Wireless sensor network supporting healthcare environment should provide customized service in accordance with context information such as continuous location change and status information for people or movable object. In addition, we should consider data transmission guarantees a person's bio information and privacy security provided through sensor network. In this paper analyzes LEACH protocol which guarantees the dynamic self-configuration, energy efficiency through configuration of inter-node hierarchical cluster between nodes and key distribution protocol used for security for data transmission between nodes. Based on this analysis result, we suggested self-configuration routing protocol supporting node mobility which is weakness of the existing LEACH protocol and data transmission method by applying key-pool pre-distribution method whose memory consumption is low, cluster unit public key method to sensor node.

The general sensor network uses bundle method to collect fixed information from sensor node. However, this method is difficult to actively cope with major sensing objects in healthcare environment including status and position change of person and change of surrounding environment. In order to support the healthcare environment, certain information should be provided in accordance with the change of status of person and surrounding circumstance and also must cope with the change of network type by movement of person. This paper analyzes LEACH protocol which guarantees effectiveness of network as it constitutes clusters between Agilla model that is a representative multi agent middle ware and surrounding nodes. Based on the result of this analysis, it suggests LEACH_Mobile protocol which guarantees node mobility that is the weakest point of LEACH protocol. Moreover, it designs mobility agent middleware which supports dynamic function change of node and mobility agent module which supports dynamic function change of mobile node as components of LEACH_Mobile routing module. In addition, it is definitely increase performance which in mobile node of transfer data rate through LEACH_Mobile protocol of simulation result.

Data dissemination schemes for wireless sensor networks, where sinks and event targets might be mobile, has been one of the active research fields. For doing that, stationary nodes gathered data on behalf of mobile sinks and the relayed data in previous studies. their schemes, however, lead to frequent query flooding and report congestion problems over sink moving. We propose a data dissemination protocol to solve both the query flooding and the report congestion problem. Our scheme improves the two shortcomings through sink location management. Finally, we prove effectiveness of our protocol through computer simulations.

In traditional routing protocols including LEACH for wireless sensor networks, nodes suffer from unbalanced energy consumption because the nodes require large transmission energy as the distance to the sink node increase. Multi-hop based routing protocols have been studied to address this problem. In existing protocols, each cluster head usually chooses the closest head as a relay node. We propose LEACH-CHT, in which cluster heads choose the path with least energy consumption to send data to the sink node. In our research, each hop, a cluster head selects the least cost path to the sink node. This method solves the looping problem efficiently as well as make it possible that a cluster head excludes other cluster heads placed farther than its location from the path, without additional energy consumption. By balancing the energy consumption among the nodes, our proposed scheme outperforms existing multi-hop schemes by up to 36% in terms of average network lifetime.

In this paper we propose an improved energy aware greedy perimeter stateless routing protocol (EAGPSR) for wireless ad hoc network. The existing greedy perimeter stateless routine (GPSR) has some problems with overloaded node and void situation. The improved EAGPSR protocol is proposed to remedy these problems. It also gives the solution for the fundamental problem in geographical routine called void communication. It considers two parameters (Residual Energy of battery and distance to the destination) for the next hop selection. In order to use efficiently limited-energy of node in wireless ad hoc network, network lifetime is focused. To evaluate the performance of our protocol we simulated EAGPSR in ns-2. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol achieves longer network lifetime compared with greedy perimeter stateless routing (GPSR) and the existing Energy aware greedy perimeter stateless routing protocol (EAGPSR).

Wireless sensor network technologies applicable to various industrial fields are rapidly growing. Because it is difficult to change a battery for the once distributed wireless sensor network, energy efficient design is very critical. In order to achieve this purpose in network design, a number of studies have been examining the energy efficient routing protocol. The sensor network consumes energy in proportion to the distance of data transmission and the data to send. Cluster-based routing Protocols such as LEACH-C achieve energy efficiency through minimizing the distance of data transmission. In LEACH-C, however, the total distance between the nodes consisting the clusters are considered important in constructing clustering. This paper examines the cluster-head-selection-algorithm that reflect the distance between the base station and the cluster-head having a big influence on energy consumption. The Proposed method in this paper brought the result that the performance improved average $4{\sim}7%$ when LEACH-C and the base station are located beyond a certain distance. This result showed that the distance between cluster-head and the base station had a substantial influence on lifetime performance in the cluster-based routing protocol.

