Aiming at the costly explicit and implicit acknowledgements (ACKs) and the serious energy imbalance of the existing flooding algorithm, a correlation-based coverage-aware and energy-balanced probabilistic flooding algorithm (CCEP) is proposed in this paper. CCEP distinguishes previous flooding algorithms with three features: (1) it exploits the link correlation between neighbours; the one-hop neighbours that have high link correlation are assigned to an aggregate explicit or implicit acknowledgement (aggregate ACK), thus effectively ameliorating the ACK implosion problem and saves energy on both data transmit and ACKs; (2) it balances the residual energy of sensor nodes; (3) it achieves target reliability and energy efficiency by tracking real-time aggregate ACKs and probabilistically deciding whether to retransmit a packet. The simulation results reveal that CCEP saves more than 50% energy on explicit and implicit ACKs in most cases while achieving target reliability; CCEP simultaneously reduces network variance of residual energy, thus prolonging the network lifetime.

In the sensor network with a hierarchical topology, the set of sensors is divided into subsets, and each one of them has some defined tasks to accomplish. If a sensor stops executing its tasks inactive, the sensor network becomes useless or provides false information. To solve this problem, this paper presents a new protocol based on the election concept, where an election process will be triggered once a sensor ceased communicating with the others nodes; one of the existed sensors will be elected, to execute, besides its previous tasks, those of the inactive sensor. We discuss the simulation of our protocol in case of a wireless sensor network for indoor localisation purpose, and analyse its performance regarding the needed time to replace an inactive sensor in several levels of the network hierarchy.

Barrier coverage is an important issue in wireless sensor networks, which guarantees to detect any intruder attempting to cross a barrier or penetrating a protected region monitored by sensors. However, the barrier coverage problem in wireless camera sensor networks WCSNs is different from that in scalar sensor networks. In this paper, based on k, ω-angle coverage, we study the minimum k, ω-angle barrier coverage problem in WCSNs. We first present the technique to deploy minimum number of camera sensors to form a k, ω-angle barrier. Then propose a novel method to select the minimum number of camera sensors from an arbitrary deployment to form a k, ω-angle barrier. Though our simulation, we confirm that our algorithms reduce the number of sensors required comparing to the state-of-art algorithm.

To effectively prevent the generation of crack, it is necessary to monitor and control the temperature and stress of the mass concrete. Unlike the usual methods on structure damage identification, a new mass concrete structure damage identification system is demonstrated based on wireless sensor networks WSNs and mobile agent technology. With the identification system, parallel information on the temperature and stress distributed throughout the concrete can be collected and processed by way of wireless sensor nodes. The application of mobile agents in WSNs can improve the collaboration, coordination and information fusion between heterogeneous systems and effectively reduce the transmission of redundant data and node power consumption. It is convenient and reliable to install the system, in which the structure and design can be analysed in detail and field tests can also be accomplished. The experimental results show that this system can achieve real-time online damage identification of the temperature and stress of the mass concrete construction.

In the domain of medicine and healthcare M&HC, wireless sensor networks WSNs play a more and more important role. Under some special situations, the object of the WSN is moving leading to the problems of target tracking. Since real-time and communication amount is crucial for the WSN target tracking, the performance of target tracking in the WSN is critically depended on real-time and communication amount reduction. This paper presents a target tracking method based on distributed adaptive particle filtering in binary WSN. On the basis of dynamic clustering, the adaptive particle filter receives the observations from children nodes and formulates the local estimate with the cluster head as the processing centre. Simulation results show that the method can effectively improve the real-time tracking and reduce communication amount.

The swing state of high-altitude platform HAP may critically impact the communication links of HAP stations HAPS. Current studies have significant limitations and, therefore, do not accurately reflect the actual situation. This paper considers the impact platform swing has on wireless links through modelling. A wireless link model reflecting the swing state of HAP is proposed, and the problems associated with HAPs' instability are resolved. Furthermore, in this study issues concerning inefficient and poor communication quality, caused by significant random validation in receiving and transmitting signal in case of platform swing, are also solved. Finally, the validity of the proposed model is confirmed through numerical analysis and simulation.

With the development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), many applications require for the privacy preserving. Providing an efficient privacy-preserving data aggregation in WSNs is becoming more and more important. The secure data aggregation in WSNs has been studied in recent years, but most of the algorithms are suffering from the high computation overhead and high communication overhead, and some of the algorithms do not supply the data integrity checking. To resolve these problems, a modified private-preserving data aggregation based on complex number algorithm for WSN is proposed in this paper. An efficient key distribution scheme is used in the algorithm to improve the security of the key. The complex number is used in the algorithm to protect the privacy and check the data integrity. According to the analysis in the paper, the algorithm is efficient in terms of communication, computation and integrity checking.

For the problem of wireless location error caused by the effects of environmental factors on received signal strength indication (RSSI) and link quality indicator (LQI), this paper put forward a new self-adaptive distance correction algorithm, which adopted Gaussian model to sift RSSI and LQI. Besides, a direction correction factor and a distance threshold were defined in the improved trilateration localisation algorithm and the improved distance difference correction localisation algorithm. This algorithm with the advantages of short locating time, low hardware spending and little power consumption can effectively improve the location accuracy. The simulation results proved that its location precision was more than 97.3%, which is quite practical for wireless location.

3D model-based coverage of directional sensor networks DSNs is one of the emerging research topics in recent decades. To further remedy the deficiency of the 2D directional sensing model that cannot accurately characterise the actual DSNs, a 3D directional sensing model is established in this paper, and the key parameters are calculated precisely that may be utilised in any algorithms. Moreover, motivated by the existing coverage-enhancing algorithm of WSNs, hybrid optimisation algorithm for area coverage enhancement HOA-ACE is also proposed that is an improvement of particle swarm optimisation PSO and conjugate gradient algorithm CGA. In the proposed hybrid optimisation algorithm HOA, we not only focus on the global searching, but also trying to reduce possibility of falling into the local optimum. Finally, simulation results are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Besides, another simulation experiment results show the effect of some aspects based on our proposed model.
