Since sensor nodes have restriction of using resources in Zigbee network, number of study on improving efficiency is currently ongoing[1]. Clustering mechanism based on hierarchy structure provides a prevention of duplicated information and a facility of a network expansion[2]. however overheads can occurs when the cluster header is elected and the election of a incorrect cluster header causes to use resources inefficiently. In this paper, we propose that the cluster header election mechanism using distances between nodes and density of nodes in accordance with the operation of the central processing system in which the sync nodes are having information of location and energy with respect to general nodes based on hierachy clustering mechanism.

Considering the topology of hierarchical tree structure, each cluster in WSNs is faced with various attacks launched by malicious nodes, which include network eavesdropping, channel interference and data tampering. The existing intrusion detection algorithm does not take into consideration the resource constraints of cluster heads and sensor nodes. Due to application requirements, sensor nodes in WSNs are deployed with approximately uncorrelated security weights. In our study, a novel and versatile intrusion detection system (IDS) for the optimal defense strategy is primarily introduced. Given the flexibility that wireless communication provides, it is unreasonable to expect malicious nodes will demonstrate a fixed behavior over time. Instead, malicious nodes can dynamically update the attack strategy in response to the IDS in each game stage. Thus, a multi-stage intrusion detection game (MIDG) based on Bayesian rules is proposed. In order to formulate the solution of MIDG, an in-depth analysis on the Bayesian equilibrium is performed iteratively. Depending on the MIDG theoretical analysis, the optimal behaviors of rational attackers and defenders are derived and calculated accurately. The numerical experimental results validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed scheme.

In wireless sensor network, many sensor nodes are distributed in the field. They communicate the sensing data each other and forward it to sink. Routing protocols, which define the delivery methods of sending data, affect to the lifetime of sensor network. This paper proposes RTAF that is a routing-tree construction algorithm of sensor nodes by a single flooding process in wireless sensor network. A routing tree is constructed by selecting a parent node using the forward-direction flooding packet and gathering children nodes using the reverse-direction flooding packet. In this process, a node with much energy becomes the parent node. And the routing tree is periodically reconstructed in order to distribute the loads of parent nodes. The proposed algorithm compared performance with Modified-LEACH using NS2 network simulation tool. The simulation result shows that the proposed algorithm constructs a routing-tree faster and reduced 40-80% in routing-tree construction packet.

The efficient node energy utilization is one of important performance factors in wireless sensor networks because sensor nodes operate with limited battery power. To extend the lifetime of the wireless sensor networks, maintaining balanced power consumption between sensor nodes is more important than reducing each energy consumption of the sensor node in the network. In this paper, we proposed a cluster formation algorithm to extend the lifetime of the networks and to maintain a balanced energy consumption of nodes. To obtain it, we add a tiny slot in a round frame, which enables to exchange the residual energy messages between the base station (BS). cluster heads, and nodes. The performance of the proposed protocol has been examined and evaluated with the NS 2 simulator. As a result of simulation, we have confirmed that our proposed algorithm show the better performance in terms of lifetime than LEACH. Consequently, our proposed protocol can effectively extend the network lifetime without other critical overhead and performance degradation.

A wireless sensor network is a network in which nodes equipped with sensors capable of collecting data from the real world are configured wirelessly. Because the sensor nodes are configured wirelessly, they have limited power such as batteries. If the battery of the sensor node is exhausted, the node is no longer usable. If more than a certain number of nodes die, the network will not function. There are many wireless sensor network protocols to improve energy efficiency, among which LEACH Protocol is a typical example. The LEACH protocol is a cluster-based protocol that divides sensor space into clusters and transmits and receives data between nodes. Therefore, depending on how the cluster is structured, the shape of the energy cow may decrease or increase. We compare the network lifetimes of the existing LEACH protocols and the three types of protocols that have been improved using fuzzy methods for cluster selection.

