Abstract

Relay nodes are necessary to maintain scalability and increase longevity as the number of manufacturing industrial sensors grows. In a fixed-budget circumstance, however, the cost of purchasing the bare minimum of relay nodes to connect the network may exceed the budget. Although it is hard to establish a network that connects all sensor nodes, in this case, a network with a high level of connection is still desirable. This paper proposes two metrics for determining the connectedness of a disconnected graph of sensor nodes and determining the optimum deployment method for relay nodes in a network with the highest connectedness while staying within a budget restriction. The metrics are the number of connected graph components and the size of the most significant connected graph component. Prim's algorithm and the approximation minimum spanning tree algorithm are applied to construct a disconnected graph and discover the best relay node placement to solve these two criteria. Compared to the other metrics, simulation findings suggest that prioritizing the most significant connected components in the disconnected graph can yield superior outcomes by deploying the fewest number of relay nodes while retaining the connectedness of the graph.

Abstract

The deployment of fifth generation (5G) millimetre-wave (mmWave) base stations (BSs) will consume more energy over time due to the limited time available, despite the increasing interest in developing 5G mmWave wireless communication technology. Constructing 5G mmWave cellular network infrastructure can improve energy efficiency, which is a challenge to implement in heterogeneous networks. This paper presents analytical frameworks for monitoring the effectiveness of 5G mmWave cellular networks. Based on the state management of BS, a system model for 2-tier heterogeneous networks is developed, and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is then used to compute the total energy consumption of the heterogeneous networks. Energy consumption was compared and analysed by leveraging state switching and the aggregate delay for three methods: fundamental separation, conventional separation, and a proposed energy-saving method that introduced a sleep state. Simulation shows that the proposed energy-saving method, which is a combination of conventional separation approaches, has the lowest total energy consumption and offers a 9% reduction compared to other related works. The results validate the accuracy of the power usage used in the 5G mmWave cellular network of the proposed method.

Abstract

Relay node (RN) placement expands the network coverage and capacity and significantly reduces the energy consumption of heterogeneous networks (HetNets). Energy efficiency is the system design parameter in HetNets as it determines network operators' energy consumption and economic value. Relay is one of the energy-saving methods, where it can reduce the transmit power by breaking a long transmission distance into several short transmissions. However, placing an RN without a proper transmission distance may lead to a waste of energy. Thus, investigating an optimum RN placement in HetNets is crucial to ensure energy efficiency and maintain network performance. This paper presents an energy efficiency scheme for the RN based on four commonly used network topologies of indoor HetNets. The minimum energy consumption algorithm is proposed based on a comparison of distance and links of the RN. The results show that the circular network topology is an optimal network model with an efficiency factor increase of 6% that can be used to design the energy efficiency indoor HetNet.

Abstract

In recent years, Automated Mobile Robots (AMRs) have gained significant attention in industry and research applications, requiring efficient path-planning algorithms to optimize task performance. While widely adopted, conventional Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms suffer from low convergence rates and delays in task execution, particularly in dynamic environments due to insufficient exploration of this context. However, traditional Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms, widely used for AMR path planning, exhibit limitations such as low convergence rates and redundant recalculations, particularly in environments with frequently changing obstacles. To address these challenges, this study proposes an Integrative Edge Cloud-Based Ant Colony Optimization (IECACO) algorithm. IECACO incorporates a novel path retrieval mechanism and edge cloud computing infrastructure to minimize redundant path computation and improve convergence efficiency. The proposed algorithm is tested within a simulated 2D occupancy grid environment using both a 4×4 map for controlled experiments and a 20×20 map for comparative evaluation against a prior Improved ACO (IACO) study. Experimental simulation results, based on 50 independent runs in settings, demonstrate that IECACO achieves at least 4.76% reduction compared to traditional ACO. Based on the observation of 10 independent runs between IECACO and IACO, IECACO leading a significant reduction in both static and dynamic settings. Although this study is conducted in a simulated environment, the findings lay a foundation for future real-world implementations.
