The position information is usually needed when wireless sensor networks are applied for surveillance within certain region. Thus the localization of nodes is critical for WSNs. However, the present localization schemes mostly focus on static sensor networks, and in mobile WSNs, these schemes will not work well. This paper proposes a range-free Monte Carlo localization algorithm TSBMCL, which is extended from the Monte Carlo Boxed (MCB) scheme [1] . In this scheme, the well localized nodes are applied to aid other nodes for localization based on the sequential Monte Carlo method. The scheme could further improve the localization accuracy of the WSNs. We evaluate the performance of the scheme with comparison to MCB using MATLAB. The simulation results demonstrate that the localization scheme outperforms the MCB scheme.
As same as the traditional application and system software, firmware also faced the risk of malicious code like hobbyhorse, back door, logical bomb and so on. Firmware exhibited strong cohesion and hardware relativity, which make the malicious action in firmware to be different from that in the traditional software. This paper analyzed the specificities of firmware and the malicious behaviour about it, then expatiate the essence of the malicious behaviour of the firmware, and presented a firmware formal definition and detecting method which was based on the hardware resources access control policy. Experimental results proved that the method was effective to detect the malicious firmware.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
