In clustering-based approaches, cluster heads closer to the sink are usually burdened with much more relay traffic and thus, tend to die early. To address this problem, distance-aware clustering approaches, such as energy-efficient unequal clustering (EEUC), that adjust the cluster size according to the distance between the sink and each cluster head have been proposed. However, the network lifetime of such approaches is highly dependent on the distribution of the sensor nodes, because, in randomly distributed sensor networks, the approaches do not guarantee that the cluster energy consumption will be proportional to the cluster size. To address this problem, we propose a novel approach called CACD (Clustering Algorithm Considering node Distribution), which is not only distance-aware but also node density-aware approach. In CACD, clusters are allowed to have limited member nodes, which are determined by the distance between the sink and the cluster head. Simulation results show that CACD is 20%-50% more energy-efficient than previous work under various operational conditions considering the network lifetime.

본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크의 수명을 길게 하기 위해 각 센서 및 클러스터 헤드에서의 데이터 전송량을 줄이기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 즉, 센서의 에너지 소모를 줄이기 위해 계층적 필터링을 제안한다. 계층적 필터링이란 센서 네트워크를 두 계층으로 나누어 필터링하는 것이다. 1계층 필터링은 클러스터 멤버에서 클러스터 헤드로 데이터를 전송시 필터링을 수행하고, 2계층 필터링은 클러스터 헤드에서 기지국으로 데이터를 전송시 필터링을 수행한다. 이는 일반적으로 필터의 폭을 넓혀 필터링을 많이 하는 것보다 필터링 효율은 증대시키면서 필터링에 따른 데이터 부정확성을 최소한 줄이는 효과를 가진다.

현재 다양한 공격 대응을 위해 효과적이고 효율적인 방법으로 네트워크와 정보시스템의 취약성을 평가하는 일은 매우 중요하게 여겨지고 있다. 그러나 네트워크와 정보시스템의 취약성 및 위험 평가 방법론은 센서 네트워크에 직접 적용하기가 어렵다. 왜냐하면 센서 네트워크는 전통적인 네트워크와 정보시스템과 비교해 다른 특성을 지니고 있기 때문이다. 본 연구 논문은 클러스터 기반 센서 네트워크에서의 취약성 평가 프레임워크를 제안하고 있다. 센서 네트워크에서 취약성을 평가하며 몇 가지 케이스를 통해 클러스터 기반 센서 네트워크의 취약성 평가 프레임워크의 실효성을 증명해 보인다.

The advent of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has led to their use in numerous applications. Sensors are autonomous in nature and are constrained by limited resources. Designing an autonomous topology with criteria for economic and energy conservation is considered a major goal in WSN. The proposed honey-hive clustering consumes minimum energy and resources with minimal transmission delay compared to the existing approaches. The honey-hive approach consists of two phases. The first phase is an Intra-Cluster Min-Max Discrepancy (ICMMD) analysis, which is based on the local honey-hive data gathering technique and the second phase is Inter-Cluster Frequency Matching (ICFM), which is based on the global optimal data aggregation. The proposed data aggregation mechanism increases the optimal connectivity range of the sensor node to a considerable degree for inter-cluster and intra-cluster coverage with an improved optimal energy conservation.

Efficient energy consumption is a critical factor for deployment and operation of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To achieve energy efficiency there have been several hierarchical routing protocols that organize sensors into clusters where one sensor is a cluster-head to forward messages received from its cluster-member sensors to the base station of the WSN. In this paper, we propose a self-organized clustering method for cluster-head selection and cluster based routing for a WSN. To select cluster-heads and organize clustermembers for each cluster, every sensor uses only local information and simple decision mechanisms which are aimed at configuring a self-organized system. By these self-organized interactions among sensors and selforganized selection of cluster-heads, the suggested method can form clusters for a WSN and decide routing paths energy efficiently. We compare our clustering method with a clustering method that is a well known routing protocol for the WSNs. In our computational experiments, we show that the energy consumptions and the lifetimes of our method are better than those of the compared method. The experiments also shows that the suggested method demonstrate properly some self-organized properties such as robustness and adaptability against uncertainty for WSN's.

We develop a low complexity cooperative diversity protocol for low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) based wireless sensor networks. A cross layer approach is used to obtain spatial diversity in the physical layer. In this paper, a simple modification in clustering algorithm of the LEACH protocol is proposed to exploit virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) based user cooperation. In lieu of selecting a single cluster-head at network layer, we proposed M cluster-heads in each cluster to obtain a diversity order of M in long distance communication. Due to the broadcast nature of wireless transmission, cluster-heads are able to receive data from sensor nodes at the same time. This fact ensures the synchronization required to implement a virtual MIMO based space time block code (STBC) in cluster-head to sink node transmission. An analytical method to evaluate the energy consumption based on BER curve is presented. Analysis and simulation results show that proposed cooperative LEACH protocol can save a huge amount of energy over LEACH protocol with same data rate, bit error rate, delay and bandwidth requirements. Moreover, this proposal can achieve higher order diversity with improved spectral efficiency compared to other virtual MIMO based protocols.

The network topology for a wide area sensor network has to support connectivity and a prolonged lifetime for the many applications used within it. The concepts of structure and group in sociology are similar to the concept of cluster in wireless sensor networks. The clustering method is one of the preferred ways to produce a topology for reduced electrical energy consumption. We herein propose a cluster topology method based on sociological structures and concepts. The proposed sociological clustering topology (SOCT) is a method that forms a network in two phases. The first phase, which from a sociological perspective is similar to forming a state within a nation, involves using nodes with large transmission capacity to set up the global area for the cluster. The second phase, which is similar to forming a city inside the state, involves using nodes with small transmission capacity to create regional clusters inside the global cluster to provide connectivity within the network. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other methods in terms of energy efficiency and network lifetime.

Security is more important in many sensor applications. The node replication attack is a major issue on sensor networks. The replicated node can capture all node details. Node Replication attacks use its secret cryptographic key to successfully produce the networks with clone nodes and also it creates duplicate nodes to build up various attacks. The replication attacks will affect in routing, more energy consumption, packet loss, misbehavior detection, etc. In this paper, a Secure-Efficient Centralized approach is proposed for detecting a Node Replication Attacks in Wireless Sensor Networks for Static Networks. The proposed system easily detects the replication attacks in an effective manner. In this approach Secure Cluster Election is used to prevent from node replication attack and Secure Efficient Centralized Approach is used to detect if any replicated node present in the network. When comparing with the existing approach the detection ratio, energy consumption performs better.

Many researches have been performed to increase energy-efficiency in wireless sensor networks. One of primary research topics is about clustering protocols, which are adopted to configure sensor networks in the form of hierarchical structures by grouping sensor nodes into a cluster. However, legacy clustering protocols do not propose detailed methods from the perspective of implementation to determine a cluster's boundary and configure a cluster, and to communicate among clusters. Moreover, many of them involve assumptions inappropriate to apply those to a sensor field. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a new T-Clustering (Top-down Clustering) protocol, which takes into considerations a node's density, a distance between cluster heads, and remained energy of a node all together. Our proposal is a sink-node oriented top-down clustering protocol, and can form uniform clusters throughout the network. Further, it provides re-clustering functions according to the state of a network. In order to verify our protocol's feasibility, we have implemented and experimented T-Clustering protocol on Crossbow's MICAz nodes which are executed on TinyOS 2.0.2.
