Natural Spontaneous Order in Wireless Sensor Networks: Time Synchronization Based On Entrainment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Time is critical for a variety of applications in wireless sensor networks. In this work we present, theoretically analyze and evaluate in practice a simple time synchronization algorithm for wireless sensor networks, based on entrainment. This algorithm requires no specialized servers or beacons but it relies on local communication between neighboring nodes spontaneously emerging to global network synchrony. Its simplicity, accuracy and precision are examined through the practical implementation of tho different kinds of wireless sensor networks. Synchronization error on the order of microseconds is observed 100% of the time, with minimal communication and computation cost tailored to the available resources of the wireless sensor network nodes.

متن کاملA Novel Ensemble Approach for Anomaly Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Time-overlapped Sliding Windows
One of the most important issues concerning the sensor data in the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is the unexpected data which are acquired from the sensors. Today, there are numerous approaches for detecting anomalies in the WSNs, most of which are based on machine learning methods. In this research, we present a heuristic method based on the concept of “ensemble of classifiers” of data minin...
متن کاملA JOINT DUTY CYCLE SCHEDULING AND ENERGY AWARE ROUTING APPROACH BASED ON EVOLUTIONARY GAME FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
Network throughput and energy conservation are two conflicting important performance metrics for wireless sensor networks. Since these two objectives are in conflict with each other, it is difficult to achieve them simultaneously. In this paper, a joint duty cycle scheduling and energy aware routing approach is proposed based on evolutionary game theory which is called DREG. Making a trade-off ...

متن کاملLPKP: location-based probabilistic key pre-distribution scheme for large-scale wireless sensor networks using graph coloring
Communication security of wireless sensor networks is achieved using cryptographic keys assigned to the nodes. Due to resource constraints in such networks, random key pre-distribution schemes are of high interest. Although in most of these schemes no location information is considered, there are scenarios that location information can be obtained by nodes after their deployment. In this paper,...
