In this paper, we develop a novel framework that attempts to reduce network traffic for error-bounded data collection in wireless sensor networks. In many sensor applications, it is acceptable that the monitoring results evaluated based on collected data might deviate from the exact results; as long as the error is bounded by a certain threshold. One well-known technique for error-bounded data collection...
There are heavy studies recently on applying wireless sensor networks for structural health monitoring. These works usually focus on the computer science aspect, and the considerations include energy consumption, network connectivity, etc. It is commonly believed that for the current resource limited wireless sensors, system design could be more efficient if the application requirements are incorporated...
Frequently appeared sensor faults greatly reduce the usability and reliability of sensor networks. Distributed automatous faulty sensor detection is critical for self-managed and sustainable sensor networks. A number of detection methods have been proposed for specific fault types. In this paper, we propose a general approach for detecting arbitrary types of faults. The approach includes a new general...
Faulty sensor data undermine the usability and reliability of sensor networks. Distributed automatous faulty sensor detection is a critical component of a self-managed and sustainable sensor network. In this paper, we present a new distribution-based optimization approach for distributed faulty data detection. We propose a new statistical measurement mutual divergence as the optimization objective...
There is a growing interest in using wireless sensor networks for security monitoring in the underground coal mines. In such applications, the sensor nodes are deployed to detect interested events, e.g., the density of certain gas at some locations is higher than the predefined threshold. These events are then reported to the base station outside. Using conventional multi-hop routing for data reporting,...
Tag antenna can make RFID tags be read at a distance and do not require a line of sight between tag and reader. This paper describes design and optimization aspects of antenna coil of tag for RFID system in High Frequency (HF) band. An equivalent circuit of tag is established and a new detailed design method is demonstrated. An experimental formula with high efficiency is used to calculate the inductance...
In recent years, there are substantial demands to reduce packet loss in the Internet. Among the schemes proposed, finding backup paths in advance is considered to be an effective method to reduce the reaction time. Very commonly, a backup path is chosen to be a most disjoint path from the primary path, or in the network level, backup paths are computed for all links (e.g., IPRFF). The validity of...
To improve the training speed of SVM, we propose a new SVM training approach which takes thick convex-hull as training set. The approach makes better use of the margin information for classification of data sets, and thus extends the use of convex hull to approximately linearly separable problems. Experiments on 5 UCI data sets indicate that the approach speeds up training of SVM with guarantee of...
