In long distance sensor nodes, propagation delay is the most crucial factor for the successful transmission of data packets in underwater acoustic sensors networks (UWAs). Therefore, to cope with the problem of propagation delay, we propose examining and selecting the best relay node (EBRN) technique based on checking the eligibility and compatibility of RN and selecting the best RN for UWAs. In the EBRN technique, the source node (S) creates a list of the best RNs, based on the minimum propagation delay to the midpoint of a direct link between S and the destination node (D). After that, the S attaches the list of selected RNs and transmit to the D along with data packets. Finally, from the list of selected RNs, the process of retransmission is performed. To avoid collision among control packets, we use a backoff timer that is calculated from the received signal strength indicator (RSSI), propagation delay and transmission time, whereas the collision among data packets is avoided by involving single RN in a particular time. The performance of the proposed EBRN technique is analyzed and evaluated based on throughput, packet loss rate (LR), packet delivery ratio (PDR), energy efficiency, and latency. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed EBRN technique. Compared with the existing schemes such as underwater cooperative medium access control (UCMAC) and shortest path first (SPF), the proposed EBRN technique performs remarkably well by increasing the throughput, PDR, and energy efficiency while decreasing the latency and LR in UWAs.

Background & Objective: Wireless communication has immensely grown during the past few decades due to significant demand for mobile access. Although cost-effective as compared to their wired counterpart, maintaining good quality-of-service (QoS) in these networks has always remained a challenge. Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) systems, which consists of multiple transmitter and receiver antennas, have been widely acknowledged for their QoS and transmit diversity. Though suited for cellular base stations, MIMO systems are not suited for small-sized wireless nodes due to their hardware complexity, cost, and increased power requirements. Cooperative communication that allows relays, i.e. mobile or fixed nodes in a communication network, to share their resources and forward other node’s data to the destination node has substituted the MIMO systems nowadays. To harness the full benefit of cooperative communication, appropriate relay node selection is very important. This paper presents an efficient single-hop distributed relay supporting medium access control (MAC) protocol (EDSRS) that works in the single-hop environment and improves the energy efficiency and the life of relay nodes without compensating the throughput of the network. Methods: The protocol has been simulated using NS2 simulator. The proposed protocol is compared with energy efficient cooperative MAC protocol (EECOMAC) and legacy distributed coordination function (DCF) on the basis of throughput, energy efficiency, transmission delay and an end to end delay with various payload sizes. Result and Conclusion: The result of the comparison indicates that the proposed protocol (EDSRS) outperforms the other two protocols.

Medium access control (MAC) is one of the key requirements in underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs). For a MAC protocol to provide its basic function of efficient sharing of channel access, the highly dynamic underwater environment demands MAC protocols to be adaptive as well. Q-learning is one of the promising techniques employed in intelligent MAC protocol solutions, however, due to the long propagation delay, the performance of this approach is severely limited by reliance on an explicit reward signal to function. In this paper, we propose a restructured and a modified two stage Q-learning process to extract an implicit reward signal for a novel MAC protocol: Packet flow ALOHA with Q-learning (ALOHA-QUPAF). Based on a simulated pipeline monitoring chain network, results show that the protocol outperforms both ALOHA-Q and framed ALOHA by at least 13% and 148% in all simulated scenarios, respectively.

In underwater sensor networks (UWSNs), the unique characteristics of acoustic channels have posed great challenges for the design of medium access control (MAC) protocols. The long propagation delay problem has been widely explored in recent literature. However, the long preamble problem with acoustic modems revealed in real experiments brings new challenges to underwater MAC design. The overhead of control messages in handshaking-based protocols becomes significant due to the long preamble in underwater acoustic modems. To address this problem, we advocate the receiver-initiated handshaking method with parallel reservation to improve the handshaking efficiency. Despite some existing works along this direction, the data polling problem is still an open issue. Without knowing the status of senders, the receiver faces two challenges for efficient data polling: when to poll data from the sender and how much data to request. In this paper, we propose a traffic estimation-based receiver-initiated MAC (TERI-MAC) to solve this problem with an adaptive approach. Data polling in TERI-MAC depends on an online approximation of traffic distribution. It estimates the energy efficiency and network latency and starts the data request only when the preferred performance can be achieved. TERI-MAC can achieve a stable energy efficiency with arbitrary network traffic patterns. For traffic estimation, we employ a resampling technique to keep a small computation and memory overhead. The performance of TERI-MAC in terms of energy efficiency, channel utilization, and communication latency is verified in simulations. Our results show that, compared with existing receiver-initiated-based underwater MAC protocols, TERI-MAC can achieve higher energy efficiency at the price of a delay penalty. This confirms the strength of TERI-MAC for delay-tolerant applications.

Ad Hoc Network Communication is mobile networks communications and have a high mobility for each of its nodes. This type of network communications is a temporary networkwith utilizing a WiFi network or Bluethoot as a medium of communications. In the entirenetwork, node moves with a speed varying and unpredictable direction. Packets data delivery from the source node to destination node by using an ad hoc network requires its owntechniques. In this research discussed the existing data communication technique inVehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANETs) Communications with attention: Broadcasting Time, Routing Protocol, Message Dissemination, Delay Tolerant Network Dissemination and / DTN.These techniques can increase the delivery ratio / sending data packets to the destination as well as a smaller delay time. In order to maintain the integrity of the data packets received bythe destination node, the authors have proposed a method of duplicate messages in thisresearch.

