Deskripsi

With the development of wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs ), security issues of WRSNs have attracted more attention from scholars around the world. In this paper, a novel epidemic model, SILS(<b>S</b>usceptible, <b>I</b>nfected, <b>L</b>ow-energy, <b>S</b>usceptible), considering the removal, charging and reinfection process of WRSNs is proposed. Subsequently, the local and global stabilities of disease-free and epidemic equilibrium points are analyzed and simulated after obtaining the basic reproductive number <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>R</mi><mn>0</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>. Detailedly, the simulations further reveal the unique characteristics of SILS when it tends to being stable, and the relationship between the charging rate and <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>R</mi><mn>0</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>. Furthermore, the attack-defense game between malware and WRSNs is constructed and the optimal strategies of both players are obtained. Consequently, in the case of <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>R</mi><mn>0</mn></msub><mo><</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>R</mi><mn>0</mn></msub><mo>></mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, the validity of the optimal strategies is verified by comparing with the non-optimal control group in the evolution of sensor nodes and accumulated cost.
