본 논문에서는 WSN(Wireless Sensor Networks)을 구성함에 있어 에너지 소비효율이 우수한 MAC 프로토콜을 제안하고자 한다. WSN은 매우 작은 크기의 단말에 무선통신모듈, MPU, 센싱모듈 등을 탑재하고 환경데이터를 측정하며 이를 자가망 구성을 통해 수신단으로 전송하는 기술을 말한다. 이러한 WSN에서 사용되는 단말은 에너지자원이 한정적인 단점이 있으며, 이를 극복하기 위한 효율적인 네트워크 운영이 최근 주요 이슈로 등장하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 S-MAC을 개선하여 네트워크를 구성하는 단말들이 보다 효율적으로 에너지를 소모하도록 유도함으로써 네트워크 상태에 맞는 스케줄링과 데이터 전송이 이루어지게 하는 방법을 제안한다.

In mobile ad hoc networks(MANETs), all the nodes in a network have limited resources. Therefore, communication topology which has long lifetime is suitable for nodes in MANETs. And MANETs are exposed to various threats because of a new node which can join the network at any time. There are various researches on security problems in MANETs and many researches have tried to make efficient schemes for reducing network power consumption. Power consumption is necessary to secure networks, however too much power consumption can be critical to network lifetime. This paper focuses on energy efficient monitoring node distribution for enhancing network lifetime in MANETs. Since MANETs cannot use centralized infrastructure such as security systems of wired networks, we propose an efficient IDS node distribution scheme using minimum spanning tree (MST) method to cover all the nodes in a network and enhance the network lifetime. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in comparison with the existing algorithms.

To address challenges of an unprecedented growth in mobile data traffic, the ultra-dense network deployment is a cost efficient solution to off-load the traffic over other small cells. However, the real traffic is often much lower than the peak-hour traffic and certain small cells are superfluous, which will not only introduce extra energy consumption, but also impose extra interference onto the radio environment. In this paper, an elastic energy efficient cell management scheme is proposed based on flow scheduling among multi-layer ultra-dense cells by a SDN controller. A significant power saving was achieved by a cell-level energy manager. The scheme is elastic for energy saving, adaptive to the dynamic traffic distribution in the office or campus environment. In the end, the performance is evaluated and demonstrated. The results show substantial improvements over the conventional method in terms of the number of active BSs, the handover times, and the switches of BSs.

무선 센서 네트워크에서는 기본적으로 교환이나 충전이 어려운 베터리로 동작하는 센서 노드들로 구성된다. 따라서 센서 노드들의 에너지 소모를 줄이는 것이 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 중요한 과제이다. 이러한 에너지 효율적인 MAC 프로토콜을 구현하기 위해 기존의 IEEE 802.11 Protocol을 기반으로 휴면 기간의 에너지를 효율적으로 관리하는 Sensor MAC(이하 S-MAC) Protocol이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 효율적 스케줄링 기반의 기존 S-MAC을 기반으로 네트워크 트래픽에 동적으로 동작하기 위한 동적 S-MAC을 제안하였다. 동적 S-MAC 프로토콜은 네트워크 트래픽 상황에 따라 프레임 주기를 변경함으로써 S-MAC의 에너지 효율을 개선하였다. NS2 시뮬레이션을 통해 동적 S-MAC과 기존 S-MAC의 성능을 평가하였다.

The use of network coding in wireless networks has been proposed in the literature for energy efficient broadcast. However, the decoding complexity of existing algorithms is too high for low-complexity devices. In this work we formalize the all-to-all information exchange problem and shows how to optimize the transmission scheme in terms of energy efficiency. Furthermore, we prove by construction that there exists O(1) -complexity network coding algorithms for grid networks which can achieve such optimality. We also present low-complexity heuristics for random. topology networks. Simulation results show that network coding algorithms outperforms forwarding algorithms in most cases.

Wireless sensor networks are composed of a large number of sensor nodes with limited energy resources. One critical issue in wireless sensor networks is how to gather sensed information in an energy efficient way, since their energy is limited. The clustering algorithm is a technique used to reduce energy consumption. It can improve the scalability and lifetime of wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we introduce a clustering protocol with mode selection (CPMS) for wireless sensor networks. Our scheme improves the performance of BCDCP (Base Station Controlled Dynamic Clustering Protocol) and BIDRP (Base Station Initiated Dynamic Routing Protocol) routing protocol. In CPMS, the base station constructs clusters and makes the head node with the highest residual energy send data to the base station. Furthermore, we can save the energy of head nodes by using the modes selection method. The simulation results show that CPMS achieves longer lifetime and more data message transmissions than current important clustering protocols in wireless sensor networks.

