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
