Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) is adopted to enable effective and smooth communication among different networks. In some specific application, the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are used in IoT to gather peculiar data without the interaction of human. The WSNs are self-organizing in nature, so it mostly prefer multi-hop data forwarding. Thus to achieve better communication, a cross-layer routing strategy is preferred. In the cross-layer routing strategy, the routing processed through three layers such as transport, data link, and physical layer. Even though effective communication achieved via a cross-layer routing strategy, energy is another constraint in WSN assisted IoT. Cluster-based communication is one of the most used strategies for effectively preserving energy in WSN routing. This paper proposes a Bio-inspired cross-layer routing (BiHCLR) protocol to achieve effective and energy preserving routing in WSN assisted IoT. Initially, the deployed sensor nodes are arranged in the form of a grid as per the grid-based routing strategy. Then to enable energy preservation in BiHCLR, the fuzzy logic approach is executed to select the Cluster Head (CH) for every cell of the grid. Then a hybrid bio-inspired algorithm is used to select the routing path. The hybrid algorithm combines moth search and Salp Swarm optimization techniques. The performance of the proposed BiHCLR is evaluated based on the Quality of Service (QoS) analysis in terms of Packet loss, error bit rate, transmission delay, lifetime of network, buffer occupancy and throughput. Then these performances are validated based on comparison with conventional routing strategies like Fuzzy-rule-based Energy Efficient Clustering and Immune-Inspired Routing (FEEC-IIR), Neuro-Fuzzy- Emperor Penguin Optimization (NF-EPO), Fuzzy Reinforcement Learning-based Data Gathering (FRLDG) and Hierarchical Energy Efficient Data gathering (HEED). Ultimately the performance of the proposed BiHCLR outperforms all other conventional techniques.

무선 센서 네트워크는 다양한 분야에서 활용 되어지고 있다. 무선 센서 네트워크는 보안, 군사감지, 환경관리, 산업제어, 홈 자동화 등 많은 영역에 적용된다. 하지만 네트워크를 구성하는 노드의 제한된 에너지에 한계로 활용범위가 제한되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 대표적 라우팅 프로토콜 중 LEACH-C를 기반으로 네트워크의 전송을 개선하여 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하는 LEACH-CCBD(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering hierarchy - Centrailized with Cluster and Basestation Distance) 알고리즘을 제안한다. LEACH-CCBD 알고리즘은 클러스터 구성시 멤버노드들의 클러스터 소속에 대하여 멤버 노드로부터 클러스터의 거리와 클러스터 노드로부터 기지국까지의 거리를 합산한 값을 비교하여 선정 우선순위를 두어 클러스터 헤드를 소속시키는 기법이다. 제안한 LEACH-CCBD는 Matlab 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 각 프로토콜에 대한 성능 결과를 확인하였다. 실험결과 에너지 효율성이 LEACH, LEACH-C 알고리즘보다 우수함을 보였다.

인지무선 애드혹 네트워크(Cognitive Radio Ad-hoc Networks)에서 요구기반 라우팅을 수행할 경우, 경로 탐색 과정에서 발생하는 경로탐색 메시지의 브로드캐스팅은 공통 제어 채널의 과부하를 유발하고 패킷 간의 충돌을 발생시킨다. 이런 현상은 경로탐색의 오버헤드를 증가 시키며, 정확하고 신뢰성있는 경로의 탐색에 제한을 받게 된다. 이로 인하여 신뢰성있는 채널을 찾는 경로가 제한되기 때문에 경로의 생존 시간이 단축되고 경로의 안정성이 감소된다. 본 논문에서는 인지무선 ad-hoc네트워크에서 주사용자의 출현 가능성과 주변 사용자의 상황을 고려하여 패킷 충돌을 감소시키고 경로의 생존시간을 향상 시키는 라우팅 알고리즘을 제안한다. 각 노드는 주기적인 센싱을 통해 주사용자의 사용패턴을 감지하고 채널의 사용 확률과 현재 채널 상태를 알고 있다. 또한 이웃 노드와 메시지 교환을 통해 공통된 채널과 해당 채널의 품질을 파악하여 노드 사이에 링크 레벨을 부여한다. 제안된 방법에서는 링크 레벨을 이용하여 경로 탐색 과정에서 발생하는 제어 메시지의 수를 감소시킨다. 또한 링크의 생존성과 품질을 홉 카운트에 따라 가중치를 부여하여 경로를 선택함으로써 경로의 생존 시간을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 성능 평가를 통해 기존의 방법 보다 제안된 방법을 이용하여 라우팅을 수행할 경우 제어 채널의 오버헤드가 감소되고 경로의 생존시간이 증가하는 것을 확인 할 수 있다.

A network with high mobility nodes or vehicles is vehicular ad hoc Network (VANET). For improvement in communication efficiency of VANET, many techniques have been proposed; one of these techniques is vehicular node clustering. Cluster nodes (CNs) and Cluster Heads (CHs) are elected or selected in the process of clustering. The longer the lifetime of clusters and the lesser the number of CHs attributes to efficient networking in VANETs. In this paper, a novel Clustering algorithm is proposed based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) for VANET named ACONET. This algorithm forms optimized clusters to offer robust communication for VANETs. For optimized clustering, parameters of transmission range, direction, speed of the nodes and load balance factor (LBF) are considered. The ACONET is compared empirically with state of the art methods, including Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) and Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (CLPSO) based clustering techniques. An extensive set of experiments is performed by varying the grid size of the network, the transmission range of nodes, and total number of nodes in network to evaluate the effectiveness of the algorithms in comparison. The results indicate that the ACONET has significantly outperformed the competitors.

