This paper considers the problem of quantization schemes for source localization in wireless sensor networks. First, a channel-aware adaptive quantization scheme for target location estimation is proposed and local sensor nodes dynamically adjust their quantization thresholds according to a kind of position-based information sequences. The scheme incorporates the statistics of imperfect wireless channels between sensors and the fusion center. Furthermore, the appropriate maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and the performance metric Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) are derived. Simulation results are presented to show that the appropriated CRLB is less than the fixed-quantization channel-aware CRLB and the proposed MLE will approach its CRLB when the number of sensors is large enough.

Robust, inexpensive, non-conductive material that can survive launch and reentry environments is needed to support the Orion antenna suite. The boost protective cover (BPC) is not optimal for RF performance, but reasonable criteria for utilizing BPC as a material are established to perform expeditious flight qualification. This paper outlines the results of this investigation. Although BPC has a moderate dielectric (<; 2) and mediocre loss tangent (~0.05), as a radome it should not be operated near an electrically resonant antenna or as a transmission media. Since BPC has a strongly anisotropic construction of significant wavelength thickness, determining a configuration that will give acceptable performance from 0.02 to 0.25 wavelength depth was evaluated. This paper summarizes the results of tests to assess the impacts of placing the BPC in front of a planar antenna.

Satellite networks pose challenging requirements on the MAC sub-layer to provide flexible, scalable and efficient cross-links between satellites' communication modules. A high throughput, robust and peer-to-peer MAC protocol is introduced to inexpensively address the challenging requirements of satellite networks. In a single-radio solution, the problem of providing high network capacity for nearby satellites while maintaining links with those that are 100s of Km away is not solved with existing MAC protocols. A dual-range, dual-mode MAC and a UWB PHY is proposed that proves to solve this problem easily while maintaining flexibility and scalability to be suitable to any satellite mission. A hybrid Frequency-time division multiple access gives the system the ability to reuse available RF spectrum efficiently for long-range, power-limited links.

In this paper, we propose a QoS optimized power control approach to achieve an optimum multimedia communication quality over the InterPlaNetary (IPN) Internet with a strict energy consumption budget. The transmission power to send each frame is optimized by jointly considering the unequal distortion reduction gain of the multimedia data, energy consumption budget, and overall multimedia communication quality. Simulation results show that the proposed Unequal Error Protection (UEP) adaptive power control approach improves multimedia data transmission quality and achieves the energy utilization efficiency in energy-constrained IPNs.

Future Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) will be composed of a large number of densely deployed sensors. A key feature of such networks is that their nodes are untethered and unattended. Distributed techniques are expected in WSNs. Computing Connected Dominating Sets (CDSs) have been widely used for virtual backbone construction in WSNs to control topology, facilitate routing, and extend network lifetime. This paper proposes a new distributed algorithm for CDS construction in WSNs. The algorithm is intended to construct a CDS with the smallest ratio when compared to its centralized version. Moreover, this paper proposes a localized algorithm that efficiently maintains the backbone when some backbone nodes decide to enter the energy saving sleep mode. We attempt to prolong the lifetime of the constructed CDS by allowing nodes with higher residual energy to have more chances to be part of the constructed and maintained backbone. Simulation shows that our distributed approach has a maximum ratio of 1.53 to the centralized approach, and it satisfies all of the geometrical properties of its canalized version. Based on this ratio, this distributed algorithm has an approximation factor of 7.65 to the optimal CDS. To the best of our knowledge, this approximation is the smallest among all existing distributed CDS construction algorithms.

Traditional underwater localization relies on line-of-sight (LOS) links to properly utilize ranging information. Unfortunately, the accuracy of the ranging techniques such as time of arrival (TOA), time difference of arrival (TDOA) and angle of arrival (AOA) can be significantly degraded by LOS instabilities in the underwater medium due to increased multipath effects. This paper proposes a novel underwater signal reflection-enabled acoustic-based localization scheme (UNREAL) that employs both LOS and surface-reflected non-line-of-sight (NLOS) ranging information to locate a node that has drifted away. The LOS and NLOS links are classified by incorporating a surface-based recovery mechanism, which recovers the channel impulse response information through homomorphic deconvolution. A closed-form least square method is developed to use such classification to locate the node by either using the LOS AOA measurements and/or the NLOS AOA from the estimated water surface reflection point. Every node in the network can be used as a reference point to locate the lost node when LOS AOAs are available. In this context, AOAs are a collection of elevation and azimuth angles for each reference nodes in the 3D underwater environment. Simulation results are carried out by using the projected view of a 3D camera unto the water tank to create a 3D underwater cubic environment used in validating the approach.

