Packet size optimization, with the purpose of minimizing the wireless packet transmission energy consumption, is crucial for the energy efficiency of the Internet of Things nodes. Meanwhile, energy scavenging from ambient energy sources has gained a significant attraction to avoid battery issues as the number of nodes increasingly grows. Packet size optimization algorithms have so far been proposed for battery-powered networks that have limited total energy with continuous power availability to prolong their lifetime. On the other hand, batteryless networks based on energy harvesting offer unlimited total energy with the interruption in availability. This is due to changing ambient conditions or the required time for harvesting and storing in small capacitors. Packet size optimization of batteryless networks has not been addressed so far. In this paper, an AI-based packet size optimization algorithm is proposed for batteryless networks that consider the amount of harvested energy at each node. Therefore, packet size is optimized dynamically for each round of data transmission. The proposed method is then evaluated via numerical simulations for a heterogenous wireless body area sensor network as a case study, considering 1-hop, cooperative, and 2-hop communication networks. Cooperative topology yields optimum energy efficiency for highly dynamic sensors, such as ECG, while 2-hop has shown to be optimum for the same type of sensors in battery-powered networks. Also, for sensors with slower dynamics such as body temperature, 1-hop turns out to be optimum in networks solely dependent on energy scavenging while cooperative topology is optimum for battery-powered networks. The algorithm applies to any heterogeneous fully batteryless networks to dynamically optimize packet size at each transmission instance.

A Hopfield neural network with multi-compartmental activation Akhmet, Marat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-05-01) The Hopfield network is a form of recurrent artificial neural network. To satisfy demands of artificial neural networks and brain activity, the networks are needed to be modified in different ways. Accordingly, it is the first time that, in our paper, a Hopfield neural network with piecewise constant argument of generalized type and constant delay is considered. To insert both types of the arguments, a multi-compartmental activation function is utilized. For the analysis of the problem, we have applied the ...
Resampling approach for cluster model selection Volkovich, Z.; Barzily, Z.; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Toledano-Kitai, D.; Avros, R. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-10-01) In cluster analysis, selecting the number of clusters is an "ill-posed" problem of crucial importance. In this paper we propose a re-sampling method for assessing cluster stability. Our model suggests that samples' occurrences in clusters can be considered as realizations of the same random variable in the case of the "true" number of clusters. Thus, similarity between different cluster solutions is measured by means of compound and simple probability metrics. Compound criteria result in validation rules em...
Nuclear Fission-Nuclear Fusion algorithm for global optimization: a modified Big Bang-Big Crunch algorithm YALÇIN, YAĞIZER; Pekcan, Onur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-04-01) This study introduces a derivative of the well-known optimization algorithm, Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB-BC), named Nuclear Fission-Nuclear Fusion-based BB-BC, simply referred to as N2F. Broadly preferred in the engineering optimization community, BB-BC provides accurate solutions with reasonably fast convergence rates for many engineering problems. Regardless, the algorithm often suffers from stagnation issues. More specifically, for some problems, BB-BC either converges prematurely or exploits the promising r...
Adaptive mean-shift for automated multi object tracking Beyan, C.; Temizel, Alptekin (2012-01-01) Mean-shift tracking plays an important role in computer vision applications because of its robustness, ease of implementation and computational efficiency. In this study, a fully automatic multiple-object tracker based on mean-shift algorithm is presented. Foreground is extracted using a mixture of Gaussian followed by shadow and noise removal to initialise the object trackers and also used as a kernel mask to make the system more efficient by decreasing the search area and the number of iterations to conve...
A Two-Tier Distributed Fuzzy Logic Based Protocol for Efficient Data Aggregation in Multihop Wireless Sensor Networks SERT, SEYYİT ALPER; Alchihabi, Abdullah; Yazıcı, Adnan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-12-01) This study proposes a two-tier distributed fuzzy logic based protocol (TTDFP) to improve the efficiency of data aggregation operations in multihop wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Clustering is utilized for efficient aggregation requirements in terms of consumed energy. In a clustered network, member (leaf) nodes transmit obtained data to cluster-heads (CHs) and CHs relay received packets to the base station. In multihop wireless networks, this CH-generated transmission occurs over other CHs. Due to the ado...
