Abstract Coverage of the bounded region gets importance in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Area coverage is based on effective surface coverage with a minimum number of sensor nodes. Most of the researchers contemplate the coverage region of interest as a square and manifest the radio ranges as a circle. The area of a circle is much higher than the area of a square because of the perimeter. To utilize the advantage of the circle, the coverage region of interest is presumed as a circle for sensor node deployment. This paper proposes a novel coverage improved disc shape deployment strategy. Comparative analysis has been observed between circle and square regions of interest based on the cumulative number of sensor nodes required to cover the entire region. A new strategy named as disc shape deployment strategy is also proposed. Traditional hexagon and strip-based deployment strategies are compared with the disc shape deployment strategy. The simulation result shows that the circle shape coverage region of interest extremely reduces the required number of sensor nodes. The proposed deployment strategy provides desirable coverage, and it requires few more sensor nodes than hexagon shape deployment strategy.

The deployment of Linear Wireless Sensor Network (LWSN) in underwater environment has attracted several research studies in the underwater data collection research domain. One of the major issues in underwater data collection is the lack of robust structure in the deployment of sensor nodes. The challenge is more obvious when considering a linear pipeline that covers hundreds of kilometers. In most of the previous work, nodes are deployed not considering heterogeneity and capacity of the various sensor nodes. This lead to the problem of inefficient data delivery from the sensor nodes on the underwater pipeline to the sink node at the water surface. Therefore, in this study, an Enhanced Underwater Linear Wireless Sensor Network Deployment (EULWSND) has been proposed in order to improve the robustness in linear sensor underwater data collection. To this end, this paper presents a review of related literature in an underwater linear wireless sensor network. Further, a deployment strategy is discussed considering linearity of the underwater pipeline and heterogeneity of sensor nodes. Some research challenges and directions are identified for future research work. Furthermore, the proposed deployment strategy is implemented using AQUASIM and compared with an existing data collection scheme. The result demonstrates that the proposed EULWSND outperforms the existing Dynamic Address Routing Protocol for Pipeline Monitoring (DARP-PM) in terms of overhead and packet delivery ratio metrics. The scheme performs better in terms of lower overhead with 17.4% and higher packet delivery with 20.5%.

The wide deployment of wireless sensor networks is the primary reason behind the advancement of numerous routing protocols. In this context, sensors need to be remotely conveyed in unattended situations. Further, propels in wireless sensor network innovation have ensured accessibility and minimal effort in terms of sensor hubs with a capacity to sense various physical and natural environment conditions, in addition to wireless communication and data processing. Moreover, wireless sensor networks are rather different from regular and cellular networks, which comprise nodes with restricted bandwidth and energy. However, the most important limitation of wireless sensor networks is their characteristic limited energy resources. Furthermore, there is an imbalance of power consumption in their sensor nodes. Therefore, it is preferable to distribute the amount of energy throughout a wireless sensor network to minimize the maintenance and maximize the overall system performance. To this end, this paper suggests a new strategy in wireless sensor network dissemination and routing protocols referred to as the Fast Simple Flooding Strategy, which focuses on energy efficiency as a crucial design objective for routing protocols used in wireless sensor networks, without the overhead of other design factors, and reduces end-to-end latency. Additionally, this new strategy can be listed under flat approaches; it is simple and very fast in delivering the packet to the sink and does not require additional equipment or complex mathematical operations. It also resolves the major drawbacks of classic flooding and gossiping.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">The relation between the density of a randomly distributed wireless sensor network node and the node’s energy consumption is discussed, and the result shows that the way to extend the network lifetime is to deploy sink nodes in the field with a larger density of sensor nodes. Furthermore, the RDF algorithm a simple, effective and highly efficient strategy for deploying sink nodes, is proposed in this paper based on simulation results. The said algorithm determines the sink node location by giving reference for a large density of sensor nodes. Additionally, the sink node deployment can be efficiently achieved through dividing the region of network and the sink node communication range. Lastly, through simulation verification, the RDF algorithm deployment strategy is further proved valid and effective from the perspective of network lifetime and message delivery rate. </span></p>

The Cluster Head is selected on the basis of maximum number of nodes connected, thus several sensor nodes cannot reach any CH, even though they are in the transmission range. These nodes are called the isolated nodes. To solve this problem, the proposed a sub_cluster protocol, its role is to reduce the sensor nodes which do not belong the cluster. The major novel contribution of the proposed work is the sub_cluster protocol which provides coverage of the whole network with a minimum number of isolated nodes and has a very high connectivity rates. The sub_cluster protocol allows firstly with great cluster can be grouped many sub_cluster protocol connected to major CH, each sub_cluster protocol, can be connected of the maximum nodes non CH.

Background: It is important to improve the quality of service by using congestion detection technology to find the potential congestion as early as possible in wireless sensor network. Methods: So an improved congestion control scheme based on traffic assignment and reassignment algorithm is proposed for congestion avoidance, detection and mitigation. The congestion area of the network is detected by predicting and setting threshold. When the congestion occurs, sensor nodes can be recovery quickly from congestion by adopting reasonable method of traffic reassignment. And the method can ensure the data in the congestion areas can be transferred to noncongestion areas as soon as possible. Results: The simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme can reduce the number of loss packets, improve the throughput, stabilize the average transmission rate of source node and reduce the end-to-end delay. Conclusion: : So the proposed scheme can enhance the overall performance of the network. Keywords: wireless sensor network; congestion control; congestion detection; congestion mitigation; traffic assignment; traffic reassignment.

Clustering the sensor nodes and choosing the way for routing the data are two key elements that would affect the performance of a wireless sensor network (WSN). In this paper, a novel clustering method is proposed and a simple two-hop routing model is adopted for optimizing the network layer of the WSN. New protocol is characterized by simplicity and efficiency (SE). During the clustering stage, no information needs to be shared among the nodes and the position information is not required. Through adjustment of two parameters in SE, the network on any scale (varies from the area and the number of nodes) could obtain decent performance. This work also puts forward a new standard for the evaluation of the network performance—the uniformity of the nodes' death—which is a complement to merely taking the system lifetime into consideration. The combination of these two aspects provides a more comprehensive guideline for designing the clustering or routing protocols in WSN.
