Modelling and Analysis of the Epidemic Model under Pulse Charging in Wireless Rechargeable Sensor Networks

Abstract

With the development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), energy constraints and network security have become the main problems. This paper discusses the dynamic of the Susceptible, Infected, Low-energy, Susceptible model under pulse charging (SILS-P) in wireless rechargeable sensor networks. After the construction of the model, the local stability and global stability of the malware-free T-period solution of the model are analyzed, and the threshold R0 is obtained. Then, using the comparison theorem and Floquet theorem, we obtain the relationship between R0 and the stability. In order to make the conclusion more intuitive, we use simulation to reveal the impact of parameters on R0. In addition, the paper discusses the continuous charging model, and reveals its dynamic by simulation. Finally, the paper compares three charging strategies: pulse charging, continuous charging and non-charging and obtains the relationship between their threshold values and system parameters.
