Anomaly Event Detection Method Based on Compressive Sensing and Iteration in Wireless Sensor Networks

Anomaly event detection is one of the research hotspots in wireless sensor networks. Aiming at the disadvantages of current detection solutions, a novel anomaly event detection algorithm based on compressed sensing and iteration is proposed. Firstly, a measured value can be sensed in each node, based on the compressed sensing. Then the problem of anomaly event detection is modeled as the minimization problem of weighted l1 norm, and OMP algorithm is adopted for solving the problem iteratively. And then the result of problem solving is judged according to detection functions. Finally, in the light of the judgment results, the weight value is updated for beginning a new round iteration. The loop won't stop until all the anomaly events are detected in wireless sensor networks. Simulation experimental results show the proposed algorithm has a better omission detection rate and false alarm rate in different noisy environments. In addition, the detection quality of this algorithm is higher than those of the traditional ones.
