Wireless sensor networks are mainly used to monitor the environmental conditions like temperature, pressure, vibration, etc... The sensed data is then transmitted to the intended receiver. The sensed data on its path, may suffer from the interruption of the attacks due to the broadcast nature of the wireless environment and due to the fading effect. The sensitive information may get caught by the intruder and false data may be forwarded to the receiver. Sending the false data or dropping of the packets are tolerate to some less important data. But sensors are mainly fixed to monitor the important factors like forest fire detection, earthquake monitoring, productivity monitoring. These critical and time sensitive data need to be transmitted without suffering from any delay and attacks. Thus security measures are to be taken in sensor environment to prevent unnecessary activities in the network. In industrial wireless sensor network, the signal carrying the sensed data may suffer from fading effect due to the machineries, engine vibrations. This fading effect may pay way for the eavesdroppers to overhear the sensed data. Thus to avoid this problem, the secured channel is need to be selected to transmit the sensed data. The channel state information can be gathered and based on the channel information, scheduling scheme can be used to schedule the sensors based on the secrecy capacity of the channel. Thus the sensors sending the data in the secured channel will be less prone to the attackers.

Keywords- Sensor scheduling, channel selection, security, eavesdropping attack, link information, channel state information.
