본 논문은 무선 센서 네트워크의 에너지 효율적인 운영을 위해 무선 센서 네트워크 환경에 적합한 클러스터 헤드 선출 메커니즘을 제안한다. LEACH 와 같은 기존의 확률 모델 기반의 클러스터 헤드 선출 메커니즘들은 각 라운드마다 클러스터 헤드로 선출될 확률과 라운드 횟수 등을 바탕으로 클러스터 헤드를 선출한다. 그러나 이와 같은 방법은 각 노드의 상황을 고려하지 않아 네트워크의 수명을 단축시킬 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 각 센서 노드의 에너지 및 노드 분포 상황을 고려하여 클러스터 헤드를 선출해야 한다. 하지만 실제 무선 센서 네트워크 환경에서는 클러스터 헤드 선출을 위해 정확한 정보를 수집하고 이를 계산하는데 있어 큰 오버헤드가 발생하는 문제점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 정보 수집 및 계산에 있어서 오버헤드를 줄이고 네트워크의 수명을 극대화하기 위하여 퍼지 논리를 이용한 퍼지 논리 기반의 클러스터 헤드 선출 메커니즘을 제안한다. Matlab 을 통한 시뮬레이션 결과 LEACH 에 비해 퍼지 논리 기반의 클러스터 헤드 선출 메커니즘을 이용했을 경우 네트워크 수명이 약 16.3% 향상되었다.

Clustering protocol of Wireless sensor networks(WSNs) can not only reduce the volume of inter-node communication by the nodes's data aggregation but also extend the nodes's sleep times by cluster head's TDMA-schedule coordination. In order to extend the network lifetime of WSNs, we propose CHS algorithm to select cluster-head using three variables. It consists of initial and current energy of nodes, round information, and total numbers which have been selected as cluster head until current round.

클러스터 기반 라우팅 방법에서 클러스터 헤드에 고장이 발생하면, 전달되지 못하는 센서 데이터가 존재한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 각 클러스터마다 백업 클러스터 헤드를 지정함으로써 원래의 클러스터 헤드에 고장이 발생했을 때 백업 클러스터 헤드가 그 역할을 대신하도록 하는 방법이 연구되고 있다. 백업 클러스터 헤드를 이용한 방법에서는 어떤 노드를 백업 클러스터 헤드로 선출하느냐에 따라 무선센서네트워크의 성능이 좌우된다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 무선센서네트워크의 에너지 효율성을 높이기 위해 퍼지를 이용하여 각 클러스터의 백업 클러스터 헤드를 선출하는 방법을 제안한다.

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.

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.

In the Cluster-Based Routing Protocol (CBRP), a cluster header in each cluster is selected. 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 selects a cluster header without considering the remaining energy of each node. So, there exists problems that the cluster header has short average lifetime, and another cluster header should be selected frequently. In this paper, we propose the advanced protocol which prolongs the lifetime of 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 energies of all of nodes are compared with one another, and the node with the highest energy is selected as the cluster header.

수많은 센서들로 이루어진 센서 네트워크에서는 노드의 제한된 에너지로 인해, 에너지 효율적 사용이 중요한 이슈이다. 따라서 에너지 효율적인 라우팅을 위하여 많은 알고리즘이 연구되고 있다. 이들 알고리즘들 중 클러스터링 기법은 센서 노드가 싱크와 직접 통신하는 방법이 아닌 클러스터 헤드로 선출된 노드와 통신하여 클러스터 헤드가 센싱된 정보를 모아 싱크에 보냄으로써 에너지 소비를 줄이게 된다. 이 기법은 클러스터 헤드 선정이 무엇보다도 중요한 이슈이다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 잔존 에너지의 양과 노드의 상대적 위치에 따라 클러스터 헤드를 선출함으로써 에너지 효율을 최적화 시킬 수 있는 기법을 제안한다.

And besides, we consider the direction of super cluster head for optimal cluster formation. So, we propose the modified cluster selection scheme that optimizes the energy dissipation in the setup phase and reuses the saved energy in the steady phase efficiently that prolongs the whole wireless sensor network lifetime by uniformly selecting the cluster head.

In WSN, at the initial stage, sensor nodes are randomly deployed over the region of interest, and self-configure the clustered networks by grouping a bunch of sensor nodes and selecting a cluster header among them. Specially, in WSN environment, in which the administrator's intervention is restricted, the self-configuration capability is essential to establish a power-conservative WSN which provides broad sensing coverage and communication coverage. In this paper, we propose a communication coverage-aware cluster head election algorithm for Herearchical WSNs which consists of communication coverage-aware of the Base station is the cluster head node is elected and a clustering.
