In a Ubiquitous sensor network environment, the sensor node is in general small and low price, and operating with power limited battery. The reliable TCP/IP protocol is used for transmitting sensed data from the sensor node. A new method was proposed in order to overcome the limitation of small embedded memory, but it is difficult to use for the case of frame error. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to manage the receiving frame error or loss, and it is appropriate to the sensor network to send sensed data periodically.

Mobile Sensor Networks (MSN) is composed of a distributed collection of mobile sensor nodes, each of which has sensing, computation, communication and locomotion capabilities. Since the routing path can be broken when some nodes on the path move to other position, MSN may have a high rate of communication failure. So, MSN has to provide a means for low-cost and low-power routing to support mobility of sensor nodes. In this paper, a limited flooding scheme for routing in MSN is proposed to allow efficient energy utilization without requiring any complicated tasks for path maintenance.

A micro-sensor network is comprised of a large number of small sensors with limited memory capacity. Current key-establishment schemes for symmetric encryption require too much memory for micro-sensor networks on a large scale. In this paper, we propose a memory-efficient hypercube key establishment scheme that only requires logarithmic memory overhead.

Sensor node's mobility brings new challenges to data dissemination in large sensor networks. Frequent location updates of sensor nodes can lead to both excessive drain of sensor's limited battery supply and increased collisions in wireless transmissions. Conventional studies for routing protocols in wireless sensor networks are not enough to cover energy consumption and migration of sensor nodes. This study proposes a dynamic routing protocol based on the SPIN considering energy consumption and the migration, and also shows the effectiveness of the proposed routing protocol.

As the study of ubiquitous computing environment has been very active in recent years, the senor network technology is considered to be a core technology of it. This wireless sensor network is enabled to sense and gather data of interest from its surroundings by sensor nodes applied in physical space. Each sensor node structuring the sensor network is demanded to execute the required service using limited resources. This limited usage of resources requires the sensor node to energy-efficiently perform in building wireless sensor network, which enables to extend the entire network life. This study structures a system able to monitor changing environment data on a real-time basis using a computer remotely as it energy-efficiently gathers and sends environment data of specific areas.

Sensor networks are usually composed of tens or thousands of tiny devices with limited resources. Because of their limited resources, there will often be some faulty nodes within the network. As nodes in some certain regions rely on each other to route the information gathered by different sensors to a base station (sink), the network should be able to detect a non-operational node in order to determine new paths for routing the information. Failure detection, which identifies the faulty nodes, is rather necessary in sensor networks and a very important research issue. The detection of a non-operational node can be performed using Consensus Algorithm with the purpose of achieving agreement about a node which is supposed to be faulty (non-operational). In this work, we discuss the application of a Consensus Algorithm to sensor node called 'mote'. Our experimental results show that it works efficiently for identifying faulty nodes in sensor networks.

On the limited urban area meteorological data are hard to be collected because of the cost problem. The facilities collecting the data require high installment cost. Recently, the sensor network technique comes to the fore as a solution. Furthermore a mobile phone also becomes to be recognized as a sensor. This paper studies an application to service the meteorological map using mobile phone sensor. A design results for system implementation are introduced in this paper.

Sensor networks consist of sensor nodes with small-size, low-cost, low-power, and multi-functions to sense, to process and to communicate. Minimizing power consumption of sensors is an important issue in sensor networks due to limited power in sensor networks. Clustering is an efficient way to reduce data flow in sensor networks and to maintain less routing information. In this paper, we propose a multi-hop clustering mechanism using global and local ID to reduce transmission power consumption and an efficient routing method for improved data fusion and transmission.

WSN acts as an effective tool for tracking the large scale environments. In such environment, the battery life of the sensor networks is limited due to collection of the data, usage of sensing, computation and communication. To resolve this, a mobile robot is presented to identify the data present in the partitioned sensor networks and passed onto the sink. In novel data collection algorithm, the performance of the data collecting operation is reduced because mobile robot can be used only within the limited range. To enhance the data collection in a changing environment, Non Linear Error Identifier (NLEI) algorithm has been developed and presented in this paper to configure the robot by means of error models which are non-linear. Experimental evaluation has been conducted to estimate the performance of the proposed NLEI and it has been observed that the proposed NLEI algorithm increases the error correction rate upto 42% and efficiency upto 60%.

Advances in wireless sensor network (WSN) technology have enabled small and low-cost sensors with the capability of sensing various types of physical and environmental conditions, data processing, and wireless communication. In the WSN, the sensor nodes have a limited transmission range and their processing and storage capabilities as well as their energy resources are limited. A triple umpiring system has already been proved for its better performance in WSNs. The clustering technique is effective in prolonging the lifetime of the WSN. In this study, we have modified the ad-hoc on demand distance vector routing by incorporating signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) based dynamic clustering. The proposed scheme, which is an efficient and secure routing protocol for wireless sensor networks through SNR-based dynamic clustering (ESRPSDC) mechanisms, can partition the nodes into clusters and select the cluster head (CH) among the nodes based on the energy, and non CH nodes join with a specific CH based on the SNR values. Error recovery has been implemented during the inter-cluster routing in order to avoid end-to-end error recovery. Security has been achieved by isolating the malicious nodes using sink-based routing pattern analysis. Extensive investigation studies using a global mobile simulator have shown that this hybrid ESRP significantly improves the energy efficiency and packet reception rate as compared with the SNR unaware routing algorithms such as the low energy aware adaptive clustering hierarchy and power efficient gathering in sensor information systems.
