Existing research on cascading failures of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) fails to take into
account the role of the sink node on network load distribution, and rarely involves how to …

Due to the prominent advantages in network lifetime and energy balance, the application of
multi-sink wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is becoming more and more widespread …

Dempster–Shafer theory (DST) has extensive and important applications in information
fusion. However, when the evidences are highly conflicting with each other, the Dempster's …

Cascading failure is one of the key issues affecting the reliability of edge-assisted Internet of
Things (IoTs), but is rarely studied. In this paper, a cascading model is developed with full …

Rapid developments in processors and radio technology have led to the emergence of small
sensor nodes capable of communicating in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Nodes in …

Abstract In Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the intelligent production unit is both the
information sender and the service provider. While this dual role gives the whole system …

Existing routing protocols for multi-sink wireless sensor networks (WSNs) attempt to optimize
energy efficiency and routing survivability from the perspective of the network itself, without …

Establishing a scale-free topology is widely regarded as one of the effective methods that
can significantly improve the fault tolerance performance of wireless sensor networks …

Cascade failures are one of the key issues restricting the widespread application of the
Internet of Things (IoT). Under different routing modes, the cascade failure process of the IoT …

In wireless sensor networks (WSN), flooding increases the reliability in terms of successful
transmission of a packet with higher overhead. The flooding consumes the resources of the …
