Intelligent Deep Learning and Softmax Routing for Energy-Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks in Public Space Design

The increasing usage of several nodes to transfer the massive volume of data to the remotes in wireless sensor networks is a challenging task to reduce the loss. The high volumes of data transmission in wireless sensor networks (WSN) can surpass their capacity, resulting in congestion, latency issues, and packet loss. However, computational intelligence (CI) models can aid in managing and creating intelligent networks in WSN. The WSN congestion issues result in information loss and increased energy usage. CI-based models have been used to resolve this issue, reducing the latency. This paper proposes SoftMax Routing with Deep Neural Network (SRDNN) for efficient routing in WSN. This will route the data packets by choosing the high energy and lower load. It consists of two parts, such as the construction of the routing path, which determines the residual energy of the node. It is analyzed using SoftMax routing to decide whether the node is efficient in energy. The route request and reply established various paths between the source and destination. The path with minimum buffer space and maximum bandwidth is chosen in the optimal routing. The simulation results under the metrics such as energy consumption, data loss rate, throughput, and delay show the proposed model performance.

Application of corporate image integrating Zigbee technology in brand APP interface design using IoT technology

In modern social APP interface design, how to effectively improve the corporate image and create the connotation of corporate culture is a significant key problem. With the emergence of APP, a growing number of people use them, increasing communication energy usage and slowing network operation. To improve app compatibility and speed, it is necessary to combine it with the most advanced and dependable technology, such as ZigBee, which is regarded as the best solution for wireless sensor networks. The ZigBee protocol is primarily used to incorporate working and data transmission in wireless sensor networks that are based on ZigBee technology. As a result, incorporating ZigBee technology into APP interface design in the Internet of Things (IoT) domain can significantly improve brand APP interface design’s network operation efficiency. This paper presents a novel approach to enhance the performance and corporate image of brand mobile applications (APPs) by integrating ZigBee technology. The primary objective is to improve the operating efficiency and user experience of the brand APPs. The study involves a comparison between 10 brand APPs that have not integrated ZigBee technology and 10 brand APPs that have adopted ZigBee technology. The experimental results indicate that the operating efficiency of the brand APPs incorporating ZigBee technology is 97%, while the efficiency of the brand APPs without ZigBee technology is 85%, resulting in a notable difference of 12%. To assess the effectiveness of ZigBee technology integration, the study conducted experiments with 100 users, randomly assigned to interact with both types of brand APPs. The user feedback and observations revealed that brand APPs integrated with ZigBee technology exhibit significantly higher operating efficiency, contributing to a 12% improvement over their counterparts lacking ZigBee integration. Moreover, 90 out of 100 users reported a preference for the brand APPs integrated with ZigBee technology due to their superior user experience. The integration of ZigBee technology in brand APPs not only enhances the user experience but also contributes to the improvement of the company’s corporate image. Adopting ZigBee technology in brand APPs is a valuable strategy that can facilitate the long-term development and success of the company.

Cluster-Disjoint Multipath Routing Protocol for Real-Time and Reliable Packet Transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks.

Multipath routing protocol, which is one of the typical schemes to improve end-to-end transmission success ratio in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), exploits two or more paths. However, collisions and interference might occur when each path is adjacent. To prevent this problem, they construct node- or link-disjointed paths. Although the paths could prevent the above-mentioned problem, it still has an issue in the area of time delay. To exploit the disjointed paths, pre-path construction is required. In addition, a lot of time is incurred to recover the whole path when the part of the path is damaged. This phenomenon adversely affects the end-to-end transmission success ratio and transmission time. To alleviate this problem, we propose a cluster-disjoint multipath routing protocol. The proposed scheme divides the whole network into grid clusters of a certain size in the network initialization phase. Each sensor could transmit packets through the pre-constructed cluster structure without the path construction phase. Also, even if any node fails, it could be easily replaced by other nodes within the cluster region. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has an advantage in terms of transmission delay and end-to-end transmission success ratio compared to existing multipath routing protocols.

