Hybrid ad hoc networks are integrated networks referred to Home Networks, Telematics and Sensor networks can offer various services. Specially, in ad hoc network where each node is responsible for forwarding neighbor nodes' data packets, it should net only reduce the overall energy consumption but also balance individual battery power. Unbalanced energy usage will result in earlier node failure in overloaded nodes. it leads to network partitioning and reduces network lifetime. Therefore, this paper studied the routing protocol considering efficiency of energy. The suggested algorithm can predict the status of energy in each node using the energy prediction model. This can reduce the overload of establishing route path and balance individual battery power. The suggested algorithm can reduce power consumption as well as increase network lifetime.

Recently, wireless sensor networks(WSNs) technology has been considered as one of the most critical issues in the ubiquitous computing age. The sensor nodes have limited battery power, so they should consume low energy through their operation for the long-lasting lifetime. Therefore, it is essential to use energy efficient routing protocol. For this, we propose a location-based energy-efficient routing protocol which constructs the energy efficient route by considering the quantity of Energy consumed. In addition, we propose a route reconstruction algorithm to handle the disconnection of message transmission. Finally, we show from performance analysis using TOSSIM that our protocol outperforms the existing location based routing protocols in terms of energy efficiency.

In wireless sensor networks, geographic routing is known as an efficient method to transmit the data packet using the location information. Geographic routing relies on two techniques: greedy forwarding and face routing. Face routing helps to recover from greedy routing fail and is based on the planar graph in which does not cross each edge. However, the planarization causes frequently short transmission of data packet because it removes other edges except the shortest one. In other words, since the planarization removes the long edges, face routing could not exploit the efficient removed edges of communication graph. This problem brings about the excessive energy consumption of nodes. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient face routing protocol in wireless sensor networks. This proposed protocol searches the removed edges and transmits them via the edges. Simulation shows that the proposed protocol is more efficient in terms of energy consumption than the previous face routing.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 각 센서 노드들은 에너지가 제한되기 때문에 에너지 소비는 중요한 이슈다. 센서 네트워크에서 최단경로를 찾거나 이웃들의 에너지 정보를 알기 위한 주기적인 제어 메시지의 교환은 불필요하게 에너지를 소모하게 만든다. 본 논문에서는 불필요한 전송과 오버헤더를 줄이기 위해 제어 메시지의 교환 없이 에너지를 고려한 효율적 라우팅 기법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 별도의 제어 메시지 교환이 없을 때 에너지가 더 절약되었다.

Ad Hoc 네트웍은 유선 기반망을 배제한 완전한 모바일 네트웍이다. 이동성이 큰 Ad Hoc 네트웍 안에서는 주기적으로 라우팅 패킷을 전송함으로써 네트웍의 성능을 저하시킬 수 있다 네트웍의 오버헤드를 줄이고 노드 에너지 보존을 위해서 주로 소스 기반의 요구 기반 라우팅 기법이 사용되는데, 기존의 기법은 모든 노드의 자원과 능력을 동일시하여 경로 설정이 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 노드들의 에너지와 전파 전송 범위가 서로 다른 점에 착안하여 요구 기반 라우팅에서 서로 다른 데이터 전송 범위를 갖는 노드를 설정하였다. 노드의 정지 시간과 전파 전송 범위를 달리하여 시뮬레이션한 결과 기존의 요구 기반 라우팅 방법에 비해 현저히 라우팅 패킷의 수를 줄여 데이터 패킷 전송률을 높이고 네트웍의 오버헤드를 줄일 수 있었다.

