sensornetworks, that consist of potentially several thousands of nodes each with sensing (heat, sound, light, magnetism, etc.) and wireless communication capabilities, provide great opportunities for monitoring spatial information about a region of interest. Although spatial query execution has been studied extensively in the context of database systems (e.g., indexing technologies), these solutions are not directly applicable in the context of sensornetworks due to the decentralized nature of the sensornetworks and the limited computational power and energy scarcity of individual sensor nodes. In this paper, we present a peer-to-peer indexing structure, namely peer-tree, in order to address the problem of energy- and time-efficient execution of spatial queries (such as nearest-neighbor queries) in sensornetworks. Loosely speaking, our peer-tree structure can be interpreted as a peer-to-peer version of the centralized R-tree index structure. Using the peer-tree as a building block, we present a peer-to-peer query processing model where a query can be posed in any node of the network without the need of a central server. For achieving minimal energy consumption and minimal response time, our query processing model ensures that only the relevant nodes for the correct execution of a query are involved in the query execution.

In the framework of new services in wireless networks beyond the third generation, asymmetric and flexible uplink transmission schemes are highly desirable. Hence, especially in "data only" networks, an efficient uplink scheduling must not be neglected in the network design. Although not yet well covered in the literature, this area appears to gain importance especially in the face of high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) radio link design for future wireless systems. In this work we study an uplink scheduling scheme from the information theoretic and queueing theoretic point of view. The objective of the cross-layer [2] scheduling approach we present is the stability of bit-queues awaiting their transmission at every user node. With this approach is associated an optimization problem of maximizing the weighted sum of rates, where the weights express the intensity of packet-traffics at every user node. An important property characterizing our approach is considering only spatial channelization of users, i.e. allocating user signals within one succesive interference cancellation (SIC) order fixed over a certain time interval T. We show, that despite this neglection of time sharing technique, it is possible to achieve an overall optimal stability achieving scheduling for every set of user rate weights. Furthermore, we show that the choice of the SIC-order allowing for the optimal scheduling is independent of user channels and that the associated optimization problem over transmit covariance matrices is convex.

Single sensor night vision system has been developed for many years, but it still has many intrinsic limitations. For example, in single channel imaging system the image contrast will be too low to distinguish different targets. As a new technique, multi-sensor image fusion color night vision is developed. This system can make up single sensor's limitation and improve the system's performance. Depending on Sharmon's formula of the information theory, this paper describes the formula of the fusion image's amount of information and proves that multi-sensor image fusion technique is good at increasing amount of information. Then according to the information theory, the LLLCCD and IRFPA image fusion system is developed. The system's block diagram is given and described in detail in this paper. And the improved fusion algorithm is adopted which is especially good at this fusion system. At last the impersonal judgment of fusion effect is employed to analysis this system's performance and the practical fusion image is given to show this system's good effect.

Automatic extracting and updating road networks is a key work for updating geo-spatial information especially in developing countries. Aiming at the deficiency of the perceptual grouping based on geometric relation and based on the similar relation, a new perceptual grouping method that is so-called the perceptual grouping based on the whole relationship is presented. In this method, all kinds of information including geometric properties, image attributes and other information are grouped based on the similarity rules. Based on this new grouping framework, the principles and the procedures of automatic road segments grouping are described in detail from two aspects: one is automatic perceptual grouping for similar road segments and another is automatic extended road segments grouping for non-similar road segments. At last some discussion for new perceptual grouping strategy is given.

The development of lightweight sensing and communication protocols is a key requirement for designing resource constrained sensornetworks. This paper introduces a set of efficient protocols and algorithms, DAM, EBAM, and EMLAM, for constructing and maintaining sensor aggregates that collectively monitor target activity in the environment. A sensor aggregate comprises those nodes in a network that satisfy a grouping predicate for a collaborative processing task. The parameters of the predicate depend on the task and its resource requirements. Since the foremost purpose of a sensor network is to selectively gather information about the environment, the formation of appropriate sensor aggregates is crucial for optimally allocating resources to sensing and communication tasks. This paper makes minimal assumptions about node onboardprocessing and communication capabilities so as to allow possible implementations on resource-constrained hardware. Factors affecting protocol performance are discussed. The paper presents simulation results showing how the protocol performance varies as key network and task parameters are varied. It also provides probabilistic analyses of network behavior consistent with the simulation results. The protocols have been experimentally validated on a sensor network testbed comprising 25 Berkeley MICA sensor motes.

In this paper, a new frequency offset compensation scheme for up link of multicarrier code-division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems is proposed. The proposed scheme exploits guard interval (GI) information embedded in MC-CDMA symbol blocks and is an extension of the work in F. Daffara and A. Chouly (May 1993). Simulation results show that the new scheme results in improved performance in MC-CDMA uplink.
