Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely adopted by various civilian/military applications for implementing real-time monitoring or long-term surveillance task. Considering sensor nodes with mobility has emerged as a major application in environmental monitoring or surveillance. Due to the limited battery lifetime, the network in the deployed region is divided into clusters and the clusters are controlled by their Cluster Heads (CH). But selecting CH in WSNs (considering the network with both static and mobility nodes) is a challenging task because security is significant. To prevent the malicious sensor node from becoming CH, Secure Mobility Cluster Based Algorithm (SMCBA) is proposed. This algorithm considers only static node among mobility node for selecting CH with efficient parameters such as trust criteria, selection time and mobility. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm works effectively compared with the existing clustering algorithms.
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.
