Integrity verification protocol based on privacy homomorphism data aggregation by Xing LI, Chun-yan LI, Liang-min WANG

“…Secure data aggregation in wireless sensor networks can effectively prevent privacy leakage,data tampering and other issues,it also achieves efficient data transmission.An integrity verification protocol based on privacy homomorphism data aggregation (IV-PHDA) was presented.The protocol uses homomorphism encryption to ensure data privacy,then it used random detection nodes to detect the integrity of the aggregated results to verify whether the aggregation node faithfully transmit each data packet.The theoretical analysis and simulation comparison verify the performance of the algorithm,the results show that this protocol can detect data integrity through transmission,and achieve better privacy protection and higher data accuracy.…”

Study on multi-channel reservation based MAC protocol for sensor networks by ZHANG De-sheng1, LI Jin-bao1, GUO Long-jiang1

“…Aiming at triple hidden terminal problems in wireless sensor networks,an adaptive duty cycle based multi-channel MAC protocol was proposed,called MCR.MCR efficiently handled triple hidden terminal problems with multiple channel reservation.By minimizing the lower bound of average times of channel switching in MCR,the optimal duty cycle in theoretical analysis was obtained.To investigate values of multiple channel reservation and dynamic duty cycling in MCR,extensive simulation and real testbed experiments were conducted.The results show that compared with other protocols,when the number of channels is larger or loads are heavy,M-cube improves throughput and energy effi-ciency significantly.…”

Adaptive energy-saving routing algorithm for inter-clustering communications in WSN by Wen-feng LI, Lian-feng SHEN, Jing HU

“…An adaptive routing algorithm was proposed for saving nter-clustering communication energy in wireless sensor networks (WSN).In the network,the end-to-end route discovery mechanism was based on the primary principle of the minimum communication costs.An algorithm was prop sed for inter-clustering communication optimization by adaptively selecting the most energy-efficient communication mode among direct,relaying and cooperative communications.The proposed routing algorithm guarantees that the source node can discover the minimum or sub-minimum energy consumption route to the base station.It also decreases the probability that the communications are interrupted due to the coverage holes.Compared with the other routing algorithms,the simu tion results show that the proposed routing algorithm makes WSN consume less energy in each round under the same throughput and bit error ratio (BER).It can also prolong the network lifetimes and operation times under the different node densities.…”
