| Abstract | Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have gained increasing popularity in ubiquitous support of sensing system services. Often, WSNs are energy-constrained and they are deployed in harsh and unattended environments. Consequently, WSNs are vulnerable to energy and environmental factors. To ensure secure and reliable operations in safety-critical monitoring WSNs, it is important to guarantee energy-efficient communications, location privacy protection, and reliability. Fake packet-based source location privacy (SLP) protocols are known to be energy-inefficient. Therefore, in this study, we investigate the impact of energy-inefficient communications on the privacy performance of the fake packet-based SLP protocols. Experiment results show that the protocols achieve short-term and less reliable SLP protection. |
