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.

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.

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.

본 논문에서는 클러스터 기반의 계층적 무선 센서 네트워크에서 에너지 사용을 줄이기 위해서 클러스터 헤더를 선출할 때 에너지 소모량을 고려하여 선출하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 무선센서 네트워크의 크기나 위치 정보와 같은 전체적인 정보 없이 분산 환경을 기반으로 하고 있으며, 이전 클러스터 헤더가 에너지 잔류량과 현재 라운드에서의 에너지 소비량을 예측하여 다음 라운드의 클러스터 헤더를 선출한다. 실험결과 제안한 기법은 비교기법인 LEACH에 비하여 에너지 소모를 향상시켰고, 라운드마다 고른 에너지 소비량을 보였다.

Since sensor nodes have restriction of using resources in Zigbee network, number of study on improving efficiency is currently ongoing[1]. Clustering mechanism based on hierarchy structure provides a prevention of duplicated information and a facility of a network expansion[2]. however overheads can occurs when the cluster header is elected and the election of a incorrect cluster header causes to use resources inefficiently. In this paper, we propose that the cluster header election mechanism using distances between nodes and density of nodes in accordance with the operation of the central processing system in which the sync nodes are having information of location and energy with respect to general nodes based on hierachy clustering mechanism.

This paper is about to improve the network life's reduction due to the deviation of sensor node and frequently change of network, the main problem of sensor network. The existing Scalable Topology Organization(STO)-based ZigBee Tree Topology Control Algorithm did not consider ways to consume power so the network lifetime is too short. Accordingly, per each round, electing a new parent node and consisting of the new network topology technique, The Cluster Header Selection, extending the network's overall lifetime. The OMNet++ Simulator yielded results from the existing STO Algorithm and the proposed Cluster Header Selection Technique in the same experimental environment, which resulted in an increase in overall network life by about 40% and an improvement of about 10% in performance in the remaining portion of the battery.

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.

The study aims to propose the intelligent clustering technique that calculates the distance by improving the problems of multi-hop clustering technique for inter-vehicular secure communications. After calculating the distance between vehicles with no connection for rapid transit and clustering it, the connection between nodes is created through a set distance vale. Header is selected by the distance value between nodes that become the identical members, and the information within a group is transmitted to the member nodes. After selecting the header, when the header is separated due to its mobility, the urgent situation may occur. At this time, the information transfer is prepared to select the new cluster header and transmit it through using the intelligent cluster provided from node by the execution of programs included in packet. The study proposes the cluster technique of the intelligent distance estimation for the mobile Ad-hoc network that calculates the cluster with the Store-Compute-Forward method that adds computing ability to the existing Store-and-Forward routing scheme. The cluster technique of intelligent distance estimation for the mobile Ad-hoc network suggested in the study is the active and intelligent multi-hop cluster routing protocol to make secure communications.
