Furthermore, some nodes in heterogeneous wireless multi-hop networksmay be malicious or selfish nodes which can easily lead to link attacks. A novel routing protocol called trust-based secure routing protocol with auxiliary of nodes＇ location information （TSRAL） is proposed for the establishment of a secure routing protocol with a lower overhead for HWMNs which combines the location information and trust value of nodes to select the next forwarding nodes. The destination node selects an optimal path from multiple paths according to the total trust value and the hop number of routes. Simulation results demonstrate that TSRAL can not only reduce the number of hops and data packets being broadcast in the process of routing but also ensure the safety of the route.展开更多

In this paper, we present a state-based channel capacity perception scheme to provide statistical Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees under a medium or high traffic load for IEEE 802.11 wireless multi-hop networks. The proposed scheme first perceives the state of the wireless link from the MAC retransmission information and extends this information to calculate the wireless channel capacity, particularly under a saturated traffic load, on the basis of the interference among flows and the link state in the wireless multi-hop networks. Finally, the adaptive optimal control algorithm allocates a network resource and forwards the data packet by taking into consideration the channel capacity deployments in multi-terminal or multi-hop mesh networks. Extensive computer simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme can achieve better performance in terms of packet delivery ratio and network throughput compared to the existing capacity prediction schemes.展开更多

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In order to solve the problems of short network lifetime and high data transmission delay in data gathering for wireless sensor network(WSN)caused by uneven energy consumption among nodes,a hybrid energy efficient clustering routing base on firefly and pigeon-inspired algorithm(FF-PIA)is proposed to optimise the data transmission path.After having obtained the optimal number of cluster head node(CH),its result might be taken as the basis of producing the initial population of FF-PIA algorithm.The L′evy flight mechanism and adaptive inertia weighting are employed in the algorithm iteration to balance the contradiction between the global search and the local search.Moreover,a Gaussian perturbation strategy is applied to update the optimal solution,ensuring the algorithm can jump out of the local optimal solution.And,in the WSN data gathering,a onedimensional signal reconstruction algorithm model is developed by dilated convolution and residual neural networks(DCRNN).We conducted experiments on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA)dataset.It shows that the DCRNN modeldriven data reconstruction algorithm improves the reconstruction accuracy as well as the reconstruction time performance.FF-PIA and DCRNN clustering routing co-simulation reveals that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the performance in extending the network lifetime and reducing data transmission delay.

文摘This paper studies the problem of jamming decision-making for dynamic multiple communication links in wireless communication networks(WCNs).We propose a novel jamming channel allocation and power decision-making(JCAPD)approach based on multi-agent deep reinforcement learning(MADRL).In high-dynamic and multi-target aviation communication environments,the rapid changes in channels make it difficult for sensors to accurately capture instantaneous channel state information.This poses a challenge to make centralized jamming decisions with single-agent deep reinforcement learning(DRL)approaches.In response,we design a distributed multi-agent decision architecture(DMADA).We formulate multi-jammer resource allocation as a multiagent Markov decision process(MDP)and propose a fingerprint-based double deep Q-Network(FBDDQN)algorithm for solving it.Each jammer functions as an agent that interacts with the environment in this framework.Through the design of a reasonable reward and training mechanism,our approach enables jammers to achieve distributed cooperation,significantly improving the jamming success rate while considering jamming power cost,and reducing the transmission rate of links.Our experimental results show the FBDDQN algorithm is superior to the baseline methods.

文摘Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN)have gained significant attention over recent years due to their extensive applications in various domains such as environmentalmonitoring,healthcare systems,industrial automation,and smart cities.However,such networks are inherently vulnerable to different types of attacks because they operate in open environments with limited resources and constrained communication capabilities.Thepaper addresses challenges related to modeling and analysis of wireless sensor networks and their susceptibility to attacks.Its objective is to create versatile modeling tools capable of detecting attacks against network devices and identifying anomalies caused either by legitimate user errors or malicious activities.A proposed integrated approach for data collection,preprocessing,and analysis in WSN outlines a series of steps applicable throughout both the design phase and operation stage.This ensures effective detection of attacks and anomalies within WSNs.An introduced attackmodel specifies potential types of unauthorized network layer attacks targeting network nodes,transmitted data,and services offered by the WSN.Furthermore,a graph-based analytical framework was designed to detect attacks by evaluating real-time events from network nodes and determining if an attack is underway.Additionally,a simulation model based on sequences of imperative rules defining behaviors of both regular and compromised nodes is presented.Overall,this technique was experimentally verified using a segment of a WSN embedded in a smart city infrastructure,simulating a wormhole attack.Results demonstrate the viability and practical significance of the technique for enhancing future information security measures.Validation tests confirmed high levels of accuracy and efficiency when applied specifically to detecting wormhole attacks targeting routing protocols in WSNs.Precision and recall rates averaged above the benchmark value of 0.95,thus validating the broad applicability of the proposed models across varied scenarios.

文摘Video distribution strategies in wireless edge networks can significantly reduce video transmission latency and system energy consumption,meeting emerging video services'high-rate,low-latency requirements.However,channel condition variability and dynamics caused by user-to-base-station distance and user mobility affect the Quality of Experience(QoE).To address this problem,this paper examines adaptive video streaming strategies under dynamic channel conditions to optimize user Qo E.Specifically,to achieve centralized control of wireless edge networks and simplify the management and scheduling of communication resources,Software-Defined Networking(SDN)is adopted within the wireless edge network,and an SDN-based edge caching architecture is proposed.Based on the virtual queue of users receiving video and combining various video factors to quantify the user QoE metric,an optimization problem is established to maximize the time-averaged total user Qo E.Subsequently,an adaptive video distribution algorithm is designed,and the optimal video quality selection strategy and power allocation strategy are obtained in conjunction with Lyapunov optimization theory.Therefore,simulation results indicate that our approach significantly reduces video playback interruptions and enhances user Qo E.

