Sensor nodes are energy-constrained devices. Their energy consumption is typically correlated with the amount of data collection. The purpose of data aggregation is to reduce data transmission, lower energy consumption, and reduce network congestion. For large-scale WSN, data aggregation can greatly improve network efficiency. However, as many heterogeneous data is poured into a specific area at the same time, it sometimes causes data loss and then results in incompleteness and irregularity of production data. This paper proposes an information processing model that encompasses the Energy-Conserving Data Aggregation Algorithm (ECDA) and the Efficient Message Reception Algorithm (EMRA). ECDA is divided into two stages, Energy conservation based on the global cost and Data aggregation based on ant colony optimization. The EMRA comprises the Polling Message Reception Algorithm (PMRA), the Shortest Time Message Reception Algorithm (STMRA), and the Specific Condition Message Reception Algorithm (SCMRA). These algorithms are not only available for the regularity and directionality of sensor information transmission, but also satisfy the different requirements in small factory environments. To compare with the recent HPSO-ILEACH and E-PEGASIS, DCDA can effectively reduce energy consumption. Experimental results show that STMRA consumes 1.3 times the time of SCMRA. Both optimization algorithms exhibit higher time efficiency than PMRA. Furthermore, this paper also evaluates these three algorithms using AHP.展开更多

The smart meters deployed on the user side of the smart grid collect the users' power usage data on a regular basis and upload it to the control center to complete the smart grid data acquisition. The control center can evaluate the supply and demand of the power grid through aggregated data from users and then dynamically adjust the power supply and price, etc. However, since the grid data collected from users may disclose the user's electricity usage habits and daily activities, privacy concern has become a critical issue in smart grid data aggregation. Most of the existing privacy-preserving data collection schemes for smart grid adopt homomorphic encryption or randomization techniques which are either impractical because of the high computation overhead or unrealistic for requiring a trusted third party.展开更多

It is our design goal to efficiently utilize the energy of each sensor node to extend its lifetime, so as to prolong the lifetime of the whole WSN. In this paper, we propose a path-based data aggregation scheme （PBDAS） for grid-based wireless sensor networks. In order to extend the lifetime of a WSN, we construct a grid infrastructure by partitioning the whole sensor field into a grid of cells. Each cell has a head responsible for aggregating its own data with the data sensed by the others in the same cell and then transmitting out. In order to efficiently and rapidly transmit the data to the base station （BS）, we link each cell head to form a chain. Each cell head on the chain takes turn becoming the chain leader responsible for transmitting data to the BS. Aggregated data moves from head to head along the chain, and finally the chain leader transmits to the BS. In PBDAS, only the cell heads need to transmit data toward the BS. Therefore, the data transmissions to the BS substantially decrease. Besides, the cell heads and chain leader are designated in turn according to the energy level so that the energy depletion of nodes is evenly distributed. Simulation results show that the proposed PBDAS extends the lifetime of sensor nodes, so as to make the lifetime of the whole network longer.展开更多

For network security issues,a stateful public key based SDAM( secure data aggregation model) is proposed for wireless sensor networks( WSNs),which employs a new stateful public key encryption to provide efficient end-to-end security. Moreover,the security aggregation model will not impose any bound on the aggregation function property,so as to realize the low cost and high security level at the same time.展开更多

The characteristics of on-off attacks are first studied and monitoring mechanisms are then designed for sensor nodes. A Fast Detection and Slow Recovery (FDSR) algorithm is proposed to prevent on-off attacks by observing the behaviors of the nodes and computing reputations. A recovery mechanism is designed to isolate malicious nodes by identifying the new roles of nodes and updating the grid tree. In the experiments, some situations of on-off attacks are simulated and the results are compared with other approaches. The experimental results indicate that our approach can detect malicious nodes effectively and guarantee secure data aggregation with acceptable energy consumption.展开更多

