With the steep increase in wireless devices, the requirement of the spectrum has increased for communication. However, despite huge demand, the available spectrum is underutilized. The cognitive radio network (CRN) is more challenging environment as compared to conventional mobile ad hoc network because of node mobility and dynamic channel availability. Therefore, we propose a localized clustering scheme, which aims to provide better stability, scalability, efficient spectrum management, and reduce communication overhead. Each node computes its weight and shares with its one hop neighbours, and a node with maximal weight becomes the cluster head. Subsequently, the neighbour nodes sharing the channel(s) with a cluster head join it to form a cluster. To provide fault tolerance, vice-cluster head is also selected along with cluster head. We compare the performance of our protocol with competing protocols in the CRN. Finally, we present analytic as well as simulation study of our protocol and provide a method to handle the cluster dynamics. (c) 2018 The Authors.

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has been proving to be a suitable application domain for wireless sensor networks, whose techniques attempt to autonomously evaluate the integrity of structures, occasionally aiming at detecting and localizing damage. In this paper, we propose a localized algorithm supported by multilevel information fusion techniques to enable detection, localization and extent determination of damage sites using the resource constrained environment of a wireless sensor network. Each node partakes in different network tasks and has a localized view of the whole situation, so collaboration mechanisms and multilevel information fusion techniques are key components of this proposal to efficiently achieve its goal. Experimental results with the MICAz mote platform showed that the algorithm performs well in terms of network resources utilization. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Several protocols have been proposed to date to defend against wormhole attacks in wireless networks by adopting synchronized clocks, positioning devices, or directional antennas. These requirements and assumptions limit their applicability especially in the case of mobile networks where the degree of association and de-association between the nodes is relatively high. In this work, we present a novel lightweight countermeasure for the wormhole attack, called LDAC (localized-Decentralized algorithm for Countering wormholes). It is completely localized and works by looking for simple evidence that no attack is taking place, using only connectivity information, as implied by the underlying communication graph. LDAC is not confined to static networks but extends naturally to dynamic and even mobile ones. Rigorous arguments that prove the correctness of the algorithm are coupled with detailed performance evaluation along with an implementation on real sensor devices that demonstrates its efficiency in terms of memory requirements and processing overhead.

Boundary node detection is essential in various application scenarios of wireless networks. However, most previous solutions are only suitable for planar networks with densely and evenly distributed nodes. They cannot satisfy scenarios where nodes are unevenly deployed on open surfaces because the nodes may have different heights, densities, and inter-distances. In this work, we propose a scheme named Surrounding Triangle Validation to detect boundary nodes in wireless networks with uneven node distribution on open surfaces. This solution randomly generates triangles from the 1-hop neighbors of a testing node and validates these triangles. The triangle generation step accepts the triangles with their two endpoints connected by one or more relay nodes in the areas with uneven node density. Then, the generated triangles surrounding the testing node are picked out by point in triangle tests. In the last step, the selected triangles are compared according to the characteristics of a special kind of boundary node to ensure the results of our method. We test our solution in networks with different node densities on several open surfaces. Simulation results show that our method works effectively. It detects boundary nodes more correctly than previous solutions.

Power use is a crucial design concern in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks since it corresponds directly to the network operational time. In this paper, we study the issue of power-efficient use in the following two aspects: Selecting power-efficient routes and performing efficient localized topology control to assign reduced transmit powers at nodes while preserving the global optimal connectivity. We proposed a localized topology control algorithm using two-hop neighborhood knowledge, which works to build local shortest path tree at each node independently in order to generate a reduced topology while preserving the global optimal connectivity. We derive the energy stretch ratio and maximum degree performance of our proposed algorithm as well as several existing algorithms in this aspect. We then devise three power-efficient on-demand routing protocols on top of various localized topology control algorithms, which are to acquire minimum-power paths while minimizing the associated protocol overhead for route discovery by utilizing local network state information and also packet receipt status at neighbor nodes. We further derive the asymptotical performance of the routing strategy in our protocols in terms of energy stretch ratio and route acquisition latency when network nodes operate at limited discrete power levels. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the high performance of our topology control algorithm and also the devised routing protocols.

Spanner construction is one of the most important techniques for topology control in wireless networks. A spanner can help not only to decrease the number of links and to maintain connectivity but also to ensure that the distance between any pair of communication nodes is within some constant factor from the shortest possible distance. Due to the non-locality, constructing a spanner is especially challenging under the physical interference model signal-to-interference-and-noise-ratio (SINR). In this paper, we develop two localized randomized algorithms SINRdirected- YG and SINR-undirected-YG to construct a directed Yao graph (YG) and an undirected YG in O(log n) (n is the number of wireless nodes) time slots with a high probability, in which each node is capable of performing successful local broadcasts to gather neighborhood information within a certain region and the SINR constraint is satisfied at all the steps of the algorithms. The resultant graph of SINR-undirected-YG, which is based on SINR-directed-YG, possesses a constant stretch factor 1/1-2 sin(pi/c), where c > 6 is a constant. To the best of our knowledge, SINR-undirected-YG is the first spanner construction algorithm under SINR. We also obtain Yao-Yao graph under SINR. Extensive theoretical performance analysis and simulation study are carried out to verify the effectiveness and the efficiency of our proposed algorithms.