Enhanced cryptography algorithm and improved butterfly algorithm for secured data transmission in wireless sensor network

Due of their many uses, WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) have drawn the greatest interest, but,existing methods do not support reliable data transfer. They face issues in energy consumptions and routing on shortest paths over WSNs. Also, they are incapable to stopping compromised nodes with legitimate identities from launching attacks. This study handled this issue with suggested schema basedon CHs (Cluster Heads) and using IBO (Improved Butterfly Optimization) and DAES (Double key based Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithms. The main phases of this work contain system model, security model, CH node selection and shortest path routing with secured data transmission. Initially,system model is constructed via number of sensor nodes on the given setup. Then, CH nodes areselected using IBO algorithm based on best fitness values. These selections of CHs consider minimum delays and energy consumptions with maximum throughputs for establishing security assurances and energy conservations at sensor nodes along with secure protocol. The security levels for quick datatransfers over multi-path routes in WSNs are improved using DAES. Attack nodes are eliminated for successful transfers. The intermediate layer CHs create routing backbones to gather, combine, and convey data from member nodes. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed IBO-DAES framework outperforms existing approaches in terms of throughputs, network longevity, data transfer rates, and energy consumptions.

Secrecy Performance Analysis of Cooperative Multihop Transmission for WSNs under Eavesdropping Attacks.

Multihop transmission is one of the important techniques to overcome the transmission coverage of each node in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, multihop transmission has a security issue due to the nature of a wireless medium. Additionally, the eavesdropper also attempts to interrupt the legitimate users' transmission. Thus, in this paper, we study the secrecy performance of a multihop transmission under various eavesdropping attacks for WSNs. To improve the secrecy performance, we propose two node selection schemes in each cluster, namely, minimum node selection (MNS) and optimal node selection (ONS) schemes. To exploit the impact of the network parameters on the secrecy performance, we derive the closed-form expression of the secrecy outage probability (SOP) under different eavesdropping attacks. From the numerical results, the ONS scheme shows the most robust secrecy performance compared with the other schemes. However, the ONS scheme requires a lot of channel information to select the node in each cluster and transmit information. On the other side, the MNS scheme can reduce the amount of channel information compared with the ONS scheme, while the MNS scheme still provides secure transmission. In addition, the impact of the network parameters on the secrecy performance is also insightfully discussed in this paper. Moreover, we evaluate the trade-off of the proposed schemes between secrecy performance and computational complexity.

Lévy impact on the transmission of worms in wireless sensor network: Stochastic analysis

This manuscript addresses the security challenges wireless sensor networks (WSNs) face due to their operational limitations. The primary challenge stems from the infiltration of worms into the network, where one infected node could uncontrollably propagate the malware to neighboring node(s). First, we proposes a stochastic system based on Lévy noise to explain the spread of worms in WSNs. Then, we establish a unique positive global solution for the proposed model. We also examine the presence and potential extinction of worms within the networks. The results reveal that random environmental perturbations can confine the spread of worms and that the deterministic model tends to overestimate the worms’ spreading capacity. Using different parameter sets, the study obtains approximate solutions to validate these analytical findings and demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested SEIRS system. The findings of the work reveal that the proposed model surpasses existing models in mitigating worm transmission in WSNs. Our inference suggests that the transmission dynamics of the system are influenced by both white noise and Lévy noise.

SOHCL-RDT: A self-organized hybrid cross-layer design for reliable data transmission in wireless network

In this paper, we propose “SOHCL-RDT” which stands for a self-organized hybrid cross-layer design for reliable data transmission in wireless network. The communication paradigm is changing and new approach related to machine learning or other optimization algorithms are being introduce rapidly. The TCP/IP or OSI model is not at all equipped to accommodate such a vast changes in its established protocol stacks. Considering this, we have proposed the hybrid cross layer design where the communication or transmission will be handle using two set of protocol stack. One set for the established classical network, and another using cross layer approach. Our design leverages the strengths of both the physical and MAC layers to optimize packet transmission and minimize energy consumption. An optimization algorithm based on gradient descent is also developed to adjust transmission parameters in real-time. The objective is to invoke the classical model only when it needed; it means until unless gradient descent is able to make classification regarding the node scheduling and achieve the acknowledgment, the TCP/IP protocol stack will be in deactivation. Using this method, we have performed our experiments mainly on two parameters named as packet delivery ratio (PDR), end-to-end delay (E2ED); because these are important aspect of reliability. In addition to that, the energy consumption of network is also compared with the existing algorithms. The results show that the proposed hybrid cross-layer design outperforms the existing algorithms. The performance gain can be attributed to the cross-layer approach and the use of the optimization algorithm. Overall, the proposed hybrid cross-layer design is a promising solution for reliable data transmission in wireless sensor networks, with the potential to improve network performance and prolong network lifetime by reducing energy consumption.

