First, an algorithm is presented to detect boundary cycles of 1-coverage holes. The algorithm consists of two components, named boundary edge detection and boundary cycle detection. Then, the 1-coverage hole detection algorithm is extended to k-coverage hole scenarios. A coverage degree reduction scheme is proposed to find an independent covering set of nodes in the covered region of the target field and to reduce the coverage degree by one through sleeping those nodes. Repeat the 1-coverage hole detection algorithm and the higher order of coverage holes can be found. By iterating the above steps for k-1 times, the boundary edges and boundary cycles of all k-coverage holes can be discovered. Finally, the proposed algorithm is compared with a location-based coverage hole detection algorithm. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm can accurately detect over 99% coverage holes.展开更多

文摘Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs)are one of the best technologies of the 21st century and have seen tremendous growth over the past decade.Much work has been put into its development in various aspects such as architectural attention,routing protocols,location exploration,time exploration,etc.This research aims to optimize routing protocols and address the challenges arising from conflicting objectives in WSN environments,such as balancing energy consumption,ensuring routing reliability,distributing network load,and selecting the shortest path.Many optimization techniques have shown success in achieving one or two objectives but struggle to achieve the right balance between multiple conflicting objectives.To address this gap,this paper proposes an innovative approach that integrates Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)with a fuzzy multi-objective framework.The proposed method uses fuzzy logic to effectively control multiple competing objectives to represent its major development beyond existing methods that only deal with one or two objectives.The search efficiency is improved by particle swarm optimization(PSO)which overcomes the large computational requirements that serve as a major drawback of existing methods.The PSO algorithm is adapted for WSNs to optimize routing paths based on fuzzy multi-objective fitness.The fuzzy logic framework uses predefined membership functions and rule-based reasoning to adjust routing decisions.These adjustments influence PSO’s velocity updates,ensuring continuous adaptation under varying network conditions.The proposed multi-objective PSO-fuzzy model is evaluated using NS-3 simulation.The results show that the proposed model is capable of improving the network lifetime by 15.2%–22.4%,increasing the stabilization time by 18.7%–25.5%,and increasing the residual energy by 8.9%–16.2% compared to the state-of-the-art techniques.The proposed model also achieves a 15%–24% reduction in load variance,demonstrating balanced routing and extended network lifetime.Furthermore,analysis using p-values obtained from multiple performance measures(p-values<0.05)showed that the proposed approach outperforms with a high level of confidence.The proposed multi-objective PSO-fuzzy model provides a robust and scalable solution to improve the performance of WSNs.It allows stable performance in networks with 100 to 300 nodes,under varying node densities,and across different base station placements.Computational complexity analysis has shown that the method fits well into large-scale WSNs and that the addition of fuzzy logic controls the power usage to make the system practical for real-world use.

In addition to the basic data acquisition and processing functions, the gateway supports the Bluetooth-based local interface and the general packet radio service （GPRS）-based remote interface.

文摘Aimed at the difficulties in accurately, comprehensively and systematically evaluating the reliability of industrial wireless sensor networks （WSNs）, a time-evolving state transition-Monte Carlo （TEST-MC） evaluation method and a novel network function value representation method are proposed to evaluate the reliability of the IWSNs. First, the adjacency matrix method is used to characterize three typical topologies of WSNs including the mesh network, tree network and ribbon network. Secondly, the network function value method is used to evaluate the network connectivity, and the TEST-MC evaluation method is used to evaluate network reliability and availability. Finally, the variations in the reliability, connectivity and availability of these three topologies are presented. Simulation results show that the proposed method can quickly analyze the reliability of the networks containing typical WSN topologies, which provides an effective method for the comprehensive and accurate evaluation of the reliability of WSNs.
文摘A localization algorithm using distance and angle information is proposed in wireless sensor networks. Assuming that node axial orientations are unknown, all angles are measured to calculate the angle differences between two nodes viewed by the third one. Then, localization problems are formulated as convex optimization ones and all geometric relationships among different nodes in the communication range are transformed into linear or quadratic constraints. If all measurements are accurate, the localization problem can be formulated as linear programming （LP）. Otherwise, by incorporating auxiliary variables, it can be regarded as quadratic programming （QP）. Simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

