Routing protocols play a pivotal role in the energy management and lifespan of any Wireless Sensor Network. Lower network lifetime has been one of the biggest concerns in LEACH protocol due to dead nodes. The LEACH protocol suffers from uneven energy distribution problem due to random selection of a cluster head. The cluster head has much greater responsibility compared to other non- cluster head nodes and consumes greater energy for its roles. This results in early dead nodes due to energy lost for the role of cluster- head. This study proposes an approach to balance the energy consumption of the LEACH protocol by using a semi-deterministic opportunity coefficient to select the cluster head. This is calculated in each node with the battery energy level and node ID. Ultimately, based on the opportunity cost, cluster head will be selected and broadcasted for which other nodes with higher opportunity cost will agree. It minimizes the chances of nodes with lower battery level being elected as cluster head. Our simulation experiments demonstrate that cluster heads chosen using our proposed algorithm perform better than those using the legacy LEACH protocol.

본 논문에서는 유체 시뮬레이션(Fluid simulation)중 화염에서 표현되는 불똥 입자(Fire-flake particle)의 생성, 움직임과 삭제를 효율적으로 학습하고 표현할 수 있는 인공지능 기법에 대해 소개한다. 유체 시뮬레이션을 계산하기 위해서는 일반적으로 수치해석학과 같은 학문의 이해가 필요하며 불똥이나 거품과 같은 유체의 2차 효과(Secondary effect)는 기반유체(Underlying fluids)를 통해 추출되기 때문에 복잡하고 계산양이 많아진다. 이러한 문제를 완화하고자 본 논문에서는 인공신경망을 이용한 분류 모델 학습을 통해 격자 내에서 표현되어야 하는 불똥 입자의 생성을 학습하고, 다항 회귀 모델 학습을 통해 불똥 입자의 움직임을 예측한다. 또한, 불똥 입자가 삭제되어야하는 상태를 네트워크 학습을 통해 얻어내며, 수명(Lifespan) 임계값 조절하여 다양한 장면에서 불똥을 제어할 수 있다. 결과적으로 화염의 움직임을 기반으로 불똥의 움직임을 복잡한 수학식이나 디자이너에게 의존하지 않고 인공지능 학습을 통해 쉽게 제어하고 예측하는 결과를 보여준다.

기존의 센서 네트워크 연구들은 센서 자체가 가지는 에너지 측면만 강조하였다. 그러나 실제 센서 네트워크를 구성하였을 경우 특정 센서의 많은 활용으로 인해 센서 네트워크의 부분 단절을 초래한다. 이는 결국 센서네트워크가 오랜 시간 효율적으로 운영되지 못하는 단점이 되어 오히려 특정 센서 에너지 효율성이 센서 네트워크의 효율성을 저하시키는 결과를 초래하였다. 센서 네트워크들이 클러스터로 구성되었거나 하나의 큰 네트워크로 구성되어 있는 경우에도 센서의 에너지 효율성을 강조하기 때문에 결국 센서 네트워크의 단절을 회피할 수 없다. 따라서 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 모든 센서들을 고루 사용함으로써 센서 네트워크의 센서들이 단절을 회피하도록 하여 센서 네트워크의 수명을 연장할 수 있도록 한다. 본 논문은 유비쿼터스 환경에서 센서네트워크를 구성하는 프로토콜로 구성된 센서 네트워크의 에너지를 효율적으로 관리하여 센서 네트워크의 단절을 방지함으로써 구성된 센서 네트워크가 오랜 시간 유지되는 프로토콜을 제안한다.

In edge computing scenarios, IoT end devices play a crucial role in relaying and forwarding data to significantly improve IoT network performance. However, traditional routing mechanisms are not applicable to this scenario due to differences in network size and environment. Therefore, it becomes crucial to establish an effective and reliable data transmission path to ensure secure communication between devices. In this paper, we propose a trusted path selection strategy that comprehensively considers multiple attributes, such as link stability and edge cooperation, and selects a stable and secure data transmission path based on the link life cycle, energy level, trust level, and authentication status. In addition, we propose the Stability-based On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (STAOMDV) protocol based on the Ad hoc AOMDV protocol. The STAOMDV protocol implements the collection and updating of link stability attributes during the route discovery and maintenance process. By integrating the STAOMDV protocol with the proposed path selection strategy, a dependable and efficient routing mechanism is established for IoT networks in edge computing scenarios. Simulation results validate that the proposed STAOMDV model achieves a balance in network energy consumption and extends the overall network lifespan.

