Background: Wireless sensor network is self-organizing which consists of a large number of sensor nodes and one sink node according to recent patents. The most important characteristics of such a network are the restricted resources like battery power, consumption capacity and consumption range. Energy consumption is one of the important issues in the wireless sensor network and the challenge is to prolong the network lifespan. Objective: The objective of the proposed approach is to balance a consumption of energy at member node as well as head node of cluster during the data transmission stage and to improve energy efficiency and lifespan of the network. Methods: The aim of an energy efficient clustering method to deal with the homogenous distribution and deployment of tree structure is performed. The performance of network is enhanced by electing head node with data to the node with greater cluster rate and having lowest distance from sink node. The member node sends their data to the head node which forwards their data to the node with greater weight rate which is sent to the sink node in an energy balancing way. Results: A performance analysis of existing approach as LEACH and proposed approach as EELEACH is undertaken by considering different metrics such as energy consumption successful data delivery, throughput, routing overhead, packet delivery fraction and delay ratio. Conclusion: From result analysis, the proposed system as EELEACH shows successful data delivery, throughput, routing overhead, packet delivery fraction and delay ratio. Hence, the low energy consumption improved lifespan of the network and better data transfer rate.

Energy efficiency in wireless sensor network (WSN) is one of the primary performance parameters. For improving the energy efficiency of WSN, we introduce distributed source coding (DSC) and virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) into wireless sensor network and then propose a new data transmission scheme called DSC-MIMO. DSC-MIMO compresses the source data using distributed source coding before transmitting, which is different from the existing communication schemes. Data compression can reduce the length of the data and improve the energy efficiency. In addition, DSC-MIMO does not require the cluster heads to collect the data of the source nodes, which reduces the frequencies of data transmission and saves energy. In the simulation, we analyze the energy consumption of DSC-MIMO. The results indicate that DSC-MIMO can effectively reduce the energy consumption and improve the energy efficiency of the whole wireless sensor network.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Smart city is a connection of physical and social infrastructure together with the information technology to leverage the collective intelligence of the city. Smart cities depend on a great extent on wireless sensor network to manage and maintain their services. Advanced sensor technologies are used to acquire information and help dealing with issues like air pollution, waste management, traffic optimization, and energy efficiency. However, no matter how much smart city may focus on sensor technology, data that are produced from sensors do not organize themselves in a database. Such tasks require a sophisticated database structure to produce informative data output. Besides that, wireless sensor network requires a proper design to improve the energy efficiency. The design will aid to prolong the lifespan of wireless network efficiently. In this study, we proposed a new technique that will be used to organize the information of wireless sensor network in the spatial database. Specific algorithm which is 3D geo-clustering algorithm is used to tackle several issues of location of the sensor in three-dimensional urban area in smart city. The algorithm is designed to minimizing the overlap among group clusters. Overlap plays an important role for energy efficiency. Thus, detection of sensors in two or more group clusters will avoid it from transmitting the same signal to cluster head node. It is prove that this algorithm would only create 5% to 10% overlap among group clusters. Several experiments are performed in this study to evaluate the algorithm. Based on the simulation results indicate that this algorithm can balance nodes energy consumption and prolong the network’s life span. It also has good stability and extensibility. Several tests are performed to validate the efficiency of the technique to measure the database performance.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: 宋体;">To explore the wireless sensor network data exchange model, an addressing strategy is applied to the Internet of Things, and the real-time communication between the underlying wireless sensor network and the Internet based on the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol is realized. In addition, Hierarchical address auto configuration strategy is adopted. First of all, inside the bottom network, it allows nodes to use link local address derived by 16-bit short address for data packet transmission. Secondly, Sink node in each underlying network accesses to the global routing prefix through the upper IP router, and combined with interface identifier, it forms Sink node global address, and realizes wireless sensor network and Internet data exchange. The research results show that the strategy has certain superiority in network cost, throughput, energy consumption and other performances. In summary, the proposed addressing strategy has the characteristics of effectively integrating heterogeneous networks, reducing system energy consumption, increasing network throughput and ensuring real-time system performance for the future Internet of things.</span></span></p>

