There is a class of special environments, such as roads, mines tunnels, rivers, bridges, and pipelines, whose geographical shapes are long-narrow for several hundred meters. Wireless sensor networks (WSN) can be applied to monitor these environments. Long-narrow structure makes the WSN face plenty of challenges, such as unbalanced energy consumption and data aggregation. This paper proposes a nonuniform symmetric cluster model (NUSCM) using reasonable coverage routing controlling. The NUSCM consists of two base stations, sensor node clusters (SNCs) and transmission node clusters (TNCs), which can make the sensor networks be scalable to cover various long-narrow structures. Hierarchical nodes spacing and routing strategy of NUSCM are addressed. Furthermore, we simulate the proposed NUSCM, in comparison with the nonuniform deployment with two base stations (NUD-TBS) and uniform deployment with two base stations (UD-TBS). Research results indicate that the NUSCM and NUD-TBS have the same energy efficiency, which are better than that of UD-TBS. Moreover, NUSCM is superior to the UD-TBS and NUD-TBS in the link communication load and network survivability.

In recent years, energy efficiency and data gathering is a major concern in many applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). One of the important issues in WSNs is how to save the energy consumption for prolonging the network lifetime. For this purpose, many novel innovative techniques are required to improve the energy efficiency and lifetime of the network. In this paper, we propose a novel Energy Efficient Clustering and Data Aggregation (EECDA) protocol for the heterogeneous WSNs which combines the ideas of energy efficient cluster based routing and data aggregation to achieve a better performance in terms of lifetime and stability. EECDA protocol includes a novel cluster head election technique and a path would be selected with maximum sum of energy residues for data transmission instead of the path with minimum energy consumption. Simulation results show that EECDA balances the energy consumption and prolongs the network lifetime by a factor of 51%, 35% and 10% when compared with Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH), Energy Efficient Hierarchical Clustering Algorithm (EEHCA) and Effective Data Gathering Algorithm (EDGA), respectively.

In designing Wireless Sensor Networks, energy efficiency and security should be considered very critically. Energy efficiency is achieved through data aggregation which eliminates the transmission of redundant data while security is achieved by preserving confidentiality among sensor node and the base station. In this paper, an energy efficient and secure cluster based aggregation mechanism is presented. In this model, for energy efficiency the network is divided into tracks and sectors so the cluster head’s are uniformly selected from the whole network. To achieve security the cluster head’s perform data aggregation with the help of some pattern codes and only distinctive data is transmitted from sensor nodes in encrypted form. To perform aggregation, the sensor nodes do not need to know about the actual sensor data therefore there is no need to use any encryption or decryption schemes between nodes and cluster head. Performance evaluation shows proposed model works better to enhance the network lifetime, security, average residual energy, and average packet transmission ratio than conventional data aggregation models.

Data aggregation is a widely adopted method to effectively reduce the data transmission volume and improve the lifetime of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In the data aggregation networks, some parameters directly determine the delay of aggregation. In industrial applications, the data generated by different sensors have different requirements for delay or other QoS performance. In the previous study, a common strategy is that all kinds of data is aggregated into one frame when the condition is satisfied with a QoS requirement, which causes excessive energy consumption and severely impairs the lifetime of network. A Differentiated Data Aggregation Routing (DDAR) scheme is proposed to reduce energy consumption and guarantee that the delay could be controlled within the corresponding QoS requirement constraint. The primary contributions of the DDAR scheme are the following: (a) The DDAR scheme makes data with different QoS requirement route to the sink along the different paths. The parameters of the aggregators in each path, such as aggregation deadline (Tt) and the aggregation threshold (Nt), are configured according to the QoS requirements. Accordingly, energy consumption can be reduced without degrading the performance of data transmission. (b) Based on DDAR scheme, an improved DDAR scheme is proposed to further improve performance through fully utilize the residual energy in the nodes which are far from the sink. The frequency of aggregation of these nodes increases by reducing the value of Tt and Nt so as to further improve the energy efficiency and reduce delay. Simulation results demonstrate that compared with the previous scheme, this scheme reduces the delay by 25.01%, improves the lifetime by 55.45%, and increases energy efficiency by 83.99%. The improved DDAR scheme improves the energy efficiency by 33.97% and service guarantee rate by 10.11%.
