To improve some distant WDs’ throughput performance, one of them is allowed to be selected as a cluster head (CH) to help transfer information from other cluster members (CMs). Nevertheless, the proposed clustering collaboration’s performance is essentially restricted by the CH’s energy-intensive consumption (EC), which requires to transfer every WDs’ information, covering its own. In order to figure out the question, the HAP’s energy beamforming (EB) capability with multiple antennas is utilized that can concentrate greater transmission power into the CH to equilibrate its EC to assist other WDs. To be specific, each WD’s throughput performance is firstly derived under the proposed approach. A high-efficiency optimization algorithm for addressing cooperative optimization problem is put forward. In addition, the simulations are carried out in the actual network environment, and the results demonstrate that our proposed clustering collaboration with multiple antennas can validly enhance the WPCN’s throughput fairness based on nonlinear EH.","PeriodicalId":54327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks","volume":"115 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134957322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spectrum detection methods are employed in the blockchain-based CR to make optimum use of the spectrum reserves. In this paper, an attempt is made to evaluate the effectiveness of an energy sensor using collaborative spectrum detection. Wideband is defined as the frequency range between 470 MHz and 790 MHz, and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is employed. The probability of detection ( <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" id=\"M1\"> <msub> <mrow> <mi>P</mi> </mrow> <mrow> <mtext>d</mtext> </mrow> </msub> </math> ) under different situations is examined using detection in the receiver operational curve (ROC). According to the findings, the <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" id=\"M2\"> <msub> <mrow> <mi>P</mi> </mrow> <mrow> <mtext>d</mtext> </mrow> </msub> </math> increases with the number of samples. This form of sensing, which is thought to be the easiest and best, uses energy-detecting spectrum sensing. To address ambiguity, the M-ary QAM technique is provided, which increases aggregate effectiveness in terms of the percentage of false alarm ( <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" id=\"M3\"> <msub> <mrow> <mi>P</mi> </mrow> <mrow> <mtext>f</mtext> </mrow> </msub> </math> ) and probability of missed detection ( <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" id=\"M4\"> <msub> <mrow> <mi>P</mi> </mrow> <mrow> <mtext>m</mtext> </mrow> </msub> </math> ) by 5% at a comparable delay period. When CR encounters shadowing and impacts situations, the client cannot tell the difference between an underutilized zone and fading. In comparison to the existing model, this study increases the likelihood of detecting a 3 dBm SNR for a 64-QAM modulated signal by at least 15%.","PeriodicalId":54327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks","volume":"9 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135510906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To tackle the nonconvex problem, we recast the original problem into an equivalent formulation by using some important facts about matrices and proposed a block coordinate descent (BCD) method to optimize the variables.

It is imperative that this should be healthy and risk-free for a safe consumption. Therefore, it is vital to keep track of the environmental conditions during the drying process and the characteristics that exist inside maize storage containers. In Rwanda, traditional methods are most commonly used by maize farmers for drying and storage purposes, where no smart system is being used to monitor the environmental conditions under which the maize grains are dried and stored. This mostly affects the quality of maize and flour being produced which will finally affect food security. In this research, temperature, humidity, and light sensors are deployed in the grain storage containers for environmental parameter detection purposes to achieve the primary goal of providing practical, secure, and easily accessible storage in inclement weather. Temperature and humidity are two factors that have an impact on grain quality while in storage. The ThingSpeak platform has been used to help farmers monitor the drying and storing conditions of the maize on a real-time basis. A global system for mobile (GSM) communication module is used to notify farmers by sending a short message in case of critical drying or storing environmental parameters under which the maize grains are stored. The result is shown in the form of humidity, temperature, and light graphs which are displayed on the ThingSpeak platform in real-time mode.","PeriodicalId":54327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134885111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The direction cosine matrix transforms vertical acceleration from the device coordinates to the topocentric coordinates. The empirical mode decomposition is used to remove the zero- and first-order skew effects resulting from an integration process. Our experimental results show that our algorithm performs well in step length estimation.
