In wireless sensor networks, sensor nodes may fail due to energy depletion or physical damage. To recover the data of a failed node, we propose a fault recovery scheme which enables the remaining alive sensor nodes to use the redundant information with regard to the failed node to fulfill the...

The statistical properties of training, validation and test data play an important role in assuring optimal performance in artificial neural networks (ANN). Re-searchers have proposed randomized data partitioning (RDP) and stratified data partitioning (SDP) methods for partition of input data...

Many applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) require the sensor nodes of a network to belong to different priority classes where the nodes of a higher priority class enjoy higher data rates than nodes of a lower priority class. Practical design of such networks, however, faces challenges...

Detection Performance of Wireless Sensor Networks with Multiple Antennas in Fading Channels
Download2014-02-17
The problem of distributed detection and decision fusion in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is revisited. The detection performance of a WSN is inherently limited by the wireless propagation environment. The fusion of decisions forwarded by each sensor is subject to Nakagami-m fading which can...

In distributed sensing systems, measurements from a random process or parameter are usually not available in one place. Also, the processing resources are distributed over the network. This distributed characteristic of such sensing systems demands for special attention when an estimation or...

Evaluating Track Stiffness and Rail Bending Moments using Vertical Track Deflection Measurements Considering the Effects of Track Geometry
DownloadFall 2020
Vertical track stiffness (or track modulus) is generally accepted as one of the key structural properties of track which impacts the bearing capacity, dynamic response of passing trains, quality of track geometry, and track components’ life. Although it is known that track stiffness parameters...
