SummaryIn the last decades, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have appeared as an active research area owing to their high applicability in different application areas like healthcare, automation, and the military. Several issues have been encountered in the WSNs, including energy consumption, deployment of sensor nodes, routing algorithms, energy efficiency, cluster head (CH) selection, and robustness. Cluster‐based routing is one of the energy‐efficient solutions in the WSN.

Adaptive Data Transmission Protocols for Energy Harvesting WSNs Used in Agriculture

Energy consumption is a major concern in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as it affects the lifespan of sensor nodes. Battery-based WSNs have a short operating period, which makes them impractical for real-time applications, for instance in agriculture. Energy harvesting and suitable medium access control (MAC) protocols have been used to extend the lifetime of nodes. Receiver-initiated protocols have been proved to be the best solution for energy harvesting WSNs. However, they suffer from a key disadvantage, i.e. an increase in collision rate. These collisions need to be reduced using a multi-layer protocol structure. In such a context, a new solar-based hybrid MAC (SHMAC) protocol relying on receiver-initiation and characterized by a multi-layer structure is proposed. It is an adaptive protocol capable of adapting to changing weather conditions. The nodes with a high energy harvesting rate have a higher level of residual energy and are active for longer time periods compared with those with low energy harvesting characteristics. The proposed work has shown improvements in two major MAC layer parameters, i.e. collision rate and energy neutrality operation ratio (ENO).

Optimising barrier placement for intrusion detection and prevention in WSNs.

This research addresses the pressing challenge of intrusion detection and prevention in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), offering an innovative and comprehensive approach. The research leverages Support Vector Regression (SVR) models to predict the number of barriers necessary for effective intrusion detection and prevention while optimising their strategic placement. The paper employs the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm to enhance the precision of barrier placement and resource allocation. The integrated approach combines SVR predictive modelling with ACO-based optimisation, contributing to advancing adaptive security solutions for WSNs. Feature ranking highlights the critical influence of barrier count attributes, and regularisation techniques are applied to enhance model robustness. Importantly, the results reveal substantial percentage improvements in model accuracy metrics: a 4835.71% reduction in Mean Squared Error (MSE) for ACO-SVR1, an 862.08% improvement in Mean Absolute Error (MAE) for ACO-SVR1, and an 86.29% enhancement in R-squared (R2) for ACO-SVR1. ACO-SVR2 has a 2202.85% reduction in MSE, a 733.98% improvement in MAE, and a 54.03% enhancement in R-squared. These considerable improvements verify the method's effectiveness in enhancing WSNs, ensuring reliability and resilience in critical infrastructure. The paper concludes with a performance comparison and emphasises the remarkable efficacy of regularisation. It also underscores the practicality of precise barrier count estimation and optimised barrier placement, enhancing the security and resilience of WSNs against potential threats.

A Comparative Analysis of Energy Consumption in Various Wireless Sensor Network Techniques

The objective of this study is to analyze the energy consumption associated with modern methodologies utilized in wireless sensor networks and to conduct a comparative assessment with Reed Solomon (RS) codes. This paper presents three discrete techniques for wireless sensor networks. The strategies mentioned include the Self-Evolving Sensor System (SESS), the Secure and Adaptive Key Management utilizing Multipath Routing Protocol (SAKM-MRP), and the National Instruments Secure Reference-based Data Aggregation (NI-SRDA). A distinct algorithm was developed for each method to examine the energy use. Based on the experimental results, it has been shown that the RS-codes approach consumes a considerably greater quantity of energy compared to the SESS methods, which, in contrast, exhibit a significantly lower energy consumption. When comparing the efficiency of RS-codes and SESS methods, it is observed that the SAKN-MRP technique exhibits a more significant decrease in energy consumption. Compared to the RS-Codes system, the SESS scheme stands out with a significant 45.5% reduction in energy usage at the maximum delivery node. Similarly, the SAKM-MRP scheme showcases an average decrease of 35.7% in energy consumption. Notably, the NI-SRDA scheme achieves an impressive 60% reduction in energy consumption, underscoring its remarkable impact on energy efficiency. In a broader sense, it can be inferred that the NI-SDRA technique holds promise as an energy-efficient solution for wireless sensor networks in comparison to alternative strategies suggested in the current study.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a key component of Green IoT, as they play a critical role in many applications. However, a major challenge faced by WSNs is their limited energy capacity, which can impede their effectiveness. To address this issue, energy harvesting techniques are used to harness ambient energy and power the nodes, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements or recharging.

