This paper introduces the design, implementation, and performance analysis of the scalable and mobility-aware hybrid protocol named boarder node medium access control (BN-MAC) for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which leverages the characteristics of scheduled and contention-based MAC protocols. Like contention-based MAC protocols, BN-MAC achieves high channel utilization, network adaptability under heavy traffic and mobility, and low latency and overhead. Like schedule-based MAC protocols, BN-MAC reduces idle listening time, emissions, and collision handling at low cost at one-hop neighbor nodes and achieves high channel utilization under heavy network loads. BN-MAC is particularly designed for region-wise WSNs. Each region is controlled by a boarder node (BN), which is of paramount importance. The BN coordinates with the remaining nodes within and beyond the region. Unlike other hybrid MAC protocols, BN-MAC incorporates three promising models that further reduce the energy consumption, idle listening time, overhearing, and congestion to improve the throughput and reduce the latency. One of the models used with BN-MAC is automatic active and sleep (AAS), which reduces the ideal listening time. When nodes finish their monitoring process, AAS lets them automatically go into the sleep state to avoid the idle listening state. Another model used in BN-MAC is the intelligent decision-making (IDM) model, which helps the nodes sense the nature of the environment. Based on the nature of the environment, the nodes decide whether to use the active or passive mode. This decision power of the nodes further reduces energy consumption because the nodes turn off the radio of the transceiver in the passive mode. The third model is the least-distance smart neighboring search (LDSNS), which determines the shortest efficient path to the one-hop neighbor and also provides cross-layering support to handle the mobility of the nodes. The BN-MAC also incorporates a semi-synchronous feature with a low duty cycle, which is advantageous for reducing the latency and energy consumption for several WSN application areas to improve the throughput. BN-MAC uses a unique window slot size to enhance the contention resolution issue for improved throughput. BN-MAC also prefers to communicate within a one-hop destination using Anycast, which maintains load balancing to maintain network reliability. BN-MAC is introduced with the goal of supporting four major application areas: monitoring and behavioral areas, controlling natural disasters, human-centric applications, and tracking mobility and static home automation devices from remote places. These application areas require a congestion-free mobility-supported MAC protocol to guarantee reliable data delivery. BN-MAC was evaluated using network simulator-2 (ns2) and compared with other hybrid MAC protocols, such as Zebra medium access control (Z-MAC), advertisement-based MAC (A-MAC), Speck-MAC, adaptive duty cycle SMAC (ADC-SMAC), and low-power real-time medium access control (LPR-MAC). The simulation...

“…In the traditional WSN, because of limited computing capacity and little interaction between nodes, the collected data which is transmitted to the control center is aways in its relatively original status. The control center needs to make a comprehensive analysis on all the original data, so it always takes an obvious time delay before the device obtains the decision of what to do next [6]. As for CPS, each connected CPS Unit has a relatively strong computing and communication capacity, which allows it to share some tasks with the control center.…”

In recent years, the security of cyberphysical system (CPS) has been focused on increasingly. The most common example of CPS is industrial control system (ICS), which is prevalent in almost every critical infrastructure, such as electricity, oil and gas, water, chemical processing, and healthcare. So ICS security has become a top priority in the security field. Based on a general description of the wireless sensor network (WSN), which is an important element of CPS, this paper first gives a comprehensive and deep understanding of CPS. Secondly, it provides a comprehensive description of the current situation of ICS security in the U.S. and the corresponding approaches the U.S. government and some industries have taken, including management, technology, standards and regulations, and researches of national laboratories. Thirdly, the paper shows the research on ICS in Europe, focusing on the most important report issued by ENISA. Then, compared with developed countries, it presents the grim situation of ICS security and describes the efforts of ICS security management in China.
