With the rapid growth of the internet of things (IoT), an impressive number of IoT’s application based on wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has been deployed in various domain. Due to its wide ranged applications, WSNs that have the capability to monitor a given sensing field, became the most used platform of IoT. Therefore, coverage becomes one of the most important challenge of WSNs. The search for better positions to assign to the sensors in order to control each point of an area of interest and the collection of data from sensors are major concerns in WSNs. This work addresses these problems by providing a hybrid approach that ensures sensors deployment on a grid for targets coverage while taking into account connectivity. The proposed sequential hybrid approach is based on three algorithms. The first places the sensors so as to all targets are covered. The second removes redundancies from the placement algorithm to reduce the number of sensors deployed. The third one, based on the genetic algorithm, aims to generate a connected graph which provide a minimal path that links deployed sensors and sink. Simulations and a comparative study were carried out to prove the relevance of the proposed method.
相似文献Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are susceptible to many security threats and are specifically prone to physical node capture in which the adversary can easily launch the so-called insider attacks such as node compromise, bypassing the traditional security mechanisms based on cryptography primitives. So, the compromised nodes can be modified to misbehave and disrupt the entire network and can successfully perform the authentication process with their neighbors, which have no way to distinguish fraudulent nodes from trustworthy ones. Trust and reputation systems have been recently suggested as a powerful tools and an attractive complement to cryptography-based schemes in securing WSNs. They provide ability to detect and isolate both faulty and malicious nodes. Considerable research has been done on modeling and managing trust and reputation. However, trust topic issue in WSNs remains an open and challenging field. In this paper, we propose a Risk-aware Reputation-based Trust (RaRTrust) model for WSNs. Our novel framework uses both reputation and risk to evaluate trustworthiness of a sensor node. Risk evaluation is used to deal with the dramatic spoiling of nodes, which makes RaRTrust robust to on–off attack and differ from other trust models based only on reputation. This paper contributes to model the risk as opinion of short-term trustworthiness combining with traditional reputation evaluation to derive trustworthiness in WSNs.
