An efficient network management is necessary to gain an optimal tradeoffbetween locating accuracy and energy consumption. This article proposes a self-organizing target tracking algorithm to select the most beneficial subset of nodes to track the target at every snapshot. Compared with traditional methods, this scheme avoids the need for keeping global position information of the network as in greedy selection. Each node judges its future usefulness depending on the knowledge of its own position and using simple mathematics computation. Simulations indicate that this scheme has locating accuracy comparable to the global greedy algorithm. Also, it has good robustness against node failure and autonomous adaptability to the change of the network scale. Furthermore, this algorithm consumes limited energy because only a portion of nodes partakes in the selection at every snapshot.展开更多

Widespread waterlogging disasters haveoccurred almost annuallyinthe urban area of Beijing, the capital of China. Based on a selforganizing map(SOM) artificial neural network(ANN), a graded waterlogging risk assessment was conducted on 56 low-lying points in Beijing, China. Social risk factors, such as Gross domestic product(GDP), population density, and traffic congestion, were utilized as input datasets in this study. The results indicate that SOM-ANNis suitable for automatically and quantitatively assessing risks associated with waterlogging. The greatest advantage of SOM-ANN in the assessment of waterlogging risk is that a priori knowledge about classification categories and assessment indicator weights is not needed. As a result, SOM-ANN can effectively overcome interference from subjective factors,producing classification results that are more objective and accurate. In this paper, the risk level of waterlogging in Beijing was divided into five grades. The points that were assigned risk grades of IV or Vwere located mainly in the districts of Chaoyang, Haidian, Xicheng, and Dongcheng.展开更多

文摘It is difficult to improve both energy consumption and detection accuracy simultaneously,and even to obtain the trade-off between them,when detecting and tracking moving targets,especially for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks(UWSNs).To this end,this paper investigates the relationship between the Degree of Target Change(DoTC)and the detection period,as well as the impact of individual nodes.A Hierarchical Detection and Tracking Approach(HDTA)is proposed.Firstly,the network detection period is determined according to DoTC,which reflects the variation of target motion.Secondly,during the network detection period,each detection node calculates its own node detection period based on the detection mutual information.Taking DoTC as pheromone,an ant colony algorithm is proposed to adaptively adjust the network detection period.The simulation results show that the proposed HDTA with the optimizations of network level and node level significantly improves the detection accuracy by 25%and the network energy consumption by 10%simultaneously,compared to the traditional adaptive period detection schemes.

文摘Due to rapid urbanization, waterlogging induced by torrential rainfall has become a global concern and a potential risk affecting urban habitant's safety. Widespread waterlogging disasters haveoccurred almost annuallyinthe urban area of Beijing, the capital of China. Based on a selforganizing map(SOM) artificial neural network(ANN), a graded waterlogging risk assessment was conducted on 56 low-lying points in Beijing, China. Social risk factors, such as Gross domestic product(GDP), population density, and traffic congestion, were utilized as input datasets in this study. The results indicate that SOM-ANNis suitable for automatically and quantitatively assessing risks associated with waterlogging. The greatest advantage of SOM-ANN in the assessment of waterlogging risk is that a priori knowledge about classification categories and assessment indicator weights is not needed. As a result, SOM-ANN can effectively overcome interference from subjective factors,producing classification results that are more objective and accurate. In this paper, the risk level of waterlogging in Beijing was divided into five grades. The points that were assigned risk grades of IV or Vwere located mainly in the districts of Chaoyang, Haidian, Xicheng, and Dongcheng.
文摘Internet of things and network densification bring significant challenges to uplink management.Only depending on optimization algorithm enhancements is not enough for uplink transmission.To control intercell interference,Fractional Uplink Power Control(FUPC)should be optimized from network-wide perspective,which has to find a better traffic distribution model.Conventionally,traffic distribution is geographic-based,and ineffective due to tricky locating efforts.This paper proposes a novel uplink power management framework for Self-Organizing Networks(SON),which firstly builds up pathloss-based traffic distribution model and then makes the decision of FUPC based on the model.PathLoss-based Traffic Distribution(PLTD)aggregates traffic based on the propagation condition of traffic that is defined as the pathloss between the position generating the traffic and surrounding cells.Simulations show that the improvement in optimization efficiency of FUPC with PLTD can be up to 40%compared to conventional GeoGraphic-based Traffic Distribution(GGTD).

文摘Wireless Sensor Network(WSN)comprises a set of interconnected,compact,autonomous,and resource-constrained sensor nodes that are wirelessly linked to monitor and gather data from the physical environment.WSNs are commonly used in various applications such as environmental monitoring,surveillance,healthcare,agriculture,and industrial automation.Despite the benefits of WSN,energy efficiency remains a challenging problem that needs to be addressed.Clustering and routing can be considered effective solutions to accomplish energy efficiency in WSNs.Recent studies have reported that metaheuristic algorithms can be applied to optimize cluster formation and routing decisions.This study introduces a new Northern Goshawk Optimization with boosted coati optimization algorithm for cluster-based routing(NGOBCO-CBR)method for WSN.The proposed NGOBCO-CBR method resolves the hot spot problem,uneven load balancing,and energy consumption in WSN.The NGOBCO-CBR technique comprises two major processes such as NGO based clustering and BCO-based routing.In the initial phase,the NGObased clustering method is designed for cluster head(CH)selection and cluster construction using five input variables such as residual energy(RE),node proximity,load balancing,network average energy,and distance to BS(DBS).Besides,the NGOBCO-CBR technique applies the BCO algorithm for the optimum selection of routes to BS.The experimental results of the NGOBCOCBR technique are studied under different scenarios,and the obtained results showcased the improved efficiency of the NGOBCO-CBR technique over recent approaches in terms of different measures.

