As one of the most important requirements for wireless sensor networks, prolonging network lifetime can be realized by minimizing energy consumption in cluster heads as well as sensor nodes. While most of the previous researches have focused on the energy of sensor nodes, we devote our attention to cluster heads because they are most dominant source of power consumption in the cluster-based sensor networks. Therefore, we seek to minimize energy consumption by minimizing the maximum(MINMAX) energy dissipation at each cluster heads. This work requires energy-efficient clustering of the sensor nodes while satisfying given energy constraints. In this paper, we present a constraint satisfaction modeling of cluster-based routing in a heterogeneous sensor networks because mixed integer programming cannot provide solutions to this MINMAX problem. Computational experiments show that substantial energy savings can be obtained with the MINMAX algorithm in comparison with a minimum total energy(MTE) strategy.

Aparallel computing environment was constructed based on Windows 2000 operating system. This cluster was configured using Fast-Ethernet system to hold up together the clients within a network domain. For the parallel computation, MPI implements for Windows such as MPICH.NT.1.2.2 and MP-MPICHNT.1.2 were used with Compaq Visual Fortran compiler which produce a well optimized executives for x86 systems. The evaluation of this cluster performance was carried out using a preconditioned Navier-Stokes code for the 2D analysis of a compressible and viscous flow around a compressor blade. The parallel performance was examined in comparison with those of Linux clusters studied previously by changing a number of processors, problem size and MPI libraries. The result from the test problems presents that parallel performance of the low cost Fast-Ethernet Windows cluster is superior to that of a Linux cluster of similar configuration and is comparable to that of a Myrinet cluster.

On ATM-based wired/wireless integrated network, we apply the connection re-routing method[1] which reduced the inter-cluster handoff delay by reserving VPI/VCLs for possible inter-cluster handoff calls in advance. Additionally, we propose wired resource reservation methods, which are ausiliary method and split method, for handoff QoS guarantee of various expected services. The characteristics of these methods reserve wired connection resources based on the information on the possible inter-cluster handoff calls. With mathematical analysis, we also propose each algorithm and cost function for deciding an optimal amount in reserving resources. With numberical examples, we can see that the auxiliary method effectively reduces the cost in all cases(.alpha.>.betha., .alpha.=.betha., and .alpha.<.betha.). The split method has a little cost-reduction effects, when handoffs call does not have priority over new calls (that is, .alpha..leq..betha.) and the total capacity is relatively large. In other cases, the split method, however, has effective cost-reduction effects. The numerical resutls show that these reservation methods ca flexibly cope with the time-variant environment and meet the QoS requriements on the inter-cluster handoff calls.

One of the imminent problems to be solved within wireless sensor network is to balance out energy dissipation among deployed sensor nodes. In this paper, we present a transmission relay method of communications between BS (Base Station) and CHs (Cluster Heads) for balancing the energy consumption and extending the average lifetime of sensor nodes by the fuzzy logic application. The proposed method is designed based on LEACH protocol. The area deployed by sensor nodes is divided into two groups based on distance from BS to the nodes. RCH (Relay Cluster Head) relays transmissions from CH to BS if the CH is in the area far away from BS in order to reduce the energy consumption. RCH decides whether to relay the transmissions based on the threshold distance value that is obtained as a output of fuzzy logic system, Our simulation result shows that the application of fuzzy logic provides the better balancing of energy depletion and prolonged lifetime of the nodes.

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is expected to be used in many applications. However, sensor nodes still have some secure problems to use them in the real applications. They are typically deployed on open, wide, and unattended environments. An adversary using these features can easily compromise the deployed sensor nodes and use compromised sensor nodes to inject fabricated data to the sensor network (false data injection attack). The injected fabricated data drains much energy of them and causes a false alarm. To detect and drop the injected fabricated data, a filtering-based security method and adaptive methods are proposed. The number of different partitions is important to make event report since they can make a correctness event report if the representative node does not receive message authentication codes made by the different partition keys. The proposed methods cannot guarantee the detection power since they do not consider the filtering scheme. We proposed clustering method for filtering-based secure methods. Our proposed method uses fuzzy system to enhance the detection power of a cluster.

이동 애드혹 네트워크는 고정된 기반 망의 도움 없이 이동 단말만으로 구성된 자율적이고 독립적인 네트워크이다. 최근 애드혹 네트워크의 보안성과 효율성을 높이는 방법으로 클러스터 기반 애드혹 네트워크가 대두되고 있다. 또한 이에 적합한 라우팅 프로토콜 역시 활발히 연구되고 있다. 하지만 클러스터 기반 ad-hoc 네트워크에서 보안을 고려한 라우팅 프로토콜에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 클러스터 기반 애드혹 네트워크에서 공격에 안전한 보안 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 보안 라우팅 프로토콜은 Diffie-Hellman 키 교환, HMAC, 디지털 서명 등을 사용하여 라우팅 메시지에 대한 무결성을 보장하여 안전한 경로 설정을 수행하였다.

센서 네트워크는 향후 유비쿼터스 환경 서비스 구현을 위한 기본 인프라와 서비스 영역 정보수집 및 기기제어 등에 중요한 역할을 담당할 것으로 예상되며, 최근 센서 네트워크 기반 시스템에서의 에너지의 효율적 공급 방안에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 계층적 구조 클러스터 기반 센서 네트워크에서 네트워크 생명주기를 최대로 유지하면서 클러스터 헤드에 공급되는 에너지를 최소화하는 센서 네트워크 에너지 공급 문제를 구성한다. 이 문제에 대한 해를 수학적으로 구하고 이를 기반으로 각 클러스터 헤드에 공급하는 에너지양을 결정하는 기법을 제안한다. 또한 모의실험을 통해 제안된 방식이 단순히 클러스터 헤드마다 최대 공급가능 에너지를 제공하는 것에 비해 주어진 실험 조건에서 최소 33% 이상의 에너지 절감 효과가 있음을 보였다.

In this paper, we study the problem of load balancing routing in clustered-based wireless mesh network in order to enhance the overall network throughput. We first address the problems of cluster allocation in wireless mesh network to achieve load-balancing state. Due to the complexity of the problem, we proposed a simplified algorithm using gradient load-balancing model. This method searches for a localized optimal solution of cluster allocation instead of solving the optimal solution for overall network. To support for load-balancing algorithm and reduce complexity of topology control, we also introduce limited broadcasting between two clusters. This mechanism maintain shortest path between two nodes in adjacent clusters while minimizing the topology broadcasting complexity. The simulation experiments demonstrate that our proposed model achieve performance improvement in terms of network throughput in comparison with other clustering methods.

Wireless Sensor Network consists of several sensor nodes, these nodes loss some of their energy after the process of communication. So an energy efficient approach is required to improve the life of the network. In case of broadcast network, LEACH protocol uses an aggregative approach by creating cluster of nodes. Now the major concern is to built such clusters over WSN in an optimized way. This work presents the improvement over LEACH protocol. Hence we have different work environments where the network is having different capacities. The proposed work shows how the life time of the network will improve when the number of nodes varies within the network.

Energy efficiency is the most challenging issue in wireless sensor network to prolong the life time of the network, as the sensors has to be unattended. Cluster based communication can reduce the traffic on the network and gives the opportunity to other sensors for periodic sleep and thus save energy. Passive clustering (PC) can perform a significant role to minimize the network load as it is less computational and light weight. First declaration wins method of PC without any priority generates severe collision in the network and forms the clusters very dense with large amount of overlapping region. We have proposed several modifications for the existing passive clustering algorithm to prolong the life time of the network with better cluster formation.
