Security and Aggregation-aware ML-Based MAC Protocol for Energy-Efficient Wireless Sensor Network
摘要
Secure and energy-efficient data transmission is primary requirement for the efficient and secure utilization of bandwidth. The advancement of machine learning opens a new scope for the early prediction of the attacks. In the present work, a Security-aware and Aggregation-aware Energy Efficient Data Transmission algorithm is proposed for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) which integrating machine learning-driven attack prediction with adaptive data aggregation strategies. The proposed method classifies sensor nodes into two risk categories based on the predicted probability of attack: high-risk, and low-risk data transmission. Communication from sensor nodes to cluster heads (CHs) employs an enhanced energy-aware TDMA (EATDMA) mechanism, while data aggregation is selectively applied only at the CH level. Aggregated data is further secured and transmitted to the base station via a bit-mapping assisted (BMA) aggregation-aware protocol. This approach minimizes energy consumption while enhancing resilience to attacks, ensuring both data integrity and operational longevity of the network. The proposed aggregation method utilizes secure data transmission using AES-256 mechanism at application layer.
