Classifying fluctuating operating wireless environments can be crucial for successfully delivering authentic and confidential packets and for identifying legitimate signals. This study utilizes raw in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) samples, exclusively, to develop a low-order statistical feature set for wireless signal classification. Edge devices making decentralized decisions from I/Q sample analysis is beneficial. Implementing appropriate security and transmitting mechanisms, reducing retransmissions and increasing energy efficiency are examples. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and their Internet of Things (IoT) utilization emphasize the significance of this time series classification problem. Here, I/Q samples of typical WSN and industrial, scientific and medical band transmissions are collected in a live operating environment. Analog Pluto software-defined radios and Raspberry Pi devices are utilized to achieve a low-cost yet high-performance testbed. Features are extracted from Matlab-based statistical analysis of the I/Q samples across time, frequency (fast Fourier transform) and space (probability density function). Noise, ZigBee, continuous wave jamming, WiFi and Bluetooth signal data are examined. Supervised machine learning approaches, including support vector machines, Random Forest, XGBoost, k nearest neighbors and a deep neural network (DNN), evaluate the developed feature set. The optimal approach is determined as an XGBoost/SVM classifier. This classifier achieves similar accuracy and generalization results, on unseen data, to the DNN, but for a fraction of time and computation requirements. Compared to existing approaches, this study’s principal contribution is the developed low-order feature set that achieves signal classification without prior network knowledge or channel assumptions and is validated in a real-world wireless operating environment. The feature set can extend the development of resource-constrained edge devices as it is widely deployable due to only requiring received I/Q samples and these features are warranted as IoT devices become widely used in various modern applications.

This paper details the architecture and describes the preliminary experimentation with the proposed framework for anomaly detection in medical wireless body area networks for ubiquitous patient and healthcare monitoring. The architecture integrates novel data mining and machine learning algorithms with modern sensor fusion techniques. Knowing wireless sensor networks are prone to failures resulting from their limitations (i.e. limited energy resources and computational power), using this framework, the authors can distinguish between irregular variations in the physiological parameters of the monitored patient and faulty sensor data, to ensure reliable operations and real time global monitoring from smart devices. Sensor nodes are used to measure characteristics of the patient and the sensed data is stored on the local processing unit. Authorized users may access this patient data remotely as long as they maintain connectivity with their application enabled smart device. Anomalous or faulty measurement data resulting from damaged sensor nodes or caused by malicious external parties may lead to misdiagnosis or even death for patients. The authors' application uses a Support Vector Machine to classify abnormal instances in the incoming sensor data. If found, the authors apply a periodically rebuilt, regressive prediction model to the abnormal instance and determine if the patient is entering a critical state or if a sensor is reporting faulty readings. Using real patient data in our experiments, the results validate the robustness of our proposed framework. The authors further discuss the experimental analysis with the proposed approach which shows that it is quickly able to identify sensor anomalies and compared with several other algorithms, it maintains a higher true positive and lower false negative rate.

Energy Efficient Routing

This research was conducted to enhance the energy performance of wireless sensor networks (WSN) and improve the performance of end-to-end delay and packet receiving rate of network operation. In this study, the low-energy data collection routing algorithm and adaptive environment sensing method in WSN were mainly examined. The node centrality, energy surplus, and node temperature were calculated for cluster head selection to reduce the energy consumption of nodes and improve the reliability of network data. The research results have shown that the parameter setting guided by the theoretical analysis makes each node selfishly achieve the maximum expected benefit while the whole network runs reliably, and the energy consumption is reduced by the selfishness of the node. As a result, the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the network energy consumption and increase the network life cycle of wireless sensor networks. It can be seen that the machine learning methods such as support vector machine are used to model and analyze the state of the sensing node, and to obtain more accurate wireless channel availability judgment based on the historical state data, thereby adaptively adjusting the working duty ratio and reducing the invalidity data sent.

Faulty Node

Wireless sensor networks are used in machine learning for data communication and classification. Sensor nodes in network suffer from low battery power, so it is necessary to reduce energy consumption. One way of decreasing energy utilization is reducing the information transmitted by an advanced machine learning process called support vector machine. Further, nodes in WSN malfunction upon the occurrence of malicious activities. To overcome these issues, energy conserving and faulty node detection WSN is proposed. SVM optimizes data to be transmitted via one-hop transmission. It sends only the extreme points of data instead of transmitting whole information. This will reduce transmitting energy and accumulate excess energy for future purpose. Moreover, malfunction nodes are identified to overcome difficulties on data processing. Since each node transmits data to nearby nodes, the misbehaving nodes are detected based on transmission speed. The experimental results show that proposed algorithm provides better results in terms of reduced energy consumption and faulty node detection.

This article addresses the problem of outlier detection for wireless sensor networks. As increasing amounts of observational data are tending to be high-dimensional and large scale, it is becoming increasingly difficult for existing techniques to perform outlier detection accurately and efficiently. Although dimensionality reduction tools (such as deep belief network) have been utilized to compress the high-dimensional data to support outlier detection, these methods may not achieve the desired performance due to the special distribution of the compressed data. Furthermore, because most existed classification methods must solve a quadratic optimization problem in their training stage, they cannot perform well in large-scale datasets. In this article, we developed a new form of classification model called “deep belief network online quarter-sphere support vector machine,” which combines deep belief network with online quarter-sphere one-class support vector machine. Based on this model, we first propose a model training method that learns the radius of the quarter sphere by a sorting method. Then, an online testing method is proposed to perform online outlier detection without supervision. Finally, we compare the proposed method with the state of the arts using extensive experiments. The experimental results show that our method not only reduces the computational cost by three orders of magnitude but also improves the detection accuracy by 3%–5%.

Data Description

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are susceptible to faults in sensor data. Outlier detection is crucial for ensuring the quality of data analysis in WSNs. This paper proposes a novel improved support vector data description method (ID-SVDD) to effectively detect outliers of sensor data. ID-SVDD utilizes the density distribution of data to compensate SVDD. The Parzen-window algorithm is applied to calculate the relative density for each data point in a data set. Meanwhile, we use Mahalanobis distance (MD) to improve the Gaussian function in Parzen-window density estimation. Through combining new relative density weight with SVDD, this approach can efficiently map the data points from sparse space to high-density space. In order to assess the outlier detection performance, the ID-SVDD algorithm was implemented on several datasets. The experimental results demonstrated that ID-SVDD achieved high performance, and could be applied in real water quality monitoring.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are often deployed in harsh and unattended environments, which may cause the generation of abnormal or low quality data. The inaccurate and unreliable sensor data may increase generation of false alarms and erroneous decisions, so it’s very important to detect outliers in sensor data efficiently and accurately to ensure sound scientific decision-making. In this paper, an outlier detection algorithm (TSVDD) using model selection-based support vector data description (SVDD) is proposed. Firstly, the Toeplitz matrix random feature mapping is used to reduce the time and space complexity of outlier detection. Secondly, a novel model selection strategy is realized to keep the algorithm stable under the low feature dimensions, this strategy can select a relatively optimal decision model and avoid both under-fitting and overfitting phenomena. The simulation results on SensorScope and IBRL datasets demonstrate that, TSVDD achieves higher accuracy and lower time complexity for outlier detection in WSNs compared with existing methods.
