However, the increasing number of intelligent devices joining the MMSN poses a growing threat to network security. Current Artificial Intelligence(AI) intrusion detection techniques turn intrusion detection into a classification problem, where AI excels. These techniques assume sufficient high-quality instances for model construction, which is often unsatisfactory for real-world operation with limited attack instances and constantly evolving characteristics. This paper proposes an Adaptive Personalized Federated learning(APFed) framework that allows multiple MMSN owners to engage in collaborative training. By employing an adaptive personalized update and a shared global classifier, the adverse effects of imbalanced, Non-Independent and Identically Distributed(Non-IID) data are mitigated, enabling the intrusion detection model to possess personalized capabilities and good global generalization. In addition, a lightweight intrusion detection model is proposed to detect various attacks with an effective adaptation to the MMSN environment. Finally, extensive experiments on a classical network dataset show that the attack classification accuracy is improved by about 5% compared to most baselines in the global scenarios.展开更多

摘要Energy sustainability and secure operation are persistent challenges in Internet-of-Things(IoT)wireless sensor networks(WSNs),where limited battery capacity,heterogeneous traffic,and security procedures jointly drive premature node depletion and service degradation.This paper proposes an uncertainty-aware bilevel co-optimization framework that unifies residual-energy prediction with robust,energy-aware scheduling for clustered IoT-WSNs.At the lower level,a lightweight temporal predictor(TCN+LSTM with stochastic sampling)learns short-horizon residual-energy evolution from multivariate,dataset-aligned windows capturing sensing/communication activity,proximity-to-cluster-head effects,and security overhead(authentication latency,key exchange,and rekeying),and produces both point forecasts and uncertainty estimates to enable risk-sensitive control.At the upper level,a constrained,horizon-based scheduler selects per-node actions(duty cycle,sensing rate,transmission power)to extend network lifetime and balance residual energy while enforcing safety thresholds and operational bounds;bilevel coupling is realized via differentiable hypergradient updates,complemented by trust-region action smoothing and adaptive primal–dual constraint handling to suppress energy-critical states under uncertainty.On a real-world WSN energy–security dataset,the proposed model attains the best lower-level learning performance with MAE=0.004,RMSE=0.006,and R²=0.995 for residual-energy regression,and up to 0.98 accuracy/0.98 F1 for secure-and-efficient classification.End-to-end scheduling results show that the full framework improves estimated network lifetime by up to 1.60×,reduces residual-energy variance to 0.60×,and lowers safety violations to 0.35×relative to a fixed-policy baseline,demonstrating robust,secure,and sustainable IoT-enabled WSN operation.

摘要The rapid growth of the Internet of Things(IoT)has led to dense wireless sensor networks(WSNs)deployed in critical applications such as smart cities,industrial monitoring,and healthcare.However,energy constraints,unpredictable communication delays,and inefficient data aggregation remain significant challenges that limit network reliability and operational lifespan.Traditional approaches often fail to balance delay minimization with energy efficiency,especially in large-scale or dynamic networks.To address these issues,this study proposes CTSO-DRNN,a novel framework that integrates Chronological Tangent Search Optimization(CTSO)with a Deep Recurrent Neural Network(DRNN)for accurate delay prediction and optimized data aggregation.The framework constructs Link Delay-Distance(LDD)trees to guide hierarchical communication and leverages CTSO to optimize the DRNN for predicting network delays,enabling adaptive scheduling and energy-aware operation.Experimental findings from simulated WSNs comprising 100 to 250 nodes indicate that the CTSO-DRNN approach decreases the average communication delay by roughly 28%to 60%,increases link lifetime by 8%to 30%,and reduces routing distance by 14%to 25%when compared to various leading-edge techniques across diverse network densities.These improvements highlight the framework’s ability to maintain low latency,prolong network operation,and enhance overall energy efficiency.

