Abstract

This paper proposes a node self-recommendation mechanism which is effective in trust calculation model in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The mechanism has little practical sense to cable and wireless network among which nodes’ resources, especially energy, are almost unlimited; furthermore it may bring some security risk to networks on the contrary. But as to WSNs where nodes’ resources are strictly limited, a node can express its intension of participating communication to its neighbors by using the mechanism according to its current running state and predefined strategies. This mechanism is useful to save nodes’ energy, balance network load and prolong network lifetime ultimately. The paper focuses on self-recommendation value expression, calculation and synthesis method. Application method of the mechanism is also discussed. Simulation results show that using trust calculation model cooperatively with self-recommendation mechanism can protect low energy nodes effectively and balance energy consumption among adjacent nodes without weakening malicious node identification function of the trust model.
