Fuzzy logic and image compression based energy efficient application layer algorithm for wireless multimedia sensor networks

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are the networks that can realize data processing and computation skills of sensor nodes over the wireless channel and they have several communication devices. Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN) are the networks composed of low-cost sensor nodes that transmit realtime multimedia data like voice, image, and video to each other and to sink. WMSN needs more energy and bandwidth than WSN since they transmit a larger amount of data. The size of the data transmitted by the sensor nodes to each other or the sink becomes an important factor in their energy consumption. Energy consumption is a fundamental issue for WMSN. Other issues that affect the progress of WMSN are limited bandwidth and memory constraints. In these networks, for which the node battery lives are important sources, the limited sources must be effectively used by decreasing the transmitted data amount by removing the redundant data after proper processing of the environmental data. A new algorithm is developed to minimize the energy consumption during image data transmission between sensor nodes on WMSN, and so, make the nodes use their most important source, battery life effectively in this study. This algorithm is named as Energy-aware Application Layer Algorithm based on Image Compression (EALAIC). This algorithm makes use of the top three image compression algorithms for WMSN and decides instantly to which one is the most efficient based on three parameters: the distance between the nodes, total node number, and data transmission frequency. In this way, the sensor node battery lives are used efficiently. The performance analysis of the developed algorithm is also done via Network Simulator ? 2 (NS ? 2) and it is compared by the existing algorithms in terms of energy rate (consumed energy/total energy) and PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio).

The dynamic two-echelon MSW disposal system study under uncertainty in smart city

“…So, in this section, MSW and residues allocation are all considered into the MSW disposal system. Since the MSW generation is uncertain and dynamic, in this paper, the uncertain data or the missing data will be described by grey number and fuzzy number [22,23], and three periods will be considered. So, a dynamic two-echelon MSW optimal allocation model under uncertainty will be established.…”

Optimization of intelligent heating ventilation air conditioning system in urban building based on BIM and artificial intelligence technology

“…In the design of HVAC system, parameters such as indoor and outdoor wind environment and sunshine environment should be considered to optimize the design of building HVAC system. During the design process, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is also used to calculate the discrete distribution of the fluid flow field in the region and to simulate the fluid flow [26].…”