摘要The emergence of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)-enabled Wireless Energy Transfer(WET)and Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer(SWIPT)technology provide a promising solution to overcome the energy sustainability limitations of traditional harvesting-reliant sensor networks.However,in large-scale Battery-free SWIPT-enabled Sensor Networks(BSSN)characterized by sparse node distribution and heterogeneous energy consumption and harvesting rates,employing a single UAV for energy replenishment often suffers from insufficient operation continuity and low charging efficiency.To overcome these challenges,a Multi-UAV Collaborative Energy Charging for BSSN Based on Multi-Agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient(MCEC-MADDPG)is proposed in this paper.Specifically,we construct a collaborative one-to-one precision energy supply model where UAVs hover directly above specific nodes to achieve power transmission without complex beamforming requirements.To achieve collaborative scheduling among multiple UAVs in wide-area dynamic environments,the energy replenishment problem is first formulated as a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process(POMDP).Subsequently,the Centralized Training with Decentralized Execution(CTDE)architecture of the MADDPG algorithm is leveraged to solve this POMDP,which effectively tackles the non-stationarity challenge inherent in multi-agent environments.Simulation results demonstrate that MCEC-MADDPG exhibits superior performance in terms of convergence speed and stability.It enables the adaptive emergence of spatial-division collaborative strategies,significantly enhances the average residual energy of the network,and elevates the node survival rate to nearly 90%.Compared with Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient(DDPG),the traditional static Partition-Greedy method,the heuristic K-Means algorithm and the dynamic Two-Layer task allocation strategy,the proposed approach demonstrates substantial advantages.
摘要For the wide-coverage application scenarios,wireless rechargeable sensor networks are normally divided into multiple clusters to support the diversity and flexibility for monitoring,and use the mobile charger(MC)to support the sustainable charging of the network.Many efforts focus on optimizing the cluster head selection and mobile charger scheduling to improve the network energy efficiency and reliability.However,the existing work tends to use fixed triggering mechanism for cluster head(CH)rotation,and may trigger the rotation either too early or too late.Besides,the existing charging triggering mechanisms cannot track the changes in network topology in real time.As a result,both the network energy efficiency and the node failure rate degenerate correspondingly.To solve these problems,this work proposes a dynamic cluster head selection algorithm(DCHSA),which evaluates potential candidate CH sets based on the energy consumption,remaining energy and topological structure,and then select a new CH within this set based on the CH rotation energy consumption and the candidate CH evaluation mechanism.Furthermore,an adaptive dual-threshold selection algorithm based on dynamic energy consumption(ADTSA-DEC)is proposed to determine the set of requiring charging nodes and the trigger time for charging scheduling.The particle swarm optimization is then employed to implement the charging scheduling.Finally,extensive simulations validate that the newly proposed algorithms have outstanding accuracy and robustness in improving overall network energy efficiency and node survivability compared with existing methods.
摘要Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs)are important infrastructure for smart-city applications,such as environmental monitoring,public safety,and smart transportation.However,finding effective sensor locations is an NP-hard problem because a deployment must satisfy sensing coverage and communication connectivity while minimizing the number of sensors.Following the basic framework of a previous study,this study replaces the original optimization algorithmwith the Amplitude-Ensemble Quantum-inspired Tabu Search(AEQTS)algorithmand retains the same entanglement-like initialization strategy,resulting in the proposed AEQTSwE(AEQTS with Entanglement)framework for theWSNdeployment problem.AEQTSwE uses a quantum-inspired search mechanism and an ensemble update strategy to explore the solution space more efficiently,while the retained initialization strategy provides highquality initial deployments.Experimental results show that AEQTSwE reduces the number of deployed sensors while satisfying the required coverage and connectivity constraints.It also converges faster and producesmore stable solutions than existing approaches under different conditions.Sensitivity,ablation,statistical,and complexity analyses further show that AEQTSwE has low parameter sensitivity,stable performance,and potential for larger and more complex deployment scenarios.

