Clustering Protocols

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a combination of various small size processing units called sensors. Sensors are deployed over a region to monitor the environment and other happenings. Sensors sense the environmental situations and communicate the sensor data to nearby nodes or base stations. Sensor’s energy keeps on depleting due to their multiple functionalities like sensing, aggregating of received data and communication with neighbor nodes. Energy constraint is one of the vital challenges for sensor nodes as they are majorly operational in unreachable locations with non-replaceable power resources. Various techniques have been implemented to overcome the challenge of limited power resources. Clustering is one of the techniques that facilitate to prolong the network lifetime through effective utilization of energy resources. Numerous clustering protocols have been implemented based on various parameters. Mutual Exclusive Distributive Clustering (MEDC) is one of the distributed clustering protocols that elect the cluster head based on residual energy. Selected cluster head performs the dual functionality i.e. combining the collected data and sending the same to the base station. This paper present the proposed algorithm which employed relay nodes in MEDC to distribute the load of cluster head and the distribution would lead to further enhance the network lifetime of WSN.

Energy Awareness

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.

Trust Evaluation

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: Wireless sensor networks are considered as one of the 21st century's most important technologies. Sensors in wireless sensor networks usually have limited and sometimes non-rechargeable batteries, which they are supposed to be preserved for months or even years. That's why the energy consumption in these networks is of a great importance. Objective: One way to improve energy consumption in a wireless sensor network is to use clustering. In clustered networks, one node is known as the cluster head and other nodes as normal members, which normal nodes send the collected data to the cluster head, and the cluster head sends the information to the base station either by a single step or by multiple steps. Method: Using clustering simplifies resource management and increases scalability, reliability, and the network lifetime. Although the cluster formation involves a time- overhead and how to choose the cluster head is another problem, but its advantages are more than its disadvantages. : The primary aim of this study is to offer a solution to reduce energy consumption in the sensor network. In this study, during the selection of cluster heads, Honeybee Algorithm is used and also for routing, Harmonic Search Algorithm is used. In this paper, the simulation is performed by using MATLAB software and the proposed method is compared with the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) and the multi-objective fuzzy clustering algorithm (MOFCA). Result and Conclusion: By simulations of this study, we conclude that this research has remarkably increased the network lifetime with respect to EECS, LEACH, and MOFCA algorithms. In view of the energy constraints of the wireless sensor network and the non-rechargeable batteries in most cases, providing such solutions and using metaheuristic algorithms can result in a significant reduction in energy consumption and, consequently, increase in the network lifetime.

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%.

Secret Keys

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.

Wireless sensor nodes are usually embedded in the physical environment and report sensed data to a central base station. Clustering is one of the most challenging issues in wireless sensor networks. This paper proposes a new cluster scheme for wireless sensor network by modified the K means clustering algorithm. Sensor nodes are deployed in a harsh environment and randomly scattered in the region of interest and are deployed in a flat architecture. The transmission of packet will reduce the network lifetime. Thus, clustering scheme is required to avoid network traffic and increase overall network lifetime. In order to cluster the sensor nodes that are deployed in the sensor network, the location information of each sensor node should be known. By knowing the location of the each sensor node in the wireless sensor network, clustering is formed based on the highest residual energy and minimum distance from the base station. Among the group of nodes, one node is elected as a cluster head using centroid method. The minimum distance between the cluster node’s and the centroid point is elected as a cluster head. Clustering of nodes can minimize the residual energy and maximize the network performance. This improves the overall network lifetime and reduces network traffic.

<span lang="EN-US">Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a distributed wireless connection that consists many wireless sensor devices. It is used to get information from the surrounding activities or the environment and send the details to the user for future work. Due to its advantages, WSN has been widely used to help people to collect, monitor and analyse data. However, the biggest limitation of WSN is about the network lifetime. Usually WSN has a small energy capacity for operation, and after the energy was used up below the threshold value, it will then be declared as a dead node. When this happens, the sensor node cannot receive and send the data until the energy is renewed. To reduce WSN energy consumption, the process of selecting a path to the destination is very important. Currently, the data transmission from sensor nodes to the cluster head uses a single hop which consumes more energy; thus, in this paper the enhancement of previous algorithm, which is MAP, the data transmission will use several paths to reach the cluster head. The best path uses a small amount of energy and will take a short time for packet delivery. The element of Shortest Path First (SPF) Algorithm that is used in a routing protocol will be implemented. It will determine the path based on a cost, in which the decision will be made depending on the lowest cost between several connected paths. By using the MATLAB simulation tool, the performance of SPF algorithm and conventional method will be evaluated. The expected result of SPF implementation will increase the energy consumption in order to prolong the network lifetime for WSN.</span>

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.

Wireless sensor network consists of small sensing nodes having unique characteristics in networks field and energy awareness routing for communication capabilities, computational power consumption. A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a grouping of sensor nodes in a network that perform to support Sensing, Signal processing, Communications and Connectivity for data processing and transmit the information to the destiny (Base station) through neighboring nodes with the help of energy source (batteries). The batteries used in WSN neither to be recharged nor be replace. It is necessary to extend the network lifetime for better performance. Many protocols have their own specific design but major issue is energy awareness. Based on number of nodes present in the field and the speeds at which the multiple parameters like Packet delivery ratio, network lifetime, overhead control are compared. In this paper, the proposed protocol is an efficient energy routing protocol which tries to provide fairness in network. Simulation results through MATLAB are presented.

Battery Capacity

Due to the resource constraint, in wireless sensor network, the node processing ability, wireless bandwidth and battery capacity and other resources are scarcer. For improving the energy efficient and extend the lifetime of the network, this paper proposes a novel algorithm with the distributed and energy-efficient for collecting and aggregating data of wireless sensor network. In the proposed protocol, nodes can autonomously compete for the cluster head based on its own residual energy and the signal strength of its neighbouring nodes. To reduce the energy overhead of cluster head nodes, with a multi-hop way among cluster heads, the collected data from cluster heads is sent to a designated cluster head so as to further send these data to a base station. For improving the performance of the proposed protocol, a new cluster coverage method is proposed to fit the proposed protocol so that when the node density increases, network lifetime can be increased linearly as the number of nodes is increased. Simulations experiments show that network lifetime adopting the proposed protocol is sharply increased. And, the proposed protocol makes all the nodes die (network lifetime is defined as the death of last one node) in the last 40 rounds so that networks adopting the proposed protocol have higher reliability than networks adopting compared protocols.
