Many Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications operate autonomously in unreliable or inaccessible environments, precluding maintenance or human intervention. Redundant deployment schemes are usually considered in this scenario, making the network resilient to failure and environmental changes. Furthermore, sleep-scheduling techniques can also be applied, enabling redundant nodes to turn off their radios, while active nodes […]

We address the problem of identifying the topology of an unknown weighted, directed network of LTI systems stimulated by wide-sense stationary noises of unknown power spectral densities. We propose several reconstruction algorithms by measuring the cross-power spectral densities of the networkresponse to the input noises. The measurements are based on a series of […]

Based on the fact that the rolling bearing fault vibration signals are susceptible to Gauss noise, a fault diagnosis of rolling bearing method using higher-order cumulants and back propagation (BP) neuralnetwork is proposed. In this paper, the higher-order statistics of the vibration signals are calculated as feature vectors, including the third-order […]

Rational approximation of frequency-dependent network equivalents with vector fitting (VF) is widely used in power system analysis; however, a detailed examination of methods to determine the order of the model has not been reported. The traditional order identification method of the frequency response resonance peak is conservative, as demonstrated in this paper. […]

Echo state neural networks (ESNs) provide an efficient classification technique for spatiotemporal signals. The feedback connections in the ESN topology enable feature extraction of both spatial and temporal components in time series data. This property has been used in several application domains such as image and video analysis, anomaly detection, and speech […]

In wireless sensor networks securing code update is essential for many crucial military applications. The nodes deployed in border areas in the military region called the border sensor nodes are the more sensitive nodes. The border sensor nodes need to do some special tasks compared to other intermediate sensor nodes. […]
