This paper provides a performance evaluation of tree and mesh routing topologies of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in a cultural heritage site. The historical site selected was San Juan Bautista church in Talamanca de Jarama (Madrid, Spain). We report the preliminary analysis required to study the effects of heating in this historical location using WSNs to monitor the temperature and humidity conditions during periods of weeks. To test which routing topology was better for this kind of application, the WSNs were first deployed on the upper floor of the CAEND institute in Arganda del Rey simulating the church deployment, but in the former scenario there was no direct line of sight between the WSN elements. Two parameters were selected to evaluate the performance of the routing topologies of WSNs: the percentage of received messages and the lifetime of the wireless sensor network. To analyze in more detail which topology gave the best performance, other communication parameters were also measured. The tree topology used was the collection tree protocol and the mesh topology was the XMESH provided by MEMSIC (Andover, MA, USA). For the scenarios presented in this paper, it can be concluded that the tree topology lost fewer messages than the mesh topology.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become essential tools across various sectors due to their versatility and advanced capabilities in autonomy, perception, and networking. Despite over a decade of experimental efforts in multi-UAV systems, substantial theoretical challenges concerning coordination mechanisms still need to be solved, particularly in maintaining network connectivity and optimizing routing. Current research has revealed the absence of an efficient algorithm tailored for the routing problem of multiple UAVs connected to a central station, especially under the constraints of maintaining constant network connectivity and minimizing the average goal revisit time.

Valley photonic crystals (VPCs) provide an intriguing approach to suppress backscattering losses and enable robust transport of light against sharp bends, which could be utilized to realize low-loss and small-footprint devices for on-chip optical communications. However, there are few studies on how to achieve power-efficient tunable devices based on VPCs, which are essential for implementing basic functions such as optical switching and routing. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a thermally tunable add-drop filter (ADF) based on VPCs operating at telecommunication wavelengths.

The Internet of Things (IoT) facilitates data transmission through communication networks, preventing congestion when input data rate exceeds output, and congestion control in computer networks modulates traffic entry. This paper proposes a fusion of auction theory with reinforcement learning as a means of managing congestion in the IoT. The proposed technique seeks to enhance network performance by utilizing object trustworthiness evaluation and auction-based route selection to manage congestion during data routing.
