Secure architecture to circumvent collision using RSSI measurement in WSN: a cross layer design approach

‘ Wireless sensor networks’ (WSNs) follow layered architecture for the fruitful and reliable working of distributed WSNs. The region of WSN is attaining importance in the research field on account of its wide-ranging scope of applications in different domains. The CLD (cross-layer design) is a rising trend in the network layer architectures. And it normally involves significant connections between disparate layers. This paper manages CLD instead of single layer in order to attain good performance. Collision amid packet transmission is the chief issues that directly influence the performance and lifetime of distributed WSNs. This present model specifically provided a secure solution to avoid collision utilizing cross-layer in WSNs. For the foremost time, the transport layer was chosen as a primary platform for the calculation of RSSI (‘received signal strength indicator’) values to enrich cross-layer interaction. Effectively, this sort of selection in the order of nodes bypasses the collision in packet transmission and hence extends the network lifetime by avoiding transmission failure.
