This paper aims to deliver an exhaustive investigation on the threshold energy parameter's direct impact on the Cluster Head (CH) selection phase in Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy Based on K-Means (LEACH-K) protocols. The most prominent threshold energy selection criterion out of the scarcely available research on the LEACH-K threshold energy parameter is used to simulate the LEACH-K protocol. Simulations are carried out on scaled-up Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in terms of size and number of nodes. An analysis is performed on the life-cycle of the CH selection process, which

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide an energy-efficient and robust solution for data collection from the internet of things (IoT) devices. However, the UAV’s deployment optimization, including locations of the UAV’s stop points, is necessary to save the overall energy consumption and conduct the data collection efficiently. Thus, the objective is to minimize the energy consumption of the UAV and the IoT devices while collecting the data efficiently. This chapter proposes gaining-sharing knowledge (GSK) algorithm for optimizing the UAV’s deployment. In GSK, the number of UAV’s stop points

The popularity of wearable devices has grown as they improve the quality of life in many applications. In particular, for medical devices, energy harvesters are the dominating source of energy for wearable devices. However, their power budget is limited. Thus, power-saving techniques are essential components in the whole technology stack of those devices. That is, choosing the optimal schedule for different tasks running on the wearable device can help to reduce energy consumption. This paper presents a sensor task scheduling technique for optimizing energy consumption for energy harvesting

People's lives have been severely disrupted recently due to the COVID-19 outbreak's fast worldwide proliferation and transmission. An option for controlling the epidemic is to make individuals wear face masks in public. For such regulation, automatic and effective face detection systems are required. A facial mask recognition model for real-time video-recorded streaming is provided in this research, which categorizes the pictures as (with mask) or (without mask). A dataset from Kaggle was used to develop and assess the model. The suggested system is computationally more precise, efficient and

This chapter proposes a novel binary version of recently developed Gaining-Sharing knowledge-based optimization algorithm (GSK) to solve binary optimization problems. GSK algorithm is based on the concept of how humans acquire and share knowledge during their life span. Binary version of GSK named novel binary Gaining-Sharing knowledge-based optimization algorithm (BGSK) depends on mainly two binary stages: binary junior gaining sharing stage and binary senior gaining sharing stage with knowledge factor 1. These two stages enable BGSK for exploring and exploitation of the search space

There is an increasing interest in energy harvesting for wearable biomedical devices. This requires power conservation and management to ensure long-term and steady operation. Hence, task scheduling algorithms will be used throughout this work to provide a reliable solution to minimize energy consumption while considering the system operation constraints. This study proposes a novel power-aware task scheduler to manage system operations. For example, we used the scheduler to handle system operations, including heart rate and temperature sensors. Two optimization techniques have been used to

Long-Term Evolution (LTE) cellular networks have transformed the mobile business, as users increasingly require various network services such as video streaming, online gaming, and video conferencing. A network planning approach is required for network services to meet user expectations and meet their needs. The User DownLink (UE DL) throughput is considered the most effective Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for measuring the user experience. As a result, the forecast of UE DL throughput is essential in network dimensioning for the network planning team throughout the network design stage. The

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are memory and computationally intensive; hence they are difficult to apply to real-time systems with limited resources. Therefore, the DNN models need to be carefully optimized. The solution was a model based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) called MobileNet that decreases the computational and space complexities with classification precision loss by utilizing depthwise separable convolutions. This study uses MobileNet vl architecture to improve image classification complexities to reach an acceptable complexity that can be used in real-time applications

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the development of educational technology, e-learning has become essential in the educational process. However, the adoption of e-learning in sectors such as engineering, science, and technology faces a particular challenge as it needs a special Laboratory Learning Management System (LLMS) capable of supporting online lab activities through virtual and controlled remote labs. One of the most challenging tasks in designing such LLMS is how to assess a student's performance while an experiment is being conducted and how stuttering students can be automatically
