Abstract The MDS-MAP (multidimensional scaling-MAP) localization algorithm utilize almost merely connectivity information, and therefore it is easy to implement in practice of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Anisotropic networks with energy hole, however, has blind communication spots that cause loss of information in the merging phase of MDSMAP. To enhance the positioning accuracy, the authors propose an MDS-MAP (CH) algorithm which can improve the clustering and merging strategy. In order to balance the effect of energy consumption and the network topology stabilization, we present a weighted clustering scheme, which considers the residual energy, the degree of connectivity More >

Abstract Full-duplex (FD) has been recognized as a promising technology for future 5G networks to improve the spectrum efficiency. However, the biggest practical impediments of realizing full-duplex communications are the presence of self-interference, especially in complex cellular networks. With the current development of self-interference cancellation techniques, full-duplex has been considered to be more suitable for device-to-device (D2D) and small cell communications which have small transmission range and low transmit power. In this paper, we consider the full-duplex D2D communications in multi-tier wireless networks and present an analytical model which jointly considers mode selection, resource allocation, and More >

Abstract In recent years, Researchers have proposed the concept of Energy Harvesting Backscatter Wireless Networks (EHBWN). EHBWN usually consists of one sink and several backscatter nodes. Backscatter nodes harvest energy from their environment and communicate with sink through backscattering the carrier wave transmitted by sink. Although a certain amount of access protocols for Energy Harvesting Wireless Networks have been present, they usually do not take the sink’s receiver sensitivity into account, which makes those protocols unsuitable in practice. In this paper, we first give an analysis of the backscatter channel link budget and the relationship between… More >
