Optimized Cluster-Based Dynamic Energy-Aware Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks in Agriculture Precision
[EN] Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are becoming one of the demanding platforms, where sensor nodes are sensing and monitoring the physical or environmental conditions and transmit the data to the base station via multihop routing. Agriculture sector also adopted these networks to promote innovations for environmental friendly farming methods, lower the management cost, and achieve scientific cultivation. Due to limited capabilities, the sensor nodes have suffered with energy issues and complex routing processes and lead to data transmission failure and delay in the sensor-based agriculture fields. Due to these limitations, the sensor nodes near the base station are always relaying on it and cause extra burden on base station or going into useless state. To address these issues, this study proposes a Gateway Clustering Energy-Efficient Centroid- (GCEEC-) based routing protocol where cluster head is selected from the centroid position and gateway nodes are selected from each cluster. Gateway node reduces the data load from cluster head nodes and forwards the data towards the base station. Simulation has performed to evaluate the proposed protocol with state-of-the-art protocols. The experimental results indicated the better performance of proposed protocol and provide more feasible WSN-based monitoring for temperature, humidity, and illumination in agriculture sector.This work has also been partially supported by the European Union through the ERANETMED (Euromediterranean Cooperation through ERANET joint activities and beyond) project ERANETMED3-227 SMARTWATIR.Qureshi, KN.; Bashir, MU.; Lloret, J.; León Fernández, A.

EZ-AG: Structure-free data aggregation in MANETs using push-assisted self-repelling random walks
This paper describes EZ-AG, a structure-free protocol for duplicate
insensitive data aggregation in MANETs. The key idea in EZ-AG is to introduce a
token that performs a self-repelling random walk in the network and aggregates
information from nodes when they are visited for the first time. A
self-repelling random walk of a token on a graph is one in which at each step,
the token moves to a neighbor that has been visited least often. While
self-repelling random walks visit all nodes in the network much faster than
plain random walks, they tend to slow down when most of the nodes are already
visited. In this paper, we show that a single step push phase at each node can
significantly speed up the aggregation and eliminate this slow down. By doing
so, EZ-AG achieves aggregation in only O(N) time and messages. In terms of
overhead, EZ-AG outperforms existing structure-free data aggregation by a
factor of at least log(N) and achieves the lower bound for aggregation message
overhead. We demonstrate the scalability and robustness of EZ-AG using ns-3
simulations in networks ranging from 100 to 4000 nodes under different mobility
models and node speeds. We also describe a hierarchical extension for EZ-AG
that can produce multi-resolution aggregates at each node using only O(NlogN)
messages, which is a poly-logarithmic factor improvement over existing
techniques
DESIGN OF MOBILE DATA COLLECTOR BASED CLUSTERING ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consisting of hundreds or even thousands of
nodes, canbe used for a multitude of applications such as warfare intelligence or to
monitor the environment. A typical WSN node has a limited and usually an
irreplaceable power source and the efficient use of the available power is of utmost
importance to ensure maximum lifetime of eachWSNapplication. Each of the nodes
needs to transmit and communicate sensed data to an aggregation point for use by
higher layer systems. Data and message transmission among nodes collectively
consume the largest amount of energy available in WSNs. The network routing
protocols ensure that every message reaches thedestination and has a direct impact on
the amount of transmissions to deliver messages successfully. To this end, the
transmission protocol within the WSNs should be scalable, adaptable and optimized
to consume the least possible amount of energy to suite different network
architectures and application domains. The inclusion of mobile nodes in the WSNs
deployment proves to be detrimental to protocol performance in terms of nodes
energy efficiency and reliable message delivery. This thesis which proposes a novel
Mobile Data Collector based clustering routing protocol for WSNs is designed that
combines cluster based hierarchical architecture and utilizes three-tier multi-hop
routing strategy between cluster heads to base station by the help of Mobile Data
Collector (MDC) for inter-cluster communication. In addition, a Mobile Data
Collector based routing protocol is compared with Low Energy Adaptive Clustering
Hierarchy and A Novel Application Specific Network Protocol for Wireless Sensor
Networks routing protocol. The protocol is designed with the following in mind:
minimize the energy consumption of sensor nodes, resolve communication holes
issues, maintain data reliability, finally reach tradeoff between energy efficiency and
latency in terms of End-to-End, and channel access delays. Simulation results have
shown that the Mobile Data Collector based clustering routing protocol for WSNs
could be easily implemented in environmental applications where energy efficiency of
sensor nodes, network lifetime and data reliability are major concerns
Robotic Wireless Sensor Networks
In this chapter, we present a literature survey of an emerging, cutting-edge,
and multi-disciplinary field of research at the intersection of Robotics and
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) which we refer to as Robotic Wireless Sensor
Networks (RWSN). We define a RWSN as an autonomous networked multi-robot system
that aims to achieve certain sensing goals while meeting and maintaining
certain communication performance requirements, through cooperative control,
learning and adaptation. While both of the component areas, i.e., Robotics and
WSN, are very well-known and well-explored, there exist a whole set of new
opportunities and research directions at the intersection of these two fields
which are relatively or even completely unexplored. One such example would be
the use of a set of robotic routers to set up a temporary communication path
between a sender and a receiver that uses the controlled mobility to the
advantage of packet routing. We find that there exist only a limited number of
articles to be directly categorized as RWSN related works whereas there exist a
range of articles in the robotics and the WSN literature that are also relevant
to this new field of research. To connect the dots, we first identify the core
problems and research trends related to RWSN such as connectivity,
localization, routing, and robust flow of information. Next, we classify the
existing research on RWSN as well as the relevant state-of-the-arts from
robotics and WSN community according to the problems and trends identified in
the first step. Lastly, we analyze what is missing in the existing literature,
and identify topics that require more research attention in the future
Machine Learning in Wireless Sensor Networks: Algorithms, Strategies, and Applications
Wireless sensor networks monitor dynamic environments that change rapidly
over time. This dynamic behavior is either caused by external factors or
initiated by the system designers themselves. To adapt to such conditions,
sensor networks often adopt machine learning techniques to eliminate the need
for unnecessary redesign. Machine learning also inspires many practical
solutions that maximize resource utilization and prolong the lifespan of the
network. In this paper, we present an extensive literature review over the
period 2002-2013 of machine learning methods that were used to address common
issues in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The advantages and disadvantages of
each proposed algorithm are evaluated against the corresponding problem. We
also provide a comparative guide to aid WSN designers in developing suitable
machine learning solutions for their specific application challenges.Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorial
A comparative study of clusterhead selection algorithms in wireless sensor networks
In Wireless Sensor Network, sensor nodes life time is the most critical
parameter. Many researches on these lifetime extension are motivated by LEACH
scheme, which by allowing rotation of cluster head role among the sensor nodes
tries to distribute the energy consumption over all nodes in the network.
Selection of clusterhead for such rotation greatly affects the energy
efficiency of the network. Different communication protocols and algorithms are
investigated to find ways to reduce power consumption. In this paper brief
survey is taken from many proposals, which suggests different clusterhead
selection strategies and a global view is presented. Comparison of their costs
of clusterhead selection in different rounds, transmission method and other
effects like cluster formation, distribution of clusterheads and creation of
clusters shows a need of a combined strategy for better results.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, 5 tables, Int JournaL, International Journal of
