Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSN) are usually constrained in energy supply, which makes energy efficiency a key factor to extend the network lifetime. The management of the network topology has been widely used as a mechanism to enhance the lifetime of wireless sensor networks (WSN), and this work presents an alternative to this. Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a well-known technology in data center applications that separates the data and control planes during the network management. This paper proposes a solution based on SDN that optimizes the energy use in MWSN. The network intelligence is placed in a controller that can be accessed through different controller gateways within a MWSN. This network intelligence runs a Topology Control (TC) mechanism to build a backbone of coordinator nodes. Therefore, nodes only need to perform forwarding tasks, they reduce message retransmissions and CPU usage. This results in an improvement of the network lifetime. The performance of the proposed solution is evaluated and compared with a distributed approach using the OMNeT++ simulation framework. Results show that the network lifetime increases when 2 or more controller gateways are used.

무선 센서 네트워크는 센서 노드와 기지국으로 구성되며, 사람이 직접적으로 접근하기 어려운 장소에 노드들이 광범위하게 배치되어 화재나 특정 상황의 정보를 수신하고, 수신된 정보를 기지국까지 전달하여 실시간 감시나 유통, 의료 등 다양한 분야에 활용되고 있다. 또한 최근에는 이러한 무선 센서 네트워크에 이동성을 추가하여 야생동물의 실태조사, 해양생태계 모니터링 등의 응용으로 확대한 모바일 무선 센서 네트워크의 유용성이 증가하는 추세이다. 모바일 무선 센서 네트워크에서 중요한 고려 사항은 이동성과 에너지 소모량이다. 각 센서 노드는 제한된 에너지를 보유하기 때문에 데이터 송신에 소모되는 에너지가 클 경우, 전체 네트워크 수명에 많은 영향을 준다. 따라서 센서 노드에서 센싱된 정보를 기지국으로 전송하는 효율적인 방법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 센서 네트워크에서 2계층 클러스터링을 이용한 에너지 소비 모델을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 클러스터를 2계층으로 구분하여 이동성을 고려하고 에너지 소모를 줄인다. 또한 에너지 소모량 모델을 제시하여 이제까지 제안된 여러 클러스터링 기법의 에너지 소모량을 비교 분석한다. 실험을 통해 이전의 모바일 센서 네트워크 클러스터링 기법보다 네트워크 에너지 효율성이 향상됨을 입증한다.

With the increasing demands for mobile wireless sensor networks in recent years, designing an energy-efficient clustering and routing protocol has become very important. This paper provides an analytical model to evaluate the power consumption of a mobile sensor node. Based on this, a clustering algorithm is designed to optimize the energy efficiency during cluster head formation. A genetic algorithm technique is employed to find the near-optimal threshold for residual energy below which a node has to give up its role of being the cluster head. This clustering algorithm along with a hybrid routing concept is applied as the near-optimal energy-efficient routing technique to increase the overall efficiency of the network. Compared to the mobile low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy protocol, the simulation studies reveal that the energy-efficient routing technique produces a longer network lifetime and achieves better energy efficiency.

A Mobile Sensor Network is widely used in real time applications. A critical need in Mobile Sensor Network is to achieve energy efficiency during routing as the sensor nodes have scarce energy resource. The nodes' mobility in MWSN poses a challenge to design an energy efficient routing protocol. Clustering helps to achieve energy efficiency by reducing the organization complexity overhead of the network which is proportional to the number of nodes in the network. This paper proposes"EERA: Energy Efficient Routing Algorithm for Mobile Sensor Network" is divided into five phases. 1, Cluster Formation 2.Cluster head and Transmission head selection 3.Path Establishment / Route discovery and 4,Data Transmission. Experimental Analysis has been done and is found that the proposed method performs better than the existing method with respect to four parameters.

In multi-channel wireless sensor networks, optimizing data aggregation delay without any channels and timeslots conflicts has been concerned these days. The aggregation delay can be reduced by using different aggregation tree construction methods or scheduling in different methods in bottom-up or top-down manners. In this paper, we propose a new way of constructing aggregation tree purposing to decrease the total aggregation delay. The result shows that our proposed scheme can improve up to 64% comparing with state-of-the-art schemes.

Aggregating data with an optimal delay, which is a critical problem in Wireless Sensor Networks applications, is proven as NP-hard. In this paper, we focus on optimizing the aggregation delay by presenting an idea for channel and timeslot co-scheduling data aggregation in MWSNs. The proposed scheme, which names Break and Join, maximizes the number of sensor nodes to be scheduled in a working period, so that the overall number of working periods and data collection delay are reduced.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are one of the basic building blocks of Internet of Things (IoT) systems. However, the wireless sensing nodes in WSNs suffer from energy constraint issues because the replacement/recharging of the batteries of the nodes tends to be difficult. Furthermore, a number of realistic IoT scenarios, such as habitat and battlefield monitoring, contain mobile sensing elements, which makes the energy issues more critical. This research paper focuses on realistic WSN scenarios that involve mobile sensing elements with the aim of mitigating the attendant energy constraint issues using the concept of radio-frequency (RF) energy extraction. The proposed technique incorporates a cluster head election workflow for WSNs that includes mobile sensing elements capable of RF energy harvesting. The extensive simulation analysis demonstrated the higher efficacy of the proposed technique compared with the existing techniques in terms of residual energy, number of functional nodes, and network lifetime, with approximately 50% of the nodes found to be functional at the 4000th, 5000th, and 6000th rounds for the proposed technique with initial energies of 0.25, 0.5 and 1 J, respectively.
