The Clustering technology of Energy efficiency wireless sensor network gets the energy efficiency by reducing the number of communication between sensor nodes and sink node. In this paper, First analyzed on the clustering technique of the distributed clustering protocol routing scheme LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) and HEED (Hybrid, Energy-Efficient Distributed Clustering Approach), and based on this, new energy-efficient clustering technique is proposed for the cause the maximum delay of dead nodes and to increase the lifetime of the network. In the proposed method, the cluster head is elect the optimal efficiency node based on the residual energy information of each member node and located information between sink node and cluster node, and elected a node in the cluster head since the data transfer process from the data been sent to the sink node to form a network by sending the energy consumption of individual nodes evenly to increase the network's entire life is the purpose of this study. To verify the performance of the proposed method through simulation and compared with existing clustering techniques. As a result, compared to the existing method of the network life cycle is approximately 5-10% improvement could be confirmed.

In this paper, we examine the problems of the low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) protocol and present ideas for improvement by selecting the cluster head node. The main problem with LEACH lies in the random selection of cluster heads. There exists a probability that the formed cluster heads are unbalanced and may remain in one part of the network, which makes some part of the network unreachable. In this paper, we present a new version of the LEACH protocol called the improved LEACH (ILEACH) protocol, which a cluster head is selected based on its ratio between the current energy level and an initial energy level, and multiplies by the root square of its number of neighbor nodes. The simulation results show that the proposed ILEACH increases the energy efficiency and network lifetime.

This paper presents an efficient user-cooperation protocol associated with cyclic coding for WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) using LEACH(Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy). Since the proposed user-cooperation requires no CSI(Channel State Information) at both transmitter and receiver, and encoding and decoding of cyclic codes are simple, the processing complexity of sensor nodes is significantly reduced. Simulation results reveal such a combination can save the network energy up to 10dB over single-hop transmission at BER of $10^{-4}$.

무선 센서 네트워크는 제한된 에너지를 가지는 작은 센서 노드들로 구성된다. 한번 배치된 센서 노드들은 유지보수 및 새로운 에너지의 공급이 어렵다. 따라서 각 노드가 가지는 제한된 에너지를 얼마나 효율적으로 사용하느냐가 무선 센서 네트워크의 수명에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 에너지 효율성 향상을 위해 연구된 LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy), LEACH-C(LEACH-Centralized), BCDCP(Base-station Controlled Dynamic Clustering Protocol)와 같은 클러스터링 기반의 계층적 라우팅 프로토콜들을 설명하고 그 문제점을 살펴본다. 그리고 그 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 방법으로 센서 필드의 노드와 싱크와의 거리를 고려한 새로운 클러스터링 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 클러스터링 기법에서 각 노드는 클러스터를 형성할 때 기존 방식에 비해 적은 역할을 수행함으로써 자신의 에너지를 보존할 수 있다.

In this paper, we first propose a power-and-bandwidth efficient cooperative transmission protocol where a sensor node assists two others for their data transmission to a clusterhead in WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) using LEACH (Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy). Then we derive its closed-form BER expression which Is also a general BER one for the decode-and-forward protocol (DF) and Prove that the proposed protocol performs as same as the conventional DF but obtains higher spectral efficiency. A variety of numerical results reveal the cooperation can save the network power up to 11dB over direct transmission at BER of $10^{-3}$.

분산형 클러스터 라우팅 기법 중 가장 대표적 프로토콜인 LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy)프로토콜은 자기구성과 제한된 전원 문제에 있어 기존의 직접전송방식에 비해 최대 8배 이상의 성능 향상을 가져왔다. 그러나 LEACH는 고정노드를 가정으로 하여 제안된 방식으로, 센서노드가 이동하는 환경에서 클러스터 구성 이후 노드가 현재 클러스터에서 이탈하는 경우 데이터의 전송을 위해서 현재의 통신을 보류하고 새로운 라운드의 클러스터 구성에 참여하여 통신해야 하므로 데이터 전송 지연과 손실을 유발 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 LEACH프로토콜을 기반으로 센서노드가 이동하는 환경에서 데이터의 전송 지연을 최소화 하기 위한 방안을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방식의 성능평가를 위해 시뮬레이션 해본 결과 이동성을 지원하지 않는 기존의 LEACH 프로토콜에 비해 데이터 전송 성공률이 향상된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Sensor nodes depend on batteries for energy source in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) is a representative cluster-based routing protocol designed to ensure energy use efficiency whereas the virtual cluster exchange routing (VCR) information only with its closest node to build a network. In this paper, a protocol scheme was proposed wherein member nodes are designed to compare the currently sensed data with the previously sensed one and to switch to sleep mode when a match is achieved. The design is to help improve the transmission energy efficiency too.

In wireless sensor networks, energy is the most important consideration because the lifetime of the sensor node is limited by battery. The clustering is the one of methods used to manage network energy consumption efficiently and LEACH(Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) is one of the most famous clustering algorithms. LEACH utilizes randomized rotation of cluster-head to evenly distribute the energy load among the sensor nodes in the network. The random selection method of cluster-head does not guarantee the number of cluster-heads produced in each round to be equal to expected optimal value. And, the cluster head in a high-density cluster has an overload condition. In this paper, we proposed both a token based cluster-head selection algorithm for guarantee the number of cluster-heads and a cluster selection algorithm for uniform-density cluster. Through simulation, it is shown that the proposed algorithm improve the network lifetime about 9.3% better than LEACH.

Energy Efficiency in any WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) is a critical issue to elongate the life of the batteries equipped in sensors. LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) is one of the mostly used routing algorithms which reduce the amount of transmitted data and save the energy in the network. In this paper, a new technique to select channels in routing algorithms is suggested and compared with the LEACH, ALEACH and PEGASIS. This technique forms clusters depending upon the node density as the deployement of the nodes is random. As a result, the proposed algorithm presents the better performance of the energy efficiency than those of the current algorithms.

무선 센서 네트워크에서는 에너지 제약이라는 특징 때문에 에너지 효율과 관련된 많은 연구가 진행되고 있지만 대부분의 연구는 에너지를 보존하기 위해 센서노드의 작업을 줄이는 소극적인 방식을 취한다. 이에 반해 파워 컨트롤 기법은 전송 파워를 조절하여 불필요한 에너지 소모를 줄이는 적극적인 방식이다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크의 클러스터 기반 라우팅 프로토콜인 LEACH(Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy)에 파워 컨트롤 기법을 적용한 LEACH-PC(LEACH-Power Control)를 제안하였다. LEACH-PC는 클러스터 구성에 사용한 RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator) 정보를 이용하여 클러스터 내부 통신 단계에서 파워 컨트롤을 수행한다. LEACH-PC는 에너지 효율성 측면에서 기존의 LEACH 보다 좋은 성능을 보임을 실험을 통해 확인할 수 있었다.
