In this paper we focus on the application of reinforcement learning to obstacle avoidance in dynamic Environments in wireless sensor networks. A distributed algorithm based on reinforcement learning is developed for sensor networks to guide mobile robot through the dynamic obstacles. The sensor network models the danger of the area under coverage as obstacles, and has the property of adoption o...

One of the most important and typical application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is target tracking. Although target tracking, can provide benefits for large-scale WSNs and organize them into clusters but tracking a moving target in cluster-based WSNs suffers a boundary problem. The main goal of this paper was to introduce an efficient and novel mobility management protocol namely Target Tr...

Advances in low-power electronics design and wireless communication have enabled the development of low cost, low power micro-sensor nodes. These sensor nodes are capable of sensing, processing and forwarding which have many applications such as underwater networks. In underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) applications, sensors which are placed in underwater environments and predicted ena...

A sensor node is composed of different parts including processing units, sensor, transmitter, receiver, and security unit. There are many nodes in a sensor unit. These networks can be used for military, industrial, medicine, environmental, house, and many other applications. These nodes may be established in the lands of enemies to monitor the relations. Hence, it is important to consider conse...

sybil attacks pose a serious threat for wireless sensor networks (wsn) security. they can create problems in routing, voting schemes, decision making, distributed storage and sensor re-programming. in a sybil attack,the attacker masquerades as multiple sensor identities, that are actually controlled by one or a few existing attacker nodes. sybil identities are fabricated out of stolen keys, obt...

wireless sensor network includes a large number of nodes which are distributed in a geographical location. the essential fact about wsn is that energy of nodes is limited. therefore, presenting proper solutions as an optimized routing is crucial to equally use energy of all nodes. in this paper we propose a method which performs routing in wsns using greedy approach. it is able to choose optimu...

in recent years, many researchers have been done in the area of wireless sensornetworks that has led to the variety of algorithms and methods for the collection andtransmission of environment information; but still many challenges faced bywireless sensor networks using methodologies are applied in various fields. such asmedia access control that due to the media being shared on these networks, ...

nowadays, wireless sensor network has been of interest to investigators and the greatest challenge in this part is the limited energy of sensors. sensors usually are in the harsh environments and transit in these environments is hard and impossible and moreover the nodes use non- replaceable batteries. because of this, saving energy is very important. in this paper we tried to decrease hard and...
