FW-PSO Algorithm to Enhance the Invulnerability of Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks Topology

摘要

When an industrial wireless sensor network (WSN) is seriously disturbed and intentionally attacked, sometimes it fails easily, even leading to the paralysis of the entire industrial wireless network. In order to improve the invulnerability of networks, in this paper, the scale-free network in complex networks is taken as the research object, and the industrial WSN with scale-free characteristics is modeled. Based on the advantages of the fireworks algorithm, such as strong searching ability and diversity of population, a so-called fireworks and particle swarm optimization (FW-PSO) algorithm is proposed, which can improve the global search ability and convergence speed effectively. The proposed FW-PSO algorithm is used to optimize the network topology and form a network with the largest natural connectivity, which can effectively promote the ability of network to resist the cascade failure problem. The dynamic invulnerability of the optimized network under highest-degree (HD) attack and lowest-degree (LD) attack strategies, as well as the static invulnerability under random attack, were evaluated respectively. Simulation experiments show that the industrial WSN optimized by FW-PSO can significantly improve the performance of the dynamic and static invulnerabilities compared with the initial network and the networks optimized by the other two existing algorithms.