Existing duty-cycling and pipelined-forwarding (DCPF) protocols applied in battery-powered wireless sensor networks can significantly alleviate the sleep latency issue and save the energy of networks. However, when a DCPF protocol applies to a linear sensor network (LSN), it lacks the ability to handle the bottleneck issue called the energy-hole problem, which is mainly manifested due to the excessive energy consumption of nodes near the sink node. Without overcoming this issue, the lifespan of the network could be greatly reduced. To that end, this paper proposes a method of deploying redundant nodes in LSN, and a corresponding enhanced DCPF protocol called redundancy-based DCPF (RDCPF) to support the new topology of LSN. In RDCPF, the distribution of energy consumption of the whole network becomes much more even. RDCPF also brings improvements to the network in terms of network survival time, packet delivery latency, and energy efficiency, which have been shown through the extensive simulations in comparison with existing DCPF protocols.

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.

This paper proposes a level and cluster based routing approach for a wireless sensor network. Nodes in the network are divided into several levels according to their hops to sink node. Every sensor node has a level number. Using level information, a sensor node can send messages to a sink node in a more efficient way, and a sink node can easily locate other sensor nodes. To make network more balanced, the paper introduces a cluster method, which splits nodes in the same level into different clusters, and chooses a cluster head for every cluster, to switch nodes in the cluster to work in turn. Unlike all other cluster routing methods, a cluster head node takes schedule jobs of sensor nodes in the cluster according to their energy left, instead of sensing. The paper also presents several algorithms for constructing a wireless sensor network, querying and scheduling. The simulation experiment shows that the scalability of our method is approximately linear.

The power consumption and energy efficiency of wireless sensor network are the significant problems in Internet of Things network. In this paper, we consider the network topology optimization based on complex network theory to solve the energy efficiency problem of WSN. We propose the energy efficient model of WSN according to the basic principle of small world from complex networks. Small world network has clustering features that are similar to that of the rules of the network but also has similarity to random networks of small average path length. It can be utilized to optimize the energy efficiency of the whole network. Optimal number of multiple sink nodes of the WSN topology is proposed for optimizing energy efficiency. Then, the hierarchical clustering analysis is applied to implement this clustering of the sensor nodes and pick up the sink nodes from the sensor nodes as the clustering head. Meanwhile, the update method is proposed to determine the sink node when the death of certain sink node happened which can cause the paralysis of network. Simulation results verify the energy efficiency of the proposed model and validate the updating of the sink nodes to ensure the normal operation of the WSN.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is known to be a highly resource constrained class of network where energy consumption is one of the prime concerns. In this research, a cross layer design methodology was adopted to design an energy efficient routing protocol entitled “Position Responsive Routing Protocol” (PRRP). PRRP is designed to minimize energy consumed in each node by (1) reducing the amount of time in which a sensor node is in an idle listening state and (2) reducing the average communication distance over the network. The performance of the proposed PRRP was critically evaluated in the context of network lifetime, throughput, and energy consumption of the network per individual basis and per data packet basis. The research results were analyzed and benchmarked against the well-known LEACH and CELRP protocols. The outcomes show a significant improvement in the WSN in terms of energy efficiency and the overall performance of WSN.


Wireless sensor network is the network of sensor nodes. The nodes transmit data to the sink node. Each sensor nodes have its own battery and ability to communicate with sink node. Network of such nodes is called sensor network. The successful operation of WSN largely depends on MAC sublayer which deals with addressing and channel access control. WSN has varied design constraints such as energy consumption, scalability, delay, traffic control, packet delivery throughput and overheads that need an effective MAC protocol to deal with these problems. Energy must be utilized efficiently in order to increase the lifetime of the Wireless Sensor Network. MAC protocols reduce the cost of energy consumption by providing an efficient communication for transmission and hence improves network lifetime. This paper shows the implementation of FMAC Protocol in healthcare system for different reporting rates. The purpose of the study is to identify the best MAC protocol in Healthcare System. Results for implementation of Hybrid MAC for hospital network are presented in the paper. Results for Data transmission between nodes and sink node has been evaluated to identify Good MAC protocol. Paper represents how low energy consumption can be achieved by combining TDMA and CSMA MAC protocols.