摘要Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks(UWSNs)are exceedingly critical for large-scale underwater applications,such as environmental monitoring,infrastructure inspection,target tracking,and marine surveillance.Nevertheless,network lifetime and communication reliability are severely constrained by harsh underwater acoustic conditions,limited battery power,large propagation delays,node mobility,and uneven energy consumption.In response to these issues,this study proposes a Climate-Aware Hybrid Clustering and Routing(CA-HCR-UWSN)framework to enable sustainable,long-term underwater monitoring.This work proposes a hybrid framework that combines Elephant Herding Optimization(EHO)with the Gravitational Search Algorithm(GSA)to provide an effective solution to these challenges.To minimize unnecessary transmissions and energy usage within the clusters,a chain-oriented data aggregation mechanism based on Chain-Oriented Sensor Network(COSEN)is used,with the parameters of the climate and the underwater acoustic channel clearly taken into consideration.Moreover,a reliability-conscious inter-cluster routing policy that accounts for signal-to-noise ratio,packet error rate,and link reliability is also established to ensure reliable data delivery in a dynamic underwater environment.Extensive simulation results indicate that CA-HCR-UWSN consistently outperforms state-of-the-art protocols,including FCMMFO,MCR-UWSN,EE-UWSN,WDFAD-DBR,and EESLEPRP.The proposed framework achieves an 18%-25%increase in the network’s common lifetime,a 15%-20%increase in packet delivery,20%-26%energy savings,and a 17%-22%decrease in end-to-end delay compared with existing methods,along with better load balancing and network stability.These findings verify that CA-HCR-UWSN is a strong,scalable,and energy-efficient solution for long-term,climate-conscious underwater sensing applications.

摘要With the development of internet of things(IoT)technology,sensor networks are used in a wide variety of fields.However,the energy replenishment of sensor nodes(SNs)is still a challenge.In this paper,we propose an unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)wireless charging strategy(WCS),which can jointly maximize the system profit and the number of survival nodes through an efficient charging order.To effectively reduce the data transmission delay,we group the nodes to realize the data collection solely by cluster head(CH).In the proposed charging order algorithm,we particularly design a CH replacement scheme when the original head runs out of energy before the UAV arrives.Compared with other UAV charging schemes,the proposed WCS shows a better performance in terms of system profit and time delay.Furthermore,it ensures a rather satisfying node survival rate.

摘要Hop-constrained packet routing is a fundamental problem in wireless sensor networks(WSNs),where latency constraints,energy limitations,and practical feasibility requirements greatly restrict routing choices.Traditional methods based on shortest path and greedy routing have low complexity but cannot adapt to dynamic network changes well,while reinforcement learning for routing has the potential to adapt to network variations but has not been well explored in the hard hop-constrained setting.The current study attempts to fill the gap by modeling hop-constrained routing as the decision-making problem in a finite-horizon setting.An integrated simulation environment is proposed that unifies the concept of feasibility-aware action masking,energy-and trust-aware routing mechanisms,and simulation-related evaluation criteria.In this unified environment,four representative reinforcement learning methods,REINFORCE,Advantage Actor-Critic(A2C),Proximal Policy Optimization(PPO),and Deep Q-Network(DQN),are applied and validated against greedy forwarding,shortest-path routing,and Dijkstra routing under strict(H=5)and relaxed(H=15)hop limits using multi-seed testing.Under tight hop constraints,Dijkstra achieves a delivery success rate of 1.000,while greedy routing reaches 0.950±0.014.Among the learning algorithms,PPO,A2C,and DQN reach approximately 0.945±0.014 at their best checkpoints with near-baseline hop efficiency,indicated by an average hop count of about 4.34±0.04.Under relaxed hop constraints,Dijkstra remains at 1.000,greedy forwarding reaches 0.984±0.008,and PPO,A2C,and DQN achieve high best-checkpoint success rates of approximately 0.991-0.992.REINFORCE improves under the relaxed setting but remains less stable than the stronger learned policies.The experiments show that feasibility-aware learning can approach deterministic baseline reliability while retaining learned forwarding capability under hop constraints.The ablation results further confirm that action masking is the dominant mechanism for maintaining feasible routing decisions,whereas trust mainly provides reliability-aware regularization.These observations emphasize the need to evaluate RL-based routing using deployment-level metrics,including success probability,hop-count distribution,invalid-action rate,route-risk rate,and return,rather than relying only on training reward.
摘要It is difficult to improve both energy consumption and detection accuracy simultaneously,and even to obtain the trade-off between them,when detecting and tracking moving targets,especially for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks(UWSNs).To this end,this paper investigates the relationship between the Degree of Target Change(DoTC)and the detection period,as well as the impact of individual nodes.A Hierarchical Detection and Tracking Approach(HDTA)is proposed.Firstly,the network detection period is determined according to DoTC,which reflects the variation of target motion.Secondly,during the network detection period,each detection node calculates its own node detection period based on the detection mutual information.Taking DoTC as pheromone,an ant colony algorithm is proposed to adaptively adjust the network detection period.The simulation results show that the proposed HDTA with the optimizations of network level and node level significantly improves the detection accuracy by 25%and the network energy consumption by 10%simultaneously,compared to the traditional adaptive period detection schemes.

