Abstract This study introduces the type-I heavy-tailed Burr XII (TIHTBXII) distribution, a highly flexible and robust statistical model designed to address the limitations of conventional distributions in analyzing data characterized by skewness, heavy tails, and diverse hazard behaviors. We meticulously develop the TIHTBXII’s mathematical foundations, including its probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), and essential statistical properties, crucial for theoretical understanding and practical application. A comprehensive Monte Carlo simulation evaluates four parameter estimation methods: maximum likelihood (MLE), maximum product spacing (MPS), least squares (LS), and weighted least squares (WLS). The simulation results consistently show… More >

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), as a crucial component of the Internet of Things (IoT), are widely used in environmental monitoring, industrial control, and security surveillance. However, WSNs still face challenges such as inaccurate node clustering, low energy efficiency, and shortened network lifespan in practical deployments, which significantly limit their large-scale application. To address these issues, this paper proposes an Adaptive Chaotic Ant Colony Optimization algorithm (AC-ACO), aiming to optimize the energy utilization and system lifespan of WSNs. AC-ACO combines the path-planning capability of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) with the dynamic characteristics of chaotic mapping and… More >

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) play a critical role in automated border surveillance systems, where continuous monitoring is essential. However, limited energy resources in sensor nodes lead to frequent network failures and reduced coverage over time. To address this issue, this paper presents an innovative energy-efficient protocol based on deep Q-learning (DQN), specifically developed to prolong the operational lifespan of WSNs used in border surveillance. By harnessing the adaptive power of DQN, the proposed protocol dynamically adjusts node activity and communication patterns. This approach ensures optimal energy usage while maintaining high coverage, connectivity, and data accuracy. More >

Abstract Internet of things networks often suffer from early node failures and short lifespan due to energy limits. Traditional routing methods are not enough. This work proposes a new hybrid algorithm called ACOGA. It combines Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and the Greedy Algorithm (GA). ACO finds smart paths while Greedy makes quick decisions. This improves energy use and performance. ACOGA outperforms Hybrid Energy-Efficient (HEE) and Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC) algorithms. After 500 rounds, only 5% of ACOGA’s nodes are dead, compared to 15% for HEE and 20% for ALDC. The network using ACOGA runs for More >

Abstract Photovoltaic (PV) modules, as essential components of solar power generation systems, significantly influence unit power generation costs. The service life of these modules directly affects these costs. Over time, the performance of PV modules gradually declines due to internal degradation and external environmental factors. This cumulative degradation impacts the overall reliability of photovoltaic power generation. This study addresses the complex degradation process of PV modules by developing a two-stage Wiener process model. This approach accounts for the distinct phases of degradation resulting from module aging and environmental influences. A power degradation model based on the More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In the world of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), optimizing performance and extending network lifetime are critical goals. In this paper, we propose a new model called DTLR-Net (Deep Temporal LSTM Regression Network) that employs long-short-term memory and is effective for long-term dependencies. Mobile sinks can move in arbitrary patterns, so the model employs long short-term memory (LSTM) networks to handle such movements. The parameters were initialized iteratively, and each node updated its position, mobility level, and other important metrics at each turn, with key measurements including active or inactive node ratio, energy consumption per cycle,… More >

Abstract In the low and medium pressure urban gas pipe network, transporting the hydrogen-blended natural gas through polyethylene pipe is an important means to realize the large-scale delivery and utilization of hydrogen-blended natural gas. However, due to the characteristics of polymer material, polyethylene pipes will experience aging phenomenon, which will lead to the deterioration of performance and eventually result in brittle damage and failure. Therefore, it is of great significance to analyze and predict the lifetime of polyethylene pipe due to the aging in the hydrogen-blended natural gas environment to ensure the safe transportation.

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) play a vital role in several real-time applications ranging from military to civilian. Despite the benefits of WSN, energy efficiency becomes a major part of the challenging issue in WSN, which necessitate proper load balancing amongst the clusters and serves a wider monitoring region. The clustering technique for WSN has several benefits: lower delay, higher energy efficiency, and collision avoidance. But clustering protocol has several challenges. In a large-scale network, cluster-based protocols mainly adapt multi-hop routing to save energy, leading to hot spot problems. A hot spot problem becomes a problem… More >

Abstract As the use of mobile devices continues to rise, trust administration will significantly improve security in routing the guaranteed quality of service (QoS) supply in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) due to the mobility of the nodes. There is no continuance of network communication between nodes in a delay-tolerant network (DTN). DTN is designed to complete recurring connections between nodes. This approach proposes a dynamic source routing protocol (DSR) based on a feed-forward neural network (FFNN) and energy-based random repetition trust calculation in DTN.
