Abstract-Wireless Sensor Network is monitored withContikiMAC Cooja flavor to diagnose the energy utilization ratio by nodes and the fault detection process in distributed approach; adopted the Low power Listening (LPL) mechanism with ContikiMAC to prolong the network's lifetime. LPL locate the root cause of communication issue, get rid of the interruption problems, and get back normal communication state. The LPL mechanism reduces the energy utilization in centralized and distribute approaches. Even more, the distributed approach is best suited for network monitoring when energy utilization is main objective in the presence of LPL. It is also important how soon the faulty node can be detected. In this case, latency has vital contributions in monitoring mechanism and latency is achieved by developing the efficient faulty node detection methodology.

The P300-based lie detection scheme is yet another and advantageous tactic for unadventurous Polygraphy. In the proposed scheme, the raw electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are assimilated from 15 subjects during deception detection. After the assimilation, EEG signals are separated using an independent component analysis (ICA). The proposed adaptive denoising approach, extracts three kinds of features from denoised wave to reproduce P300 waveform and identify the P300 components at the Pz electrode. Finally, in order to enhance the performance, four classifiers are used, i.e., support vector machine (SVM), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and back propagation neural network (BPNN), achieving the accuracy of 74.5%, 79.4%, 97.9% and 89%, respectively.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are one of the fundamental infrastructures for Internet of Things (IoTs) technology. Efficient energy consumption is one of the greatest challenges in WSNs because of its resource-constrained sensor nodes (SNs). Clustering techniques can significantly help resolve this issue and extend the network’s lifespan. In clustering, WSN is divided into various clusters, and a cluster head (CH) is selected in each cluster. The selection of appropriate CHs highly influences the clustering technique, and poor cluster structures lead toward the early death of WSNs. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient clustering and cluster head selection technique for next-generation wireless sensor networks (NG-WSNs). The proposed clustering approach is based on the midpoint technique, considering residual energy and distance among nodes. It distributes the sensors uniformly creating balanced clusters, and uses multihop communication for distant CHs to the base station (BS). We consider a four-layer hierarchical network composed of SNs, CHs, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and BS. The UAV brings the advantage of flexibility and mobility; it shortens the communication range of sensors, which leads to an extended lifetime. Finally, a simulated annealing algorithm is applied for the optimal trajectory of the UAV according to the ground sensor network. The experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms with respect to energy efficiency and network lifetime when compared with state-of-the-art techniques from recent literature.