文摘This study proposes a novel time-synchronization protocol inspired by stochastic gradient algorithms.The clock model of each network node in this synchronizer is configured as a generic adaptive filter where different stochastic gradient algorithms can be adopted for adaptive clock frequency adjustments.The study analyzes the pairwise synchronization behavior of the protocol and proves the generalized convergence of the synchronization error and clock frequency.A novel closed-form expression is also derived for a generalized asymptotic error variance steady state.Steady and convergence analyses are then presented for the synchronization,with frequency adaptations done using least mean square(LMS),the Newton search,the gradient descent(GraDes),the normalized LMS(N-LMS),and the Sign-Data LMS algorithms.Results obtained from real-time experiments showed a better performance of our protocols as compared to the Average Proportional-Integral Synchronization Protocol(AvgPISync)regarding the impact of quantization error on synchronization accuracy,precision,and convergence time.This generalized approach to time synchronization allows flexibility in selecting a suitable protocol for different wireless sensor network applications.
文摘Underwater wireless sensor networks(UWSNs)have emerged as a new paradigm of real-time organized systems,which are utilized in a diverse array of scenarios to manage the underwater environment surrounding them.One of the major challenges that these systems confront is topology control via clustering,which reduces the overload of wireless communications within a network and ensures low energy consumption and good scalability.This study aimed to present a clustering technique in which the clustering process and cluster head(CH)selection are performed based on the Markov decision process and deep reinforcement learning(DRL).DRL algorithm selects the CH by maximizing the defined reward function.Subsequently,the sensed data are collected by the CHs and then sent to the autonomous underwater vehicles.In the final phase,the consumed energy by each sensor is calculated,and its residual energy is updated.Then,the autonomous underwater vehicle performs all clustering and CH selection operations.This procedure persists until the point of cessation when the sensor’s power has been reduced to such an extent that no node can become a CH.Through analysis of the findings from this investigation and their comparison with alternative frameworks,the implementation of this method can be used to control the cluster size and the number of CHs,which ultimately augments the energy usage of nodes and prolongs the lifespan of the network.Our simulation results illustrate that the suggested methodology surpasses the conventional low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy,the distance-and energy-constrained K-means clustering scheme,and the vector-based forward protocol and is viable for deployment in an actual operational environment.
文摘Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) offer an attractive solution to many environmental,security,and process monitoring problems.However,one barrier to their fuller adoption is the need to supply electrical power over extended periods of time without the need for dedicated wiring.Energy harvesting provides a potential solution to this problem in many applications.This paper reviews the characteristics and energy requirements of typical sensor network nodes,assesses a range of potential ambient energy sources,and outlines the characteristics of a wide range of energy conversion devices.It then proposes a method to compare these diverse sources and conversion mechanisms in terms of their normalised power density.

文摘For wireless sensor networks, a simple and accurate coordinate-free k-coverage hole detection scheme is proposed. First, an algorithm is presented to detect boundary cycles of 1-coverage holes. The algorithm consists of two components, named boundary edge detection and boundary cycle detection. Then, the 1-coverage hole detection algorithm is extended to k-coverage hole scenarios. A coverage degree reduction scheme is proposed to find an independent covering set of nodes in the covered region of the target field and to reduce the coverage degree by one through sleeping those nodes. Repeat the 1-coverage hole detection algorithm and the higher order of coverage holes can be found. By iterating the above steps for k-1 times, the boundary edges and boundary cycles of all k-coverage holes can be discovered. Finally, the proposed algorithm is compared with a location-based coverage hole detection algorithm. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm can accurately detect over 99% coverage holes.

文摘To avoid uneven energy consuming in wireless sen- sor networks, a clustering routing model is proposed based on a Bayesian game. In the model, Harsanyi transformation is introduced to convert a static game of incomplete information to the static game of complete but imperfect information. In addition, the existence of Bayesian nash equilibrium is proved. A clustering routing algorithm is also designed according to the proposed model, both cluster head distribution and residual energy are considered in the design of the algorithm. Simulation results show that the algorithm can balance network load, save energy and prolong network lifetime effectively.
