3D Virtual Biomimetic Network: a Topology for Resilient Intelligent Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless data communication has a key role in any updated information technology-based project. Mobility, flexibility, scalability, and easy-to-install are the main features of wireless data acquisition systems. While the limited lifetime, availability, failure risk, and reliability are still significant challenges. Inspired by the spider webs, as an attractive natural communication topology, this work proposes using the spider webs topology to design reliable and resilient, intelligent wireless sensor networks to be implemented for wireless data acquisition, aiming to provide promising solutions for such problems. The paper provides several definitions for innovated concepts and relevant notations such as the virtual thread, virtual thread thickness, virtual thread density, sensor nodes and base station deployment, data shortest path, data path resiliency, and reliability, from spider webs point of view. Then, it describes the significant research challenges to be addressed for applicable 3D Virtual spider webs. Also, it illustrates the customization approach of 3D virtual spider webs of wireless data acquisition for service, security, resources planning, and decision making.
