With the widespread application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), WSN virtualization technology has received extensive attention. A key challenge in WSN virtualization is the survivable virtual network embedding (SVNE) problem which efficiently maps a virtual network on a WSN accounting for possible substrate failures. Aiming at the lack of survivability research towards physical sensor node failure in the virtualized sensor network, the SVNE problem is mathematically modeled as a mixed integer programming problem considering resource constraints. A heuristic algorithm—node reliability-aware backup survivable embedding algorithm (NCS)—is further put forward to solve this problem. Firstly, a node reliability-aware embedding method is presented for initial embedding. The resource reliability of underlying physical sensor nodes is evaluated and the nodes with higher reliability are selected as mapping nodes. Secondly, a fault recovery mechanism based on resource reservation is proposed. The critical virtual sensor nodes are recognized and their embedded physical sensor nodes are further backed up. When the virtual sensor network (VSN) fails caused by the failure physical node, the operation of the VSN is restored by backup switching. Finally, the experimental results show that the strategy put forward in this paper can effectively guarantee the survivability of the VSN, reduce the failure penalty caused by the physical sensor nodes failure, and improve the long-term operating income of infrastructure provider.

When aiming for the wider deployment of low-power sensor networks, the use of sub-GHz frequency bands shows a lot of promise in terms of robustness and minimal power consumption. Yet, when deploying such sensor networks over larger areas, the link quality can be impacted by a host of factors. Therefore, this contribution demonstrates the performance of several links in a real-world, research-oriented sensor network deployed in a (sub)urban environment. Several link characteristics are presented and analysed, exposing frequent signal deterioration and, more rarely, signal strength enhancement along certain long-distance wireless links. A connection is made between received power levels and seasonal weather changes and events. The irregular link performance presented in this paper is found to be genuinely disruptive when pushing sensor-networks to their limits in terms of range and power use. This work aims to give an indication of the severity of these effects in order to enable the design of truly reliable sensor networks.

In today’s World sensor networks offer various opportunities for data management applications because of their low cost, reliability, scalability, high-speed data processing, and other versatile advantageous purposes. It is a great challenge to organize data effectively and to retrieve the appropriate data from the large volume of various data sets in ad-hoc network databases, mobile databases, etc. The sensor network is necessary for routing of data, performance analysis of data management activities, and data incorporation for the right application. Data management involves intranet and extranet query handling, data access mechanism, modeling of data, different data movement algorithm, data warehousing, and data mining of network database. Additionally, connectivity, design, and lifetime are important issues for sensor networks to perform all data management activities smoothly. In this paper, we are trying to give a cognitive research tendency of Sensor network data management in the last two decades considering all the challenges and issues of both sensor network database and data management functions using Scopus and Web of Science database. To analyze data, different assessments are done considering various parameters like the author, time, publication and citation number, place, source, document separately for Web of Science and Scopus database in global perspective. It is noticed that there is a significant growth of research in data management for sensor networks because of the popularity of this topic.

In wireless sensor networks, the nodes around the base station have higher energy consumption due to the forwarding task of all the detected data. In order to balance the energy consumption of the nodes around the base station, a reasonable and effective mechanism of node rotation dormancy is put forward. In this way, a large number of redundant nodes in the network are in a dormant state, so as to reduce the load of important nodes around the base station. The problems of the redundant nodes in the sensor network are analyzed, and a new method is proposed to distinguish the redundant nodes based on local Delaunay triangulation and multi node election dormancy mechanism. The experimental results showed that this method could effectively distinguish the redundant nodes in the network; at the same time, through the multi round election mechanism, parts of redundant nodes are made dormant. In summary, they can reduce the network energy consumption on the condition of guaranteeing the original coverage.
