On Base Station Selection for Anycast Flow Routing in Energy-Constrained Wireless Sensor Networks

Overview Energy constraints have had a significant impact on the design and operation of wireless sensor networks. This paper investigates base station selection (or anycast) problem in wireless sensor networks. A wireless sensor network having multiple base stations (data sink nodes) is considered where each source node must send all its locally generated data to only one base station. To maximize the network lifetime, it is essential to optimally match each source node to a particular base station in addition to finding an optimal routing solution. The paper also proposes a polynomial time heuristic for optimal base station selection for anycast via a sequential fixing procedure, under the assumption that the bit rate from each source node is constant.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Trusting people and self-organisation

You can engineer mass transit between major/super nodes (cities), and between some minor nodes (districts and metro stations), but then you need total freedom of action to complete the journey. I’m standing on the gantry level at Liverpool Street...

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?
