“…Wireless sensor network (WSN) has emerged as a promising research area for an ever-increasing need for various applications, such as habit or environmental monitoring, wildlife tracking, disaster managing, patient healthcare, humanitarian logistics and industrial data acquisition, and so on [1][2][3][4]. A typical WSN is comprised of a large number of distributed sensor nodes with an information collector, referred to as the sink node.…”

Power efficiency is a crucially important issue in the IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee sensor networks (ZSNs) for majority of sensor nodes equipped with non-rechargeable batteries. To increase the lifetime of sensor networks, each node must optimize power consumption as possible. Among open literatures, much research works have focused on how to optimally increase the probability of sleeping states using multifarious wake-up strategies. Making things different, in this article, we propose a novel optimization framework for alleviating power consumption of sensor node with the D-policy M/G/1 queuing approach. Toward green sensor field, the proposed power-saving technique can be applied to prolong the lifetime of ZSN economically and effectively. For the proposed data aggregation model, mathematical framework on performance measures has been formulated. Data simulation using MATLAB tool has been conducted for exploring the feasibility of the proposed approach. And also we analyze the average traffic load per node for tree-based ZSN. Focusing on ZigBee routers deployed at the innermost shell of ZSN, network simulation results validate that the proposed approach indeed provides a feasibly cost-effective approach for prolonging lifetime of ZSNs.

“…By using a wireless and mobile communication channel, which can also be served as an access method to the Internet, the mobile user ( MU ) can access the services provided by their home agent ( HA ) when they visit a foreign agent ( FA ) at anytime and anywhere. But, in almost all the communication and information systems such as the traditional Internet networks, group‐oriented communication systems , wireless sensor networks , radio‐frequency ID systems , ad‐hoc networks , and so on, security protection such as user authentication is an important issue, and the wireless and mobile communication networks are no exception. When an MU roams to and would like access to an FA , the FA must authenticate the validity of the MU through its HA .…”

User authentication and privacy protection are important issues for wireless and mobile communication systems such as GSM, 3G, and 4G wireless networks. Recently, Yoon et al. proposed a user‐friendly authentication scheme with anonymity for wireless communications. However, in this paper, we show that user anonymity of their scheme is not achieved under the eavesdropping attack and their scheme is not fair in the key agreement. In order to ensure security authentication and protect user anonymity for wireless communications, we propose a novel user authentication scheme with anonymity based on elliptic curve cryptosystem, which can resist various known types of attacks and is more practical for wireless and mobile communications.

“…Therefore, DDoS is often considered as one of the worst possible attacks in the current Internet [34]. DoS might be a great threat in the ubiquitous medical sensor networks [14] by changing the patient's data. Delot et al [11] proposed a data management solution for event exchange in vehicular networks to avoid dangerous/undesirable situations where DoS might be a great threat.…”

Similar to wired communication, Mobile IP communication is susceptible to various kinds of attacks. Of these attacks, Denial of Service (DoS) attack is considered as a great threat to mobile IP communication. The number of approaches hitherto proposed to prevent DoS attack in the area of mobile IP communication is much less compared to those for the wired domain and mobile ad hoc networks. In this work, the effects of Denial of Service attack on mobile IP communication are analyzed in detail. We propose to use packet filtering techniques that work in different domains and base stations of mobile IP communication to detect suspicious packets and to improve the performance. If any packet contains a spoofed IP address which is created by DoS attackers, the proposed scheme can detect this and then filter the suspected packet. The proposed system can mitigate the effect of Denial of Service (DoS) attack by applying three methods: (i) by filtering in the domain periphery router (ii) by filtering in the base station and (iii) by queue monitoring at the vulnerable points of base-station node. We evaluate the performance of our proposed scheme using the network simulator NS-2. The results indicate that the proposed scheme is able to minimize the effects of Denial of Service attacks and improve the performance of mobile IP communication.
