Effective data routing is one of the crucial themes for energy-efficient communication in wireless sensor networks (WSN). In the WSN research domain, fuzzy approaches are in most cases superior to well-defined methodologies, especially where boundaries between clusters are unclear. For this reason, a significant number of studies have recently proposed fuzzy-based solutions for the problems encountered in WSNs. Rule-based fuzzy systems are part of these widespread fuzzy-based solutions that often involve some field experts for identification and derivation of fuzzy rules as well as fuzzy membership functions; thus, a considerable amount of time is devoted to the realization of the final system. Nevertheless, it is almost impossible or not feasible to realize a fuzzy system with an optimality property. In this study, we utilize the modified clonal selection algorithm (CLONALG-M) to improve the performance of rule-based fuzzy routing algorithms. Although previous studies have been devoted to fuzzy optimization in general, to the best of our knowledge, improving the efficiency of rule-based fuzzy routing algorithms has not yet been considered. For this reason, CLONALG-M is applied to determine the approximate form of the output membership functions that improve the overall performance of fuzzy routing algorithms, whose rule base and shapes of membership functions are initially known. Experimental analysis and evaluations of the approach used in this study are performed on selected fuzzy rule-based routing algorithms and the obtained results verify that our approach performs and scales well to improve fuzzy routing performance.

Many wireless sensor network (WSN) applications require efficient multimedia communication capabilities. However, the existing communication protocols in the literature mainly aim to achieve energy efficiency and reliability objectives and do not address the multimedia communication challenges in WSN. In this thesis, comprehensive performance evaluation of the existing transport protocols is performed and it has been shown that the existing proposals achieve very poor performance in terms of large set of me...
Exploiting energy-aware spatial correlation in wireless sensor networks
Shah, Ghalib A.; Bozyigit, Muslim (2007-01-12)
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) promise fine-grain monitoring in a wide variety of applications, which require dense sensor nodes deployment. Due to high density of nodes, spatially redundant or correlated data is generated. Redundancy increases the reliability level of information delivery but increases the energy consumption of the nodes too. Since energy conservation is a key issue for WSNs, therefore, spatial correlation can be exploited to deactivate some of the nodes generating redundant information. ...
An Efficient Fuzzy Path Selection Approach to Mitigate Selective Forwarding Attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) facilitate efficient data gathering requirements occurring in indoor and outdoor environments. A great deal of WSNs operates by sensing the area-of-interest (AOI) and transmitting the obtained data to a sink/(s). The transmitted data is then utilized in decision making processes. In this regard, security of raw and relayed data is both crucial and susceptible to malicious attempts targeting the task of the network which occurs on the wireless transmission medium. A node, when...
MOFCA: Multi-objective fuzzy clustering algorithm for wireless sensor networks
SERT, SEYYİT ALPER; Bagci, Hakan; Yazıcı, Adnan (2015-05-01)
This study introduces a new clustering approach which is not only energy-efficient but also distribution-independent for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Clustering is used as a means of efficient data gathering technique in terms of energy consumption. In clustered networks, each node transmits acquired data to a cluster-head which the nodes belong to. After a cluster-head collects all the data from all member nodes, it transmits the data to the base station (sink) either in a compressed or uncompressed ma...
Information-centric sensor networks for cognitive IoT: an overview
Al-Turjman, Fadi M. (2017-02-01)
Information-centric sensor networks (ICSNs) are a paradigm of wireless sensor networks that focus on delivering information from the network based on user requirements, rather than serving as a point-to-point data communication network. Introducing learning in such networks can help to dynamically identify good data delivery paths by correlating past actions and results, make intelligent adaptations to improve the network lifetime, and also improve the quality of information delivered by the network to the ...
