However, existing solutions cannot balance the load distribution in partially disconnected wireless sensor networks. For example, if a network is partitioned into several segments with different area sizes, some areas have much more traffic load than other areas. In this article, we propose a load-balanced routing scheme, which aims to balance energy consumption within each segment and among different segments. First, we adopt unequal transmission distances to build initial routing for intrasegment load balancing. Second, we adopt the genetic algorithm to build extra routing between different segments for intersegment load balancing. The unique character of our work is twofold. On one hand, we investigate partitioned wireless sensor networks where there are several isolated segments. On the other hand, we pursue load balancing from a global perspective rather than from a local one. Some simulations verify the effectiveness and the advantages of our scheme in terms of extra deployment cost, system longevity, and load balancing degree.","PeriodicalId":50327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42341092","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}

The monitoring system of infusion patient’s physical signs is integrated with sensor technology, bio-electronic technology, and computer network technology. By means of sensor detection, program control and data processing, the automatic detection and control of intravenous infusion process and real-time monitoring of the pulse information are realized. The monitoring equipment has been unable to adapt to the rapid development of medical technology. In this article, based on ZigBee module, automatic control of drip rate, abnormal alarm, real-time liquid crystal display of infusion progress, and other functions are realized without manual intervention. At the same time, the hardware part of the lower computer combines the detection of ECG and pulse to design a multi-parameter monitoring system of vital signs, and realizes the parameter synchronization management requirements of the monitoring terminal based on the local area network. The test proves that the research content in this article is higher than the traditional clinical management mode in terms of monitoring data consistency and data synchronization management accuracy, which can not only reduce the labor intensity of nursing staff, improve work efficiency, but also greatly reduce the potential risks in the nursing process, which is the future application trend of clinical medical nursing work.","PeriodicalId":50327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41494960","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}

However, some of federated learning participants are often inaccessible, such as in a power shortage or dormant state. That will force us to explore the possibility that the parameter aggregation is operated in an ad hoc manner, which is based on consensus computing. On the contrary, since caching mechanism is indispensable to any federated learning mobile node, it is necessary to investigate the connection between it and consensus computing. In this article, we first propose a novel federated learning paradigm, which supports an ad hoc operation mode for federated learning participants. Second, a discrete-time dynamic equation and its control law are formulated to satisfy the demands from federated learning framework, with a quantized caching scheme designed to mask the uncertainties from both asynchronous updates and measurement noises. Then, the consensus conditions and the convergence of the consensus protocol are deduced analytically, and a quantized caching strategy to optimize the convergence speed is provided. Our major contribution is to give the basic theories of distributed consensus problem for federated learning framework, and the theoretical results are validated by numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":50327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48346434","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}

In a smart grid, there are massive data to be processed, so cloud computing is introduced into it to form a cloud-based smart grid data management system.

Provable data possession has been proposed to solve this problem. With the development of quantum computer technology, quantum attacks-resistant cryptographic schemes are gradually entering people’s horizons. Lattice cryptography can resist quantum attacks. In this article, a lattice-based provable data possession scheme is proposed for cloud-based smart grid data management systems.

The proposed system architecture was implemented with the help of Splunk Enterprise Edition 6.42. A data set of average feature counts has been executed through a Splunk search command in 1-min intervals. All the data sets consisted of a minute trait total derived from a sparkling file.

The rule-based method dispensed a low quantity of irregular illustrations in contrast with the Partitioning Around Medoids method. The results in this study demonstrated that using a proportional collection of instances trained with the deep learning algorithm, a classified data set can accurately detect suspicious behavior.

Security issues are a significant obstacle to the widespread adoption of IPv6 technology. Resource-constrained IPv6 nodes face dual attacks: local and Internet-based. Moreover, constructing an active cyber defense system for IPv6-based wireless sensor networks is difficult. In this article, we propose a K-nearest neighbor-based intrusion detection mechanism and design a secure network framework. This mechanism trains an intrusion detection algorithm using a feature data set to create a normal profile. The intrusion detection algorithm uses the normal profile to perform real-time detection of network traffic data to achieve rapid detections connecting many devices in a wireless sensor network. In addition, we develop a test platform to verify this mechanism. Experimental results show that this mechanism is appropriate for IPv6-based wireless sensor networks and achieves a low false-positive rate and good intrusion detection accuracy at an acceptable resource cost.","PeriodicalId":50327,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43772315","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}
