It has many advantages such as simple parallel distributed computation, distributed storage, and fast learning. Four factors related to a node becoming a cluster-head are drawn by analysis, which are energy （ energy available in each node）, number （the number of neighboring nodes）, centrality （ a value to classify the nodes based on the proximity how central the node is to the cluster）, and location （the distance between the base station and the node）. The factors are as input variables of neural networks and the output variable is suitability that is the degree of a node becoming a cluster head. A group of cluster-heads are selected according to the size of network. Then the base station broadcasts a message containing the list of cluster-heads＇ IDs to all nodes. After that, each cluster-head announces its new status to all its neighbors and sets up a new cluster. If a node around it receives the message, it registers itself to be a member of the cluster. After identifying all the members, the cluster-head manages them and carries out data aggregation in each cluster. Thus data flowing in the network decreases and energy consumption of nodes decreases accordingly. Experimental results show that, compared with other algorithms, the proposed algorithm can significantly increase the lifetime of the sensor network.展开更多

The effects of the major parameters on CFM were systematically investigated based on some benchmark functions. The constriction factor, velocity constraint, and population size all have significant impact on the per- formance of CFM for PSO. The constriction factor and velocity constraint have optimal values in practical application, and im- proper choice of these factors will lead to bad results. Increasing population size can improve the solution quality, although the computing time will be longer.

With the relationship between the multistatic ambiguity function （AF） and the multistatie Cram6r-Rao lower bound （CRLB）, the problem of calculating the multistatic AF and the multistatic CRLB as a performance metric for multistatic radar system is studied. Exactly, based on the proper selection of the system parameters, the multistatic radar performance can be significantly improved. The simulation results illustrate that the multistatic AF and the multistatic CRLB can serve as guidelines for future multistatic fusion rule development and multistatic radars deployment.展开更多
