Wireless sensor network has revolutionized the way computing and software services are delivered to the clients on demand. Wireless sensor network is very important to the mankind. It consist of number of sensor called nodes and a base station. Nodes collect data and send to the base station. There are number of nodes which send data at a time. So, number of problems are occurred. So, far this nodes are divided into cluster then a cluster head will be formed. WSN is a battery powered system. When the battery is died no data send or received. So when all nodes participate for sending and receiving data then system is died earlier. Our research work proposed a new method for cluster head selection having less computational complexity. It was also found that the modified approach has improved performance to that of the other clustering approaches. The network area is divided into same sized small–small regions. Sensor nodes are randomly deployed in each predefined sub-area. Each region will have its region head (RH) and multiple member nodes. The member nodes in a specific region will send the data to the RH. RH within the region will be elected by distributed mechanism and will be based on fuzzy variables. It was found that the proposed algorithm gives a much improved network lifetime as compared to existing work. Based on our model, transmission tuning algorithm for cluster-based WSNs has been proposed to balance the load among cluster heads that fall in different regions. This algorithm is applied prior to a cluster algorithm to improve the performance of the clustering algorithm without affecting the performance of individual sensor nodes.

Wireless sensor network swears an exceptional fine-grained interface between the virtual and physical worlds. The clustering algorithm is a kind of key technique used to reduce energy consumption. Many clustering, power management, and data dissemination protocols have been specifically designed for wireless sensor network (WSN) where energy awareness is an essential design issue. Each clustering algorithm is composed of three phases cluster head (CH) selection, the setup phase, and steady state phase. The hot point in these algorithms is the cluster head selection. The focus, however, has been given to the residual energy-based clustering protocols which might differ depending on the application and network architecture. In this paper, a survey of the state-of-the-art clustering techniques in WSNs has been compared to find the merits and demerits among themselves. It has been assumed that the sensor nodes are randomly distributed and are not mobile, the coordinates of the base station (BS) and the dimensions of the sensor field are known.

The wireless sensor network is the decentralized type of network which can sense information and pass it to base station. The energy consumption is the major issue of WSN due to small of sensor nodes and far deployment of the network. The clustering is the efficient approach to increase lifetime of the sensor network. In the approach of clustering cluster head are selected for the data aggregation. The fuzzy logic rules are derived based on node energy, distance to base station for the cluster head selection, which increase lifetime of sensor nodes in the existing system. In this research work, cache nodes are deployed in the network which reduce energy consumption of WSN. In the proposed approach cluster head send data to cache nodes and it will forward data to base station. The simulation is performed in MATLAB and proposed technique performs well in terms of number of packets transmitted, number of dead nodes, network lifetime, throughput and remaining energy.

A Wireless Sensor Network is a collection of sensor nodes distributed into a network to monitor the environmental conditions and send the sensed data to the Base Station. Wireless Sensor Network is one of the rapidly developing area in which energy consumption is the most important aspect to be considered while tracking, monitoring, reporting and visualization of data. An Energy Efficient Prediction-based Clustering algorithm is proposed to track the moving object in wireless sensor network. This algorithm reduces the number of hops between transmitter and receiver nodes and also the number of transmitted packets. In this method, the sensor nodes are statically placed and clustered using LEACH-R algorithm. The Prediction based clustering algorithm is applied where few nodes are selected for tracking which uses the prediction mechanism to predict the next location of the moving object. The Current Location of the target is found using Trilateration algorithm. The Current Location or Predicted Location is sent to active Cluster Head from the leader node or the other node. Based on which node send the message to the Cluster Head, the Predicted or Current Location will be sent to the base station. In real time, the proposed work is applicable in traffic tracking and vehicle tracking. The experiment is carried out using Network Stimulator-2 environment. Simulation result shows that the proposed algorithm gives a better performance and reduces the energy consumption.

Wireless sensor network has revolutionized the way computing and software services are delivered to the clients on demand. Our research work proposed a new method for cluster head selection having less computational complexity. It was also found that the modified approach has improved performance to that of the other clustering approaches. The cluster head election mechanism will include various parameters like maximum residual energy of a node, minimum separation distance and minimum distance to the mobile node. Each CH will create a TDMA schedule for the member nodes to transmit the data. Nodes will have various level of power for signal amplification. The three levels of power are used for amplifying the signal. As the member node will send only its own data to the cluster head, the power level of the member node is set to low. The cluster head will send the data of the whole cluster to the mobile node, therefore the power level of the cluster head is set to medium. High power level is used for mobile node which will send the data of the complete sector to the base station. Using low energy level for intra cluster transmissions (within the cluster) with respect to cluster head to mobile node transmission leads in saving much amount of energy. Moreover, multi-power levels also reduce the packet drop ratio, collisions and/ or interference for other signals. It was found that the proposed algorithm gives a much improved network lifetime as compared to existing work. Based on our model, multiple experiments have been conducted using different values of initial energy.

