Wireless Sensor Networks: Perceiving the World

Humans are now in the information age, and sensor technology, as the most important and fundamental technology for information acquisition, has also seen significant development.

The development of sensor networks can be divided into three stages: sensors → wireless sensors → wireless sensor networks.

The first stage can be traced back to the traditional sensor systems used during the Vietnam War, which were actually systems composed of vibration and sound sensors.

The second stage, from the 1980s to the 1990s, primarily includes distributed sensor network systems developed by the U.S. military, naval collaborative combat capability systems, and remote battlefield sensor systems. These modern miniaturized sensors possess perception, computational, and communication capabilities.

The third stage, which started in the 21st century and continues to this day, is characterized by self-organizing network transmission and low-power node design, used in more scenarios beyond the military field.

Wireless Sensor Networks: Perceiving the World

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are a multi-hop self-organizing network system composed of a large number of micro sensor nodes deployed in a monitored area, formed through wireless communication, with the purpose of collaboratively perceiving, collecting, and processing information about the sensed objects in the network coverage area and sending it to observers. Sensor, sensed objects, and observers constitute the three elements of a sensor network.

WSN is a distributed sensor network, where the endpoints are sensors that can perceive and inspect the external world. Sensors in WSN communicate wirelessly, making the network setup flexible, allowing device locations to be changed at any time, and also enabling wired or wireless connections to the internet.

Today, with the rapid development of the Internet of Things, wireless sensor network technology is an important underlying network technology for the widespread application of the Internet of Things, serving as the nerve endings of mobile communication networks and wired access networks, further extending network coverage.

Recently, the journal “Application of Electronic Technique” has published a series of articles related to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), including some excellent network design applications and positioning algorithms, which I have compiled here. Everyone is welcome to promote and cite!

1. An Improved Localization Algorithm Based on RSSI in WSN

Abstract: In the node localization algorithm for mobile wireless sensor networks, the RSSI-based MCL localization algorithm improves the prediction and filtering processes of localization using the log-normal model of received signal strength, enhancing localization performance, but still has drawbacks such as large computational load and high power consumption. Since the motion state of the object does not change abruptly, the trajectory of the previous moments can be used to predict the current motion parameters. Using Hermite interpolation, a good prediction of the current motion trajectory is made. Simulation results show that this algorithm reduces the sampling range and improves sampling accuracy compared to traditional algorithms, thereby enhancing localization accuracy and reducing power consumption.

2. Intelligent Localization Algorithm in WSN Based on Multi-Power Mobile Anchor Nodes

Abstract: To reduce localization costs and improve localization accuracy, a SAPSO-SMPMA algorithm is proposed, which uses a single mobile anchor node to calculate the coordinates of unknown nodes. This algorithm employs a single mobile anchor node to traverse the localization area and transmits beacon signals with different power levels through power control. Unknown nodes utilize the information from anchor nodes at different positions combined with an adaptive weighted particle swarm algorithm to calculate their coordinates. Considering that anchor nodes may have errors in practical applications, vector error analysis of anchor nodes is included. Simulations show that this algorithm maintains high localization accuracy while significantly reducing localization costs by adequately considering the errors of anchor nodes, making it a practical localization algorithm.

3. Fault Detection in WSN Based on Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Naive Bayes

Abstract: Faulty nodes in WSN lead to data transmission delays and increased energy consumption, and can also cause network congestion. To address this, a WSN fault node diagnosis and localization algorithm based on maximum likelihood estimation and Naive Bayes analysis is proposed. First, a large number of features are extracted from the protocol part of the data packets as a training dataset, from which marginal probabilities are estimated and a Naive Bayes classifier is built. Conditional probabilities are estimated using maximum likelihood estimation. In the detection phase, suspicious nodes are determined by checking if the transmission delay meets threshold conditions, and then the Naive Bayes classifier is used to detect faulty nodes, ultimately achieving successful classification of nodes.
