Poor links result in retransmissions and more energy consumption. So link quality is an important issue in the design of routing protocol which is not considered in most traditional clustered routing protocols. A based on energy and link quality's routing protocol( EQRP) is proposed to optimize the clustering mechanism which takes into account energy balance and link quality factors. EQRP takes the advantage of high quality links to increase success rate of single communication and reduce the cost of communication. Simulation shows that,compared with traditional clustered protocol,EQRP can perform 40% better,in terms of life cycle of the whole network.展开更多

In the cluster selection process, in order to optimize the network topology and select more proper nodes as the cluster head, the proposed clustering algorithm considers the shortest path prediction of the node to the destination sink and the congestion situation. In the data transmission procedure, the high-efficiency CEDOR opportunistic routing algorithm is applied into the ED-HEED as the data transmission mode between cluster headers. A novel adaptive dynamic clustering mechanism is also considered into the algorithm, as well as the data redundancy and security control. Our Simulation demonstrates that the ED-HEED algorithm can reduce the energy consumption, prolong the network life and keep the security and availability of the network compared with the HEED algorithm.展开更多

Unbalanced energy consumption is an inherent problem in WSNs, characterized by multi-hop routing and a many-to-one traffic pattern. This uneven energy dissipation can significantly reduce network lifetime. In multi-hop sensor networks, information obtained by the monitoring nodes need to be routed to the sinks, the energy consumption rate per unit information transmission depends on the choice of the next hop node. In an energy-aware routing approach, most proposed algorithms aim at minimizing the total energy consumption or maximizing network lifetime. In this paper, we propose a novel energy aware hierarchical cluster-based(NEAHC) routing protocol with two goals: minimizing the total energy consumption and ensuring fairness of energy consumption between nodes. We model the relay node choosing problem as a nonlinear programming problem and use the property of convex function to find the optimal solution. We also evaluate the proposed algorithm via simulations at the end of this paper.展开更多

The algorithm puts forward a threshold sensitive resurrection mechanism, reviving the node when harvesting energy reaches the set soft or hard energy threshold. Meanwhile, combined with current energy harvesting level, cluster head node can decide whether to reappoint the cluster head in the next round. What's more, CRBS optimizes the cluster head election threshold to limit the incompetent node in election. Combined with the solar energy harvesting simulation, the results show that CRBS algorithm can better keep the default cluster head proportion, and outperforms energy balanced clustering with self-energization(EBCS) algorithm in terms of surviving nodes number and the success ratio of data transmission展开更多

Industry 4.0 is a concept which concentrates on mobility andreal-time integration. Thus, it can be considered as a necessary component thathas to be implemented for a dynamic vehicle routing problem. The aim of thisresearch is to solve large-scale DVRP (LSDVRP) in which the delivery vehiclesmust serve customer demands from a common depot to minimize transit costswhile not exceeding the capacity constraint of each vehicle. In LSDVRP, it isdifficult to get an exact solution and the computational time complexity growsexponentially. To find near-optimal answers for this problem, a hierarchicalapproach consisting of three stages: “clustering, route-construction, routeimprovement”is proposed. The major contribution of this paper is dealing withLSDVRP to propose the three-stage algorithm with better results. The resultsconfirmed that the proposed methodology is applicable.展开更多

Employing clustering techniques in such networks can achieve balanced energy consumption of member nodes and prolong the network lifetimes.In classical clustering techniques, clustering and in-cluster data routes are usually separated into independent operations. Although separate considerations of these two issues simplify the system design, it is often the non-optimal lifetime expectancy for wireless sensor networks. This paper proposes an integral framework that integrates these two correlated items in an interactive entirety. For that,we develop the clustering problems using nonlinear programming. Evolution process of clustering is provided in simulations. Results show that our joint-design proposal reaches the near optimal match between member nodes and cluster heads.展开更多

In modern cities, GPS-equipped taxicabs report their locations regularly, which generates a huge volume of trajectory data every day. The optimized routes can be learned by mining these massive repositories of spatio-temporal information. We propose a system that can store and manage GPS log files in a cloud-based platform, probe traffic conditions, take advantage of taxi driver route-selection intelligence, and recommend an optimal path or multiple candidates to meet customized requirements. Specifically, we leverage a Hadoop-based distributed route clustering algorithm to distinguish different routes and predict traffic conditions through the latent traffic rhythm. We evaluate our system using a real-world dataset(〉100 GB) generated by about 20 000 taxis over a 2-month period in Shenzhen, China. Our experiments reveal that our service can provide appropriate routes in real time and estimate traffic conditions accurately.展开更多
