This paper proposes a practical and accurate algorithm for capturing load information from
the raw metering data based on the context awareness, exploiting the dependency of user …

This paper deals with the effect of mesh and cluster-tree topologies (that are defined in
802.15. 4/Zigbee or 802.15. 4a standards) in the performance of cooperative and range …

With the advance and pervasion of mobile devices and fast growth of high speed Internet
connections, our life is inevitable to be changed. These devices are combined with sensors …

In this letter, a novel method for localizing a user in a smart home environment is presented.
We propose a two‐level structure, in which the first level determines an occupant's location …

This paper reviews on one of the localization algorithm works based on Maximum
Likelihood Estimation Method and tries to improvement the performance of this algorithm …

The architecture of ZigBee networks focuses on developing low-cost, low-speed ubiquitous
communication between devices. The ZigBee technique is based on IEEE 802.15. 4, which …

The ability of a sensor node to determine its position is a fundamental requirement for many
applications in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this article, we address a scenario …

This paper proposes a reliable access scheme in the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer of
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) called Explicit Reservation with Coordinated Sleeping …

Indoor Visible Light Communication (VLC) positioning is an new indoor positioning method.
We discuss the method to realize 3D positioning and the how to optimize it. Build a …
