Prolonging the network lifetime in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Clustering has been recognized has one of the significant methods in achieving this, It entails grouping of sensor nodes into clusters and electing cluster heads (CHs) for all the clusters. CH’s accept data from relevant cluster’s nodes and forward the aggregate data to base station. A main challenge in WSNs is the selection of appropriate cluster heads. This work proposes a system that is efficient, scalable and load balanced. The proposed scheme combines two known algorithms namely k-means clustering and genetic algorithms based on the weaknesses identified in the two. The simulated data is obtained through the enhancement of clustering by the cluster head (base station) that helps in locating the nearest node that is important in the data transfer instead of transferring to a node that is not necessary, thereby wasting time and resources. The obtained simulation results indicate that this approach is efficient and last longer in elongating the battery life time than the conventional method by 60%.

A sensor network has many sensor nodes with limited energy. One of the important issues in these networks is the increase of the life time of the network. In this article, a clustering algorithm is introduced for wireless sensor networks that considering the parameters of distance and remaining energy of each node in the process of cluster head selection. The introduced algorithm is able to reduce the amount of consumed energy in the network. In this algorithm, the nodes that have more energy and less distance from the base station more probably will become cluster heads. Also, we use algorithm for finding the shortest path between cluster heads and base station.

There is no doubt that the most challenging aspect in the wireless sensor networks (WSN) is the lifetime, due to limitations in their energy. WSN depends on a specific group of sensor nodes to gather the data from other nodes and forward it to the base station (BS). These nodes are called cluster heads. Having reliable cluster head’s (CH) means longer life to the network. In this paper, a versatile calculation has been acquainted and analyzed for selecting the CH that maintains the least vitality utilization in the network with appropriate life time during every correspondence round. The altered methodology depends on the improved calendar of the time division multiple access (TDMA) plans. This methodology is created to decide the next CH based on lifetime, expended vitality, number of CH’s, and the frequent contact to the BS. A comparative analysis is introduced, the proposed algorithm assistant cluster heads (ACHS) shows energizing outcomes in vitality utilization in WSNs just as expanding the general system dependability with reasonable viability and productivity in terms of lifetime. The ACHS strategy shows a decrease in the WSN vitality utilization up to about 25% and shows an expansion in the system life time by 30% than the upgraded timetable of time TDMA plan approach.

Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Network

Extending the lifetime of a wireless sensor network is vital in ensuring continuous monitoring functions in a target environment. Many techniques have appeared that seek to achieve such prolonged sensing gains. Clustering and improved selection of cluster heads play essential roles in the performance of sensor network functions. Cluster head in a hierarchical arrangement is responsible for transmitting aggregated data from member nodes to a base station for further user-specific data processing and analysis. Minimising the quick dissipation of cluster heads energy requires a careful choice of network factors when selecting a cluster head to prolong the lifetime of a wireless sensor network. In this work, we propose a multi-criteria cluster head selection technique to extend the sensing lifetime of a heterogeneous wireless sensor network. The proposed protocol incorporates residual energy, distance, and node density in selecting a cluster head. Each factor is assigned a weight using the Rank Order Centroid based on its relative importance. Several simulation tests using MATLAB 7.5.0 (R2007b) reveal improved network lifetime and other network performance indicators, including stability and throughput, compared with popular protocols such as LEACH and the SEP. The proposed scheme will be beneficial in applications requiring reliable and stable data sensing and transmission functions.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) consists of a large amount of nodes connected in a self-directed manner. The most important problems in WSN are Energy, Routing, Security, etc., price of the sensor nodes and renovation of these networks is reasonable. The sensor node tools included a radio transceiver with an antenna and an energy source, usually a battery. WSN compute the environmental conditions such as temperature, sound, pollution levels, etc., WSN built the network with the help of nodes. A sensor community consists of many detection stations known as sensor nodes, every of which is small, light-weight and portable. Nodes are linked separately. Each node is linked into the sensors. In recent years WSN has grow to be an essential function in real world. The data’s are sent from end to end multiple nodes and gateways, the data’s are connected to other networks such as wireless Ethernet. MGEAR is the existing mechanism. It works with the routing and energy consumption. The principal problem of this work is choosing cluster head, and the selection is based on base station, so the manner is consumes energy. In this paper, develop the novel based hybrid protocol Low Energy Aware Gateway (LEAG). We used Zigbee techniques to reduce energy consumption and routing. Gateway is used to minimize the energy consumption and data is send to the base station. Nodes are used to transmit the data into the cluster head, it transmit the data into gateway and gateway compress and aggregate the data then sent to the base station. Simulation result shows our proposed mechanism consumes less energy, increased throughput, packet delivery ration and secure routing when compared to existing mechanism (MGEAR).

Dynamic and cooperative nature of sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks raises question on security. Various researchers work in this direction to spot malicious, selfish and compromised nodes. Various mechanisms followed are uniqueness of clustering, reputation system and an operation at specific nodes. LEACH is a hierarchical protocol in which most nodes transmit to cluster heads, and the cluster heads aggregate and compress the data and forward it to the base station (sink). Each node uses a stochastic algorithm at each round to determine whether it will become a cluster head in this round. Clustering process carried out in two stages takes the role of the reputation scheme and reveals specific operation at CH, IN and MNs beside their usual activities in cluster based wireless sensor networks. This paper mentioned the final structure of the security framework, corresponding attacks and defense mechanism of the model. It also discusses various security level processes of wireless sensor networks. Results implies that in a cluster-based protocol such as LEACH in which optimally 5% of the nodes are cluster heads it is likely that a significant portion of the network can be paralyzed or the entire network disabled, in the worst-case scenario, if these cluster heads are compromised. Our main contribution in this paper is our novel approach in maintaining trusted clusters through a trust-based decision-making cluster head election algorithm.

Wireless sensor networks are greatly habituated in widespread applications but still yet step behind human intelligence and vision. The main reason is constraints of processing, energy consumptions and communication of image data over the sensor nodes. Wireless sensor network is a cooperative network of nodes called motes. Image compression and transmission over a wide ranged sensor network is an emerging challenge with respect to battery, life time constraints. It reduces communication latency and makes sensor network efficient with respect to energy consumption. In this paper we will have an analysis and comparative look on different image compression techniques in order to reduce computational load, memory requirements and enhance coding speed and image quality. Along with compression, different transmission methods will be discussed and analyzed with respect to energy consumption for better performance in wireless sensor networks.

Secure Network

In wireless sensor networks (WSN), the majority of the inquiries are issued at the base station. WSN applications frequently require collaboration among countless sensor nodes in a network. One precedent is to persistently screen a region and report occasions. A sensor node in a WSN is initially allocated with an energy level, and based on the tasks of that sensor node, energy will be reduced. In this chapter, two proposed methods for secure network cluster formation and authentication are discussed. When a network is established then all the nodes in it must register with cluster head and then authentication is performed. The selection of cluster head is done using a novel selection algorithm and for authenticating the nodes. Also, a novel algorithm for authentication is used in this chapter. The validation and authorization of nodes are carried over by managing the keys in WSN. The results have been analyzed using NS2 simulator with an aid of list of relevant parameters.
