key distribution is an important problem in wireless sensor networks where sensor nodesare randomly scattered in adversarial environments.due to the random deployment of sensors, a list of keys must be pre-distributed to each sensor node before deployment. to establish a secure communication, two nodes must share common key from their key-rings. otherwise, they can find a key- path in which ens...

mobile sensor networks rely heavily on inter-sensor connectivity for collection of data. nodes in these networks monitor different regions of an area of interest and collectively present a global overview of some monitored activities or phenomena. a failure of a sensor leads to loss of connectivity and may cause partitioning of the network into disjoint segments. a number of approaches have bee...

extensive researches on wireless sensor networks (wsns) have been performed and many techniques have been developed for the data link (mac) layer. most of them assume single-channel mac protocols. in the usual dense deployment of the sensor networks, single-channel mac protocols may be deficient because of radio collisions and limited bandwidth. hence, using multiple channels can significantly ...

heretofore several position-based routing protocols have been developed for mobile ad hoc networks. many of these protocols assume that a location service is available which provides location information on the nodes in the network.our solutions decrease location update without loss of query success rate or throughput and even increase those.simulation results show that our methods are effectiv...

This paper presents new analytical results for evaluating the ALOHA-like multi-class random access wireless network’s performance. The proposed model is motivated by growth of low-power networks that employ protocols. In particular, we compare our formulation with system-level simulations Long Range (LoRa) technology. We show provides an accurate approximation LoRaWAN performance capturing its ...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have many applications in the areas of commercial, military and environmental requirements. Regarding the deployment of low cost sensor nodes with restricted energy resources, these networks face a lot of security challenges. A basic approach for preparing a secure wireless communication in WSNs, is to propose an efficient cryptographic key management protocol be...

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...

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...
