Since all sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks work by their own embedded batteries, if a node runs out of its battery, the sensor network can not operate normally. In this situation we should employ the routing protocols which can consume the energy of nodes efficiently. Many protocols for energy efficient routing in sensor networks have been suggested but LEACH and PEGASIS are most well known protocols. However LEACH consumes energy heavily in the head nodes and the head nodes tend to die early and PEGASIS - which is known as a better energy efficient protocol - has a long transfer time from a source node to sink node and the nodes close to the sink node expend energy sharply since it makes a long hop of data forwarding. We proposed a new hybrid protocol of LEACH and PEGASIS, which uses the clustering mechanism of LEACH and the chaining mechanism of PEGASIS and it makes the life time of sensor networks longer than other protocols and we improved the performance 33% and 18% higher than LEACH-C and PEGASIS respectively.

Wireless sensor networks consist of small battery powered devices with limited energy resources. Once deployed, the small sensor nodes are usually inaccessible to the user, and thus replacement of the energy source is not feasible. Hence, energy efficiency is a key design issue that needs to be enhanced in order to improve the life span of the network. Directed Diffusion is a well known routing protocol. In this paper we adopt the clustering mechanism to improve the efficiency of Directed Diffusion. We introduce C-Directed Diffusion which make clusters, select the CH(Cluster Head) and CHs do the same process as in Directed Diffusion. C-Directed Diffusion is pretty simple and show better performance than Directed Diffusion.

다양한 환경에서 쓰이고 있는 무선 센서 네트워크 기술은 센서 노드들을 이용하여 정보 수집을 하고 있다. 하지만, 무선 센서 네트워크에서의 센서 노드들은 전력을 유선으로 공급받는 것이 아니라, 제한적인 배터리 용량을 사용하기 때문에 효율적인 배터리 관리가 필요하다. 무선 센서네트워크에서는 이러한 센서 노드들의 에너지 효율을 향상시키기 위해서 현재까지 수많은 라우팅 기법들이 제안되어 왔다[1]. 그중에서 보다 에너지 효율적인 기법인 PEGASIS 기법을 이용하여, PEGASIS기법이 가지고 있는 단점과 그 내용을 보완한 방법을 제시하려한다. 제안된 기법은 기존의 클러스터 기반에서 PEGASIS 기법을 이용하는 방법으로 구성하였다. 이로 인해 기존에 제안되었던, LEACH, LEACH-C, PEGASIS와 비교하였을 때, 센서 노드들의 수명이 전체적으로 증가할 것으로 보고 있다.

In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic workload balancing strategy which improves the performance of high-performance computing system. The key idea of this dynamic workload balancing strategy is to minimize execution time of each job and to maximize the system throughput by effectively using system resource such as CPU, memory. Also, this strategy dynamically allocates job by considering demanded memory size of executing job and workload status of each node. If an overload node occurs due to allocated job, the proposed scheme migrates job, executing in overload nodes, to another free nodes and reduces the waiting time and execution time of job by balancing workload of each node. Through simulation, we show that the proposed dynamic workload balancing strategy based on CPU, memory improves the performance of high-performance computing system compared to previous strategies.
