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...

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...

wireless sensor networks attracting a great deal of research interest. accurate localization of sensor nodes is a strong requirement in a wide area of applications. in recent years, several techniques have been proposed for localization in wireless sensor networks. in this paper we present a localization scheme with using only one mobile anchor station and received signal strength indicator tec...

wireless sensor networks, due to the characteristics of sensors such as wireless communication channels, the lack of infrastructure and targeted threats, are very vulnerable to the various attacks. routing attacks on the networks, where a malicious node from sending data to the base station is perceived. in this article, a method that can be used to transfer the data securely to prevent attacks...

Optimal Node Placement in Underwater Wireless Sensor Network Muhamad Felemban Almost 70% of planet Earth is covered by water. A large percentage of underwater environment is unexplored. In the past two decades, there has been an increase in the interest of exploring and monitoring underwater life among scientists and in industry. Underwater operations are extremely difficult due to the lack of ...

wireless sensor networks(wsn) have unique properties that distinguished them from other wireless networks and have special challenges. not-chargeable, not-changeable and limited power supplies of sensor nodes is the most important challenge of this networks, and if the power supply of node expired, a part of data maybe lost. because of the importance of covers in wireless sensors, in this work ...

sensor networks generally consist of a very great number of sensor nodes which will be spread into a vast environment and aggregate data out of it. the sensor nodes are afflicted with some limitations as follows memory, reception, communication as well as calculation capability, and battery power. the transmission of a great amount of extra data increases data transmission and proportionally in...

DTN is the latest growing technology breaking geographical barriers. The DTN layout & bundle protocol present a standard method for interconnecting heterogeneous challenged networks using asynchronous message switching. It furnishes a structure for dynamic routing, contact scheduling, naming, reliability and transmission status reports. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are often viewed as challe...

Delay tolerance is a major design concern for supporting underwater acoustic wireless sensor networks (UA-WSNs) to carry out tasks in harsh subsea environments. Due to the great difference between the underwater acoustic channel and the radio frequency channel, most of the existing routing protocols developed for terrestrial wireless sensor networks perform poorly in underwater acoustic communi...
