Quantitative Invulnerability Analysis of Artificial Spider-Web Topology Model Based on End-to-End Delay

Abstract EN

This paper presents an artificial spider-web topology model inspired by the structure and invulnerability of a spider web.

A hierarchical clustering routing rule is accordingly established using the vibration transmission features of the natural spider web as a reference.

Furthermore, the end-to-end delay is applied as the quantitative indicator of invulnerability for analyzing the communication performance and characteristics of the artificial spider-web topology.

The simulation tests of a one-layer and 3-layer artificial spider-web model are implemented to obtain the importance and destructive tolerance of network components based on OPNET, with the change of communication conditions and fault types.

This paper can provide a practical analysis method for the invulnerability of the artificial spider-web topology and offer important implications for the construction and maintenance of wireless sensor networks based on the topology.
