IoT paradigm which makes a information without direct intervention of a human and interworks with other objects, humans and systems is attracting attention. It will be expected the number of smart devices equipped with sensors and wireless communication capabilities is reached to about 260 billion by 2020. With the vast amount of sending data generated from rapidly increasing number of smart devices, it will bring up the traffic growth over internet and congestion in wireless networks. In this paper, we utilize the smart device as a sink node to collect and forward the sensing data periodically in IoT and propose a heuristic algorithm for a selection of sink nodes' set with each sink node satisfies the QoS its applications because a selection of optimal sink nodes' set is NP-hard problem. The complexity of proposed heuristic algorithm is $O(m^3)$ and faster than the optimal algorithm.

Compressive sensing (CS) has to face with two challenges of computational complexity reconstruction and low coding efficiency. As a solution, this paper presents a novel spatially scalable Kronecker two layer compressive sensing framework which facilitates reconstruction up to three spatial resolutions as well as much improved CS coding performance. We propose a dual-resolution sensing matrix based on the quincunx sampling grid which is applied to the base layer. This sensing matrix can provide a fast-preview of low resolution image at encoder side which is utilized for predictive coding. The enhancement layer is encoded as the residual measurement between the acquired measurement and predicted measurement data. The low resolution reconstruction is obtained from the base layer only while the high resolution image is jointly reconstructed using both two layers. Experimental results validate that the proposed scheme outperforms both conventional single layer and previous multi-resolution schemes especially at high bitrate like 2.0 bpp by 5.75dB and 5.05dB PSNR gain on average, respectively.

Compresses sensing (CS) technique is beneficial for reducing power consumption of biopotential acquisition circuits in wireless healthcare system. This paper investigates the maximum possible compress ratio for various biopotential signal when the CS technique is applied. By using the CS technique, we perform the compression and reconstruction of typical electrocardiogram(ECG), electromyogram(EMG), electroencephalogram(EEG) signals. By comparing the original signal and reconstructed signal, we determines the validity of the CS-based signal compression. Raw-biopotential signal is compressed by using a psuedo-random matrix, and the compressed signal is reconstructed by using the Block Sparse Bayesian Learning(BSBL) algorithm. EMG signal, which is the most sparse biopotential signal, the maximum compress ratio is found to be 10, and the ECG'sl maximum compress ratio is found to be 5. EEG signal, which is the least sparse bioptential signal, the maximum compress ratio is found to be 4. The results of this work is useful and instrumental for the design of wireless biopotential signal monitoring circuits.

There have been many studies on the direction-of-arrival(DOA) estimation algorithm using antenna arrays. Beamforming, Capon's method, maximum likelihood, MUSIC algorithms are the main algorithms for the DOA estimation. Recently, compressive sensing-based DOA estimation algorithm exploiting the sparsity of the incident signals has attracted much attention in the signal processing community. In this paper, the performance of the L1-SVD algorithm, which is based on fitting of the data matrix, is compared with that of the MUSIC algorithm.

Compressive Sensing (CS) is a new signal acquisition paradigm which enables sampling under Nyquist rate for a special kind of signal called sparse signal. There are plenty of CS recovery methods but their performance are still challenging, especially at a low sub-rate. For CS recovery of natural images, regularizations exploiting some prior information can be used in order to enhance CS performance. In this context, this paper addresses improving quality of reconstructed natural images based on Dantzig selector and smooth filters (i.e., Gaussian filter and nonlocal means filter) to generate a new regularization called smooth residual error regularization. Moreover, total variation has been proved for its success in preserving edge objects and boundary of reconstructed images. Therefore, effectiveness of the proposed regularization is verified by experimenting it using augmented Lagrangian total variation minimization. This framework is considered as a new CS recovery seeking smoothness in residual images. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvement of the proposed framework over some other CS recoveries both in subjective and objective qualities. In the best case, our algorithm gains up to 9.14 dB compared with the CS recovery using Bayesian framework.

Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), an increasingly growing acquisition technique in the oil and gas exploration and seismology fields, has been used to record seismic signals using optical cables as receivers. With the development of imaging methods for DAS data, full waveform inversion (FWI) is been applied to DAS data to obtain high-resolution property models such as P- and S-velocity. However, because the DAS systems measure strain from the phase distortion between two points along optical cables, DAS data must be transformed from strain to particle velocity for FWI algorithms. In this study, a plane-wave FWI algorithm based on the relationship between strain and horizontal particle velocity in the plane-wave assumption is proposed to apply FWI to DAS data. Under the plane-wave assumption, strain equals the horizontal particle velocity, which is scaled by the velocity at the receiver position. This relationship was confirmed using a numerical experiment. Furthermore, 4-layer and modified Marmousi-2 velocity models were used to verify the applicability of the proposed FWI algorithm in various survey environments. The proposed FWI was implemented in land and marine survey environments and provided high-resolution P- and S-velocity models.

To sense a wide area with mobile nodes, the uniformity of node deployment is a very important issue. In this paper, we consider the coverage problem to sense big data in sparse mobile ad hoc networks. In most existing works on the coverage problem, it has been assumed that the number of nodes is large enough to cover the area in the network. However, the coverage problem in sparse mobile ad hoc networks differs in the sense that a long-distance between nodes should be formed to avoid the overlapping coverage areas. We formulate the sensor coverage problem in sparse mobile ad hoc networks and provide the solution to the problem by a self-organized approach without a central authority. The experimental results show that our approach is more efficient than the existing ones, subject to both of coverage areas and energy consumption.

In this paper, we consider a mobile sensor network for monitoring a polluted area where human beings cannot access. Due to the limited sensing range of individual unmanned vehicles, they need to cooperate to achieve an effective sensing coverage and move to a more polluted region. In order to address the limitations of sensing and communication ranges, we propose a hazardous substance monitoring network based on virtual force algorithms, and develop a testbed. In the considered monitoring network, each unmanned vehicle achieves an optimal coverage and move to the highest interest area based on neighboring nodes sensing values and locations. By using experiments based on the developed testbed, we show that the proposed monitoring network can autonomously move toward a more polluted area and obtain a high weighted coverage.

With the spread of smartphones containing multiple on-board sensors, the market for context aware applications have grown. However, due to the limited power capacity of a smartphone, users feel discontented QoS. Additionally, context aware applications require the utilization of many forms of context and sensing information. If context transition has occurred, types of needed sensors must be changed and each sensor modules need to turn on/off. In addition, excessive sensing has been found when the context decision is ambiguous. In this paper, we focus on power consumption associated with the context transition that occurs during indoor/outdoor detection, modeling the activities of the sensor associated with these contexts. And we suggest a freezing algorithm that reduces power consumption in context transition. We experiment with a commercial application that service is indoor/outdoor location tracking, measure power consumption in context transition with and without the utilization of the proposed method. We find that proposed method reduces power consumption about 20% during context transition.
