“…Although these works are on the basis of opportunistic routing, they mostly address the issues of QoS, load balance or energy efficiency. In terms of security, Salehi and Boukerche [23] address black hole attacks on opportunistic routing in the wireless mesh networks, where nodes deliberately drop the data packet that they are supposed to transmit. To defend against such attacks, they make use of Markov chain to establish a packet salvaging model for the opportunistic routing.…”

“…If someone reports the DoS attackers to the CA or any trusted legal authority, they will seek to repudiate data packets that have been created by them. In this work, we do not consider the location spoofing attacks and black hole attacks, which can be addressed by the existing security schemes [23], [25]. The issues of eavesdropping and data privacy are out of the scope of this paper.…”

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been widely used as the communication system in the Internet of Things (IoT). In addition to the services provided by WSNs, many IoT-based applications require reliable data delivery over unstable wireless links. To guarantee reliable data delivery, existing works exploit geographic opportunistic routing with multiple candidate forwarders in WSNs. However, these approaches suffer from serious Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, where a large number of invalid data are deliberately delivered to receivers to disrupt the normal operations of WSNs. In this paper, we propose a selective authentication-based geographic opportunistic routing (SelGOR) to defend against the DoS attacks, meeting the requirements of authenticity and reliability in WSNs. By analyzing statistic state information (SSI) of wireless links, SelGOR leverages an SSI-based trust model to improve the efficiency of data delivery. Unlike previous opportunistic routing protocols, SelGOR ensures data integrity by developing an entropy-based selective authentication algorithm, and is able to isolate DoS attackers and reduce the computational cost. Specifically, we design a distributed cooperative verification scheme to accelerate the isolation of attackers. This scheme also makes SelGOR avoid duplicate data transmission and redundant signature verification resulting from opportunistic routing. The extensive simulations show that SelGOR provides reliable and authentic data delivery, while it only consumes 50% of the computational cost compared to other related solutions.

“…The paper combines the two to fully utilise the broadcast characteristics of wireless transmission, but does not consider energy efficiency issues. Literature [12] proposes a packet recovery model that allows opportunistic routing protocols to defend against malicious nodes by preserving a certain percentage of discarded or manipulated packets. The proposed method designed using discrete time Markov Chain (DTMC) and is applicable to wireless mesh networks, but energy factors are not considered.…”

“…Because data will be retransmitted only if multiple candidate nodes do not receive it and the probability that multiple candidate nodes do not receive data is low, the probability of retransmission is minimal. In other words, it can effectively reduce delay [ 59 ].…”

For Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSNs), sending data with timely style to the stink (or control center, CC) that is monitored by sensor nodes is a challenging issue. However, in order to save energy, wireless sensor networks based on a duty cycle are widely used in the industrial field, which can bring great delay to data transmission. We observe that if the duty cycle of a small number of nodes in the network is set to 1, the sleep delay caused by the duty cycle can be effectively reduced. Thus, in this paper, a novel Portion of Nodes with Larger Duty Cycle (PNLDC) scheme is proposed to reduce delay and optimize energy efficiency for IWSNs. In the PNLDC scheme, a portion of nodes are selected to set their duty cycle to 1, and the proportion of nodes with the duty cycle of 1 is determined according to the energy abundance of the area in which the node is located. The more the residual energy in the region, the greater the proportion of the selected nodes. Because there are a certain proportion of nodes with the duty cycle of 1 in the network, the PNLDC scheme can effectively reduce delay in IWSNs. The performance analysis and experimental results show that the proposed scheme significantly reduces the delay for forwarding data by 8.9~26.4% and delay for detection by 2.1~24.6% without reducing the network lifetime when compared with the fixed duty cycle method. Meanwhile, compared with the dynamic duty cycle strategy, the proposed scheme has certain advantages in terms of energy utilization and delay reduction.
