Journal Article
Liu, X., & Liu, Q. (2018). A virtual uneven grid-based routing protocol for mobile sink-based WSNs in a smart home system. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-017-1093-2

In a non-uniformly distributed network, the dataconcentrating centre equipped with sparse nodes rapidly depletes its battery energy due to the hotspot problem. To solve this problem, a Virtual Uneven Grid-based Routing protocol (VUGR) is proposed in...

Grid Routing: An Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol for WSNs with Single Mobile Sink (2017)
Journal Article
Liu, Q., Zhang, K., Liu, X., & Linge, N. (2017). Grid Routing: An Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol for WSNs with Single Mobile Sink. International Journal of Sensor Networks, 25(2), 1. https://doi.org/10.1504/ijsnet.2017.10007397

In a traditional wireless sensor network with static sinks, sensor nodes close to the sink run out of their batteries quicker than other nodes due to the increased data traffic towards the sink. These nodes with huge data traffic are easy to become... Read More about Grid Routing: An Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol for WSNs with Single Mobile Sink.

An Adaptively Speculative Execution Strategy Based on Real-Time Resource Awareness in a Multi-Job Heterogeneous Environment (2017)
Journal Article
