Low-latency neighbor discovery algorithm based on multi-beacon message in mobile low-duty-cycle sensor network by Junbin LIANG, Xiang ZHOU, Fangqiang MA, Chan JIANG, Zongjian HE

“…Neighbor discovery enables nodes in the networks to discover each other through simple information interaction,which was suitable for the new mobile low duty cycle sensor network (MLDC-WSN).However,because the nodes in MLDC-WSN can move randomly and sleep,the network topology was changed frequently,which results in that some nodes need a lot of energy and time to find their neighbors.How to realize fast neighbor discovery for all nodes in the network was a difficult problem in current research.To solve this problem,a new low-latency neighbor discovery algorithm based on multi-beacon messages was proposed.In this algorithm,the nodes were discovered by sending a short beacon message through their neighbor nodes,and by adjusting the time and frequency of beacon message sent,a lower neighbor discovery delay was obtained.Eventually,through quantitative analysis and simulation experiments,it is found that compared with existing algorithms,this algorithm can find all neighbor nodes in MLDC-WSN with less energy consumption,lower latency and greater probability.…”

A Unifying Theory for SIDS by David T. Mage, Maria Donner

“… (1) A characteristic male fraction of approximately 0.61 for all postneonatal SIDS in the US; (2) a distinctive lognormal-type age distribution arising from zero at birth, mode at about 2 months, median at about 3 months, and an exponential decrease with age going towards zero beyond one year; (3) a marked decrease in SIDS rate from the discovery that changing the recommended infant sleep position from prone to supine reduced the rate of SIDS, but it did not change the form of the age or gender distributions cited above; (4) a seasonal variation, maximal in winter and minimal in summer, that implies subsets of SIDS displaying evidence of seasonal low-grade respiratory infection and nonseasonal neurological prematurity. …”
