In general, a large-scale wireless sensor network(WSNs) is composed of hundreds of or thousands of sensor nodes. In this large-scale wireless sensor networks, it is required to maintain and manage the networks to lower management cost and obtain high energy efficiency. Users should be provided with sensing service at the level of quality for users through an efficient system. In evaluating the result data quality provided from this network to users, the number of sensors related to event detection has an important role. Accordingly, the network protocol which can provide proper QoS at the level of users demanding quality should be designed in a way such that the overall system function has not to be influenced even if some sensor nodes are in error. The energy consumption is minimized at the same time. The protocol suggested in this article is based on the LEACH protocol and is a role-based self-Organization one that is appropriate for large-scale networks which need constant monitoring.

대형 무선 센서 네트워크(WSNs)는 일반적으로 수백에서 수천 개의 센서 노드들로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 대형 WSNs에서는 네트워크의 수명연장을 위해서 비용 및 에너지를 고려한 에너지 효율성뿐만 아니라 네트워크의 유지 및 관리가 요구된다. 사용자는 효율적인 시스템을 통해서 사용자 수준의 센싱 서비스 품질이 제공받을 수 있어야 한다. 이 네트워크에서 사용자에게 제공되는 결과 데이터의 품질은 이벤트 검출에 관련된 센서들의 개수가 결정적인 역할을 한다. 그러므로 사용자 요구품질에 적합한 QoS를 제공할 수 있는 네트워크 프로토콜은 일부 센서 노드들에서 고장이 발생하더라고 전체 시스템 성능에 영향을 주지 않으면서, 동시에 에너지 소비가 최소화되도록 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 프로토콜은 LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) 프로토콜을 기반으로 하며, 지속적인 감시가 요구되는 대형 네트워크에 적합한 역할 기반의 자가 구성 프로토콜을 제안하였다.

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 recent years, researchers have been attracted to clustering methods to improve communication and data transmission in a network. Compared with traditional wireless networks, wireless sensor networks are energy constrained and have lower data rates. The concept of implementing a clustering algorithm in an existing project on gateway relocation is being explored here. Low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) is applied to an existing study on relocating a gateway. The study is further improved by moving the gateway to a specific cluster based on the number or significance of the events detected. The protocol is improved so that each cluster head can communicate with a mobile gateway. The cluster heads are the only nodes that can communicate with the mobile gateway when it (the mobile gateway) is out of the cluster nodes' transmission range. Once the gateway is in range, the nodes will begin their transmission of real-time data. This alleviates the load of the nodes that would be located closest to the gateway if it were static.

The Clustering technology of Energy efficiency wireless sensor network gets the energy efficiency by reducing the number of communication between sensor nodes and sink node. In this paper, First analyzed on the clustering technique of the distributed clustering protocol routing scheme LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) and HEED (Hybrid, Energy-Efficient Distributed Clustering Approach), and based on this, new energy-efficient clustering technique is proposed for the cause the maximum delay of dead nodes and to increase the lifetime of the network. In the proposed method, the cluster head is elect the optimal efficiency node based on the residual energy information of each member node and located information between sink node and cluster node, and elected a node in the cluster head since the data transfer process from the data been sent to the sink node to form a network by sending the energy consumption of individual nodes evenly to increase the network's entire life is the purpose of this study. To verify the performance of the proposed method through simulation and compared with existing clustering techniques. As a result, compared to the existing method of the network life cycle is approximately 5-10% improvement could be confirmed.

This paper presents an efficient user-cooperation protocol associated with cyclic coding for WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) using LEACH(Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy). Since the proposed user-cooperation requires no CSI(Channel State Information) at both transmitter and receiver, and encoding and decoding of cyclic codes are simple, the processing complexity of sensor nodes is significantly reduced. Simulation results reveal such a combination can save the network energy up to 10dB over single-hop transmission at BER of $10^{-4}$.

Recently, energy harvesting technology has been integrated into wireless sensor networks to ameliorate the nodes' energy limitation problem. In theory, the wireless sensor node equipped with an energy harvesting module can work permanently until hardware failures happen. However, due to the change of power supply, the traditional hierarchical network routing protocol can not be effectively adopted in energy harvesting wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we improve the Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol to make it suitable for the energy harvesting wireless sensor networks. Specifically, the cluster heads are selected according to the estimation of nodes' harvested energy and consumed energy. Preference is given to the nodes with high harvested energy while taking the energy consumption rate into account. The utilization of harvested energy is mathematically formulated as a max-min optimization problem which maximizes the minimum energy conservation of each node. We have proved that maximizing the minimum energy conservation is an NP-hard problem theoretically. Thus, a polynomial time algorithm has been proposed to derive the near-optimal performance. Extensive simulation results show that our proposed routing scheme outperforms previous works in terms of energy conservation and balanced distribution.

A simple modification of well known Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol is proposed to exploit cooperative diversity. Instead of selecting a single cluster-head, we propose M cluster-heads in each cluster to obtain a diversity of order M. The cluster-heads gather data from all the sensor nodes within the cluster using same technique as LEACH. Cluster-heads transmit gathered data cooperatively towards the destination or higher order cluster-head. We propose a code combining based cooperative diversity protocol which is similar to coded cooperation that maximizes the performance of the proposed cooperative LEACH protocol. The implementation of the proposed cooperative strategy is analyzed. We develop the upper bounds on bit error rate (BER) and frame error rate (FER) for our proposal. Space time block codes (STBC) are also a suitable candidate for our proposal. In this paper, we argue that the STBC performs worse than the code combining cooperation.

무선 센서 네트워크는 제한된 에너지를 가지는 작은 센서 노드들로 구성된다. 한번 배치된 센서 노드들은 유지보수 및 새로운 에너지의 공급이 어렵다. 따라서 각 노드가 가지는 제한된 에너지를 얼마나 효율적으로 사용하느냐가 무선 센서 네트워크의 수명에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 에너지 효율성 향상을 위해 연구된 LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy), LEACH-C(LEACH-Centralized), BCDCP(Base-station Controlled Dynamic Clustering Protocol)와 같은 클러스터링 기반의 계층적 라우팅 프로토콜들을 설명하고 그 문제점을 살펴본다. 그리고 그 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 방법으로 센서 필드의 노드와 싱크와의 거리를 고려한 새로운 클러스터링 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 클러스터링 기법에서 각 노드는 클러스터를 형성할 때 기존 방식에 비해 적은 역할을 수행함으로써 자신의 에너지를 보존할 수 있다.

This paper proposes to increase the node energy effienciecy, which rapidly drops during the transmission of LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierachy), using the method of DL-LEACH (Dual-hop Layered LEACH). By introducing dual-hop method in the data transmission, the proposed single-hop method for short-range transmission and multi-hop transmission method between the cluster heads for remote transmission was introduce. By introducing a partial multi-hop method in the data transmission, a single-hop method for short range transmission method between the cluster heads for remote transmission was introduces. In the proposed DL-LEACH, the energy consumption of cluster head for remote transmission reduces and increases the energy efficiency of sensor node by reducing the transmission distance and simplifying the transmission routine for short-range transmission. As compared the general LEACH, it was adapted to a wider sensor field.