文摘In order to solve the problems of short network lifetime and high data transmission delay in data gathering for wireless sensor network(WSN)caused by uneven energy consumption among nodes,a hybrid energy efficient clustering routing base on firefly and pigeon-inspired algorithm(FF-PIA)is proposed to optimise the data transmission path.After having obtained the optimal number of cluster head node(CH),its result might be taken as the basis of producing the initial population of FF-PIA algorithm.The L′evy flight mechanism and adaptive inertia weighting are employed in the algorithm iteration to balance the contradiction between the global search and the local search.Moreover,a Gaussian perturbation strategy is applied to update the optimal solution,ensuring the algorithm can jump out of the local optimal solution.And,in the WSN data gathering,a onedimensional signal reconstruction algorithm model is developed by dilated convolution and residual neural networks(DCRNN).We conducted experiments on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA)dataset.It shows that the DCRNN modeldriven data reconstruction algorithm improves the reconstruction accuracy as well as the reconstruction time performance.FF-PIA and DCRNN clustering routing co-simulation reveals that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the performance in extending the network lifetime and reducing data transmission delay.

文摘This paper studies the problem of jamming decision-making for dynamic multiple communication links in wireless communication networks(WCNs).We propose a novel jamming channel allocation and power decision-making(JCAPD)approach based on multi-agent deep reinforcement learning(MADRL).In high-dynamic and multi-target aviation communication environments,the rapid changes in channels make it difficult for sensors to accurately capture instantaneous channel state information.This poses a challenge to make centralized jamming decisions with single-agent deep reinforcement learning(DRL)approaches.In response,we design a distributed multi-agent decision architecture(DMADA).We formulate multi-jammer resource allocation as a multiagent Markov decision process(MDP)and propose a fingerprint-based double deep Q-Network(FBDDQN)algorithm for solving it.Each jammer functions as an agent that interacts with the environment in this framework.Through the design of a reasonable reward and training mechanism,our approach enables jammers to achieve distributed cooperation,significantly improving the jamming success rate while considering jamming power cost,and reducing the transmission rate of links.Our experimental results show the FBDDQN algorithm is superior to the baseline methods.

文摘Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN)have gained significant attention over recent years due to their extensive applications in various domains such as environmentalmonitoring,healthcare systems,industrial automation,and smart cities.However,such networks are inherently vulnerable to different types of attacks because they operate in open environments with limited resources and constrained communication capabilities.Thepaper addresses challenges related to modeling and analysis of wireless sensor networks and their susceptibility to attacks.Its objective is to create versatile modeling tools capable of detecting attacks against network devices and identifying anomalies caused either by legitimate user errors or malicious activities.A proposed integrated approach for data collection,preprocessing,and analysis in WSN outlines a series of steps applicable throughout both the design phase and operation stage.This ensures effective detection of attacks and anomalies within WSNs.An introduced attackmodel specifies potential types of unauthorized network layer attacks targeting network nodes,transmitted data,and services offered by the WSN.Furthermore,a graph-based analytical framework was designed to detect attacks by evaluating real-time events from network nodes and determining if an attack is underway.Additionally,a simulation model based on sequences of imperative rules defining behaviors of both regular and compromised nodes is presented.Overall,this technique was experimentally verified using a segment of a WSN embedded in a smart city infrastructure,simulating a wormhole attack.Results demonstrate the viability and practical significance of the technique for enhancing future information security measures.Validation tests confirmed high levels of accuracy and efficiency when applied specifically to detecting wormhole attacks targeting routing protocols in WSNs.Precision and recall rates averaged above the benchmark value of 0.95,thus validating the broad applicability of the proposed models across varied scenarios.

文摘Video distribution strategies in wireless edge networks can significantly reduce video transmission latency and system energy consumption,meeting emerging video services'high-rate,low-latency requirements.However,channel condition variability and dynamics caused by user-to-base-station distance and user mobility affect the Quality of Experience(QoE).To address this problem,this paper examines adaptive video streaming strategies under dynamic channel conditions to optimize user Qo E.Specifically,to achieve centralized control of wireless edge networks and simplify the management and scheduling of communication resources,Software-Defined Networking(SDN)is adopted within the wireless edge network,and an SDN-based edge caching architecture is proposed.Based on the virtual queue of users receiving video and combining various video factors to quantify the user QoE metric,an optimization problem is established to maximize the time-averaged total user Qo E.Subsequently,an adaptive video distribution algorithm is designed,and the optimal video quality selection strategy and power allocation strategy are obtained in conjunction with Lyapunov optimization theory.Therefore,simulation results indicate that our approach significantly reduces video playback interruptions and enhances user Qo E.
