Abstract

Objectives: To review the basic principles of Multi-path Routing Protocols (MRPs) design and its performance metrics. To discuss the assortment of MRPs overview for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) based on its arrangement and delivery. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The enhanced reliability, load balance and security promote the multi-path routing as an appropriate tool in the domain of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In order to obtain simultaneous data transfer with reduced delay period, critical review is made based on the performance metrics, taxonomy of MRPs, and qualitative comparison. Findings: From the discussions, it can be concluded that most of the protocols achieved better load balance with improved performance. Coding based MRPs can perform with better reliability when compared to other protocols. Application/Improvements: The survey of earlier reports led to the decisions that the energy-efficient, reduced transmission delay with multiple pairs is the details to be studied in the domain of MRPs.

Abstract

Objective: Byzantine Attacks are more challenging to protect against and it may stop Transmitting and cheating with malicious data in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The Primary objective is to give a solution to enhance the security in terms of Byzantine attacks. Methods/Analysis: In this paper, Space Efficient Secret Sharing (SESS) scheme is proposed for secured data delivery in the WSN. The SESS scheme primarily uses recursive polynomial interpolation and its secret size is optimized as k^zz_-1. Besides, this paper incorporates the Prufer Sequence and 3-node disjoint shortest Multipath Routing for optimizing the number of paths between the source and the destination. Findings: The implementation is mainly concern towards the effectiveness of SESS scheme over RS-coding scheme. Since, RS-coding scheme has more computation than the proposed. The key finding reveals that the proposed SESS scheme is outperformed in many instances. Conclusion: The simulation results depict the various performance metrics of WSN in terms of the quality of service. Among the list of metrics, the proposed SESS scheme is outperformed in optimizing the control packet overhead. It improves the average network lifetime, since it is consuming less energy.
