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...

This work proposed an activity recognition model which focus on the power con-suming activity in home environment, to help residents modify their behavior. We set the IoT system with lower number of sensors. The key data for identifying activity come... Read More about Power Consuming Activity Recognition in Home Environment.

An Optimized Speculative Execution Strategy Based on Local Data Prediction in a Heterogeneous Hadoop Environment (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liu, X., & Liu, Q. (2017). An Optimized Speculative Execution Strategy Based on Local Data Prediction in a Heterogeneous Hadoop Environment. In Proceedings of 2017 IEEE International Conference on Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) and IEEE Inte

Hadoop is a famous distributed computing framework that is applied to process large-scale data. "Straggling tasks" have a serious impact on Hadoop performance due to imbalance of slow tasks distribution. Speculative execution (SE) presents a way to d...

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.
