Wireless Sensor Networks are a set of sensor nodes that probe their surroundings and send data over multi-hop routes to base-station (BS) for processing. Many routing protocols have been developed WSNs. A great attention has given geographic protocols, which rely only on local knowledge disseminate towards the BS. In this paper, we propose new energy efficient protocol called Improved Energy-aw...

The utilization of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) benefits the realization net-zero energy-transportation nexus. Since BESS represents a substantial part vehicle total costs, mitigation degradation should be factored into management strategies. This paper proposes two-stage aging quantification health-aware method for ...

We present an activity-based framework that links information and energy. The activity-based framework uses a quantization-based approach for modeling information processing and defines weighted activity to model the energy consumption of information processing. We provide a formal description of this framework and use simulation to show how it enables one to study the interaction between infor...