Results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively increase the energy efficiency and reliability of the network, making it a promising solution for WSNs operating in tropical regions. This research contributes to the development of sustainable and energy-efficient WSNs, promoting the Green IoT concept.

Energy Saving Routing Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Minimum Spanning Hyper Tree

With the rapid development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), designing energy-efficient routing protocols has become essential to prolong network lifetime. This paper proposes a minimum spanning tree-based energy-saving routing algorithm for WSNs. First, sensor nodes are clustered using the LEACH protocol and minimum spanning trees are constructed within clusters and between cluster heads. The spanning tree edge weights are optimized considering transmission energy, residual energy, and energy consumption rate. This avoids channel competition and improves transmission efficiency. An energy-saving routing model is then built whereby deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agents calculate paths optimizing the energy utilization rate. The DRL reward function integrates network performance metrics like energy consumption, delay, and packet loss. Experiments show the proposed approach leads to 10-15W lower average switch energy consumption compared to existing methods. The throughput is high since overloaded shortest paths are avoided. The average path length is close to shortest path algorithms while maintaining energy efficiency. In summary, the proposed minimum spanning tree-based routing algorithm successfully achieves energy-saving goals for WSNs while guaranteeing network performance. It provides an efficient and adaptive routing solution for resource-constrained WSNs.

MOANS DV-Hop: An anchor node subset based localization algorithm for wireless sensor networks

Several applications have exploited wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and localization is a key WSN technology. The range-free localization technique is substantially less expensive than conventional range-based localization strategies since it does not require distance or angle measurements between the anchor and unknown nodes. The Distance Vector-Hop (DV-Hop) technique is a widespread localization solution for WSNs because of its straightforward theory and minimal cost. The coordinate estimating precision of the classic DV-Hop algorithm needs further improvement due to its large localization error. In this paper, a DV-Hop-based method utilizing modified optimum anchor node subset (MOANS DV-Hop) is proposed to improve the localization performance of the DV-Hop algorithm. A strategy for anchor node deployment is proposed. An objective function is formulated to minimize the error in estimating coordinates of unknown nodes. With the MOANS DV-Hop algorithm, each anchor node first uses other anchor nodes to locate itself, then uses the Scaled General Learning Equilibrium Optimizer (SGLEO) algorithm to create an optimal subset made up of anchor nodes other than itself. The anchor node then updates its average hop size using the anchor node subset and broadcasts both the updated hop size and the anchor node subset to the nearby unknown nodes. An unknown node then determines its location using the Equilibrium Optimizer (EO) algorithm, the anchor node subset, and the updated hop size received from the closest anchor node. Simulation findings show that MOANS DV-Hop algorithm has a greater level of localization accuracy in coordinate estimation than both the classical and other improved DV-Hop methods.

A variable damping vibration energy harvester based on Half-Wave flywheeling effect for freight railways

The vibrational energy, often considered a negative factor, is abundant in everyday life. Especially in railway systems, the negatively impacted track vibrations resulting from moving trains can be captured to provide a practical power supply solution for wireless sensor networks. This paper proposed a variable damping vibration energy harvester with a half-wave flywheel for a freight train-based railway. A double-sided rack as the input member converts the track vibration into the opposite rotation of the two pinions, which are then transmitted to the two parallel shafts respectively. According to the work characteristics of the one-way bearing, the upper and lower vibrations can be collected separately and output a one-way rotation to the generator module. The proposed harvester with a half-wave flywheel features a larger damping force for vibration reduction during the downward track vibration and a smaller damping force conducive to returning the track's original state during the upward track vibration. The experimental results achieve a maximum output power of 10.247 W and a maximum mechanical efficiency of 74.49%. Both simulations and experiments have verified that the proposed system with a half-wave flywheel can increase the damping force in the vibration reduction process and reduce the damping force in the reset process, which is characteristic of improving its power generation performance with a good vibration reduction effect. The VEH with the half-wave flywheel achieved an average power of 5.321 W at the train speed of 90 km/h under random vibration testing, which verifies the feasibility of self-powered wireless sensor networks in railway environments.

