In this paper, we propose an optimization algorithm that maximizes the network lifetime in wireless ad-hoc networks using the broadcast transmission method. The optimization algorithm proposed in this paper applies tabu search algorithm, a metaheuristic method that improves the local search method using the memory structure. The proposed tabu search algorithm proposes efficient encoding and neighborhood search method to the network lifetime maximization problem. By applying the proposed method to design efficient broadcast routing, we maximize the lifetime of the entire network. The proposed tabu search algorithm was evaluated in terms of the energy consumption of all nodes in the broadcast transmission occurring in the network, the time of the first lost node, and the algorithm execution time. From the performance evaluation results under various conditions, it was confirmed that the proposed tabu search algorithm was superior to the previously proposed metaheuristic algorithm.

Routing through a backbone, which is responsible for performing and managing multipoint communication, reduces the communication overhead and overall energy consumption in wireless sensor networks. However, the backbone nodes will need extra functionality and therefore consume more energy compared to the other nodes. The power consumption imbalance among sensor nodes may cause a network partition and failures where the transmission from some sensors to the sink node could be blocked. Hence optimal construction of the backbone is one of the pivotal problems in sensor network applications and can drastically affect the network's communication energy dissipation. In this paper a distributed algorithm is proposed to generate backbone trees through robust multi-hop clusters in wireless sensor networks. The main objective is to form a properly designed backbone through multi-hop clusters by considering energy level and degree of each node. Our improved cluster head selection method ensures that energy is consumed evenly among the nodes in the network, thereby increasing the network lifetime. Comprehensive computer simulations have indicated that the newly proposed scheme gives approximately 10.36% and 24.05% improvements in the performances related to the residual energy level and the degree of the cluster heads respectively and also prolongs the network lifetime.

The wireless sensor network is used to get information that location tracing or data of surrounding areas. Unnecessary retransmission request or many energy consumption because the transmission over the wireless links. In order to select the link of reliable and energy efficient to estimate the quality of radio link technique is required using RSSI, LQI, and so on. In this paper, each path between the sensor nodes, a small in the path within standard deviation of shall be determined the priority. Each path a high priority of the node values, respectively LQI is accumulated. Node can be selected the high LQI value path. Among them the less hop count to select the path is proposed. The proposed algorithm is removed the paths of shorten life using high the LQI value of the entire and high hop count even less variation. So its advantage that the sensor nodes can be selected more reliable path.

Wireless sensors play important roles in various areas as ubiquitous computing is generalized. Depending on applications properties, each sensor can be equipped with limited computing power in addition to general function of gathering environment-related information. One of main issues in this environment is to improve energy-efficiency in sensor nodes. In this paper, we devise a new attribute-query processing algorithm. Each sensor has to maintain partial information locally about attributes values gathered at its all descendent nodes. As the volume is higher, however, the maintenance cost also increases. And the update cost also has to be considered in the proposed algorithm. Thus, some bits, AVB(Attribute-Value Bits), are delivered instead of the value itself, where each bit represents a bound of attribute. Thus, the partial information can decrease the number of exchanged messages with a little cost during query processing. Through simulation works, the proposed algorithm is analyzed from several points of view.

In MANET(mobile ad hoc network), Mobility models vary according to the application-specific goals. The most widely used Random WayPoint Mobility Model(RWPMM) is advantageous because it is simple and easy to implement, but the random characteristic of nodes' movement is not enough to express the mobile characteristics of the entire sensor nodes' movements. The random mobility model is insufficient to express the inherent movement characteristics of the entire sensor nodes' movements. In the proposed Stochastic mobility model, To express the overall nodes movement characteristics of the network, the moving nodes are treated as random variables having a specific probability distribution characteristic. The proposed Stochastic mobility model is more stable and energy-efficient than the existing random mobility model applies to the routing protocol to ensure improved performances in terms of energy efficiency.

Communications for mobile sink groups such as rescue teams or platoons bring about a new challenging issue for handling mobility in wireless sensor networks. To do this, many studies have been proposed to support mobile sink groups. When closely looking at mobile sink groups, they can be divided into (multiple) small groups according to the property of applications. For example, a platoon can be divided into multiple squads to carry out its mission in the battle field. However, the previous studies cannot efficiently support the division of mobile sink groups because they do not address three challenging issues engendered by the mobile sink group division. The first issue is to select a leader sink for a new small mobile sink group. The efficient data delivery from a source to small mobile sink groups is the second issue. Last, the third issue is to share data between leader sinks of small mobile sink groups. Thus, this paper proposes a routing protocol to efficiently support the division of mobile sink groups by solving the three challenging issues. For the first issue, the proposed protocol selects a leader sink of a new small mobile sink group which provide a minimum summation of the distance between the new leader sink and the previous leader sink and the distance from the new leader sink to all of its member sinks. For the efficient data delivery from a source to small mobile sink groups in the second issue, the proposed protocol determines the path to minimize the data dissemination distance from source to small mobile sink group by calculating with the location information of both the source and the leader sinks. With regard to the third issue, the proposed protocol exploits member sinks located among leader sinks to provide efficient data sharing among leaders sinks by considering the location information of member sinks. Simulation results verified that the proposed protocol is superior to the previous protocol in terms of the energy consumption.

