Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) with remote sensing capability is gaining popularity in many of the real time applications such as military, healthcare, environment, home and other commercial applications.WSN is typically composed of various components such as sensor node, relay node, cluster head, gateway, base station. Such a critical network is vulnerable to most dangerous threats caused by worms towards the integrity and confidentiality of information passed through it. The study of the influence of clamor in propagation of potential of worm in WSN is of more significance. In this paper, a logical model is proposed that is reliant on pandemic theory. It is an improvement of the SIRS, SEIS and models. We propose an altered SEIRS (Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered-Susceptible) model with the added substance background noise that overcomes the drawbacks of the existing models. The close by adequacy of the model has been affirmed using Lyapunov’s work. We similarly address the effect of node fluctuations in the model through numerical simulations that is carried out to prove that our proposed system is mean square stable and resistance against fluctuations with respect to the spread of worms.
