Optimal Cluster Association in Two-Tiered Wireless Sensor Networks

Overview This paper studies the two-tiered Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) architecture and proposes the optimal cluster association algorithm for it to maximize the overall network lifetime. A two-tiered WSN is formed by number of small Sensor Nodes (SNs), powerful Application Nodes (ANs), and Base-Stations (BSs, or gateways). SNs capture, encode, and transmit relevant information to ANs, which then send the combined information to BSs. Assuming the locations of the SNs, ANs, and BSs are fixed, the paper considers how to associate the SNs to ANs such that the network lifetime is maximized while every node meets its bandwidth requirement.

IBM to sell supercomputing server

And those 12 computing nodes consume up to 41.6kW. IBM sells its own switch to link computers into a high-performance computing cluster. That means more high-speed cache memory and communication bandwidth is available for that core.

Is this the malware mother of all botnets?

It has a very high number of distributed nodes, so it can scale faster and a lot larger than any super computer. Paul Ducklin, head of technology at Sophos said a supercomputer differs drastically due to how CPU nodes are interconnected and the...

ISPs face fresh threat from file-sharing laws

An ISPA spokesman said: "It is ISPA's preference to agree a non-legislative solution which carefully considers the complex legal framework - as recognised by the Culture Secretary - in which ISPs operate.

Training-starved teachers confused about IT

However bandwidth provision is still likely to lag behind demand, with the report stating that the optimal level to provide for all requirements for primary and secondary schools in 2009 will be 13.4Mbps and 55Mbps respectively.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
