This paper proposes a fault-tolerant data aggregation which provides energy efficient and reliable data collection in wireless sensor networks. The traditional aggregation scheme does not provide the countermeasure to packet loss or the countermeasure scheme requires a large amount of energy. The proposed scheme applies caching and re-transmission based on the track topology to the adaptive timeout scheduling. The proposed scheme uses a single-path routing based on the traditional tree topology at normal, which reduces the dissipated energy in sensor nodes without any countermeasure against packet loss. The proposed scheme, however, retransmits the lost packet using track topology under event occurrences in order to fulfill more accurate data aggregation. Extensive simulation work under various workloads has revealed that the proposed scheme decrease by 8% in terms of the dissipated energy and enhances data accuracy 41% when the potential of event occurrence exists as compared with TAG data aggregation. And the proposed scheme decrease by 53% in terms of the dissipated energy and shows a similar performance in data accuracy when the potential of event occurrence exists as compared with PERLA data aggregation.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 표적의 감시는 크게 표적의 탐지 및 추적과 표적의 식별로 나누어진다. 기존의 센서 노드에서의 신호 처리는 표적으로부터 수신된 신호의 에너지를 계산하여 표적의 존재 유무만을 기지국으로 전송하는 방법이 많이 사용되었다. 이런 기존의 방법은 표적의 감시를 위한 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 표적의 정보가 한정적이므로 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 표적의 감시를 위한 무선 센서 네트워크에서 필요한 시간정보와 표적의 주파수 정보를 포함하는 센서 노드에서의 특징 추출 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 변환을 이용하여 추출된 웨이블릿 상수에서 표적의 시간 정보와 잡음이 제거된 표적의 식별 정보를 추출함으로서 센서 노드에서 에너지 효율적인 신호처리를 구현하고 추출된 특징을 전송하여 통신에 소모되는 에너지를 줄이는 알고리듬을 제안한다.

In wireless sensor networks, data dissemination protocols have been proposed for mobile sink groups that are characterized by geographically staying closely and collective movement. They usually exploit flooding technology for mobility supporting and data delivery guarantee. However, it causes the excessive energy consumption of all sensor nodes in the group region due to data delivery participation. Moreover, the costs of the flooding would become higher in proportional to the group region. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient data dissemination scheme that resolves these problems. The virtual infrastructure called a 'pipe' is used as a rendezvous area. A source delivers data to the pipe, from which member sinks in the group retrieve it directly. Simulation results showed that this solution has better performance than existing protocols in terms of energy consumption as it reduces the number of regional flooding and eliminates unnecessary data flooding.

In an wireless sensor network, energy efficient routing protocol is important for multi-hop transmission because senor nodes are powered by battery. In multi-hop transmission, specifice nodes are used and the battery power becomes low, it induce the asymetric remaining power among the nodes and makes the network lifetime reduced. In this paper, we propose a power-aware routing protocol which determines the routing path considering the remaining power of the nodes. Simulation results shows that the proposed routing scheme minimize the transmission delay and increase the network lifetime.

멀티채널 무선센서네트워크에서 기존의 채널할당 방법들은 각 노드마다 다른 채널을 할당하는 방법을 채택하여 연구하였다. 이러한 경우 노드 간 전송 시에 채널을 수신 노드의 채널로 변경하고 다시 자신의 수신 채널로 변경이 필요하다. 채널 변경에는 에너지를 소모하기 때문에 이를 줄인다면 전송에 좀더 많은 에너지를 사용할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 하위 노드의 수를 이용하여 이를 기반으로 채널할당을 하고 성능평가를 통해 에너지소모량을 측정한다. 측정결과 기존 기법에 비해 약 12%의 성능 향상을 보였다.

Wireless sensor networks have many sensor nodes which response sudden events in a sensor fields. Some efficient routing protocol is required in a sensor networks with mobile sink node. A data-path template is offered for the data announcement and data request from source node and sink node respectively. Sensed data are transferred from source node to sink node using short-distance calculation. Typical protocols for the wireless networks with mobile sink are TTDD(Two-Tier Data Dissemination) and CBPER(Cluster-Based Power-Efficient Routing). The porposed SPDR(Short-Path Data Routing) protocol in this paper shows more improved energy efficiencies from the result of simulations than the typical protocols.

In the wireless sensor networks, power consumption and interference among the nodes can be reduced by using the transmission power control. Because link quality is changed by spatial and temporal effect, link failures are frequently occurred. In order to adapt to link quality variation, existing transmission power control schemes broadcast beacon messages periodically to neighbor nodes and control the transmission power dynamically. However, it can effect on the time and energy overhead according to period of transmission power control. In this paper, the dynamic method of transmission power control by the link quality variation and variable period are proposed. When a link quality is unstable, the control duty cycle is reduced and the link quality is agilely maintained. In contrast, when link quality is stable, the control period is increased and control overhead is decreased.

Clustering protocol that is used in wireless sensor network is an efficient method that extends the lifetime of the network. However, when this method is applied to an environment in which collected data of the sensor node easily overlap, sensor nodes unnecessarily consumes energy. In the case of clustering technique that uses a threshold, the lifetime of the network is extended but the degree of accuracy of collected data is low. Therefore it is hard to trust the data and improvement is needed. In addition, it is hard for the clustering protocol that uses multi-hop transmission to normally collect data because the selection of a cluster head node occurs at random and therefore the link of nodes is often disconnected. Accordingly this paper suggested a cluster-formation algorithm that reduces unnecessary energy consumption and that works with an alleviated link disconnection. According to the result of performance analysis, the suggested method lets the nodes consume less energy than the existing clustering method and the transmission efficiency is increased and the entire lifetime is prolonged by about 30%.

This paper addresses the collision resolution issue to enhance the performance of wireless sensor networks based on IEEE 802.15.4 slotted CSMA/CA. Some solutions in existing work try to solve this issue by adjusting Backoff Exponent (BE) value or Backoff Period (BP). In contrast to the existing solutions, the proposed scheme in this paper aims at providing high system throughput, but also achieving efficient energy consumption of sensor nodes by using Preamble Address (PA). For this, in the proposed scheme, only one sensor node begins data packet transmission by performing PA contention phase with other nodes before sending each data packet. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms existing algorithms in terms of energy consumption and throughput.
