In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), hierarchical clustering is an efficient approach for lower energy consumption and extended network lifetime. In cluster-based multi-hop communications, a cluster head (CH) closer to the sink is loaded heavier than those CHs farther away from the sink. In order to balance the energy consumption among CHs, we development a novel cluster-based routing protocol for corona-structured wireless sensor networks. Based on the relaying traffic of each CH conveys, adequate radius for each corona can be determined through nearly balanced energy depletion analysis, which leads to balanced energy consumption among CHs. Simulation results demonstrate that our clustering approach effectively improves the network lifetime, residual energy and reduces the number of CH rotations in comparison with the MLCRA protocols.

Research on wireless sensor networks has focused on the monitoring and characterization of large-scale physical environments and the tracking of various environmental or physical conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and wind speed. We propose a stochastic mobility model that can be applied to a MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork). environment, and apply this mobility model to a newly proposed clustering-based routing protocol. To verify its stability and durability, we compared the proposed stochastic mobility model with a random model in terms of energy efficiency. The FND (First Node Dead) was measured and compared to verify the performance of the newly designed protocol. In this paper, we describe the proposed mobility model, quantify the changes to the mobile environment, and detail the selection of cluster heads and clusters formed using a fuzzy inference system. After the clusters are configured, the collected data are sent to a base station. Studies on clustering-based routing protocols and stochastic mobility models for MANET applications have shown that these strategies improve the energy efficiency of a network.

WSN is a wirelessly configured network of sensor nodes with limited power such as batteries. If the sensor node's battery is exhausted, the node is no longer available. Therefore, if the network is to be used for a long time, energy consumption should be minimized. There are many Wireless Sensor Network Protocols to improve energy efficiency, including Cluster-based and chain-based Protocols. This paper seeks to examine the performance evaluation of routing protocols studied separately for the improvement of performance in wireless sensor network. The criteria for comparison were selected as the LEACH protocol, a representative hierarchical routing protocol, and the comparison targets considered CHEF and FLCFP and LEACH-DFL routing protocols with Fuzzy Logic. Various criteria for performance comparison were presented in this paper, and the performance was compared through simulation of each protocol. The purpose is to present a reference point for comparing the performance of other protocols through the performance comparison of CHEF, FLCFP, and LEACH-DFL, protocols with LEACH and Fuzzy Logic, and to provide additional design methods for improving the performance of protocols.

기존의 클러스터 기반 라우팅 프로토콜들은 클러스터 외부와의 통신을 클러스터 헤드가 전담함으로써 통신 경로의 구성을 단순화하고 클러스터 헤드를 통한 데이터 통신을 가능하게 하였다. 하지만 매 라운드마다 클러스터 헤드의 재선출(re-electioin) 및 클러스터의 재구성(re-clustering)에 드는 비용을 감수해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 클러스터 헤드없이 완전히 분산된 방식으로 클러스터를 구성하여 클러스터 헤드의 재선출 및 클러스터 재구성의 비용을 줄이고, 안정적인 클러스터 구조를 바탕으로 노드 간의 P2P 통신을 지원하는 라우팅 프로토콜(Distributed Cluster-based Routing Protocol, DCRP)을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 각각의 노드가 이웃 노드와의 연결 상태를 감지하여 독립적으로 자신의 상태를 변화시킴으로써 클러스터를 구성한다. 특정 클러스터를 지나는 경로는 완전히 해당 클러스터 내의 노드들의 책임 하에서 관리되기 때문에 에너지 소모를 효율적으로 관리하고 네트워크의 크기에 따른 확장성을 보장할 수 있다. 제안 기법은 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존 기법에 비해 네트워크 구조(topology)의 안정성이 향상되고 제어 메시지의 교환과 경로 설정에 소모되는 비용이 크게 줄었음을 확인하였다.

In a wireless network environment, since sensors are not always connected to power, the life of a battery, which is an energy source supplied to sensors, is limited. Therefore, various studies have been conducted to extend the network life, and a layer-based routing protocol, LEACH(: Low-energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy), has emerged for efficient energy use. However, the LEACH protocol, which transmits fused data directly to the sink node, has a limitation in that it consumes as much energy as the square of the transmission distance when transmitting data. To improve these limitations, this paper proposes an algorithm that can minimize the transmission distance with multi-hop transmission where cluster heads are chained between cluster heads through relative distance calculation from sink nodes in every round.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) consisting of a largenumber of sensors aims to gather data in a variety of environments and is beingused and applied in many different fields. The sensor nodes composing a sensornetwork operate on battery of limited power and as a result, high energyefficiency and long network lifetime are major goals of research in the WSN. Inthis paper we propose a novel cluster-based local multi-hop routing protocolthat enhances the overall energy efficiency and guarantees reliability in thesystem. The proposed protocol minimizes energy consumption for datatransmission among sensor nodes by forming a multi-hop in the cluster.Moreover, through local cluster head rotation scheme, it efficiently manageswaste of energy caused by frequent formation of clusters which was an issue inthe existing methods. Simulation results show that our scheme enhances energyefficiency and ensure longer network time in the sensor network as comparedwith existing schemes such as LEACH, LEACH-C and PEACH.

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.