One of the most important VANET applications is providing active safety by broadcasting emergency messages. In order to prevent broadcast storm of flooding-based broadcasting scheme in which any node receiving message will rebroadcast, the existing protocols use the different methods to limit the number of relay nodes. Nevertheless, the existing protocols have low delivery ratio with high traffic density and cause message overhead. Currently, the dramatic increase in the number of vehicles equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) and onboard radar created new application scenarios that were not feasible before. Consequently, we proposed a broadcasting protocol that selects relay node by using GPS-based position information and detecting neighboring vehicles with the help of onboard radar to. Simulation results show that our proposed protocol has better performance than the existing schemes.

센서 망에서 비어 있는 공간(홀)은 현실의 다양한 지리적인 환경 때문에 회피하는 것이 쉽지 않다. 일반적으로 데이터 패킷이 홀 경계에 마주쳤을 경우, 목적지까지의 다른 길을 찾기 위해 라이트 핸드 법칙(right hand rule) 또는 푸쉬드 백(pushed back)을 이용하여 홀 경계를 따라 패킷을 전달한다. 한편, 라이트 핸드 룰은 홀 경계에 있는 노드들의 에너지를 더 많이 소모하므로 홀이 확장될 것이다. 또한 동시에 여러 통신 세션이 같은 홀의 경계를 공유한다면 데이터 충돌을 초래할 것이다. 이 논문에서 우리는 무선센서 망에서의 홀 문제를 해결하기 위해 라우팅 홀 우회 방안을 제안한다. 우리의 라우팅 홀 우회 방안은 두 가지 목표를 갖는다: 하나는 데이터 패킷이 홀의 경계를 따라 이동하는 것을 방지하는 것이고, 다른 하나는 로컬 미니멈(local minimum) 문제를 피하는 것이다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 우리의 방안이 다른 프로토콜들에 비해 제어 부하와 에너지 소비 면에서 우수하다는 것을 보여준다.

In this paper, we intend to improve the network lifetime by improving the energy efficiency of sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network by utilizing machine learning using K-means clustering algorithm. A wireless sensor network is a wireless network composed of physical devices including batteries as physical sensors. Due to the characteristics of sensor nodes, all resources must be efficiently used to minimize energy consumption to maximize network lifetime. A cluster based approach is used to manage groups of relatively large numbers of nodes. In the proposed protocol, by improving the existing LEACH algorithm, we propose a clustering algorithm that selects a cluster head using a cluster based approach and a location based approach. The performance results to be improved were measured using Matlab simulation. Through the experimental results, K-means clustering was applied to the energy efficiency part. By utilizing K-means, it is confirmed that energy efficiency is improved and the lifetime of the entire network is extended.

Recently P2P (Peer-to-Peer) networks and applications have been expanded to various field. However, because the construction of P2P network did not influence a underlying network topology or property, it may be inefficient. Especially, this inefficiency is more serious in MANET because MANET has narrow bandwidth and energy constraint. When we use a proactive routing protocol in MANET, we can know hop counts between two nodes. And, we can construct a P2P overlay network using this hop count information. However, In case of using hop count only, we can avoid a interference path selection problem and a zig-zag problem. We propose a method of improving P2P contents distribution using virtual positions. We calculate virtual positions from hop counts using the trigonometry. This method solves a interference path selection problem and a zig-zag problem. This method also allows a P2P network to influence underlying network topology. We adopt this method to a network which uses a virtual geographic routing, a proactive routing protocol, or a reactive routing protocol. We show that our proposed methods improve P2P contents distribution performance over MANET through a simulation.
