Energy Optimization Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks for Forest Fire Detection:: An Innovative Sleep Technique

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have the potential to play a significant role in forest fire detection and prevention. However, limited resources, such as short battery life pose challenges for the energy efficiency and longevity of WSN-based IoT networks. This paper focused on the energy efficiency aspect and proposed the ECP-LEACH protocol to optimize energy consumption in forest fire detection cases. The proposed protocol consists of two main components: a threshold monitoring module and a sleep scheduling module. The threshold monitoring module continuously monitors energy consumption and triggers sleep mode for nodes surpassing the predetermined threshold. The ECP-LEACH protocol offers a promising solution for improving energy efficiency in WSN-based IoT networks for forest fire detection. By optimizing sleep scheduling and duty cycles, the ECP-LEACH protocol enables significant energy savings and extended network lifetim

Robust and Reliable Security Approach for IoMT: Detection of DoS and Delay Attacks through a High-Accuracy Machine Learning Model

Internet of Medical Things (IoMT ) refers to the network of medical devices and healthcare systems that are connected to the internet. However, this connectivity also makes IoMT vulnerable to cyberattacks such as DoS and Delay attacks , posing risks to patient safety, data security, and public trust. Early detection of these attacks is crucial to prevent harm to patients and system malfunctions. In this paper, we address the detection and mitigation of DoS and Delay attacks in the IoMT using machine learning techniques. To achieve this objective, we constructed an IoMT network scenario using Omnet++ and recorded network traffic data. Subsequently, we utilized this data to train a set of common machine learning algorithms. Additionally, we proposed an Enhanced Random Forest Classifier for Achieving the Best Execution Time (ERF-ABE), which aims to achieve high accuracy and sensitivity as well as  low execution time for detecting these types of attacks in IoMT networks. This classifier combines the strengths of random forests with optimization techniques to enhance performance. Based on the results, the execution time has been reduced by implementing ERF-ABE, while maintaining high levels of accuracy and sensitivity
