Employing clustering techniques in such networks can achieve balanced energy consumption of member nodes and prolong the network lifetimes.In classical clustering techniques, clustering and in-cluster data routes are usually separated into independent operations. Although separate considerations of these two issues simplify the system design, it is often the non-optimal lifetime expectancy for wireless sensor networks. This paper proposes an integral framework that integrates these two correlated items in an interactive entirety. For that,we develop the clustering problems using nonlinear programming. Evolution process of clustering is provided in simulations. Results show that our joint-design proposal reaches the near optimal match between member nodes and cluster heads.展开更多

A reasonable design of the communication protocol can effectively reduce the energy consumption of the network system. Based on low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy(LEACH), an improved LEACH protocol in WSNs is proposed. In order to optimize the cluster head(CH) election in the cluster setup phase, the improved LEACH takes into account a number of factors, including energy consumption of communication between nodes, remaining energy of the nodes,and the distance between nodes and base station(BS). In the steady phase, one-hop routing and multiple-hop routing are combined to transmit data between CHs to improve energy efficiency. The forward CH is selected as relay node according to the values of path cost. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs better in balancing network energy consumption, and it can effectively improve the data transmission efficiency and prolong the network lifetime, as compared with LEACH, LEACH-C(LEACH-centralized) and NDAPSO-C(an adaptive clustering protocol based on improved particle swarm optimization) algorithms.展开更多

The efficient clustering of a sensor network that can save energy and improve coverage efficiency is an important requirement for many upper layer network functions. This study concentrates on how to form clusters with high uniformity while prolonging the network lifetime. A novel clustering scheme named power- and coverage- aware clustering （PCC） is proposed, which can adaptively select cluster heads according to a hybrid of the nodesI residual energy and loyalty degree. Additionally, the PCC scheme is independent of node distribution or density, and it is free of node hardware limitations, such as self-locating capability and time synchronization. Experiment results show that the scheme performs well in terms of cluster size （and its standard deviation）, number of nodes alive over time, total energy consumption, etc.展开更多

In the algorithm, an optimized weight of nodes is introduced to determine the priority of clustering procedure. As improvement, the weight is a measurement of energy and degree as usual, and even associates with distance from neighbors, distance to the sink node, and other factors. To prevent the low energy nodes being exhausted with energy, the strong nodes should have more opportunities to act as cluster heads during the clustering procedure. The simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively prolong whole the network lifetime. Especially at the early stage that some nodes in the network begin to die, the process can be postponed by using the algorithm.展开更多

In view of this, A Sink nodes’ cooperation mechanism is presented. The Sink nodes from different WSNs are adjacently deployed. Adopting multimode and spatial multiplexing network technology, the network is constructed into multi-mode-level to achieve different levels of data streaming. The network loads are shunted and the network resources are rationally utilized. Through the multi-sink nodes cooperation, the bottlenecks at the Sink node and its near several jump nodes are solved and process the competition of communication between nodes by channel adjustment. Finally, the paper analyzed the method and provided simulation experiment results. Simulation results show that the method can solve the funnel effect of the sink node, and get a good QoS.展开更多

In ...Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) has become a popular research topic due to its resource constraints. Energy consumption and transmission delay is crucial requirement to be handled to enhance the popularity of WSNs. In order to overcome these issues, we have proposed an Efficient Packet Scheduling Technique for Data Merging in WSNs. Packet scheduling is done by using three levels of priority queue and to reduce the transmission delay. Real-time data packets are placed in high priority queue and Non real-time data packets based on local or remote data are placed on other queues. In this paper, we have used Time Division Multiple Access(TDMA) scheme to efficiently determine the priority of the packet at each level and transmit the data packets from lower level to higher level through intermediate nodes. To reduce the number of transmission, efficient data merge technique is used to merge the data packet in intermediate nodes which has same destination node. Data merge utilize the maximum packet size by appending the merged packets with received packets till the maximum packet size or maximum waiting time is reached. Real-time data packets are directly forwarded to the next node without applying data merge. The performance is evaluated under various metrics like packet delivery ratio, packet drop, energy consumption and delay based on changing the number of nodes and transmission rate. Our results show significant reduction in various performance metrics.展开更多

To solve the problem, the missing data should be estimated as accurately as possible. In this paper, a k-nearest neighbor based missing data estimation algorithm is proposed based on the temporal and spatial correlation of sensor data. It adopts the linear regression model to describe the spatial correlation of sensor data among different sensor nodes, and utilizes the data information of multiple neighbor nodes to estimate the missing data jointly rather than independently, so that a stable and reliable estimation performance can be achieved. Experimental results on two real-world datasets show that the proposed algorithm can estimate the missing data accurately.展开更多

