The sensor nodes that form a wireless sensor network must perform both routing and sensing roles, since each sensor node always has a regular energy drain. The majority of sensors being used in wireless sensor networks are either unmanned or operated in environments that make them difficult for humans to approach. Furthermore, since many wireless sensor networks contain large numbers of sensors, thus requiring the sensor nodes to be small in size and cheap in price, the amount of power that can be supplied to the nodes and their data processing capacity are both limited. In this paper, we proposes the WSN(Wireless Sensor Network) algorithm which is applied sensor node that has low power consumption and efficiency measurement. Moreover, the efficiency routing protocol is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm reduces power consumption of sensor node data communication. It has not researched in LEACH(Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) routing protocol. As controlling the active/sleep mode based on the measured data by sensor node, the energy consumption is able to be managed. In the event, the data is transferred to the local cluster head already set. The other side, this algorithm send the data as dependent on the information such as initial and present energy, and the number of rounds that are transformed into cluster header and then transferred. In this situation, the assignment of each node to cluster head evenly is very important. We selected cluster head efficiently and uniformly distributed the energy to each cluster node through the proposed algorithm. Consequently, this caused the extension of the WSN life time.

Recently, the study on wireless body area network for providing ubiquitous healthcare services has been actively done, including the standardization of the IEEE and others. Wireless body area network is usually configured in tree format using multi-hop communication mode due to the power limitation and the characteristics of human body. In this case, differently from existing sensor network, the wireless body area network tends to be disconnected due to the frequent movement of human body. The number of connections which can be supported at each node has some limitations due to the constraint imposed on power consumption. In this paper, we have proposed a heuristic algorithm for optimal selection of parent node with guaranteed QoS for a disconnected node, which considers the priority on packet transmission. Simulation has been performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

유비쿼터스 환경의 센서 노드들은 데이터 전달을 위해 무선 통신을 수행한다. 또한 노드들의 위치정보를 활용하면 통신 경로선택에 큰 이점을 가지게 된다. 그래서 이동성을 갖춘 센서 노드 위치를 정확히 측정하기 위해 별도의 GPS, 초음파 센서 등을 부착한다. 그러나 센서 네트워크는 제한된 전력 사용과 낮은 비용 유지가 요구된다. 또한 기존의 애드혹 기반의 위치측정과 전체 망의 생존성을 고려해야 하는 센서 네트워크간의 상황이 적용 모델의 변수로서 작용한다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨팅 자원이 부족한 센서 네트워크에서 다음의 조건을 만족하는 위치측정 방법을 제안한다. 첫째 빈번하게 이동하는 센서 노드의 이동성을 고려한다. 둘째 위치측정을 위한 별도의 장비를 추가하지 않는다. 셋째 노드의 송신출력 분석에 기반하여 상대적인 위치를 검출한다.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), location-based multicast routing (LMR) technique can increase the network life time and the channel capacity by reducing the number of duplicated data transmissions and control messages. However, previous LMR techniques can suffer from significant performance degradation due to concrete walls or other interfering objects deployed in the real environment, since they transmit the packets by using only the locations of the sensor nodes. To solve this problem, we propose an interference-aware location based multicast algorithm for WSNs. In the proposed algorithm, each node adjusts the energy cost for each link adaptively considering the interference effect and uses it for multicast decision in order to minimize the interference impact. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the delivery and energy performance when the network is affected by interference.

Energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks is a principal issue to prolong applications to track the movement of the large-scale phenomena. It is a selective wakeup approach that is an effective way to save energy in the networks. However, most previous studies with the selective wakeup scheme are concentrated on individual objects such as intruders and tanks, and thus cannot be applied for tracking continuous objects such as wild fire and poison gas. This is because the continuous object is pretty flexible and volatile due to its sensitiveness to surrounding circumferences so that movable area cannot be estimated by the just spatiotemporal mechanism. Therefore, we propose a cluster-based algorithm for applying the efficient and more accurate technique to the continuous object tracking in enough dense sensor networks. Proposed algorithm wakes up the sensors in unit cluster where target objects may be diffused or shrunken. Moreover, our scheme is asynchronous because it does not need to calculate the next area at the same time.

The mobile sink is most suitable to guarantee the real time processing to events in ubiquitous environment. However it brings many challenges to wireless sensor networks. In particular, the question of how to transfer the collected data to the mobile sink is an important topic in the aspect of effective management of wireless sensor nodes. In this paper, a new data dissemination model is proposed. Since this method uses the home agent and the access node concepts, it provides reliable and efficient data delivery to mobile sink with minimum overhead. In this proposed method, the information of the mobile sink which is constantly moving is informed only to the home agent node and the access node, instead of all sensor nodes. Thus, the collected data from sensor nodes are transferred to the fixed home agent and it sends these data to the mobile sink. Since the confliction phenomenon between data packets in wireless networks could be reduced, the success ratio of data arriving in the mobile sink is highly enhanced. In our experiments, the proposed method reduces the number of broadcast packets so that it saves the amount of energy consumed for transmitting and receiving the data packets. This effect contributes to prolong the lifetime of the wireless sensor networks operated by batteries.