Investigation on jamming detection in WSN using optimal decision rule

A jamming attack is a special case of a Denial of Service (DoS) attack that completely blocks the data transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). When sensor nodes are distributed in the field, numerous attacks, such as collision, black hole, selective forwarding, jamming, etc., caused by the presence of malicious nodes have the potential to cause network damage. Jamming is a highly risky attack that completely blocks data transmission within the wireless network. The existing technique for detecting jamming attacks are based on predetermined hopping-sequence, cryptographic, or random frequency hopping techniques. However, these mechanisms are more complex and frequently have energy constraints and high overhead. A novel jamming detection method based on a statistical approach that provides high network performance measures is proposed. It is a technique that uses energy-based clustering with a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). The selection of thresholds used for the detection of jamming is analyzed. The proposed approach employs three detection performance metrics for investigating the jamming attack, namely, Packet to Delivery Ratio (PDR), ENERGY, and RSSI. The jamming node is identified using the Optimal Decision Rule (ODR), which is determined by the hypothesis rule. If the hypothesis is not satisfied, then jamming exists; otherwise, there is no jamming. The novel technique is implemented using a Network Simulator, and various performance metrics such as PDR, Energy consumption, Network throughput, Routing overhead, network, and node lifetime are evaluated to conclude that the statistical approach outperforms the timestamp and IEWMA approaches.

IoT-based multi-channel information integration method for wireless sensor networks

The speedy progress of the Internet of Things has connected a huge network of smart devices in series and also intensified the pressure of multi-channel information transmission in wireless sensor networks. To solve the transmission of large amount of information, a multi-channel information integration method based on Radial Basis Function neural network, Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm and Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is studied. The method designs an improved counter propagation Radial Basis Function neural network prediction algorithm to correct the abnormal data based on the normal and abnormal values detected by the Grubbs criterion. And then it uses the Dempster-Shafer evidence inference method for information integration on the basis of the complete monitored values after correction obtained using the above method. The lab result indicated that mean absolute error value of the improved counter propagation Radial Basis Function model for anomaly data prediction findings was 4.399, mean square error was 26.820, and root mean squared error value was 5.180. The average time delay of information integration of this research method was 0.24 μs. Compared with other methods, this method has the shortest integration time delay and the highest integration accuracy. The study provides a new method in the multi-channel information integration for wireless sensor networks in the context of internet of things.

A Q-Learning-Based Routing Approach for Energy Efficient Information Transmission in Wireless Sensor Network

Nowadays, wireless sensor networks have played an important role in many applications. In these applications, a large number of wireless sensors are deployed in an environment to collect information and form network to transmit collected information to the base station or sink. Because wireless sensors have to work for a long period of time without maintenance, the energy consumption of wireless sensors has a great impact on the lifetime of wireless sensor network. To reduce and balance the energy consumption of wireless sensors, many information transmission routing approaches have been proposed. However, most of them do not consider all energy consumption factors of wireless sensors. To this end, an innovative information transmission routing approach based on Q-learning is proposed in this paper, which enables wireless sensors to adaptively select suitable neighboring sensors to achieve energy efficient information transmission in a decentralized manner. Based on the proposed approach, a wireless sensor first collects state and action information of its neighboring sensors, which includes information transmission direction and distance, the remaining energy, the energy consumption for information transmission and information transmission action. Then, all this information is used to update the Q-values of neighboring sensors, so as to enable the wireless sensor to select suitable neighboring sensor to transmit information according to Q-values. From simulation experiments, it can be seen that the proposed approach enables wireless sensors to reduce and balance the energy consumption of wireless sensors and extend the lifetime of the entire wireless sensor network.

Secure Transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks via Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface

Nowadays, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are broadly used due to their flexibility and cost-effectiveness in controlling the wireless environment with low-cost passive reflecting elements. In addition, RIS-assisted systems offer extremely power-efficient alternatives to conventional multi-antenna amplify-and-forward relaying systems. This paper presents an RIS-assisted secure wireless sensor network (WSN) that consists of multiple sensor nodes, an eavesdropper, a friendly jammer, and a sink node. The RIS helps to improve the direct link between the sensor nodes and the sink node. Meanwhile, the jammer and the RIS deteriorate the wiretap channel for the eavesdropper. More specifically, we aim to maximize the secrecy rate through the joint optimization of the RIS phase shifts, sensor scheduling strategy and jamming power. At first, the scheduling strategy is selected, and then the problem is solved using the block coordinate descent (BCD) method. Simulation results show the significant improvement in the secrecy performance achieved through the proposed RIS-assisted system.

