Abstract In recent times, wireless sensor network (WSN) finds their suitability in several application areas, ranging from military to commercial ones. Since nodes in WSN are placed arbitrarily in the target field, node localization (NL) becomes essential where the positioning of the nodes can be determined by the aid of anchor nodes. The goal of any NL scheme is to improve the localization accuracy and reduce the localization error rate. With this motivation, this study focuses on the design of Intelligent Aquila Optimization Algorithm Based Node Localization Scheme (IAOAB-NLS) for WSN. The presented IAOAB-NLS model makes use of anchor nodes to… More >

Abstract The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are vulnerable to assaults due to the fact that the devices connected to them have a reliable connection to the internet. A malicious node acts as the controller and uses a grey hole attack to get the data from all of the other nodes in the network. Additionally, the nodes are discarding and modifying the data packets according to the requirements of the system. The assault modifies the fundamental concept of the WSNs, which is that different devices should communicate with one another. In the proposed system, there is a fuzzy idea offered for the… More >

Abstract Wireless sensor network (WSN) includes a set of self-organizing and homogenous nodes employed for data collection and tracking applications. It comprises a massive set of nodes with restricted energy and processing abilities. Energy dissipation is a major concern involved in the design of WSN. Clustering and routing protocols are considered effective ways to reduce the quantity of energy dissipation using metaheuristic algorithms. In order to design an energy aware cluster-based route planning scheme, this study introduces a novel Honey Badger Based Clustering with African Vulture Optimization based Routing (HBAC-AVOR) protocol for WSN. The presented HBAC-AVOR model mainly aims to cluster… More >

Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) encompass a massive set of sensor nodes, which are self-configurable, inexpensive, and compact. The sensor nodes undergo random deployment in the target area and transmit data to base station using inbuilt transceiver. For reducing energy consumption and lengthen lifetime of WSN, multihop routing protocols can be designed.

An important intention of the IRSO-EAMHR method is for determining optimal routes to base station (BS) in the clustered WSN. Primarily, a weighted clustering process is performed to group the nodes into… More >

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks are composed of autonomous sensing devices which are interconnected to form a closed network. This closed network is intended to share sensitive location-centric information from a source node to the base station through efficient routing mechanisms. The efficiency of the sensor node is energy bounded, acts as a concentrated area for most researchers to offer a solution for the early draining power of sensors.

Abstract Recently, energy harvesting wireless sensor networks (EHWSN) have increased significant attention among research communities. By harvesting energy from the neighboring environment, the sensors in EHWSN resolve the energy constraint problem and offers lengthened network lifetime. Clustering is one of the proficient ways for accomplishing even improved lifetime in EHWSN. The clustering process intends to appropriately elect the cluster heads (CHs) and construct clusters. Though several models are available in the literature, it is still needed to accomplish energy efficiency and security in EHWSN. In this view, this study develops a novel Chaotic Rider Optimization Based Clustering Protocol for Secure Energy… More >

Abstract Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) interlink numerous Sensor Nodes (SN) to support Internet of Things (loT) services. But the data gathered from SNs can be divulged, tempered, and forged. Conventional WSN data processes manage the data in a centralized format at terminal gadgets. These devices are prone to attacks and the security of systems can get compromised. Blockchain is a distributed and decentralized technique that has the ability to handle security issues in WSN. The security issues include transactions that may be copied and spread across numerous nodes in a peer-peer network system. This breaches the mutual trust and allows data… More >

Abstract Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a vital element in Internet of Things (IoT) as the former enables the collection of huge quantities of data in energy-constrained environment. WSN offers independent access to the target region and performs data collection in an effective manner. But energy constraints remain a challenging issue in WSN since it operates on in-built battery. The studies conducted earlier recommended that the energy spent on communication process must be considerably reduced to improve the efficiency of WSN.
