Rich: Region-based Intelligent Cluster-Head Selection and Node Deployment Strategy in Concentric-based WSNs

FAN, C.-S. • Advances in Electrical and Computer Engineering (2013)

In a random deployment, sensor nodes are scattered randomly in the sensing field. Hence, the coverage can not be guaranteed. In contrast, the coverage of uniformly deployment is in general larger than the random deployment. However, unifo...

On the Temporal Variability of the Galactic Multi-TeV Interstellar Emissions

P. D. Marinos, T. A. Porter, G. P. Rowell, G. Jóhannesson et al. • The Astrophysical Journal (2025)

We use the GALPROP cosmic ray (CR) framework to model the Galactic CR distributions and associated nonthermal diffuse emissions up to PeV energies. We consider ensembles of discrete, finite lifetime CR sources, e.g., supernova remnants, for...

An Energy Efficient Distance-Aware Routing Algorithm with Multiple Mobile Sinks for Wireless Sensor Networks

Jin Wang, Bin Li, Feng Xia, Chang-Seob Kim et al. • Sensors (2014)

Traffic patterns in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) usually follow a many-to-one model. Sensor nodes close to static sinks will deplete their limited energy more rapidly than other sensors, since they will have more data to forward during m...