In sensor medium access control (SMAC) protocol, sensor nodes can only access the channel in the scheduling and listening period. However, this fixed working method may generate data latency and high conflict. To solve those problems, scheduling duty in the original SMAC protocol is divided into multiple small scheduling duties (micro duty MD). By applying different micro-dispersed contention channel, sensor nodes can reduce the collision probability of the data and thereby save energy. Based on the given micro-duty, this paper presents an adaptive duty cycle (DC) and back-off algorithm, aiming at detecting the fixed duty cycle in SMAC protocol. According to the given buffer queue length, sensor nodes dynamically change the duty cycle. In the context of low duty cycle and low flow, fair binary exponential back-off (F-BEB) algorithm is applied to reduce data latency. In the context of high duty cycle and high flow, capture avoidance binary exponential back-off (CA-BEB) algorithm is used to further reduce the conflict probability for saving energy consumption. Based on the above two contexts, we propose an improved SMAC protocol, micro duty adaptive SMAC protocol (MDA-SMAC). Comparing the performance between MDA-SMAC protocol and SMAC protocol on the NS-2 simulation platform, the results show that, MDA-SMAC protocol performs better in terms of energy consumption, latency and effective throughput than SMAC protocol, especially in the condition of more crowded network traffic and more sensor nodes.

The sensor nodes on the sensor network transmit the reply for the queries of ADV(Advertisement) message from sink node, and the sink node presents the received information to users. To find the relevant sensor nodes, routing algorithms disseminates ADV messages to the whole network. Thus not only the relevant sensor nodes but also the irrelevant ones consume considerable amount of energy. To alleviate such kind of energy consumption, this thesis proposes a new routing algorithm and coins it Directed Messaging. It propagates ADV message only to the limited direction and changes the direction until the requested sensor node is found. In this way, Directed Messaging reduces unnecessary energy consumption and enhance the efficiency of the networks. Performance of the Directed Messaging algorithm is evaluated through simulation and compared with Directed Diffusion algorithm. Simulation results show that it has better performance than Directed Diffusion.

Sensor nodes used in Geosensor network are resource limited and power constrained. So it is necessary to research on routing protocols to gather data by using energy efficiently. Wireless sensor networks collect data gathered from sensor nodes by transfering it to the sink using multihop. However, it has two problems. First, the existing works require unnecessary data transmission for choosing a proper parent node to transfer data. Secondly, they have a large number of data transmission because each sensor node has a different path. To solves the problems, we, in this paper, propose a designated path based data aggregation scheme for efficient energy management in WSNs. The proposed scheme can reduce unnecessary data transmission by pre-determining a set of paths and can enable all the sensor nodes to participate in gathering data by running them in round-robin fashion. We show from performance analysis that the proposed scheme is more energy efficient than the existing directed diffusion(DD) and the hierarchical data aggregation(HDA).

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) generally consist of densely deployed sensor nodes that depend on batteries for energy. Having a large number of densely deployed sensor nodes causes energy waste and high redundancy in sensor data transmissions. The problems of power limitation and high redundancy in sensing coverage can be solved by appropriate scheduling of node activity among sensor nodes. In this paper, we propose a cellular automata based node scheduling algorithm for prolonging network lifetime with a balance of energy savings among nodes while achieving high coverage quality. Based on a cellular automata framework, we propose a new mathematical model for the node scheduling algorithm. The proposed algorithm uses local interaction based on environmental state signaling for making scheduling decisions. We analyze the system behavior and derive steady states of the proposed system. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms existing protocols by providing energy balance with significant energy savings while maintaining sensing coverage quality.

The wireless sensor network technology becomes one of core technologies to make it possible to implement various e-business applications. Energy efficiency is an important issue in wireless sensor networks. IEEE 802.15.4, a representative international standard for wireless sensor networks, provides the beacon enabled mode for energy-efficient communication. However, the beacons may conflict each other when the network is of multi-hop topology such as mesh or cluster-tree topology with beacon-enabled mode. The beacon conflict causes the failure of synchronization between sensor nodes, and affects other nodes in the network in that unsynchronized nodes cannot participate in communication. In this paper, we suggest an energy-efficient beacon scheduling for the wireless sensor networks. Nodes can save their energy duringperiod and prevent beacon conflict using beacon scheduling. We implement the scheduling using QualNet, and evaluate the performance under mesh topology networks. It turns out that the proposed scheduling may improve the energy efficiency in the networks.
