Abstract: Many advanced Routing protocols for wireless sensor networks have been implemented for the effective routing of data. Energy awareness is an essential design issue and almost all of these routing protocols are considered as energy efficient and its ultimate objective is to maximize the whole network lifetime. However, the introductions of video and imaging sensors have posed additional challenges. Transmission of video and imaging data requires both energy and QoS aware routing in order to ensure efficient usage of the sensors and effective access to the gathered measurements. In this paper, the performance of the energy-aware QoS routing Protocol are analyzed in different performance metrics like average lifetime of a node, average delay per packet and network throughput. The parameters considered in this study are end-to-end delay, real time data generation/capture rates, packet drop probability and buffer size. The network throughput for realtime and non-realtime data was also has been analyzed. The simulation has been done in NS2 simulation environment and the simulation results were analyzed with respect to different metrics.
Abstract: Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) have successfully
been applied in numerous domains to show relations between
essential components. In some FCM, there are more nodes, which
related to each other and more nodes means more complex in system
behaviors and analysis. In this paper, a novel learning method used to
construct FCMs based on historical data and by using data mining
and DEMATEL method, a new method defined to reduce nodes
number. This method cluster nodes in FCM based on their cause and
effect behaviors.
Abstract: The cellular network is one of the emerging areas of
communication, in which the mobile nodes act as member for one
base station. The cluster based communication is now an emerging
area of wireless cellular multimedia networks. The cluster renders
fast communication and also a convenient way to work with
connectivity. In our scheme we have proposed an optimization
technique for the fuzzy cluster nodes, by categorizing the group
members into three categories like long refreshable member, medium
refreshable member and short refreshable member. By considering
long refreshable nodes as static nodes, we compute the new
membership values for the other nodes in the cluster. We compare
their previous and present membership value with the threshold value
to categorize them into three different members. By which, we
optimize the nodes in the fuzzy clusters. The simulation results show
that there is reduction in the cluster computational time and
iterational time after optimization.
