A Performance Efficient Quadrant-Based Scheme for Multiple Assets Location Preservation in Wireless Sensor Networks.

The usefulness of wireless sensor networks has grown throughout numerous areas, many of which demand constant monitoring of the event of interest by the sensor nodes. The wireless transfer of information and the connection of the sensors, however, present the network with a number of security risks. A real-world concern is a danger to source location privacy for networks when several events of interest are monitored. In this research, we present the quadrant-based boundary routing (QBR) method for multiple source location privacy protection. In the first phase, the packet is routed arbitrarily away from the source nodes by random routing, and then quadrant routing begins. Before being sent to the base station using a forward random walk, the packet is transmitted to either side of the network border. We present a theoretical analysis of the maximum delay for the proposed technique. Extensive simulations are carried out and results demonstrate that in contrast to Shortest Path Routing, QBR elevates security by 880.95%, entropy by 623.28%, and capture rate by 71.42% for multiple assets, whereas contemporary PRLPRW increases the corresponding metrics by 692%, 390%, and 49.28%, respectively.
