In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), spectrum sensing data falsification (SSDF) is one of the most typical attack which hugely degrades the detection performance of cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS). SSDF and defense strategies have been an active field of research, but countermeasures of existing researches are sensitive to the number of malicious users (MUs). In this paper, we propose a two-stage...
Data aggregation is a significant issue for marine wireless sensor networks. However, marine sensors are always deployed far away from the security monitoring. Thus, the secure data aggregation for marine sensor networks emerges and attracts the researchers and engineers. Multi-signature enables the data aggregation with a single signature to authenticate the message under different signers. However,...
In wireless sensor networks, grid-based clustering and routing schemes have attracted considerable attention due to their simplicity and feasibility. In this paper, we adopt a hexagonal tessellation approach and propose a Fast Hexagonal Clustering (FHC) algorithm for efficient data collection. The traffic load is intentionally concentrated at a small portion of Cluster Heads (CHs) and Convergence...
The effective energy control while maintaining reliable detection performance is a key problem in wireless sensor networks surveillance, such as blue-green algae surveillance. An intelligent wakening scheme (IWS) is proposed in this paper which considers different importance degrees of the grids in the surveillance zone. It uses a voronoi diagram to determine the effective scope of each sensor node...
In this paper, a kind of novel alarming access scheme is proposed for the pervasive and mobile healthcare application. This algorithm makes use of the wasted bandwidth in Contention Free Period in order to reduce transmission latency of alarming packets. The performance evaluation shows that this scheme can reduce the delay time of the alarming frame, especially in handling the time-critical problem...
Efficient and privacy-preserving data aggregation in a wireless sensor network (WSN) poses a tremendous challenge: how to cope with sensors compromise-once a sensor is compromised, its crypto material is compromised and so is privacy of aggregate data. To address this challenge, we propose two operationally simple and privacy-preserving protocols: PASKOS (Privacy-preserving based on Anonymously Shared...
In a cognitive radio network, cooperative spectrum sensing is conducted among the secondary users so as to improve the sensing performance. However, it's not necessary to cooperate all users to perform spectrum sensing while achieve a given error bound. In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimal number of secondary users in cooperative spectrum sensing. Moreover, an efficient and robust...
Localization is one of the critical tasks of the wireless sensor networks (WSN). Many applications such as environment monitoring, location service and target tracking need the sensors' location. In this paper, we propose a novel range-based distributed localization algorithm - S-MRL (sampling and Malguki refinement localization). Our algorithm is simple and simulation results show our algorithm achieves...
