In wireless sensor networks, one of the most important issue is improvement of network lifetime with an efficient energy consumption. we repose effective multi-hop routing algorithm which increases the number of nodes alive at any time. In our algorithm we use the dynamic selection of cluster head and short distance transmission method. We simulated the proposed algorithm by using Network Simulator 2 and compared its performance with LEACH. The experimental result shows that the number of the nodes alive is increased up to 39.71[%] during the simulation time.

For an energy harvesting sensor network, when the network lifetime is not the only primary goal, maximizing the network performance under environmental energy harvesting becomes a more critical issue. However, clustering protocols that aim at providing maximum information throughput have not been thoroughly explored in Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks (EH-WSNs). In this paper, clustering protocols are studied for maximizing the data transmission in the whole network. Based on a long short-term memory (LSTM) energy predictor and node energy consumption and supplement models, an uneven clustering protocol is proposed where the cluster head selection and cluster size control are thoroughly designed for this purpose. Simulations and results verify that the proposed scheme can outperform some classic schemes by having more data packets received by the cluster heads (CHs) and the base station (BS) under these energy constraints. The outcomes of this paper also provide some insights for choosing clustering routing protocols in EH-WSNs, by exploiting the factors such as uneven clustering size, number of clusters, multiple CHs, multihop routing strategy, and energy supplementing period.

Clustering allows hierarchical structures to be built on the nodes and enables more efficient use of scarce resources, such as frequency spectrum, bandwidth, and energy in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This paper proposes a hierarchical clustering algorithm called EEHC which is more energy efficient than existing algorithms for WSNs, It introduces region node selection as well as cluster head election based on the residual battery capacity of nodes to reduce the costs of managing sensor nodes and of the communication among them. The role of cluster heads or region nodes is rotated among nodes to achieve load balancing and extend the lifetime of every individual sensor node. To do this, EEHC clusters periodically to select cluster heads that are richer in residual energy level, compared to the other nodes, according to clustering policies from administrators. To prove the performance improvement of EEHC, the ns-2 simulator was used. The results show that it can reduce the energy and bandwidth consumption for organizing and managing WSNs comparing it with existing algorithms.

PEGASIS, a chain-based protocol, forms chains from sensor nodes so that each node transmits and receives from a neighbor. In this way, only one node (known as a HEAD) is selected from that chain to transmit to the sink. Although PEGASIS is able to balance the workload among all of the nodes by selecting the HEAD node in turn, a considerable amount of energy may be wasted when nodes which are far away from sink node act as the HEAD. In this study, DERP (Distance-based Energy-efficient Routing Protocol) is proposed to address this problem. DERP is a chain-based protocol that improves the greedy-algorithm in PEGASIS by taking into account the distance from the HEAD to the sink node. The main idea of DERP is to adopt a pre-HEAD (P-HD) to distribute the energy load evenly among sensor nodes. In addition, to scale DERP to a large network, it can be extended to a multi-hop clustering protocol by selecting a "relay node" according to the distance between the P-HD and SINK. Analysis and simulation studies of DERP show that it consumes up to 80% less energy, and has less of a transmission delay compared to PEGASIS.

In this paper, an interference aware distributed multi-channel MAC (IDMMAC) protocol is proposed for wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs). The WSAN consists of a huge number of sensors and ample amount of actors. Hence, in the IDMMAC protocol a lightweight channel selection mechanism is proposed to enhance the sensor's lifetime. The IDMMAC protocol divides the beacon interval into two phases (i.e., the ad-hoc traffic indication message (ATIM) window phase and data transmission phase). When a sensor wants to transmit event information to the actor, it negotiates the maximum packet reception ratio (PRR) and the capacity channel in the ATIM window with its 1-hop sensors. The channel negotiation takes place via a control channel. To improve the packet delivery ratio of the IDMMAC protocol, each actor selects a backup cluster head (BCH) from its cluster members. The BCH is elected based on its residual energy and node degree. The BCH selection phase takes place whenever an actor wants to perform actions in the event area or it leaves the cluster to help a neighbor actor. Furthermore, an interference and throughput aware multi-channel MAC protocol is also proposed for actor-actor coordination. An actor selects a minimum interference and maximum throughput channel among the available channels to communicate with the destination actor. The performance of the proposed IDMMAC protocol is analyzed using standard network parameters, such as packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, and energy dissipation, in the network. The obtained simulation results indicate that the IDMMAC protocol performs well compared to the existing MAC protocols.