In this paper we present an algorithm for the Maximum Lifetime Broadcast (MLB) problem, i.e. the problem of extending network lifetime when a series of broadcast operations is executed. The algorithm, called DLMCA, is localized (it uses only 2-hop information) and supports asymmetric edge costs, i.e. those scenarios where the cost of sending a message from a node u to node v might be different from the cost of sending a message from v to u. Addressing asymmetry of edge costs is an important issue, as it arises in different scenarios, such as in heterogeneous networks or when overhearing costs are taken into consideration. According to our experiments, DLMCA outperformed alternative solutions to the problem. As far as we know, DLMCA is the first localized algorithm to the MLB problem with asymmetric edge costs.

Efficient network coverage and connectivity are the requisites for most Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) deployments, particularly those concerned with area monitoring. Due to the resource constraints of the sensor nodes, redundancy of coverage area must be reduced for effective utilization of the available resources. If two nodes have the same coverage area in their active state, and if both the nodes are activated simultaneously, it leads to redundancy in network and wastage of precious sensor resources. In this paper, we address the problem of network coverage and connectivity and propose an efficient solution to maintain coverage, while preserving the connectivity of the network. The proposed solution aims to cover the area of interest (AOI), while minimizing the count of the active sensor nodes. The overlap region of two sensor nodes varies with the distance between the nodes. If the distance between two sensor nodes is maximized, the overall coverage area of these nodes will also be maximized. Also, to preserve the connectivity of the network, each sensor node must be in the communication range of at least one other node. Results of simulation of the proposed solution indicate up to 95% coverage of the area, while consuming very less energy of 9.44J per unit time in the network, simulated in an area of 2500 m(2).

Pervasive computing environments (PvCE) are embedded with interconnected smart devices which provide users with services desired. To meet requirements of users, smart devices with different kinds of functions may need to be associated together to provide the service described in the user requirement, which is called service composition. As the service composition environment may be dynamic and large scale, centralized service composition algorithm is usually inefficient due to message cost. On the other hand, a decentralized approach, which employs pre-determined coordinators to search and compose service, may have high cost as well. In this paper, we discuss a localized approach for service composition based on the Ubiquitous Interacting Object (UIO) model we have proposed earlier. UIO is an abstraction of physical devices in PvCE with ability to find and collaborate with other devices through exposing their capabilities as services. In our localized service composition algorithm (LASEC), UIOs collaborate with each other in a bottom-up, localized manner to compose required service without requiring global knowledge. To solve the problem of blind compositions in LASEC, we propose a novel mechanism called Alien-information- based Acknowledging (A-Ack), in which a UIO decides on collaborating with another UIO only after obtaining some additional information from the collaboration candidate. Specifically, this information refers to ability of a given UIO to compose another part of the service. Proposed LASEC is message-efficient and quality-guaranteed. Extensive simulations of LASEC as well as existing decentralized and pull-based centralized algorithms have been conducted. The results show the relatively low communication cost and composition time of LASEC. Moreover, we demonstrate feasibility of our approach with a prototype implementation.

Many applications of wireless sensor networks involve monitoring a time-variant event (e. g., radiation pollution in the air). In such applications, fast boundary detection is a crucial function, as it allows us to track the event variation in a timely fashion. However, the problem becomes very challenging as it demands a highly efficient algorithm to cope with the dynamics introduced by the evolving event. Moreover, as many physical events occupy volumes rather than surfaces (e. g., pollution again), the algorithm has to work for 3-D cases. Finally, as boundaries of a 3-D network can be complicated 2-manifolds, many network functionalities (e. g., routing) may fail in the face of such boundaries. To this end, we propose localized Boundary Detection and Parametrization (LBDP) to tackle these challenges. The first component of LBDP is UNiform Fast On-Line boundary Detection (UNFOLD). It applies an inversion to node coordinates such that a "notched" surface is "unfolded" into a convex one, which in turn reduces boundary detection to a localized convexity test. We prove the correctness and efficiency of UNFOLD;we also use simulations and implementations to evaluate its performance, which demonstrates that UNFOLD is two orders of magnitude more time-and energy-efficient than the most up-to-date proposal. Another component of LBDP is localized Boundary Sphericalization (LBS). Through purely localized operations, LBS maps an arbitrary genus-0 boundary to a unit sphere, which in turn supports functionalities such as distinguishing interboundaries from external ones and distributed coordinations on a boundary. We implement LBS in TOSSIM and use simulations to show its effectiveness.
