Energy, Traffic Load, and Link Quality Aware Ad Hoc Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network Based Smart Metering Infrastructure by Hasan Farooq, Low Tang Jung

“…In this paper, a novel WSN ad hoc routing protocol ETL-AODV is proposed for reliable and energy efficient communication of smart metering nodes. Three simulation based case studies are conducted to analyze the performance of the proposed protocol, and relative comparison is provided based on four metrics: (i) packet delivery ratio (PDR), (ii) normalized routing load (NRL) (iii) average energy consumption and (iv) average end-to-end delay.…”

Lithium-Ion Battery State of Health Degradation Prediction Using Deep Learning Approaches by Talal Alharbi, Muhammad Umair, Abdulelah Alharbi

“…Traditional centralized deep learning models have shown promising results, but they raise concerns related to data privacy, as data needed to be collected and trained on a single node. This study addresses this challenge by utilizing both centralized (i.e., deep learning) and decentralized (i.e., federated learning) approaches for SoH prediction. …”
