A data-centric routing protocol considering a data aggregation technique at relay nodes is required to increase the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. An energy-efficient data-centric routing algorithm is proposed by considering a tradeoff between acquisition time and energy consumption in the wireless sensor network. First, the proposed routing scheme decides the sink node among all sensor nodes in order to minimize the maximum distance between them. Then, the proposed routing extends its tree structure in a way to minimize the link cost between the connected nodes for reducing energy consumption while minimizing the maximum distance between sensor nodes and a sink node for rapid information gathering. Simulation results show that the proposed data-centric routing algorithm has short information acquisition time and low energy consumption; thus, it achieves high energy efficiency in the wireless sensor network compared to conventional routing algorithms.

Recent advances in sensor network technology have open up challenges for its effective routing. Routing protocol receives most of the attention because routing protocols might differ depending on the application and network architecture. In the rapidly changing environment and dynamic nature of network formation efficient routing and energy consumption are very crucial. Sensor networks differ from the traditional networks in terms of energy consumption. Thus, data-centric technologies should be used to perform routing to yield an energy-efficient dissemination. By exploiting the advantages of both ant colony optimization techniques in network routing and the ability of data centric muting to organize data for delivery, our approach will cover features for building an efficient autonomous sensor network.

In large-scale wireless sensor networks, the deployed nodes cannot be replaced or recharged after first deployment. Also, dead nodes maγ lead to the partition of whole networks. While performing data dissemination under a battery power constraint, energy efficiency is a key design factor of routing protocol. As a solution for the efficient data dissemination, in this paper, we propose a protocol namely Hierarchical Data Dissemination (HDD) which provides scalable and efficient data delivery to multiple sources and mobile sinks. HDD uses the facts that sink nodes are central gathering Points and source-centric data forwarding paths are constructed and it is maintained with two-tier communications. The performance of HDD is compared with TTDD about the energy consumption, data delivery time and data success ration. The extensive simulation results show that HDD Routing Protocol outperforms TIDD by more than $1.5{\sim}3times$ on energy consumption.

Wireless Sensor Network collects a data from the specific area and the control is composed of small sensor nodes. Like this sensors to after that is established at the beginning are operated with the battery, the operational duration until several years must be continued from several months and will be able to apply the resources which is restricted in efficiently there must be. In this paper RHC (rounting history cache) applies in Directed Diffusion which apply a data central concept a reliability and an efficiency in data transfer course set. RHC algorithms which proposes each sensor node updated RHC of oneself with periodic and because storing the optimization course the course and, every event occurrence hour they reset the energy is wasted the fact that a reliability with minimization of duplication message improved.

The key in wireless sensor networks, which consist of a number of sensor nodes, is an energy efficiency. Many routing protocols have been proposed for prolonging network lifetime and reducing traffic in wireless sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks usually use wireless ad-hoc network protocols for routing, but these protocols are not well-suited for wireless sensor networks due to many reasons. In this paper, RM-flooding protocol is proposed for reducing routing overhead occurred when packet flooding. The nodes using this routing protocol can consume the limited energy effectively, and exchange information with remote nodes usulg information receiving from multipath. So, RM-flooding prolongs the network's lifetime.

최근 마이크로 센서와 무선 통신 기술의 진보는 센서 네트워크의 발전을 가능하게 하였다. 이와 같은 사실은 무선 센서 네트워크를 위한 수많은 라우팅 프로토콜의 개발로 이어졌으며, 다양한 구조의 알고리즘들이 제안되었다. 특히, 디렉티드 디퓨젼(Directed Diffusion; DD)은 데이터 중심 기반의 라우팅 알고리즘으로 속성 칼 쌍을 이용하여 통신하는 센서 네트워크의 한 패러다임이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 기존의 DD에서는 작업을 요청하는 질의 메시지(interest message)가 전체 센서 네트워크에 플러딩(flooding)되는데, 이러한 과정은 에너지 소비 측면에서 볼 때 매우 비효율적이라고 할 수 있다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 센서 노드의 에너지와 밀도 정보를 고려한 임계값을 이용하여 데이터의 전송 지역을 제한함으로서, 네트워크의 에너지 소비를 줄일 수 있는 새로운 메시지 전달영역 제한기법(propagation limiting method; PLM)을 제안한다. 퍼지 규칙 기반 시스템은 센서 필드에 배치된 노드들의 에너지와 밀도 정보를 입력 파라미터로 사용하여 메시지 라우팅을 위한 임계값 결정에 사용된다 본 연구에서 제안된 기법을 사용하여 센서 네트워크의 에너지 소비를 실험한 결과 기존에 제안되었던 알고리즘들에 비해 상대적으로 높은 효율성을 나타내었으며, 전체적으로 네트워크의 수명도 연장할 수 있었다.

In this paper, new data centric storage that is dynamically adapted to the change of work load is proposed. The proposed data centric storage distributes the load of hot spot area by using multilevel grid technique. Also, the proposed method is able to use existing routing protocol such as GPSR (Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing) with small changes. Through simulation the proposed method enhances the lifetime of sensor networks over one of the state-of-the-art data centric storages. We implement the proposed method based on a operating system for sensor networks, and evaluate the performance through running based on a simulation tool.

Sensors in sensor networks are operated by their embedded batteries and they can not work any more if the batteries run out. The data collected by sensors should be transferred to a sink node through the efficient routes. Many energy efficient routing algorithms were proposed. However, the previous algorithms consume more energy since they did not consider the transmission range and direction. In this paper we propose an algorithm TDRP(Transmission range and Direction Routing Protocol) that considers the transmission range and direction for the efficient data transmission. Since TDRP does not produce clusters or grids but four quadrants and send data to the nodes in one quadrant in the direction of the sink node, it has less network overhead. Furthermore since the proposed algorithm sends data to the smaller number of nodes compared to the previous algorithms, the energy efficiency is better than other algorithms in communication node fields that are located in packet transmit directions.

Conventional routing protocols proposed for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) cannot fully accommodate the characteristics of WSNs. In particular, although it is possible to largely obtain benefits in the solution of energy consumption and global identification problems through applying position information, there are few protocols that actively apply such position information. In the case of geographical and energy aware routing (GEAR) that is a typical algorithm, which uses position information, it does not fully represent the characteristics of WSNs because it is limited to forward query messages and assumed as fixed network environments. The routing protocols proposed in this paper defines the direction of data, which is routed based on the position information of individual and target nodes, in which each node configures its next hop based on this direction and routes signals. Because it performs data-centric routing using position information, it does not require certain global identifications in order to verify individual nodes and is able to avoid unnecessary energy consumption due to the forwarding of packets by defining its direction.
