In this paper, we efficiently simulated for collecting the data from the fixed sensor and mobile sensor of patients using the LEACH-Mobile method. The LEACH-Mobile method is the protocol to increase the mobility by adding the mobile node to the existed LEACH(:Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) protocol. It improves the mobility of The LEACH-Mobile in the LEACH, however it consumes more energy than the existed LEACH. There is reason why we use the LEACH-Mobile that the monitoring system is generally done by the CCTV and an periodic checkup by nurses. However the number of nurse is a few in the most of hospital. It can happen the accidents of the patients in out of the CCTV when the nurse can not see the monitoring system in the hospital. Therefore it is simulated to continuously gather the data of the position and sensors in the five situation of moving the patients in the hospital, it gets the result that the management of the mobile patients is more efficient.

In this paper, propose an algorithm to improve network lifetime by equally consuming energy of LEACH - Mobile sensor nodes. LEACH is one of energy efficient protocols. However, we did not consider the mobility of nodes. Therefore, the transmission reception success rate of the moving data is reduced. LEACH-Mobile is a protocol that has improved the drawbacks of these LEACH. However, since LEACH-Mobile has a larger number of data packets and consumes more energy than LEACH, it has a disadvantage that the lifetime of the network is short. In order to improvement these disadvantage, Based on the average of the remaining energy of the node, cluster heads are elected with a number of nodes whose energies are larger than the average of the remaining energy from the member nodes. After that, by trying to increase the lifetime of the network by equalizing the remaining energy. In to confirm whether improve the lifetime of the network, In this paper, the number of nodes and the position of all nodes are varied for each specific round, the rest energy is equalized, and the algorithm which uniformly selected the cluster head is compared with LEACH.

The general sensor network uses bundle method to collect fixed information from sensor node. However, this method is difficult to actively cope with major sensing objects in healthcare environment including status and position change of person and change of surrounding environment. In order to support the healthcare environment, certain information should be provided in accordance with the change of status of person and surrounding circumstance and also must cope with the change of network type by movement of person. This paper analyzes LEACH protocol which guarantees effectiveness of network as it constitutes clusters between Agilla model that is a representative multi agent middle ware and surrounding nodes. Based on the result of this analysis, it suggests LEACH_Mobile protocol which guarantees node mobility that is the weakest point of LEACH protocol. Moreover, it designs mobility agent middleware which supports dynamic function change of node and mobility agent module which supports dynamic function change of mobile node as components of LEACH_Mobile routing module. In addition, it is definitely increase performance which in mobile node of transfer data rate through LEACH_Mobile protocol of simulation result.

The sensor network for the health care application service has the man or movable object as the main sensing object. In order to support inter-node interaction by the movement of such sensing objects, the node's dynamic function modification, dynamic self-configuration and energy efficiency must be considered. In this paper, the Agilla model which supports the dynamic function modification through the agent migration between nodes and LEACH protocol which guarantees the dynamic self-configuration and energy efficiency through the configuration of inter-node hierarchical cluster configuration are analyzed. Based on the results of the analysis, the Mobility Agent Middleware which supports the dynamic function modification between nodes is designed, and LEACH_Mobile protocol which guarantees the node nobility as the weakness of the existing LEACH protocol is suggested. Also, the routing module which supports the LEACH_Mobile protocol is designed and the interface for conjunction with Mobility Agent Middleware is designed. Then, it is definitely increase performance which un mobility node of transfer data rate through LEACH_Mobile protocol of simulation result.

Sensor Networks (WSNs) can be defined as a self-configured and infrastructure-less wireless networks to monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants and to cooperatively pass their data through the network to a main location or base-station where the data can be observed and analyzed. Typically a wireless sensor network contains hundreds of thousands of sensor nodes. The sensor nodes can communicate among themselves using radio signals. A wireless sensor node is equipped with sensing and computing devices, radio transceivers and power components. The individual nodes in a wireless sensor network (WSN) are inherently resource constrained: they have limited processing speed, storage capacity, communication bandwidth and limited-battery power. At present time, most of the research on WSNs has concentrated on the design of energy- and computationally efficient algorithms and protocols In order to extend the network life-time, in this paper we are looking into a routing protocol, especially LEACH and LEACH-related protocol. LEACH protocol is a representative routing protocol and improves overall network energy efficiency by allowing all nodes to be selected to the cluster head evenly once in a periodic manner. In LEACH, in case of movement of sensor nodes, there is a problem that the data transmission success rate decreases. In order to overcome LEACH's nodes movements, LEACH-Mobile protocol had proposed. But energy consumption increased because it consumes more energy to recognize which nodes moves and re-transfer data. In this paper we propose the new routing protocol considering nodes' mobility. In order to simulate the proposed protocol, we make a scenario, nodes' movements randomly and compared with the LEACH-Mobile protocol.

헬스케어 응용서비스를 위란 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 노드들은 주로 사람 또는 이동성을 가진 사물이며, 이들간의 상호작용을 통한 헬스케어 응용서비스를 지원하기 위해서는 노드의 동적 기능변경, 동적 자기구성, 에너지 효율성을 고려하여 개발되어야 한다. 이러한 요구사항들은 노드 상에 해당 기능을 수행하는 에이전트를 두어 대상의 이동에 따른 에이전트 전이를 통해 동적 기능변경을 수행 및 처리하고, 이동성을 지원하는 계층적 클러스터링 알고리즘을 적용하여 노드의 이동에 따른 동적 자기구성, 제한된 에너지의 효율성 등을 해결할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 노드간 에이전트 전이를 통해 동적 기능 변경을 보장하는 Agilla모델 기반 Healthcare Mobility Agent Middleware를 설계하고, 정보 전달의 효율성과 노드의 이동성을 보장하기 위해 LEACH 프로토콜 기반 LEACH_Mobile 프로토콜을 제안한다. 또한 여기서 제안하는 LEACH_Mobile 프로토콜과 Healthcare Mobility Agent Middleware를 연동하기 위한 인터페이스와 LEACH_Mobile 프로토콜을 수행하기 위한 라우팅 모듈을 설계하였다.

In this paper, we introduce an EMSP(Efficient Mobility Support Protocol) for mobile sensor network with mobility-aware. We propose virtual cluster and node split scheme considering movements of mobile nodes. The existing M-LEACH protocol suffers from communication cost spent on JOIN request information during invitation phase. To address this issue, the large boundary of the cluster in LUR-tree can reduce superfluous update cost. In addition to the expansion of the cluster, the proposed approach exploits node split algorithms used in R-tree in order to uniformly form a cluster. The simulated results show that energy-consumption has less up to about 40% than LEACH-C and 8% than M-LEACH protocol. Finally, we show that the proposed scheme outperforms those of other in terms of lifetime of sensor fields and scalability in wireless sensor network.

In this paper, we propose routing protocol for mobile wireless sensor networks with a mobile sink in cluster configuration. The proposed protocol extends LEACH-ME by introducing a mobile sink. The mobile sink moves to the cluster head with the highest number of member nodes to collect sensed data from cluster heads within its vicinity, which results in reducing energy consumption in forwarding packets to the sink. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol outperform LEACH-ME in terms of energy efficiency.
