Wireless sensor networks consist of thousands of sensor nodes that have low power, low footprint and low computational capacities. So the burning issues in the design and deployment of these sensor nodes in the practical application areas include the energy conservation and network lifetime. Efficient routing schemes can help reduce the energy consumption and thus increase the network lifetime. This paper deals with the comparative analysis of popular routing protocols such as LEACH, LEACH-C, MTE, and PEGASIS. The protocols are compared by using performance me tries such as system lifetime, the time for first node death, and total system energy.

유선망에 최적화되도록 진화해온 TCP는 무선망이 가지는 링크의 불안정함으로 인한 손실을 네트워크의 혼잡으로 인한 손실로 오해한다. 그 결과 혼잡 제어 메커니즘이 수행되어 불필요하게 전송율을 줄이므로써 전송 성능을 저하시키는 문제점을 초래한다. 이러한 이유로 최근 유 무선 혼합망에서 TCP의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 제안된 성능향상 기법들 중 상대적으로 뛰어난 성능을 보이는 Snoop 프로토콜이 유 무선 혼합망 특히 IEEE 802.11 MAC 프로토콜을 사용하는 무선망에서 가지는 문제점을 분석하고, Cross-layering 기법을 통하여 이를 보완하는 기법을 제안한다.

최근 무선 통신 기술과 전자 기술의 진보로 지능형 센서(Smart Sensor)를 이용한 무선 센서 네트워크 구축이 가능해졌고, 이러한 센서 네트워크는 최근 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅과 Ad-Hoc 네트워크에서 많이 연구되고 있는 새로운 이슈이다. 최근 센서관련 논문에서는 각 센서 노드의 제한된 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하기 위해 데이터 전송이 없을 경우 노드의 통신 모듈을 Sleep 시킴으로써 에너지를 절약 한다. 이를 위해서 모든 센서 노드들은 동기화를 맞추어 listen과 sleep를 주기적으로 반복해야 한다. 이러한 프로토콜들에서 발생하는 가장 큰 문제는 에너지 효율성과 데이터 전송 지연간의 반비례 관계이다. 에너지의 효율성을 위해 Sleep 시간을 길게 할수록, Sleep 시간에서 발생한 데이터의 지연 시간도 길어지게 되므로, 데이터의 지연을 고려하여 sleep 시간을 적당히 조정해야 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 효율성을 위해 listen/sleep 주기를 사용하면서도 데이터 지연을 최소화 할 수 있는 효율적 sleep 시간에 대해 논의 해 보려 한다.

Reducing the energy that consumed by tag is a key requirement for the wider acceptance of the active RFID systems that use battery constrained tags. When the reader is not interrogating, the active RFID standard protocols try to reduce energy consumption of tags by using sleep mode. On sleep mode tags is active by receiving a specific signals from reader, until tag receive a sleep mode command from the reader, a tag waste energy for remaining in RX mode. Overhearing is a state of a tag in which it wastes energy for maintaining active RX state while there is no frame destined to it. According to our analysis, the amount of energy consumed by a tag due to overhearing is several time larger than that consumed by the effective communication. We propose RANO(Reservation Aloha for No Overhearing) that is designed to inform a tag of its effective communication intervals to eliminate overhearing problem in active RFID communication. The performance of the proposed protocol was evaluated through the real world by changing the number of tags and size of data. The result of an experiment, the proposed protocol performed saving about 22 times less than the standard protocol did.

Environmental issues and the need to reduce energy consumption for lowering operating costs have pushed power efficiency to become one of the major issues of current research in the field of wireless networks. This paper addresses a number of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) precoding and scheduling techniques across the PHY and MAC layers that can operate under a reduced link budget and collectively improve the transmit power efficiency of a base station, while maintaining the same levels of service. Different MIMO transmission and precoding schemes proposed for LTE, achieving varying degrees of multiuser diversity in both the time, frequency as well as the space domain, are examined. Several fairness-aware resource allocation algorithms are applied to the considered MIMO schemes and a detailed analysis of the tradeoffs between power efficiency and quality of service is presented. This paper explicitly examines the performance of a system serving real-time, VoIP traffic under different traffic loading conditions and transmit power levels. It is demonstrated that by use of efficient scheduling and resource allocation techniques significant savings in terms of consumed energy can be achieved, without compromising QoS.

Directional sensor networks (DSNs) can significantly improve the performance of a network by employing energy efficient communication protocols. Neighbor discovery is a vital part of medium access control (MAC) and routing protocol, which influences the establishment of communication between neighboring nodes. Neighbor discovery is a challenging task in DSNs due to the limited coverage provided by directional antennas. Furthermore, in these networks, communication can only take place when the beams of the directional antennas are pointed toward each other. In this article, we propose a novel multiple token-based neighbor discovery (MuND) protocol, in which multiple tokens are transmitted based on an area exploration algorithm. The performance of the protocol is evaluated using the Cooja simulator. The simulation results reveal that the proposed MuND protocol achieves lower neighbor discovery latency, with a 100% neighbor discovery ratio, and has a relatively low communication overhead and low energy consumption.

In this paper, we propose a QoS guaranteed and energy-efficient transmission scheme for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs), which operate in conjunction with contention-based access protocols such as CSMA/CA. Energy consumption is one of the most important issues in WPAN systems, because WPAN devices are often required to operate under limited battery capacity. Furthermore, if the WPAN adopts a contention-based medium access protocol, the energy consumption problem becomes even more critical due to the collisions caused by independent channel access trials. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an algorithm that selects the optimum fragment size, modulation level, and transmission power, in order to minimize the energy consumption and guaranteethe QoS (Quality of Service) requirements, simultaneously. Our simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance than the previous ones.

The aim of this research is to model the behaviour of recently developed high force to volume (HF2V) passive energy dissipation devices using a simple finite element (FE) model. Thus, the end result will be suitable for use in a standard FE code to enable computationally fast and efficient analysis and design. Two models are developed. First, a detailed axial model that models an experimental setup is created to validate the approach versus experimental results. Second, a computationally and geometrically simpler equivalent rotational hinge element model is presented. Both models are created in ABAQUS, a standard nonlinear FE code. The elastic, plastic and damping properties of the elements used to model the HF2V devices are based on results from a series of quasi-static force-displacement loops and velocity based tests of these HF2V devices. Comparison of the FE model results with the experimental results from a half scale steel beam-column sub-assembly are within 10% error. The rotational model matches the output of the more complex and computationally expensive axial element model. The simpler model will allow computationally efficient non-linear analysis of large structures with many degrees of freedom, while the more complex and physically accurate axial model will allow detailed analysis of joint connection architecture. Their high correlation to experimental results helps better guarantee the fidelity of the results of such investigations.