Due to the fusion of data items sourced at different nodes into a single one during in-network processing, the sanctity of the aggregated data needs to be ensured. Especially, the data integrity of the aggregated result is critical as any malicious update to it can jeopardize not one, but many sensor readings. In this paper, we analyse three different approaches to providing integrity support for SDA in WSNs. The first one is traditional MAC, in which each leaf node and intermediate node share a key with parent (symmetric key). The second is aggregate MAC (AMAC), in which a base station shares a unique key with all the other sensor nodes. The third is homomorphic MAC (Homo MAC) that is purely symmetric key-based approach. These approaches exhibit diverse trade-off in resource consumption and security assumptions. Adding together to that, we also propose a probabilistic and improved variant of homomorphic MAC that improves the security strength for secure data aggregation in WSNs. We carry out simulations in TinyOS environment to experimentally evaluate the impact of each of these on the resource consumption in WSNs.展开更多

If each node sends data to the base station, energy will be wasted and thus the network energy will be depleted quickly. Data aggregation is an important paradigm for compressing data so that the energy of the network is spent efficiently. In this paper, a novel data aggregation algorithm called Redundancy Elimination for Accurate Data Aggregation (READA) has been proposed. By exploiting the range of spatial correlations of data in the network, READA applies a grouping and compression mechanism to remove duplicate data in the aggregated set of data to be sent to the base station without largely losing the accuracy of the final aggregated data. One peculiarity of READA is that it uses a prediction model derived from cached values to confirm whether any outlier is actually an event which has occurred. From the various simulations conducted, it was observed that in READA the accuracy of data has been highly preserved taking into consideration the energy dissipated for aggregating the展开更多

文摘By integrating the traditional power grid with information and communication technology, smart grid achieves dependable, efficient, and flexible grid data processing. The smart meters deployed on the user side of the smart grid collect the users' power usage data on a regular basis and upload it to the control center to complete the smart grid data acquisition. The control center can evaluate the supply and demand of the power grid through aggregated data from users and then dynamically adjust the power supply and price, etc. However, since the grid data collected from users may disclose the user's electricity usage habits and daily activities, privacy concern has become a critical issue in smart grid data aggregation. Most of the existing privacy-preserving data collection schemes for smart grid adopt homomorphic encryption or randomization techniques which are either impractical because of the high computation overhead or unrealistic for requiring a trusted third party.

文摘In scenarios of real-time data collection of long-term deployed Wireless Sensor Networks （WSNs）, low-latency data collection with long net- work lifetime becomes a key issue. In this paper, we present a data aggregation scheduling with guaran- teed lifetime and efficient latency in WSNs. We first Construct a Guaranteed Lifetime Mininmm Ra- dius Data Aggregation Tree （GLMRDAT） which is conducive to reduce scheduling latency while pro- viding a guaranteed network lifetime, and then de-sign a Greedy Scheduling algorithM （GSM） based on finding the nmzximum independent set in conflict graph to schedule he transmission of nodes in the aggregation tree. Finally, simulations show that our proposed approach not only outperfonm the state-of-the-art solutions in terms of schedule latency, but also provides longer and guaranteed network lifetilre.

文摘Wireless sensor networks(WSNs)consist of a great deal of sensor nodes with limited power,computation,storage,sensing and communication capabilities.Data aggregation is a very important technique,which is designed to substantially reduce the communication overhead and energy expenditure of sensor node during the process of data collection in a WSNs.However,privacy-preservation is more challenging especially in data aggregation,where the aggregators need to perform some aggregation operations on sensing data it received.We present a state-of-the art survey of privacy-preserving data aggregation in WSNs.At first,we classify the existing privacy-preserving data aggregation schemes into different categories by the core privacy-preserving techniques used in each scheme.And then compare and contrast different algorithms on the basis of performance measures such as the privacy protection ability,communication consumption,power consumption and data accuracy etc.Furthermore,based on the existing work,we also discuss a number of open issues which may intrigue the interest of researchers for future work.

