무선 센서 네트워크에서 클러스터링 기법은 데이터 병합을 통해 통신 대역폭 사용을 용이하게 하며, 센서 노드들간의 송수신 전력 소비를 줄일 수 있고, 노드 증가에 따른 네트워크 확장성이 용이하므로 현재 많은 연구가 되고 있다. 클러스터링 기법은 클러스터 헤더를 선출하는 것으로부터 시작된다. 기존의 클러스터 헤더 선출 기법들은 에너지 잔여량, 센서 노드의 위치, 센서 노드들의 평균 에너지 등을 클러스터 헤더 선출값으로 하여 클러스터 헤더를 선정한다. 그러나 이 기법들은 악의 적인 노드가 다른 노드의 클러스터 헤더 선출값을 변경하고, 자신의 클러스터 헤더 선출값을 증가시켜 클러스터 헤더가 될 수 있는 보안 취약점을 가지고 있다. 이와 같은 보안 취약점을 개선하기 위해 클러스터 헤더 선출값에 대한 무결성과 클러스터 헤더 선출값을 전송하는 노드의 인증이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 one-way key chain 기법을 사용하는 안전한 클러스터 헤더 선출 기법을 제안하고, 제안한 기법에 대한 안전성을 분석한다.

기존 센서네트워크 환경의 노드들이 모바일 환경으로 바뀌면서 클러스터를 구축하고 클러스터 헤더를 선정함에 있어 기존 방법은 정적 노드를 대상으로 구축되어 있기 때문에 이를 동적 노드에 적합한 방법으로 구축하기 위해 기존 연속적인 스카이라인 질의방법을 이용하여 클러스터를 구축하고 클러스터헤더를 선정함으로 센서네트워크의 효율적인 환경을 구축하고자 한다. 기존은 클러스터 헤드 선정을 클러스터를 구축하고 구축된 클러스터 내에서 에너지 잔여량을 비교 하여 가장 에너지가 많은 노드를 헤드로 선정하여 라우팅을 고려하는 기법을 사용하였다. 그러나 센서 노드가 모바일 노드일 경우 위치도 함께 고려되어야 할 속성 중 하나일 것이다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 클러스터 헤더 선정기법에서 기존 방식과 달리 클러스터 헤더를 선정하고 클러스터 헤더를 선정하고 클러스터 헤더를 기준으로 R hop 까지를 하나의 클러스터로 설정하는 효율적인 영역 결정 기법을 제안하였다.

LEACH(One of the leading algorithms in the field of WSN) for the life of the system, even by the number of all nodes to ensure that the cluster header. However, each round does not guarantee a certain number of cluster header. So sometimes cluster header is elected of small number or not elected. If cluster header number is to small, takes a heavy load on cluster header. And empty cluster is occur depending on the location of the cluster header. The algorithm proposed in this paper, the area of interest is divided into sectors. And randomly, cluster header be elected one the in each sector. When clustering the sensor nodes will belong to the nearest cluster header. So clustering is independent of the sector. This algorithm is guarantee a certain number of cluster header in each round. And has prevent occurrence of empty cluster.

In the Cluster-Based Routing Protocol (CBRP) a cluster header in each cluster should be elected. The cluster headers consume energy much more than other nodes because they manage and operate all of mobile nodes in their cluster. The traditional CBRP elects a cluster header without considering the remaining electric energy of each node. So, there exists problems that the cluster header has short average lifetime, and another cluster header should be elected again frequently. In this paper, we propose the improved protocol which prolongs the lifetime of the cluster header, decreases of header re-elected problem, decreases of header re-elected problem and enhances the stability of the path. In order to achieve this, when a cluster header is elected in a cluster, the remaining electric energies of all the nodes are compared with one another, and the node with the highest energy is elected as the cluster header. Also, the node with the second highest energy is elected as the second header. If the elected cluster header is unable to perform the role of the cluster header because the remaining energy level goes low, it sends a beacon message to neighbor member nodes and the second header will serve as the cluster header.

In the Cluster-Based Routing Protocol (CBRP) a cluster header in each cluster should be elected. The cluster headers consume energy much more than other member nodes do because they manage and operate all of mobile nodes in their cluster. The traditional CBRP elects a cluster header without considering the remaining electric energy of each node. So, there exist problems that the cluster header has short average lifetime, and a new cluster header should be elected again frequently. In this paper, we propose the improved protocol which prolongs the lifetime of the cluster header, decreases the problem of re-electing the cluster header and enhances the stability of the path. In order to achieve this, when a cluster header is elected in a cluster, the remaining electric energies of all the nodes are compared with one another, and the node with the highest energy is elected as the cluster header. Also, the node with the second highest energy is elected as the second header. If the elected cluster header is unable to perform the role of the cluster header any more because the remaining energy level goes low, it sends a beacon message to neighbor member nodes, then the second header will serve as the cluster header.

무선 센서 노드는 한정된 자원을 가지기 때문에 에너지 효율성을 높이는 것이 필수적이다. 이를 위해서 통신 메시지를 감소시킬 수 있는 클러스터 기반 라우팅 기법이 연구되었다. 하지만 기존 연구들은 클러스터 헤더가 임의로 선정되기 때문에 헤더 노드의 위치가 편중될 수 있어 비효율적이다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 홉(hop) 수 기반의 대표 경로를 생성하여, 분산된 클러스터 헤더를 선정하여 클러스터를 구성하고, 클러스터 헤더간 멀티 홉(multihop)을 구성하는 라우팅 프로토콜을 설계한다. 대표 경로를 통해 클러스터 헤더의 위치 및 영역이 균일하게 분포되도록 선출하고, 싱크 노드의 방향을 인식함으로써 우회하지 않는 효율적인 경로를 구성한다.

It is important to efficiently elect the cluster header in Hierarchical Sensor Network, because it largely effects on the life duration of the network. Therefore, a recent research is going forward a research activity with regard to life time extension of the whole network for efficient cluster header election. In this paper, we propose the new Cluster Header Election Scheme in which the cluster is divided into Group considering Distance from a Sink, and a cluster header will be elected by node density of the Group. Also, we evaluate the performance of this scheme, and show that this proposed scheme improves network lifetime in Zigbee environment.

A wireless sensor network communication technique has been broadly studied with continuous advances in ubiquitous computing environment. Especially, because the resource of the sensor node is limited, it is important to reduce the communication energy by using an energy-efficient routing protocol. The existing cluster-based routing protocols have a problem that they cannot select a cluster head efficiently by randomly choosing a head. In addition, because the existing cluster-based routing protocols do not support the large scale of network, they cannot be used for various applications. To solve the above problems, we, in this paper, propose a new cluster-based routing protocol using representative paths. The proposed protocol constructs an efficient cluster with distributed cluster heads by creating representative paths based on hop count. In addition, a new routing protocol supports multi-hop routing for data communication between a cluster member node and a cluster head as well as between cluster heads. Finally, we show that our protocol outperforms LEACH and Multihop-LEACH in terms of reliability and scalability.

In sensor network, cluster based routing protocol about efficient energy usage method has researched variously. But existing cluster based routing protocol have problems. one of the problem is sensor nodes's imbalance energy consumption problem at cluster reconstruction. anther is non- connection problem between header node and spc node when they are far from each other, not properly connected. We propose cluster re-division and header node of multihop transmission method in this paper. The cluster re-division method is the method that re-divides existing routing protocol with the small-scale cluster and multihop transmission method is the method regarding the relay transmission between the header nodes. Through the simulation, the proposed routing mechanism shows more excellent than exiting routing protocol in balance energy consumption and energy efficiency.