文摘A heterogeneous wireless sensor network comprises a number of inexpensive energy constrained wireless sensor nodes which collect data from the sensing environment and transmit them toward the improved cluster head in a coordinated way. Employing clustering techniques in such networks can achieve balanced energy consumption of member nodes and prolong the network lifetimes.In classical clustering techniques, clustering and in-cluster data routes are usually separated into independent operations. Although separate considerations of these two issues simplify the system design, it is often the non-optimal lifetime expectancy for wireless sensor networks. This paper proposes an integral framework that integrates these two correlated items in an interactive entirety. For that,we develop the clustering problems using nonlinear programming. Evolution process of clustering is provided in simulations. Results show that our joint-design proposal reaches the near optimal match between member nodes and cluster heads.
文摘Wireless Sensor Network(WSN)comprises a set of interconnected,compact,autonomous,and resource-constrained sensor nodes that are wirelessly linked to monitor and gather data from the physical environment.WSNs are commonly used in various applications such as environmental monitoring,surveillance,healthcare,agriculture,and industrial automation.Despite the benefits of WSN,energy efficiency remains a challenging problem that needs to be addressed.Clustering and routing can be considered effective solutions to accomplish energy efficiency in WSNs.Recent studies have reported that metaheuristic algorithms can be applied to optimize cluster formation and routing decisions.This study introduces a new Northern Goshawk Optimization with boosted coati optimization algorithm for cluster-based routing(NGOBCO-CBR)method for WSN.The proposed NGOBCO-CBR method resolves the hot spot problem,uneven load balancing,and energy consumption in WSN.The NGOBCO-CBR technique comprises two major processes such as NGO based clustering and BCO-based routing.In the initial phase,the NGObased clustering method is designed for cluster head(CH)selection and cluster construction using five input variables such as residual energy(RE),node proximity,load balancing,network average energy,and distance to BS(DBS).Besides,the NGOBCO-CBR technique applies the BCO algorithm for the optimum selection of routes to BS.The experimental results of the NGOBCOCBR technique are studied under different scenarios,and the obtained results showcased the improved efficiency of the NGOBCO-CBR technique over recent approaches in terms of different measures.

文摘Background With the development of the Internet,the topology optimization of wireless sensor networks has received increasing attention.However,traditional optimization methods often overlook the energy imbalance caused by node loads,which affects network performance.Methods To improve the overall performance and efficiency of wireless sensor networks,a new method for optimizing the wireless sensor network topology based on K-means clustering and firefly algorithms is proposed.The K-means clustering algorithm partitions nodes by minimizing the within-cluster variance,while the firefly algorithm is an optimization algorithm based on swarm intelligence that simulates the flashing interaction between fireflies to guide the search process.The proposed method first introduces the K-means clustering algorithm to cluster nodes and then introduces a firefly algorithm to dynamically adjust the nodes.Results The results showed that the average clustering accuracies in the Wine and Iris data sets were 86.59%and 94.55%,respectively,demonstrating good clustering performance.When calculating the node mortality rate and network load balancing standard deviation,the proposed algorithm showed dead nodes at approximately 50 iterations,with an average load balancing standard deviation of 1.7×10^(4),proving its contribution to extending the network lifespan.Conclusions This demonstrates the superiority of the proposed algorithm in significantly improving the energy efficiency and load balancing of wireless sensor networks to extend the network lifespan.The research results indicate that wireless sensor networks have theoretical and practical significance in fields such as monitoring,healthcare,and agriculture.

文摘In the complex environment of Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs),various malicious attacks have emerged,among which internal attacks pose particularly severe security risks.These attacks seriously threaten network stability,data transmission reliability,and overall performance.To effectively address this issue and significantly improve intrusion detection speed,accuracy,and resistance to malicious attacks,this research designs a Three-level Intrusion Detection Model based on Dynamic Trust Evaluation(TIDM-DTE).This study conducts a detailed analysis of how different attack types impact node trust and establishes node models for data trust,communication trust,and energy consumption trust by focusing on characteristics such as continuous packet loss and energy consumption changes.By dynamically predicting node trust values using the grey Markov model,the model accurately and sensitively reflects changes in node trust levels during attacks.Additionally,DBSCAN(Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise)data noise monitoring technology is employed to quickly identify attacked nodes,while a trust recovery mechanism restores the trust of temporarily faulty nodes to reduce False Alarm Rate.Simulation results demonstrate that TIDM-DTE achieves high detection rates,fast detection speed,and low False Alarm Rate when identifying various network attacks,including selective forwarding attacks,Sybil attacks,switch attacks,and black hole attacks.TIDM-DTE significantly enhances network security,ensures secure and reliable data transmission,moderately improves network energy efficiency,reduces unnecessary energy consumption,and provides strong support for the stable operation of WSNs.Meanwhile,the research findings offer new ideas and methods for WSN security protection,possessing important theoretical significance and practical application value.

