“…Wireless sensor network is the extension of the Internet from the virtual world to the physical world.The Internet changed the way of exchanges and communication between human beings, and the world of wireless sensor network, the information of logic and real physical fuses in together, change the way of interaction between man and nature.People can directly perceive significant world through wireless sensor network, thus greatly extend the functionality of the existing network and human cognitive ability of the world [1][2] . Microelectronic mechanical system refers to a collection of miniature sensors, actuators and signal processing and control circuit, interface circuit, communication and electricity comes from the integration of micro electromechanical system, the support of the micro sensor technology and enhance the capacity of the nodes of the wireless communication gives a broad application prospect for wireless sensor network, mainly in military, environmental, health, family and other business.Of course, in the special fields such as space exploration and disaster rescue, sensor network has its unique technical advantages.…”

With the development of science and technology, information collection, transmission, processing and wireless sensor network are inseparable. In the existing wireless sensor network clustering algorithm, the typical LEACH algorithm because of its uncertainty can lead to system life is short. This paper proposes a clustering algorithm based on load balancing, the algorithm fully considering the energy consumption of cluster head nodes, and the balance of the total energy of the network. Through simulation experiments, the algorithm system life is longer, the network energy consumption efficiency is higher.

The security is major challenging issue in wireless sensor network applications because they are operated in public and unrestrained areas which also makes difficult to protect against tampering or captured by an adversary force that can launch insider attacks to make a node compromised. One type of such attack is black hole attack. Existing AODV routing protocol does not have mechanism to defend against such attacks. In this study, we comprehensively investigates the performance of AODV protocol by simulating it on the various network parameters with various number of blackhole nodes. The metrics for evaluation has been considered as packet delivery ratio, end to end delay, normalized routing overhead and total number of packets drop. The simulation results show that blackhole attack severely degrades the performance of WSN.

“…The existing components on WSN's architecture include sensor nodes (motes or field devices that are sensing data), network manager, security manager, aggregation points, base stations (access point or gateway) and user/human interface. Besides, there are two approaches in WSN's communication models containing hierarchical WSN versus distributed [8] and homogeneous WSN versus heterogeneous [8]. Some of the common suppositions of these networks are:…”

“…A WSN is a heterogeneous system consisting of hundreds or thousands of low-cost and low-power tiny sensors to monitor and gather real-time information from deployment environment [8][9][10]. Common functionality of WSNs are broadcasting and multicasting, routing, forwarding and route maintenance.…”

“…WSNs are vulnerable to many types of attacks and due to unsafe and unprotected nature of communication channel [5][6][7], untrusted and broadcast transmission media, deployment in hostile environments [1,2], automated nature and limited resources, most of security techniques of traditional networks are impossible in WSNs; therefore, security is a vital and complex requirement for these networks. It is necessary to design an appropriate security mechanism for these networks [2,8], which attending to be WSN's constraints. This security mechanism should cover different security dimension of WSNs, include confidentiality, integrity, availability and authenticity.…”

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have many potential applications [1,2] and unique challenges. They usually consist of hundreds or thousands of small sensor nodes such as MICA2, which operate autonomously; conditions such as cost, invisible deployment and many application domains, lead to small size and resource limited sensors [3]. WSNs are susceptible to many types of link layer attacks [1] and most of traditional network security techniques are unusable on WSNs [3]; This is due to wireless and shared nature of communication channel, untrusted transmissions, deployment in open environments, unattended nature and limited resources [1]. Therefore security is a vital requirement for these networks; but we have to design a proper security mechanism that attends to WSN's constraints and requirements. In this paper, we focus on security of WSNs, divide it (the WSNs security) into four categories and will consider them, include: an overview of WSNs, security in WSNs, the threat model on WSNs, a wide variety of WSNs' link layer attacks and a comparison of them. This work enables us to identify the purpose and capabilities of the attackers; furthermore, the goal and effects of the link layer attacks on WSNs are introduced. Also, this paper discusses known approaches of security detection and defensive mechanisms against the link layer attacks; this would enable IT security managers to manage the link layer attacks of WSNs more effectively.
