본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크에서 수명을 연장하기 위해 이동하는 모바일 싱크를 사용할 때 싱크가 이동함에 따라 늘어난 전체 네트워크 트래픽 량을 줄여 더욱더 수명을 연장하기 위해서 클러스터를 도입한다. 고정된 위치에서 싱크가 데이터를 수집할 경우 싱크 한 홉 내에 있는 노드들이 에너지를 빨리 소모하여 네트워크 파티션이 일어나기 쉽기 때문에 모바일 싱크를 사용하여 네트워크 수명을 연장하는 방법이 연구되었다. 이에 우리는 모바일 싱크가 이동하는 패턴이 주어지고 센서들로부터 매 T 마다 데이터를 받는다고 할 때 모바일 싱크와 클러스터를 함께 사용하였을 경우 네트워크 성능을 분석하고 에너지 효율적인 클러스터 형성 방법에 대해서 제안한다.

We propose a method using the genetic algorithm to solve the maximum set cover problem. It is needed for scheduling the power of sensor nodes in extending the lifetime of the wireless sensor network with variable sensing range. The existing Greedy Heuristic method calculates the power scheduling of sensor nodes repeatedly in the process of operation, and so the communication traffic of sensor nodes is increased. The proposed method reduces the amount of communication traffic of sensor nodes, and so the energies of nodes are saved, and the lifetime of network can be extended. The effectiveness of this method was verified through computer simulation, and considering the energy losses of communication operations about 10% in the network lifetime is improved.

A Wireless Sensor Network is a network that is composed of wireless sensor nodes. There is no restriction on the place where it can be installed because it is composed wirelessly. Instead, sensor nodes have limited energy, such as batteries. Therefore, to use the network for a long time, energy consumption should be minimized. Several protocols have been proposed to minimize energy consumption, and the typical protocol is the LEACH protocol. The LEACH protocol is a cluster-based protocol that minimizes energy consumption by dividing the sensor field into clusters. Depending on how you organize the clusters of sensor field, network lifetimes may increase or decrease. In this paper, we will improve the network lifetime by improving the cluster head selection method in LEACH Protocol.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm that improve network lifetime by adjusting cluster size according to location information of sensor node in wireless sensor network (WSN) using clustering algorithm. The collected sensing information by sensor nodes in each cluster are transferred to sink node using inter-cluster communications method. Cluster head (CH) that located nearby sink node spend much more energy than those of far from sink node, because nearer CH forwards more data, so network lifetime has a tendency to decrease. Proposed algorithm minimizes energy consumption in adjacent cluster to sink node by decreasing cluster size, and improve CH lifetime by distributing transmission paths. As a result of mathematical analysis, the proposed algorithm shows longer network lifetime in WSN.

In multi-hop wireless networks like Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), nodes often rely on batteries as their power source. In such cases, energy efficient routing is critical. Many schemes have been proposed to find the most energy efficient path, but most of them do not achieve optimality on network lifetime. Once found, the energy efficient path is constantly used such that the energy of the nodes on the path is depleted quickly. As an alternative, the approaches that dynamically change the path at run time have also been proposed. These approaches, however, involve high overhead of establishing multiple paths. In this paper, we first find an optimal multi-path routing using LP. Then we apply an approximation algorithm to derive a near-optimal solution for single-path routing. We compare the performance of the proposed scheme with several other existing algorithms through simulation.

Cooperative transmission is an effective technique to combat multi-path fading and reduce transmitted power. Relay selection and power allocation are important technical issues to determine the performance of cooperative transmission. In this paper, we proposed a new multi-relay selection and power allocation algorithm to increase network lifetime. The proposed relay selection scheme minimizes the transmitted power and increase the network lifetime by considering residual power as well as channel conditions. Simulation results show that proposed algorithm obtains much longer network lifetime than the conventional algorithm.

Sensor network consists of a large number of sensor nodes that are densely deployed either inside the phenomenon or very close to it. The life time of each node in the sensor network significantly affects the life time of whole sensor network. A node which drained out its battery may incur the partition of whole network in some network topology The life time of each node depends on the battery capacity of each node. Therefore if all sensor nodes in the network live evenly long, the life time of the network will be longer. In this paper, we propose Cluster-Based Power-Efficient Routing (CBPER) Protocol which provides scalable and efficient data delivery to multiple mobile sinks. Previous r(luting protocols, such as Directed Diffusion and TTDD, need to flood many control packets to support multiple mobile sinks and many sources, causing nodes to consume their battery. In CBPER, we use the fact that sensor nodes are stationary and location-aware to construct and maintain the permanent grid structure, which makes nodes live longer by reducing the number of the flooding control packets. We have evaluated CBPER performance with TTDD. Our results show that CBPER is more power-efficient routing protocol than TTDD.

The efficient node-energy utilization in wireless sensor networks has been studied because sensor nodes operate with limited power based on battery. To extend the lifetime of the wireless sensor networks, maintaining balanced power consumption between sensor nodes is more important than reducing total energy consumption of the overall network. Since a large number of sensor nodes are densely deployed and collect data by cooperation in wireless sensor network, keeping more sensor nodes alive as possible is important to extend the lifetime of the sensor network. In this paper, we submit an efficient energy aware routing protocol based on AODV ad hoc routing protocol for wireless sensor networks to increase its lifetime without degrading network performance. The proposed protocol is designed to avoid traffic congestion on minor specific nodes at data transfer and to make the node power consumption be widely distributed to increase the lifetime of the network. The performance of the proposed protocol has been examined and evaluated with the NS-2 simulator in terms of network lifetime and end-to-end delay.

Mobile Ad-hoc 네트워크(MANET)에서 각 노드들은 한정된 배터리에 의존하여 통신한다. 이와 같은 제한사항을 극복하기 위해 링크의 안정성을 유지하거나 파워 소모를 고려한 프로토콜에 대한 연구들이 활발히 이루어져 왔다. 하지만 링크의 안정성 또는 파워 소모의 어느 한 측면만을 고려함으로써 링크의 안정성은 높일 수 있으나 파워 소모가 효율적이지 못했다. 반면에 전체 파워소모는 줄일 수 있었으나 파워소모의 균형을 이루지 못함으로써 네트워크 수명을 오래 지속시킬 수 없는 문제점이 발생 했다. 본 논문에서는 배터리 잔량에 대한 threshold를 적용함과 동시에 신호세기를 고려하여 각 노드들의 균형된 파워소모와 네트워크 전체의 파워 소모를 최소화함으로써 네트워크 수명을 오래 지속시키기 위한 프로토콜인 PRTRS(Power Aware Routing Protocol based on Both Threshold by Residual Battery Capacity and Signal Strength in Mobile Ad-hoc Network)를 제안한다. PRTRS는 AODV(Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing)를 기반으로 하였다. NS-2 네트워크 시뮬레이션 결과 PRTRS는 특정 노드로 집중되는 트래픽을 분산시켜 파워소모의 균형을 이루고 네트워크 전체의 파워소모를 최소화함으로써 네트워크 수명이 연장됨을 확인하였다.
