Sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks operate in distributed environments with limited resources and sensing capabilities. Especially, a sensor node has a small energy. After the sensor nodes are distributed in some area, it is not accessible to the area. AIso, a battery of sensor node cannot change. One of the hot issues in wireless sensor networks maximizes the network lifetime through minimizing the energy dissipation of sensor nodes. In LEACH, the cluster head is elected based on a kind of probability method without considering remaining energy of sensor node. In this paper, we propose a cluster formation scheme that the network elect the node, which has higher energy level than average energy level of overall sensor network, as cluster head node. We show the superiority of our scheme through computer simulation.

본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크에서 수명을 늘리기 위한 기존의 통신 프로토콜 중에서 모바일 에이전트가 있는 환경에서 전체 네트워크 트래픽 량을 줄여 더욱더 수명을 늘리기 위해서 클러스터를 도입한다. 고정된 위치에서 싱크가 데이터를 수집할 경우 싱크 한 홉 내에 있는 노드들이 에너지를 빨리 쓰기 때문에 네트워크 파티션이 일어나기 쉽다. 이를 해결하기 위해 모바일 에이전트를 이용하여 네트워크 수명을 연장하는 방법이 연구되었다. 하지만, 모바일 에이전트가 이동을 하게 되면 전체 네트워크의 트래픽 양이 많아진다. 늘어난 트래픽을 줄이기 위해 모바일 에이전트가 있을 때 클러스터링의 성능을 분석하고 에너지 효율적인 클러스터 방법에 대해서 제안한다.

The ubiquitous sensor network consists of micro sensors with wireless communication capabilities. Compared to wired communication, wireless communication is more subject to eavesdropping as well as data variation and manipulation. Accordingly, there must be efforts to secure the information delivered over the sensor network. Providing security to the sensor network, however, requires additional energy consumption, which is an important issue since energy transformation is difficult to implement in a sensor network. This paper proposes a routing mechanism based on the energy-efficient cluster that features security functions capable of safely processing the data acquired from the sensor network. The proposed algorithm reduces energy consumption by fixing the clusters formed at the initial stage and using the pre-distribution scheme so that the cluster and node keys generated and exchanged at the initial stage are not re-generated or re-exchanged. Simulation experiments confirmed that the proposed approach reduces energy consumption compared to implementing security measures to the conventional cluster-based routing mechanism.

In this paper, we propose a novel filtering method for processing continuous skyline queries on wireless sensor network environments. The existing filtering methods use the filter based on router paths. However, because these filters are applied not to a whole area but to a partial area, these methods send almost data of sensor nodes to transmit to the base station and have no sufficient effect in terms of energy efficiency. Therefore, we propose an efficient method to dramatically reduce the transmission data of sensors through applying a low-cost and effective filter to all sensor nodes. The proposed effective filter is generated by using characteristics such as the data locality and the clustering of sensors. An extensive performance study verifies the merits of our new method.

무선 센서 네트워크는 특정지역에 센서 노드를 설치하여 주변 정보 또는 특정 목적의 데이터를 수집하고, 그 정보를 수집하는 싱크(Sink)로 구성되어 있다. 무선 센서 네트워크의 수명은 망을 구성하는 센서 노드의 베터리 소비에 따라 수명이 결정 되고 하나의 노드가 죽기 시작하면서부터 급격하게 센서 노드의 베터리 소비가 커져 빠르게 죽는다. 무선 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 센서노드는 라우팅, 센싱을 수행하기 때문에 베터리 소비에 많은 부담을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 무선 센서 네트워크의 대표적 클러스터링 기반 라우팅 기법인 LEACH(Low - Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy)프로토콜에 SVM(Support Vector Machine)을 적용하여 센서노드의 균형적인 베터리 소비로 망을 효율적으로 관리하고 망의 수명을 개선 할 수 있는 방법을 제안 한다. 이러한 센서 노드의 균형적인 베터리 소비로 무선센서 네트워크의 수명을 개선 한다. 실험결과 기존의 LEACH 프로토콜보다 우수한 성능을 보인다.