Recently, sink mobility has been shown to be highly beneficial in improving network lifetime in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Numerous studies have exploited mobile sinks (MSs) to collect sensed data in order to improve energy efficiency and reduce WSN operational costs. However, there have been few studies on the effectiveness of MS operation on WSN closed operating cycles. Therefore, it is important to investigate how data is collected and how to plan the trajectory of the MS in order to gather data in time, reduce energy consumption, and improve WSN network lifetime. In this study, we combine two methods, the cluster-head election algorithm and the MS trajectory optimization algorithm, to propose the optimal MS movement strategy. This study aims to provide a closed operating cycle for WSNs, by which the energy consumption and running time of a WSN is minimized during the cluster election and data gathering periods. Furthermore, our flexible MS movement scenarios achieve both a long network lifetime and an optimal MS schedule. The simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm achieves better performance than other well-known algorithms.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the genetic structure and characteristics of the Angus cattle population in Hungary. The survey was performed with the assistance of the Hungarian Hereford, Angus, Galloway Association (HHAGA). Methods: Genetic parameters of 1,369 animals from 16 Angus herds were analyzed using the genotyping results of 12 microsatellite markers with the aid of PowerMarker, Genalex, GDA-NT2021, and STRUCTURE software. Genotyping of DNA was performed using an automated genetic analyzer. Based on pairwise identity by state values of animals, the Python networkx 2.3 library was used for network analysis of the breed and to identify the central animals. Results: The observed numbers of alleles on the 12 loci under investigation ranged from 11 to 18. The average effective number of alleles was 3.201. The overall expected heterozygosity was 0.659 and the observed heterozygosity was 0.710. Four groups were detected among the 16 Angus herds. The breeders' information validated the grouping results and facilitated the comparison of birth weight, age at first calving, number of calves born and productive lifespan data between the four groups, revealing significant differences. We identified the central animals/herd of the Angus population in Hungary. The match of our group descriptions with the phenotypic data provided by the breeders further underscores the value of cooperation between breeders and researchers. Conclusion: The observation that significant differences in the measured traits occurred among the identified groups paves the way to further enhancement of breeding efficiency. Our findings have the potential to aid the development of new breeding strategies and help breeders keep the Angus populations in Hungary under genetic supervision. Based on our results the efficient use of an upcoming genomic selection can, in some cases, significantly improve birth weight, age at first calving, number of calves born and the productive lifespan of animals.

국내 전력계통의 주파수 조정용 발전기로 사용되고 있는 가스터빈은 탄소중립 정책과 더불어 신속한 기동·정지 및 높은 열효율 등으로 인해 이용률이 증가하고 있다. 가스터빈은 고온의 화염을 이용하여 터빈을 회전시키기 때문에 터빈 입구온도가 기기의 성능과 수명을 좌우하는 핵심요소로 작용하고 있다. 하지만 입구온도는 직접적인 측정이 불가능함에 따라 제작사가 산출한 온도를 이용하거나, 현장 경험을 토대로 하여 예측된 온도를 적용하고 있어서 가스터빈의 안정적인 운전 및 유지관리에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인공신경망에서 많이 사용되고 있는 DNN(: Deep Neural Network) 기반으로 하는 재열 가스터빈의 입구온도를 예측할 수 있는 모델을 제시하고 실측 데이터를 기반으로 제안된 DNN의 성능을 검증하고자 한다.

To assist in data collection, the use of a mobile sink has been widely suggested in the literature. Due to the limited sensor node's storage capacity, this manner to collect data induces huge latencies and drop packets. Their buffers will be overloaded and lead to network congestion. Recently, a new bio-inspired optimization algorithm appeared. Researchers were inspired by the swarming mechanism of salps and thus creating what is called the Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA). This paper improves the sink mobility to enhance energy dissipation, throughput, and convergence speed by imitating the salp's movement. The new approach, named the Mobile Sink based on Modified Salp Swarm Algorithm (MSSA), is approved in a heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) data collection. The performance of the MSSA protocol is assessed using several iterations. Results demonstrate that our proposal surpass other literature algorithms in terms of lifespan and throughput.

In this paper, we extended a hierarchical clustering technique, which is the most researched in the sensor network field, and studied a dynamic differential clustering technique to minimize energy consumption and ensure equal lifespan of all sensor nodes while considering the mobility of sinks. In a sensor network environment with mobile sinks, clusters close to the sinks tend to consume more forwarding energy. Therefore, clustering that considers forwarding energy consumption is desired. Since all clusters form a hierarchical tree, the number of levels of the tree must be considered based on the size of the cluster so that the cluster size is not growing abnormally, and the energy consumption is not concentrated within specific clusters. To verify that the proposed DDC protocol satisfies these requirements, a simulation using Matlab was performed. The FND (First Node Dead), LND (Last Node Dead), and residual energy characteristics of the proposed DDC protocol were compared with the popular clustering protocols such as LEACH and EEUC. As a result, it was shown that FND appears the latest and the point at which the dead node count increases is delayed in the DDC protocol. The proposed DDC protocol presents 66.3% improvement in FND and 13.8% improvement in LND compared to LEACH protocol. Furthermore, FND improved 79.9%, but LND declined 33.2% when compared to the EEUC. This verifies that the proposed DDC protocol can last for longer time with more number of surviving nodes.
