Enhanced RANO Protocol by Reduced Packet Loss in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract: In wireless sensor network (WSN) a lot of sensed data and routing information has to be sent which often have some time constraints so that the information can be utilized before any mishap occurs. The time synchronization makes accessible the avoidance to collision and better safety to the nodes. A variety of category criteria are formed to grant time synchronization—NTP incident, GPS symmetric analysis. The problems are lack of energy …

Comparative Study of Microstrip Rectangular Patch Antenna on different substrates for Strain Sensing Applications
Abstract: The feasibility of applying patch antennas for strain sensing is investigated. The resonant frequency of microstrip patch antenna is calculated by the dimensions of its patch. In this work, three types of microstrip patch antennas are developed using three different substrates FR4, RT Duroid 5880 and Polyimide. This paper describes the simulation of a slotted rectangular microstrip patch antenna for strain measurement for three different materials. The microstrip antenna is …
