Hierarchical routing in Wireless Sensor Network lowers the amount of a memory used and energy consumption so that the network lifetime longer. But, When Node Failure is occurred, Hierarchical routing do not look for another route. This is the problem of Hierarchical routing. To solve the problem, we would study other hierarchical routings. There are typically hierarchical routing protocols which can be used in WSN, such as the hierarchical routing of Zigbee and HiLow protocol which is submitted as draft to IETF 6LoWPAN WG. Also, there is SCRO algorithm which be able to assign short-cut routing path. This paper explains how to solve the Node Failure in each Zigbee hierarchical routing and HiLow protocol. And we suggest how to solve the Node Failure in SCRO protocol. SCRO protocol is able to assign new routing path rapidly when Node Failure is occurred. Because the strong of SCRO protocol is to assign Short-cut routing path.

Nuclear power plants have a lower cost of power generation, and they are more eco-friendly than other power generation plants. Also, we need to prepare nuclear plant accidents because of their severe damage. In the event of a safety accident, such as a radiation leak, by applying a wireless sensor network to a nuclear power plant, many sensor nodes can be used to monitor radiation and transmit information to an external base station to appropriately respond to the accident. However, applying a wireless sensor network to nuclear power plants requires routing protocols that consider the sensor network size and bypass obstacles such as plant buildings. In general, the hierarchical-based routing protocols are efficient in energy consumption. In this study, we look into the problems that may occur if hierarchical-based routing protocols are applied to nuclear power plants and propose improved routing protocols to solve these problems. Simulation results show that the proposed routing protocol is more effective in energy consumption than the existing LEACH protocol.

The current IP Routing Protocolspacket networks also need to provide the network QoS based of DiffServ, RSVP, MPLStraffic model which is standardized as IETF reference model for NGN. The first topic of this paper is to propose Traffic-Balanced Routing Protocol(TBRP) to process existing best effort traffic. TBRP will process low priority interactive data and background data which is not sensitive to dealy. Secondly Hierarchical Traffic-Traffic-Scheduling Routing Protocol(HTSRP) is also proposed. HTSRP is the hierarchical routing algorithm for backbone and access networkin case of fixed-wireless convergence network. Finally, HTSRP_Q is proposed to meet the QoS requirement when user want interactive or streaming packet service. This protocol will maximize the usage of resources of access layer based on the QoS parameters and process delay-sensitive traffic. Service classes are categorized into 5 types by the user request, such as conversational, streaming, high priority interactive, low priority interactive, and background class. It could be processed efficiently by the routing protocolstraffic model proposed in this paper. The proposed routing protocolstraffic model provides the increase of efficiency and stability of the next generation network thanks to the routing according to the characteristic of the specialized service categories.

Since sensor node has a limited energy supply in a wireless sensor network, it is very important to maximize the network lifetime through energy-efficient routing. Thus, many routing protocols have been developed for wireless sensor networks and can be classified into flat and hierarchical routing protocols. Recent researches focus on hierarchical routing scheme and LEACH is a representative hierarchical routing protocol. In this paper, we investigated the problems of the LEACH and proposed a novel energy efficient routing scheme, called ENTER(ENergy efficient Two-tiEr Routing protocol), to resolve the problem. ENTER reduces an energy consumption and increases a network lifetime by organizing clusters by the same distributed algerian as in the LEACH and establishing paths among cluster-heads to transmit the aggregated data to the sink node. We compared the performance of the ENTER with the LEACH through simulation and showed that the ENTER could enhance the network lifetime by utilizing the resources more efficiently.

Self-organizing hierarchical ad hoc network (SOHAN) is a new ad-hoc network architecture designed to improve the scalability properties of conventional 'flat' ad hoc networks. This network architecture consists of three tiers of ad-hoc nodes, i.e.. access points, forwarding nodes and mobile nodes. This paper presents a topology discovery and routing protocol for the self-organization of SOHAN. We propose a cross-layer path metric based on link quality and MAC delay which plays a key role in producing an optimal cluster-based hierarchical topology with high throughput capacity. The topology discovery protocol provides the basis for routing which takes place in layer 2.5 using MAC addresses. The routing protocol is based on AODV with appropriate modifications to take advantage of the hierarchical topology and interact with the discovery protocol. Simulation results are presented which show the improved performance as well as scalability properties of SOHAN in terms of through-put capacity, end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio and control overhead.

