Due to the fast boom of security threats in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) sensitive applications, we propose a game-theoretic protection approach for sensor nodes in a clustered WSN based on a repeated game. The proposed game model is developed for detecting malicious sensor nodes that drop the high priority packets (HPPs) aiming at maximizing the high priority data trustworthiness (HPT). Simulation...
In energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks (WSNs), not only energy savings but also efficient energy utilization is required. This study suggests a scheme that indicates when to send data decided by predicting the remaining energy of a node, and aggregates sensed data to increase the amount of data arrived at the sink node. With this method, if the estimated remaining energy of a node is expected...
Coverage holes can appear in a WSN after a random deployment or at any time due to massive disaster or a depletion of batteries. Detecting the exact boundary of coverage holes is important because it offers many advantages : it facilitates the relocation of sensor nodes, it reroutes the sensing data around the coverage hole and controls the network topology to improve coverage and connectivity of...

One of the most important challenges in heterogeneous wireless sensor network (WSN) is to design a routing protocol that use energy efficiently to prolong the lifetime of the entire network due to the limited battery power of sensor nodes.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which powered by batteries are widely used in military, healthcare, and scientific environments. One important challenge for setting WSN is the energy problem. Power management is one of efficient solutions for such problem and must be taken into account at all levels of the WSN. However, the power management may be out of action when the WSN suffers malicious attacks...
The use of sensor networks has increased rapidly over the last years. Due to their low resources, sensors come along with new issues regarding network security and energy consumption. Focusing on the network availability, previous studies proposed to protect the network against denial of service attacks with the use of traffic monitoring agents on some nodes. But if the control nodes go down or get...

The simulation is nowadays one of the most widespread instruments for analyzing the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Unfortunately, the most widespread WSN simulators today have only the basic model for the battery, which does not account many of the important real-life hardware dependences. Therefore in the paper we are suggesting a novel approach to modeling the energy consumption for battery-powered...

This paper lays the foundations for the concept of Wirelessly Charged Networks (WCNs). A WCN can be briefly defined as a network of electronic devices that can store and wirelessly exchange electrical energy between one another. After covering the original paradigms of electrical energy generation, transmission and use, WCN emerges as a plausible solution to small scale wireless energy transmission...
Clustering is one of the basic approaches for designing energy-efficient and scalable distributed sensor networks. HEED is a well known energy efficient clustering protocol. In this protocol, the message overhead is low and cluster heads are distributed fairly across the network. Our distributed clustering protocol, HEED*, improves HEED protocol to achieve energy efficiency with three techniques:...
