Fuzzy Logic Method

As limited energy is one of the tough challenges in wireless sensor networks (WSN), energy saving becomes important in increasing the lifecycle of the network. Data fusion enables combining information from several sources thus to provide a unified scenario, which can significantly save sensor energy and enhance sensing data accuracy. In this paper, we propose a cluster-based data fusion algorithm for event detection. We usek-means algorithm to form the nodes into clusters, which can significantly reduce the energy consumption of intracluster communication. Distances between cluster heads and event and energy of clusters are fuzzified, thus to use a fuzzy logic to select the clusters that will participate in data uploading and fusion. Fuzzy logic method is also used by cluster heads for local decision, and then the local decision results are sent to the base station. Decision-level fusion for final decision of event is performed by base station according to the uploaded local decisions and fusion support degree of clusters calculated by fuzzy logic method. The effectiveness of this algorithm is demonstrated by simulation results.

Detection Techniques

Wireless Sensor Networks have recently been used for environmental monitoring and real time event detection because of their low implementation costs and distributed sensing and processing capabilities. Event detection is a critical issue in wireless sensor networks. Fire detection is used as an example in our event detection system. Algorithms are required to detect fire sensors and measure the environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, light intensity, and Carbon Monoxide) to determine if a fire is present or not. It is urgent to research fire detection techniques that are efficient, convenient and practical. Although there are several works on fire detection using WSNs, sufficient attention has rarely been paid to using fuzzy logic methods. We present a novel approach based on fuzzy logic for multi-sensors data fusion in a wireless sensor network system with a node-sink mobile network structure to detect fire. Through simulation results, it is shown that the proposed innovative fuzzy logic algorithm can improve the reliability and accuracy of sensed information and reduce the rate of false alarm.

Geographic Routing Protocol

The geographic routing protocol only requires the location information of local nodes for routing decisions, and is considered very efficient in multi-hop wireless sensor networks. However, in dynamic wireless sensor networks, it increases the routing overhead while obtaining the location information of destination nodes by using a location server algorithm. In addition, the routing void problem and location inaccuracy problem also occur in geographic routing. To solve these problems, a novel fuzzy logic-based geographic routing protocol (FLGR) is proposed. The selection criteria and parameters for the assessment of the next forwarding node are also proposed. In FLGR protocol, the next forward node can be selected based on the fuzzy location region of the destination node. Finally, the feasibility of the FLGR forwarding mode is verified and the performance of FLGR protocol is analyzed via simulation. Simulation results show that the proposed FLGR forwarding mode can effectively avoid the routing void problem. Compared with existing protocols, the FLGR protocol has lower routing overhead, and a higher packet delivery rate in a sparse network.