Various wireless sensor network protocols have been proposed to maintain the network for a long time by minimizing energy consumption. Using the K-means clustering algorithm takes longer to cluster than traditional hierarchical algorithms because the center point must be moved repeatedly until the final cluster is established. For K-means clustering-based protocols, only the residual energy of nodes or nodes near the center point of the cluster is considered when the cluster head is elected. In this paper, we propose a new wireless sensor network protocol based on K-means clustering to improve the energy efficiency while improving the aforementioned problems.

Previous research on sensor networks mainly focused on efficient transmission of data from sensors to fixed sink nodes. Recently there has been active research on mobile sink nodes, but the re-search of an environment where both fixed sink nodes and mobile sinks are present at the same time is rather scarce. This paper proposes a technique for context gathering by mobile devices with the sink functionality added through fixed sinks under a previously built, cluster based multi hop sensor network environment. To this end, clustering of mobile devices were done based on the fixed sinks of a previously built sensor network, and by using appropriate fixed sinks, context gathering was made possible. By mathematical comparison with TTDD routing protocol, which was proposed for mobile sinks, it was conformed that performance increases in energy with the number of mobile sinks, and with the number of movements by mobile devices.

무선센서네트워크에서 센서 노드들은 정보를 수집 및 취합하기 위해 다양하게 사용되고 있다. 각 센서들은 베터리 전력을 사용하여 에너지 절약은 가장 중요한 이슈 중 하나다. 현재까지 에너지 소모가 가장 큰 장거리 통신 시 에너지 절약 및 분산제어가 용이한 클러스터링의 데이터 병합 관련 분야는 꾸준히 관심을 받아오고 있다. 최근 이를 기반으로 데이터 병합 시 생기는 딜레이를 최소화하고, 에너지 소비량 도 고려한 다양한 알고리즘들이 제안되었다. 하지만 토폴로지 형성 시 데이터 병합 딜레이와 에너지 효율을 동시에 최적화하는 상황에서 장거리 노드 간 링크 생성 문제는 여전히 해결되지 않고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 노드 간 링크를 재구축하여 트리의 구조유지하면서 링크들의 길이를 줄일 수 있는 트리 재구축 알고리즘을 제안한다.

Wireless sensor networks consist of numerous nodes equipped with small-sized and limited calculation capacities and storage space as well as low-capacity batteries. Therefore, the key issue is to reduce energy consumption of sensor nodes in sensor network environment. To reduce energy consumption of sensor nodes, consideration must be given to decreasing frequency of messages transmitted by nodes. Also, considering network application, security of sensor networks is also considered important. Therefore, this study proposes a key distribution scheme in dynamic clustering model. The dynamic clustering model used for this scheme is very effective in extending life span of wireless sensor networks. The proposed scheme provides improved security compared to the existing key distribution scheme by applying grid-based key distribution scheme and allocating polynomial s hare to the nodes forming a cluster. Also, comparison was made with the previously proposed grid-based, location-based and cluster-based key distribution schemes to illustrate the advantages of the proposed scheme.

As WSN is energy constraint so energy efficiency of nodes is important. Because avoiding long distance communication, clustering operating in rounds is an efficient algorithm for prolonging the lifetime of WSN and its performance depends on duration of a round. A short round time leads to frequent re-clustering while a long round time increases energy consume of cluster heads more. So existing clustering schemes determine proper round time, based on the parameters of initial WSN. But it is not appropriate to apply the round time according to initial value throughout the whole network time because WSN is very dynamic networks nodes can be added or vanished. In this paper we propose a new algorithm which calculates the round time relying on the alive node number to adapt the dynamic WSN. Simulation results validate the proposed algorithm has better performance in terms of energy consumption of nodes and loss rate of data.