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a vital form of the underlying technology of the internet of things (IoT); WSN comprises several energy-constrained sensor nodes to monitor various physical parameters. Moreover, due to the energy constraint, load balancing plays a vital role considering the wireless sensor network as battery power. Although several clustering algorithms have been proposed for providing energy efficiency, there are chances of uneven load balancing and this causes the reduction in network lifetime as there exists inequality within the network. These scenarios occur due to the short lifetime of the cluster head. These cluster head (CH) are prime responsible for all the activity as it is also responsible for intra-cluster and inter-cluster communications. In this research work, a mechanism named lifetime centric load balancing mechanism (LCLBM) is developed that focuses on CH-selection, network design, and optimal CH distribution. Furthermore, under LCLBM, assistant cluster head (ACH) for balancing the load is developed. LCLBM is evaluated by considering the important metrics, such as energy consumption, communication overhead, number of failed nodes, and one-way delay. Further, evaluation is carried out by comparing with ES-Leach method, through the comparative analysis it is observed that the proposed model outperforms the existing model.


21st century is considered as the era of communication, and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have assumed an extremely essential job in the correspondence period. A wireless sensor network is defined as a homogeneous or heterogeneous system contains a large number of sensors, namely called nodes used to monitor different environments in cooperatives. WSN is composed of sensor nodes (S.N.), base stations (B.S.), and cluster head (C.H.). The popularity of wireless sensor networks has been increased day by day exponentially because of its wide scope of utilizations. The applications of wireless sensor networks are air traffic control, healthcare systems, home services, military services, industrial & building automation, network communications, VAN, etc. Thus the wide range of applications attracts attackers. To secure from different types of attacks, mainly intruder, intrusion detection based on dynamic state context and hierarchical trust in WSNs (IDSHT) is proposed. The trust evaluation is carried out in hierarchical way. The trust of sensor nodes is evaluated by cluster head (C.H.), whereas the trust of the cluster head is evaluated by a neighbor cluster head or base station. Hence the content trust, honest trust, and interactive trust are put forward by combining direct evaluation and feedback based evaluation in the fixed hop range. In this way, the complexity of trust management is carried in a hierarchical manner, and trust evaluation overhead is minimized.

Background & Objective: Wireless sensor networks are made up of huge amount of less powered small sensor nodes that can audit the surroundings, collect meaningful data, and send it base station. Various energy management plans that pursue to lengthen the endurance of overall network has been proposed over the years, but energy conservation remains the major challenge as the sensor nodes have finite battery and low computational capabilities. Cluster based routing is the most fitting system to help for burden adjusting, adaptation to internal failure, and solid correspondence to draw out execution parameters of wireless sensor network. Low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy is an efficient clustering based hierarchical protocol that is used to enhance the lifetime of sensor nodes in wireless sensor network. It has some basic flaws that need to be overwhelmed in order to reduce the energy utilization and inflating the nodes lifetime. Methods : In this paper, an effective auxiliary cluster head selection is used to propose a new enhanced GC-LEACH algorithm in order to minimize the energy utilization and prolonged the lifespan of wireless sensor network. Results & Conclusion: Simulation is performed in NS-2 and the outcomes show that the GC-LEACH outperforms conventional LEACH and its existing versions in the context of frequent cluster head rotation in various rounds, number of data packets collected at base station, as well as reduces the energy consumption 14% - 19% and prolongs the system lifetime 8% - 15%.

The nodes within a cluster of Wireless Sensor Network deployed in adverse areas face the security threats of eavesdropping and capturing. The fundamental issue in wireless sensor network security is to initialize secure communication between sensor nodes by setting up secret keys between communicating nodes. Because of limited hardware capacity, conventional network cryptography is infeasible for sensor network. In this paper a key management technique is proposed for clustered sensor network that uses some cryptographic operation to generate secret keys. This key is updated in response to the message of cluster head or base station. The key update instructions are stored in each sensor nodes before deployed in sensor field. The updated secret key is used to communicate between nodes and cluster head.

A Wireless Sensor Network or WSN is supposed to be made up of a large number of sensors and at least one base station. The sensors are autonomous small devices with several constraints like the battery power, computation capacity, communication range and memory. They also are supplied with transceivers to gather information from its environment and pass it on up to a certain base station, where the measured parameters can be stored and available for the end user. In most cases, the sensors forming these networks are deployed randomly and left unattended to and are expected to perform their mission properly and efficiently. As a result of this random deployment, the WSN has usually varying degrees of node density along its area. Sensor networks are also energy constrained since the individual sensors, which the network is formed with, are extremely energy-constrained as well. Wireless sensor networks have become increasingly popular due to their wide range of application. Clustering sensor nodes organizing them hierarchically have proven to be an effective method to provide better data aggregation and scalability for the sensor network while conserving limited energy. Minimizing the energy consumption of a wireless sensor network application is crucial for effective realization of the intended application in terms of cost, lifetime, and functionality. However, the minimizing task is hardly possible as no overall energy cost function is available for optimization.


Robust and efficient algorithms for routing and other process for a wireless sensor network are under active development due to technological advancements on wireless transmission systems. Each of the sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network either transmits or forwards the data packets to the base station. The main objective of the majority of the work in the literature is to save the energy consumption efficiently. The cluster based routing mechanism helps to achieve low energy consumption within the network. The network organizes its nodes as a cluster and selects a particular node as cluster head to manage the transmission within and between clusters. The majority of the clustering approach selects the cluster head using a thresholding based approach. Nodes having energy level higher than the threshold are the candidates for the cluster head selection. In the proposed approach the nodes remaining energy and the sum of distance between individual nodes to the cluster head node is considered. Optimal cluster head selection will help to increase the overall life time of the network. The distance between the sensor nodes is estimated using RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) and other parameters measured from the physical layer. Experiments are conducted with simulation environment created with the NS-2 simulator and efficiency of the approach is analyzed in detail.
