High availability, very high throughput, low latency, and reliability are all of them crucial performance parameters. To address these demands, emerging technologies, such as non-terrestrial networks or millimeter wave (mmWave), are being included in 5G and Beyond 5G (B5G) specifications. mmWave enables massive data transmissions, at the expense of a more hostile propagation, typical for high frequency bands. Consequently, the inherent instability of the physical channel significantly affects the upper layers of the protocol stack, resulting in congestion and data losses, which might strongly hinder the overall communication performance. These challenges can be addressed not only at the link layer, but at any affected layer. QUIC is a new transport protocol designed to reduce communications latency in many ways. Among other features, it enables the use of multiple streams to effectively manage data flows sent through its underlying UDP socket. This paper introduces an implementation of priority-based stream schedulers along with the design of a flexible interface. Exploiting the proposed approach, applications are able to set the required scheduling scheme, as well as the stream priorities. The feasibility of the proposed approach is validated through an extensive experiment campaign, which combines Docker containers, the ns-3 simulator and the Mahimahi framework, which is exploited to introduce realistic mmWave channel traces. The results evince that an appropriate stream scheduler can indeed yield lower delays for time-sensitive applications by up to 36% under unreliable conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55555,"journal":{"name":"Ad Hoc Networks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1570870524002105/pdfft?md5=460c9f73b298581eb5c0a0504f183755&pid=1-s2.0-S1570870524002105-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141978838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Uncontrolled energy usage can lead to the hotspot issue, hindering network lifetime and successful packet delivery. Sink mobility has been suggested as a solution, but it comes with challenges such as high data gathering delay and poor packet reception. These problems stem from the short contact time of nodes with the Mobile Sink (MS). To tackle these issues, we present an MS-based heterogeneous WSN with super and normal nodes. Most previous studies only considered the energy heterogeneity of sensors. These methods also suffered from different issues such as fixed MS tours, including inappropriate criteria in cluster construction, proposing greedy schemes, and employing basic metaheuristic algorithms. In our proposed model, super nodes are richer in initial energy and transmission range than normal sensors. In each round, the nodes are organized into clusters, and the MS visits the Cluster Heads (CHs) to gather data packets. Super nodes, owing to their elevated initial energy, are more adept at executing energy-sensitive tasks compared to normal sensors. Additionally, as CH, super nodes extend the contact time with the MS due to their longer transmission range, delivering more packets. The clusters are constructed using a variant of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), namely PSO-TVAC. We empower this method with effective initialization and decoding methods. Furthermore, we propose a heuristic intra-cluster multi-hop routing algorithm to enhance network lifetime. Our other contribution is to propose an efficient algorithm to determine the time to reconfigure the network, while the other algorithms mainly reconfigure the WSN periodically. Simulation results demonstrate superior performance compared to state-of-the-art algorithms, showcasing lower energy consumption, higher energy efficiency, higher lifetime, reduced packet delivery delay, and higher number of received packets by 30%, 38.2%, four times, 20.6%, and 22.6%, respectively.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55555,"journal":{"name":"Ad Hoc Networks","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141990906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their performance across diverse real-world scenarios remains a topic of exploration. In this study, we evaluate the performance and transferability of four ML models—Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Feedforward Neural Network (FF), Decision Trees, and Naive Bayes—across three distinct scenarios: Barcelona, Montreal, and Rome. Through rigorous experimentation and analysis, we analyze the varying efficacy of these models in different scenarios. Our results demonstrate that LSTM outperforms other models in the Montreal and Rome scenarios, highlighting its effectiveness in predicting the optimal forwarding node for packet transmission. In contrast, Ensemble of Bagged Decision Trees emerge as the optimal model for the Barcelona scenario, exhibiting strong performance in selecting the most suitable forwarding node for packet transmission. However, the transferability of these models to scenarios where they were not trained is notably limited, as evidenced by their decreased performance on datasets from other scenarios. This observation underscores the importance of considering the data characteristics when selecting ML models for real-world applications. Furthermore, we identify that the distribution of nodes within datasets significantly influences model performance, highlighting its critical role in determining model efficacy.

Current solutions have two limitations: one is the balance between energy consumption and delay, and the other is the overly ideal network model, e.g., the square region or circular area. This paper focuses on strip-shaped networks and proposes a novel mobile data collection method to find a trade-off between energy preservation and data delivery delay. Firstly, the MDC path is planned by solving the diameter of the tree in the network, resulting in reduced delay. Secondly, the network energy consumption is further reduced by clustering and optimal transmission distance adjustment. Then, a network lifetime balancing mechanism is designed to balance network energy between backbone and branches. Finally, the performance of the algorithm proposed in this paper has been studied in four types of strip-shaped WSNs and compared with four existing MDC methods with evaluation metrics of maximum node energy consumption, network delay and weighted sum of both.
