Due to their economic potential and widespread application areas, wireless sensor networks have emerged as an active research topic during the last five years. One of the fundamental challenges in wireless sensor network research is the provision of sufficient coverage while maintaining energy efficiency and longevity under sensor mobility. The purpose of this thesis is to observe the coverage and energy consumption dynamics of a mobile wireless sensor network in a hierarchical architecture. To achieve this goal iv we implemented a simulation environment with flat and hierarchical topologies. Defining performance metrics and network parameters we performed simulations in MATLAB test-bed. With the help of results obtained from simulations and performance metrics̕ relation to networks parameters we investigated the effect of hierarchical organization on mobile wireless sensor network coverage.

Duty cycle control in wireless sensor networks
Yılmaz, Mine; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Recent advances in wireless communication and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) have led to the development of implementation of low-cost, low power, multifunctional sensor nodes. These sensor node are small in size and communicate untethered in short distances. The nodes in sensor networks have limited battery power and it is not feasible or possible to recharge or replace the batteries, therefore power consumption should be minimized so that overall network lifetime will be increased. In order to mi...
Safran: a distributed and parallel application development frameworks of hetereogeneous workstations
Gölyeri, Hamza; Bozyiğit, Müslim; Department of Computer Engineering (2005)
With the rapid advances in high-speed network technologies and steady decrease in the cost of hardware involved, network of workstation (NOW) environments began to attract attention as competitors against special purpose, high performance parallel processing environments. NOWs attract attention as parallel and distributed computing environments because they provide high scalability in terms of computing capacity and they have much smaller cost/performance ratios with high availability. However, they are har...
The performance and efficiency of envelope elimination and restoration transmitters for future multiple-input multiple-output wireless local area networks
Nesimoglu, T.; Parker, S. C. J.; Morris, K. A.; McGeehan, J. P. (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2008-03-01)
The inefficiency of contemporary power amplifiers ( PAs), when operating in their linear region, is a major obstacle to mobile operation of wireless local area networks ( WLANs) based on IEEE 802.11n. Therefore the use of more efficient envelope elimination and restoration ( EER) transmitter architectures is considered. In addition to high efficiency it is also necessary to satisfy the spectral mask and achieve satisfactory link- level performance. Link- level simulations of a contemporary WLAN PA show that...
An Investigation of Link Quality Assessment for Mobile Multi-hop and Multi-rate Wireless Networks
Zhou, Jinglong; Jacobsson, Martin; Onur, Ertan; Niemegeers, Ignas (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-07-01)
Wireless ad hoc networks will be an important component in future communication systems. The performance of wireless ad hoc networks can be improved by link quality-aware applications. Wireless link quality is dynamic in nature, especially in mobile scenarios. Therefore, accurate and fast packet delivery ratio estimation is a prerequisite to good performance in mobile, multi-hop and multi-rate wireless ad hoc networks. In this paper, we propose a novel packet delivery ratio estimation method that improves t...
A mathematical contribution of statistical learning and continuous optimization using infinite and semi-infinite programming to computational statistics
Özöğür-Akyüz, Süreyya; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Department of Scientific Computing (2009)
A subfield of artificial intelligence, machine learning (ML), is concerned with the development of algorithms that allow computers to “learn”. ML is the process of training a system with large number of examples, extracting rules and finding patterns in order to make predictions on new data points (examples). The most common machine learning schemes are supervised, semi-supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning. These schemes apply to natural language processing, search engines, medical diagnosis,...
