For the redundancy coverage of nodes leads to the phenomenon of low energy efficiency,Non-cooperative game theory was used to solve it.A revenue function was proposed,which considering the coverage of nodes and the residual energy.The lifetime of the node and network path gain were applied to revenue function.The network topology was built by nodes with the appropriate work strategy.Control algorithm coverage in wireless sensor network was proposed based on Non-cooperative game theory.A Nash equilibrium between the coverage rate and the residual energy was proved,and the return function converged to the Pareto optimal.Experiments show that the algorithm can provide reasonable coverage of network nodes and ensure energy efficiency.     

A cross-layer design: energy efficient multilevel dynamic feedback scheduling in wireless sensor networks using deadline aware active time quantum for environmental monitoring

Recently, Packet scheduling plays a vital role in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The major key challenges include delay, packet dropping, energy consumption and lifetime due to constraints in energy and computing resources. All the research works on packet scheduling scheme in WSN uses only First Come First Served (FCFS) and Dynamic Multilevel Priority (DMP) schemes. FCFS works based on packet arrival time, it leads to starvation and high processing overhead for real-time packets. DMP works in multilevel with dynamic priority reduces the transmission overhead and bandwidth; it consumes more resources for real-time task leads to deadlock. To solve these problems, this work presents Multilevel Dynamic Feedback Scheduling (MDFS) algorithm. The sensor node classifies the emergency and normal data into three different ready queues named as high, medium and low priority, respectively. The queues are connected with a feedback mechanism; each packet from the sensor node has its own time quantum value based on the deadline. The updated time quantum value is compared with the boundary value of the queues, depends on the updated value the data packets are moved between queues with help of feedback mechanism. The simulation result proves that the projected MDFS outperforms in WSN environment.     

Stretchable Composite Acoustic Transducer for Wearable Monitoring of Vital Signs

A highly flexible, stretchable, and mechanically robust low‐cost soft composite consisting of silicone polymers and water (or hydrogels) is reported. When combined with conventional acoustic transducers, the materials reported enable high performance real‐time monitoring of heart and respiratory patterns over layers of clothing (or furry skin of animals) without the need for direct contact with the skin. The approach enables an entirely new method of fabrication that involves encapsulation of water and hydrogels with silicones and exploits the ability of sound waves to travel through the body. The system proposed outperforms commercial, metal‐based stethoscopes for the auscultation of the heart when worn over clothing and is less susceptible to motion artefacts. The system both with human and furry animal subjects (i.e., dogs), primarily focusing on monitoring the heart, is tested; however, initial results on monitoring breathing are also presented. This work is especially important because it is the first demonstration of a stretchable sensor that is suitable for use with furry animals and does not require shaving of the animal for data acquisition.     

固体核磁共振结合密度泛函理论计算研究SSZ-39分子筛的钠离子落位与铝分布

具有AEI结构的SSZ-39分子筛的骨架外阳离子落位和铝分布对其催化性能影响显著.AEI笼中有三个结晶学不等价位，且铝取代T位具有一定的倾向性.本文结合固体核磁共振（NMR）技术（²⁷Al/²³Na MQ MAS NMR），以及密度泛函理论（DFT）计算，研究了不同硅铝比Na-SSZ-39分子筛中的Na⁺落位和铝分布.在孤立铝分布的情况下，铝原子优先占据于T3位，Na⁺主要落位于AEI笼中的SIIa0和SIII'a0位点上，其中SIII'a0位点的优先度较高，此外少部分Na⁺还落位于六棱柱内部的SIa0.当铝对存在时，AlSiSiAl分布的铝对占据六元环的对位（T3-T3），对应的Na⁺分别落位于SIIa1和SⅢ'a1位点.随着分子筛结构的部分破坏，游离的Na⁺可能形成明显的SIII'b位点.本文可加深对SSZ-39分子筛构效关系的理解，为更好地调控催化性能奠定基础.     

Performance analysis of large-scale MIMO system for wireless backhaul network

In this paper, we present a performance analysis of large-scale multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems for wireless backhaul networks. We focus on fully connected N nodes in a wireless meshed and multi-hop network topology. We also consider a large number of antennas at both the receiver and transmitter. We investigate the transmission schemes to support fully connected N nodes for half-duplex and full-duplex transmission, analyze the achievable ergodic sum rate among N nodes, and propose a closed-form expression of the achievable ergodic sum rate for each scheme. Furthermore, we present numerical evaluation results and compare the resuts with closed-form expressions.     

