Abstract

To measure the degree of basic service of wireless sensor network (WSN) with denial of service (DoS) attacks, it is necessary to evaluate survivability of WSN. This paper presents new method based on services and Markov Chain. It distinguishes services, analyzes influence of services under DoS attacks, gets the formula of survivability. Probability of states is obtained by markov chain, then the quantitve survivability is getted in different states. Simulations prove that DoS attacks obviously decrease the survivability of WSN, but adding node energy and improving node density in certain range can reduce the influence of DoS attacks.