文摘Network virtualization is the development trend and inevitable requirement of hybrid wireless sensor networks(HWSNs).Low mapping efficiency and service interruption caused by mobility seriously affect the reliability of sensing tasks and ultimately affect the long-term revenue of the infrastructure providers.In response to these problems,this paper proposes an efficient virtual network embedding algorithm with a reliable service guarantee.Based on the topological attributes of nodes,a method for evaluating the physical network resource importance degree is proposed,and the nodes with rich resources are selected to improve embedding efficiency.Then,a method for evaluating the physical network reliability degree is proposed to predict the probability of mobile sensors providing uninterrupted services.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves the acceptance rate of virtual sensor networks(VSN)embedding requests and the long-term revenue of the infrastructure providers.
文摘A Wireless Sensor Network(WSN)comprises a series of spatially distributed autonomous devices,each equipped with sophisticated sensors.These sensors play a crucial role in monitoring diverse environmental conditions such as light intensity,air pressure,temperature,humidity,wind,etc.These sensors are generally deployed in harsh and hostile conditions;hence they suffer from different kinds of faults.However,identifying faults in WSN data remains a complex task,as existing fault detection methods,including centralized,distributed,and hybrid approaches,rely on the spatio⁃temporal correlation among sensor nodes.Moreover,existing techniques predominantly leverage classification⁃based machine learning methods to discern the fault state within WSN.In this paper,we propose a regression⁃based bagging method to detect the faults in the network.The proposed bagging method is consisted of GRU(Gated Recurrent Unit)and Prophet model.Bagging allows weak learners to combine efforts to outperform a strong learner,hence it is appropriate to use in WSN.The proposed bagging method was first trained at the base station,then they were deployed at each SN(Sensor Node).Most of the common faults in WSN,such as transient,intermittent and permanent faults,were considered.The validity of the proposed scheme was tested using a trusted online published dataset.Using experimental studies,compared to the latest state⁃of⁃the⁃art machine learning models,the effectiveness of the proposed model is shown for fault detection.Performance evaluation in terms of false positive rate,accuracy,and false alarm rate shows the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

文摘Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs)play a critical role in automated border surveillance systems,where continuous monitoring is essential.However,limited energy resources in sensor nodes lead to frequent network failures and reduced coverage over time.To address this issue,this paper presents an innovative energy-efficient protocol based on deep Q-learning(DQN),specifically developed to prolong the operational lifespan of WSNs used in border surveillance.By harnessing the adaptive power of DQN,the proposed protocol dynamically adjusts node activity and communication patterns.This approach ensures optimal energy usage while maintaining high coverage,connectivity,and data accuracy.The proposed system is modeled with 100 sensor nodes deployed over a 1000 m×1000 m area,featuring a strategically positioned sink node.Our method outperforms traditional approaches,achieving significant enhancements in network lifetime and energy utilization.Through extensive simulations,it is observed that the network lifetime increases by 9.75%,throughput increases by 8.85%and average delay decreases by 9.45%in comparison to the similar recent protocols.It demonstrates the robustness and efficiency of our protocol in real-world scenarios,highlighting its potential to revolutionize border surveillance operations.

文摘To further increase the throughput of wireless multi-hop networks,a distributed scheduling method is proposed,which takes physical interference model into account.It is assumed that nodes in the network can perform physical carrier sensing,and the carrier sensing range can be set to different values.In the traditional carrier sensing mechanism,the carrier sensing range is computed under the protocol interference model,which is not accurate.Here the optimal carrier sensing range with physical interference model is achieved.Each sending node implements the distributed approach in three phases at each time slot,and all the concurrent transmissions are interference free.Good performance can be achieved under this scheduling approach.The approximation ratio of the distributed method to the optimal one is also proved.

文摘Wireless sensor network deployment optimization is a classic NP-hard problem and a popular topic in academic research.However,the current research on wireless sensor network deployment problems uses overly simplistic models,and there is a significant gap between the research results and actual wireless sensor networks.Some scholars have now modeled data fusion networks to make them more suitable for practical applications.This paper will explore the deployment problem of a stochastic data fusion wireless sensor network(SDFWSN),a model that reflects the randomness of environmental monitoring and uses data fusion techniques widely used in actual sensor networks for information collection.The deployment problem of SDFWSN is modeled as a multi-objective optimization problem.The network life cycle,spatiotemporal coverage,detection rate,and false alarm rate of SDFWSN are used as optimization objectives to optimize the deployment of network nodes.This paper proposes an enhanced multi-objective mongoose optimization algorithm(EMODMOA)to solve the deployment problem of SDFWSN.First,to overcome the shortcomings of the DMOA algorithm,such as its low convergence and tendency to get stuck in a local optimum,an encircling and hunting strategy is introduced into the original algorithm to propose the EDMOA algorithm.The EDMOA algorithm is designed as the EMODMOA algorithm by selecting reference points using the K-Nearest Neighbor(KNN)algorithm.To verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm,the EMODMOA algorithm was tested at CEC 2020 and achieved good results.In the SDFWSN deployment problem,the algorithm was compared with the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II(NSGAII),Multiple Objective Particle Swarm Optimization(MOPSO),Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm based on Decomposition(MOEA/D),and Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimizer(MOGWO).By comparing and analyzing the performance evaluation metrics and optimization results of the objective functions of the multi-objective algorithms,the algorithm outperforms the other algorithms in the SDFWSN deployment results.To better demonstrate the superiority of the algorithm,simulations of diverse test cases were also performed,and good results were obtained.
