Power efficient range-free localization algorithm for wireless sensor networks

Considering energy consumption, hardware requirements, and the need of high localization accuracy, we proposed a power efficient range-free localization algorithm for wireless sensor networks. In the proposed algorithm, anchor node communicates to unknown nodes only one time by which anchor nodes inform about their coordinates to unknown nodes. By calculating hop-size of anchor nodes at unknown nodes one complete communication between anchor node and unknown node is eliminated which drastically reduce the energy consumption of nodes. Further, unknown node refines estimated hop-size for better estimation of distance from the anchor nodes. Moreover, using average hop-size of anchor nodes, unknown node calculates distance from all anchor nodes. To reduce error propagation, involved in solving for location of unknown node, a new procedure is adopted. Further, unknown node upgrades its location by exploiting the obtained information in solving the system of equations. In mathematical analysis we prove that proposed algorithm has lesser propagation error than distance vector-hop (DV-Hop) and other considered improved DV-Hop algorithms. Simulation experiments show that our proposed algorithm has better localization performance, and is more computationally efficient than DV-Hop and other compared improved DV-Hop algorithms.

LIP: an efficient lightweight iterative positioning algorithm for wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are increasingly being used in remote environment monitoring, security surveillance, military applications, and health monitoring systems among many other applications. Designing efficient localization techniques have been a major obstacle towards the deployment of WSN for these applications. In this paper, we present a novel lightweight iterative positioning (LIP) algorithm for next generation of wireless sensor networks, where we propose to resolve the localization problem through the following two phases: (1) initial position estimation and (2) iterative refinement. In the initial position estimation phase, instead of flooding the network with beacon messages, we propose to limit the propagation of the messages by using a random time-to-live for the majority of the beacon nodes. In the second phase of the algorithm, the nodes select random waiting periods for correcting their position estimates based on the information received from neighbouring nodes. We propose the use of Weighted Moving Average when the nodes have received multiple position corrections from a neighbouring node in order to emphasize the corrections with a high confidence. In addition, in the refinement phase, the algorithm employs low duty-cycling for the nodes that have low confidence in their position estimates, with the goal of reducing their impact on localization of neighbouring nodes and preserving their energy. Our simulation results indicate that LIP is not only scalable, but it is also capable of providing localization accuracy comparable to the Robust Positioning Algorithm, while significantly reducing the number of messages exchanged, and achieving energy savings.     

Energy efficient cooperative spectrum sensing in wireless multi-antenna sensor network

This paper will address sensor selection problem for spectrum sensing in a cognitive radio network. The sensor’s limited energy is an important issue which has attracted more attention in recent years. An energy efficient cooperative spectrum sensing will hereby be proposed when multi-antenna sensors are used. Two decision-making techniques are utilized for the combination of antennas’ signals in each sensor: hard and soft decision-making. OR rule is used for hard decision-making technique while selection combining, equal gain combining and maximum ratio combining (MRC) are used for the soft one. In each combination scheme, the sensor selection is a problem by means of which both the energy consumption is minimized and the detection performance gets satisfied. The problem is solved based on the standard convex optimization method. Simulation results show the achievement of a significant energy saving compared to the networks using single-antenna sensors specifically in low signal to noise ratio state. Among all methods, MRC combining enjoys the least energy consumption, as well; it satisfies the desired detection performance.

Malicious attack-resistant secure localization algorithm for wireless sensor network

In hostile environments, localization often suffers from malicious attacks that may distort transmit power and degrade positioning accuracy significantly for wireless sensor network. A robust semidefinite relaxation secure localiza-tion algorithm RSRSL was proposed to improve the location accuracy against malicious attacks. On the assumption of unknown transmit power, which is undoubtedly approximate to the fact of WSN, a novel secure location probability model was introduced for single-target and multi-target sensor networks, respectively. Taking the computational complexity of RSRSL into account, the nonlinear and non-convex optimization problem was simplified into a semidefinite programming problem. According to the results from both simulations and field experiments, it is clearly demonstrated that the proposed RSRSL has better performance on location accuracy, in contrast to the conventional localization algorithms.

A fuzzy decision scheme for relay selection in cooperative wireless sensor network

In energy‐constrained military wireless sensor networks, minimizing the bit error rate (BER) with little compromise on network lifetime is one of the most challenging issues. This paper presents a new relay selection based on fuzzy logic (RSFL) scheme which provides balance between these parameters. The proposed scheme considers node's residual energy and path loss of the relay‐destination link as the input parameters for the selection of the relay node. The relay node selection by fuzzy logic is based on prioritizing higher residual energy and minimum path loss. To evaluate the performance on wireless sensor network, we compare the proposed scheme with the three existing relay selection strategies, ie, random, maximum residual energy based relay selection (MaxRes), and minimum energy consumption based relay selection (MinEnCon). The simulation results of the proposed scheme in terms of network lifetime, BER, Network Survivability Index (NSI), and average energy of network nodes have been presented and compared with different relay selection schemes. The simulation results show that the proposed RSFL scheme has the lowest BER, moderate network lifetime, average energy, and NSI.     

A new range-free localisation in wireless sensor networks using support vector machine

Location information of sensor nodes is of vital importance for most applications in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This paper proposes a new range-free localisation algorithm using support vector machine (SVM) and polar coordinate system (PCS), LSVM-PCS. In LSVM-PCS, two sets of classes are first constructed based on sensor nodes’ polar coordinates. Using the boundaries of the defined classes, the operation region of WSN field is partitioned into a finite number of polar grids. Each sensor node can be localised into one of the polar grids by executing two localisation algorithms that are developed on the basis of SVM classification. The centre of the resident polar grid is then estimated as the location of the sensor node. In addition, a two-hop mass-spring optimisation (THMSO) is also proposed to further improve the localisation accuracy of LSVM-PCS. In THMSO, both neighbourhood information and non-neighbourhood information are used to refine the sensor node location. The results obtained verify that the proposed algorithm provides a significant improvement over existing localisation methods.
