Multi-group target tracking method based on adaptive predictive clustering in WSN by Shumu LIU, Jian YANG, Yuansong LI

“…Aiming at the imbalance between energy using and tracking accuracy in multi-sensor target tracking,a method of trade-off network lifetime and accuracy was proposed.It was a multi-group target tracking method based on adaptive predictive clustering (APCMT),realizing the simultaneous tracking of multiple groups.Firstly,cluster was realized,which was to capture the changes of group behavior attributes,such as forming,mergering and spliting.Then,sensors were selected,which were expected to contribute to the group area sensor activation,and the sensors were used for group tracking.Scene simulation was in a square area of 1 000 m ×1 000 m with 500 randomly deployed sensors.The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by the simulation results.Compared with Kalman,energy-effective node selection (EENS) method and the improved dynamic cluster (IDC) method,the tracking precision of proposed method was higher.And because of the number of activate sensors was less,the computational time was less,the network lifetime had been improved significantly.…”

EBS-based efficient and secure group key management in wireless sensor networks by WANG Wei1, ZHAO Wen-hong2, LI Feng-hua3.4, MA Jian-feng3

“…To achieve the secure group communication in wireless sensor networks（WSN）, a EBS-based group key management scheme was presented.First, the network topology was simplified by combining the chain-clusters and the star-clusters.Next, to prevent the adversary uncover all the administrative keys by a few colluding sensors, the number of sensors needed to capture WSN was increased.Then, the sensors of key combinations distribution were sorted through a coloring algorithm.Based on all these operations, the presented scheme distributed the administrative keys based on the hamming distance and EBS.Furthermore, the approaches handling the join event and leave event were described.Two experiments were performed to study the potential for collusions and the influence of size of compromised nodes on the effectiveness against collusions.Simulation results demonstrate that the presented scheme boosts the WSN’ resilience to attacks.The performance evaluation on join event and leave event shows that the number of key-updating messages and storage of sensors in the proposed scheme are fewer than those of SHELL.…”
