摘要:Wireless sensor networks (WSN) is a novel data centered self-organizing network that can be used in acquiring and processing information. With the limited energy of sensor nodes and the increasing requirement of secure data transmission, how to save nodes energy as well as realize a transmission of sensitive information in WSN effectively is becoming an interesting research problem recently. In this paper, we present a novel scheme to transmit sensitive information in the pattern of energy efficient way by utilizing compressive sensing (CS) which is an emerging technology in recent years. In this method, sensor nodes need not to do complex computing but simple linear operations which can save the energy extensively, and thus extend the life time of the wireless sensor networks. Theory analysis and detail simulation results demonstrate the effective of our method, and the sensitive information can be accurately reconstructed even when the communication channel is lossy.
