Impact of time synchronization error on the mode-shape identification and damage detection/localization in WSNs for structural health monitoring by Abdaoui, Abderrazak

“…In order to decrease the size of the transmitted data by the sensor nodes and reduce the processing load and the needed storage capacity on the central unit, we adopt a semi-local processing approach where each sensor node partially processed data and transmit it to a central unit for further processing such as mode shape identification, damage detection and damage localization. …”

Minimizing energy consumption of IoT devices for O-RAN based IoT systems by Wang, Liping

“…Although the traditional edge network architecture has been extensively employed, it continues to pose challenges in terms of synchronizing the integration of global and local information for the design of an optimal offloading strategy in edge servers, thus hindering the reduction of latency and energy consumption in IoT devices. In an effort to decrease the latency and energy consumption of IoT devices (IoTDs), we propose a computation offloading problem and employs the Successive Convex Approximation (SCA) algorithm to convert the non-convex problem into a convex problem. …”