Trust-based clustering and best route selection strategy for energy efficient wireless sensor networks

Energy efficiency is one of the most researchable topics of the energy constrained Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Due to the widespread usage of WSN in real-time applications, network lifetime is the serious concern and numerous research solutions are presented in the literature for handling this issue. Several techniques are employed to handle energy consumption and the most promising techniques are clustering and routing other than data compression. Hence, this paper presents a clustering and routing-based solution for energy efficient WSN with trust notion as its base. The nodes are clustered with the help of Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST), while the best route is selected by employing Lion Optimization Algorithm (LOA). The work efficiency of the proposed work is proven with reasonable outcomes with respect to different performance measures. This work proves an average packet delivery rate of 94.24%, average latency of 13.43 s and 191 alive nodes at the end of 500th second better network lifetime when compared to the existing works.

DT-RRNS: Routing Protocol Design for Secure and Reliable Distributed Smart Sensors Communication Systems

A smart city has a complex hierarchical communication system with various components. It must meet the requirements of fast connection, reliability, and security without data compromise. Internet of Things technology is widely used to provide connectivity and control solutions for smart sensors and other devices using heterogeneous networking technologies. In this paper, we propose a routing solution for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET) with increasing speed, reliability, and sufficient security.

We analyze the concept of data transmission based on RRNS that divides data into smaller encoded shares and transmits them in parallel, protecting them from attacks on routes by adaptive multipath secured transmission and providing self-correcting properties that improve the reliability and fault tolerance of the entire system.

Energy efficient and multi-hop routing for constrained wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor network (WSN) technique has advanced in several applications, however, the environment has significant energy and security challenges. Therefore, this research proposes a Multi-Hop, Trivial, as well as Protected Routing Solution for Constrained Wireless Sensor Networks. The Chaotic Particle-swarm Krill Herd (CPKH) method, which includes chaotic theory with accelerated PSO (APSO) as a mutation operator into the krill herd method, is used to first choose the energy-efficient cluster heads. Then, to select the optimal path this research proposed a novel Self-Adaptive Step Glow Worm Swarm Optimization (SASGWS) Algorithm. Following that, the Hamming Residue Technique (HRT) is utilized to counteract the malicious attacks in the WSN. The proposed technology, which could result in increased power efficiency as well as high bandwidth, analyses system status on demand as well as dynamically identifies system hazards.

Genetic algorithm‐based partial charging schedule of rechargeable sensor networks

SummaryThe use of rechargeable sensors is a promising solution for wireless sensor networks. On this type of network, mobile charging vehicles (MC) are used for charging sensors using wireless energy transfer (WET) technology. In on‐demand charging, a sensor transmits a charging request to the service station, and the MC visits the sensor to transfer energy. The key disadvantages of utilizing MC‐based WET are its high energy expenditure rate due to mobility, long service time, and slow charging rate. Because of these reasons, sensors deplete their energy and become dead before the MC reaches the requesting nodes to recharge. We have adapted a genetic algorithm‐based partial charging scheme to serve the charging requests. Our objective is to improve the survival ratio of the network. Using comprehensive simulations, we analyze the performance of our proposed method and compare it to two other existing approaches. The simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm improves the survival ratio by up to 20 % by developing a dynamic energy threshold function for transmitting charging requests from the sensors and a partial charging schedule using a genetic algorithm.

Environment-Aware Energy Efficient and Reliable Routing in Real-Time Multi-Sink Wireless Sensor Networks for Smart Cities Applications

Internet of things (IoT) is one of the leading technologies that have been used in many fields, such as environmental monitoring, healthcare, and smart cities. The core of IoT technologies is sensors; sensors in IoT form an autonomous network that is able to route messages from one place to another to the base station or the sink. Recently, due to the rapid technological development of sensors, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become an important part of IoT. However, in applications such as smart cities, WSNs with one sink might not be suitable due to the limited communication range of sensors and the wide area to be covered. Therefore, multi-sink WSN solutions seem to be suitable for such applications. The multi-sink WSNs are gaining popularity because they increase network throughput, network lifetime, and energy usage. At the same time, multi-hop routing is essential for the WSNS to collect data from sensor nodes and route it to the sink node for decision-making. Many routing algorithms developed for multi-sink WSNs focus on being energy efficient to extend the network lifetime, but the delay was not the main concern. However, these algorithms are unable to deal with such applications in which the data packets have to reach sink nodes within predefined real-time information. On the other hand, in the most existing routing schemes, the effects of the external environmental factors such as temperature and humidity and the reliability of real-time data delivery have largely been ignored. These issues can dramatically influence the network performance. Therefore, this paper designs a routing algorithm that satisfies three critical conditions: energy-efficient, real-time, environment-aware, and reliable routing. Therefore, the routing decisions are made according to different parameters. Such parameters include environmental impact metrics, energy balance metrics to balance the energy consumption among sensor nodes and sink nodes, desired deadline time (required delivery time), and wireless link quality. The problem is formed in integer linear programming (ILP) for optimal solution. The problem formulation is designed to fully understand the problem with its major constraints by the sensor networks research community. In addition, the optimal solution for small-scale problems could be used to measure the quality of any given heuristic that might be used to solve the same problem. Then, the paper proposes swarm intelligence to solve the optimization problem for large-scale multi-sink WSNs as a heuristic algorithm. The proposed algorithm is evaluated and analyzed compared with two recent algorithms, which are the most related to our proposal, SMRP and EERP protocols using an extensive set of experiments. The obtained results prove the superiority of the proposed algorithm over the compared algorithms in terms of packet delivery ratio, deadline miss ratio, average end-to-end delay, network lifetime, and energy imbalance factor under different aspects. In particular, the proposed algorithm requires more computational energy compared to comparison algorithms.