摘要Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN)have gained significant attention over recent years due to their extensive applications in various domains such as environmentalmonitoring,healthcare systems,industrial automation,and smart cities.However,such networks are inherently vulnerable to different types of attacks because they operate in open environments with limited resources and constrained communication capabilities.Thepaper addresses challenges related to modeling and analysis of wireless sensor networks and their susceptibility to attacks.Its objective is to create versatile modeling tools capable of detecting attacks against network devices and identifying anomalies caused either by legitimate user errors or malicious activities.A proposed integrated approach for data collection,preprocessing,and analysis in WSN outlines a series of steps applicable throughout both the design phase and operation stage.This ensures effective detection of attacks and anomalies within WSNs.An introduced attackmodel specifies potential types of unauthorized network layer attacks targeting network nodes,transmitted data,and services offered by the WSN.Furthermore,a graph-based analytical framework was designed to detect attacks by evaluating real-time events from network nodes and determining if an attack is underway.Additionally,a simulation model based on sequences of imperative rules defining behaviors of both regular and compromised nodes is presented.Overall,this technique was experimentally verified using a segment of a WSN embedded in a smart city infrastructure,simulating a wormhole attack.Results demonstrate the viability and practical significance of the technique for enhancing future information security measures.Validation tests confirmed high levels of accuracy and efficiency when applied specifically to detecting wormhole attacks targeting routing protocols in WSNs.Precision and recall rates averaged above the benchmark value of 0.95,thus validating the broad applicability of the proposed models across varied scenarios.

