Research on Multiple Access Algorithms for Wireless Network

Nodes in the communication network mainly depend on the Media Access Control(MAC)layer protocol design.To ensure the MAC protocol achieves high throughput,low latency,and high service quality,this paper designed a“centralized-distribution”system MAC protocol combined with a slot allocation algorithm.This allows it to quickly adapt to the topology changes in the network and the overall network frame structure.For the centralized time slot allocation,since the system’s frame structure changes across the entire network,the root node must gather information from other nodes.This ensures that the root node can collect the latest topology information when the network topology changes and subsequently adjust the frame structure of the whole network for the distributed time slot allocation.The simulation results show that the adaptive time-division multiple access mechanism can quickly adapt to changes in topology and the network’s frame structure.It enables adaptive changes in node transmission times,ensures the rapid transmission and circulation of large-capacity data between nodes,and improves transmission efficiency.

With recent advancements made in wireless communication techniques,wireless sensors have become an essential component in both data collection as well as tracking applications.Wireless Sensor Network(WSN)is an integral part of Internet of Things(IoT)and it encounters different kinds of security issues.Blockchain is designed as a game changer for highly secure and effective digital society.So,the current research paper focuses on the design of Metaheuristic-based Clustering with Routing Protocol for Blockchain-enabled WSN abbreviated as MCRP-BWSN.The proposed MCRP-BWSN technique aims at deriving a shared memory scheme using blockchain technology and determine the optimal paths to reach the destination in clustered WSN.In MCRP-BWSN technique,Chimp Optimization Algorithm(COA)-based clustering technique is designed to elect a proper set of Cluster Heads(CHs)and organize the selected clusters.In addition,Horse Optimization Algorithm(HOA)-based routing technique is also presented to optimally select the routes based onfitness function.Besides,HOA-based routing technique utilizes blockchain technology to avail the shared mem-ory among nodes in the network.Sensor nodes are treated as coins whereas the ownership handles the sensor nodes and Base Station(BS).In order to validate the enhanced performance of the proposed MCRP-BWSN technique,a wide range of simulations was conducted and the results were examined under different measures.Based on the performance exhibited in simulation outcomes,the pro-posed MCRP-BWSN technique has been established as a promising candidate over other existing techniques.

Optimal Resource Allocation for NOMA Wireless Networks

The non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)method is a novel multiple access technique that aims to increase spectral efficiency(SE)and accommodate enormous user accesses.Multi-user signals are superimposed and transmitted in the power domain at the transmitting end by actively implementing controllable interference information,and multi-user detection algorithms,such as successive interference cancellation(SIC),are performed at the receiving end to demodulate the necessary user signals.Although its basic signal waveform,like LTE baseline,could be based on orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA)or discrete Fourier transform(DFT)-spread OFDM,NOMA superimposes numerous users in the power domain.In contrast to the orthogonal transmission method,the nonorthogonal method can achieve higher spectrum utilization.However,it will increase the complexity of its receiver.Different power allocation techniques will have a direct impact on the system’s throughput.As a result,in order to boost the system capacity,an efficient power allocation mechanism must be investigated.This research developed an efficient technique based on conjugate gradient to solve the problem of downlink power distribution.The major goal is to maximize the users’maximum weighted sum rate.The suggested algorithm’s most notable feature is that it converges to the global optimal solution.When compared to existing methods,simulation results reveal that the suggested technique has a better power allocation capability.

Metaheuristics Based Node Localization Approach for Real-Time Clustered Wireless Networks

In recent times,real time wireless networks have found their applicability in several practical applications such as smart city,healthcare,surveillance,environmental monitoring,etc.At the same time,proper localization of nodes in real time wireless networks helps to improve the overall functioning of networks.This study presents an Improved Metaheuristics based Energy Efficient Clustering with Node Localization(IM-EECNL)approach for real-time wireless networks.The proposed IM-EECNL technique involves two major processes namely node localization and clustering.Firstly,Chaotic Water Strider Algorithm based Node Localization(CWSANL)technique to determine the unknown position of the nodes.Secondly,an Oppositional Archimedes Optimization Algorithm based Clustering(OAOAC)technique is applied to accomplish energy efficiency in the network.Besides,the OAOAC technique derives afitness function comprising residual energy,distance to cluster heads(CHs),distance to base station(BS),and load.The performance validation of the IM-EECNL technique is carried out under several aspects such as localization and energy efficiency.A wide ranging comparative outcomes analysis highlighted the improved performance of the IM-EECNL approach on the recent approaches with the maximum packet delivery ratio(PDR)of 0.985.

