The problem of figuring out the number and positions of controllers and mapping of switches to them is known as the controller placement problem. To provide the resilience against the failure of a controller, each switch is mapped to a primary controller (first reference controller or FRC) and a backup controller (second reference controller or SRC). An existing work aims to minimize the worst‐case latency (WCL) from switch to controller when a controller fails. But this work misses the constraint specifying the definition of a switch's SRC, which might cause an increase in the latency between some switches and their controllers in the event of a controller failure. In order to address this issue, a model is proposed in this paper by incorporating the missing constraint. But the addition of this constraint can potentially cause an increase in the minimum number of required controllers. In order to address this issue, a second model is proposed in this paper by modifying the capacity constraint based on the observation that the capacity of a controller need not be reserved for all the switches for which it acts as SRC. The two proposed models aim at minimizing the WCL from switch to controller when a controller fails. Three network topologies are used to test the proposed models and compare their performance with the existing model in terms of principal and subsidiary metrics. The results demonstrate that the proposed models perform on equal level with the existing model in terms of WCL from switch to SRC while outperforming it in terms of average latency (AL). For example, the first proposed model achieves an average AL reduction of 21.63%, 8.55%, and 25.13% compared with the existing model on three networks. Similarly, the second proposed model achieves an average AL reduction of 21.3%, 8.55%, and 24.19% in each network on three networks. Moreover, the second proposed model achieves a fair trade‐off between the minimum number of controllers required and AL while outperforming both the existing and the first proposed models in terms of the average percentage of reserved controller capacity.","PeriodicalId":13946,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Communication Systems","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142196753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a Neuro‐Fuzzy based Cluster Formation (NFCF) scheme to facilitate adaptive and energy‐efficient cluster topologies. NFCF utilizes fuzzy logic and neural networks to identify optimal super nodes for flexible cluster formations. This approach enables configurable cluster sizes along with inclusion/exclusion criteria for member nodes based on energy thresholds. Parameters evaluated for node selection include the degree of super node, expected energy per cluster, energy variance, and residual energy. Nodes not meeting the thresholds are excluded. The neural network updates fuzzy rules to guide optimal clustering decisions based on anticipated energy dynamics under different conditions. The performance of the proposed NFCF scheme is evaluated based on objective function changes related to data transmission, individual node energy variation, energy variance before and after transmissions, and averaged end‐to‐end delay across transmission cycles.

WSNs have a wide range of applications across various domains due to their ability to provide real‐time data collection, remote monitoring, and data analysis. Still, in a WSN with a fixed sink, sensor nodes closer to the sink tend to have higher traffic loads because they forward data to nodes further away. This can lead to hotspots and uneven energy consumption. Introducing a mobile sink can distribute the traffic more evenly across the network, reducing congestion and balancing the energy consumption among nodes. Hence, this research proposes a novel WSN environment with a focus on energy‐efficient routing. The network is deployed using Voronoi‐based criteria to address network coverage issues. The clustering of nodes is employed using the proposed extended pelican optimization (ExPo) algorithm to improve network lifetime and energy efficiency, critical concerns in WSNs due to limited sensor node battery capacity. Cluster heads (CHs) aggregate and process data locally, reducing the energy needed for long‐range communication.
