Lightweight Data Compression in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Huffman Coding by Henry Ponti Medeiros, Marcos Costa Maciel, Richard Demo Souza, Marcelo Eduardo Pellenz

“…Instead of attempting to devise novel ad hoc algorithms, we show that, given general knowledge of the parameters that must be monitored, it is possible to efficiently employ conventional Huffman coding to represent the same parameter when measured at different locations and time periods. …”

AODV protocol for acoustic-radio integrated network based on location information and energy balance by Nongyu WEI, Zilong JIANG, Fangjiong CHEN

“…Different from terrestrial internet of things (IoT) applications, marine IoT applications need to solve the problem of information interaction between surface network and underwater network.The key to solve this problem is to design a proper routing scheme.An ad hoc on-demand distance vector for acoustic-radio integrated network (AR-AODV) was proposed based on location information and energy balance.The protocol enables surface radio links to forward more information data, so as to reduce the burden of underwater communication network and improve the overall performance.In the proposed protocol, the forwarding priority of the buoy nodes was higher than that of the underwater nodes.When the source node needs to send data, it enters the route discovery phase, i.e., the node uses its position and energy information as the heuristic information to calculate the forwarding probability and broadcast route request (RREQ) packets.When the destination node receives an RREQ packet, it sent an RREP packet to update the pheromone and select the optimal path based on the pheromone.Compared with AODV protocol, AR-AODV protocol has significantly improved the performance in terms of transmission success rate, transmission delay, throughput, energy conversion rate and routing packet forwarding times.…”

Os Ducas e a recompensa dificilmente dividida by João Vicente de Medeiros Publio Dias

“…However, in fact, the emperors did distribute power, especially Alexios I (1081-1118), but in a more restricted and ad hoc way. Thus, given the Doukas’ role in the rebellion, it was expected that Alexios I would share power with this family, but he preferred to do so with his mother and brother. …”

Low-latency algorithm for improving data persistence in mobile low-duty-cycle wireless sensor network by Chan JIANG, Taoshen LI, Junbin LIANG

“…Mobile low-duty-cycle wireless sensor network (MLDC-WSN) are a kind of new ad hoc networks that are appeared in recent years.In MLDC-WSN,the nodes only have limited storage spaces.Moreover,the nodes would move or sleep from time to time.Therefore,these networks have some problems such as connectivity is hard to be maintained and data are hard to be transmitted to their destinations for storage in time.As a result,data persistence (i.e.…”