Performance Comparison of NB-Fi, Sigfox, and LoRaWAN

LPWANs are a promising solution for wireless sensor networks. To compete with such widespread technologies as LoRaWAN and Sigfox, recently a new LPWAN technology called NB-Fi has been developed. In a short time, many NB-Fi networks have been deployed in various countries. Although NB-Fi, Sigfox, and LoRaWAN have been designed for similar applications, they implement different approaches. However, no detailed comparisons of them are present in academic literature. This paper aims to fill this gap by analyzing and comparing NB-Fi, Sigfox, and LoRaWAN focusing on performance evaluation results rather than just nominal parameters declared by the developers. Specifically, the paper evaluates the packet loss rate, packet error rate, and average delay in these networks in different scenarios. The results are used to provide guidelines to decide which technology to use under which conditions. Specifically, Sigfox performs best in scenarios when devices transmit small pieces of data without repetitions and acknowledgments, and LoRaWAN is the most reliable for transmitting bigger pieces of data, while NB-Fi is best suited for acknowledged transmissions of small pieces of data.

An Improved Model for Node Discovery using Election Algorithm in Wireless Sensor Network

Mobile wireless devices are constrained based on resources. Computation offloading provides a unique method for taking advantage of multiple mobile wireless devices to save energy and increase performance of these devices. In order to build a robust serious solution for a mobile wireless sensor network. There must be a scheme to ensure that the resources of the mobile wireless sensor network is managed adequately. However, computational offloading scheme was proposed by researchers. But this solution was dependent on a super node which manages the offloading process and is required to be online on the network at all time which consume time. The objectives of this study is to create a “broadcast and receive” table that can access a given node at a particular time interval without the need of having a super node online all the time. This method ensures that as nodes enter the network, they announce their resources which is then saved in the table. This information is updated at a given time interval by a monitoring service. When a node is to be removed from the network, the details of the resources of the node is removed from the table. The focus of the study is to evaluate the resource aware of node discovery in wireless sensor network.

EATMR: an energy-aware trust algorithm based the AODV protocol and multi-path routing approach in wireless sensor networks

Rapid developments in radio technology and processors have led to the emergence of small sensor nodes that provide communication over Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The crucial issues in these networks are energy consumption management and reliable data exchange. Due to the limited resources of sensor nodes, WSNs become a vulnerable target against many security attacks. Thus, energy-aware trust-based techniques have become a powerful tool for detecting nodes’ behavior and providing security solutions in WSN. Clustering-based routings are one of the most effective methods in increasing the WSN performance. In this paper, an Energy-Aware Trust algorithm based on the AODV protocol and Multi-path Routing approach (EATMR) is proposed to improve the security of WSNs. EATMR consists of two main phases: firstly, the nodes are clustered based on the Open-Source Development Model Algorithm (ODMA), and then in the second phase, clustering-based routing is applied. In this paper, the routing process follows the AODV protocol and multi-path routes approach with considering energy-aware trust. Here, the optimal and safe route is determined based on various parameters, namely energy, trust, hop-count, and distance. In this regard, we emphasize the evaluation of node trust using direct trust, indirect trust, and a multi-objective function. The simulation has been performed in MATLAB software in the presence of a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The simulation results show that EATMR performs better than the state-of-the-art methods in terms of successfully detecting malicious nodes and enhancing network lifetime, energy consumption, and packet delivery ratio. As a conclusion, EATMR shows an average of 4.3 and 6.1% superiority over M-CSO and SQEER in different scenarios, respectively.