Energy-Efficient Trust and Quarantine-Based Secure Data Transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks

Cryptographic Data Security for Reliable Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely utilized in a variety of applications. Attackers might interfere with equipment, and eavesdrop on conversations. Attackers can also modify the data which has been communicated or connect unauthorized devices to the network if such devices are deployed in the physical environment. To ensure WSN security, messages exchanged between communicating nodes must be encrypted, and for encryption and decryption, the network must store a key. Consequently, Key management is of significant importance in achieving security in WSN. Obtaining such a key arrangement in a resource-constrained environment is required for secure and energy-efficient data transmission in WSN. Current algorithms have certain security issues, such as vulnerability to plaintext attacks, brute force attacks, side-channel attacks, and computational complexity. Cryptography along with clustering has been found to be a practical and efficient technique to improve the secure and energy-efficient data transmission in WSNs. In this article we have used an asymmetric Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) method for key generation whereas encryption and decryption of data, has been done by a hybrid of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and ECC cryptography A novel algorithm has been developed that incorporates both techniques (Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and ECC cryptography) along with clustering through standard LEACH protocol for improving energy efficiency, data security, and network lifetime. The proposed algorithm has been able to overcome the issue of key exchange that plagues AES, simpler than ECC and more reliable than AES. More significantly, it is able to encounter a variety of security threats including side-channel attacks. The proposed algorithm is better and has been compared to current techniques with respect to time complexity, encryption time and decryption time to demonstrate its efficacy.

A Developed Compression Scheme to Optimize Data Transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks

Improving performance is an important issue in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). WSN has many limitations including network performance. The research question is how to reduce the amount of data transmitted to improve network performance? The work will include one of the dictionary compression methods which is Lempel Ziv Welch(LZW). One problem with the dictionary method is that the token size is fixed. The LZW dictionary method is not very useful with little data, because it loses many bytes when storing small-sized tokens. From the results obtained, the best compression ratios were in the proposed algorithm. The proposed work suggests using a dynamic size token where the tokens are classified according to their size(one byte, two bytes, or three bytes). The main idea of the proposed work is based on increasing the frequency of data to increase the compression ratio. To increase the frequency of data, the work suggests keeping the amount of incremental reading data instead of keeping the whole real data. Because the climate reading data changes very slowly, the amount of change would be frequent.

Adaptive multimode transmission in wireless sensor networks with energy harvesting

Limited energy has always been an important factor restricting the development of wireless sensor networks. The unbalanced energy consumption of nodes will accelerate the death of some nodes. To solve the above problems, an adaptive routing algorithm for energy collection sensor networks based on distributed energy saving clustering (DEEC) is proposed. In each hop of data transmission, the optimal mode is adaptively selected from four transmission modes: single-hop cooperative, multi-hop cooperative, single-hop non-cooperative and multi-hop non-cooperative, so as to reduce and balance the energy consumption of nodes. The performance of the proposed adaptive multi-mode transmission method and several benchmark schemes are evaluated and compared by computer simulation, where a few performance metrics such as the network lifetime and throughput are adopted. The results show that, the proposed method can effectively reduce the energy consumption of the network and prolong the network lifetime; it is superior to various benchmark schemes.

An effectual spectrum sharing and battery utilization strategy using fuzzy enabled dynamic relay polling transmission in WSN

Power dissipation at the network level to improve lifespan without degrading the bandwidth and collaboration is a fundamental impediment to effective spectral efficiency in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This issue is made much more difficult. Wireless energy transfer (WET) for energizing remote sensor nodes gained interest. This research explores an FDD-based on-demand scenario with many relays where a transmitter is powered by direct and relayed links. A threshold is set for transmission energy & channel quality to decide whether the broadcasting can be efficient (for spectrum utilization) or the packet would not arrive at its destination. The network model offers an energy-efficient scheduling strategy to decide whether to transmit information or not depending on the stored higher energy and network status. An energy-aware polling-based medium access control (MAC) mechanism, composite energy, and information first (CEDF) has also been developed to fine-tune packet delivery ratio by utilizing datagrams and energy packages to set polling prioritization. Computational simulations indicate that energy relayed and the recommended energy-efficient scheduled technique decrease the system’s active power losses supporting all theoretical predictions.

