무선 센서 네트워크에서 노드는 배터리로 동작하지만 충전이나 교체가 어렵기 때문에 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 에너지 효율적인 통신 프로토콜 방법으로 클러스터링 기반 통신 구조를 사용한다. 그리고 에너지 소비 패턴을 균일하게 하기 위해 클러스터를 재구축한다. 대표적인 클러스터링 기반 통신 프로토콜로 LEACH 프로토콜이 있다. 그러나 CH 노드가 랜덤으로 선택되기 때문에, CH 노드들의 분포가 균일하지 못하거나 한곳에 몰려 있을 수 있고, CH 노드에서 싱크노드까지의 거리가 멀다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 LEACH 프로토콜의 단점을 해결하기 위한 알고리즘으로 CH 노드를 네트워크 전체에 균일하게 분포시키고 CH 노드에서 싱크노드까지 계층적으로 데이터를 전송하는 클러스터링 기법을 제안하였다.

In this paper, an energy efficient clustering scheme using self organization method is proposed. The proposed scheme selects a cluster head considering not only the number of neighbor nodes but also the residual battery amount. In addition, the network life time is extended by re-selecting the cluster heads only in case the current cluster head's residual energy falls down below a certain threshold level. Accordingly, the energy consumption is evenly distributed over the entire network nodes. The cluster head delivers the collected data from member nodes to a Sink node in a way of multi-hop relaying. In order to evaluate the proposed scheme, we run computer simulation in terms of the total residual amount of battery, the number of alive nodes after a certain amount of time, the accumulated energy cost for network configuration, and the deviation of energy consumption of all nodes, comparing with LEACH which is one of the most popular network clustering schemes. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme has twice network life-time of LEACH scheme and has much more evenly distributed energy consumption over the entire network.

Sensor nodes in Wireless sensor network have limited resources and consume almost all energy to the communication. For its traffic feature as a burst traffic type toward a sink node, it has high probability to network congestion. Network congestion causes packet drops and retransmission of dropped packets draws energy consumption. In particular, the loss of packet that is from the sensor node far away from a sink node requires additional energy consumption by frequent retransmission. This paper presents a traffic control mechanism that determines packet transfer by considering priority of packet and congestion level as well as hop count. Analysis of proposed mechanism by simulation demonstrated that it improved energy efficiency.

Recently, energy harvesting technology is considered as a tool to improve the lifetime of sensor networks by mitigating the battery capacity limitation problem. However, the previous work on energy harvesting has failed to provide practical information since it has assumed an ideal channel knowledge model with perfect channel state information at transmitter (CSIT). This paper proposes an energy efficient resource allocation scheme that takes account of the channel estimation process and the corresponding estimation error. Based on the optimization tools, we provide information on efficient scheduling and power allocation as the functions of channel estimation accuracy, harvested energy, and data rate. The simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional energy harvesting networks without considering channel estimation error in terms of energy efficiency. Furthermore, with taking account of channel estimation error, the results provides a new way for allocating resources and scheduling devices.

Recently Wi-Fi Alliance defined Wi-Fi direct, which can communicate through a direct connection between the mobile device anytime, anywhere. In Wi-Fi direct, all devices are categorized by group of owner (GO) and client. Since portability is emphasized in Wi-Fi direct devices, it is essential to control the energy consumption of a device very efficiently. In order to avoid unnecessary power consumed by GO, Wi-Fi direct standard defines two power management schemes: Opportunistic power saving scheme and Notice Of Absence (NOA) scheme. But, these two schemes do not consider the traffic pattern, so we cannot expect high energy efficiency. In this paper, we suggest an algorithm to enhance the energy efficiency of Wi-Fi direct power saving, considering the characteristics of multimedia video traffic. Proposed algorithm utilizes the statistical distribution for the size of video frames and adjusts the length of awake interval dynamically. Also, considering the inter-dependency among video frames, the proposed algorithm assigns priorities to video frames and ensures that a video frame with high priority is transmitted with higher probability than other frames with low priority. Simulation results shows that the proposed method outperforms the traditional NOA in terms with average delay and energy efficiency.

IoT technology that utilizes wireless body area networks (WBAN) and biosensors is an important field in the health industry to minimize resources and monitor patients. In order to integrate IoT and WBAN, a cooperative protocol that constitutes WBAN's limited sensor nodes and rapid routing for efficient data transmission is required. In this paper we propose an we propose an energy efficient and cooperative link energy-efficient routing strategy(LEERS) to solve the problems of redundant data transmission detection and limited network sensor lifetime extention. The proposed scheme considers the hop count node congestion level towards the residual energy sink and bandwidth and parameters. In addition, by determining the path cost function and providing effective multi-hop routing, it is shown that the existing method is improved in terms of residual energy and throughput

Wireless sensor networks are composed of a large number of sensor nodes with limited energy resources. One critical issue in wireless sensor networks is how to gather sensed information in an energy efficient way since the energy is limited. The clustering algorithm is a technique used to reduce energy consumption. It can improve the scalability and lifetime of wireless sensor network. In this paper, we introduce a clustering protocol with mode selection (CPMS) for wireless sensor networks. Our scheme improves the performance of BCDCP (Base Station Controlled Dynamic Clustering Protocol) and BIDRP (Base Station Initiated Dynamic Routing Protocol) routing protocol. In CPMS, the base station constructs clusters and makes the head node with highest residual energy send data to base station. Furthermore, we can save the energy of head nodes using modes selection method. The simulation results show that CPMS achieves longer lifetime and more data messages transmissions than current important clustering protocol in wireless sensor networks.

With the rapid increase of energy consumption and environmental problems, the need for green techniques is increasing. Network coding can provide a solution by reducing unnecessary data transmission and by estimating traffic patterns. In addition, it can amplify the synergy with the cognitive radio network (CR) since the CR has recognition and optimal decision functionalities. In this paper, we propose a network coding based green cognitive radio network. With the simulations, we show that the proposed scheme is up to 25% better than the previous work.

본 논문에서 제안하고 있는 RT-WISN(Real Time-Wireless Image Sensor Network)는 과거의 무선이미지 전송 기술에 비해 적은 전력을 소모하고 빠른 전송이 가능하게 하는 기술이다. 제안된 RT-WISN은 IEEE802.15.4 표준을 따르고 있으며, 현재 본 연구실에서 개발하고 있는 UoC(Ubiquitous on Chip) 메모리 구조를 응용하여 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하고 있는 RT-WISN은 전송하고자 하는 대상이 되는 영상정보의 움직임 변화를 영상 전송 임계값 값을 사용하여 데이터 전송 시기를 결정함으로써 기존의 시스템에 비해 노드의 에너지를 보다 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 기법 이다. 또한 본 논문에서는 제안된 전용 프로세서를 사용하여 보다 넓은 대역폭에서 필요한 영상 데이터를 효율적으로 전송할 수 있어 전송 시간 제어에 보다 용이함을 제공 한다. 무선센서 네트워크에서 이런 점들은 각 노드들의 생존 시간을 향상하게 되고, 고속의 전송이 가능하게 하는 장점으로 작용하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 Peer-to-Peer 상에서 실제 설계된 메모리 구조를 사용하여 이미지를 무선으로 전송하고 그 전송 시간과 도달률을 측정하여 RT-WISN이 무선 센서 네트워크에서의 검출된 영상 정보의 전송에 적합함을 보인다.
