<span lang="EN-GB">Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a promising technology in Internet of Things (IoTs) because it can be implemented in many applications. However, a main drawback of WSN is it has limited energy because each sensor node is powered using batteries. Therefore, duty-cycle mechanisms are introduced to reduce power consumption of the sensor nodes by ensuring the sensor nodes in the sleep mode almost of the time in order to prolong the network lifetime. One of the de-facto standard of duty-cycle mechanism in WSN is ContikiMAC, which is the default duty-cycle mechanism in Contiki OS. ContikiMAC ensures nodes can participate in network communication yet keep it in sleep mode for roughly 99\% of the time. However, it is found that the ContikiMAC does not perform well in dynamic network conditions. In a bursty network, ContikiMAC provides a poor performance in term of packet delivery ratio, which is caused by congestion. One possible solution is ContikiMAC should increase its duty-cycle rate in order to support the bursty traffic. This solution creates a non-uniform duty-cycle rates among the sensor nodes in the network. This work aims to investigate the effect of non-uniform duty-cycle rates on the performance on ContikiMAC. Cooja simulator is selected as the simulation tool. Three different simulation scenarios are considered depending on the Clear Channel Assessment Rate (CCR) configurations: a low uniform CCR value (Low-CCR), a high uniform CCR value (High-CCR) and non-uniform CCR values (Non-uniform-CCR). The simulation results show that the Low-CCR scenario provides the worst performance of PDR. On the other hand, the High-CCR scenario provides the best performance of PDR. The Non-uniform-CCR provides PDR in between of Low-CCR and High-CCR.</span>

This paper proposes a Duty-Cycle (DC) control method in order to improve the Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) for IEEE 802.15.4-compliant heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The proposed method controls the DC so that the buffer occupancy of sensor nodes is less than 1 and assigns DC to each sub-network (sub-network means a network consisting of a router node and its subordinate nodes). In order to use the appropriate DC of each sub-network to obtain the high PDR, this paper gives analytical expressions of the buffer occupancy. The simulation results show that the proposed method achieves a reasonable delay and energy consumption while maintaining high PDR.

Cluster based WSNs is a rising and empowering technical knowledge with the achievable to revolutionize Data Communication Technology. The purpose of WSN stretch out to diverse areas such as the security and surveillance, Medical and Health, Military related application, Agriculture, Entertainment and so on. In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the sensor nodes are highly distributed in order to sense and transform information to base station. However, the major challenge in WSN is to avoid collision and energy dissipation due to redundant data and thereby extending the network lifetime. To address this issue, a novel energy efficient load balancing protocol (EELB) for data forwarding in multi-hop clustering based WSN is proposed. EELB is a hierarchal cluster-based protocol which schedules the sensor nodes to different modes namely sleep mode and active mode by probing the data transformed to decrease energy consumption effectively. A sensor node is set to sleep mode when it senses and transfers redundant data for an extended time. The other sensor nodes remain enabled in active mode for sensing and transmission of data packets. Also, the proposed protocol selects a reliable cluster head based on remaining residual energy level and trust value of each node. The Simulation outcomes depicts that the proposed EELB protocol performs well than conventional protocol with respect to average energy consumption, lifetime of nodes and the Packet Delivery Ratio.

Abstract In Wireless sensor network, the major issues are security and energy consumption. There may be several numbers of malicious nodes present in sensor networks. Several techniques have been proposed by the researchers to identify these malicious nodes. WSNs contain many sensor nodes that sense their environment and also transmit their data via multi-hop communication schemes to the base station. These sensor nodes provides power supply using battery and the energy consumption of these batteries must be low. Securing the data is to avoid attacks on these nodes and data communication. The aggregation of data helps to minimize the amount of messages transmitted within the network and thus reduces overall network energy consumption. Moreover, the base station may distinguish the encrypted and aggregated data based on the encryption keys during the decryption of the aggregated data. In this paper, two aspects of the problem is concerned, we investigate the efficiency of data aggregation: first, how to develop cluster-based routing algorithms to achieve the lowest energy consumption for aggregating data, and second, security issues in wsn. By using Network simulator2 (NS2) this scheme is simulated. In the proposed scheme, energy consumption, packet delivery ratio and throughput is analyzed. The proposed clustering, routing, and protection protocol based on the MCSDA algorithm shows significant improvement over the state-of - the-art protocol.

Every node in WSN has certain properties which may vary time to time based on its ability to transfer or receive the packets on it. This property or features are obtained from every node and they are classified using Neural Networks (NN) classifier with predetermined feature set which are belonging to both weak link and good link between nodes in wireless networks. The proposed system performance is analyzed by computing Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Link Failure Detection Rate (LFDR) and latency report.

