An Energy Aware Fuzzy Approach for the Enhancement of WSN

Abstract

Wireless sensor network refers to a group of spatially dispersed and dedicated sensors.Mainly used for monitoring and recording the physical conditions of the environment and organizing the collected data at a central location.The lifetime enhancement of this network is a crucial factor while we designing a network.This is mainly because the powersource of each node is a small battery this is not replaced and recharged. Energy is an important factor for sensor node, while there is one new type of attack called vampire attack has been discovered which disables network by consuming battery life of sensor network.Proposed methodology supposed to provide dynamic detection and removal of vampire attack from WSN. According to the proposed solution vampire attacker will be detected on the basis of packet monitoring and violation of certain network rules among network nodes.
