In this paper, a monitoring technique based on the wireless sensor network is investigated. The sensor nodes used for monitoring are developed in a simulation environment. Accordingly, the structure and workflow of wireless sensor network nodes are designed. Time-division multiple access (TDMA) protocol has been chosen as the medium access technique to ensure that the designed technique operates in an energy-efficient manner and packet collisions are not experienced. Fading channels, i.e., no interference, Ricean and Rayleigh, are taken into consideration. Energy consumption is decreased with the help of ad-hoc communication of sensor nodes. Throughput performance for different wireless fading channels and energy consumption are evaluated. The simulation results show that the sensor network can quickly collect medium information and transmit data to the processing center in real time. Besides, the proposed technique suggests the usefulness of wireless sensor networks in the terrestrial areas.

Wireless sensor network consists of various sensor nodes connected through wireless media. Sensor nodes are tiny devices having lesser energy capabilities. Sensor nodes are either ad-hoc or mobile in their environment. Wireless sensor network route of transmission media is discovered by routing protocols and responsible for secure communication between sensor nodes. Energy is a precious resource of sensor nodes, and the entire lifetime of WSNs is depending on the energy capability of the sensor nodes. The fundamental problem is how to organize topology of WSN for deployed sensor nodes with lesser power consumption as possible. Major problems in wireless sensor networks which consume extra energy are interference, control message overhead, packet delay, unnecessary transmission, and bandwidth utilization. Therefore, energy efficient techniques are needed to overcome these problems. Hierarchical routing is the best routing method for finding optimal path between sensor nodes which enhance the lifetime of the network. This paper focuses towards various hierarchical energy efficient routing in wireless sensor networks and analyzes various features of WSN that should consider during designing of routing protocols.

Background & Objective: In this paper, a new energy efficient LEACH-based protocol for wireless sensor network is presented. One of the main issues in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is the battery consumption. In fact, changing batteries is a time consuming task and expensive. It is even impossible in many remote WSNs. Methods: The main goal of the presented protocol is to decrease the energy consumption of each node and increase the network lifetime. Lower power consumption results in longer battery lifetime. This protocol takes the advantage of sub-threshold technique and bee colony algorithm in order to optimize the energy consumption of a WSN. Simulation results show that the energy consumption of the wireless sensor network reduces by 25 percent using STBCP in comparison with recent LEACHbased protocols. It has been shown that the average energy of the network remains balanced and the distribution of residual energy in each round is equitable. Conclusion: In addition, the lifetime of a network using STBCP protocol has been increased by 23 percent regarding recently presented routing protocols.

The main goal of this research is concerning clustering protocols to minimize the energy consumption of each node, and reduce number of transmission in wireless sensor network. However, most existing clustering protocols consume large amounts of energy, incurred by cluster formation overhead and fixed-level clustering, particularly when sensor nodes are densely deployed in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose TPR (Teen-Pegasis Routing)  protocol, which is a  low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy and  threshold sensitive  energy  efficient sensor  network protocol.  This proposed algorithm combine both proactive and reactive routing protocol.

Now a days Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have grown rapidly due to advancement of information technology. Sensor nodes are deployed over the field for collecting useful information. Sensor nodes have limited battery power and bandwidth. As a result it is critical for planning energy efficient protocols in WSNs. It is necessary to transfer and gather information in optimized way to reduce the energy dissipation. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is already proved to be better technique to optimize the network routing protocols in WSNs. Ant based routing can have significant role to extend the network life time and balance energy consumption in WSNs. In this chapter wireless sensor network architecture, routing factors of wireless sensor networks, computational intelligence technique, ant colony algorithm and ant colony based balanced energy consumption approaches in wireless sensor network have been discussed.

The Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) has become an interesting field of research of the 21st century. It is a type of the wireless ad-hoc network. This has brought about developing low cost, low-power and multi-function sensor nodes. The network life for wireless sensor network plays an important role in survivability. Energy efficiency is one of the critical concerns for wireless sensor networks. Sensor nodes are strictly constrained in terms of storage, board energy and processing capacity. For these reasons, many new protocols have been proposed for the purpose of data routing in sensor networks. These protocols can be classified into three main categories: data-centric, location-based and hierarchical. This paper mainly deals with some of the major Energy-efficient hierarchical routing protocols for wireless sensor networks. First we will discuss the energy-efficient Hierarchical routing protocols in brief along with their important features, objectives, drawbacks and area of application. Finally, we provide a comparison of these various protocols.

The wireless sensor networks have become a very hot topic of research in the recent years because of their wide range of applications such as industrial and agricultural monitoring, military surveillance, smart homes etc. These sensors can also be used in locations that are potentially hazardous to the human beings or are just out of our reach at this moment of time. A wireless sensor network is collection of large number of individual sensor nodes. A sensor usually comprises of components for sensing the environment, processing, communicating and a power supply. The major limiting factor of the wireless sensor networks is the limited amount of power that each of the sensors can carry and also the energy in these sensors cannot be replenished easily. So, the major design challenge in a wireless sensor network has always been about reduction in the consumption of energy by the sensors. Clustering is one of the popular methods to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor networks. Here, we propose a scheme to decrease the energy consumption and prolong the lifetime of wireless sensor network. The main idea behind the scheme is that we try to minimise the communication distance between the individual sensor nodes using the clustering technique.

Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been recognized as one of the most essential technologies of the 21st century. The applications of WSNs are rapidly increasing in almost every sector because they can be deployed in areas where cable and power supply are difficult to use. In the literature, different methods have been proposed to minimize energy consumption of sensor nodes so as to prolong WSNs utilization. In this article, we propose an efficient routing protocol for data transmission in WSNs; it is called Energy-Efficient Hierarchical routing protocol for wireless sensor networks based on Fog Computing (EEHFC). Fog computing is integrated into the proposed scheme due to its capability to optimize the limited power source of WSNs and its ability to scale up to the requirements of the Internet of Things applications. In addition, we propose an improved ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm that can be used to construct optimal path for efficient data transmission for sensor nodes. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated in comparison with P-SEP, EDCF, and RABACO schemes. The results of the simulations show that the proposed approach can minimize sensor nodes’ energy consumption, data packet losses and extends the network lifetime

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are becoming increasingly popular due to their applications in a wide variety of areas. Sensor nodes in a WSN are battery operated which outlines the need of some novel protocols that allows the limited sensor node battery to be used in an efficient way. The authors propose the use of nature-inspired algorithms to achieve energy efficient and long-lasting WSN. Multiple nature-inspired techniques like BBO, EBBO, and PSO are proposed in this chapter to minimize the energy consumption in a WSN. A large amount of data is generated from WSNs in the form of sensed information which encourage the use of big data tools in WSN domain. WSN and big data are closely connected since the large amount of data emerging from sensors can only be handled using big data tools. The authors describe how the big data can be framed as an optimization problem and the optimization problem can be effectively solved using nature-inspired algorithms.