Optimized Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network Integrated with IoT: An Approach Based on Deep Convolutional Neural Network and Metaheuristic Algorithms

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have emerged as a significant architecture for data collection in various applications. However, the integration of WSNs with IoT poses energy-related challenges due to limited sensor node energy, increased energy consumption for wireless data sharing, and the necessity of energy-efficient routing protocols for reliable transmission and reduced energy consumption. This paper proposes an optimized energy-efficient routing protocol for wireless sensor networks integrated with the Internet of Things. The protocol aims to improve network lifetime and secure data transmission by identifying the optimal Cluster Heads (CHs) in the network, selected using a Tree Hierarchical Deep Convolutional Neural Network. To achieve this, the paper introduces a fitness function that takes into account cluster density, traffic rate, energy, collision, delay throughput, and distance from the capacity node. Additionally, the paper considers three factors, including trust, connectivity, and QoS, to determine the best course of action. The paper also presents a novel optimization approach, using the hybrid Marine Predators Algorithm (MPA) and Woodpecker Mating Algorithm (WMA), to optimize trust, connectivity, and QoS parameters for optimal path selection with minimal delay. The simulation process is implemented in MATLAB, and the developed method’s efficiency is evaluated using several performance metrics. The results of the simulation demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, which achieved significantly lower delay (99.67%, 98.38%, 89.34%, and 97.45%), higher delivery ratio (89.34%, 89.34%, 83.12%, and 88.96%), and lower packet drop (93.15%, 91.25%, 79.90%, and 92.88%) in comparison to existing methods. These outcomes indicate the potential of the optimized energy-efficient routing protocol to improve network lifetime and ensure secure data transmission in WSNs integrated with IoT.

Enabling secure data transmission for wireless sensor networks based IoT applications

The high volume of sensed and transferred data among nodes on wireless sensor networks makes it necessary to keep the data safe. This study offers an improved security mechanism, taking the application, security level, and bit error rate into account for wireless sensor networks. We used reserved bits of frame control field in the Zigbee MAC header to give the user the ability to choose between insecure or secure modes. Also, under particular circumstances (BER) using the cross-layered interaction mechanism, the network can switch to the other available algorithms due to special criteria. We selected RECTANGLE, Fantomas, and Camellia algorithms and compared their performance against AES to provide an alternative security solution for different scenarios according to various security demands. The performance evaluations were measured and compared for the memory usage, throughput, battery consumption, and end-to-end delay metrics. Our results suggest using SPN-based block ciphers than the Feistel-based structure.

A Review on Energy Efficient Routing Protocols and Security Techniques for Wireless Sensor Networks

Nowadays Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a very promising device to monitor environmental events, which are used in many application areas such as agriculture, environmental monitoring, air-water pollution, greenhouse, health monitoring, structural monitoring etc. Also, WSN needs effective and efficient way of collecting data from the area over which it is deployed, since the network consists of battery-operated nodes with limited energy. Improving the lifetime of WSN for continuous monitoring applications are very essential because of simple deployment, low installation cost, lack of cabling, and high mobility. The better energy conservation and reliable data transmission would be achieved in WSN by adopting efficient routing protocols for better and reliable communication. Also, security in data transmission in WSN is still a challenging task. Hence, a better way of encryption has to be computed to promote a reliable transmission between the nodes. In this paper discusses about different routing protocols which support energy efficiency and security techniques in WSN.

A Perfect Security Key Management Method for Hierarchical Wireless Sensor Networks in Medical Environments

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have developed during the past twenty years as a result of the accessibility of inexpensive, short-range, and simple-to-deploy sensors. A WSN technology sends the real-time sense information of a specific monitoring environment to a backend for processing and analysis. Security and management concerns have become hot topics with WSN systems due to the popularity of wireless communication channels. A large number of sensors are dispersed in an unmonitored medical environment, making them not safe from different risks, even though the information conveyed is vital, such as health data. Due to the sensor′s still limited resources, protecting information in WSN is a significant difficulty. This paper presents a hierarchical key management method for safeguarding heterogeneousWSNs on hybrid energy-efficient distributed (HEED) routing. In the proposed method, the Bloom scheme is used for key management and a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) to generate keys in an efficient method to keep sensor resources. In addition, using cipher block chaining-Rivest cipher 5 (CBC-RC5) in this method achieved cryptography goals such as confidentiality. A comparison is made between the proposed and existing methods such as dynamic secret key management (DSKM) and smart security implementation (SSI) under the same circumstance to determine the performance of the new method. The data transmission in WSN consumes about 71 percent of a sensor′s energy, while encryption computation consumes only 2 percent. As a result, our method reduces the frequency with which data transmissions are made during the key management process. The simulation findings demonstrated that, in comparison to earlier techniques, the proposed method is significantly more secure, flexible, scalable, and energy-efficient. Our proposed method is also able to prevent classifications of node capture attacks.