This paper proposes a TDMA-based multichannel medium access control (MAC) protocol for QoS provisioning in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) that enables nodes to transmit their packets in distributed channels. The IEEE 802.11 standard supports multichannel operation at the physical (PHY) layer but its MAC protocol is designed only for a single channel. The single channel MAC protocol does not work well in multichannel environment because of the multichannel hidden terminal problem. Our proposed protocol enables nodes to utilize multiple channels by switching channels dynamically, thus increasing network throughput. Although each node of this protocol is equipped with only a single transceiver but it solves the multichannel hidden terminal problem using temporal synchronization. The proposed energy efficient multichannel MAC (EM-MAC) protocol takes the advantage of both multiple channels and TDMA, and achieves aggressive power savings by allowing nodes that are not involved in communications to go into power saving "sleep mode". We consider the problem of providing QoS guarantee to nodes as well as to maintain the most efficient use of scarce bandwidth resources. Our scheme improves network throughput and lifetime significantly, especially when the network is highly congested. The simulation results show that our proposed scheme successfully exploits multiple channels and significantly improves network performance by providing QoS guarantee in MANETs.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) consist of a large amount of sensor nodes distributed in a certain region. Due to the limited battery power of a sensor node, lots of energy-efficient schemes have been studied. Clustering is primarily used for energy efficiency purpose. However, clustering in WSNs faces several unattained issues, such as ensuring connectivity and scheduling inter-cluster transmissions. In this paper, we propose a location-based spiral clustering (LBSC) algorithm for improving connectivity and avoiding inter-cluster collisions. It also provides reliable location aware routing paths from all cluster heads to a sink node during cluster formation. Proposed algorithm can simultaneously make clusters in four spiral directions from the center of sensor field by using the location information and residual energy level of neighbor sensor nodes. Three logical addresses are used for categorizing the clusters into four global groups and scheduling the intra- and inter-cluster transmission time for each cluster. We evaluated the performance with simulations and compared it with other algorithms.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is a distributed Sensor network whose terminals are sensors that can sense and check the environment. Sensors are typically battery-powered and deployed in where the batteries are difficult to replace. Therefore, maximize the consumption of node energy and extend the network's life cycle are the problems that must to face. Low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) protocol is an adaptive clustering topology algorithm, which can make the nodes in the network consume energy in a relatively balanced way and prolong the network lifetime. In this paper, the novel multi-objective LEACH protocol is proposed, in order to solve the proposed protocol, we design a multi-objective coupling algorithm based on bat algorithm (BA), glowworm swarm optimization algorithm (GSO) and bacterial foraging optimization algorithm (BFO). The advantages of BA, GSO and BFO are inherited in the multi-objective coupling algorithm (MBGF), which is tested on ZDT and SCH benchmarks, the results are shown the MBGF is superior. Then the multi-objective coupling algorithm is applied in the multi-objective LEACH protocol, experimental results show that the multi-objective LEACH protocol can greatly reduce the energy consumption of the node and prolong the network life cycle.

잘 알려진 무선 센서 네트워크의 프로액티브 프로토콜인 Flooding과 SPIN은 싱크 노드의 요청 없이 감지한 데이터를 즉각적으로 전송한다. 그러나 이러한 전송방법은 그 데이터가 필요하지 않는 노드들에게까지 전송하기에 에너지 효율성 측면에서 비효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해서 전체 노드 대신에 적절한 일부 노드들에게만 전송할 수 있는 세미프로액티브 프로토콜을 제안한다. 따라서 만일 싱크노드와 같은 어떠한 노드가 감지한 데이터를 필요로 할 경우 미리 설정한 몇 홉 이내에 그 데이터를 쉽게 얻을 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 잘 알려진 SPIN과 비교하여 노드의 에너지 효율성이 약 83%까지 높다는 것을 보여주었다.

Improvements in wireless sensor network (WSN) technology have resulted in a large number of applications. WSNs have been mainly used for monitoring applications, but they are also applicable to target tracking, health care, and monitoring with multimedia data. Nodes are generally deployed in environments where the exhausted batteries of sensor nodes are difficult to charge or replace. The primary goal of communication protocols in WSNs is to maximize energy efficiency in order to prolong network lifetime. In this paper, various medium access control (MAC) protocols for synchronous/asynchronous and single/multi-channel WSNs are investigated. Single-channel MAC protocols are categorized into synchronous and asynchronous approaches, and the advantages and disadvantages of each protocol are presented. The different features required in multi-channel WSNs compared to single-channel WSNs are also investigated, and surveys on multi-channel MAC protocols proposed for WSNs are provided. Then, existing broadcast schemes in such MAC protocols and efficient multi-hop broadcast protocols proposed for WSNs are provided. The limitations and challenges in many communication protocols according to this survey are pointed out, which will help future researches on the design of communication protocols for WSNs.
