As an important part of the Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely used in military, transportation, medical, and household fields. However, in the applications of wireless sensor networks, the adversary can infer the location of a source node and an event by backtracking attacks and traffic analysis. The location privacy leakage of a source node has become one of the most urgent problems to be solved in wireless sensor networks. To solve the problem of source location privacy leakage, in this paper, we first propose a proxy source node selection mechanism by constructing the candidate region. Secondly, based on the residual energy of the node, we propose a shortest routing algorithm to achieve better forwarding efficiency. Finally, by combining the proposed proxy source node selection mechanism with the proposed shortest routing algorithm based on the residual energy, we further propose a new, anonymous communication scheme. Meanwhile, the performance analysis indicates that the anonymous communication scheme can effectively protect the location privacy of the source nodes and reduce the network overhead.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/6670847","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,24]],"date-time":"2021-02-24T20:50:08Z","timestamp":1614199808000},"page":"1-16","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["An Efficient Anonymous Communication Scheme to Protect the Privacy of the Source Node Location in the Internet of Things"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5730-3315","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Fengyin","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Qufu Normal University, Rizhao 276826, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2028-726X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Pei","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Qufu Normal University, Rizhao 276826, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9777-6790","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Guoyu","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Qufu Normal University, Rizhao 276826, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7793-925X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yuhong","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Qufu Normal University, Rizhao 276826, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1524-2064","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yilei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Qufu Normal University, Rizhao 276826, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0575-172X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yanli","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Qufu Normal University, Rizhao 276826, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2725-9090","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Siyuan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, Qufu Normal University, Rizhao 276826, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1634-9840","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Huiyu","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Informatics, University of Leicester, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"year":"2016","author":"N.