Wireless Network Security Using Load Balanced Mobile Sink Technique

Real-time applications based on Wireless Sensor Network(WSN)tech-nologies are quickly increasing due to intelligent surroundings.Among the most significant resources in the WSN are battery power and security.Clustering stra-tegies improve the power factor and secure the WSN environment.It takes more electricity to forward data in a WSN.Though numerous clustering methods have been developed to provide energy consumption,there is indeed a risk of unequal load balancing,resulting in a decrease in the network’s lifetime due to network inequalities and less security.These possibilities arise due to the cluster head’s limited life span.These cluster heads(CH)are in charge of all activities and con-trol intra-cluster and inter-cluster interactions.The proposed method uses Lifetime centric load balancing mechanisms(LCLBM)and Cluster-based energy optimiza-tion using a mobile sink algorithm(CEOMS).LCLBM emphasizes the selection of CH,system architectures,and optimal distribution of CH.In addition,the LCLBM was added with an assistant cluster head(ACH)for load balancing.Power consumption,communications latency,the frequency of failing nodes,high security,and one-way delay are essential variables to consider while evaluating LCLBM.CEOMS will choose a cluster leader based on the influence of the fol-lowing parameters on the energy balance of WSNs.According to simulatedfind-ings,the suggested LCLBM-CEOMS method increases cluster head selection self-adaptability,improves the network’s lifetime,decreases data latency,and bal-ances network capacity.

Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol with Multi-Hop Fuzzy Logic for Wireless Networks

A Wireless Sensor Network(WSN)becomes a newer type of real-time embedded device that can be utilized for a wide range of applications that make regular networking which appears impracticable.Concerning the energy produc-tion of the nodes,WSN has major issues that may influence the stability of the system.As a result,constructing WSN requires devising protocols and standards that make the most use of constrained capacity,especially the energy resources.WSN faces some issues with increased power utilization and an on going devel-opment due to the uneven energy usage between the nodes.Clustering has proven to be a more effective strategy in this series.In the proposed work,a hybrid meth-od is used for reducing the energy consumption among CHs.A Fuzzy Logic-based clustering protocol FLUC(unequally clustered)and Fuzzy Clustering with Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol(FCERP)are used.A Fuzzy Clustering with Energy Efficient Routing Protocol(FCERP)reduces the WSN power usage and increases the lifespan of the network.FCERP has created a novel cluster-based fuzzy routing mechanism that uses a limit value to combine the clustering and multi-hop routing capabilities.The technique creates uneven groups by using fuz-zy logic with a competitive range to choose the Cluster Head(CH).The input variables include the distance of the nodes from the ground station,concentra-tions,and remaining energy.The proposed FLUC-FCERP reduces the power usage and improves the lifetime of the network compared with the existing algorithms.

A maximum-independent-set-based channel allocation algorithm for multi-channel wireless networks

A channel allocation algorithm based on the maximum independent set is proposed to decrease network conflict and improve network performance. First, a channel allocation model is formulated and a series of the maximum independent sets （MISs） are obtained from a contention graph by the proposed approximation algorithm with low complexity. Then, a weighted contention graph is obtained using the number of contention vertices between two MISs as a weighted value. Links are allocated to channels by the weighted contention graph to minimize conflicts between independent sets. Finally, after channel allocation, each node allocates network interface cards （NICs） to links that are allocated channels according to the queue lengths of NICs. Simulations are conducted to evaluate the proposed algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm significantly improves the network throughput and decreases the end to end delay.

MULTIPLE ATTRIBUTE NETWORK SELECTION ALGORITHM BASED ON AHP AND SYNERGETIC THEORY FOR HETEROGENEOUS WIRELESS NETWORKS

It is a hot issue in communication research field to select the best network for Heterogeneous Wireless Networks(HWNs),and it is also a difficult problem to reduce the handoff number of vertical handoff.In order to solve this problem,the paper proposes a multiple attribute network selection algorithm based on Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)and synergetic theory.The algorithm applies synergetics to network selection,considering the candidate network as a compound system composed of multiple attribute subsystems,and combines the subsystem order degree with AHP weight to obtain entropy of the compound system,which is opposite the synergy degree of a network system.The greater the synergy degree,the better the network performance.The algorithm takes not only the coordination of objective attributes but also Quality of Service(QoS)requirements into consideration,ensuring that users select the network with overall good performance.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the handoff number and provide uses with satisfactory QoS according to different services.

A RISK ASSESSMENT METHOD OF THE WIRELESS NETWORK SECURITY

The core of network security is the risk assessment. In this letter,a risk assessment method is introduced to estimate the wireless network security. The method,which combines Analytic Hier-archy Process (AHP) method and fuzzy logical method,is applied to the risk assessment. Fuzzy logical method is applied to judge the important degree of each factor in the aspects of the probability,the influence and the uncontrollability,not to directly judge the important degree itself. The risk as-sessment is carved up 3 layers applying AHP method,the sort weight of the third layer is calculated by fuzzy logical method. Finally,the important degree is calculated by AHP method. By comparing the important degree of each factor,the risk which can be controlled by taking measures is known. The study of the case shows that the method can be easily used to the risk assessment of the wireless network security and its results conform to the actual situation.

