Attack-Resistant Location Estimation In Wireless Sensor Networks, Dongdang Liu, Peng Ning, An Liu, Cliff Wang, Wenliang Kevin Du Jan 2004

Attack-Resistant Location Estimation In Wireless Sensor Networks, Dongdang Liu, Peng Ning, An Liu, Cliff Wang, Wenliang Kevin Du

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship

Many sensor network applications require sensors’ locations to function correctly. Despite the recent advances, location discovery for sensor networks in hostile environments has been mostly overlooked. Most of the existing localization protocols for sensor networks are vulnerable in hostile environments. The security of location discovery can certainly be enhanced by authentication. However, the possible node compromises and the fact that location determination uses certain physical features (e.g., received signal strength) of radio signals make authentication not as effective as in traditional security applications. This paper presents two methods to tolerate malicious attacks against range-based location discovery in sensor networks. The …


A Predictive Sensor Network Using Ant System, Rajani Muraleedharan, Lisa Ann Osadciw Jan 2004

A Predictive Sensor Network Using Ant System, Rajani Muraleedharan, Lisa Ann Osadciw

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship

The need for a robust predictive sensor communication network inspired this research. There are many critical issues in a communication network with different data rate requirements, limited power and bandwidth. Energy consumption is one of the key issues in a sensor network as energy dissipation occurs during routing, communication and monitoring of the environment. This paper covers the routing of a sensor communication network by applying an evolutionary algorithm- the ant system. The issues considered include optimal energy, data fusion from different sensor types and predicting changes in environment with respect to time.