文摘With the widespread data collection and processing,privacy-preserving machine learning has become increasingly important in addressing privacy risks related to individuals.Support vector machine(SVM)is one of the most elementary learning models of machine learning.Privacy issues surrounding SVM classifier training have attracted increasing attention.In this paper,we investigate Differential Privacy-compliant Federated Machine Learning with Dimensionality Reduction,called FedDPDR-DPML,which greatly improves data utility while providing strong privacy guarantees.Considering in distributed learning scenarios,multiple participants usually hold unbalanced or small amounts of data.Therefore,FedDPDR-DPML enables multiple participants to collaboratively learn a global model based on weighted model averaging and knowledge aggregation and then the server distributes the global model to each participant to improve local data utility.Aiming at high-dimensional data,we adopt differential privacy in both the principal component analysis(PCA)-based dimensionality reduction phase and SVM classifiers training phase,which improves model accuracy while achieving strict differential privacy protection.Besides,we train Differential privacy(DP)-compliant SVM classifiers by adding noise to the objective function itself,thus leading to better data utility.Extensive experiments on three high-dimensional datasets demonstrate that FedDPDR-DPML can achieve high accuracy while ensuring strong privacy protection.

文摘The Internet of Things(IoT)has profoundly impacted our lives and has greatly revolutionized our lifestyle.The terminal devices in an IoT data aggregation application sense real-time data for the remote cloud server to achieve intelligent decisions.However,the high frequency of collecting user data will raise people concerns about personal privacy.In recent years,many privacy-preserving data aggregation schemes have been proposed.Unfortunately,most existing schemes cannot support either arbitrary aggregation functions,or dynamic user group management,or fault tolerance.In this paper,we propose an efficient and privacy-preserving data aggregation scheme.In the scheme,we design a lightweight encryption method to protect the user privacy by using a ring topology and a random location sequence.On this basis,the proposed scheme supports not only arbitrary aggregation functions,but also flexible dynamic user management.Furthermore,the scheme achieves faulttolerant capabilities by utilizing a future data buffering mechanism.Security analysis reveals that the scheme can achieve the desired security properties,and experimental evaluation results show the scheme's efficiency in terms of computational and communication overhead.

文摘Sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network （WSN） are typically powered by batteries, thus the energy is constrained. It is our design goal to efficiently utilize the energy of each sensor node to extend its lifetime, so as to prolong the lifetime of the whole WSN. In this paper, we propose a path-based data aggregation scheme （PBDAS） for grid-based wireless sensor networks. In order to extend the lifetime of a WSN, we construct a grid infrastructure by partitioning the whole sensor field into a grid of cells. Each cell has a head responsible for aggregating its own data with the data sensed by the others in the same cell and then transmitting out. In order to efficiently and rapidly transmit the data to the base station （BS）, we link each cell head to form a chain. Each cell head on the chain takes turn becoming the chain leader responsible for transmitting data to the BS. Aggregated data moves from head to head along the chain, and finally the chain leader transmits to the BS. In PBDAS, only the cell heads need to transmit data toward the BS. Therefore, the data transmissions to the BS substantially decrease. Besides, the cell heads and chain leader are designated in turn according to the energy level so that the energy depletion of nodes is evenly distributed. Simulation results show that the proposed PBDAS extends the lifetime of sensor nodes, so as to make the lifetime of the whole network longer.

文摘Data aggregation technology reduces traffic overhead of wireless sensor network and extends effective working time of the network,yet continued operation of wireless sensor networks increases the probability of aggregation nodes being captured and probability of aggregated data being tampered.Thus it will seriously affect the security performance of the network. For network security issues,a stateful public key based SDAM( secure data aggregation model) is proposed for wireless sensor networks( WSNs),which employs a new stateful public key encryption to provide efficient end-to-end security. Moreover,the security aggregation model will not impose any bound on the aggregation function property,so as to realize the low cost and high security level at the same time.

