Sensor networks are deployed in people’s homes to make life easier and more comfortable and secure. They might represent an interesting approach for elderly care as well. This work highlights the benefits of a sensor network implemented in the homes of a group of users between 55 and 75 years old, which encompasses a simple home energy optimization algorithm based on user behavior. We analyze variables related to vital signs to establish users’ comfort and tranquility thresholds. We statistically study the perception of security that users exhibit, differentiating between men and women, examining how it affects the person’s development at home, as well as the reactivity of the sensor algorithm, to optimize its performance. The proposed algorithm is analyzed under certain performance metrics, showing an improvement of 15% over a sensor network under the same conditions. We look at and quantify the usefulness of accurate alerts on each sensor and how it reflects in the users’ perceptions (for men and women separately). This study analyzes a simple, low-cost, and easy-to-implement home-based sensor network optimized with an adaptive energy optimization algorithm to improve the lives of older adults, which is capable of sending alerts of possible accidents or intruders with the highest efficiency.

Efficient Index Modulation-Based MIMO OFDM Data Transmission and Detection for V2V Highly Dispersive Channels

2023 , Del-Puerto-Flores, J. Alberto , Francisco R. Castillo-Soria , Gutierrez, Carlos A. , Fernando Peña-Campos

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication networks are based on vehicles that wirelessly exchange data, traffic congestion, and safety warnings between them. The design of new V2V systems requires increasingly energetically and spectrally efficient systems. Conventional multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems have been used successfully for the last decade. However, MIMO-OFDM systems need to be improved to face future communication networks in high-mobility environments. This article proposes an efficient index modulation (IM)-based MIMO-OFDM system for V2V channels. The proposed transmission system is evaluated in high Doppler-spread channels. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme reduces the required computational complexity in data detection and exhibits gains of up to 3 dB in bit error rate (BER) performance when compared to the conventional MIMO-OFDM system under the same conditions and parameters, along with achieving superior spectral efficiency. The results show the viability of implementing the proposed system in practical applications for high-transmission-rate V2V channels.
