One of the major challenges in the design of wireless sensor network (WSN) is to reduce the energy consumption of sensor nodes for prolonging the network lifetime. In the sensor network, communication is the most energy consuming event. Therefore, most of the energy saving techniques conserve energy by adjusting different parameters of the trans-receiver. Among them, one of the promising methods is the transmission power control (TPC). In this paper, we investigated the effects of the link quality based TPC scheme employed to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for energy saving. The simulation results demonstrated that the link quality based TPC scheme works effectively in conserving energy as compared to the conventional IEEE 802.15.4.

최근 무선 센서 네트워크는 고정형 센서 노드(고정노드)와이동형 센서 노드(이동노드)가 상존하여 네트워크를 구성하고 각종 다양한 서비스를 제공하기 위한 어플리케이션이 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 이동노드의 위치인식 서비스가 그 중에 하나인데, 이동노드의 위치정보가 보장이 되고 이동노드간 메시지 전송을 하는 서비스도 요구되고 있다. 하지만 이동노드의 이동성을 예측하기는 쉽지가 않고 빠르게 움직이는 이동노드일 경우 이러한 서비스는 실패할 확률이 높다. 그리하여 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 상위 라우터에서 메시지를 관리할 수 있는 미들웨어 구조를 제안하고 이 시스템을 검증하였다.

Based on the current solutions to the problem of energy hole, this paper proposed a nonuniform node distribution clustering algorithm, NNDC. Firstly, we divide the network into rings, and then have an analysis and calculation on nodes' energy consumption in each ring of the network when clustering algorithm is applied to collect data. We also put forward a scheme of nonuniform node distribution on the basis of the proportion of nodes' energy consumption in each ring, and change nodes' active/hibernating states under density control mechanism when network coverage is guaranteed. Simulation shows NNDC algorithm can satisfyingly balance nodes' energy consumption and effectively avoid the problem of energy hole.

최근 서비스 패러다임이 언제나 같은 서비스를 제공하는 수동적 형태의 서비스에서 현재의 상황에 맞게 (context-aware) 서비스를 제공하는 능동적 형태의 서비스로 변화하고 있다. 이때 현재 상황(context) 중에서 가장 중요한 정보가 위치정보이다. 따라서 효율적이면서도 정밀한 실내 위치인식 방법에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구팀은 이러한 위치인식의 요구사항을 만족시키기 위해 WSN(Wireless Sensor Network)을 이용한 위치인식 시스템을 제안한 바 있다. 하지만 기존 방법은 높은 효율성에 비해 위치인식의 정밀도가 낮은 단점이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 제안한 위치인식 프로토콜의 단점을 보완하기 위해 fingerprint 중첩을 사용하여 보다 높은 정밀도를 가지는 위치인식 방법을 제안한다. 기존 LIDx 프로토콜과 제안한 방법을 병행함으로써 효율적이면서도 정밀한 위치 인식형 서비스가 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

Centrality has been actively studied in network analysis field. In this paper we show a calculation method of closeness centrality for WSN. Since nodes in a sensor network are very scarce in energy and computation capability the calculation of the closeness is done in two tiers by dividing network into clusters. In first step closeness centrality for cluster heads is calculated. In the second step closeness of member nodes of the chosen cluster is computed in respect to that cluster itself.

An energy-efficient multi-hop scheme based on cooperative MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) technique is proposed for wireless sensor networks, taking into consideration the modulation constellation size, transmission distance, and extra training overhead requirement. The scheme saves energy by selecting the hop length. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, a detailed analysis of the energy and delay efficiencies in the proposed scheme compared with the equidistance scheme is presented. Results from numerical experiments indicate that by use of the proposed scheme significant savings in terms of total energy cousumption can be achieved.

Leading MAC protocols developed for duty-cycled WSNs such as B-MAC employ a long preamble and channel sampling. The long preamble introduces excess latency at each hop and suffers from excess energy consumption at non-target receivers. In this paper we propose AS-MAC (Asynchronous Sensor MAC), a low power MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). AS-MAC solves these problems by employing a series of preload approach that retains the advantages of low power listening and independent sleep schedule. Moreover AS-MAC offers an additional advantage such as flexible duty cycle as data rate varies. We demonstrate that AS-MAC is better performance than B-MAC through analysis and evaluation.

In this paper, we proposes a multi-ring based mobile sink location scheme for solar-powered wireless sensor network (WSN). The proposed scheme maintains the multi-rings in which nodes keep the current location of sink node. With the help of nodes in multi-rings, each node can locate the sink node efficiently with low-overhead. Moreover, because our scheme utilizes only surplus energy of a node, it can maintain multiple rings without degrading any performance of each node. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme shows much better latency and scalability with lower energy-consumption than the existing single-ring based scheme.

This paper proposes a hierarchical routing algorithm for enhancing survivability of sensor nodes on WSAN. Proposed algorithm has two important parts. The first is a clustering algorithm that uses distance between sensor and actor, and remaining energy of sensor nodes for selecting cluster head. It will induce uniform energy consumption, and this has a beneficial effect on network lifetime. The second is an enhanced routing algorithm that uses the shortest path tree. The energy efficient routing is very important in WSAN which has energy limitation. As a result, proposed algorithm extends network and nodes lifetime through consuming energy efficiently. Simulation results show that the proposed clustering algorithm outperforms conventional routing algorithms such as VDSPT in terms of node and network life time, delay, fairness, and data transmission ratio to BS.