Recent researches on radio frequency energy harvesting networks(RF-EHNs) with limited energy resource like battery have been focusing on the development of a new scheme that can effectively extend the whole lifetime of a network to semipermanent. In order for considerable increase both in the amount of energy obtained from radio frequency energy harvesting and its charging effectiveness, it is very important to design a network that supports energy harvesting and data transfer simultaneously with the full consideration of various characteristics affecting the performance of a RF-EHN. In this paper, we proposes an interference-based charging aware routing protocol(ICARP) that utilizes interference information and charging time to maximize the amount of energy harvesting and to minimize the end-to-end delay from a source to the given destination node. To accomplish the research objectives, this paper gives a design of ICARP adopting new network metrics such as interference information and charging time to minimize end-to-end delay in energy harvesting wireless networks. The proposed method enables a RF-EHN to reduce the number of packet losses and retransmissions significantly for better energy consumption. Finally, simulation results show that the network performance in the aspects of packet transmission rate and end-to-end delay has enhanced with the comparison of existing routing protocols.

Ad-Hoc 네트워크에서 기존의 On-Demand 방식의 라우팅 프로토콜은 네트워크에서 현재 사용 중인 경로가 혼잡하어라도 네트워크 토폴로지가 변하기 이전에는 새로운 경로를 찾지 못하므로 노드의 이동성이 낮은 환경에서는 트래픽이 특정노드로 집중되는 문제가 발생한다 또한 노드들의 이동성이 낮아 네트워크가 안정된 상태인 경우 특정 노드의 트래픽이 고려되지 않은 상태에서 최단 경로만을 선택하여 데이터를 전송하기 때문에 특정노드에 트래픽이 집중되어 전송지연 및 과도한 에너지 소비를 발생시킨다는 문제점을 갖는다. 이런 특정 노드의 과도한 에너지 소비를 차단하여 전체 네트워크의 수명을 연장시키기 위한 효과적인 방법을 찾기 위한 노력이 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 기존의 DSR에 에너지 소비율을 기반으로 경로설정 및 대체경로 설정기능을 추가한 ECLB(Energy Consumption based Load Balancing Method)를 제안한다. ECLB는 현재의 단위시간당 처리되는 패킷수와 과거의 평균 패킷처리율을 바탕으로 에너지 임계치(energy threshold)를 설정하고 이를 바탕으로 최적의 경로를 설정한다. 또한 계속적으로 동일 전송 경로를 사용함으로 인한 특정노드에 대한 에너지 소모의 심화와 전송지연을 최소화하기 위해 과중한 트래픽 상태를 분산시킬 수 있는 대체경로를 이용하여 데이터 집중에 따른 손실을 최소화시킨다.

In this paper we investigate the benefits of a data aggregation to prolong the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. To reduce the overload of messages from source node to sink node, data aggregation technique is generally used at intermediate node in path. The DD-G(Directed Diffusion-Greedy) can diminish the consumption of node energy by establishing energy effective single path from source to destination. In this case, the nodes near sink node have some problems, i) overly concentration of energy consumption, ii) increase of message delay time. To solve these problems, we propose a new data aggregation method which consider distribution of network overload, especially at the nodes close to sink node. The result shows that it can save energy and network delay time.

In recent years, wireless sensor networks(WSNs) have emerged as a new fast-growing application domain for wireless distributed computing and embedded systems. Recent Progress in computer and communication technology has made it possible to organize wireless sensor networks composed tiny sensor nodes. Furthermore, ad-hoc network protocols do not consider the characteristics of wireless sensor nodes, making existing ad-hoc network protocols unsuitable for the wireless sensor networks. First, we propose power-aware routing protocols based on energy-centered routing metrics. Second, we describe power management techniques for wireless sensor nodes using the spatial locality of sensed data. Many nodes can go into a power-down mode without sacrificing the accuracy of sensed data. Finally, combining the proposed techniques, we describe an overall energy-efficient protocol for data collection. Experimental results show that the proposed routing protocol can extend the routing path lifetime more than twice. The average energy consumption per sensing period is reduced by up to 30%.

This paper proposes efficient routing scheme named MP-DD(MultiPath-Direct Diffusion) which is simple enough to be applicable to the wireless sensor networks. Conventional DD uses only one optimal path, therefore it consumes more energy of specific nodes. MP-DD uses multiple path and has a information of hop upstream node in the direction of the base-station is determined which are obtainable via the process of self-organization of the network. Simulation results show the feasibility of the simple routing schemes for the sensor networks.
