The Use of Computational Geometry Techniques to Resolve the Issues of Coverage and Connectivity in Wireless Sensor Networks.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) enhance the ability to sense and control the physical environment in various applications. The functionality of WSNs depends on various aspects like the localization of nodes, the strategies of node deployment, and a lifetime of nodes and routing techniques, etc. Coverage is an essential part of WSNs wherein the targeted area is covered by at least one node.

Delay Optimal Schemes for Internet of Things Applications in Heterogeneous Edge Cloud Computing Networks.

Over the last decade, the usage of Internet of Things (IoT) enabled applications, such as healthcare, intelligent vehicles, and smart homes, has increased progressively. These IoT applications generate delayed- sensitive data and requires quick resources for execution. Recently, software-defined networks (SDN) offer an edge computing paradigm (e.

A Novel Low-Latency and Energy-Efficient Task Scheduling Framework for Internet of Medical Things in an Edge Fog Cloud System.

In healthcare, there are rapid emergency response systems that necessitate real-time actions where speed and efficiency are critical; this may suffer as a result of cloud latency because of the delay caused by the cloud. Therefore, fog computing is utilized in real-time healthcare applications. There are still limitations in response time, latency, and energy consumption.

Environment-Monitoring IoT Devices Powered by a TEG Which Converts Thermal Flux between Air and Near-Surface Soil into Electrical Energy.

Energy harvesting has an essential role in the development of reliable devices for environmental wireless sensor networks (EWSN) in the Internet of Things (IoT), without considering the need to replace discharged batteries. Thermoelectric energy is a renewable energy source that can be exploited in order to efficiently charge a battery. The paper presents a simulation of an environment monitoring device powered by a thermoelectric generator (TEG) that harvests energy from the temperature difference between air and soil.

Pressure Membrane FBG Sensor Realized by 3D Technology.

The publication describes the design, production, and practical verification of an alternative pressure sensor suitable for measuring the pressure of gas, based on a combination of fiber-optic technology and 3D printing methods. The created sensor uses FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) suitably implemented on a movable membrane. The sensor is equipped with a reference FBG to compensate for the effect of ambient temperature on the pressure measurement.