铈含量对CeUSY分子筛抗镍性能的影响及机理研究

采用液相离子交换法制备了不同Ce含量的CeUSY分子筛,并通过Mitchell等体积浸渍法对其进行Ni污染,运用ICP-AES、XRD和N₂吸附等温线等方法对其织构性质进行表征,并利用微反应活性评价装置考察了其抗镍性能。结果表明,不同Ce含量改性的USY样品其抗镍效果存在差异,CeUSY分子筛的抗镍效果与Ce含量的关系呈现火山型变化。结合Ni污染前后CeUSY分子筛的H₂-TPR和Py-FTIR表征结果探讨了Ce物种的抗镍机制,证实了Ce物种形态的变化是不同Ce含量的CeUSY分子筛具有不同抗镍效果的重要成因,其中,SOD笼中的Ce（OH）²⁺在高温条件下可与Ni（OH）⁺相互作用,脱去一分子H₂O形成Ce³⁺-O-Ni²⁺的稳定结构,阻碍了Ni物种与骨架铝的结合导致CeUSY分子筛中B酸中心的破坏,同时有效抑制了易还原NiO物种的生成。而Ce含量过高使得SOD笼内的Ce物种变成二聚以及三聚物,与Ni（OH）⁺作用减弱,使其抗镍性能减弱。

Design of a lightweight and anonymous authenticated key agreement protocol for wireless body area networks

Wireless body area networks (WBANs) are a network designed to gather critical information about the physical conditions of patients and to exchange this information. WBANs are prone to attacks, more than other networks, because of their mobility and the public channel they use. Therefore, mutual authentication and privacy protection are critical for WBANs to prevent attackers from accessing confidential information of patients and executing undetectable physical attacks. In addition, in the authentication and key agreement process, messages should be transferred anonymously such that they are not linkable. In this paper, we first indicate that one of the most recently introduced authentication protocol is vulnerable to the wrong session key agreement attack and desynchronization attack. Second, we propose a lightweight authentication and key agreement protocol, which can withstand the well‐known attacks and provide the anonymity feature. Eventually, we analyze the security of our proposed protocol using both Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) and random oracle model and compare its performance with the related works. The results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed protocol in comparison with the other protocols.     

An efficient weighted trust‐based malicious node detection scheme for wireless sensor networks

The aim of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is to gather sensor data from a monitored environment. However, the collected or reported information might be falsified by faults or malicious nodes. Hence, identifying malicious nodes in an effective and timely manner is essential for the network to function properly and reliably. Maliciously behaving nodes are usually detected and isolated by reputation and trust‐based schemes before they can damage the network. In this paper, we propose an efficient weighted trust‐based malicious node detection (WT‐MND) scheme that can detect malicious nodes in a clustered WSN. The node behaviors are realistically treated by accounting for false‐positive and false‐negative instances. The simulation results confirm the timely identification and isolation of maliciously behaving nodes by the WT‐MND scheme. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is afforded by the adaptive trust‐update process, which implicitly performs trust recovery of temporarily malfunctioning nodes and computes a different trust‐update factor for each node depending on its behavior. The proposed scheme is more effective and scalable than the related schemes in the literature, as evidenced by its higher detection ratio (DR) and lower misdetection ratio (MDR), which only slightly vary with the network's size. Moreover, the scheme sustains its efficient characteristics without significant power consumption overheads.     

Performance improvement of 60‐GHz wireless optical systems with reverse‐parallel hybrid modulation scheme

This paper improves the performance of 60‐GHz wireless optical system including radio over fibre (RoF) and radio over free space optics (RoFSO), based on novel reverse‐parallel (RP) hybrid modulation scheme. This scheme combines the chromatic dispersion compensation technique of parallel modulation with energy efficiency manipulation technique of reverse modulation. Superior functioning of RoFSO is provided with reverse modulation compared with normal modulation. Comparative investigations are performed by loading 60‐GHz RF signal with 2.5 and 10‐Gbps data and modulating it with both reverse and hybrid modulators. Hybrid modulation performed better with improved BER of 10^?23 at distance of 51 km for 2.5‐Gbps data compared with reverse modulation with BER of 10^?7.
