This survey investigates multipath routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The main objectives of multipath routing protocols are to provide reliable communication and to ensure load balancing as well as to improve quality of service (QoS) of MANETs. These multipath protocols are broadly classified into five categories based on their major goals. The goals are to improve delay, provide reliability, reduce overhead, maximize network life and support hybrid routing. Multipath routing protocols address issues such as multiple paths discovery and maintaining these paths. Issues, objectives, performances, advantages and disadvantages of these protocols are investigated and summarized. A checklist is provided as a guideline so that a network designer can choose an appropriate multipath routing protocol to meet the network's application objectives. 相似文献
The need for suitable and cost-effective technologies rise with the growth of the internet of things (IoT) applications. These aim at handling voluminous data transmission in addition to minimum energy and latency cost constraints. LoRa networks are recommended for applications in confined spaces, long ranges, and less battery consumption requirements. However, the end devices in these networks communicate to all gateways in their ranges, thereby expediting energy unproductively in redundant transmissions. In our article, we explore the possibilities of whether LoRa networks could employ the advantages of clustering and propose two algorithms, path-based and data-centric, for such networks. We suggest that LoRaWAN technology with clustering can be apt for long-range, low power consumption IoT applications in the future. We study the impact of network density, node range, and cluster range on the energy consumption in data transmissions. The algorithms are compared with the inherent star-based communication of LoRa networks based on energy consumed, and our results show that, for dense deployments, clustering becomes advantageous.
Recently, many regression models have been presented for prediction of mechanical parameters of rocks regarding to rock index properties. Although statistical analysis is a common method for developing regression models, but still selection of suitable transformation of the independent variables in a regression model is difficult. In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA) has been employed as a heuristic search method for selection of best transformation of the independent variables (some index properties of rocks) in regression models for prediction of uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and modulus of elasticity (E). Firstly, multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis was performed on a data set to establish predictive models. Then, two GA models were developed in which root mean squared error (RMSE) was defined as fitness function. Results have shown that GA models are more precise than MLR models and are able to explain the relation between the intrinsic strength/elasticity properties and index properties of rocks by simple formulation and accepted accuracy. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThis paper presents the state of the art relating to multi-objective modelling for day ahead scheduling of multi micro grid-based distribution networks, using optimal power flow (OPF) accompanied by data envelopment analysis (DEA). In this paper eco-reliability cost function, power quality enhancement and emission reduction are treated as the objective functions and the uncertainties of renewable distributed generations (DGs), load demand and market price are incorporated into the problem. This method is able to find the optimum operation of DGs in grid-connected or isolated MGs, power transaction between each MG and upstream networks/other MGs and hourly reconfiguration instants. For this purpose, firstly OPF is applied to the problem, then the obtained optimal solutions are prioritised by DEA and ranking is done, based on the efficiencies of the optimal solutions. Finally, the provided results validate the practicability of the proposed method and accuracy of the outcomes. 相似文献
A green and efficient dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method based on a new deep eutectic solvent has been developed for the preconcentration and extraction of cobalt and nickel ions. The deep eutectic solvent is formed by mixing choline chloride (hydrogen bond acceptor) and 4-aminophenol (hydrogen bond donor). Then, it is used as a chelating agent as well as extraction solvent. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the linear ranges for Ni(II) and Co(II) were 0.80–50 and 0.50–50 µgL?1, respectively, by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The obtained detection limits were 0.30 and 0.22 µg L?1 for Ni(II) and Co(II), respectively. 相似文献
