In this paper, an adaptive scheme for network topology configuration is proposed to save the overall energy consumption in underwater acoustic sensor network. The proposed scheme employs a self-organized networking methodology where network topology is locally optimized by exchanging the energy-related information between neighboring nodes such as the remaining energy of each node, in a way that the network life time can be augmented without any centralized control function. Computer simulation is used to evaluate the proposed scheme comparing with LEACH in terms of the number of alive nodes after a given time, the deviation of individual nodes' residual energy and the energy consumption at the initialization and coordination stages.

Energy efficient operations are essential to increase the life time of wireless sensor network. A cluster-based protocol is the most common approach to preserve energy during a data aggregation. This paper deals with an energy awareness and autonomous clustering method based on time delay. This method consists of three stages. In the first phase, Candidate Cluster Headers(CCHs) are selected based on a time delay which reflects the remaining energy of a node, with considering coverage efficiency of a cluster. Then, time delay is again applied to declare Cluster Headers(CHs) out of the CCHs. In the last phase, the issue on an orphan node which is not included into a cluster is resolved. The simulation results show that the proposed method increases the life time of the network around triple times longer than LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Cluster Hierarchy). Moreover, the cluster header frequency is less diverse, and the energy on cluster heads is less spent.

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.

Clustering protocol of Wireless sensor networks(WSNs) not only reducing the volume of inter-node communication by the nodes's data aggreation but also extending the nodes's sleep times by cluster head's TDMA-schedule coordination. In order to extend network lifetime of WSNs, we propose ECS algorithm to select cluster-head using three variables. It consists of initial and current energy of nodes, round information and total numbers which have been selected as cluster head until current round.

Reducing the energy consumed by sensor node is a critical issue in wireless sensor networks. In particular, energy in each sensor node is too limited to waste on overhearing of packets that are not relevant. In this paper, we propose a wakeup scheme to reduce overhearing energy through the wakeup time difference between neighboring nodes. Other research papers on wakeup schemes usually focus on decreasing the latency. We propose a technique to reduce wasted energy for overhearing using the wakeup scheme. Simulation results indicate that our proposed wakeup scheme improves the sensor network lifetime.

Most of the sensor applications collect and analyze sensor data within a given period of time. When sensor send a data to sink, it spend many communication cost. Accordingly, a compression algorithm is one of the most critical issues for the communication cost decrease in sensor fields. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for compressing sensor data using the dynamic bit assignment technique. In our algorithm, sink collect sensor data within a short period of time and make bit assign information. Then sink send the information to sensor. Finally, sensors compresssensing data and send to sink.

In recent years, many applications in WSN have increasingly interested in data transfer reliability. In this paper, we propose a dynamic grouping transfer mechanism which maintains both reliability and energy efficiency in transmission from a source to a sink. The proposed scheme considers channel error of each node. Then it uses an end-to-end ACK transmission in a group and a hop-by-hop ACK transmission between groups. Consequently this mechanism minimize the cost of packet transfer along with enhancing the network lifetime and reliability.

In this paper, we have pesented a reliable data transfer mechanism using Directed Diffusion in WSNs (fireless Sensor Networks). This mechanism involves selecting a route with higher reachability and transferring data along the route chosen, which is based on the end-to-end reliability calculated by the dissemination procedure of Interest packets, while each node of a sensor network maintains the only information on its neighborhood. We performed various experiments changing the link error rates and the number of nodes and discovered that this proposed mechanism improves event-to-sink data transfer reliability in WSNs. We also found that this mechanism spreads traffic load over and reduces energy consumption, which in turn prolongs network lifetime.

전형적인 센서 네트워크는 사용자, 싱크 그리고 센서들로 구성되며, 사용자와 싱크간은 기반 망으로 연결되어 있음을 가정한다. 그러나, 재난지역이나 전투지역에서의 실제 사용자들은 기반 망이 없는 밀집 된 센서 영역 내부를 이동하면서 다양한 정보를 받아 임무 수행할 수 있기를 원한다. 따라서, 사용자와 싱크 간 센서 노드만이 통신 채널로 유일하게 존재하는 상황에서 사용자의 이동성 지원이 필요 된다. 다중의 정적 싱크 기반 센서 망 구조에서 사용자의 이동성이 고려된 네트워크에서 사용자가 원하는 다양한 정보를 얻고자 하여 싱크에게 쿼리를 보냈을 때 각 싱크는 정보를 찾고자 한다. 기존 제안된 알고리즘들은 하나의 패킷에 수많은 쿼리를 담아 주기적인 메시지 전송을 요구하기 때문에 에너지 효율성이 떨어진다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 싱크가 정보를 찾고자 할 때 시간 동기화 기법을 사용하여 에너지 소모를 다소 줄이고자 한다. 각각의 싱크에 수많은 쿼리를 할당하여 원하는 정보를 찾도록 하는 임무로 플러딩할 때 패킷에 실어야 하는 값을 최소화 하여 에너지 효율성과 속도를 빠르게 하여 네트워크 수명을 연장하는 장점을 갖는다. 마지막으로 시뮬레이션시에 검증할 매트릭스와 향후 연구방향을 제시한다.

It is very important for the sensor network to save battery capacity. Switching active mode to sleep mode is used for S-MAC protocol and expiring timer before end of the active part is used for T-MAC in order to extend battery life span. We proposed IS-MAC (Improved Sensor MAC) which gives more energy efficiency than S-MAC and T-MAC To improve energy efficiency in sensor network, we used the threshold value in buffer to transmit data packet and proposed the method to reduce the number of control packets which cause extra battery consumption. Based on the analytical results, we found that the proposed IS-MAC protocol shows better performance than conventional MAC protocols.