For many sensor network applications, minimizing the energy consumed as well as extending the network lifetime are the most important objectives to be achieved, these objectives have pushed the scientific community to propose new solutions to minimize the total energy consumed by the sensors without degrading the network performances, amongst the proposed solutions, the clustering techniques. In this work we focus on hierarchical routing protocols, more precisely clustering in wireless sensor networks. We propose an energy-efficient hierarchical routing protocol for WSNs called EEV-LEACH (Energy Efficient Vice Low Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy), which represents a new variant of the LEACH protocol. Our energy-efficient protocol aims to maximize the lifetime of the network, by minimizing the energy consumption of each sensors nodes and cluster-heads. Minimizing the wasted energy by each sensor node is achieved by minimizing the periodic selection of CHs in each round. Minimizing the periodic selection of CHs allows decreasing the association messages exchanged between the CH and the nodes, so the consumed energy and overhead are minimized. EEV-LEACH aims also to minimize the energy consumed by the cluster-heads (CHs) by using vice CHs , which will share the workload with the CHs in an alternative way. The performances of our protocol EEV-LEACH is compared to, LEACH, LEACH-S and TL-LEACH by using MATLAB simulator, the results show that EEV-LEACH protocol extend the network lifetime and it minimizes the overall overhead versus LEACH, LEACH-S and TL-LEACH protocols.

There are various research challenges in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) that need to be focused until an extensive deployment of it becomes conceivable. Design and development of a scalable routing algorithm for VANETs is one of the critical issue due to frequent path disruptions caused by the vehicle's mobility. This study aims to provide a novel road-aware routing protocol for vehicular networks named as Two-level hierarchical Hybrid Road-Aware (THERA) routing for vehicular ad hoc networks. The proposed protocol is designed explicitly for inter-vehicle communication. In THERA, roads are distributed into non-overlapping road segments to reduce the routing overhead. Unlike other protocols, discovery process does not flood the network with packet broadcasts. Instead, THERA uses the concept of Gateway Vehicles (GV) for the discovery process. In addition, a route between source and destination is flexible to changing topology, as THERA only requires road segment ID and destination ID for the communication. Furthermore, Road-Aware routing reduces the traffic congestion, bypasses the single point of failure, and facilitates the network management. Finally yet importantly, this paper also proposes a probabilistical model to estimate a path duration for each road segment using the highway mobility model. The flexibility of the proposed protocol is evaluated by performing extensive simulations in NS3. We have used SUMO simulator to generate real time vehicular traffic on the roads of Gangnam, South Korea. Comparative analysis of the results confirm that routing overhead for maintaining the network topology is smaller than few previously proposed routing algorithms.

Wireless community networks (WCNs) are considered another form of ownership of internet protocol (IP) networks, where community members manage and own every piece of equipment in a decentralized way, and routing for traffic is done in a cooperative manner. However, the current routing protocols for WCNs suffer from stability and scalability issues. In this paper, an enhanced routing protocol is proposed based on the optimized link state routing (OLSR) protocol to meet the standards of efficiency in terms of stability and scalability. The proposed routing protocol is enhanced through two phases: multicasting expansion and multipoint relay (MPR) selection based on an analytical hierarchical process (AHP). The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed routing protocol outperforms the OLSR protocol in terms of network control overhead and packet delivery ratio by 18% and 1% respectively.

In wireless multi-hop network, many applications need multicast communication where the group leader needs to send data to all members of the group. Multicast routing provides a balanced, efficient, and fairness network environment for the group members. However, large load for transmission management to leader node and signal interference between several paths for multi-hop links always took long transmission delay and low throughput efficiency. In this paper, we propose a Zone-based Hierarchical Multicast Routing Protocol (ZHMP). This routing protocol is designed based on zone routing schemes, where proactive routing is applied for intra-zone node level multicasting and reactive routing is used for searching inter-zone paths. By each hierarchical and independent multicast working in separated zones, load of multicast source node will be distributed by several zone-level routings for a better load balance and signal interference between each multi-hop paths will be resisted for a maximum multicast throughput.
