                           Special Issue on 

        Algorithm and Theory for Robust Wireless Sensor Networks 

              http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdsn/osi/



Wireless sensor networks raise a number of interesting and undiscovered 

algorithmic issues, but traditional techniques are not sufficient to solve 

these problems in the right way. This is specifically due to constrained 

energy and computation capability, nondeterministic sensor failures, channel 

impairments, node mobility, hostile and distrusted environments, and even 

external attackers. In all these respects, wireless sensor networks exhibit 

substantial vulnerability when compared to other networks. It is challenging 

to design a robust wireless sensor network by devising novel algorithms or 

developing new theories whilst introducing minimal communication overhead 

and energy consumption. For example, sensor nodes are often deployed in 

outdoor or hazardous environments. Power outage of sensors can lead to node 

failure and cause many serious problems. Recently, an aggressive approach 

has been developed that wirelessly re-charges the sensor nodes to increase 

the robustness of the sensor networks. The charging tasks can be performed 

by single or multiple mobile machines. However, the algorithmic and 

theoretical issues in the wireless charging problem for WSNs were not fully 

explored.



The main focus of this special issue is devoted to deeper understanding of 

the algorithms and theories which are developed to build up a robust 

wireless sensor network. Moreover, it is to push the theoretical and 

practical research forward for a deeper understanding in the fundamental 

algorithm, modeling, and analysis techniques of robust wireless sensor 

networks. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:



 Algorithms and theories for wireless sensor networks related to robustness 

issues 

 Performance analysis of reliable protocols for wireless sensor networks 

 Robust routing algorithms in wireless sensor networks

 Robust topology control techniques in wireless sensor networks

 Robust coverage algorithms in wireless sensor networks

 Robust MAC protocols in wireless sensor networks

 Robust position estimation in wireless sensor networks

 Duplicate data and resource optimization in mobile wireless networks

 Wireless recharging strategies in mobile wireless sensor networks

 Fault-tolerant clustering and cooperative strategies in wireless sensor 

networks

 Robust boundary detection algorithms in wireless sensor networks
