The Impact Of Transmission Power Levels Set Size On Lifetime Of Wireless Sensor Networks In Smart Grids, Hüseyi̇n Uğur Yildiz Jan 2018

The Impact Of Transmission Power Levels Set Size On Lifetime Of Wireless Sensor Networks In Smart Grids, Hüseyi̇n Uğur Yildiz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been confirmed as one of the most promising technologies for many smart grid (SG) applications due to their low complexity and inexpensive costs. A typical WSN is formed with numerous battery limited sensor nodes mounted on critical components of a SG system for monitoring applications. Acquired monitoring data by sensor nodes are conveyed to the base station generally by using multihop communication techniques. WSN-based SG applications encounter severe propagation losses due to extreme channel conditions of the SG environment. In order to reduce possible packet errors caused by channel variations, transmission power control approaches can …


Path Planning And Energy Flow Control Of Wireless Power Transfer For Sensor Nodes In Wireless Sensor Networks, Chenyang Xia, Yang Zhang, Yuling Liu, Kezhang Lin, Jun Chen Jan 2018

Path Planning And Energy Flow Control Of Wireless Power Transfer For Sensor Nodes In Wireless Sensor Networks, Chenyang Xia, Yang Zhang, Yuling Liu, Kezhang Lin, Jun Chen

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), limited-capacity batteries are generally used for powering sensor nodes, where unbalanced electricity is the primary cause of premature death of WSNs. In this paper, wireless power transfer networks are used to power batteries in WSNs to avoid the problem of limited lifetime of traditional limited-capacity batteries. Furthermore, path planning based on the Dijkstra algorithm, which aims at minimizing the overall energy consumption in the network to improve system efficiency, is discussed in detail. Finally, three power transfer models with low contention level (LCL) topology for energy flow control are experimentally validated from the optimal path.

Ensuring energy efficiency, data reliability, and security is important in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A combination of variants from the cryptographic secret sharing technique and the disjoint multipath routing scheme is an effective strategy to address these requirements. Although Shamir's secret sharing (SSS) provides the desired reliability and information-theoretic security, it is not energy efficient. Alternatively, Shamir's ramp secret sharing (SRSS) provides energy efficiency and data reliability, but is only computationally secure. We argue that both these approaches may suffer from a compromised node (CN) attack when a minimum number of nodes is compromised. Hence, we propose a new scheme …


Indoor Localization Of Wireless Emitter Using Direct Position Determination And Particle Swarm Optimization, Saeid Hassanhosseini, Mohammad Reza Taban, Jamshid Abouei Jan 2018

Indoor Localization Of Wireless Emitter Using Direct Position Determination And Particle Swarm Optimization, Saeid Hassanhosseini, Mohammad Reza Taban, Jamshid Abouei

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Many methods are introduced to accomplish determining the position of emitters with respect to known-position receivers in indoor localizations. Among them, the direct position determination (DPD) approach advocates using the received signals by all the base stations together in order to estimate the locations in a single step. However, DPD is not very accurate due to the use of a gridding area, the effect of noise, and the multipath phenomenon. In order to improve the DPD performance, we derive an analytic model based on weighted least square estimation that uses simultaneously the effect of delay, Doppler, attenuation, and angle of …