Leak detection and localization appears in many engineering applications such as aerospace and engineering industries. Existing approaches for leak detection and localization from surface borne ultrasonic signals are based on triangulation techniques [1], [2]. Ultrasonic signals are prone to reverberation and multipath effect since they are reflected from various surfaces of the structure. Reverberation and multipath generates multiple detections for each sensor. Therefore, the sensor measure signals with uncertain origin signals, where the conventional algorithms based on triangulation techniques can not be applied.

As the first step of the WSN protocol design, such as MAC layer and Network layer, in-depth investigation on link characteristics is very important. In the industrial environments, link reliability is vulnerable to various interferences. Therefore, many schemes have been employed for reliability improvements, e.g. frequency diversity, path diversity etc., which put forward the demand on link reliability model. However, there has been little work modeling the temporal and frequency variations of the link reliability. The contributions of this paper are modeling the link characteristics of IEEE802.15.4 radio transceiver on all 16 channels based on Packet Drop Rate (PDR) data sets collected in typical factories and a link layer reliability model (LLSM), which focuses on the quantitative relationships among link reliability, time and frequency. It is found that the PDR in a certain range follows logistic or log-logistic distribution, and the interval of two sequential failed in Packet Drop Sequence (PDS) follows log-normal distribution. The model is implemented as simulation framework component and used to evaluate the influence on frequency diversity design by the simulation of two proposals of IEEE 802.15.4e.
作为无线传感器网络MAC层和网络层等协议设计的第一步，对链路特性的深入研究是非常重要的。在工业环境中，链路的可靠性容易受到各种干扰。因此，人们采用了多种方案来提高可靠性，如频率分集、路径分集等，这就对链路可靠性模型提出了要求。然而，对链路可靠性的时间和频率变化进行建模的工作很少。本文的贡献是基于典型工厂的丢包率(Packet Drop Rate, PDR)数据集和链路层可靠性模型(link layer reliability model, LLSM)对IEEE802.15.4无线收发器在所有16个信道上的链路特性进行建模，该模型关注链路可靠性、时间和频率之间的定量关系。发现PDR在一定范围内服从logistic或log-logistic分布，PDS中两次连续失败的间隔服从对数正态分布。该模型作为仿真框架组件实现，并通过对IEEE 802.15.4e两种方案的仿真来评估其对频分集设计的影响。

Time synchronization is a fundamental problem in any distributed system. In particular, wireless sensor networks require scalable time synchronization for implementing distributed tasks on multiple sensor nodes. This paper proposes an energy efficient Coefficient Exchange Synchronization Protocol (CESP) based on a receiver-receiver synchronization scheme that minimizes the impact of access-time delays. Most of the existing synchronization protocols focus on improving the synchronization accuracy while neglecting energy consumption. The proposed time synchronization protocol achieves a synchronization accuracy as good as the classic Reference Broadcast Synchronization (RBS) protocol but resulting in a dramatic reduction on communication overhead to achieve a low energy consumption. CESP works in a fundamentally different way from RBS: in order to synchronize two receivers, RBS exchanges all beacon packets between the two receivers, while CESP receivers first process a large number of received beacon packets and only exchange the minimum amount of information between the two receivers, i.e., synchronization coefficients. The synchronization performance is evaluated and compared with that of other well-known synchronization protocols.

This paper proposes a plan for space solar power (SSP) project governance by US and foreign agencies and participation by industry, universities, and other non-governmental organizations. SSP research has typically focused on the technical aspects, rather than others that are equally important. NASA alone could never implement SSP, because it lacks the expertise required. This paper begins to bridge the gap between technical aspects and these other areas. I allocate SSP project governance among agencies with relevant experience and that are responsive to a successful clean power program, and I propose project management by an internationally-represented committee. A framework for interagency collaborations is outlined detailing the motivations for cooperation for each agency, company, university, or organization, and the issues associated with collaboration on interagency and international levels.
