In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), cluster based data routing protocols have the advantages of reducing energy consumption and link maintenance cost. Unfortunately, most of clustering protocols have been designed for uniformly distributed sensor networks. However, some urgent situations do not allow thousands of sensor nodes being deployed uniformly. For example, air vehicles or balloons may take the responsibility for deploying sensor nodes hence leading a normally distributed topology. In order to improve energy efficiency in such sensor networks, in this paper, we propose a new cluster formation algorithm named DAEEC (Density Aware Energy-Efficient Clustering). In this algorithm, we define two kinds of clusters: Low Density (LD) clusters and High Density (HD) clusters. They are determined by the number of nodes participated in one cluster. During the data routing period, the HD clusters help the neighbor LD clusters to forward the sensed data to the central base station. Thus, DAEEC can distribute the energy dissipation evenly among all sensor nodes by considering the deployment density to improve network lifetime and average energy savings. Moreover, because the HD clusters are densely deployed they can work in a manner of our former algorithm EEVAR (Energy Efficient Variable Area Routing Protocol) to save energy. According to the performance analysis result, DAEEC outperforms the conventional data routing schemes in terms of energy consumption and network lifetime.

With the increasing demand for real time applications in the Wireless Senor Network (WSN), real time critical events anticipate an efficient quality-of-service (QoS) based routing for data delivery from the network infrastructure. Designing such QoS based routing protocol to meet the reliability and delay guarantee of critical events while preserving the energy efficiency is a challenging task. Considerable research has been focused on developing robust energy efficient QoS based routing protocols. In this paper, we present the state of the research by summarizing the work on QoS based routing protocols that has already been published and by highlighting the QoS issues that are being addressed. The performance comparison of QoS based routing protocols such as SAR, MMSPEED, MCMP, MCBR, and EQSR has also been analyzed using ns-2 for various parameters.

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.

Sensors have limited resources in sensor networks, so efficient use of energy is important. In order to use the energy of the sensor node efficiently, researches applying mobile sink to the sensor network have been actively carried out. The sink node moves the sensor network, collects data from each sensor node, which spread the energy concentrated around the sink node, thereby extending the entire life cycle of the network. But, when the sink node moves, it requires a reset of the data transmission path, which causes a lot of control messages and delays. In this paper, we propose a CMS(Cluster-based Mobile Sink) method to support the movement of mobile sink in a cluster sensor environment. The proposed scheme minimizes an amount of control messages without resetting the routing paths of entire sensor networks by supporting the sink mobility path using the neighbor cluster list. And, it simplifies the routing path setup process by setting a single hop path between clusters without a gateway. The experiment results show that the proposed scheme has superior energy efficiency in processing and network structure, compared with existing clustering and mesh routing protocols.

Over recent years, enormous amounts of research in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been conducted, due to its multifarious applications such as in environmental monitoring, object tracking, disaster management, manufacturing, monitoring and control. In some of WSN applications dependent the energy-efficient and link reliability are demanded. Hence, this paper presents a routing protocol that considers these two criteria. We propose a new mechanism called Reliable Routing Scheme for Energy-Balanced (RRSEB) to reduce the packets dropped during the data communications. It is based on Swarm Intelligence (SI) using the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) method. The RRSEB is a self-adaptive method to ensure the high routing reliability in WSNs, if the failures occur due to the movement of the sensor nodes or sensor node's energy depletion. This is done by introducing a new method to create alternative paths together with the data routing obtained during the path discovery stage. The goal of this operation is to update and offer new routing information in order to construct the multiple paths resulting in an increased reliability of the sensor network. From the simulation, we have seen that the proposed method shows better results in terms of packet delivery ratio and energy efficiency.

A convergecast is a popular routing scheme in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in which every sensor node periodically forwards measured data along configured routing paths to a base station (BS). Prolonging lifetimes in energy-limited WSNs is an important issue because the lifetime of a WSN influences on its quality and price. Low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) was the first attempt at solving this lifetime problem in convergecast WSNs, and it was followed by other solutions including power efficient gathering in sensor information systems (PEGASIS) and power efficient data gathering and aggregation protocol (PEDAP). Our solution-chain routing with even energy consumption (CREEC)-solves this problem by achieving longer average lifetimes using two strategies: i) Maximizing the fairness of energy distribution at every sensor node and ii) running a feedback mechanism that utilizes a preliminary simulation of energy consumption to save energy for depleted Sensor nodes. Simulation results confirm that CREEC outperforms all previous solutions such as LEACH, PEGASIS, PEDAP, and PEDAP-power aware (PA) with respect to the first node death and the average lifetime. CREEC performs very well at all WSN sizes, BS distances and battery capacities with an increased convergecast delay.

무선 센서네트워크(Sensor Network)에서는 많은 수의 센서 노드를 영구적으로 사용하기 보다는 일회성의 목적으로 사용하기 때문에 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 노드들의 수명을 장시간 유지시키는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이를 위해서 본 논문에서는 무선 센서네트워크의 연결 유지 시간(network lifetime)을 연장시키기 위한 EASR(Energy Aware Source Routing) 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 EASR 기법은 기존의 EAR(Energy Aware Routing)처럼 다중 경로 중에 확률에 의해 결정되는 단일 경로로만 데이터 트래픽을 전송하여 에너지 소비를 분산시키는 방법을 사용한다. 하지만 제안하는 EASR 기법에서는 기존의 SMR(Split Multipath Routing)에서 사용되는 다중 경로 선정 기법을 개선한 방법으로서 센서 노드들의 에너지 소비를 최소화 하기 위하여 다중 경로간의 overhearing 지수를 정의하고 이를 근거로 overhearing 현상에 의한 에너지 소비를 최소로 하는 다중 경로를 설정하는 기법이다. 제안하는 EASR기법이 무선 센서네트워크 환경에서 노드의 수명을 장시간 유지시키고 합리적인 데이터 전송 지연시간을 갖는다는 것을 시뮬레이션 분석을 통해 확인하였다.

기존의 에너지 효율적인 라우팅 프로토콜은 라우팅 메트릭 중 에너지에 높은 가중치를 적용하여 에너지 효율이 높은 경로에 노드가 집중되고 해당 경로의 에너지가 빠르게 고갈되는 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 무선 센서 네트워크의 불균형적인 에너지 소모는 네트워크의 분할 및 기능 상실을 야기하여 네트워크 수명을 감소시킨다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크의 불균형적인 에너지 소모를 해결하기 위해 링크 비용 기반 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 라우팅 프로토콜은 네트워크 문제 상황에 따라 라우팅 메트릭의 가중치를 차등 적용하여 링크 비용을 산출하고 가장 낮은 값을 갖는 경로를 선정한다. 성능 분석 결과, 제안하는 라우팅 프로토콜이 기존 AODV 프로토콜 보다 네트워크 수명이 22%, 에너지 소모 표준편차가 2%, 데이터 수신율이 2% 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

Wireless sensor network(WSN) is being used in various fields such as reconnaissance, echelon scale identification, weather observation, etc. using small sensors in an environment without a network infrastructure environment. In addition, WSN uses limited battery power, so study on routing protocols to extend the lifetime of the network is important. PEGASIS, a hierarchical routing protocol, accounts for the majority of energy-efficient routing protocol studies and is well known as a representative protocol. In this study, based on PEGASIS, we propose a protocol that constructs multiple chains rather than one chain using the AoA of nodes. The proposed protocol has the advantage of reducing the transmission distance of nodes and eliminating unnecessary transmissions, thereby increasing energy efficiency compared to the existing protocols.
