Since sensor networks consist of sensor nodes with limited energy resources, so efficient energy use of sensor nodes is very important in the design of sensor networks. Sensor nodes consume a lot of energy for data transmission. Clustering technique is used to efficiently use energy in data transmission. Recently, mobile sink techniques have been proposed to reduce the energy load concentrated on the cluster header near a sink node. The CMS(Cluster-based Mobile sink) technique minimizes the generation of control messages by creating a data transmission path while creating clusters, and supports the inter-cluster one-hop transmission. But, there is a case where there is no connectivity between neighbor clusters, it causes a problem of having a long hop data transmission path regardless of local distance. In this paper, we propose a SCBC(Strong connection balancing cluster) to support the path of the minimum number of hops. The proposed scheme minimizes the number of hops in the data transmission path and supports efficient use of energy in the cluster header. This also minimizes a number of hops in data transmission paths even when the sink moves and establishes a new path, and it supports the effect of extending the life cycle of the entire sensor network.

무선 센서 네트워크는 제한된 에너지 자원으로 동작하므로 에너지 소비를 최소화하여 통신하는 기법이 무선 센서 네트워크 설계에 있어 매우 중요한 요소이다. 센서 노드들의 에너지 효율을 개선하기 위한 다양한 방법 중 클러스터링 알고리즘에 기반 한 계층적 라우팅 방법이 무선 센서 네트워크의 성능과 수명을 증가시키기 위해 효과적인 기술임이 알려지면서 다양한 접근법이 제시되고 있다. 클러스터 기반 아키텍처에서 클러스터의 부하 균형을 위한 효율적인 군집 모델은 게이트웨이와 센서 노드의 수명을 증가시켜 전체 네트워크의 성능을 향상 시킨다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크의 수명과 에너지 효율성을 높이기 위해 새로운 부하 균형 군집 모델을 제시한다. 또한 최적해를 보장하는 분기 한정 알고리즘을 설계하고 이를 이용해 다양한 조건에서 기존에 제시된 부하 균형 군집 모델과 실험하고 성능을 비교한다.

A most important thing in a connected dominating set(CDS)-based routing in a wireless ad-hoc network is to select a minimum number of dominating nodes and then build a backbone network which is made of them. Node failure in a CDS is an event of non-negligible probability. For applications where fault tolerance is critical, a traditional dominating-set based routing may not be a desirable form of clustering. It is necessary to minimize the frequency of reconstruction of a CDS to reduce message overhead due to message flooding. The idea is that by finding alternative nodes within a restricted range and locally reconstructing a CDS to include them, instead of totally reconstructing a new CDS. With the proposed algorithm, the resulting number of dominating nodes after partial reconstruction of CDS is not changed and also its execution time is faster than well-known algorithm of construction of CDS by 20~40%. In the case of high mobility situation, the proposed algorithm gives better results for the performance metrics, packet receive ratio and energy consumption.
