Influence of Node Dynamics on Cluster Global Time Continuity

The cluster global time can change in wireless sensor networks due to leader re-elections and node disabilities between two successive synchronizations,which will affect temporal relationships.This paper analyzes cluster global time continuity,using global time change models for the node dynamics.The results prove that defining the global time using the cluster average time(AGT) is more stable than defining it using a single node’s local time(SGT).With normally distributed clock-parameter assumptions,the AGT change bounds are at most 70.7% of those for the SGT’s.The impacts of the initial phase and frequency skew distributions on the global time continuity are also investigated to show that the initial phase variations may strongly influence the continuity.Simulations show that the AGT is more stable with less disabled nodes or larger clusters.The appropriate cluster size is 20-40 when there are less than 15 disabled nodes.     

Universal Distributed Estimation Scheme for a Bandwidth Constrained Ad Hoc Sensor Network

This paper describes a distributed estimation scheme (DES) for a bandwidth constrained ad hoc sensor network.The DES is universal in the sense that operations on all sensors are identical and independent of noise distribution.The scheme requires each sensor to transmit just a 1-bit message per observation.Simulation results show that the scheme achieves much better mean-squares error (MSE) performance than the simplified isotropic universal DES and even outperforms the isotropic universal DES which requires more than twice the bandwidth of this scheme.     

A NAM Representation Method for Data Compression of Binary Images

A representation method using the non-symmetry and anti-packing model (NAM) for data compression of binary images is presented.The NAM representation algorithm is compared with the popular linear quadtree and run length encoding algorithms.Theoretical and experimental results show that the algorithm has a higher compression ratio for both lossy and lossless cases of binary images and better reconstructed quality for the lossy case.     

Applying File Information to Block-Level Content Addressable Storage

Content addressable storage (CAS) is a promising technology for improving storage efficiency as well as access throughput.Currently,many CAS products are implemented on the block level,which results in loss of file information.Thus,some sophisticated optimizations cannot be achieved,such as accurate fileprefetching.This paper presents a file-aware block-level storage system combined with the CAS function.In contrast with some existing file-level CAS,this system is transparent to upper-level applications,including the operating system and the file system.These features are achieved by using smart-disk technologies to help the storage system to learn the file-system layout.A prototype was implemented on an open-source virtual machine (VM) with the guest operating system being Windows XP.Tests show that this combination significantly reduces the size of the VM image file and improves the storage performance by discarding unused blocks and using a simple file-level prefetching strategy.
