For the serious impacts of network failure caused by the unbalanced energy consumption of sensor nodes, hardware failure, and attacker intrusion on data transmission, a low-energy-consumption distributed fault detection mechanism in a wireless sensor network (LEFD) is proposed in this paper. The time correlation information of nodes is used to detect fault nodes in LEFD firstly, and then the spatial correlation information is adopted to detect the remaining fault nodes, so as to check the states of nodes comprehensively and improve the efficiency of data transmission. In addition, the nodes do not need to exchange information with their neighbor nodes in the detection process since LEFD uses the data sensed by the node itself to detect some types of faults, thus reducing the energy consumption of nodes effectively. Performance analysis and simulation results show that the proposed detection mechanism can improve the transmission performance and reduce the energy consumption of the network effectively.

<span lang="EN-US">Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a distributed wireless connection that consists many wireless sensor devices. It is used to get information from the surrounding activities or the environment and send the details to the user for future work. Due to its advantages, WSN has been widely used to help people to collect, monitor and analyse data. However, the biggest limitation of WSN is about the network lifetime. Usually WSN has a small energy capacity for operation, and after the energy was used up below the threshold value, it will then be declared as a dead node. When this happens, the sensor node cannot receive and send the data until the energy is renewed. To reduce WSN energy consumption, the process of selecting a path to the destination is very important. Currently, the data transmission from sensor nodes to the cluster head uses a single hop which consumes more energy; thus, in this paper the enhancement of previous algorithm, which is MAP, the data transmission will use several paths to reach the cluster head. The best path uses a small amount of energy and will take a short time for packet delivery. The element of Shortest Path First (SPF) Algorithm that is used in a routing protocol will be implemented. It will determine the path based on a cost, in which the decision will be made depending on the lowest cost between several connected paths. By using the MATLAB simulation tool, the performance of SPF algorithm and conventional method will be evaluated. The expected result of SPF implementation will increase the energy consumption in order to prolong the network lifetime for WSN.</span>


A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a component with sensor nodes that continuously observes environmental circumstances. Sensor nodes accomplish different key operations like sensing temperature and distance. It has been used in many applications like computing, signal processing, and network selfconfiguration to expand network coverage and build up its scalability. The Unit of all these sensors that exhibit sensing and transmitting information will offer more information than those offered by autonomously operating sensors. Usually, the transmitting task is somewhat critical as there is a huge amount of data and sensors devices are restricted. Being the limited number of sensor devices the network is exposed to different types of attacks. The Traditional security mechanisms are not suitable for WSN as they are generally heavy and having limited number of nodes and also these mechanisms will not eliminate the risk of other attacks. WSN are most useful in different crucial domains such as health care, environment, industry, and security, military. For example, in a military operation, a wireless sensor network monitors various activities. If an event is detected, these sensor nodes sense that and report the data to the primary (base) station (called sink) by making communication with other nodes. To collect data from WSN base Stations are commonly used. Base stations have more resources (e.g. computation power and energy) compared to normal sensor nodes which include more or less such limitations. Aggregation points will gather the data from neighboring sensor nodes to combine the data and forward to master (base) stations, where the data will be further forwarded or processed to a processing center. In this manner, the energy can be preserved in WSN and the lifetime of network is expanded.

In this paper, a monitoring technique based on the wireless sensor network is investigated. The sensor nodes used for monitoring are developed in a simulation environment. Accordingly, the structure and workflow of wireless sensor network nodes are designed. Time-division multiple access (TDMA) protocol has been chosen as the medium access technique to ensure that the designed technique operates in an energy-efficient manner and packet collisions are not experienced. Fading channels, i.e., no interference, Ricean and Rayleigh, are taken into consideration. Energy consumption is decreased with the help of ad-hoc communication of sensor nodes. Throughput performance for different wireless fading channels and energy consumption are evaluated. The simulation results show that the sensor network can quickly collect medium information and transmit data to the processing center in real time. Besides, the proposed technique suggests the usefulness of wireless sensor networks in the terrestrial areas.

Energy efficiency in wireless sensor network (WSN) is one of the primary performance parameters. For improving the energy efficiency of WSN, we introduce distributed source coding (DSC) and virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) into wireless sensor network and then propose a new data transmission scheme called DSC-MIMO. DSC-MIMO compresses the source data using distributed source coding before transmitting, which is different from the existing communication schemes. Data compression can reduce the length of the data and improve the energy efficiency. In addition, DSC-MIMO does not require the cluster heads to collect the data of the source nodes, which reduces the frequencies of data transmission and saves energy. In the simulation, we analyze the energy consumption of DSC-MIMO. The results indicate that DSC-MIMO can effectively reduce the energy consumption and improve the energy efficiency of the whole wireless sensor network.

<p>Wireless sensor network consists of hundred or thousand sensor nodes that are connected together and work simultaneously to perform some special tasks. The restricted energy of sensor nodes is the main challenge in wireless sensor network as node energy depletion causes node death. Therefore, some techniques should be exerted to reduce energy consumption in these networks. One of the techniques to reduce energy consumptions most effectively is the use of clustering in wireless sensor networks.</p><p>There are various methods for clustering process, among which LEACH is the most common and popular one. In this method, clusters are formed in a probabilistic manner. Among clustering strategies, applying evolutional algorithm and fuzzy logic simultaneously are rarely taken into account. The main attention of previous works was energy consumption and less attention was paid to delay.</p><p>In the present proposed method, clusters are constructed by an evolutional algorithm and a fuzzy system such that in addition to a reduction of energy consumption, considerable reduction of delay is also obtained. The simulation results clearly reveal the superiority of the proposed method over other reported approaches.</p>


Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is developed extremely because of their low installation cost and various applications. WSN has compact and inexpensive sensor nodes for monitoring the physical environment. WSNs are susceptible to many attacks (e.g. malicious nodes) because of its distinct characteristics. The performance of node and network is affected by the malicious nodes. Moreover, the communication among the sensor nodes also required to be secured for preventing the data from the hackers. In this paper, the architecture of the WSN is generated by using the Fuzzy-C-Means clustering (FCM). Then the detection of the malicious nodes is performed by using the Acknowledgement Scheme (AS). This AS is integrated in the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based routing for avoiding the malicious nodes while generating the route from the source to the Base Station (BS). Then the Hybrid Encryption Algorithm (HEA) is used for performing the secure data transmission through the network and this proposed method is named as HEA-AS. The performance of the HEA-AS method is evaluated in terms of End to End Delay (EED), network lifetime, throughput, Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and Packet Loss Ratio (PLR). The proposed HEA-AS method is compared with the existing method called as CTCM to evaluate the effectiveness of the HEA-AS method.

In a wireless sensor network, sensor nodes are deployed in an ad hoc fashion and they deliver data packets using multihop transmission. However, transmission failures occur frequently in the multihop transmission over wireless media. Thus, a loss recovery mechanism is required to provide end-to-end reliability. In addition, because the sensor nodes are very small devices and have insufficient resources, energy-efficient data transmission is crucial for prolonging the lifetime of a wireless sensor network. This paper proposes a transmission power control mechanism for reliable data transmission, which satisfies communication reliability through recovery of lost packets. The proposed method calculates packet reception rate (PRR) of each hop to maintain end-to-end packet delivery rate (PDR), which is determined based on the desired communication reliability. Then, the transmission power is adjusted based on the PRR to reduce energy consumption. The proposed method was evaluated through extensive simulations, and the results show that it leads to more energy-efficient data transmission compared to existing methods.