By means of compressive sensing (CS) technique, this paper considers the collection of sensor data with spatiotemporal correlations in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In energy-constrained WSNs, one-dimensional CS methods need a lot of data transmissions since they are less applicable in fully exploiting the spatiotemporal correlations, while the Kronecker CS (KCS) methods suffer performance degradations when the signal dimension increases. In this paper, an appropriate sensing matrix as well as an efficient sensing method is proposed to further reduce the data transmissions without the loss of the recovery performance. Different matrices for the temporal signal of each sensor node are separately designed. The corresponding energy-efficient data gathering method is presented, which only transmitting a subset of sensor readings to recover data of the entire WSN. Theoretical analysis indicates that the sensing structure could have the relatively small mutual coherence according to the selection of matrix. Compared with the existing spatiotemporal CS (CS-ST) method, the simulation results show that the proposed efficient measurement method could reduce data transmissions by about 25% with the similar recovery performance. In addition, compared with the conventional KCS method, for 95% successful recovery, the proposed sensing structure could improve the recovery performance by about 20%.

센서 네트워크에서 센서 노드는 제한된 배터리 용량을 가지기 때문에 에너지 효율적인 라우팅을 통한 네트워크 수명의 최대화가 매우 중요하다. 따라서 많은 라우팅 프로토콜들이 개발되었으며 이는 크게 평면 라우팅과 계층적 라우팅으로 분류된다. 최근 계층적 라우팅 방안에 초점을 맞추고 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있으며 대표적인 방안으로 LEACH가 있다. 본 논문에서는 LEACH의 문제점을 분석하고 이를 보완하기 위한 새로운 라우팅 방안으로 ENTER (ENergy efficient Two-tiEr Routing protocol)를 제안한다. ENTER는 LEACH에서 사용된 분산 알고리즘을 통해 클러스터를 형성하며 클러스터 헤드간에 경로를 형성하여 싱크 노드로 통합된 데이터를 전송함으로써 에너지 손실을 줄이고 네트워크 수명을 증가시킨다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 LEACH와 ENTER의 성능을 비교하였으며, 제안된 ENTER가 더 효율적으로 에너지를 이용함으로써 네트워크 수명이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

Multipath routing technique is recognized as one of the effective approaches to improve the reliability of data forwarding. However, the traditional multipath routing focuses only on how many paths are needed to ensure a desired reliability. For this purpose, the protocols construct additional paths and thus cause significant energy consumption. These problems have motivated the study for the energy-efficient and reliable data forwarding. Thus, this paper proposes an energy-efficient concurrent multipath routing protocol with a small number of paths based on interaction between paths. The interaction between paths helps to reinforce the multipath reliability by making efficient use of resources. The protocol selects several nodes located in the radio overlapped area between a pair of paths as bridge nodes for the path-interaction. In order to operate the bridge node efficiently, when the transmission failure has detected by overhearing at each path, it performs recovery transmission to recover the path failure. Simulation results show that proposed protocol is superior to the existing multipath protocols in terms of energy consumption and delivery reliability.

매우 제한된 연산능력과 메모리 그리고 소용량 배터리를 가진 센서 노드로 구성된 센서 네트워크에서 플러딩이나 기존에 제안된 애드혹 라우팅 프로토콜을 적용하여 데이타를 전달하는 것은 현실적인 방안이 되지 못한다. 본 논문에서 우리는 ELF(Energy-efficient Localized Flooding)라고 하는 에너지 효율적인 데이타 전달 프로토콜을 제안하고자 한다. ELF 프로토콜은 소스 센서 노드와 이동성을 갖는 싱크 노드 간의 데이타 전달에 있어서 tracking zone이전 까지는 유니캐스트를 통해서 데이타 메시지가 포워딩되며, tracking tone내에서는 지역적인 플러딩을 통해서 데이타가 전달되도록 하여 유니캐스트와 플러딩의 장점을 적절하게 결합하고 있다. 시뮬레이션을 결과에 따르면, ELF는 매우 높은 data delivery ratio를 유지하면서도 average energy consumption 및 average delay는 낮은 특성을 보임으로써 센서 네트워크의 데이타 전달 방법으로써 매우 효과적임을 확인할 수 있다.
