Geographic routing protocols are very attractive choice for routing in wireless sensor networks because they have been shown to scale better than other alternatives. Under certain ideal conditions, geographic routing works correctly and efficiently. The most commonly used geographic routing protocols include greedy forwarding coupled with face routing. Existing face routing algorithms use planarization techniques that rely on the unit-graph assumption. In real world, many conditions violate the unit-graph assumption of network connectivity, such as location errors, communication voids and radio irregularity, cause failure in planarization and consequently face routing. In this paper, we propose the direction-based geographic routing, which enables energy efficient routing under realistic conditions without planarization techniques. Our proposed approach is for the case in which many sensors need to collect data and send it to a central node. Simulation results show that the protocol exhibits superior performances in terms of energy consumption, delivery success rate, and outperforms the compared protocols.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) consisting of a largenumber of sensors aims to gather data in a variety of environments and is beingused and applied in many different fields. The sensor nodes composing a sensornetwork operate on battery of limited power and as a result, high energyefficiency and long network lifetime are major goals of research in the WSN. Inthis paper we propose a novel cluster-based local multi-hop routing protocolthat enhances the overall energy efficiency and guarantees reliability in thesystem. The proposed protocol minimizes energy consumption for datatransmission among sensor nodes by forming a multi-hop in the cluster.Moreover, through local cluster head rotation scheme, it efficiently manageswaste of energy caused by frequent formation of clusters which was an issue inthe existing methods. Simulation results show that our scheme enhances energyefficiency and ensure longer network time in the sensor network as comparedwith existing schemes such as LEACH, LEACH-C and PEACH.

WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) based on low-power is one of the core technologies in the ubiquitous society. In this paper, we present a border surveillance and control system in WSN environment. The system consists of static sensor node, mobile sensor node, static gateway, mobile gateway, server and mobile application. Mobile applications are divided into user mode and manager mode. So users monitor border surveillance through mobile phone and get information of border network environment without time and space constraints. In manager mode, for the flexible operation of nodes, manager can update to the software remotely and adjust the position of the mobile node. And also we implement a suitable multi-hop routing protocol for scalable low-power sensor nodes and confirm that the system operates well in WSN environment.

In this paper, we proposed the real-time bio-signals monitoring system that is based on the ZigBee wireless sensor network and SIP. This system makes medical team and user easily confirm user's medical state irrelative to their location and time. The communication between medical sensors and the user's end device uses the ZigBee wireless sensor network. The power consumption was decreased because wireless sensor network does not use the Ad-hoc routing protocol but routing protocol that is based on tree structure. Our proposed system includes a wireless user's end device, monitoring console, SIP server and database server. This real-time bio-signals monitoring system makes possible to implement the U-health care services and improving efficiency of medical treatment services.

Wireless Ad hoc Network is threatened from many types of attacks because of its open structure, dynamic topology and the absence of infrastructure. Attacks by malicious nodes inside the network destroy communication path and discard packet. The damage is quite large and detecting attacks are difficult. In this paper, we proposed attack detection technique using secure authentication infrastructure for efficient detection and prevention of internal attack nodes. Cluster structure is used in the proposed method so that each nodes act as a certificate authority and the public key is issued in cluster head through trust evaluation of nodes. Symmetric Key is shared for integrity of data between the nodes and the structure which adds authentication message to the RREQ packet is used. ns-2 simulator is used to evaluate performance of proposed method and excellent performance can be performed through the experiment.

Effective link quality estimation is a vital issue for reliable routing in wireless networks. This paper studies the performance of expected transmission count (ETX) under different traffic loads. Although ETX shows good performance under light load, its performance gets significantly worse when the traffic load is high. A broadcast packet storm due to new route discoveries severely affects the link ETX values under high traffic load, which makes it difficult to find a good path. This paper presents the design and implementation of a variation of ETX called high load - ETX (HETX), which reduces the impact of route request broadcast packets to link metric values under high load. We also propose a reliable routing protocol using link quality metrics, which is called link quality distance vector (LQDV). We conducted the evaluation of the performance of three metrics - HETX, ETX and minimum hop-count. The simulation results show that HETX improves the average route throughput by up to 25% over ETX under high traffic load. Minimum hop-count has poor performance compared with both HETX and ETX at all of the different traffic loads. Under light load, HETX and ETX show the same performance.

MPLS is a integrated technology by using routing function and label swapping in the network layer. Based on the previous forwarding equivalence classes, it adds the fixed length label in ingress of the MPLS domain. For the routing, without the packet header information, it uses label for the forwarding decisions. In this paper, traffic engineering requirements in the MPLS internet will be setup. The traffic engineering function have to be performed previously with the network topology. In addition to, we presents the IP network topology and main function with MPLS signaling protocol.

Routing protocol using in the existing wire network cannot be used as it is for efficient data transmission in MANET. Because it consists of only mobile nodes, network topology is changing dynamically. Therefore, each mobile node must perform router functions. Variety of routing attack like DoS in MANET is present owing to these characteristic. In this paper, we proposed cooperative-based detection method to improve detection performance of flooding attack which paralyzes network by consuming resource. Accurate attack detection is done as per calculated adaptively threshold value considered the amount of all network traffic and the number of nodes. All the mobile nodes used a table called NHT to perform collaborative detection and apply cluster structure to the center surveillance of traffic.

Wireless sensor network(WSN) is made up of a lot of battery operated inexpensive sensors that, once deployed, can not be replaced. Therefore, energy efficiency of WSN is essential. Among the methods for energy efficiency of the network, clustering algorithms, which divide a WSN into multiple smaller clusters and separate all sensors into cluster heads and their associated member nodes, are very energy efficient routing technique. The first cluster-based routing protocol, LEACH, randomly elects the cluster heads in accordance with the probability. However, if the distribution of selected cluster heads is not good, uniform energy consumption of cluster heads is not guaranteed and it is possible to decrease the number of active nodes. Here we propose a new routing scheme that, by comparing the remaining energy of all nodes in a cluster, selects the maximum remaining energy node as a cluster head. Because of decrease in energy gap of nodes, the node that was a cluster head operates as a member node much over. As a result, the network lifespan is increased and more data arrives at base station.
