The design of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) requires the fulfillment of several design requirements. The most important one is optimizing the battery’s lifetime, which is tightly coupled to the sensor lifetime. End-users usually avoid replacing sensors’ batteries, especially in massive deployment scenarios like smart agriculture and smart buildings. To optimize battery lifetime, wireless sensor designers need to delineate and optimize active components at different levels of the sensor’s layered architecture, mainly, (1) the number of data sets being generated and processed at the application layer, (2) the size and the architecture of the operating systems (OS), (3) the networking layers’ protocols, and (4) the architecture of electronic components and duty cycling techniques. This paper reviews the different relevant technologies and investigates how they optimize energy consumption at each layer of the sensor’s architecture, e.g., hardware, operating system, application, and networking layer. This paper aims to make the researcher aware of the various optimization opportunities when designing WSN nodes. To our knowledge, there is no other work in the literature that reviews energy optimization of WSN in the context of Smart Energy-Efficient Buildings (SEEB) and from the formerly four listed perspectives to help in the design and implementation of optimal WSN for SEEB.

This article addresses the problem of outlier detection for wireless sensor networks. As increasing amounts of observational data are tending to be high-dimensional and large scale, it is becoming increasingly difficult for existing techniques to perform outlier detection accurately and efficiently. Although dimensionality reduction tools (such as deep belief network) have been utilized to compress the high-dimensional data to support outlier detection, these methods may not achieve the desired performance due to the special distribution of the compressed data. Furthermore, because most existed classification methods must solve a quadratic optimization problem in their training stage, they cannot perform well in large-scale datasets. In this article, we developed a new form of classification model called “deep belief network online quarter-sphere support vector machine,” which combines deep belief network with online quarter-sphere one-class support vector machine. Based on this model, we first propose a model training method that learns the radius of the quarter sphere by a sorting method. Then, an online testing method is proposed to perform online outlier detection without supervision. Finally, we compare the proposed method with the state of the arts using extensive experiments. The experimental results show that our method not only reduces the computational cost by three orders of magnitude but also improves the detection accuracy by 3%–5%.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are susceptible to faults in sensor data. Outlier detection is crucial for ensuring the quality of data analysis in WSNs. This paper proposes a novel improved support vector data description method (ID-SVDD) to effectively detect outliers of sensor data. ID-SVDD utilizes the density distribution of data to compensate SVDD. The Parzen-window algorithm is applied to calculate the relative density for each data point in a data set. Meanwhile, we use Mahalanobis distance (MD) to improve the Gaussian function in Parzen-window density estimation. Through combining new relative density weight with SVDD, this approach can efficiently map the data points from sparse space to high-density space. In order to assess the outlier detection performance, the ID-SVDD algorithm was implemented on several datasets. The experimental results demonstrated that ID-SVDD achieved high performance, and could be applied in real water quality monitoring.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are often deployed in harsh and unattended environments, which may cause the generation of abnormal or low quality data. The inaccurate and unreliable sensor data may increase generation of false alarms and erroneous decisions, so it’s very important to detect outliers in sensor data efficiently and accurately to ensure sound scientific decision-making. In this paper, an outlier detection algorithm (TSVDD) using model selection-based support vector data description (SVDD) is proposed. Firstly, the Toeplitz matrix random feature mapping is used to reduce the time and space complexity of outlier detection. Secondly, a novel model selection strategy is realized to keep the algorithm stable under the low feature dimensions, this strategy can select a relatively optimal decision model and avoid both under-fitting and overfitting phenomena. The simulation results on SensorScope and IBRL datasets demonstrate that, TSVDD achieves higher accuracy and lower time complexity for outlier detection in WSNs compared with existing methods.
