Secure Path Cycle Selection Method Using Fuzzy Logic System for Improving Energy Efficiency in Statistical En-Route Filtering Based WSNs*

Sensor nodes are easily compromised to malicious attackers due to an open environment. A false injected attack which takes place on application layer is elected by the compromised node. If the false report arrives in a base station, a false alarm is occurred, and the energy of the nodes is consumed. To detect the false re-port, statistical en-route filtering method is proposed. In this paper, we proposed the secure path cycle selec-tion method using fuzzy rule-based system to consume effective energy. The method makes balanced energy consumption of each node. Moreover, the lifetime of the whole network will be increased. The base station determines the path cycle using the fuzzy rule-based system. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated using simulation studies with the three methods
