The most important factor within the wireless sensor network is to have effective network usage and increase the lifetime of the individual nodes in order to operate the wireless network more efficiently. Therefore, many routing protocols have been developed. The LEACH protocol presented by Wendi Heinzelman, especially well known as a simple and efficient clustering based routing protocol. However, because LEACH protocol in an irregular network is the total data throughput efficiency dropped, the stability of the cluster is declined. Therefore, to increase the stability of the cluster head, in this paper, it proposes a stochastic cluster head selection method for improving the LEACH protocol. To this end, it proposes a SH-LEACH(Stochastic Cluster Head Selection Method-LEACH) that it is combined to the HEED and LEACH protocol and the proposed algorithm is verified through the simulation.

Geocasting is a form of communication that transmits messages to all nodes within a given geographical region(i.e., the geocasting region). Most of conventional onery aware protocols were based on shortest-hop routing that is, they minimized the cost in terms of the distance and total transmission energy not considering both the residual energy at each node and the link error ratio when selecting the routes for communication. In this paper we propose a MLRG(Maximum Lifetime Reliable Geocast) protocol for energy-efficient and reliable geocasting in Ad-hoc networks. The proposed MLRG, a position-based and routing-based geocasting algorithm, maximizes the network lifetime using newly defined cost function and selecting the energy balanced routes on the basis of each node's residual energy, and provides a reliable communication considering the link error ratio.

A clustering problem is one of the organizational problems to improve the network lifetime and scalability in wireless ad-hoc networks. This problem is a difficult combinatorial optimization problem associated with the design and operation of these networks. In this paper, we propose an efficient clustering algorithm to maximize the network lifetime and consider scalability in wireless ad-hoc networks. The clustering problem is known to be NP-hard. We thus solve the problem by using optimization approaches that are able to efficiently obtain high quality solutions within a reasonable time for a large size network. The proposed algorithm selects clusterheads and configures clusters by considering both nodes' power and the clustering cost. We evaluate this performance through some experiments in terms of nodes' transmission energy. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm performs much better than the existing algorithms.

무선 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 각 센서 노드들은 한정된 전력의 배터리로 동작하므로, 센서 네트워크에서의 에너지 효율성은 중요한 이슈이다. 따라서, 센서 노드의 에너지 소모를 줄여서 전체 네트워크 수명을 최대화하기 위해 MAC 계층에서의 다양한 프로토콜이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크의 에너지 효율성을 향상시키기 위한 에너지 효율적인 CA-MAC(Context Adaptive MAC) 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안된 CA-MAC 프로토콜은 데이터의 전송 여부를 결정하는 각 버퍼 임계값을 싱크와 노드의 거리에 따라 차등적으로 설정함으로써 노드의 에너지 소비를 감소시켜 전체 네트워크의 에너지 효율성을 크게 향상 시킨다. 또한, 전송 지연 시간을 감소시키기 위하여 센싱된 데이터의 긴급 여부에 따른 전송을 수행한다. 본 논문의 성능 평가는 OMNeT++을 이용한 모의실험을 통해 진행하였으며, 그 결과 기존에 제안되었던 S-MAC 및 T-MAC 프로토콜과 비교하여 제안된 기법이 데이터 전송 시간과 에너지 효율성을 향상시키고 네트워크 수명을 연장하였음을 확인하였다.

The development of wireless sensor networks (WSN) can be motivated by several types of applications. However, these applications demand an energy-efficient WSN that can prolong the network lifetime and can provide high throughput, low latency and delay. Designing wireless sensor networks with the capability of prolonging network lifetime catch the attention of many researchers in wireless system and network field. Contrasts with Mobile Ad Hoc Network system, Wireless Sensor Networks designs focused more on survivability of each node in the network instead of maximizing data throughput or minimizing end-to-end delay. In this paper, we will study part of data link layer in Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, called medium access control (MAC) layer. Since the MAC development of energy aware MAC Protocol for wireless sensor layer controls the physical radio part, it has a large impact on the overall energy consumption and the lifetime of a node. This paper proposes a analytical approach that tries to reduce idle energy consumption, and shows the increasement of network end-to-end arrival rate due to efficiency in energy consumption from time slot management.

It is very important to maximize the battery durability of mobile host in wireless ad-hoc network environments, because it extends the durability and Performance of the system. Since mobile hosts play a routing role, the network structure and the location of mobile hosts create a difference of energy consumption of mobile hosts. In this paper, each mobile host maintains energy tree and evaluates the amount of the energy of the neighboring mobile hosts by using message tree packet by periods. When mobile host sets up a routing path to send a packet, it selects the most proper path in order to consume energy effectively by using energy tree and breadth first search. In this paper, we suggest that, in wireless ad-hoc network environments, if each mobile host consumes balanced energy, mobile hosts of which energy capacity is limited can work as long as it can. Therefore, the durability and performance of the system can be extended.

Clustering algorithm is an essential element to implement a hierarchical routing protocol, especially for a large-scale wireless sensor network. In this paper, we propose a new type of energy-efficient clustering algorithm, which maximizes the physical distance between cluster head and gateway by a neighbor node discovery mechanism. Furthermore, a slave/master patching scheme is introduced as a useful means of further improving the energy-efficiency. It has been shown that the number of cluster heads can be reduced by as many as 21% as compared with the existing clustering algorithms.

The service life of civil infrastructure needs to be maintained or extended through appropriate inspections and maintenance planning, which results from the optimization process. A multi-objective optimization process can lead to more rational and flexible trade-off solutions rather than a single-objective optimization for the service life management of civil infrastructure. Recent investigations on the service life management of civil infrastructure were generally based on minimizing the life-cycle cost analysis and maximizing the structural performance. Various objectives for service life management have been developed using novel probabilistic concepts and methods over the last few decades. On the other hand, an increase in the number of objectives in a multi-objective optimization problem can lead to difficulties in computational efficiency, visualization, and decision making. These difficulties can be overcome using the objective reduction approach to identify the redundant and essential objectives. As a result, the efficiency in computational efforts, visualization, and decision making can be improved. In this paper, the multi-objective optimization using the objective reduction approach was applied to the service life management of concrete bridges. The results showed that four initial objectives can be reduced by two objectives for the optimal service life management.

This study aims to evaluate the stress and life of cylindrical roller bearings used in aircraft gearboxes, and to select a roller profile that minimises the contact stress between bearing rollers and raceways. The mounting clearance of four points contact ball bearing was determined, so that cylindrical roller bearings support all radial loads, and the bearing mounting position was determined to maximise the bearing lives. In addition, the static safety factor and dynamic life of bearing were predicted according to ISO 76 & ISO/TS 16281 using the load spectrum determined based on the operating load cases of aircraft gearboxes. Furthermore, the optimal roller profile was selected by analysing the contact stress according to the roller profile shape, and the safety of each roller was evaluated. The results stated that the required safety factor and lifetime were satisfied, and Johns Gohar roller profile was optimal.

This paper addresses the system lifetime maximization algorithm in multi-hop sensor network system. A multi-hop sensor network consists of many battery-driven sensor nodes that collaborate with each other to gather, process, and communicate information using wireless communications. As sensor-driven applications become increasingly integrated into our lives, we propose a energy-aware scheme where each sensor node transmits informative data with adaptive data rate to minimize system energy consumption. We show the optimal data rate to maximize the system lifetime in terms of remaining system energy. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm experimentally shows longer system lifetime in comparison with greedy algorithm.
