One of the imminent problems to be solved within wireless sensor network is to balance out energy dissipation among deployed sensor nodes. In this paper, we present a transmission relay method of communications between BS (Base Station) and CHs (Cluster Heads) for balancing the energy consumption and extending the average lifetime of sensor nodes by the fuzzy logic application. The proposed method is designed based on LEACH protocol. The area deployed by sensor nodes is divided into two groups based on distance from BS to the nodes. RCH (Relay Cluster Head) relays transmissions from CH to BS if the CH is in the area far away from BS in order to reduce the energy consumption. RCH decides whether to relay the transmissions based on the threshold distance value that is obtained as a output of fuzzy logic system, Our simulation result shows that the application of fuzzy logic provides the better balancing of energy depletion and prolonged lifetime of the nodes.

Determining the hysteretic energy demand and dissipation capacity and level of damage of the structure to a predefined earthquake ground motion is a highly non-linear problem and is one of the questions involved in predicting the structure's response for low-performance levels (life safe, near collapse, collapse) in performance-based earthquake resistant design. Neural Network (NN) analysis offers an alternative approach for investigation of non-linear relationships in engineering problems. The results of NN yield a more realistic and accurate prediction. A NN model can help the engineer to predict the seismic performance of the structure and to design the structural elements, even when there is not adequate information at the early stages of the design process. The principal aim of this study is to develop and test multi-layered feedforward NNs trained with the back-propagation algorithm to model the non-linear relationship between the structural and ground motion parameters and the hysteretic energy demand in steel moment resisting frames. The approach adapted in this study was shown to be capable of providing accurate estimates of hysteretic energy demand by using the six design parameters.

Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) comprise a tremendously growing infrastructure for monitoring the physical or environmental conditions of objects. WSNs pose challenges to mitigating energy dissipation by constructing a reliable and energy saving network. In this paper, we propose a novel network construction and routing method by defining three different duties for sensor nodes, that is, node gateways, cluster heads, and cluster members, and then by applying a hierarchical structure from the sink to the normal sensing nodes. This method provides an efficient rationale to support the maximum coverage, to recover missing data with node mobility, and to reduce overall energy dissipation. All this should lengthen the lifetime of the network significantly.

The wireless sensor networks have been extensively researched. One of the issues in wireless sensor networks is a developing energy-efficient clustering protocol. Clustering algorithm provides an effective way to extend the lifetime of a wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we proposed an energy efficient clustering scheme by adjusting group size. In sensor network, the power consumption in data transmission between sensor nodes is strongly influenced by the distance of two nodes. And cluster size, that is the number of cluster member nodes, is also effected on energy consumption. Therefore we proposed the clustering scheme for high energy efficiency of entire sensor network by controlling cluster size according to the distance between cluster header and sink.

Data aggregation is a fundamental problem in wireless sensor networks which attracts great attention in recent years. Delay and energy efficiencies are two crucial issues of designing a data aggregation scheme. In this paper, we propose a distributed, energy efficient algorithm for collecting data from all sensor nodes with the minimum latency called Delay-aware Power-efficient Data Aggregation algorithm (DPDA). The DPDA algorithm minimizes the latency in data collection process by building a time efficient data aggregation network structure. It also saves sensor energy by decreasing node transmission distances. Energy is also well-balanced between sensors to achieve acceptable network lifetime. From intensive experiments, the DPDA scheme could significantly decrease the data collection latency and obtain reasonable network lifetime compared with other approaches.

As low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) end devices (EDs) are deployed in massive scale, their economic and environmental costs of operation are becoming too significant to ignore and too difficult to estimate. While LPWAN architectures and protocols are designed to primarily save energy, this study shows that energy saving does not necessarily lead to lower cost or environmental footprint of the network. Accordingly, a theoretical framework is proposed to estimate the operational expenditure (OpEx) and environmental footprint of LPWAN EDs. An extended constrained optimization model is provided for the ED link assignment to gateways (GWs) based on heterogeneous ED configurations and hardware specifications. Based on the models, a simulation framework is developed which demonstrates that OpEx, energy consumption, and environmental footprint can be in conflict with each other as constrained optimization objectives. We demonstrate different ways to achieve compromises in each dimension for overall improved network performance.

Energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks(EH-WSNs) can collect energy from the environment and overcome the technical limitations of existing power. Since the transmission distance in a wireless sensor network is limited, the data are delivered to the destination node through multi-hop routing. In EH-WSNs, the routing protocol should consider the power situations of nodes, which is determined by the remaining power and energy-harvesting rate. In addition, in applications such as environmental monitoring, when there are urgent data, the routing protocol should be able to transmit it stably and quickly. This paper proposes an adaptive routing protocol that satisfies different requirements of normal and urgent data. To extend network lifetime, the proposed routing protocol reduces power imbalance for normal data and also minimizes transmission latency by controlling the transmission power for urgent data. Simulation results show that the proposed adaptive routing can improve network lifetime by mitigating the power imbalance and greatly reduce the transmission delay of urgent data.

본 논문에서 에너지 효율적 이종망간 핸드오버를 지원하는 새로운 모바일 단말 소프트웨어 아키텍쳐를 제안한다. 기존 방식은 L3 핸드오버를 IETF Mobile IP에 의존하고 있어 Mobile IP가 가지는 이동성 검출 방식의 문제점을 그대로 가지며 동시에 이종의 네트워크 환경에 대한 어떠한 지원도 없으므로 중첩된 다중망 상황에서 불필요한 핸드오버를 자주 수행하게 되어 네트워크와 단말에 심각한 오버로드를 유발시킨다. 이에 반해 제안하는 방식은 단말기반의 망선택 및 전환을 수행하는 구조로서 단말에서 망상태를 주기적으로 모니터링하고 최적의 망을 선택하여 결정된 망으로의 L3 핸드오버 명령을 Mobile IP에 지시하는 형태로 불필요한 에너지 소모를 최소화한다. 망선택 방식은 단말의 속도 기반 망선택 및 전력소모 예측 등을 통해 핸드오버 대상이 될 망들을 선별한 후 단말이 요구하는 QoS, 네트워크 상태, 사용자의 선호도 및 단말의 배터리 상태 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 최종적으로 최적의 네트워크를 선택하는 방식을 취한다. 마지막으로 본 논문에서 제시하는 에너지 효율적 이종망간 핸드오버 아키텍쳐를 실제 단말에 적용하여 그 기능 및 성능을 검증한다.

무선 ad-hoc 네트워크 환경에서 이동 호스트의 배터리 수명을 최대화하는 것은 시스템의 수명과 성능을 향상시키므로 매우 중요하다. 이동 호스트들은 라우팅 역할을 수행하므로 네트워크의 구조와 이동 호스트들의 위치에 따라 이동 호스트들의 에너지 소비의 차이가 발생된다. 본 논문에서 각 이동 호스트는 에너지 트리를 유지하며, 메시지 트리 패킷을 이용하여 이웃 이동 호스트들의 에너지의 양을 주기적으로 파악한다. 이동 호스트는 패킷을 전송하기 위한 라우팅 경로를 설정할 때 에너지 트리와 너비우선 탐색을 이용하여 에너지 소비가 가장 적절한 경로를 선택한다. 제안기법은 무선 ad-hoc 네트워크 환경에서 각 이동 호스트의 에너지의 양이 균등하게 사용됨으로써 제한된 배터리 용량을 가진 이동 호스트들이 최대한 오랫동안 동작하므로 시스템의 수명과 성능을 향상시킨다.
