Due to limited energy resources, different design strategies have been proposed in order to achieve better energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks, and organizing sensor nodes into clusters and data aggregation are among such solutions. In this work, secure communication protocol is added to clustered wireless sensor network. Security is a very important requirement that keeps the overall system usable and reliable by protecting the information in the network from attackers. The proposed and implemented AES block cipher provides confidentiality to the communication between nodes and base station. The energy efficiency of LEACH clustered network and with added security is analyzed in detail. In LEACH clustering along with the implemented data aggregation technique 48% energy has been saved compared to not clustered and no aggregation network. The energy consumption overhead of the AES-based security is 9.14%. The implementation is done in Contiki and the simulation is carried out in Cooja emulator using sky motes.

In recent years, there has been a rapid evolution of wireless technologies that has led to the challenge of high demand for spectral resources. To overcome this challenge, good spectrum management is required that calls for more efficient use of the spectrum. In this paper, we present a general system, which makes a tradeoff between the spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) in the cellular cognitive radio networks (CCRN) with their respective limits. We have analyzed the system taking into account the different types of power used in the CCRN, namely the spectrum detection power (Zs) and the relay power (Zr). Optimal policy for emission power allocation formulated in the function of sub-channel activity index (SAI) as an optimization problem in order to maximize spectrum utilization and minimize the energy consumption in the base station of the secondary system energy consumption, is subject to different constraints of the main user system. We also evaluate the collaborative activity index of the sub-channel describing the activity of the primary users in the CCRN. The theoretical analyses and simulation results sufficiently demonstrate that the SE and EE relationship in the CCRN is not contrary and thus the achievement of optimal tradeoff between SE and EE. By making a rapprochement with a cognitive cellular network where SBSs adopts an equal power allocation strategy for sub-channels, the results of our proposed scheme indicate a significant improvement. Therefore, the model proposed in this paper offers a better tradeoff between SE and EE.

Energy efficiency in cellular networks has received significant attention from both academia and industry because of the importance of reducing the operational expenditures and maintaining the profitability of cellular networks, in addition to making these networks “greener.” Because the base station is the primary energy consumer in the network, efforts have been made to study base station energy consumption and to find ways to improve energy efficiency. In this paper, we present a brief review of the techniques that have been used recently to improve energy efficiency, such as energy-efficient power amplifier techniques, time-domain techniques, cell switching, management of the physical layer through multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) management, heterogeneous network architectures based on Micro-Pico-Femtocells, cell zooming, and relay techniques. In addition, this paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each technique to contribute to a better understanding of each of the techniques and thereby offer clear insights to researchers about how to choose the best ways to reduce energy consumption in future green radio networks.

Cluster-based hierarchical routing protocols play an essential role in decreasing the energy consumption of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) has been proposed as an application-specific protocol architecture for WSNs. However, without considering the distribution of the cluster heads (CHs) in the rotation basis, the LEACH protocol will increase the energy consumption of the network. To improve the energy efficiency of the WSN, we propose a novel modified routing protocol in this paper. The newly proposed improved energy-efficient LEACH (IEE-LEACH) protocol considers the residual node energy and the average energy of the networks. To achieve satisfactory performance in terms of reducing the sensor energy consumption, the proposed IEE-LEACH accounts for the numbers of the optimal CHs and prohibits the nodes that are closer to the base station (BS) to join in the cluster formation. Furthermore, the proposed IEE-LEACH uses a new threshold for electing CHs among the sensor nodes, and employs single hop, multi-hop, and hybrid communications to further improve the energy efficiency of the networks. The simulation results demonstrate that, compared with some existing routing protocols, the proposed protocol substantially reduces the energy consumption of WSNs.

Network lifetime and throughput are the major considerations for determining the overall performance of a wireless sensor network (WSN). There have been various protocols proposed based on Hierarchical Clustering to improve network lifetime. The proposed Regional-Based LEACH is a centralized cluster-based protocol for extending the stability period of the WSNs. This protocol aims to accomplish better energy efficiency by dividing the sensing field into sub-regions and selects Cluster Heads for each region based on their residual energy along with the incorporation of Base station mobility. This leads to a relatively uniform energy consumption and residual energy level among the nodes in a region leading to an extended stability period.

Energy efficiency is an important issue in the wireless communication system as the increasing number of wireless network users and the emerging data usage. Heterogeneous network (HetNet) is a possible way to reduce the energy consumption since the distance between user equipment (UE) and the base station is shortened in HetNet, which sharply reduce the pathloss between the transmitter and receiver. This paper investigates the energy efficiency of Pico-Macro system in terms of Joule per bit. A effects of using Cell Range Extension (CRE) of Picocell based on energy efficiency is investigated and verified through the simulation results.

Energy efficiency is one of the important factors when exploiting Wireless Sensor Networks, especially for increasing lifespan and performance. In the network nowadays, the number of sensor nodes can reach hundreds or thousands and can be arranged in complex hierarchical architecture. Besides, the current sensor nodes have a small size, limited battery source but are operated in vast areas. The clustered-based method has been an effective and potentially extensible means of boosting the management and operation of such large-scale networks and minimizing the overall energy consumption. In this paper, the issue of arranging and routing the nodes in the sensor network in a hierarchical manner is investigated, in which each lowest level sensor nodes are grouped in a cluster with a common cluster head, then the cluster-head plays an intermediate role transmit the information back and forth between the sensor nodes and the base station. In this way, the route to exchange information can not only be optimized with respect to the distance but also for energy spent on the communication. In order to do so, this paper proposed a novel method based on a Genetic Algorithm to establish a routing protocol to achieve energy optimization. The results demonstrate that this approach can decrease the energy consumption according to the optimized routing through clustering and increase the performance superior to the other clustering schemes.

Background: With the advent of IoT, the deployment of batteries with a limited lifetime in remote areas is a major concern. In certain conditions, the network lifetime gets restricted due to limited battery constraints. Subsequently, the collaborative approaches for key facilities help to reduce the constraint demands of the current security protocols. Aim: This work covers and combines a wide range of concepts linked by IoT based on security and energy efficiency. Specifically, this study examines the WSN energy efficiency problem in IoT and security for the management of threats in IoT through collaborative approaches and finally outlines the future. The concept of energy-efficient key protocols which clearly cover heterogeneous IoT communications among peers with different resources has been developed. Because of the low capacity of sensor nodes, energy efficiency in WSNs has been an important concern. Methods: Hence, in this paper, we present an algorithm for Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) which reviews security and energy consumption to discuss their constraints in the IoT scenarios. Results: The results of a detailed experimental assessment are analyzed in terms of communication cost, energy consumption and security, which prove the relevance of a proposed ABC approach and a key establishment. Conclusion: The validation of DTLS-ABC consists of designing an inter-node cooperation trust model for the creation of a trusted community of elements that are mutually supportive. Initial attempts to design the key methods for management are appropriate individual IoT devices. This gives the system designers, an option that considers the question of scalability.

Background and Objective: The functionalities of wireless sensor networks (WSN) are growing in various areas, so to handle the energy consumption of network in an efficient manner is a challenging task. The sensor nodes in the WSN are equipped with limited battery power, so there is a need to utilize the sensor power in an efficient way. The clustering of nodes in the network is one of the ways to handle the limited energy of nodes to enhance the lifetime of the network for its longer working without failure.
