  • Publication number: 20250048105
    Abstract: A wireless sensor network (WSN) and a method of routing in a wireless sensor network (WSN) includes wireless sensor nodes for monitoring an environment and a base station having a WSN manager to which information about the environment is sent from the wireless sensor nodes via multiple hop communication. The method includes responding to an attack on the wireless sensor network by an adversary to locate critical nodes among the wireless sensor nodes by adaptively deploying a sequence of different routing mechanisms, by the WSN manager, to the wireless sensor nodes such that location privacy preservation (LPP) is protected by preventing detection of location of the critical nodes.
