Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have the characteristics of large-scale deployment, flexible networking, and many applications. They are important parts of wireless communication networks. However, due to limited energy supply, the development of WSNs is greatly restricted. Wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs) transform the distributed energy around the environment into usable electricity through energy collection technology. In this work, a two-phase scheme is proposed to improve the energy management efficiency for WRSNs. In the first phase, we designed an annulus virtual force based particle swarm optimization (AVFPSO) algorithm for area coverage. It adopts the multi-parameter joint optimization method to improve the efficiency of the algorithm. In the second phase, a queuing game-based energy supply (QGES) algorithm was designed. It converts energy supply and consumption into network service. By solving the game equilibrium of the model, the optimal energy distribution strategy can be obtained. The simulation results show that our scheme improves the efficiency of coverage and energy supply, and then extends the lifetime of WSN.

The aim of this study is the joint optimization of the transportation and spare parts inventory policies in a reverse logistics (RL) network designed for End of Life (EOL) television (TV) recyling. Besides recycling, Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) recovered from EOL TVs are used to meet the spare PCB demand. In order to model this RL network with its disassembly, transportation and spare parts inventory related aspects, a discrete event simulation (DES) model has been developed in detail using Arena simulation software. Next, Arena OptQuest has been used to propose optimum number and size of trucks together with the optimum reorder (s) and order quantity (Q) levels for the spare PCBs based on the minimization of total cost which includes inventory holding, PCB recovery, new PCB acquisition, truck amortization and operating costs.
