Hazards from landslides are everywhere. Landslides are more likely to occur on steeply sloped hillsides. For several case studies throughout the globe, researchers have performed landslide prediction, detection, and monitoring.
The major goal of researching landslide detection is to stop natural disasters by seeing their early movement. This wi...

Existing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) detection systems are ad hoc and designed as stand-alone nodes. This article, however, presents an integrated end-to-end wireless sensor network (WSN) system that integrates hardware and software for early warning gas leakage detection and monitoring applications, fully utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) f...

Recently, the frequent coal mine safety accidents have caused serious casualties and huge economic losses. It is urgent for the global mining industry to increase operational efficiency and improve overall mining safety. This paper proposes a lightweight mashup middleware to achieve remote monitoring and control automation of underground physical s...

Time is of the essence when ambulances are utilized to save people’s lives, but when an ambulance needs to pass through a junction, its speed often must be reduced due to traffic. This complicates situations when the patient in the ambulance needs urgent treatment that can be administered only at a hospital. Due to the una...

This article investigates the basic design principles for a new Wireless Network Operating System (WNOS), a radically different approach to software-defined networking (SDN) for infrastructure-less wireless networks. Departing from well understood approaches inspired by Open Flow, WNOS provides the network designer with an abstraction hiding (i) th...

This paper is concerned with the security problem of Time of Arrival (ToA) based localization schemes in a wireless sensor network (WSN) with multiple attackers and this paper focuses on defending against external attacks, especially under cooperative external attackers. The prior scheme for defending against the attacks in the localization scheme ...

In this paper, the problem of energy-efficient data gathering in an Internet of Things (IoT) based remote area surveillance application is addressed by designing a suitable MAC layer uplink solution. We follow the 3GPP specified scheduled access scheme for narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) and consider presence of both delay sensitive and delay tolerant traf...

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is composed of many micro sensor nodes, and the localization technology is one of the most important applications of WSN technology. At present, many positioning algorithms have high position-ing accuracy in line-of-sight (LOS) environment, but poor positioning accuracy in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environ-ment. In this...

To extend the lifetime of wireless multihop networks suffering from energy scarcity of constituent nodes, we apply a wireless power transfer (WPT) technology to multihop transmission and allow the nodes with substantial energy to perform WPT to energy-deprived nodes in a cooperative way. We construct a system model for this cooperative WPT (CoWPT)-...

In this paper, the concept o 2-Layer routing for wireless 5G networks is presented. New fifth generations of the network along with the platform known asthe Internet of Things (IoT) are an upcoming trend not only in the commercial market but also in the research area. The 5G networks and IoT will be part of smart homes, smart cities and every aspec...

With the rapid development of communication technology in recent years, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has become a promising research project. WSN is widely applied in a number of fields such as military, environmental monitoring, space exploration and so on. The non-line-of-sight (NLOS) localization is one of the most essential techniques for WSN....
