In this article, we study an industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) network with a sink/gateway that is capable of decoding multiple transmissions via successive interference cancellation (SIC), and energy harvesting devices tasked with providing complete targets coverage of targets. In particular, we study a novel question: how to schedule the sensing and transmission of these devices to ensure complete target coverage over time? We outline a mixed integer linear program (MILP) and two heuristic solutions that jointly optimize the active time and transmit power of devices. Our simulation results show that the complete targets coverage lifetime of our heuristic solutions is within 80% of the optimal complete targets coverage lifetime, as computed by MILP.

Cheering and applause. her stories often centre on oppression and brutality. most famously, her 1985 novel, the handmaid s tale, a dystopian vision of america, in which women are enslaved, now an emmy award winning television series. there s an eye in your house. in this episode of this cultural life, the radio a programme, she reveals her formative influences and experiences, and how, even in high school, her creativity was clear. i put on a home economics opera. it was about fabrics. can you remember how it goes? # fabrics need a swim in the suds. # it makes them feel just like new. # plink plink, plink plink. laughter. i want to make sure the mics are recording us.
Oh, a mangling of the barcarolle from tales of hoffmann. hmm. it was about washing. right. can you remember how it goes? # fabrics need a swim in the suds. # it makes them feel just like new. # plink plink, plink plink. it goes on from there. laughter. so, did you perform, as well? yes, of course. yeah? you were.? yes, i played orlon. 0k. yes, i performed, i directed. hmm. your next choice for this cultural life is reading sci fi in the cellar when you were supposed to be doing your homework, and especially reading george orwell. when did you first come across orwell, then? well, my dad liked science fiction because he was a scientist and he used to get a big kick out of it. hmm. so he had quite a collection. but i first read animal farm