文摘With the popularity of sensor-rich mobile devices,mobile crowdsensing(MCS)has emerged as an effective method for data collection and processing.However,MCS platform usually need workers’precise locations for optimal task execution and collect sensing data from workers,which raises severe concerns of privacy leakage.Trying to preserve workers’location and sensing data from the untrusted MCS platform,a differentially private data aggregation method based on worker partition and location obfuscation(DP-DAWL method)is proposed in the paper.DP-DAWL method firstly use an improved K-means algorithm to divide workers into groups and assign different privacy budget to the group according to group size(the number of workers).Then each worker’s location is obfuscated and his/her sensing data is perturbed by adding Laplace noise before uploading to the platform.In the stage of data aggregation,DP-DAWL method adopts an improved Kalman filter algorithm to filter out the added noise(including both added noise of sensing data and the system noise in the sensing process).Through using optimal estimation of noisy aggregated sensing data,the platform can finally gain better utility of aggregated data while preserving workers’privacy.Extensive experiments on the synthetic datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘In order to avoid internal attacks during data aggregation in wireless sensor networks, a grid-based network architecture fit for monitoring is designed and the algorithms for network division, initialization and grid tree construction are presented. The characteristics of on-off attacks are first studied and monitoring mechanisms are then designed for sensor nodes. A Fast Detection and Slow Recovery (FDSR) algorithm is proposed to prevent on-off attacks by observing the behaviors of the nodes and computing reputations. A recovery mechanism is designed to isolate malicious nodes by identifying the new roles of nodes and updating the grid tree. In the experiments, some situations of on-off attacks are simulated and the results are compared with other approaches. The experimental results indicate that our approach can detect malicious nodes effectively and guarantee secure data aggregation with acceptable energy consumption.

文摘As a combination of edge computing and artificial intelligence,edge intelligence has become a promising technique and provided its users with a series of fast,precise,and customized services.In edge intelligence,when learning agents are deployed on the edge side,the data aggregation from the end side to the designated edge devices is an important research topic.Considering the various importance of end devices,this paper studies the weighted data aggregation problem in a single hop end-to-edge communication network.Firstly,to make sure all the end devices with various weights are fairly treated in data aggregation,a distributed end-to-edge cooperative scheme is proposed.Then,to handle the massive contention on the wireless channel caused by end devices,a multi-armed bandit(MAB)algorithm is designed to help the end devices find their most appropriate update rates.Diffe-rent from the traditional data aggregation works,combining the MAB enables our algorithm a higher efficiency in data aggregation.With a theoretical analysis,we show that the efficiency of our algorithm is asymptotically optimal.Comparative experiments with previous works are also conducted to show the strength of our algorithm.
文摘Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) typically use in-network processing to reduce the communication overhead. Due to the fusion of data items sourced at different nodes into a single one during in-network processing, the sanctity of the aggregated data needs to be ensured. Especially, the data integrity of the aggregated result is critical as any malicious update to it can jeopardize not one, but many sensor readings. In this paper, we analyse three different approaches to providing integrity support for SDA in WSNs. The first one is traditional MAC, in which each leaf node and intermediate node share a key with parent (symmetric key). The second is aggregate MAC (AMAC), in which a base station shares a unique key with all the other sensor nodes. The third is homomorphic MAC (Homo MAC) that is purely symmetric key-based approach. These approaches exhibit diverse trade-off in resource consumption and security assumptions. Adding together to that, we also propose a probabilistic and improved variant of homomorphic MAC that improves the security strength for secure data aggregation in WSNs. We carry out simulations in TinyOS environment to experimentally evaluate the impact of each of these on the resource consumption in WSNs.
文摘In monitoring systems, multiple sensor nodes can detect a single target of interest simultaneously and the data collected are usually highly correlated and redundant. If each node sends data to the base station, energy will be wasted and thus the network energy will be depleted quickly. Data aggregation is an important paradigm for compressing data so that the energy of the network is spent efficiently. In this paper, a novel data aggregation algorithm called Redundancy Elimination for Accurate Data Aggregation (READA) has been proposed. By exploiting the range of spatial correlations of data in the network, READA applies a grouping and compression mechanism to remove duplicate data in the aggregated set of data to be sent to the base station without largely losing the accuracy of the final aggregated data. One peculiarity of READA is that it uses a prediction model derived from cached values to confirm whether any outlier is actually an event which has occurred. From the various simulations conducted, it was observed that in READA the accuracy of data has been highly preserved taking into consideration the energy dissipated for aggregating the
