Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are good field for research which can be applied almost in any area and in any circumstances. The traditional LEACH protocol is considered for the research and in this work the Improved LEACH is introduced as an energy efficient Cluster Head (CH) selection considering the energy and distance as parameters. The probability function is modified with the energy and distance...
Hierarchical routing is an efficient way to lower energy consumption within a cluster, performing data aggregation and fusion in order decrease the number of transmitted messages to the BS. In this paper, a novel hierarchical approach called distributed energy efficient adaptive clustering protocol with Data Gathering (DEACP) is proposed for Wireless sensor network. Since nodes in a sensor network...
A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a lot of inexpensive sensors that have a limited energy resource. Many applications including environment monitoring use a clustering approach for efficient energy consumption. LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) is the most famous one of clustering protocols, which enables the balanced consumption of energy to prolong network lifetime. In LEACH,...
In this paper, we consider the cross-layer optimization of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) under the constraints of total energy consumption and transmission delay. A Gaussian WSN with time division multiple access (TDMA) media access control (MAC) layer protocol is used here. The sensed data are contaminated by sensor noise, before converting to digital bits by quantization. The digital bits are...
WSNs (wireless sensor networks) are networks that hundreds or thousands of nodes poured in a field and nodes try to send sensed event to base station (BS). In many cases, the BS isn't in the field and is so far away from nodes. Energy efficiency is one of the major concerns in wireless sensor networks since it impacts the network lifetime. So instead of transmitting directly to BS, in hierarchical...
The recent interest in Wireless Sensor Networks has led to a number of clustering algorithms that use the limited energy available at sensors more efficiently. In this article, we present a heritable clustering algorithm based on HEED for low energy wireless sensor network. It brings in appointment mechanism to reduce the cluster head reelect overhead efficiently. In the cluster, TDMA communication...
Wireless sensor network consists of hundreds or thousands of tiny sensor nodes, which can monitor remote environment and it's useful in military and civilian applications. The limitation of the batteries of sensor nodes necessitates that the energy efficiency is a key issue in WSN. We proposed a novel protocol LEACH-L based on the geographical location of nodes, which improves the LEACH on its clustering...
TDMA has been proposed as a MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to its efficiency in high WSN load. However, TDMA is plagued with shortcomings; we present modifications to TDMA that will allow for the same efficiency of TDMA, while allowing the network to conserve energy during times of low load (when there is no activity being detected). Recognizing that aggregation plays an essential...
Mobility of sensor nodes posed new challenges particularly in energy consumption and demands researchers' attention. Some real applications impose combined environments of fixed and mobile sensor nodes in the same network, while others demand a complete mobile sensors environment. Packet loss that occurs due to mobility of the sensor nodes is one of main challenges in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)...
The availability of low-powered and cheap microprocessors, radio frequency integrated circuits and the development of new wireless communication techniques, make the wireless sensor networks (WSN) one of todays most promising technologies. Minimizing energy consumption and maximizing the lifetime of the networks are key requirements in the design of sensor network applications. Optimally designed...
Distributed sensor system applications (e.g., wireless sensor networks) have been studied extensively in recent years. Such applications involve resource-limited embedded sensor nodes that communicate with each other through self-organizing protocols. Depending on application requirements, distributed sensor system design may include protocol and prototype implementation. Prototype implementation...
