<span>Wireless sensor networks comprise of a large number of lightweight and relatively low-cost computational nodes which their main task is to sense the surrounding environment and collect the information to send it wirelessly to a central point to take the appropriate actions. Although these networks had been used in various applications, achieving this task is challenging due to the many constraints of sensor nodes including their limited processing power, communication bandwidth, and power supply. Therefore, an energy efficient routing protocols had to be developed specifically for sensor networks to insure longer lifetime and reasonable performance of the network. In this work, we propose an energy efficient hierarchical routing protocol using chain-based clustering. <span>By simulation on MATLAB, the proposed protocol proved to enhance the performance as it prolongs the lifetime of the network and decreases the energy consumption, the transmission delay, and the overhead compared to other existing protocols as it depends on some advanced methods including dynamic selection of number of chains method, k-means clustering method, advanced greedy chain construction method, and multi-factor based leader selection method.</span></span>

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of low cost tiny sensor nodes with limited energy resource, so it is a tedious task to develop energy efficient routing schemes that enhances the network lifetime. In WSN, clustering is used to improve the efficiency of finite energy resource. LEACH protocol is one of the widely used clustering techniques in WSN. So, in this paper, an energy efficient LEACH protocol is designed with network coding for WSN. Initially, the clusters are formed with the LEACH protocol, where it uses the residual energy metric and drain rate to select the cluster heads.  Since network coding is an optimal technique to enhance the network performance by minimizing the number of transmissions, it is incorporated into the LEACH Protocol, where it has been applied at the cluster head levels. Furthermore, the next level of network coding is processed at a node by selecting any of the nodes as a master node. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme performs better than the EE-LEACH and LEACH protocol in terms of network lifetime, packet delivery ratio.


In recent years, for delivering multimedia information such as images and videos, wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) have emerged as an outstanding technique. Due to the fast Advancements in sensor technology and the availability of low-cost hardware, the development of Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) has emerged. WMSNs are composed of resourceconstrained wireless nodes through which both the scalar data and multimedia data (i.e., audio, still images, and video) can be sensed and acquired from the environment. However, the resource-constrained nature of multimedia sensing devices has made the WMSNs face several challenges. To tackle these challenges, different authors developed different methods. In this paper, we have surveyed all such kinds of methods. Initially, we study the basic architecture of multimedia senor nodes followed by the characteristics and applications of WMSNs. Next, we have conducted a detailed survey over different methods and all those methods are segregated into three categories. Under the segregation, we have considered different aspects and segregated them as Data-Aware methods, QoS Aware methods, and Energy-Aware methods. In the end, we also summarized the existing solutions and outlined several pros and cons. In this paper, recent developments in techniques for designing highly energy-efficient and QoScapable WMSNs are surveyed.
