Path planning using a mobile anchor node based on trilateration in wireless sensor networks

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), many applications require sensor nodes to obtain their locations. Now, the main idea in most existing localization algorithms has been that a mobile anchor node (e.g., global positioning system‐equipped nodes) broadcasts its coordinates to help other unknown nodes to localize themselves while moving according to a specified trajectory. This method not only reduces the cost of WSNs but also gets high localization accuracy. In this case, a basic problem is that the path planning of the mobile anchor node should move along the trajectory to minimize the localization error and to localize the unknown nodes. In this paper, we propose a Localization algorithm with a Mobile Anchor node based on Trilateration (LMAT) in WSNs. LMAT algorithm uses a mobile anchor node to move according to trilateration trajectory in deployment area and broadcasts its current position periodically. Simulation results show that the performance of our LMAT algorithm is better than that of other similar algorithms. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Square partition‐based node scheduling algorithm for wireless passive sensor networks

Wireless passive sensor networks play an important role in solving the energy limitation of nodes in the Internet of Things, and node scheduling is a significant method used to improve the energy utilization of nodes. In this work, an unused energy model based on analyzing the energy consumption characteristics of passive nodes is proposed because no unified model of passive sensor nodes is reported in previous studies. A rapid square partition clustering method is proposed according to the analysis of the relation between the sensing and communication radii of nodes, and the secondary grouping and node scheduling in each cluster are implemented to ensure the coverage rate of networks. Experimental results show that the state distribution of nodes in the proposed algorithm is favorable. The performance of the proposed algorithm is significantly affected by the P ratio between the working and charging powers of nodes. When the value of P is less than 100, the network coverage and connectivity rate are maintained at more than 95% and 90%, respectively, and are both higher than the existing algorithm.

Comparative node selection‐based localization technique for wireless sensor networks: A bilateration approach

Wireless sensor networks find extensive applications, such as environmental and smart city monitoring, structural health, and target location. To be useful, most sensor data must be localized. We propose a node localization technique based on bilateration comparison (BACL) for dense networks, which considers two reference nodes to determine the unknown position of a third node. The mirror positions resulted from bilateration are resolved by comparing their coordinates with the coordinates of the reference nodes. Additionally, we use network clustering to further refine the location of the nodes. We show that BACL has several advantages over Energy Aware Co‐operative Localization (EACL) and Underwater Recursive Position Estimation (URPE): (1) BACL uses bilateration (needs only two reference nodes) instead of trilateration (that needs three reference nodes), (2) BACL needs reference (anchor) nodes only on the field periphery, and (3) BACL needs substantially less communication and computation. Through simulation, we show that BACL localization accuracy, as root mean square error, improves by 53% that of URPE and by 40% that of EACL. We also explore the BACL localization error when the anchor nodes are placed on one or multiple sides of a rectangular field, as a trade‐off between localization accuracy and network deployment effort. Best accuracy is achieved using anchors on all field sides, but we show that localization refinement using node clustering and anchor nodes only on one side of the field has comparable localization accuracy with anchor nodes on two sides but without clustering.

A node division location detection scheme for chain‐type wireless sensor networks

As a special type of wireless sensor network, the chain‐type wireless sensor networks can be used to monitor narrow and long regions, such as roads, underground mine tunnels, rivers, and bridges. In this study, a perpendicular bisector division (PB) method was first presented, in which the location may be divided into more location sub‐areas by a perpendicular bisector of each of two location nodes. Compared with the triangulation division method in Approximate Point‐in‐Triangulation Test (APIT), the computable complexity of PB is lower, and the number of division areas is larger. Furthermore, in order to locate targets under rare location nodes, a virtual location node‐perpendicular bisector division (VPB) was presented by a virtual location node based on the geographic shape of the monitored area. Virtual location nodes increase the density of location nodes, which can improve the accuracy of the location in the location algorithm. Second, two range‐free location algorithms were proposed: the location algorithm based on PB (LAPB) and the location algorithm based on VPB (LAVPB). In the end, the location errors performance of APIT, LAPB, and LAVPB for locating miners in an underground mine tunnel was tested. The results show that LAPB and LAVPB have higher location accuracy and are more robust than APIT. LAVPB is more suitable for locating targets in harsh environments.

A low‐cost node capture attack algorithm for wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have many micro devices that are easy to capture. In node capture attacks, the adversary physically captures sensors and extracts all information including key information from their memories, trying to compromise the system's security protection. However, the robust and random nature of many WSN security designs makes it difficult to compromise the system even with the capture of some sensors. In this paper, we approach WSN security from an adversarial point of view and investigate low‐cost and efficient algorithms to identify sensors in a WSN in the shortest time with the lowest cost. Instead of randomly capturing sensors, an intelligent attacker should choose the next target based on the known topology so far. Because the identification of such has been proven to be NP‐hard (non‐deterministic polynomial‐time hard), we propose to transform the problem into a set covering problem and develop a greedy minimum cost node capture attack algorithm (MCA) to lower cost of attack. Extensive simulations have been implemented to evaluate the performance of MCA and to compare it with several related schemes. It is shown that MCA lowers the cost of compromising WSNs by 16%.

Optimal placement and routing strategies for resilient two‐tiered sensor networks

In hierarchical sensor networks using relay nodes, sensor nodes are arranged in clusters and higher powered relay nodes can be used as cluster heads. The lifetime of such a network is determined primarily by the lifetime of the relay nodes. In this paper, we propose two new integer linear programs (ILPs) formulations for optimal data gathering, which maximize the lifetime of the upper tier relay node network. Unlike most previous approaches considered in the literature, our formulations can generate optimal solutions under the non‐flow‐splitting model. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach can significantly extend network lifetime, compared to traditional routing schemes, for the non‐flow‐splitting model. The lifetime can be further enhanced by periodic updates of the routing strategy based on the residual energy at each relay node. The proposed rescheduling scheme can be used to handle single or multiple relay node failures. We have also presented a very simple and straightforward algorithm for the placement of relay nodes. The placement algorithm guarantees that all the sensor nodes can communicate with at least one relay node and that the relay node network is at least 2‐connected. This means that failure of a single relay node will not disconnect the network, and data may be routed around the failed node. The worst case performance of the placement algorithm is bounded by a constant with respect to any optimum placement algorithm. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Node correlation clustering algorithm for wireless multimedia sensor networks based on overlapped FoVs

In this paper, a clustering algorithm is proposed based on the high correlation among the overlapped field of views for the wireless multimedia sensor networks. Firstly, by calculating the area of the overlapped field of views （FoVs） based on the gird method, node correlations have been obtained. Then, the algorithm utilizes the node correlations to partition the network region in which there are high correlation multimedia sensor nodes. Meanwhile, in order to minimize the energy consumption for transmitting images, the strategy of the cluster heads election is proposed based on the cost estimation, which consists of signal strength and residual energy as well as the node correlation. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can balance the energy consumption and extend the network lifetime effectively.