Underwater Pipeline

The deployment of Linear Wireless Sensor Network (LWSN) in underwater environment has attracted several research studies in the underwater data collection research domain. One of the major issues in underwater data collection is the lack of robust structure in the deployment of sensor nodes. The challenge is more obvious when considering a linear pipeline that covers hundreds of kilometers. In most of the previous work, nodes are deployed not considering heterogeneity and capacity of the various sensor nodes. This lead to the problem of inefficient data delivery from the sensor nodes on the underwater pipeline to the sink node at the water surface. Therefore, in this study, an Enhanced Underwater Linear Wireless Sensor Network Deployment (EULWSND) has been proposed in order to improve the robustness in linear sensor underwater data collection. To this end, this paper presents a review of related literature in an underwater linear wireless sensor network. Further, a deployment strategy is discussed considering linearity of the underwater pipeline and heterogeneity of sensor nodes. Some research challenges and directions are identified for future research work. Furthermore, the proposed deployment strategy is implemented using AQUASIM and compared with an existing data collection scheme. The result demonstrates that the proposed EULWSND outperforms the existing Dynamic Address Routing Protocol for Pipeline Monitoring (DARP-PM) in terms of overhead and packet delivery ratio metrics. The scheme performs better in terms of lower overhead with 17.4% and higher packet delivery with 20.5%.

Fuzzy C Means Clustering

Abstract Heterogeneous wireless sensor networks (HWSNs) satisfy researchers' requirements for developing real-world solutions that handle unattended challenges. However, the primary constraint of researchers is the privacy of the sensor nodes. It safeguards the sensor nodes and extensions in the HWSNs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop secure operational systems. Multicast scaling with security and time efficiency is described in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks to maximize network performance while also successfully protecting network privacy. This study evaluates the initial security and time efficiency measures, such as execution time, transmission delay, processing delay, congestion level, and trust measure. Subsequently, the optimal location of the heterogeneous nodes is determined using sigmoid-based fuzzy c-means clustering. Finally, successful cluster routing was achieved via support-value-based particle swarm optimization. The experimental results indicate that the proposed strategy surpasses existing strategies in terms of network delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, throughput, packet delivery, and node remaining energy level.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of many tiny, autonomous sensor nodes capable of sensing, computation and communication. The main objective of IEEE 802.15.4 based WSN standard is to provide low cost, low power and short range communication. Providing QoS in WSN is a challenging task due to its severe resource constraints in terms of energy, network bandwidth, memory, and CPU. In this chapter, Quality of Service (QoS) performance evaluation has been carried out for IEEE 802.15.4 networks based WSN star and mesh topology using routing protocols like AODV, DSR and DYMO in QualNet 4.5 simulator. Performance evaluations metrics like Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), throughput, average end to end delay, energy per goodput bit, network lifetime of battery model and total energy consumption which includes transmission, reception, idle and sleep mode were considered for both the topology. From the simulation studies and analysis, it can be seen that on an average DSR and DYMO performs better than AODV for different traffic load rates.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) represent a promising solution in the fields of the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine networks for smart home applications. However, to feasibly deploy wireless sensor devices in a smart home environment, four key requirements must be satisfied: stability, compatibility, reliability routing, and performance and power balance. In this study, we focus on the unreliability problem of the IEEE 802.15.4 WSN medium access control (MAC), which is caused by the contention-based MAC protocol used for channel access. This problem results in a low packet delivery ratio, particularly in a smart home network with only a few sensor nodes. In this paper, we first propose a lightweight WSN protocol for a smart home or an intelligent building, thus replacing the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol, which is highly complex and has a low packet delivery ratio. Subsequently, we describe the development of a discrete event system model for the WSN by using a GRAFCET and propose a development platform based on a reconfigurable FPGA for reducing fabrication cost and time. Finally, a prototype WSN controller ASIC chip without an extra CPU and with our proposed lightweight MAC was developed and tested. It enhanced the packet delivery ratio by up to 100%.

The application of industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs) frequently appears in modern industry, and it is usually to deploy a large quantity of sensor nodes in the monitoring area. This way of deployment improves the robustness of the IWSNs but introduces many redundant nodes, thereby increasing unnecessary overhead. The purpose of this paper is to increase the lifetime of IWSNs without changing the physical facilities and ensuring the coverage of sensors as much as possible. Therefore, we propose a quantum clone grey wolf optimization (QCGWO) algorithm, design a sensor duty cycle model (SDCM) based on real factory conditions, and use the QCGWO to optimize the SDCM. Specifically, QCGWO combines the concept of quantum computing and the clone operation for avoiding the algorithm from falling into a local optimum. Subsequently, we compare the proposed algorithm with the genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) algorithm. The experimental results suggest that the lifetime of the IWSNs based on QCGWO is longer than that of GA and SA, and the convergence speed of QCGWO is also faster than that of GA and SA. In comparison with the traditional IWSN working mode, our model and algorithm can effectively prolong the lifetime of IWSNs, thus greatly reducing the maintenance cost without replacing sensor nodes in actual industrial production.
