Wireless sensor networks consist of small battery powered devices with limited energy resources. Once deployed, the small sensor nodes are usually inaccessible to the user, and thus replacement of the energy source is not feasible. Hence, energy efficiency is a key design issue that needs to be enhanced in order to improve the life span of the network. Directed Diffusion is a well known routing protocol. In this paper we adopt the clustering mechanism to improve the efficiency of Directed Diffusion. We introduce C-Directed Diffusion which make clusters, select the CH(Cluster Head) and CHs do the same process as in Directed Diffusion. C-Directed Diffusion is pretty simple and show better performance than Directed Diffusion.

Sensor networks consist of small nodes with sensing, computation, and wireless communications capabilities. A number of routing protocols to transmit the data between the base station and sensor nodes have been proposed. Intanagonwiwat et al. proposed the directed diffusion in which the base station sends interest messages and waits for data from the nodes in the specific regions. Since the directed diffusion propagates every interest message to whole nodes in the network, it causes energy dissipation of nodes. In this paper, we propose a novel data propagation method, which limits the data transmission area according to a threshold value for reducing the energy consumption in the network. A fuzzy logic is exploited to determine the threshold value by considering the energy and density of all the deployed nodes. The simulation models are designed and implemented based on DEVS formalism which is theoretically well grounded means of expressing discrete event simulation models.

In this paper, We propose a transaction signing-based authentication scheme for protecting sinkhole attacks in wireless sensor networks. Sinkhole attack makes packets that flow network pass through attacker. So, Sinkhole attack can be extended to various kind of attacks such as denial of service attacks, selective delivery or data tamper etc. We analyze sinkhole attack methods in directed diffusion based wireless sensor networks. For the purpose of response to attack method, Transaction signing-based authentication scheme is proposed. This scheme can work for those sensor networks which use directed diffusion based wireless sensor networks. The validity of proposed scheme is provided by BAN logic.

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.
