Heuristically accelerated reinforcement learning for channel assignment in wireless sensor networks

Mohamed Sahraoui, Azeddine Bilami, Abdelmalik Taleb-Ahmed

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), multi-channel communication represents an attractive field due to its advantage in improving throughput and delivery rate. However, the major challenge that faces WSNs is the energy constraint. To overcome the channel assignment problem in an energy-efficient way…

Optimization of Reactive-Ion Etching (RIE) parameters to maximize the lateral etch rate of silicon using SF6/N2 gas mixture: An alternative to etching Si in MEMS with Au components

Munique Kazar Mendes, Cécile Ghouila-Houri, Serria Hammami, Thomas Arnoult, Philippe Pernod, Abdelkrim Talbi

In this work, the effects of the N2 addition to the SF6 plasma used in the isotropic silicon etching of Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with Au components are investigated. A four-variables Doehlert design was implemented for optimizing the etching parameters (power, pressure, gas flow rate,…
