Problem of the dynamic topology architecture of rechargeable wireless sensor networks by Xu DING, Jiang-hong HAN, Lei SHI, Wei XIA, Zhen-chun WEI

“…The time-varying dynamic topology model for rechargeable wireless sensor networks is proposed in accordance with the scenario that the wireless charging equipment plays the role of a data collector while charging sensor nodes at the meantime.An optimization problem aiming to maximize the vacation time ratio of the wireless charging equipment is then raised from the study of the model established.Through comprehensively analyzing of the working states and constraints of different sensor nodes as well as the wireless charging equipment during different time instances,the multi-phase linear programming problem with the identical optimality is then obtained.The optimal dynamic data routing schemes of different phases compatible with the dynamic topology architecture are acquired from solving this optimization problem.What is more,the working strategies of the wireless charging/data collecting equipment are also obtained,simultaneously.Compared with the results of the previous work,the objective values are increased by no less than 20%.…”

Research on selective trust-path search and aggregation in distributed environment by Yan-lin QIN, Xiao-ping WU, Jian-xin GAO

“…Current trust models based on reputation had some disadvantages in characterizing recommendation credibility and dealing with Trust-Path Search and aggregation.To solve these problems,an updating algorithm for recommendation credibility was proposed considering factors of time decay,recommendation inosculation and success transaction rate.Furthermore,a selective search-algorithm for trust-path in distributed environment was presented.The algorithm uses recommendation credibility,evaluation similarity and trust-path length as its control parameters and can evade malicious nodes directly in the process of searching.It can also stop the search for unnecessary trust-paths and execute the search for paths containing valuable recommendation.Lastly,trust aggregation method was given by using an advanced combining algorithm in D-S theory of evidence.Simulation results show that compared with existing trust models,the proposed model is more robust on defending attacks of various malicious nodes.…”
