본 논문에서는 무선 센서 노드의 다양한 전력 소모 유형을 고려한 배터리 수명 계산 방법을 제시하였다. 무선센서 노드의 전력 소모 유형을 일회성 및 주기성으로 구분하고 여러 가지 동작 모드에 따른 소비 전력의 차이를 고려함으로써 전체 전류 소모량을 계산 할 수 있다. 여기에 배터리의 자기 방전율을 추가적으로 고려함으로써 센서노드의 배터리 수명을 계산하는 일반화된 식을 제시하였다. 제시된 계산 방식은 Zigbee등 임의의 센서노드에서 배터리 수명을 계산하는데 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

It is important to efficiently elect the cluster header in Hierarchical Sensor Network, because it largely affects on the lifetime of the network. Therefore, recent research is focused on the lifetime extension of the whole network for efficient cluster header election. In this paper, we propose the new Cluster Header Election Scheme in which the cluster is divided into Group considering Distance from Upper Node, and a cluster header will be elected by node density of the Group. Also, we evaluate the performance of this scheme, and show that this proposed scheme improves network lifetime in Zigbee environment.

For energy-efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), when a sensor node detects events, the sensing period for collecting the detailed information is likely to be short. The lifetime of WSNs decreases because communication modules are used excessively on a specific sensor node. To solve this problem, the TARP decentralized network packets to neighbor nodes. It considered the average data transmission rate as well as the data distribution. However, since the existing scheme did not consider the energy consumption of a node in WSNs, its network lifetime is reduced. In this paper, we propose an energy awareness congestion control scheme based on genetic algorithms in WSNs. The proposed scheme considers the remaining amount of energy and the transmission rate on a single node in fitness evaluation. Since the proposed scheme performs an efficient congestion control, it extends the network lifetime. In order to show the superiority of the proposed scheme, we compare it with the existing scheme through performance evaluation. It is shown that the proposed scheme enhances the data fairness and improves the network lifetime by about 27% on average over the existing scheme.

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.

센서노드의 에너지를 절약하는 것은 네트워크 수명을 늘리기 위해 필요하다. 센서의 에너지는 파워를 교체할 수 없기 때문에 매우 중요하다. 에너지를 절약함으로써 네트워크의 자원을 절약하고 더 오랫동안 사용할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 베이스 스테이션을 활용하여 라우팅 프로토콜을 최적화하기 위한 프로토콜인 BSAH 를 제안하였다. BSAH 는 BeamStar 처럼 베이스스테이션이 안테나의 방향을 고려하여 센서를 나눈다. BSAG 는 PEGASIS 나 CHIRON 보다 25%에서 30% 정도 우수한 성능을 보였다.

The data gathering delay and the network lifetime are important indicators to measure the service quality of wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs). This study proposes a dynamically cluster head (CH) selection strategy and automatic scheduling scheme of collectors for prolonging the network lifetime and shorting data gathering delay in WSAN. First the monitoring region is equally divided into several subregions and each subregion dynamically selects a sensor node as CH. These can balance the energy consumption of sensor node thereby prolonging the network lifetime. Then a task allocation method based on genetic algorithm is proposed to uniformly assign tasks to actuators. Finally the trajectory of each actuator is optimized by ant colony optimization algorithm. Simulations are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the results show that the method performs better to extend network lifetime while also reducing data delay.

With the advance of computer and communication technologies, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are increasingly used in many aspects of our daily life. However, since the battery lifetime of WSN nodes is restricted, the WSN lifetime is also limited. Therefore, it is crucial to determine this limited lifetime in advance for preventing service interruptions in critical applications. This paper proposes a feasible static analysis approach to estimating the worstcase lifetime of a WSN. Assuming known routes with a given sensor network topology and SMAC as the underlying MAC protocol, we statically estimate the lifetime of each sensor node with a fixed initial energy budget. These estimations are then compared with the results obtained through simulation which run with the same energy budget on each node. Experimental results of our research on TinyOS applications indicate that our approach can safely and accurately estimate worst-case lifetime of the WSN. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first one to estimate the worst-case lifetime of WSNs through a static analysis method.

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.

무선 센서 네트워크의 클러스터링(Clustering)기법은 센서 노드의 에너지 소모를 최소화하기 위한 목적으로 개발되어 Network Lifetime을 증대시키는 효과를 보인다. 기존의 클러스터링 기법들은 센서 노드들이 CH(Cluster Head) 역할을 교대로 수행함으로써 각 노드의 에너지 소모를 균등하도록 하여 Network Lifetime을 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였지만, 싱크(Sink) 노드와 인접한 노드들의 에너지 소모를 최소화하는 방안은 제시하지 못했다. 본 논문에서는 싱크 노드의 POS(Personal Operating Space)내에 존재하는 인접 노드들의 일부를 클러스터의 멤버(Member) 노드로 가입시키지 않고, 직접 싱크 노드와 통신하게 함으로써 싱크 노드와 인접한 CH의 에너지 소모를 줄여 Network Lifetime을 연장하는 클러스터링 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

To solve the problem of unbalanced loads and the short network lifetime of heterogeneous wireless sensor networks, this paper proposes a node-selection algorithm based on energy balance and dynamic adjustment. The spacing and energy of the nodes are calculated according to the proximity to the network nodes and the characteristics of the link structure. The direction factor and the energy-adjustment factor are introduced to optimize the node-selection probability in order to realize the dynamic selection of network nodes. On this basis, the target path is selected by the relevance of the nodes, and nodes with insufficient energy values are excluded in real time by the establishment of the node-selection mechanism, which guarantees the normal operation of the network and a balanced energy consumption. Simulation results show that this algorithm can effectively extend the network lifetime, and it has better stability, higher accuracy, and an enhanced data-receiving rate in sufficient time.
