Various control and monitoring systems based on wireless sensor networks face numerous scientific and technological challenges, many of which are conceptually new. Certain aspects of the functioning of wireless sensor networks significantly affect the performance of the developed system.
Despite the high amount of research on networks and systems security, that comes out every day, the field of intrusion detection still attracts the interest of many researchers as one of the most important axes that contribute to understand the attacks behavior for providing an efficient and accurate solution with low cost. Wireless sensor network and Internet of Things are one of the special networks that have several constraints, limited computational resources, and the most vulnerable for attacks, especially, DoS and DDoS attacks, which considered as the most danger
The article is devoted to the application of a genetic algorithm for determining the optimal route in a wireless sensor network. The paper presents a classification of data routing strategies based on: the method of determining routes, network structure, network operations, and communication organiser. The genetic algorithm is classified as a multi-path routing strategy, since its use allows obtaining a set of routes.
The article examines the algorithm increase the lifetime of wireless sensor network. The model performance optimization using a range selection transmission and mode active/sleep sensors