This paper presents a simultaneous solution algorithm for one-dimensional unsteady flow routing through a dendritic channel system. This simulations solution algorithm is based on the double-sweep method and utilizes separate recursion equations for continuity, momentum and energy equations for each of the individual components of a dendritic channel system. Through separate recursion equations for each of the components. the new algorithm converts a dendritic channel network problem into a single-channel problem. The new algorithm is utilized in conjunction with a linearized unsteady flow model using full dynamic flow equations. The required computer storage for the coefficient matrix of the whole system is reduced significantly from the $2N{\times}2N$ matrix to a $2N{\times}4$ matrix, where N is the number of cross sections used in the computation of flow variables in a dendritic channel system. The algorithm presented in this paper provides an efficient and accurate modeling of unsteady flow events through a dendritic channel system.

In mobile ad hoc networks, an application scenario requires mostly group mobility behavior in the mix of group moving nodes and individually moving nodes. The nodes of those applications tend to belong to the movement group with similar movement behavior. Group mobility is one of the good methods to improve scalability, and reduces the protocol overhead. In this paper, we propose the multicast architecture which regards nodes that have equal group mobility in the heterogeneous group mobility network as the single entity with the multiple interfaces and composes multicast tree, The logical cooperative entity-based multicast architecture accommodates the scalability, the multicast tree simplification, and the protocol overhead reduction which arc obtained from the hierarchical multicast architecture, while it maintains the nat multicast architecture for the data transmission. It also prevents the concentration of the energy consumption dispersing data forwarding load into the several ingress/egress nodes. Results obtained through simulations show that logical cooperative entity based multicast protocol with multiple interfaces offers the protocol scalability and the efficient data transmission.

Previous research on sensor networks mainly focused on efficient transmission of data from sensors to fixed sink nodes. Recently there has been active research on mobile sink nodes, but the re-search of an environment where both fixed sink nodes and mobile sinks are present at the same time is rather scarce. This paper proposes a technique for context gathering by mobile devices with the sink functionality added through fixed sinks under a previously built, cluster based multi hop sensor network environment. To this end, clustering of mobile devices were done based on the fixed sinks of a previously built sensor network, and by using appropriate fixed sinks, context gathering was made possible. By mathematical comparison with TTDD routing protocol, which was proposed for mobile sinks, it was conformed that performance increases in energy with the number of mobile sinks, and with the number of movements by mobile devices.

모바일 환경에서는 모바일 기기의 제한된 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하는 것이 요구된다. 특히 모바일 Peer-to-Peer(P2P) 시스템에서 모바일 기기가 피어로서 저장된 에너지를 모두 소모하면 더 이상파일 탐색 등과 같은 작업에 참여할 수 없게 된다. 또한 에너지가 없는 피어가 증가하게 되면 파일탐색 실패율이 증가하게 되고, 결국 파일탐색이 불가능하게 된다. 슈퍼피어(super peer)를 기반으로 한 계층적 P2P 시스템은 기존 단일 계층 P2P 시스템보다 더 적은 양의 메시지로 파일탐색을 가능하게 해준다. 하지만 하나의 슈퍼피어가 관리하는 서브피어(sub-peer)가 많을 경우, 서브피어의 관리 비용과 파일 탐색 요청의 증가로 슈퍼피어의 에너지 소모 비율이 크게 증가하게 되며, 이로 인해 네트워크 참여 시간이 줄어들게 된다. 이는 전체 네트워크 유지시간 감소에 영향을 미친다. 본 논문은 무선 통신 기반의 모바일 환경에서 슈퍼피어를 기반으로 한 계층적 P2P 시스템을 기반으로, 슈퍼피어가 관리하는 서브피어들의 수를 제한하고, 만약 일정한 수를 초과하였을 경우, 초과한 슈퍼피어의 서브피어들 중에서 새로운 슈퍼피어를 선정하고, 기존 슈퍼피어로부터 일부 서브피어들을 분배하여 관리하게 하는 시스템을 제안하였다. 실험을 통해 성능을 평가 하였으며, 실험 결과 파일 탐색 요청을 위한 네트워크 유지시간이 더 오래 지속됨을 확인하였다.
