This paper proposes a minimum spanning tree-based energy-saving routing algorithm for WSNs. First, sensor nodes are clustered using the LEACH protocol and minimum spanning trees are constructed within clusters and between cluster heads. The spanning tree edge weights are optimized considering transmission energy, residual energy, and energy consumption rate. This avoids channel competition and improves transmission efficiency. An energy-saving routing model is then built whereby deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agents calculate paths optimizing the energy utilization rate. The DRL reward function integrates network performance metrics like energy consumption, delay, and packet loss. Experiments show the proposed approach leads to 10-15W lower average switch energy consumption compared to existing methods. The throughput is high since overloaded shortest paths are avoided. The average path length is close to shortest path algorithms while maintaining energy efficiency. In summary, the proposed minimum spanning tree-based routing algorithm successfully achieves energy-saving goals for WSNs while guaranteeing network performance. It provides an efficient and adaptive routing solution for resource-constrained WSNs.","PeriodicalId":54970,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Computers Communications & Control","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136132510","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}

High-end learning solutions that go beyond the boundaries of the problem are necessary for addressing the variety of communication concerns (compatibility, secure communication, etc.) in IoT settings. Building machine learning (ML) networks from disparate data sources is a cutting-edge practice known as Federated Learning (FL). In this article, we implement FL between edge-based servers and devices in a sparsely populated cloud to facilitate cohesive learning and the storage of critical information in smart IoT systems. FL enables collaborative training from a common model by aggregating smaller unit models via regulated edge network participants. Further, all the susceptible device’s information and sensitive message transactions are addressed via blockchain technology. Thus, a blockchain-based security mechanism is integrated to secure user privacy and facilitate widespread practical adoption. Finally, a comparison is made between the proposed model and the three best free, open-source Federated Learning models already in use (FedPD, FedProx, and FedAvg).