Feedback Stabilization over Wireless Network Using Adaptive Coded Modulation

In this paper,we apply adaptive coded modulation (ACM) schemes to a wireless networked control system (WNCS) to improve the energy efficiency and increase the data rate over a fading channel.To capture the characteristics of varying rate, interference,and routing in wireless transmission channels,the concepts of equivalent delay (ED) and networked condition index (NCI) are introduced.Also,the analytic lower and upper bounds of EDs are obtained.Furthermore,we model the WNCS as a multicontroller switched system (MSS) under consideration of EDs and loss index in the wireless transmission.Sufficient stability condition of the closed-loop WNCS and corresponding dynamic state feedback controllers are derived in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI). Numerical results show the validity and advantage of our proposed control strategies.

An Efficient ECDSA-Based Signature Scheme for Wireless Networks

Wired equivalent security is difficult to provide in wireless networks due to high dynamics, wireless link vulnerability, and decentralization. The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm（ECDSA） has been applied to wireless networks because of its low computational cost and short key size, which reduces the overheads in a wireless environment. This study improves the ECDSA scheme by reducing its time complexity. The significant advantage of the algorithm is that our new scheme needs not to calculate modular inverse operation in the phases of signature generation and signature verification. Such an improvement makes the proposed scheme more efficient and secure.

Network Coding-based Reliable Broadcast Transmission in Wireless Networks

Recently, network coding has been applied to the loss recovery of reliable broadcast transmission in wireless networks. Since it was proved that fi nding the optimal set of lost packets for XOR-ing is a complex NP-complete problem, the available time-based retransmission scheme and its enhanced retransmission scheme have exponential computational complexity and thus are not scalable to large networks. In this paper, we present an efficient heuristic scheme based on hypergraph coloring and also its enhanced heuristic scheme to improve the transmission efficiency. Basically, our proposed schemes fi rst create a hypergraph according to the packet-loss matrix. Then our schemes solve the problem of generating XORed packets by coloring the edges of hypergraph. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that, the heuristic scheme based on hypergraph coloring and its enhanced scheme can achieve almost the same transmission efficiency as the available ones, but have much lower computational complexity, which is very important for the wireless devices without high computation capacity.

Traffic Characteristics Based Dynamic Radio Resource Management in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

The traffic with tidal phenomenon in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks(HWNs)has radically increased the complexity of radio resource management and its performance analysis.In this paper,a Simplified Dynamic Hierarchy Resource Management(SDHRM)algorithm exploiting the resources dynamically and intelligently is proposed with the consideration of tidal traffic.In network-level resource allocation,the proposed algorithm first adopts wavelet neural network to forecast the traffic of each sub-area and then allocates the resources to those sub-areas to maximise the network utility.In connection-level network selection,based on the above resource allocation and the pre-defined QoS requirement,three typical network selection policies are provided to assign traffic flow to the most appropriate network.Furthermore,based on multidimensional Markov model,we analyse the performance of SDHRM in HWNs with heavy tailed traffic.Numerical results show that our theoretical values coincide with the simulation results and the SDHRM can improve the resource utilization.

The variable controller can be obtained easily by solving the linear matrix inequality （LMI） with the use of the Matlab toolbox. Both the known and unknown dropout probabilities are considered. Finally, a simulation is given to show the feasibility of the proposed method.

Cooperative communication can achieve spatial diversity gains,and consequently combats signal fading due to multipath propagation in wireless networks powerfully.A novel complex field network-coded cooperation（CFNCC） scheme based on multi-user detection for the multiple unicast transmission is proposed.Theoretic analysis and simulation results demonstrate that,compared with the conventional cooperation（CC） scheme and network-coded cooperation（NCC） scheme,CFNCC would obtain higher network throughput and consumes less time slots.Moreover,a further investigation is made for the symbol error probability（SEP） performance of CFNCC scheme,and SEPs of CFNCC scheme are compared with those of NCC scheme in various scenarios for different signal to noise ratio（SNR） values.

Collaborative Multiple Access And Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation in Distributed Maritime Wireless Networks

With the rapid increasing of maritime activities, maritime wireless networks(MWNs) with high reliability, high energy efficiency, and low delay are required. However, the centralized networking with fixed resource scheduling is not suitable for MWNs due to the special environment. In this paper,we introduce the collaborative relay communication in distributed MWNs to improve the link reliability, and propose an orthogonal time-frequency resource block reservation based multiple access(RRMA) scheme for both one-hop direct link and two-hop collaborative relay link to reduce the interference. To further improve the network performance, we formulate an energy efficiency(EE) maximization resource allocation problem and solve it by an iterative algorithm based on the Dinkelbach method. Finally, numerical results are provided to investigate the proposed RRMA scheme and resource allocation algorithm, showing that the low outage probability and transmission delay can be attained by the proposed RRMA scheme. Moreover,the proposed resource allocation algorithm is capable of achieving high EE in distributed MWNs.
