Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) have significant advantages in enhancing the coverage and reducing the deployment cost of wireless networks. This paper studies an aerial IRS- (AIRS-) enhanced cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output- (MIMO-) based wireless sensor network (WSN) in which multiple access points (APs) serve several sensor users (SUs). Direct links between the APs and SUs are blocked due to occlusion by tall buildings. Hence, we deploy an AIRS to improve the communication quality of the SUs. Our goal is to minimize the total transmit power of all APs under a given minimum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) requirement. We propose a joint iterative optimization algorithm by designing an active beamforming mechanism at each AP and a passive beamforming mechanism at the AIRS to solve this problem. Simulation results illustrate the good performance of the proposed method.

In the wireless sensor network (WSN), wireless communication is said to be the dominant power-consuming operation and it is a challenging one. Virtual Multiple-Input–Multiple-Output (V-MIMO) technology is considered to be the energy-saving method in the WSN. In this paper, a novel multihop virtual MIMO communication protocol is designed in the WSN via cross-layer design to enhance the energy efficiency, reliability, and end-to-end (ETE) and Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning. On the basis of the proposed protocol, the optimal set of parameters concerning the transmission and the overall consumed energy by each of the packets is found. Furthermore, the modeling of ETE latency and throughput of the protocol takes place with respect to the bit-error-rate (BER). A novel hybrid optimization algorithm referred as Flight Straight Moth Updated Particle Swarm Optimization (FS-MUP) is introduced to find the optimal BER that meets the QoS, ETE requirements of each link with lower power consumption. Finally, the performance of the proposed model is evaluated over the extant models in terms of Energy Consumption and BER as well.

Abstract The recently completed 5G framework is the outcome of a few advanced technologies. Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), millimeter wave communication, and network densification are examples of these technologies. However, there are two disadvantages to this technology.1) the lack of control over the wireless channel, and 2) the wireless interface’s excessive power consumption. The concept of re-configurable Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces has emerged to answer the need for green and cost-effective future cellular networks. In this study, we’ll look at how using an Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) improve the performance of moderate MIMO communication in terms of the rate, SINR, Energy efficiency and transmit power metrics. Despite the fact that the underlying issue is non-convexity, we use Lagrangian dual transform and Quadratic Transform to change and rearrange the original issue. After that, active and passive beam forming improved alternatively using an alternating Direction method of multiplier algorithm (ADMM.The IRS-aided system with a reasonable number of antennas at the access point (AP) outperforms the massive MIMO without IRS in terms of sum rate, SINR, Energy efficiency and transmit power metrics.

The simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technique has been considered as a promising approach to prolong the lifetime of energy-constraint wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper, a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) full-duplex (FD) bidirectional wireless sensor network (BWSN) with SWIPT is investigated. Based on minimum total mean-square-error (total-MSE) criterion, a joint optimization problem for source and relay beamforming and source receiving subject to transmitting power and harvesting energy constraints is established. Since this problem is non-convex, an iterative algorithm based on feasible point pursuit-successive convex approximation (FPP-SCA) is derived to obtain a local optimum. Moreover, considering the scenarios in which source and relay nodes equipped with the same and different numbers of antennas, a low-complexity diagonalizing design-based scheme is employed to simplify each non-convex subproblem into convex problems and to reduce the computational complexity. Numerical results of the total-MSE and bit error rate (BER) are implemented to demonstrate the performance of the two different schemes.

Improving the energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks (WSN) has attracted considerable attention nowadays. The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique has been proved as a good candidate for improving the energy efficiency, but it may not be feasible in WSN which is due to the size limitation of the sensor node. As a solution, the cooperative multiple-input multiple-output (CMIMO) technique overcomes this constraint and shows a dramatically good performance. In this paper, a new CMIMO scheme based on the spatial modulation (SM) technique named CMIMO-SM is proposed for energy-efficiency improvement. We first establish the system model of CMIMO-SM. Based on this model, the transmission approach is introduced graphically. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, a detailed analysis in terms of energy consumption per bit of the proposed scheme compared with the conventional CMIMO is presented. Later, under the guide of this new scheme we extend our proposed CMIMO-SM to a multihop clustered WSN for further achieving energy efficiency by finding an optimal hop-length. Equidistant hop as the traditional scheme will be compared in this paper. Results from the simulations and numerical experiments indicate that by the use of the proposed scheme, significant savings in terms of total energy consumption can be achieved. Combining the proposed scheme with monitoring sensor node will provide a good performance in arbitrary deployed WSN such as forest fire detection system.

A comparative field measurement for column shortening of tall buildings is presented in this study, with a focus on the reliability and stability of a wireless sensor network. A wireless sensor network was used for monitoring the column shortenings of a 58-story building under construction. The wireless sensor network, which was composed of sensor and master nodes, employed the ultra-high-frequency band and CDMA communication methods. To evaluate the reliability and stability of the wireless sensor network system, the column shortenings were also measured using a conventional wired monitoring system. Two vibration wire gauges were installed in each of the selected 7 columns and 3 walls. Measurements for selected columns and walls were collected for 270 days after casting of the concrete. The results measured by the wireless sensor network were compared with the results of the conventional method. The strains and column shortenings measured using both methods showed good agreement for all members. It was verified that the column shortenings of tall buildings could be monitored using the wireless sensor network system with its reliability and stability.
