While the symbolic approach utilises very effective storage and access methods, like Multi-terminal Binary Decision Diagrams, the traditional explicit method of representing and solving the model using sparse matrices has many advantages, especially when we concired the flexibility of computing of different properties. We show and examine a compact representation of a very large transition matrix in the sparse form. The technique employs an effective method of compression, storage, and accessing of the matrix and is suitable for use in mutli-core CPU and GPU environments. Such large transition matrices consume a lot of space and cannot be considered as typical types of data for storage in database systems. Nevertheless, their storage and efficient access to them could be beneficial for solving of Markov models, so constructing specialised compression methods is obviously the way to go.00240nas a2200097   4500000000100000000000100001008004100002100002400043700001600067245005900083       2002                            d1 aTadeusz Czachórski1 aPiotr Pecka00aInternet and real-time performance: a web server model00249nas a2200097   4500000000100000000000100001008004100002100002200043700001600065245007000081       2006                            d1 aKrzysztof Grochla1 aPiotr Pecka00aThe Markov chain model of RED active queuing management algorithm00269nas a2200097   4500000000100000000000100001008004100002100002200043700001600065245009000081       2006                            d1 aKrzysztof Grochla1 aPiotr Pecka00aAnaliza wydajności mechanizmu RED za pomocą łańcuchów Markowa z czasem ciągłym00337nas a2200145   4500000000100000000000100001008004100002260001300043100001800056700002000074700001600094700002200110245004500132300001400177       2011                            d  bSpringer1 aMateusz Nowak1 aSławomir Nowak1 aPiotr Pecka1 aKrzysztof Grochla00aContent Identification in PI CAN Network  a164–17200888nas a2200145   4500000000100000000000100001008004100002260011200043100001800155700001600173700002400189245008300213300001400296520043200310       2010                            d  c1bInstitute of Theoretical and Applied Informatics of the Polish Academy of SciencesaGliwice, Bałtycka 51 aMateusz Nowak1 aPiotr Pecka1 aTadeusz Czachórski00aQoS management for multimedia traffic in synchronous slotted-ring OPS networks  a143–1523 aThe paper presents synchronous slotted-ring network with optical packet switching.

Pipelines are the most convenient ways to transport fluids (e.g., water, oil, and gas). However, leakage of fluids into the environment results in resource wastage (especially water, which is becoming a scarce resource) and environmental pollution (in the case of leakage of toxic fluids like oil and gas). Emerging technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Artificial Intelligence (AI), distributed computing, and cloud computing enable continuous monitoring of pipelines to detect leakages and corrosion on the pipeline. The main challenge with using battery-powered sensor nodes to monitor pipelines is the energy constraint, necessitating frequent battery replacement. Thus, there is a need to develop energy-saving mechanisms to prolong the lifetime of these sensor nodes. In this paper, we use the diffusion approximation modelling framework in which the data from the experimental testbed are used to model the dynamics of the battery's energy content and to estimate the mean and variance of the device's lifetime. The novelty in the proposed diffusion model of the battery of an IoT node is the introduction of multiple energy thresholds that split the energy state-space of the battery into multiple energy-saving regimes. As the battery discharges, the node gradually transitions into energy-saving regimes by reconfiguring some of its parameters to reduce energy consumption (sometimes at the cost of trading off some performance metrics). We investigate the impact of energy-saving regimes or the number of thresholds on the node's lifetime.</pre>

Replacing batteries in the case of large-scale IoT networks and nodes located in places that are hard to reach is very challenging and costly, requiring the design of IoT nodes that can operate for several years without the need for human intervention. One such example is the deployment of IoT nodes in large agricultural fields (for soil or crop monitoring) or a long-distance pipeline (for pipeline monitoring). This paper investigates the practical implications of imposing energy-saving thresholds on the energy performance metrics of green IoT nodes. We propose an energy packet-based model for the evaluation of the energy performance of a green IoT node with the possibility of switching the node to energy-saving regimes on the fly when the energy content of the ESS reaches defined thresholds. Configuring single or multiple thresholds improves the energy performance of the node significantly (e.g., increases the lifetime of the node and reduces the probability of service outage and energy wastage), and the value of the threshold(s) should be carefully chosen. The energy performance of the IoT node can also be improved by dimensioning the energy harvesting system to ensure that the node operates for several years without running out of energy (e.g., maximizing the lifetime of the nodes and minimising the probability of service outage and energy wastage).</p>

In particular, we investigate the impact of energy leakage from the Energy Storage System (ESS) on important energy performance metrics, such as service outage probability, the density of the lifetime of the node, and the time-dependent mean number of energy packets (EPs) in the ESS. Also, we explore various strategies that can be employed to compensate for the impact of energy losses due to energy leakage on the energy performance metrics. Specifically, we examine two potential strategies for improving the energy performance of the IoT nodes: (i) through increasing the energy generation rate of the energy harvesters (e.g., by adding additional solar panels or replacing the existing solar panels with more efficient ones that can produce more energy), and (ii) through reducing the energy consumption rate of the IoT node (e.g., by configuring ESS energy thresholds below which the nodes are forced to operate in low energy consumption states).</p>

Green IoT (G-IoT) frameworks address this challenge by combining energy-saving techniques with energy harvesting from ambient sources such as solar power. However, the intermittent nature of renewable energy and the non-ideal behavior of energy storage systems—such as energy leakage and capacity degradation—complicate reliable energy provisioning. This paper presents a novel Markovian framework for modelling the coupled dynamics of time-varying solar energy harvesting, time-dependent energy consumption, and state-dependent energy leakage in G-IoT systems. Unlike traditional steady-state models, our approach uses Discrete-Time Markov Chains (DTMCs) to capture the stochastic variability in both energy harvesting and consumption processes. We also introduce a refined leakage model in which the leakage rate is dynamically dependent on the stored energy level, enabling a more realistic characterization of energy losses due to energy leakage. Through extensive analytical evaluation, we examine how key parameters—such as storage capacity, leakage rate coefficient, and energy harvesting and consumption patterns—affect critical performance metrics, including the mean stored energy and energy-related service outage probability. Furthermore, we propose a parameter tuning strategy to optimize energy reliability and storage efficiency. The proposed model provides valuable insights for the design and optimization of robust, energy-aware IoT systems powered by renewable energy sources.</p>

We investigate, using a queueing model, how the introduction of CSMA in the communication between devices and the gate in LoRaWan may increase the probability of successful transmission. &nbsp;In the proposed model, customers (transmissions) are served by a multichannel station (gate), and the number of channels corresponds to the number of transmissions that can be performed in parallel. We introduce a queueing model with multiple attempts to find a free channel and investigate their impact on transmission throughput and reliability.<br />
