A Fuzzy-Based Relay Security Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks.

Wireless sensor network data is an important source of big data. A sensor node cooperatively transmits or forwards data through intermediate nodes to a collection center, which is then aggregated for big data analysis and application. The relay selection algorithm selects the best transmissible node among the candidate nodes to fully exploit the limited resources of the sense nodes and extend the network lifecycle. A wireless sensor network relay selection algorithm based on a fuzzy inference system often uses sorting methods or random methods as the selection mechanism to choose when the fuzzy system outputs the same result. However, in the state of communication, networks often face the retransmission of lost packets, which consumes excess electricity. This study proposes a contraindicated safety selection mechanism algorithm to address equal output values in fuzzy systems. The proposed algorithm effectively reduces the retransmission probability to achieve benefits that isolate destructive or malicious nodes, thereby maintaining a higher network lifespan and safety.
