Special Issue on
Algorithm and Theory for Robust Wireless Sensor Networks
http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdsn/osi/
Wireless sensor networks raise a number of interesting and undiscovered
algorithmic issues, but traditional techniques are not sufficient to solve
these problems in the right way. This is specifically due to constrained
energy and computation capability, nondeterministic sensor failures, channel
impairments, node mobility, hostile and distrusted environments, and even
external attackers. In all these respects, wireless sensor networks exhibit
substantial vulnerability when compared to other networks. It is challenging
to design a robust wireless sensor network by devising novel algorithms or
developing new theories whilst introducing minimal communication overhead
and energy consumption. For example, sensor nodes are often deployed in
outdoor or hazardous environments. Power outage of sensors can lead to node
failure and cause many serious problems. Recently, an aggressive approach
has been developed that wirelessly re-charges the sensor nodes to increase
the robustness of the sensor networks. The charging tasks can be performed
by single or multiple mobile machines. However, the algorithmic and
theoretical issues in the wireless charging problem for WSNs were not fully
explored.
The main focus of this special issue is devoted to deeper understanding of
the algorithms and theories which are developed to build up a robust
wireless sensor network. Moreover, it is to push the theoretical and
practical research forward for a deeper understanding in the fundamental
algorithm, modeling, and analysis techniques of robust wireless sensor
networks. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
• Algorithms and theories for wireless sensor networks related to robustness
issues
• Performance analysis of reliable protocols for wireless sensor networks
• Robust routing algorithms in wireless sensor networks
• Robust topology control techniques in wireless sensor networks
• Robust coverage algorithms in wireless sensor networks
• Robust MAC protocols in wireless sensor networks
• Robust position estimation in wireless sensor networks
• Duplicate data and resource optimization in mobile wireless networks
• Wireless recharging strategies in mobile wireless sensor networks
• Fault-tolerant clustering and cooperative strategies in wireless sensor
networks
• Robust boundary detection algorithms in wireless sensor networks
