There are many applications for which location information plays a crucial role. Finding location information by a sensor node is called the localization problem. The major challenge is to determine the location of unknown nodes based on the known location of other nodes. In this paper, a range-free localization scheme based on fuzzy-logic approach has been proposed. The localization scheme uses the...
Cluster Head (CH) selection has a key role to maintain the energy level of the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Clustering and appropriate CH selection reduces communication overhead by using data aggregation, resulting in prolonged system life time. In this paper, homogeneous WSNs are considered where all the sensor nodes have the same energy. A Fuzzy Logic Based Control system is proposed which...
In Wireless Sensor and Actor Network (WSANs), sensors and actors collaborate together to get the information about the physical environment and perform appropriate actions. In order to provide effective sensing and acting, a distributed local coordination mechanism is necessary among sensors and actors. In this work, we consider the actor node selection problem and we propose a fuzzy-based system...
The application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has been greatly improved by the advance of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and radio frequency (RF) technology. Compared with the traditional networks, WSNs are data-centric, self-configuring and self healing. In this paper, a novel probabilistic fuzzy logic based localisation algorithm is proposed which can be effectively used in three-dimensional...

Extending the lifetime of the wireless sensor networks has always been a crucial challenge for the researchers. Most of the energy is consumed in data transmission to the sink. In the recent past some researchers have suggested mobile sink method to minimize energy consumption in wireless sensor networks. The movement of sink is governed by fuzzy logic based mechanism. In this work base station is...

The most important consideration in designing protocols for wireless sensor networks is the energy constraint of nodes because in most cases battery recharging is inconvenient or impossible. Therefore, many research have been done to overcome this demerit. Clustering is one of the main approaches in designing scalable and energy-efficient protocols for wireless sensor networks. The cluster heads take...

Clustering sensor nodes is an effective topology control for increasing network lifetime and scalability. It also, balances the load on the sensor nodes. HEED is a well known distributed clustering protocol that uses both energy and communication cost to elect Cluster Heads (CHs) in a probabilistic way. This paper improves HEED protocol using fuzzy logic and a non probabilistic approach for CH election...

The sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network (WSN) are typically characterized by limited power supply, low bandwidth, small memory sizes and limited energy, leading to a very demanding environment to provide security. In this paper, we propose a protocol named fuzzy logic-based energy efficient packet loss preventive routing protocol (FEEPRP) that adopts a routing algorithm which imparts security...
