In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), cluster based data routing protocols have the advantages of reducing energy consumption and link maintenance cost. Unfortunately, most of clustering protocols have been designed for uniformly distributed sensor networks. However, some urgent situations do not allow thousands of sensor nodes being deployed uniformly. For example, air vehicles or balloons may take the responsibility for deploying sensor nodes hence leading a normally distributed topology. In order to improve energy efficiency in such sensor networks, in this paper, we propose a new cluster formation algorithm named DAEEC (Density Aware Energy-Efficient Clustering). In this algorithm, we define two kinds of clusters: Low Density (LD) clusters and High Density (HD) clusters. They are determined by the number of nodes participated in one cluster. During the data routing period, the HD clusters help the neighbor LD clusters to forward the sensed data to the central base station. Thus, DAEEC can distribute the energy dissipation evenly among all sensor nodes by considering the deployment density to improve network lifetime and average energy savings. Moreover, because the HD clusters are densely deployed they can work in a manner of our former algorithm EEVAR (Energy Efficient Variable Area Routing Protocol) to save energy. According to the performance analysis result, DAEEC outperforms the conventional data routing schemes in terms of energy consumption and network lifetime.

Flying ad-hoc networks (FANETs) is a vibrant research area nowadays. This type of network ranges from various military and civilian applications. FANET is formed by micro and macro UAVs. Among many other problems, there are two main issues in FANET. Limited energy and high mobility of FANET nodes effect the flight time and routing directly. Clustering is a remedy to handle these types of problems. In this paper, an efficient clustering technique is proposed to handle routing and energy problems. Transmission range of FANET nodes is dynamically tuned accordingly as per their operational requirement. By optimizing the transmission range packet loss ratio (PLR) is minimized and link quality is improved which leads towards reduced energy consumption. To elect optimal cluster heads (CHs) based on their fitness we use k-means. Selection of optimal CHs reduce the routing overhead and improves energy consumption. Our proposed scheme outclasses the existing state-of-the-art techniques, ACO based CACONET and PSO based CLPSO, in terms of energy consumption and cluster building time.

Nuclear power plants have a lower cost of power generation, and they are more eco-friendly than other power generation plants. Also, we need to prepare nuclear plant accidents because of their severe damage. In the event of a safety accident, such as a radiation leak, by applying a wireless sensor network to a nuclear power plant, many sensor nodes can be used to monitor radiation and transmit information to an external base station to appropriately respond to the accident. However, applying a wireless sensor network to nuclear power plants requires routing protocols that consider the sensor network size and bypass obstacles such as plant buildings. In general, the hierarchical-based routing protocols are efficient in energy consumption. In this study, we look into the problems that may occur if hierarchical-based routing protocols are applied to nuclear power plants and propose improved routing protocols to solve these problems. Simulation results show that the proposed routing protocol is more effective in energy consumption than the existing LEACH protocol.

MANET consists of only wireless nodes having limited processing capability. It processes routing and data transmission through cooperation among each other. And it is exposed to many attack threats due to the dynamic topology by movement of nodes and multi-hop communication. Therefore, the reliability of transmitted data between nodes must be improved and security of integrity must be high. In this paper, we propose a method to increase the reliability of transmitted data by providing a secure cryptography protocol. The proposed method used a hierarchical structure to provide smooth cryptographic services. The cluster authentication node issues the cluster authentication key pair and unique key to the nodes. The nodes performs the encryption through two steps of encryption using cluster public key and block encryption using unique key. Because of this, the robustness against data forgery attacks was heightened. The superior performance of the proposed method can be confirmed through comparative experiment with the existing security routing method.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) require an enormous number of sensor nodes (SNs) to maintain processing, sensing, and communication capabilities for monitoring targeted sensing regions. SNs are generally operated by batteries and have a significantly restricted energy consumption; therefore, it is necessary to discover optimization techniques to enhance network lifetime by saving energy. The principal focus is on reducing the energy consumption of packet sharing (transmission and receiving) and improving the network lifespan. To achieve this objective, this paper presents a novel improved energy-efficient cluster-based routing protocol (IECRP) that aims to accomplish this by decreasing the energy consumption in data forwarding and receiving using a clustering technique. Doing so, we successfully increase node energy and network lifetime. In order to confirm the improvement of our algorithm, a simulation is done using matlab, in which analysis and simulation results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of two well-known recent benchmarks.