We consider the problem of secure and robust clustering for quantized target tracking in wireless sensor networks (WSN) where the observed system is assumed to evolve according to a probabilistic state space model. We propose a new method for jointly activating the best group of candidate sensors that participate in data aggregation, detecting the malicious sensors and estimating the target position. Firstly, we select the appropriate group in order to balance the energy dissipation and to provide the required data of the target in the WSN. This selection is also based on the transmission power between a sensor node and a cluster head. Secondly, we detect the malicious sensor nodes based on the information relevance of their measurements. Then, we estimate the target position using quantized variational filtering (QVF) algorithm. The selection of the candidate sensors group is based on multi-criteria function, which is computed by using the predicted target position provided by the QVF algorithm, while the malicious sensor nodes detection is based on Kullback-Leibler distance between the current target position distribution and the predicted sensor observation. The performance of the proposed method is validated by simulation results in target tracking for WSN.

무선 센서 네트워크의 목적은 특정 지역에 뿌려져 있는 센서 노드를 통해서 센서 정보를 수집하는 것이다. 지역 내 센서 노드는 환경 값을 측정, 수집, 처리하여 싱크 노드로 전송된다. 이러한 과정은 센서네트워크를 구성하는 센서 노드의 제한된 능력 때문에 센서 노드의 저전력 동작 기법을 고려해야 한다. 인접한 센서 노드는 유사한 데이터를 가지기 때문에, 로컬 클러스터를 형성하고 클러스터 헤드로 데이터 가공 처리하는 클러스터링 기법이 저전력 동작 기법에 효과적이다. 또한 제한된 전송 범위에 따라 다중 홉 방식의 클러스터 형성 기법요구 된다. 클러스터 형성 시 클러스터 내 멤버 노드의 개수는 균형적인 클러스터 형성에 영향을 주기 때문에 클러스터를 균등하게 분할하는 방법이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문은 클러스터 헤드의 재선정을 통해 불균형하게 형성된 클러스터를 균등한 클러스터로 형성할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

Understanding consumers' latent desires for product form has now become a critical issue in product design. Accordingly, product development processes is rapidly changing from product-oriented development to user-centered development. Driver visibility is considered as an important element of driving posture packaging in automobile interior design. This study presents a systematic process for driver visibility analysis approached from affective engineering method that provides design variable selection and screening with respect to the image/impression element of the human visibility. Also, the analysis of front visibility, often called the feeling of "openness", in motor vehicle interior design, is selected and practiced a case study using the systematic process proposed in this study. Twenty six participants evaluated the feeling of openness for thirty motor vehicles following the perceived scale of affective design factors. The results showed that variables such as the height of head lining, the height of cluster housing, the gradient of windshield and the volume of A-pillar were the critical design variables which affect the feeling of openness in a motor vehicle.

수많은 센서들로 이루어진 센서 네트워크에서는 노드의 제한된 에너지로 인해, 에너지 효율적 사용이 중요한 이슈이다. 따라서 에너지 효율적인 라우팅을 위하여 많은 알고리즘이 연구되고 있다. 이들 알고리즘들 중 클러스터링 기법은 센서 노드가 싱크와 직접 통신하는 방법이 아닌 클러스터 헤드로 선출된 노드와 통신하여 클러스터 헤드가 센싱된 정보를 모아 싱크에 보냄으로써 에너지 소비를 줄이게 된다. 이 기법은 클러스터 헤드 선정이 무엇보다도 중요한 이슈이다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 잔존 에너지의 양과 노드의 상대적 위치에 따라 클러스터 헤드를 선출함으로써 에너지 효율을 최적화 시킬 수 있는 기법을 제안한다.

센서 네트워크에서 에너지 소비는 전송거리와 보내고자 하는 데이터에 비례한다. LEACH-C와 같은 클러스터 기반 라우팅 기법들은 센서 노드들의 클러스터링을 통하여 데이터 전달 거리를 최소화시킴으로서 에너지의 효율성을 얻는다. 하지만 LEACH-C에서는 클러스터링을 구성할 때 클러스터 구성 노드들의 거리의 총합만을 고려한다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 사용에 큰 영향을 미치는 기지국과 클러스터 헤드간의 거리를 고려한 클러스터 헤드 선택 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 LEACH-C에 비해 기지국의 위치가 일정 거리 이상 떨어져 있을 경우 성능 향상 결과를 제공하였다. 이 결과는 클러스터 기반 라우팅 알고리즘에서 클러스터 헤드와 기지국간의 거리를 고려하는 것이 에너지 효율적인 측면에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 보여 주었다.
