As a potential way to dramatically save energy and live in a green planet, the Internet of Things (IoT) aims to utilize energy-efficient enabling technologies such as the RFID systems in our daily life applications. In this paper, we consider RFID reader scheduling problem which is NP hard. We propose a localized reader scheduling algorithms for RFID networks. We consider readers with limited amounts of energy, powered by a battery. Using only local information, the readers schedule themselves to minimize energy usage and maximize network lifetime. We compare the performance of our localized algorithms to a centralized heuristic based on a set cover approximation solution and show that the localized algorithms obtain equal or better performance in comparison to the centralized solution.

Wireless sensor networks are application-specific networks that necessitate the development of specific network and information processing architectures that can meet the requirements of the applications involved. The most important challenge related to wireless sensor networks is the limited energy and computational resources of the battery powered sensor nodes. Although the central processing of information produces the most accurate results, it is not an energy-efficient method because it requires a cont...

Mobile Couriers' selection for the Smart-grid in Smart-cities' Pervasive Sensing
Al-Turjman, Fadi (2018-05-01)
The explosion of wireless devices has given rise to numerous data-sharing applications in smart-cities' Pervasive Sensing (PS) paradigms. This vision has been further expanded in the Internet of Things (IoT) era to embrace multipurpose resources within a smart city setup such as public sensors on roads/vehicles, cameras, RFID tags, and readers. The realization of such a prophecy is significantly challenged in terms of connectivity disruption, resource management, and data gathering under mobile conditions. ...
