Improved algorithm for distributed localization in wireless sensor networks

Many sensor network applications require location awareness,but it is often too expensive to equip a global positioning system(GPS) receiver for each network node.Hence,localization schemes for sensor networks typically use a small number of seed nodes that know their locations and protocols whereby other nodes estimate their locations from the messages they receive.For the inherent shortcomings of general particle filter(the sequential Monte Carlo method) this paper introduces particle swarm optimization a...     

In-home power line communication media access control protocol based on collision resolution

Most existing media access control (MAC) protocols in power line communication (PLC) networks just discard the colliding data packets when collision occurs. The collision deteriorates throughput and delay performance of system under high traffic conditions. This article presents a novel media access scheme with fast collision resolution for in-home power line networks. It works by first recognizing the colliding stations through detecting the inserted unique ID sequence ahead of data packets, then the source nodes retransmitting their packets immediately after the collision slot. The proposed protocol maintains the benefits of ALOHA systems. It needs no scheduling overhead and is suitable for bursty sources, such as multimedia data packets. Computer simulations have demonstrated that this approach can achieve high throughput due to its ability of resolving collisions.     

Automatic software install/update for embedded Linux

Linux has a special feature of automount in the Linux kernel. Filesystem can be mounted and unmounted automatically. Its performance is similar to MS Windows. It works well under demands of more saving resources and automatization, like memory of system. An approach to install/update software automatically on embedded platform was proposed. This approach derives from above feature based on embedded environment with Linux OS. Configurations of files related to this feature were introduced. An example in practice was given to realize this approach from universal serial bus （USB） memory disk when USB disk is available.
