Power efficient scheme for self localization in wireless sensor networks

With the tremendous applications of the wireless sensor network, self-localization has become one of the challenging subject matter that has gained attention of many researchers in the field of wireless sensor network. Localization is the process of assigning or computing the location of the sensor nodes in a sensor network. As the sensor nodes are deployed randomly, we do not have any knowledge about their location in advance. As a result, this becomes very important that they localize themselves as manual deployment of sensor node is not feasible. Also, in WSN the main problem is the power as the sensor nodes have very limited power source. This paper provides a novel solution for localizing the sensor nodes using controlled power of the beacon nodes such that we will have longer life of the beacon nodes which plays a vital role in the process of localization as it is the only special nodes that has the information about its location when they are deployed such that the remaining ordinary nodes can localize themselves in accordance with these beacon node. We develop a novel model that first finds the distance of the sensor nodes then it finds the location of the unknown sensor nodes in power efficient manner. Our simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in terms of controlled and reduced power.

CoFEE: Context-aware futuristic energy estimation model for sensor nodes using Markov model and autoregression

Nowadays, the emerging internet of things (IoT) technology offers the connectivity and communication between all things (various objects/things, devices, actuators, sensors, and mobile devices) at anywhere and anytime. These devices have embedded environment monitoring capabilities (sensors) and significant computational responsibilities. Most of the devices are working by utilizing their limited resources such as energy, memory, and bandwidth. Obviously, battery power is a crucial factor in any network. It makes tedious overheads to the network operations. Prediction of the future energy of the devices could be more helpful for managing resources, connectivity, and communication between the devices in IoT and wireless sensor networks (WSNs). It also facilitates the reliable internet and network connection establishment to the nodes. Hence, this paper presents an energy estimation model to predict the future energy of devices using the Markov and autoregression model. The proposed model facilitates smarter energy management among internet-connected devices. Performance results show that the proposed method gives significant improvement compared with the neural network and other existing predictions. Further, the proposed model has very lower error performance metrics such as mean square error and computation overhead. The proposed model yields more perfect energy predictions for a node with 64% to 97% and 16% to 43% of higher prediction accuracy throughout the time series.     

Discrete GWO Optimized Data Aggregation for Reducing Transmission Rate in IoT

The conventional hospital environment is transformed into digital transformation that focuses on patient centric remote approach through advanced technologies. Early diagnosis of many diseases will improve the patient life. The cost of health care systems is reduced due to the use of advanced technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Embedded systems, Deep learning approaches and Optimization and aggregation methods. The data generated through these technologies will demand the bandwidth, data rate, latency of the network. In this proposed work, efficient discrete grey wolf optimization (DGWO) based data aggregation scheme using Elliptic curve Elgamal with Message Authentication code (ECEMAC) has been used to aggregate the parameters generated from the wearable sensor devices of the patient. The nodes that are far away from edge node will forward the data to its neighbor cluster head using DGWO. Aggregation scheme will reduce the number of transmissions over the network. The aggregated data are preprocessed at edge node to remove the noise for better diagnosis. Edge node will reduce the overhead of cloud server. The aggregated data are forward to cloud server for central storage and diagnosis. This proposed smart diagnosis will reduce the transmission cost through aggregation scheme which will reduce the energy of the system. Energy cost for proposed system for 300 nodes is 0.34μJ. Various energy cost of existing approaches such as secure privacy preserving data aggregation scheme (SPPDA), concealed data aggregation scheme for multiple application (CDAMA) and secure aggregation scheme (ASAS) are 1.3 μJ, 0.81 μJ and 0.51 μJ respectively. The optimization approaches and encryption method will ensure the data privacy.     

Network resource management mechanisms in SDN enabled WSNs: A comprehensive review

Wireless technologies usually have very limited computing, memory, and battery power that require the optimal management of network resources to increase network performance. The optimization of these network resources provides an efficient network topology, traffic control, routing, and data aggregation. This study presents a qualitative and quantitative investigation to evaluate the efficient network resource management mechanisms for software defined wireless sensor networks (SDN-enabled WSNs) from the beginning of network design to reliable data delivery. In this paper, a taxonomy of network resource management research studies is proposed. A detailed analysis of SDN-enabled WSNs architecture, SDN controllers, topology discovery, routing approaches, flow rules installation, and data aggregation is also discussed. Furthermore, the comparative analysis of resource provisioning methods along with various simulation tools is presented. Moreover, this review outlines open research challenges and prospective future directions for network resource management in SDN-enabled WSNs.     

ESPAR array design for the UHF RFID wireless sensor communication system

In this paper, in order to improve the received signal strength (RSS) and signal quality, three arrays of electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR) antennas are suggested for the ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) communication and sensing system applications. Instead of the single antenna, the array antennas have recently been widely used in many communication systems because of their peak gains, better radiation patterns, and higher radiation efficiency. Also, there are some important issues to use the antenna array like high data rates in wireless communication systems and to better understand the many targets or sensors. In this article, a wireless sensor network (WSN) is being investigated to overcome multipath fading and interference by antenna nulling technology that can be achieved through beam control ESPAR array antennas. The proposed ESPAR array antennas exhibit higher gains like 9.63, 10.2, and 12 dBi and proper radiation patterns from one array to another. Moreover, we investigate the mutual coupling effect on the performance of array antennas with different spacing (0.5λ, 0.75λ, λ) and configurations. It is found that the worst mutual coupling reduced by −28 to −34 dB for 2 × 2 array, −3 to −43 dB for 2 × 3 array, and finally −42 dB to −51 dB due to the antenna spacing from 0.5λ to λ. Thus, these suggested antennas could effectively be applied in the WSN communication systems, internet of things (IoT) networks, and massive wireless and backscatter communication systems.
