    Zheng Zhang1, Yanan Liu1, *, Qinyuan Zuo1, Lein Harn2, Shuo Qiu1, Yuan Cheng1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.64, No.2, pp. 1261-1280, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.010034 - 10 June 2020

    Abstract Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) can be seen as kind of hardware oneway functions, who are easily fabricated but difficult to clone, duplicate or predict. Therefore, PUFs with unclonable and unpredictable properties are welcome to be applied in designing lightweight cryptography protocols. In this paper, a Basic Key Distribution Scheme (Basic-KDS) based on PUFs is firstly proposed. Then, by employing different deployment modes, a Random Deployment Key Distribution Scheme (RD-KDS) and a Grouping Deployment Key Distribution Scheme (GD-KDS) are further proposed based on the Basic-KDS for large scale wireless sensor networks. In our proposals, a sensor More >

    Nature Inspired Improved Firefly Algorithm for Node Clustering in WSNs

    V. Manikandan1, *, M. Sivaram1, Amin Salih Mohammed2, V. Porkodi3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.64, No.2, pp. 753-776, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.010267 - 10 June 2020

    Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) comprises low power devices that are randomly distributed in a geographically isolated region. The energy consumption of nodes is an essential factor to be considered. Therefore, an improved energy management technique is designed in this investigation to reduce its consumption and to enhance the network’s lifetime. This can be attained by balancing energy clusters using a meta-heuristic Firefly algorithm model for network communication. This improved technique is based on the cluster head selection technique with measurement of the tour length of fireflies. Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) scheduler is also improved… More >

    Pipeline Scheduling Based on Constructive Interference in Strip Wireless Sensor Networks

    Xiangmao Chang1, 2, *, Xiaoxiang Xu1, Deliang Yang3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.64, No.1, pp. 193-206, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.08183 - 20 May 2020

    Abstract Strip Wireless Sensor Networks (SWSNs) have drawn much attention in many applications such as monitoring rivers, highways and coal mines. Packet delivery in SWSN usually requires a large number of multi-hop transmissions which leads to long transmission latency in low-duty-cycle SWSNs. Several pipeline scheduling schemes have been proposed to reduce latency. However, when communication links are unreliable, pipeline scheduling is prone to failure. In this paper, we propose a pipeline scheduling transmission protocol based on constructive interference. The protocol first divides the whole network into multiple partitions and uses a pipelined mechanism to allocate active More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.64, No.1, pp. 81-96, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.08851 - 20 May 2020

    Abstract In the past few decades, Energy Efficiency (EE) has been a significant challenge in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). WSN requires reduced transmission delay and higher throughput with high quality services, it further pays much attention in increased energy consumption to improve the network lifetime. To collect and transmit data Clustering based routing algorithm is considered as an effective way. Cluster Head (CH) acts as an essential role in network connectivity and perform data transmission and data aggregation, where the energy consumption is superior to non-CH nodes. Conventional clustering approaches attempts to cluster nodes of same… More >

    Wuxiong Zhang1, 2, Weidong Fang1, 2, *, Qianqian Zhao1, 2, Xiaohong Ji3, Guoqing Jia3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.63, No.2, pp. 787-811, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2020.07620 - 01 May 2020

    Abstract Energy efficiency is very important for the Internet of Things (IoT), especially for front-end sensed terminal or node. It not only embodies the node’s life, but also reflects the lifetime of the network. Meanwhile, it is also a key indicator of green communications. Unfortunately, there is no article on systematic analysis and review for energy efficiency evaluation in IoT. In this paper, we systemically analyze the architecture of IoT, and point out its energy distribution, Furthermore, we summarized the energy consumption model in IoT, analyzed the pros and cons of improving energy efficiency, presented a More >

    Abstract Wireless sensor networks are increasingly used in sensitive event monitoring. However, various abnormal data generated by sensors greatly decrease the accuracy of the event detection. Although many methods have been proposed to deal with the abnormal data, they generally detect and/or repair all abnormal data without further differentiate. Actually, besides the abnormal data caused by events, it is well known that sensor nodes prone to generate abnormal data due to factors such as sensor hardware drawbacks and random effects of external sources. Dealing with all abnormal data without differentiate will result in false detection or More >

    Abstract Transmission pipelines are vulnerable to various accidents and acts of vandalism. Therefore, a reliable monitoring system is needed to secure the transmission pipelines. A wireless sensor network is a wireless network consisting of distributed devices distributed at various distances, which monitors the physical and environmental conditions using sensors. Wireless sensor networks have many uses, including the built-in sensor on the outside of the pipeline or installed to support bridge structures, robotics, healthcare, environmental monitoring, etc. Wireless Sensor networks could be used to monitor the temperature, pressure, leak detection and sabotage of transmission lines.

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.25, No.2, pp. 231-242, 2019, DOI:10.31209/2018.100000040

    Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) empower the reflection of the environment with an extraordinary resolve. These systems are combination of several minuscule squat-cost, and stumpy-power on-chip transceiver sensing motes. Characteristically, a sensing device comprises of four key gears: an identifying element for data attainment, a microcontroller for native data dispensation, a message component to permit the broadcast/response of data to/from additional associated hardware, and lastly, a trivial energy source. Near field frequency series and inadequate bandwidth of transceiver device drags to multi-stage data transactions at minimum achievable requirements.

    Research on Time Synchronization Method Under Arbitrary Network Delay in Wireless Sensor Networks

    Bing Hu1, Feng Xiang2, Fan Wu3, Jian Liu4, Zhe Sun1, Zhixin Sun1,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.61, No.3, pp. 1323-1344, 2019, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2019.06414

    Abstract To cope with the arbitrariness of the network delays, a novel method, referred to as the composite particle filter approach based on variational Bayesian (VB-CPF), is proposed herein to estimate the clock skew and clock offset in wireless sensor networks. VB-CPF is an improvement of the Gaussian mixture kalman particle filter (GMKPF) algorithm. In GMKPF, Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm needs to determine the number of mixture components in advance, and it is easy to generate overfitting and underfitting. Variational Bayesian EM (VB-EM) algorithm is introduced in this paper to determine the number of mixture components adaptively More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.121, No.1, pp. 83-103, 2019, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2019.06897

    Abstract The wireless sensor network (WSN) is widely employed in the application scenarios of the Internet of Things (IoT) in recent years. Extending the lifetime of the entire system had become a significant challenge due to the energy-constrained fundamental limits of sensor nodes on the perceptual layer of IoT. The clustering routing structures are currently the most popular solution, which can effectively reduce the energy consumption of the entire network and improve its reliability. This paper introduces an enhanced hybrid intelligential algorithm based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and ant colony optimization (ACO) method. The enhanced More >
