Wireless sensor networks operating in 2.4 GHz ISM band are seriously affected by interference from coexisting radio systems such as IEEE 802.11× wireless local area networks. In this paper, we investigate the transmission performance of wireless sensor networks in the presence of co-channel interference. We first analyze the probability of transmission failure and data throughput associated with transmission...
Tests of thermodynamic properties will be needed before and after overhaul of steam turbine units, in order to assess the economical conditions of the equipment, and to provide directions for operation of Electricity Plant and maintenance tasks in a power plant, to guarantee coal-and electricity-saving, more generation and supplies to offer indispensable preconditions under which an economic dispatching...
The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is designed to achieve low-power transmissions in low-rate and short-distance wireless personal area networks (WPANs). For the sake of reducing the control overheads, the modified CSMA/CA protocol used by 802.15.4 does not have the hidden device protection mechanism, such as RTS/CTS mechanism. Previous studies indicated that the probability of any two devices in an infrastructure...
In this paper we apply approximate and multiscale entropy metrics to spectrum occupancy data gathered during an extensive measurement campaign. We show that the presented methods can be successfully applied to search for and quantify structures of highly varying complexities and time scales. Although structures can be found they are unfortunately relatively complex and it does not appear to be easy...
We propose a novel distributed cross-layer optimization approach for cognitive radio wireless networks. A cognitive radio is a wireless device that is capable of sensing the prevailing environmental conditions and automatically adapting its operating parameters in order to enhance the performance of both the system and potentially the whole network. Given the lack of a centralized intelligence to...
In this paper, we evaluate network performance of non-acknowledged packet transfer in relatively large IEEE 802.15.4 network. Network under consideration contains six interconnected IEEE 802.15.4 beacon enabled network clusters in triangular topology using slave-slave (SS) bridges with CSMA-CA access. We investigate the interactions among local nodes, local bridges and remote bridges. Simulation results...
In this paper, we address the issue of transmission power control (TPC) in wireless ad hoc networks. Power control plays an important role in energy saving and network performance enhancement. However, the existing TPC schemes either face the problem of hidden and exposed terminal or have additional hardware requirements. We propose a novel distributed power control protocol, called Receiver Initiated...
