This study proposes a two-tier distributed fuzzy logic based protocol (TTDFP) to improve the efficiency of data aggregation operations in multihop wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Clustering is utilized for efficient aggregation requirements in terms of consumed energy. In a clustered network, member (leaf) nodes transmit obtained data to cluster-heads (CHs) and CHs relay received packets to the base station. In multihop wireless networks, this CH-generated transmission occurs over other CHs. Due to the adoption of a multihop topology, hotspots and/or energy-hole problems may arise. This article proposes a TTDFP to extend the lifespan of multihop WSNs by taking the efficiency of clustering and routing phases jointly into account. TTDFP is a distribution-adaptive protocol that runs and scales sensor network applications efficiently. Additionally, along with the two-tier fuzzy logic based protocol, we utilize an optimization framework to tune the parameters used in the fuzzy clustering tier in order to optimize the performance of a given WSN. This paper also includes performance comparisons and experimental evaluations with the selected state-of-the-art algorithms. The experimental results reveal that TTDFP performs better than any other protocols under the same network setup considering metrics used for comparing energy-efficiency and network lifespan of the protocols.

A Distributed Fault-Tolerant Topology Control Algorithm for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks
Bagci, Hakki; KÖRPEOĞLU, İBRAHİM; Yazıcı, Adnan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015-04-01)
This paper introduces a distributed fault-tolerant topology control algorithm, called the Disjoint Path Vector (DPV), for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks composed of a large number of sensor nodes with limited energy and computing capability and several supernodes with unlimited energy resources. The DPV algorithm addresses the k-degree Anycast Topology Control problem where the main objective is to assign each sensor's transmission range such that each has at least k-vertex-disjoint paths to superno...
A nested iterative scheme for computation of incompressible flows in long domains
Manguoğlu, Murat; Tezduyar, Tayfun E.; Sathe, Sunil (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-12-01)
We present an effective preconditioning technique for solving the nonsymmetric linear systems encountered in computation of incompressible flows in long domains. The application category we focus on is arterial fluid mechanics. These linear systems are solved using a nested iterative scheme with an outer Richardson scheme and an inner iteration that is handled via a Krylov subspace method. Test computations that demonstrate the robustness of our nested scheme are presented.
AN ADAPTIVE HYBRID ARQ SCHEME FOR SLOWLY TIME-VARYING COMMUNICATION CHANNELS
MEMISOGLU, AT; BILGEN, S (1994-04-14)
An adaptive hybrid ARQ scheme for slowly timevarying channels that aims to maximize the average throughput under a given reliability constraint is presented. Punctured convolutional codes and the Viterbi algorithm with the Yamemoto-Itoh retransmission protocol are employed for encoding and decoding, respectively. A procedure based on exponentially weighted moving averages is developed to detect channel state changes
A tearing-based hybrid parallel sparse linear system solver
NAUMOV, Maxim; Manguoğlu, Murat; SAMEH, Ahmed (Elsevier BV, 2010-09-15)
We propose a hybrid sparse system solver for handling linear systems using algebraic domain decomposition-based techniques. The solver consists of several stages. The first stage uses a reordering scheme that brings as many of the largest matrix elements as possible closest to the main diagonal. This is followed by partitioning the coefficient matrix into a set of overlapped diagonal blocks that contain most of the largest elements of the coefficient matrix. The only constraint here is to minimize the size ...
