Based on the current solutions to the problem of energy hole, this paper proposed a nonuniform node distribution clustering algorithm, NNDC. Firstly, we divide the network into rings, and then have an analysis and calculation on nodes' energy consumption in each ring of the network when clustering algorithm is applied to collect data. We also put forward a scheme of nonuniform node distribution on the basis of the proportion of nodes' energy consumption in each ring, and change nodes' active/hibernating states under density control mechanism when network coverage is guaranteed. Simulation shows NNDC algorithm can satisfyingly balance nodes' energy consumption and effectively avoid the problem of energy hole.

Cluster-based wireless sensor network (WSN) can significantly reduce the energy consumption by data aggregation and has been widely used in WSN applications. However, due to the intrinsic many-to-one traffic pattern in WSN, the network lifetime is generally deteriorated by the unbalanced energy consumption in a cluster-based WSN. Therefore, energy efficiency and network lifetime improvement are two crucial and challenging issues in cluster-based WSNs. In this paper, we propose a Non-Uniform Node Distribution (NUND) scheme to improve the energy efficiency and network lifetime in cluster-based WSNs. Specifically, we first propose an analytic model to analyze the energy consumption and the network lifetime of the cluster-based WSNs. Based on the analysis results, we propose a node distribution algorithm to maximize the network lifetime with a fixed number of sensor nodes in cluster-based WSNs. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the theoretical analysis results determined by the proposed analytic model are consistent with the simulation results, and the NUND can significantly improve the energy efficiency and network lifetime.

In many wireless sensor network (WSN) applications, the information transmitted by an individual entity or node is of limited use without the knowledge of its location. Research in node localization is mostly geared towards multi-hop range-free localization algorithms to achieve accuracy by minimizing localization errors between the node's actual and estimated position. The existing localization algorithms are focused on improving localization accuracy without considering efficiency in terms of energy costs and algorithm convergence time. In this work, we show that our proposed localization scheme, called DV-maxHop, can achieve good accuracy and efficiency. We formulate the multi-objective optimization functions to minimize localization errors as well as the number of transmission during localization phase. We evaluate the performance of our scheme using extensive simulation on several anisotropic and isotropic topologies. Our scheme can achieve dual objective of accuracy and efficiency for various scenarios. Furthermore, the recently proposed algorithms require random uniform distribution of anchors. We also utilized our proposed scheme to compare and study some practical anchor distribution schemes.

Wireless sensor networks represent a new and exciting communication paradigm which could have multiple applications in future wireless communication. Therefore, performance analysis of such a wireless sensor network paradigm is needed in complex wireless channel. Wireless networks could be an important means of providing ubiquitous communication in the future. In this paper, the BER performance of uniform distributed wireless sensor networks is evaluated in non-Gaussian noise channel. Using an analytical approach, the impact of Av. BER performance relating the coherent BPSK system at the end of a multi-hop route versus the spatial density of sensor nodes and impulsive noise parameters A and $\Gamma$ is evaluated.

In this research, the simulation method for acoustic sounds by a uniform flow around a two-dimensional circular cylinder by using the finite difference lattice Boltzmann model is explained. To begin with, we examine the boundary condition which determined with the distribution function $f_i^{(0)}$ concerning with density, velocity and internal energy at boundary node. Very small acoustic pressure fluctuation, with same frequency as that of Karman vortex street, is compared with the pressure fluctuation around a circular cylinder. The acoustic sound' propagation velocity shows that acoustic approa ching the upstream, due to the Doppler effect in the uniform flow, slowly propagated. For the do wnstream, on the other hand, it quickly propagates. It is also apparently the size of sound pressure was proportional to the central distance $r^{-1/2}$ of the circular cylinder. The lattice BGK model for compressible fluids is shown to be one of powerful tool for simulation of gas flows.

This paper intends to introduce a near-tip grid refinement and to explore its usefulness in the crack analysis by the natural element method (NEM). As a sort of local h-refinement in FEM, a NEM grid is locally refined around the crack tip showing the high stress singularity. This local grid refinement is completed in two steps in which grid points are added and Delaunay triangles sharing the crack tip node are divided. A plane-state plate with symmetric edge cracks is simulated to validate the proposed local grid refinement and to examine its usefulness in the crack analysis. The crack analysis is also simulated using a uniform NEM grid for the sake of comparison. The near-tip stress distributions and SIFs that are obtained using a near-tip refined NEM grid are compared with the exact values and those obtained using uniform NEM grid. The convergence rates of global relative error to the total number of grid points between the refined and non-refined NEM grids are also compared.

본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크에서 데이터 전송을 위한 경로선택 시 남아있는 에너지가 많은 노드 중에 최소 에너지를 소모하는 경로를 선택함으로써 망의 수명을 연장하고 에너지 효율을 높일 수 있는 새로운 라우팅 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘의 기본 목표는 다수의 경로간에 에너지 소비를 고르게 분포시키며 에너지를 효율적으로 활용하는 것이며, 에너지 상태정보로는 각 노드의 가용에너지 양과 홉 수를 사용된다. 또한 이웃 노드의 에너지 저하로 인해 관리 노드로의 가용 정보경로가 상실된 경우 간단한 우회 경로 탐색 방안을 제안하였고 이는 에너지 효율성 개선 방안으로 활용될 수 있다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존에 제안된 센서 네트워크 라우팅 알고리즘보다 망의 수명이 개선되고 각 노드의 잔류에너지 분포가 더 균일하여 망의 신뢰성이 높아짐을 보였다.

In a traditional topology optimization method, material properties are usually distributed by finite element density and visualized by a gray level image. The distribution method based on element density is adequate for a great mass of 2-D topology optimization problems. However, when it is used for 3-D topology optimization, it is always difficult to obtain a smooth model representation, and easily appears a virtualconnect phenomenon especially in a low-density domain. The 3-D structural topology optimization method has been developed using the node density instead of the element density that is based on SIMP (solid isotropic microstructure with penalization) algorithm. A computer code based on Matlab was written to validate the proposed method. When it was compared to the element density as design variable, this method could get a more uniform density distribution. To show the usefulness of this method, several typical examples of structure topology optimization are presented.

기존의 IEEE 802.11 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function)와 같은 전통적인 CSMA(carrier sense multiple access) 프로토콜은 네트워크 규모가 커짐에 따라서 성능의 급격한 감쇠와 전송 지연 증가를 초래한다. 이러한 문제를 효과적으로 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크에 적합한 MAC(medium access control) 프로토콜을 제안한다. 기존의 DCF 프로토콜은 데이터 전송을 위한 슬롯(slot)을 선택할 때 패킷 충돌로 인한 재전송이 반복될 때 마다 크기가 커지는 경쟁 윈도우(contention window) 내에서 일반 확률 분포(uniform probability distribution)를 이용한 랜덤(random) 선택 기법을 사용하지만 제안한 프로토콜에서는 전송 지연을 최대한 감소시키기 위하여 경쟁 윈도우의 크기를 고정시키고, 전송 슬롯을 보다 효율적으로 선택하도록 비 균등(non-uniform)확률 분포를 사용하여 전송 슬롯을 랜덤하게 선정한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 프로토콜이 802.11 MAC 표준에 비하여 전송 지연이 감소함을 보여 전송 지연에 민감한 실시간 무선 센서 네트워크의 최적 지연 한계점(best latency bound)을 충족시키는 프로토콜임을 입증한다.
