Wireless Sensor Networks Simulation Model to Compute Verification Time in Terms of Groups for Massive Crowd

Abstract

Everyone needs fast response or output against its request or need. Therefore, technologies are used to make the processing fast and accurate according to our needs. But in some situations, still we need to do more. Especially, when we need to process a massive or huge crowd of people in limited time frame such as at airport, religious gatherings, at stations etc. As the verification time increases crowd also increases and causing problems such as missing of the next flight, causality in religious gathering. Also, percentage of usefulness of verification system decreases and vice versa. Currently, different approaches are being employed to reduce verification time such as decentralized, distributed, queuing etc. But each of the approach has its merits and demerits. In order to minimize this problem, one of the solutions is to perform group (cluster) based verification. The reason behind is that as religious or tourist visits are done in groups, therefore, we can easily perform the group verification to make the verification fast in context of time. Further, we can set the limit where we need the group verification and where we can go through the normal verification (one by one). In this paper, we presented a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) simulation model to calculate verification time in the groups form for massive crowd. We discussed the different scenarios for a group such as all group (cluster) members (CMs) are same and within the range or out of the range of cluster head (CH), CMs and non-CMs are within the range or out of range of the CH. We considered the pilgrimage as use case to compare the verification time taken by existing system and proposed system in context of time. We also compared the verification time with respect to verified and unverified CMs (CMs) in a group verification model. By optimizing the number of CM members in a group will decrease the number of unverified CMs (the drop rate), hence the performance of the group verification will be increased by minimizing the group verification time.