무선 센서 네트워크는 다양한 분야에서 활용 되어지고 있다. 무선 센서 네트워크는 보안, 군사감지, 환경관리, 산업제어, 홈 자동화 등 많은 영역에 적용된다. 하지만 네트워크를 구성하는 노드의 제한된 에너지에 한계로 활용범위가 제한되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 대표적 라우팅 프로토콜 중 LEACH-C를 기반으로 네트워크의 전송을 개선하여 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하는 LEACH-CCBD(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering hierarchy - Centrailized with Cluster and Basestation Distance) 알고리즘을 제안한다. LEACH-CCBD 알고리즘은 클러스터 구성시 멤버노드들의 클러스터 소속에 대하여 멤버 노드로부터 클러스터의 거리와 클러스터 노드로부터 기지국까지의 거리를 합산한 값을 비교하여 선정 우선순위를 두어 클러스터 헤드를 소속시키는 기법이다. 제안한 LEACH-CCBD는 Matlab 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 각 프로토콜에 대한 성능 결과를 확인하였다. 실험결과 에너지 효율성이 LEACH, LEACH-C 알고리즘보다 우수함을 보였다.

One of the main goals of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is to utilize the energy of sensor nodes effectively and maximize the network lifetime. Thus, this paper proposed a routing protocol for WSNs based on virtual force disturbing mobile Sink node (VFMSR). According to the number of sensor nodes in the cluster, the average energy and the centroid factor of the cluster, a new cluster head (CH) election fitness function was designed. At the same time, a hexagonal fixed-point moving trajectory model with the best radius was constructed, and the virtual force was introduced to interfere with it, so as to avoid the frequent propagation of sink node position information, and reduce the energy consumption of CH. Combined with the improved ant colony algorithm (ACA), the shortest transmission path to Sink node was constructed to reduce the energy consumption of long-distance data transmission of CHs. The simulation results showed that, compared with LEACH, EIP-LEACH, ANT-LEACH and MECA protocols, VFMSR protocol was superior to the existing routing protocols in terms of network energy consumption and network lifetime, and compared with LEACH protocol, the network lifetime was increased by more than three times.

클러스터 기반 라우팅 프로토콜(CBRP, Cluster-Based Routing Protocol)은 각 클러스터 내에 헤드를 선출하고 클러스터 헤드는 모든 이동 노드들을 관리, 운영하기 때문에 전력 소모가 심하게 일어나게 된다. 기존의 CBRP는 각 노드의 잔여전력량을 고려하지 않고 헤드를 임의로 선출하기 때문에 클러스터 헤드의 평균 수명이 짧아지고 빈번하게 다른 헤드를 선출해야 하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 클러스터 헤드를 선출할 때 클러스터 내 각 노드의 잔여전력량을 비교하여 잔여전력량이 가장 높은 노드를 클러스터 헤드로 선출하여 클러스터의 수명과 네트워크 전체의 수명을 연장시키면서 경로의 안정성을 높이는 개선된 프로토콜을 제안한다.

이 논문에서는 노드 당 소비 전력의 균형을 달성하기 위해 네트워크 수명의 최적 경로 탐색 과정을 달성하기 위한 효율적인 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안 프로토콜은 각 중간 노드가 전력 레벨 및 자식 노드의 분기 수를 유지하고 노드에 가장 가까운 이웃 노드로 데이터를 전송한다. 제안 프로토콜은 클러스터내에 존재하는 싱크의 수명을 연장시키기 위해서 각 노드의 에너지 소비를 최소화 한다. 또한, 제안 프로토콜은 노드의 잔류 에너지와 기지국과의 거리를 기준으로 인접한 중계 노드를 선택한다. 실험 결과, 제안 프로토콜은 기존 프로토콜에 비해 네트워크 내 잔존하는 노드들의 수명을 7.5 % 의 높였다.
