An Enhanced Tracking Algorithm for Distributed Encoding Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor Network by Fan Zhang, Zude Zhou, Wenjun Xu

“…In order to realize more accurate and comprehensive condition monitoring for the large mechanical equipment, an enhanced tracking algorithm for distributed encoding FBG sensor network is presented. The novel tracking algorithm uses three classes of progressive intelligent processing approaches, including the improved cycle matching method, the secondary filter intelligent disposal method, and the assistant decision processes method, to conquer the limitations of the traditional tracking algorithm in which the chaos and error results would be caused as the sensor information variations are overlapped. …”

Adjustable lifetime-prolonging structure for topology control in heterogeneous wireless sensor network by Xiao-hong LI, Jing-qiao GE, Da-fang ZHANG

“…The problem of topology control in a network of heterogeneous wireless devices with different maximum transmission ranges was considered.For most topology control structures,the energy model adopted is quite unrealistic,in which the reception energy is commonly neglected.Moreover,most existing approaches to topology control were mainly considered to preserve energy-efficient paths in the resulting topology structures which may not allow network to realize maximum potential lifetime.An adjustable lifetime-prolonging structure for heterogeneous wireless sensor network (ALPH) to control topology was presented.Different from the prior work,based on the more realistic energy model,preserving all the maximal lifetime paths in the resulting topology structures was considered.Properties of ALPH by proof or simulation shows:the topologies derived under ALPH preserve the network connectivity and bi-directionality; it preserves all maximal lifetime paths between any pair of nodes under different RF modules; it enables each node to adjust the topology independently between DRNG and the MaxPower graph via parameter <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <msub> <mi>P</mi> <mrow> <msub> <mi>R</mi> <mn>0</mn> </msub> </mrow> </msub> </math></inline-formula> and allows nodes to have different path loss exponents; compared with previous work of DRNG,DGG,EYG and the MaxPower graph based on the real device’s parameters,it can effectively prolong network lifetime.…”
