The Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6), which is drawn up by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), utilizes the Mobile Anchor Point (MAP) to reduce the considerable number of binding update (BU) messages among the mobile node (MN), the correspondent node (CN), and the home agent (HA). According to the HMIPv6 mechanism, the MAP of higher layer can efficiently reduce the frequency of perform...

Many methods have been researched to prolong sensor network lifetime using mobile technologies. In the mobile sink research, there are the track based methods and the anchor points based methods as representative operation methods for mobile sinks. However, the existing methods decrease Quality of Service (QoS) and lead the routing hotspot in the vicinity of the mobile sink. In large scale wire...

In this paper, results obtained in both conventional and finite element analysis of straight and belled anchor shafts subjected to a pullout force are presented. In numerical analysis, it is assumed that no drainage takes place during the anchor pullout. Comparisons between two conventional methods of analysis for ultimate pullout load and the results obtained by the finite element analysis are...

The framework proposed in [3, 5] for the representation of inner perceptual knowledge of a robot is generalized to include a representation of actions, in order that a mobile robot can exploit its inner perceptual representations to anchor its actions to perception. Such extension is aimed to allow the robot to simulate its own future actions, to anticipate their consequences andevaluate themin...

This specification defines a new mobility option for allowing the mobile access gateway and the local mobility anchor to negotiate Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) encapsulation mode and exchange the downlink and uplink GRE keys that are used for marking the downlink and uplink traffic that belong to a specific mobility session. In addition, the same mobility option can be used to negotiate ...

Medium Access Control (MAC) delay which occurs between the anchor node's transmissions is one of the error sources in underwater localization. In particular, in AUV localization, the MAC delay significantly degrades the ranging accuracy. The Cramer-Rao Low Bound (CRLB) definition theoretically proves that the MAC delay significantly degrades the localization performance. This paper proposes und...
