Abstract-The metrology field has been progressed with the appearance of the wireless intelligent sensor systems providing more capabilities such as signal processing, remote multisensing fusion etc. This kind of devices is rapidly making their way into medical and industrial monitoring, collision avoidance, traffic control, automotive and others applications. However, numerous design challenges for wireless intelligent sensors systems are imposed to overcome the physical limitations in data traffic, such as system noise, real time communication, signal attenuation, response dynamics, power consumption, and effective conversion rates etc, especially for applications requiring specific performances. This paper analyzes the performance metrics of the mentioned sensing devices systems which stands for superior measurement, more accuracy and reliability. Study findings prescribe researchers, developers/ engineers and users to realizing an optimal sensing motes design strategy that offers operational advantages which can offer cost-effective solutions for an application.

Abstract. This paper proposes and evaluates a set of physical level assisted cross-layer channel assignment schemes. These schemes allocate an incoming call the available channel that experienced the best channel quality conditions during previous transmissions. To estimate such conditions, three different link quality metrics have been considered. The performance of the proposed schemes has been compared to that of the commonly employed random allocation mechanism. The obtained results show that the proposed schemes improve the system performance of an adaptive packet-switched mobile radio system while also exhibiting the long-term channel uniform use characteristic of the random allocation mechanism. The higher performance attained with the proposed schemes is due to their short-term channel use pattern that results in an implicit cooperation among co-channel interfering cells during the channel allocation process. With the proposed schemes, interfering cells avoid assigning the same channels to simultaneous incoming calls, therefore reducing the experienced interference and increasing the system performance.

“…Both [1] and [2] dealt mainly with throughput, delay, and blocking of the reverse link under the assumption of Poisson arrivals of data packets to be transmitted. More recently, [3], [4], [5], [6] discuss GPRS performance. In [3], the primary interest is in the behavior of TCP over GPRS.…”

Abstract-We examine the traffic-handling capabilities of General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) with respect to supporting IP-based Internet services. We begin with an overview of GPRS in which we discuss its general characteristics, connection set-up procedures, and data transfer procedures, both for the reverse link and the forward link. We then present an analytical model to assess throughput of the reverse link as a function of the number of users connected and the distribution of user message lengths. Next, we investigate the capability of GPRS to support World Wide Web access using the analytical model. Specifically, we present a realistic scenario for user sessions operating under the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and we assess the transaction-handling capabilities as a function of the number of user sessions, taking into account network delays, forward link transmission, random access delay, and other factors. The results obtained by using the analytical model in both cases are verified by simulation. We also consider, via simulation, a scenario where both continuously backlogged users and users operating HTTP sessions are present. We find that, in the case of continuously backlogged users, an increase in the number of contention slots does not always translate to an increase in throughput, while, in the case of users operating HTTP sessions, the downlink serves as the main bottleneck in the system. We conclude with a discussion of some open issues in the design of GPRS-based Internet access.
