In clustered sensor networks, since a CH (Cluster Head) collects data from its members and delivers the collected data to the sink, it is very important to prevent compromised nodes from joining a CH election and manipulating and fabricating the election result. In order to protect CH elections from compromised nodes, unpredictability, non-manipulability, and agreement property should be guaranteed in CH elections. However, existing CH election schemes cannot prevent intelligent compromised nodes from skilfully violating those properties via their cooperation. In this paper, we propose a scheme which protects the CH election process by detecting intelligent compromised nodes and excluding them. For every CH election round, each member gives a direct trust value to other members according to their behavior. Then a real reputation value is given to each member by combining the direct trust value and indirect trust values provided by other members. Then, each node evaluates the real reputation values of members in its cluster and excludes some untrustable nodes from CH candidates. The scheme greatly improves the non-manipulability and agreement property of CH election results compared to other rival schemes. Furthermore, the scheme preserves the high non-manipulability and the high agreement property even in an environment where message losses can happen.

Traditional cluster-based routing method is a representative method for increasing the energy efficiencies. In these cluster-based routing methods, the selected cluster head collect/aggregate the information and send the aggregated information to the base station. But they have to solve the unnecessary energy dissipation of frequent information exchange between the cluster head and whole member nodes in cluster. In this paper, we minimize the frequency of the information exchange for reducing the unnecessary transmit/receive frequencies as calculate the overlapped area or number of overlapped member nodes between the selected cluster head and previous cluster head in the setup phase. So, we propose the modified cluster selection protocol method that optimizes the energy dissipation in the setup phase and reuses the saved energy in the steady-state phase efficiently that prolongs the whole wireless sensor network lifetime by uniformly selecting the cluster head.

모바일 에드 혹 네트워크(Mobile Ad hoc Network)는 이동성을 가진 노드로 구성된 네트워크로서, 통신기반 시설의 지원이 없어도 스스로 통신망을 구축하여 통신한다. 하지만 노드의 이동성으로 인한 토폴로지의 변화가 빈번하여, 라우팅 경로 재설정으로 인한 오버헤드가 생성된다. 오버헤드 생성을 줄이기 위하여 클러스터링을 이용한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 클러스터가 형성된 MANET에서 클러스터 헤드 노드가 이동함에 따라 클러스터 영역을 벗어나게 되었을 경우, 클러스터 그룹에 속하는 멤버 노드들은 패킷을 보내지 못하며, 클러스터 헤드노드를 선출하지 못하여 사용할 수 없는 노드가 된다. 본 논문에서는 클러스터 헤드 노드가 클러스터 영역을 벗어날 경우, 클러스터 멤버노드의 상황인자 속성 벡터 정보가 유사한 클러스터 헤드노드를 이웃한 주변 클러스터 헤드로부터 검색 및 선택하여, 우회경로를 제공하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘에서 각 노드는 상황정보 매트릭스를 가지고 있어, 전송 커버리지 영역이 2홉 이내 반경에 있는 노드의 벡터 정보를 저장하게 된다. 클러스터 헤드 노드와의 연결이 끊어 졌을 경우, 클러스터 멤버 노드는 상황정보 매트릭스를 이용하여, 벡터정보가 유사한 클러스터 헤드 노드를 선택하여, 노드 간의 연결성 및 패킷의 전달성이 향상 된다.

Ad Hoc 망은 고정된 네트워크 기반이 없는 동적인 호스트들로 구성된 네트워크이다. 호스트가 네트워크를 연결하기 위해 이웃 노드에 의존적이다. 그래서 네트워크의 보안 사항에 있어서 전통적인 네트워크에서 사용한 보안기법을 그대로 적용하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 Ad Hoc 망에서의 특징에 근거하여 여러 동적인 노드들을 클러스터로 묶어서 클러스터 헤드가 멤버 노드들의 정보를 관리하는 가운데 한 클러스터 멤버가 다른 클러스터에 접속을 할 때 카 클러스터 헤드 사이에 멤버 인증서 교환을 위한 공개키 기반 인증 프로토콜을 제안한다.

Mobile ad hoc network(MANET) consists of node that has mobility. MANET has increased overhead that caused by frequent topology changes. For reducing overhead, hierarchical network that communicates through cluster head node has been researched. When traffic is concentrated on cluster head node, cluster member node can't send message. To solve this problem, we proposed Step Parent algorithm. Proposed algorithm, cluster member node checks traffic of cluster head node using route path of other cluster head node in efficient coverage area. When cluster head node has increased traffic, cluster member node make a new route path by route path by routing path to another cluster head node. So cluster member node sends a message to destination node, we check improving delivery ratio.

And besides, we consider the direction of super cluster head for optimal cluster formation.

In MANET, the frequent movement of nodes causes the dynamic network topology changes. Therefore, it is required that the routing protocol should be very stable to effectively respond the changes of the network changes. Moreover, the existing cluster-based routing protocol, that is the hybrid approach, has routing delay due to the re-electing of the cluster header. In addition, the routing table of CBRP has all only one hop distant neighbor nodes. PCBRP, proposed in this paper, ties two clusters in one paired cluster to make longer radius. Then the headers of the paired cluster manage and operate corresponding member nodes. In the current CBRP, when the cluster header leaves out the cluster, the delay, due to the re-electing a header, should be occurred. However, in PCBRP, another cluster header of the paired cluster plays the role instead of the left cluster header. This method reduces the routing delay. Concurrently, PCBRP reduces the delay when they route nodes in the paired cluster internally.

The existing ad hoc network protocols suffer the scalability problem due to the inherent characteristics of node mobility. Cluster-based routing protocols divide the member nodes into a set of clusters and perform a hierarchical routing between these clusters. This hierarchical feature help to improve the scalability of ad hoc network routing. However, previous k-hop cluster-based routing protocols face another problems, that is, control overhead of the cluster headers. This paper proposes a novel k-hop cluster-based routing scheme with delegation functions for mobile ad hoc networks. The scheme employs is based on tree topology to manage cluster members in effectively. The cluster headers do not manage the routing table for whole members, while the header keeps the routing table for its neighbor members and the member list for one hop over nodes within k-hop cluster. Then the in-between leveled nodes manage the nested nodes which is structured in the lower level. Therefore, the proposed mechanism can reduce some control overhead of the cluster leaders.

LEACH, one of hierarchical based routing protocols, was proposed for energy efficiency which is the most important requirement of Wireless Sensor Network(WSN). LEACH protocol is composed of a cluster of certain large number of clusters, which have a cluster head and member nodes. Member nodes send sensing data to their cluster heads, and the cluster heads aggregate the sensing data and transmit it to BS. The challenges of LEACH protocol are that cluster heads are not evenly distributed, and energy consumption to transmit aggregated data from Cluster heads directly to BS is excessive. This study, to improve LEACH protocol, suggests LECEEP that transmit data to contiguity cluster head that is the nearest and not far away BS forming chain between cluster head, and then the nearest cluster head from BS transmit aggregated data finally to BS. According to simulation, LECEEP consumes less energy and retains more number of survival node than LEACH protocol.
