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.

유비쿼터스 서비스의 성장과 함께 여러 종류의 애드 혹 네트워크가 등장하게 되었다. 특히 애드 혹 네트워크에는 무선 센서 네트워크와 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크가 많이 알려져 있는데, 앞서 서술한 두 가지 네트워크의 특성을 혼합한 무선 애드 혹 네트워크도 존재한다. 본 논문은 LEACH 라우팅 프로토콜을 혼합 네트워크 환경에 적합하도록 개선한 변형된 LEACH 프로토콜 제안한다. 즉 제안한 라우팅 프로토콜은 대규모 이동 센서 노드로 구성된 네트워크에서 노드 검출과 경로 탐색 및 경로 유지를 제공하며, 동시에 노드의 이동성, 연결성, 에너지 효율성을 유지할 수 있다. 제안한 라우팅 프로토콜은 멀티-홉(multi-hop) 및 멀티-패스(multi-path) 알고리즘을 적용하고, 토플로지 재구성 기법으로는 이동중인 대규모 노드에 대한 노드 이동 평가, 진동 센서, 효율적인 경로 선택과 데이터 전송 기법을 이용하여 구현하였다. 실험에서는 제안한 프로토콜과 기존의 전통적인 LEACH 프로토콜을 비교하여 성능을 나타내었다.

분산형 클러스터 라우팅 기법 중 가장 대표적 프로토콜인 LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy)프로토콜은 자기구성과 제한된 전원 문제에 있어 기존의 직접전송방식에 비해 최대 8배 이상의 성능 향상을 가져왔다. 그러나 LEACH는 고정노드를 가정으로 하여 제안된 방식으로, 센서노드가 이동하는 환경에서 클러스터 구성 이후 노드가 현재 클러스터에서 이탈하는 경우 데이터의 전송을 위해서 현재의 통신을 보류하고 새로운 라운드의 클러스터 구성에 참여하여 통신해야 하므로 데이터 전송 지연과 손실을 유발 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 LEACH프로토콜을 기반으로 센서노드가 이동하는 환경에서 데이터의 전송 지연을 최소화 하기 위한 방안을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방식의 성능평가를 위해 시뮬레이션 해본 결과 이동성을 지원하지 않는 기존의 LEACH 프로토콜에 비해 데이터 전송 성공률이 향상된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 이동 에드혹 네트워크(Mobile Ad hoc network: MANET)에서의 상황인식 기반의 스케쥴링 기법인 CSWC(Coverage Scheduling Weight-value Control) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 LEACH 알고리즘은 확률적 분포 함수에 의해 커버리지 영역 안에 존재 하는 클러스터 헤드노드를 선택하여 중계노드로 통신한다. 하지만 확률적 분포함수에 의해 선택된 헤드 노드가 커버리지 영역에서 전송거리 비율이 비균형으로 나뉘어 전송할 경우, 노드의 에너지 소모가 일정하지 않아 효율적으로 사용하지 못하는 경우가 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 최적의 커버리지 영역을 설정하여 유지하는 CSWC알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 커버리지 영역이 비균형으로 설정되어 있을 경우, 커버러지 영역을 결정하는 홉 수를 증가시켜 최적의 커버리지 영역을 제공하는 알고리즘이다. 주어진 모의실험 환경에서 노드의 효율적인 커버리지 영역을 설정하여 네트워크의 최적화된 에너지 소모를 보여주고 있다.

In this paper, we extended a hierarchical clustering technique, which is the most researched in the sensor network field, and studied a dynamic differential clustering technique to minimize energy consumption and ensure equal lifespan of all sensor nodes while considering the mobility of sinks. In a sensor network environment with mobile sinks, clusters close to the sinks tend to consume more forwarding energy. Therefore, clustering that considers forwarding energy consumption is desired. Since all clusters form a hierarchical tree, the number of levels of the tree must be considered based on the size of the cluster so that the cluster size is not growing abnormally, and the energy consumption is not concentrated within specific clusters. To verify that the proposed DDC protocol satisfies these requirements, a simulation using Matlab was performed. The FND (First Node Dead), LND (Last Node Dead), and residual energy characteristics of the proposed DDC protocol were compared with the popular clustering protocols such as LEACH and EEUC. As a result, it was shown that FND appears the latest and the point at which the dead node count increases is delayed in the DDC protocol. The proposed DDC protocol presents 66.3% improvement in FND and 13.8% improvement in LND compared to LEACH protocol. Furthermore, FND improved 79.9%, but LND declined 33.2% when compared to the EEUC. This verifies that the proposed DDC protocol can last for longer time with more number of surviving nodes.

In recent years, researchers have been attracted to clustering methods to improve communication and data transmission in a network. Compared with traditional wireless networks, wireless sensor networks are energy constrained and have lower data rates. The concept of implementing a clustering algorithm in an existing project on gateway relocation is being explored here. Low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) is applied to an existing study on relocating a gateway. The study is further improved by moving the gateway to a specific cluster based on the number or significance of the events detected. The protocol is improved so that each cluster head can communicate with a mobile gateway. The cluster heads are the only nodes that can communicate with the mobile gateway when it (the mobile gateway) is out of the cluster nodes' transmission range. Once the gateway is in range, the nodes will begin their transmission of real-time data. This alleviates the load of the nodes that would be located closest to the gateway if it were static.

The deployment of geographically distributed wireless sensors has greatly elevated the capability of monitoring structural health in social-overhead capital (SOC) public infrastructures. This paper deals with the utilization of a distributed mobility management (DMM) approach for the deployment of wireless sensing devices in a structural health monitoring system (SHM). Then, a wireless sensing mechanism utilizing low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH)-based clustering algorithm for smart sensors has been analyzed to support the seamless data transmission of structural health information which is essentially important to guarantee public safety. The clustering of smart sensors will be able to provide real-time monitoring of structural health and a filtering algorithm to boost the transmission of critical information over heterogeneous wireless and mobile networks.

The development of USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technology is creating numerous application areas. Although a network configuration with fixed sensors was the norm in the past, the coexistence of mobile and fixed sensor nodes is a new trend. Fixed sensor networks focused on the energy efficiency of nodes, but the latest studies consider guaranteeing the mobility of nodes and maintaining their connectivity, while remaining energy efficient at the same time. This paper proposes a routing protocol for a mobile ad-hoc sensor network that improves the mobility, connectivity and energy efficiency of nodes while allowing for the management and maintenance of a large number of nodes even in a complex communication environment where mobile and fixed nodes coexist. An algorithm for multi-hop multi-paths, a technique for topology reconfiguration by node movement prediction and vibration sensors, path setting for a large number of nodes, and efficient data transfer technology have been introduced to implement the modified LEAHC-AOMDV protocol. Furthermore, the excellence of this protocol was verified through a comparative experiment with the conventional LEACH protocol.

In this paper, we present a multi-chain based hierarchical topology control algorithm (MCHTC) for wireless sensor networks. In this algorithm, the topology control process using static clustering is divided into sensing layer that is composed by sensor nodes and multi-hop data forwarding layer that is composed by leader nodes. The communication cost and residual energy of nodes are considered to organize nodes into a chain in each cluster, and leader nodes form a tree topology. Leader nodes are elected based on the residual energy and distance between themselves and the base station. Analysis and simulation results show that MCHTC outperforms LEACH, PEGASIS and IEEPB in terms of network lifetime, energy consumption and network energy balance.