In this paper, a power control method is proposed for a buffer-aided relay node (RN) to enhance the energy efficiency of the RN system. By virtue of a buffer, the RN can reserve the data at the buffer when the the channel gain between an RN and a destination node (DN) is weaker than that between SN and RN. The RN then opportunistically forward the reserved data in the buffer according to channel condition between the RN and the DN. By exploiting the buffer, RN reduces transmit power when it reduces the transmit data rate and reserve the data in the buffer. Therefore, without any total throughput reduction, the power consumption of RN can be reduced, resulting in the energy efficiency (EE) improvement of the RN system. Furthermore, for the power control, we devise a simple power control method based on a two-dimensional surface fitting model of an optimal transmit power of RN. The proposed RN power control method is readily and locally implementable at the RN, and it can significantly improve EE of the RN compared to the fixed power control method and the spectral efficiency based method as verified by the rigorous numerical results.

Power Balancing

A vitality effective protocol configuration is a key testing issue in a network of Wireless Sensor. A portion of the few existing vitality effective protocols plots dependably forward the bundles through the base vitality based ideal course to the sink to limit vitality utilization. It causes a disturbed dispersion of remaining vitality between sensor nodes, which prompts partitioning of the network. The prime objective of this method is to pass the data packets to destination node through the vitality denser range within Sensor Networks Lifetime. The current procedure Energy Balanced Routing Protocol (EBRP) neglects to accomplish Throughput, Delay part, keeping in mind the end goal to enhance the Network Lifetime and Performance so the proficient steering convention is required with the abilities of both the Power Efficient and Power Balancing. To resolve this problem, this manuscript proposed Impediment Sensitive Power Unbiased Dynamic Routing Protocol (ISPUDRP). The proposed steering system accomplishes as far as End-to-End Delay, Throughput and Lifetime of network. This manuscript shows that proposed calculation accomplishes better execution performance than the current strategies.

Nowadays, wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) are used in various applications. An energy-efficient and robust routing protocol is essential for WMSNs because the quality of service is important for traffic-intensive multimedia data, such as images and videos. A WMSN with multiple sinks allows cluster heads (CHs) to deliver the collected data to the nearest sink, thereby mitigating the delivery overhead. In this study, we propose a novel evolutionary-game-based routing (EGR) protocol for WMSNs with multiple sinks, in which the evolutionary game theory is exploited for selecting CHs. In EGR, an algorithm to mitigate data redundancy, based on the overlapping field of views of the multimedia sensor nodes, is also presented. This algorithm decreases the number of redundant transmissions, thereby increasing energy efficiency and network performance. According to the performance evaluation results of this study, the proposed EGR significantly outperforms the state-of-art protocols in terms of energy efficiency, end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio, cluster formation time, and network lifetime.

Algorithm Framework

An underwater acoustic wireless sensor network (UA-WSN) consists of many resource-constrained underwater sensor nodes (USNs), which are deployed to perform collaborative monitoring tasks over a given region. One way to preserve network connectivity while guaranteeing other network QoS is to deploy some relay nodes (RNs) in the networks. Although RNs' function is more powerful than USNs, but they can lead to more interference and their cost is more expensive. This paper addresses constrained low-interference relay node deployment problem for 3-D UA-WSNs in which the RNs are placed at a subset of candidate locations to ensure connectivity between the USNs such that the number of RNs deployed and the value of total incremental interference are minimized. We first prove that it is NP-hard, then propose a general approximation algorithm framework. Based on the framework, we get two polynomial time O(1)-approximation algorithms.

Urban Scenario

When a delay/disruption tolerant network (DTN) is applied in an urban scenario, the network is mainly composed of mobile devices carried by pedestrians, cars, and other vehicles, and the node’s movement trajectory is closely related to its social relationships and regular life; thus, most existing DTN routing algorithms cannot show efficient network performance in urban scenarios. In this paper, we propose a routing algorithm, called DCRA, which divides the urban map into grids; fixed sink stations are established in specific grids such that the communication range of each fixed sink station can cover a specific number of grids; these grids are defined as a cluster and allocated a number of tokens in each cluster; the tokens in the cluster are controlled by the fixed sink station. A node will transmit messages to a relay node that has a larger remaining buffer size and encounters fixed sink stations or the destination node more frequently after it obtains a message transmit token. Simulation experiments are carried out to verify the performance of the DCAR under an urban scenario, and results show that the DCAR algorithm is superior to existing routing algorithms in terms of delivery ratio, average delay, and network overhead.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) represent a promising solution in the fields of the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine networks for smart home applications. However, to feasibly deploy wireless sensor devices in a smart home environment, four key requirements must be satisfied: stability, compatibility, reliability routing, and performance and power balance. In this study, we focus on the unreliability problem of the IEEE 802.15.4 WSN medium access control (MAC), which is caused by the contention-based MAC protocol used for channel access. This problem results in a low packet delivery ratio, particularly in a smart home network with only a few sensor nodes. In this paper, we first propose a lightweight WSN protocol for a smart home or an intelligent building, thus replacing the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol, which is highly complex and has a low packet delivery ratio. Subsequently, we describe the development of a discrete event system model for the WSN by using a GRAFCET and propose a development platform based on a reconfigurable FPGA for reducing fabrication cost and time. Finally, a prototype WSN controller ASIC chip without an extra CPU and with our proposed lightweight MAC was developed and tested. It enhanced the packet delivery ratio by up to 100%.