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.

文摘In wireless sensor networks(WSNs), due to the limited battery power of the sensor nodes, the communication energy consumption is the main factor to affect the lifetime of the networks. A reasonable design of the communication protocol can effectively reduce the energy consumption of the network system. Based on low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy(LEACH), an improved LEACH protocol in WSNs is proposed. In order to optimize the cluster head(CH) election in the cluster setup phase, the improved LEACH takes into account a number of factors, including energy consumption of communication between nodes, remaining energy of the nodes,and the distance between nodes and base station(BS). In the steady phase, one-hop routing and multiple-hop routing are combined to transmit data between CHs to improve energy efficiency. The forward CH is selected as relay node according to the values of path cost. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs better in balancing network energy consumption, and it can effectively improve the data transmission efficiency and prolong the network lifetime, as compared with LEACH, LEACH-C(LEACH-centralized) and NDAPSO-C(an adaptive clustering protocol based on improved particle swarm optimization) algorithms.

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A common and critical operation for wireless sensor networks is data gathering. The efficient clustering of a sensor network that can save energy and improve coverage efficiency is an important requirement for many upper layer network functions. This study concentrates on how to form clusters with high uniformity while prolonging the network lifetime. A novel clustering scheme named power- and coverage- aware clustering （PCC） is proposed, which can adaptively select cluster heads according to a hybrid of the nodesI residual energy and loyalty degree. Additionally, the PCC scheme is independent of node distribution or density, and it is free of node hardware limitations, such as self-locating capability and time synchronization. Experiment results show that the scheme performs well in terms of cluster size （and its standard deviation）, number of nodes alive over time, total energy consumption, etc.

文摘In this paper, an energy efficient clustering algorithm based on neighbors （EECABN） for wireless sensor networks is proposed. In the algorithm, an optimized weight of nodes is introduced to determine the priority of clustering procedure. As improvement, the weight is a measurement of energy and degree as usual, and even associates with distance from neighbors, distance to the sink node, and other factors. To prevent the low energy nodes being exhausted with energy, the strong nodes should have more opportunities to act as cluster heads during the clustering procedure. The simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively prolong whole the network lifetime. Especially at the early stage that some nodes in the network begin to die, the process can be postponed by using the algorithm.
文摘The WSN used in power line monitoring is long chain structure, and the bottleneck near the Sink node is more obvious. In view of this, A Sink nodes’ cooperation mechanism is presented. The Sink nodes from different WSNs are adjacently deployed. Adopting multimode and spatial multiplexing network technology, the network is constructed into multi-mode-level to achieve different levels of data streaming. The network loads are shunted and the network resources are rationally utilized. Through the multi-sink nodes cooperation, the bottlenecks at the Sink node and its near several jump nodes are solved and process the competition of communication between nodes by channel adjustment. Finally, the paper analyzed the method and provided simulation experiment results. Simulation results show that the method can solve the funnel effect of the sink node, and get a good QoS.
文摘Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) has become a popular research topic due to its resource constraints. Energy consumption and transmission delay is crucial requirement to be handled to enhance the popularity of WSNs. In order to overcome these issues, we have proposed an Efficient Packet Scheduling Technique for Data Merging in WSNs. Packet scheduling is done by using three levels of priority queue and to reduce the transmission delay. Real-time data packets are placed in high priority queue and Non real-time data packets based on local or remote data are placed on other queues. In this paper, we have used Time Division Multiple Access(TDMA) scheme to efficiently determine the priority of the packet at each level and transmit the data packets from lower level to higher level through intermediate nodes. To reduce the number of transmission, efficient data merge technique is used to merge the data packet in intermediate nodes which has same destination node. Data merge utilize the maximum packet size by appending the merged packets with received packets till the maximum packet size or maximum waiting time is reached. Real-time data packets are directly forwarded to the next node without applying data merge. The performance is evaluated under various metrics like packet delivery ratio, packet drop, energy consumption and delay based on changing the number of nodes and transmission rate. Our results show significant reduction in various performance metrics.
文摘In wireless sensor networks, the missing of sensor data is inevitable due to the inherent characteristic of wireless sensor networks, and it causes many difficulties in various applications. To solve the problem, the missing data should be estimated as accurately as possible. In this paper, a k-nearest neighbor based missing data estimation algorithm is proposed based on the temporal and spatial correlation of sensor data. It adopts the linear regression model to describe the spatial correlation of sensor data among different sensor nodes, and utilizes the data information of multiple neighbor nodes to estimate the missing data jointly rather than independently, so that a stable and reliable estimation performance can be achieved. Experimental results on two real-world datasets show that the proposed algorithm can estimate the missing data accurately.
