Efficient Sensor-Cloud Communication using Data Classification and Compression

Abstract

Abstract-Wireless Sensor Network, a group of specialized sensors with a communication infrastructure for monitoring and controlling conditions at diverse locations, is a recent technology which is getting popularity day by day. Besides, cloud computing is a type of high-performance computing that uses a network of remote servers which simultaneously provides the service to store, manage and process data rather than a local server or personal computer. An architecture called sensor-cloud is also providing good services by combining the capabilities from both ends. In order to provide such services, a large volume of sensor network data needs to be transported to cloud gateway with a high amount of bandwidth and time requirement. In this paper, we have proposed an efficient sensor-cloud communication approach that minimizes the enormous bandwidth and time requirement by using statistical classification based on machine learning as well as compression using deflate algorithm with a minimal loss of information. Experimental results describe the overall efficiency of the proposed method over the traditional and related research.

A Framework for Leveraging Image Security in Cloud with Simultaneous Compression and Encryption Using Compressive Sensing

“…Their method was effective in reducing overhead in data transmission and storage in cloud. Rahman et al [11] explored the importance of compressive sensing and secure deduplication in cloud computing environments. Luo et al [12] explored the concepts of compressive sensing and damage monitoring based on data-fusion based structure.…”

“…Compressive sensing based approaches for compression and encryption are explored by Karthika et al [9]. There is simultaneous CS and encryption towards secure deduplication [10] while CS is used for medical image security and confidentiality [11]. Cloud-assisted system is built for CS based data gathering [12] while secure video deduplication with CS is explored by Yang et al [13].…”
