Research on wireless sensor networks has focused on the monitoring and characterization of large-scale physical environments and the tracking of various environmental or physical conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and wind speed. We propose a stochastic mobility model that can be applied to a MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork). environment, and apply this mobility model to a newly proposed clustering-based routing protocol. To verify its stability and durability, we compared the proposed stochastic mobility model with a random model in terms of energy efficiency. The FND (First Node Dead) was measured and compared to verify the performance of the newly designed protocol. In this paper, we describe the proposed mobility model, quantify the changes to the mobile environment, and detail the selection of cluster heads and clusters formed using a fuzzy inference system. After the clusters are configured, the collected data are sent to a base station. Studies on clustering-based routing protocols and stochastic mobility models for MANET applications have shown that these strategies improve the energy efficiency of a network.

LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy)는 무선센서 네트워크의 가장 중요한 요구사항인 에너지 소비를 최소화하기 위해 제안된 대표적인 계층 기반 구조를 갖는 프로토콜이다. LEACH 프로토콜을 사용하는 센서 네트워크는 여러 클러스터로 구성되며, 각 클러스터는 데이터를 감지하는 멤버 노드와 멤버 노드로부터 전송된 데이터를 수집하여 기간망과 연동된 싱크 노드에게 전달하는 헤드 노드로 구성된다. LEACH의 헤드 노드는 멤버 노드의 전송 데이터 보유 유무에 관계없이 TDMA 슬롯을 할당함으로서 헤드 노드가 라운드 전 기간에 활성 모드로 동작하는 비효율성을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 송신 데이터를 보유하고 있는 노드에게만 슬롯을 할당함으로서 LEACH의 에너지 사용 효율을 향상시키는 방안을 제안한다. 제안 방식의 성능 확인을 위한 ns-2 시뮬레이터 기반의 모의실험 결과, 제안 방식이 기존 LEACH 방식과 비교하여 시간 경과에 따른 생존 노드 수 및 노드의 에너지 소비량 측면에서 LEACH 보다 우수함을 확인하였다.

The design of cluster-based routing protocols is necessary for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). But, due to the lack of features, the traditional methods face issues, especially on unbalanced energy consumption of routing protocol. This work focuses on enhancing the security and energy efficiency of the system by proposing Energy Efficient Based Secure Routing Protocol (EESRP) which integrates trust management, optimization algorithm and key management. Initially, the locations of the deployed nodes are calculated along with their trust values. Here, packet transfer is maintained securely by compiling a Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) approach. Finally, trust, key, location and energy parameters are incorporated in Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and meta-heuristic based Harmony Search (HS) method to find the secure shortest path. Our results show that the energy consumption of the proposed approach is 1.06mJ during the transmission mode, and 8.69 mJ during the receive mode which is lower than the existing approaches. The average throughput and the average PDR for the attacks are also high with 72 and 62.5 respectively. The significance of the research is its ability to improve the performance metrics of existing work by combining the advantages of different approaches. After simulating the model, the results have been validated with conventional methods with respect to the number of live nodes, energy efficiency, network lifetime, packet loss rate, scalability, and energy consumption of routing protocol.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 LEACH와 같은 클러스터링 프로토콜은 전체 네트워크의 수명을 연장시키는 효율적인 방법이지만 클러스터 헤드 노드에 높은 부하를 주게 되어 급격한 에너지 소모를 유발하는 문제가 있다. 따라서 클러스터의 구성과 클러스터 헤드 노드의 역할을 주기적으로 교체하여 네트워크의 수명을 연장시켰다. 그러나 이 방법은 클러스터를 구성하는 과정에서 상당한 량의 에너지 소모를 보인다. 따라서 본 논문은 소모되는 에너지의 효율성 증대를 위해 클러스터링 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이 알고리즘에서 서로 인접한 노드들은 intra cluster를 이루며 이 클러스터를 구성하는 노드들은 라운드 로빈 형태로 데이터를 수집하고 전송한다. 전체 네트워크의 관점에서 볼 때 이 intra cluster는 한개의 노드로 취급된다. 한 라운드의 setup단계에서 intra cluster들은 클러스터 헤드(intra cluster)에 의해 다시 클러스터를 형성(network cluster)하게 된다. 클러스터 헤드가 된 intra cluster의 모든 멤버노드는 라운드 로빈 방식으로 클러스터 헤드 역할을 수행한다. 따라서 intra cluster의 크기에 의해 라운드의 주기를 연장할 수 있다. 또한 steady-state에서 각 intra cluster의 노드는 라운드 로빈 방식으로 데이터를 수집하며 network cluster의 클러스터 헤드에 전송한다. 성능분석 결과 제안하는 방법은 제안된 클러스터링 방법에 비해 노드들의 에너지 소모가 줄어들었으며 전송 효율이 증가하였다.

Solar energy is one of the most promising energy resources in the future. For the application and dissemination of solar energy technologies in various fields, reliable data sets of solar irradiation are needed for engineers, researchers, businessmen, and policy makers. Global horizontal solar radiation is needed for the use of flat plate collector, solar domestic hot water system, photovoltaic devices and passive systems like green house. In many countries, solar radiation data accumulated for more then 40 or 50 years and typical weather data are published with average of more then 30 years. In Korea, those global total radiations are measured for about 30 years. With the connections of computer network, measured data could be transmitted to the central control system at key station through Ethernet lines. The data acquisition systems are connected to be automatically controlled by the monitoring network. Global horizontal solar radiation data 16 locations were measured and averaged from 1982 to 2008.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), hierarchical clustering is an efficient approach for lower energy consumption and extended network lifetime. In cluster-based multi-hop communications, a cluster head (CH) closer to the sink is loaded heavier than those CHs farther away from the sink. In order to balance the energy consumption among CHs, we development a novel cluster-based routing protocol for corona-structured wireless sensor networks. Based on the relaying traffic of each CH conveys, adequate radius for each corona can be determined through nearly balanced energy depletion analysis, which leads to balanced energy consumption among CHs. Simulation results demonstrate that our clustering approach effectively improves the network lifetime, residual energy and reduces the number of CH rotations in comparison with the MLCRA protocols.

A smart grid is a next-generation power grid that can improve energy efficiency by applying information and communication technology to the general power grid. The smart grid makes it possible to exchange information about electricity production and consumption between electricity providers and consumers in real-time. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is the core technology of the smart grid. The AMI provides two-way communication by installing a modem in an existing digital meter and typically include smart meters, data collection units, and meter data management systems. Because the AMI requires data collection units to control multiple smart meters, it is essential to ensure network availability under heavy network loads. If the load on the work done by the data collection unit is high, it is necessary to allocation new data collection units to ensure availability and improve energy efficiency. In this paper, we discuss the allocation scheme of data collection units for the energy efficiency of the AMI.

Wireless sensor networks consist of sensor nodes which are expected to be battery-powered and are hard to replace or recharge. Thus, reducing the energy consumption of sensor nodes is an important design consideration in wireless sensor networks. For the implementation of an energy-efficient MAC protocol, a Sensor-MAC based on the IEEE 802.11 protocol, which has energy efficient scheduling, has been proposed. In this paper, we propose a Dynamic S-MAC that adapts dynamically to the network-traffic state. The dynamic S-MAC protocol improves the energy consumption of the S-MAC by changing the frame length according to the network-traffic state. Using an NS-2 Simulator, we compare the performance of the Dynamic S-MAC with that of the S-MAC protocol.
