Query Based Location Aware Energy Efficient Secure Multicast Routing for Wireless Sensor Networks Using Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), balancing authentication and energy is a major concern while deploying for wireless applications. Due to the presence of attackers, node consumes excessive energy for packet replication or transmission. In existing work, it is observed that attention was not done on balancing energy and data authentication. Location aided routing will also support for achieving high network lifetime. Fuzzy decision approach was widely used in sensor network for ensuring quality of routing and transmission. In the proposed work, Fuzzy enhanced query based secure energy efficient multicast routing is implemented. Query based location based cluster formation is done for quick packet arrival. Optimal multicast routes are found to forward the packets with reliability. The reliable routes are identified using reliable index. Fuzzy decision model is integrated to provide secure and energy based network model for packet transmission. Network Simulator (NS2.35) is used for simulation for analyzing the performance of proposed protocol in terms of various network parameters.
