It could enhance the network throughput and save the energy consumption, and is mainly based on the single transmission rate. However, with the development of wireless network and equipment, wireless local network MAC protocols have already supported the multi-rate transmission. This paper investigates the optimal relay selection problem based on network coding. Firstly, the problem is formulated as an optimization problem. Moreover, a relay algorithm based on network coding is proposed and the transmission time gain of our algorithm over the traditional relay algorithm is analyzed. Lastly, we compare total transmission time and the energy consumption of our proposed algorithm, Network Coding with Relay Assistance (NCRA), Transmission Request (TR), and the Direct Transmission (DT) without relay algorithm by adopting IEEE 802.11b. The simulation results demonstrate that our algorithm that improves the coding opportunity by the cooperation of the relay nodes leads to the transmission time decrease of up to 17% over the traditional relay algorithms.展开更多

Emphasis is laid on the topology and distributed routing algorithms for the DOLDL. On the basis of building an abstract model, a set of definitions and theorems are described and proved. An algorithm which can optimize the double loop networks is presented. The optimal values of the topologic parameters for the DOLDL have been obtained by the algorithm, and these numerical results are analyzed. The study shows that the bounds of the optimal diameter d and average hop distance a for this class of networks are [3N- 2]≤d≤[3N ] and (5N/9 (N-1))-(3N -1.8)<a<(5N/9(N-1)) (3N -0.9),respectively (N is the number of nodes in the network ). A class of the distributed routing algorithms for the DOLDL and the implementation procedure of an adaptive fault-tolerant algorithm are proposed and analyzed. The correctness of the algorithm has also been verified by simulating.展开更多

When adversaries launch deauthentication flood attacks cutting users' connection, the connection managers will automatically research the last access point's extended service set identifier (ESSID) and then re-establish connection. However, such re-connection can lead the users to a fake access point with the same ESSID set by attackers. As the attackers hide behind users' access points, they can pass AL's authentication and security schemes, e.g. secure socket layer (SSL). We have proved that they can even spy on users' account details, passwords, data and privacy.展开更多

A new local-world evolving network model is proposed in this paper. In the model, not all the nodes obtain local network information, which is different from the local world network model proposed by Li and Chen （LC model）. In the LC model, each node has only the local connections therefore owns only local information about the entire networks. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation show that adjusting the ratio of the number of nodes obtaining the global information of the network to the total number of nodes can effectively control the valuing range for the power-law exponent of the new network. Therefore, if the topological structure of a complex network, especially its exponent of power-law degree distribution, needs controlling, we just add or take away a few nodes which own the global information of the network.展开更多

On account of the unique characteristics of underwater environment, localization, as one of the fundamental tasks in UASNs, is a more challenging work than in terrestrial sensor networks. A survey of the ranging algorithms and the network architectures varied with different applications in UASNs is provided in this paper. Algorithms used to estimate the coordinates of the UASNs nodes are classified into two categories: rangebased and range-free. In addition, we analyze the architectures of UASNs based on different applications, and compare their performances from the aspects of communication cost, accuracy, coverage and so on. Open research issues which would affect the accuracy of localization are also discussed, including MAC protocols, sound speed and time synchronization.展开更多

A localization algorithm has to be dynamic, scalable and should not impose high computation or communication overhead. The localization systems are also prone to attacks. We target a localization scheme for mobile sensor networks called Monte-Carlo Localization, which study its behavior under the most dangerous attack on localization called Wormhole Attack, also known as Collusion Attack and propose a modified algorithm that can help the localization system retain its accuracy level even in the presence of attacks. Our algorithm has communication cost almost equal to that of original localization algorithm (in this case MCL) in the absence of attacks.展开更多

In this paper, we propose a two phase hybrid approach for localization using Multidi- mensional Scaling and trilateration, namely, MDS with refinement using trilateration. Trilateration refines the estimated locations obtained by the MDS algorithm and hence acts as a post optimizer which improves the accuracy of the estimated positions of sensor nodes. Through extensive simulations, we have shown that the proposed algorithm is more robust to noise than previous approaches and provides higher accuracy for estimating the positions of sensor nodes.展开更多

A distributed localization algorithm is presented based on the rigid graph. Before location, the communication radius is adaptively increasing to add the localizability. The localization process includes three steps: firstly, divide the whole globally rigid graph into several small rigid blocks; secondly, set up the local coordinate systems and transform them to global coordinate system; finally, use the quadrilateration iteration technology to locate the nodes in the wireless sensor network. This algorithm has the advantages of low energy consumption, low computational complexity as well as high expandability and high localizability. Moreover, it can achieve the unique and accurate localization. Finally, some simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

Locally resonant phononic crystal （LRPC） exhibits excellent sound attenuation performance based on the periodical arrangement of sound wave scatters. Combining the LRPC concept and interpenetrating network glassy structure, this paper has developed a new material which can achieve a wide band underwater strong acoustic absorption. Underwater absorption coefficients of different samples were measured by the pulse tube. Measurement results show that the new material possesses excellent underwater acoustic effects in a wide frequency range.Moreover, in order to investigate impacts of locally resonant units,some defects are introduced into the sample. The experimental result and the theoretical calculation both show that locally resonant units being connected to a network structure play an important role in achieving a wide band strong acoustic absorption.展开更多

The proposed strategy capitalizes on recent developments on H-infinity control and its promising results in robust stabilization of plants under unstructured uncertainties. CE-150 helicopters are known for their varying operating conditions along with external disturbances. Therefore, local model networks are introduced for their adaptive feature and since they provide a powerful combination of fuzzy logic and conventional linear control techniques to control nonlinear systems without the added computational burden of soft-computing techniques. Using the fact that the system can be linearized at different operating points, a mixed sensitivity H-infinity controller is designed for the linearized system, and combined within a network to make transitions between them. The proposed control structure ensures robustness, decoupling of the system dynamics while achieving good performance. A comparison is carried-out against the well-known proportional-integral-derivative （PID） control technique. Results are presented to illustrate the controller＇s performance in various operating conditions.展开更多

The events were relocated using standard computer codes for hypocentral locations. The detectability levels are estimated from the twenty-five years of recorded data in terms of 50%, 90% and 100% cumulative detectability thresholds, which were derived from frequency-magnitude distribution. From this analysis the 100% level of detectability of the network is M L=1.7 for events which occur within the network. The accuracy in hypocentral solutions of the network is investigated by considering the fixed real hypocenter within the network. The epicentral errors are found to be less than 4 km when the events occur within the network. Finally, the problems faced during continuous operation of the local network, which effects its detectability, are discussed.展开更多
