Charging path optimization in mobile wireless rechargeable sensor networks by Quanlong NIU, Riheng JIA, Minglu LI

“…The wireless power transfer technique is promising in solving the energy bottleneck of sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks, which can thus prolong the network lifetime or even maintain sustainable network operations.Most existing works focused on optimizing the static chargers’ deployment or mobile chargers’ charging path for static sensor nodes with fixed sensor node positions, ignoring the scenario with mobile sensor nodes.Thus, design and optimize the charging path of a mobile charger was studied for dynamic wireless sensor networks with mobile sensor nodes, to maximize the charging utility within a finite time horizon, that is, the charger can encounter as more sensor nodes as possible in a limited time and charge them.Notice that the mobile charger may stop to simultaneously charge multiple nodes within its charging range during its charging tour.The proposed charging path optimization problem was proven to be an APX-hard problem.Then, based on the constructed directed acyclic graph using discretization method, a layer-wise pruning algorithm based on the backtracking method was proposed.The proposed algorithm took the solution generated by the greedy algorithm as the benchmark and searched the optimal charging path under a fixed time division by layer-wise pruning.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the charging utility .…”

Weighted mixed regression localization method based on three-dimensional Voronoi diagram division by Fenfang LI, Xiaochao DANG, Zhanjun HAO

“…With the development of the wireless communication technology and sensing technology, various technologies based on wireless sensor networks are applied.These technologies are widely used in the fields of intelligent agriculture, intelligent transportation, fire rescue and so on.Node localization technology is one of the basic technologies of wireless sensor networks.Location information is a part of the sensing data, which determines the specific measures to be taken in the next step.Due to the complexity of the three-dimensional (3D) space localization environment, the application of the plane positioning method in 3D space will have some limitations.Aiming at above problems, the weighted hybrid regression location algorithm WMR-SKR based on a 3D Voronoi diagram was studied.The localization algorithm was divided into two stages: offline training and online testing.The 3D space was divided into Voronoi diagrams according to the anchor nodes in the network.In the offline training stage, the sequence composed of the coordinates of the anchor nodes and Voronoi cell vertices was used as the training set for training.In the online test stage, the coordinates of unknown nodes in the network were predicted through the trained localization model.Simulation results show that the WMR-SKR algorithm can effectively reduce the node localization error and improve the node localization speed in 3D space.…”

Novel and lightweight digital signature scheme by WANG Hou-zhen1, ZHANG Huan-guo1

“…Digital signatures have many applications in information security,including authentication,data integrity and non-repudiation.However,the number theoretic-based schemes such as RSA and ECC are relatively slow in performance.These schemes do not seem to be suitable for small computing devices with limited computing capacity,such as smart cards,wireless sensor networks,and active RFID tags.Based on the hash authentication technology,a novel lightweight digital signature scheme was proposed for achieving secure and efficient signature function.Security analysis and experimental results show that it can be used as a possible alternative to the current public key cryptosystems.…”

Integrity verification protocol based on privacy homomorphism data aggregation by Xing LI, Chun-yan LI, Liang-min WANG

“…Secure data aggregation in wireless sensor networks can effectively prevent privacy leakage,data tampering and other issues,it also achieves efficient data transmission.An integrity verification protocol based on privacy homomorphism data aggregation (IV-PHDA) was presented.The protocol uses homomorphism encryption to ensure data privacy,then it used random detection nodes to detect the integrity of the aggregated results to verify whether the aggregation node faithfully transmit each data packet.The theoretical analysis and simulation comparison verify the performance of the algorithm,the results show that this protocol can detect data integrity through transmission,and achieve better privacy protection and higher data accuracy.…”

Study on multi-channel reservation based MAC protocol for sensor networks by ZHANG De-sheng1, LI Jin-bao1, GUO Long-jiang1

“…Aiming at triple hidden terminal problems in wireless sensor networks,an adaptive duty cycle based multi-channel MAC protocol was proposed,called MCR.MCR efficiently handled triple hidden terminal problems with multiple channel reservation.By minimizing the lower bound of average times of channel switching in MCR,the optimal duty cycle in theoretical analysis was obtained.To investigate values of multiple channel reservation and dynamic duty cycling in MCR,extensive simulation and real testbed experiments were conducted.The results show that compared with other protocols,when the number of channels is larger or loads are heavy,M-cube improves throughput and energy effi-ciency significantly.…”