摘要With the rapid development of advanced networking and computing technologies such as the Internet of Things, network function virtualization, and 5G infrastructure, new development opportunities are emerging for Maritime Meteorological Sensor Networks(MMSNs). However, the increasing number of intelligent devices joining the MMSN poses a growing threat to network security. Current Artificial Intelligence(AI) intrusion detection techniques turn intrusion detection into a classification problem, where AI excels. These techniques assume sufficient high-quality instances for model construction, which is often unsatisfactory for real-world operation with limited attack instances and constantly evolving characteristics. This paper proposes an Adaptive Personalized Federated learning(APFed) framework that allows multiple MMSN owners to engage in collaborative training. By employing an adaptive personalized update and a shared global classifier, the adverse effects of imbalanced, Non-Independent and Identically Distributed(Non-IID) data are mitigated, enabling the intrusion detection model to possess personalized capabilities and good global generalization. In addition, a lightweight intrusion detection model is proposed to detect various attacks with an effective adaptation to the MMSN environment. Finally, extensive experiments on a classical network dataset show that the attack classification accuracy is improved by about 5% compared to most baselines in the global scenarios.
摘要Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs)have emerged as crucial tools for real-time environmental monitoring through distributed sensor nodes(SNs).However,the operational lifespan of WSNs is significantly constrained by the limited energy resources of SNs.Current energy efficiency strategies,such as clustering,multi-hop routing,and data aggregation,face challenges,including uneven energy depletion,high computational demands,and suboptimal cluster head(CH)selection.To address these limitations,this paper proposes a hybrid methodology that optimizes energy consumption(EC)while maintaining network performance.The proposed approach integrates the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy with Deterministic(LEACH-D)protocol using an Artificial Neural Network(ANN)and Bayesian Regularization Algorithm(BRA).LEACH-D improves upon conventional LEACH by ensuring more uniform energy usage across SNs,mitigating inefficiencies from random CH selection.The ANN further enhances CH selection and routing processes,effectively reducing data transmission overhead and idle listening.Simulation results reveal that the LEACH-D-ANN model significantly reduces EC and extends the network’s lifespan compared to existing protocols.This framework offers a promising solution to the energy efficiency challenges in WSNs,paving the way for more sustainable and reliable network deployments.
摘要Fault tolerance is essential for reliable and sustainable smart city infrastructure.Interconnected IoT systems must function under frequent faults,limited resources,and complex conditions.Existing research covers various fault-tolerant methods.However,current reviews often lack system-level critique and multidimensional analysis.This study provides a structured review of fault tolerance strategies across layered IoT architectures in smart cities.It evaluates fault detection,containment,and recovery techniques using specific metrics.These include fault visibility,propagation depth,containment score,and energy-resilience trade-offs.The analysis uses comparative tables,architecture-aware discussions,and conceptual plots.It investigates the impact of fault tolerance on decision-making in Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition(SCADA)systems,sensor networks,and real-time controllers.Simulation results and logic-based design support the relationships between evaluation metrics.Findings show a common reliance on redundancy and reactive methods.Many techniques fail to address cross-layer propagation,context-aware adaptation,and silent fault impact on user trust.The study combines these overlooked aspects into a system-level framework.This survey identifies performance bottlenecks and supports the design of adaptive,energy-efficient,and transparent IoT systems.The results contribute to bridging technical reliability with public trust,supporting scalable and responsible smart city development.

摘要In order to solve the problems of short network lifetime and high data transmission delay in data gathering for wireless sensor network(WSN)caused by uneven energy consumption among nodes,a hybrid energy efficient clustering routing base on firefly and pigeon-inspired algorithm(FF-PIA)is proposed to optimise the data transmission path.After having obtained the optimal number of cluster head node(CH),its result might be taken as the basis of producing the initial population of FF-PIA algorithm.The L′evy flight mechanism and adaptive inertia weighting are employed in the algorithm iteration to balance the contradiction between the global search and the local search.Moreover,a Gaussian perturbation strategy is applied to update the optimal solution,ensuring the algorithm can jump out of the local optimal solution.And,in the WSN data gathering,a onedimensional signal reconstruction algorithm model is developed by dilated convolution and residual neural networks(DCRNN).We conducted experiments on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA)dataset.It shows that the DCRNN modeldriven data reconstruction algorithm improves the reconstruction accuracy as well as the reconstruction time performance.FF-PIA and DCRNN clustering routing co-simulation reveals that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the performance in extending the network lifetime and reducing data transmission delay.

摘要Dear Editor,This letter deals with the distributed recursive set-membership filtering(DRSMF)issue for state-saturated systems under encryption-decryption mechanism.To guarantee the data security,the encryption-decryption mechanism is considered in the signal transmission process.Specifically,a novel DRSMF scheme is developed such that,for both state saturation and encryption-decryption mechanism,the filtering error(FE)is limited to the ellipsoid domain.Then,the filtering error constraint matrix(FECM)is computed and a desirable filter gain is derived by minimizing the FECM.Besides,the bound-edness evaluation of the FECM is provided.
