<span>A wireless sensor network is a collection of wireless nodes with sensor devices that can collect data from the real world. This is because sensor nodes usually use limited-powered batteries. Therefore, if the battery on the sensor node is exhausted, the node will no longer be available. If the battery on some nodes is discharged, the sensor network will not work properly. To maintain sensor network system, there are many wireless sensor network protocols to increase energy efficiency of nodes. One of the energy-efficient methods is cluster-based protocols. These protocols divide the sensor fields into clusters and send and receive data between nodes. Thus, depending on how the cluster is constructed, the network's lifetime may be reduced or increased. Cluster-based protocols cannot always be optimal cluster configurations. These problems have been improved using fuzzy logic. In general, fuzzy logic is used to elect cluster heads based on node residual energy, node concentration and node centrality. However, it is possible that nodes close to each other at a high density area are elected as cluster heads. In this paper, we propose a method to consider the number of adjacent cluster heads instead of Node Concentration to improve the problem.</span>

The uttermost requirement of the wireless sensor network is prolonged lifetime. Unequal energy degeneration in clustered sensor nodes lead to the premature death of sensor nodes resulting in a lessened lifetime. Most of the proposed protocols primarily choose cluster head on the basis of a random number, which is somewhat discriminating as some nodes which are eligible candidates for cluster head role may be skipped because of this randomness. To rule out this issue, we propose a deterministic novel energy efficient fuzzy logic based clustering protocol (NEEF) which considers primary and secondary factors in fuzzy logic system while selecting cluster heads. After selection of cluster heads, non-cluster head nodes use fuzzy logic for prudent selection of their cluster head for cluster formation. NEEF is simulated and compared with two recent state of the art protocols, namely SCHFTL and DFCR under two scenarios. Simulation results unveil better performance by balancing the load and improvement in terms of stability period, packets forwarded to the base station, improved average energy and extended lifetime.

Extending the lifetime of a wireless sensor network is vital in ensuring continuous monitoring functions in a target environment. Many techniques have appeared that seek to achieve such prolonged sensing gains. Clustering and improved selection of cluster heads play essential roles in the performance of sensor network functions. Cluster head in a hierarchical arrangement is responsible for transmitting aggregated data from member nodes to a base station for further user-specific data processing and analysis. Minimising the quick dissipation of cluster heads energy requires a careful choice of network factors when selecting a cluster head to prolong the lifetime of a wireless sensor network. In this work, we propose a multi-criteria cluster head selection technique to extend the sensing lifetime of a heterogeneous wireless sensor network. The proposed protocol incorporates residual energy, distance, and node density in selecting a cluster head. Each factor is assigned a weight using the Rank Order Centroid based on its relative importance. Several simulation tests using MATLAB 7.5.0 (R2007b) reveal improved network lifetime and other network performance indicators, including stability and throughput, compared with popular protocols such as LEACH and the SEP. The proposed scheme will be beneficial in applications requiring reliable and stable data sensing and transmission functions.

<p>Wireless sensor network consists of hundred or thousand sensor nodes that are connected together and work simultaneously to perform some special tasks. The restricted energy of sensor nodes is the main challenge in wireless sensor network as node energy depletion causes node death. Therefore, some techniques should be exerted to reduce energy consumption in these networks. One of the techniques to reduce energy consumptions most effectively is the use of clustering in wireless sensor networks.</p><p>There are various methods for clustering process, among which LEACH is the most common and popular one. In this method, clusters are formed in a probabilistic manner. Among clustering strategies, applying evolutional algorithm and fuzzy logic simultaneously are rarely taken into account. The main attention of previous works was energy consumption and less attention was paid to delay.</p><p>In the present proposed method, clusters are constructed by an evolutional algorithm and a fuzzy system such that in addition to a reduction of energy consumption, considerable reduction of delay is also obtained. The simulation results clearly reveal the superiority of the proposed method over other reported approaches.</p>

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.

Clustering, as one of the energy-efficient approaches, is widely used in wireless sensor networks. This method is based on creating clusters and selecting cluster head nodes in a wireless sensor network. Clustering saves network energy because data transfer is restricted between multiple nodes. Thus, clustering is provided between several nodes, and the service life of the wireless sensor network can be extended. Since the parent cluster node interacts with other nodes of the network, a node with a high level of residual energy must be selected to perform this role. When the energy level of the selected cluster head node becomes lower than the threshold value, then the re-election of this node takes place. It should be noted that multiple patterns of choosing cluster head nodes built using various parameters (residual node energy, distance from the base station to a node, distance between the head node and a cluster member, the number and proximity of neighboring nodes, etc.) lacked for a factor of energy consumption, i.e. how many times nodes communicated to each other. To cope with the problem, this paper presents a prognostic algorithm for selecting a cluster head node using fuzzy logic. This algorithm suggests using a number of input parameters, such as the residual energy of the node, the proximity of neighboring nodes, and the centralization of the node in the cluster. The proposed algorithm has been implemented using the software package MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Toolbox. The simulation results prove the advantages of the proposed technique; application of the input parameters mentioned above helps select optimal cluster head nodes in a wireless sensor network, which increases power efficiency of a wireless sensor network.

This article focused on the energy limit property of Wireless Sensor Network, and proposed a residual energy based algorithm WN-LEACH, with the classic network mode of LEACH routing algorithm. The algorithm combines the proportion of residual energy in the total energy with the cumulative number of the normal nodes supported by the cluster heads as a cluster selection reference. In order to balance the energy consumption of each cluster-head, the algorithm took both the different positions of the base station and the initial energy of the network into consideration, and weighted the two factors to balance the energy consumption between transmitting the signals and data fusion. Simulation results show that the algorithm can promote the lifetime of the uneven energy network and does not impair the effects of the LEACH algorithm.

In recent years, wireless sensor network technology has developed rapidly and its role in managing systems for sports events has been widely used. Wireless sensor networks not only have low wiring cost, high monitoring accuracy, and good fault tolerance but also can be monitored remotely and have outstanding advantages in fault diagnosis and safety monitoring. In this paper, firstly, the wireless sensor network hierarchical routing protocol is studied and its network model and workflow are analyzed; according to the energy consumption of the wireless sensor network, the selection method of the optimal number of cluster heads is proposed to analyze the advantages and disadvantages existing in the protocol. Secondly, the improvement of the routing protocol is proposed to address the problems of uneven distribution of cluster heads and cluster head election without considering the residual energy of nodes in the protocol. When dividing clusters, the number of neighboring nodes is considered so that cluster heads are distributed more evenly in the network; when electing cluster heads, the residual energy of nodes in the cluster is considered to balance the whole network load, and when electing cluster heads, the residual energy of nodes in the cluster is considered to balance the whole network load. Finally, simulation experiments are conducted in this paper using simulation software, and the simulation results show that the data fusion algorithm is more effective than the protocol in reducing the average energy consumption of nodes and extending the network lifetime; these features make wireless sensors more beneficial for better management of sporting events as well as better optimization.


Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a huge collection of sensor nodes deployed without any predetermined infrastructure. They are powered by batteries and energy consumption is one of the major issues in WSN. Hence to prolong the lifetime of the networks, it is important to design the energy efficient optimized routing algorithm. In this paper, two hop forwarding scheme in AODV and Fuzzy Logic is proposed to find an optimal routing protocol and intermediate node acknowledgement is deducted by the use of Fuzzy rules. The parameters such as remaining energy, data packet transmission, packet received acknowledgement and number of rounds is given as input to the fuzzy system which gives an optimized routing decision. The efficacy of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using NS2 and compared with Fuzzy-based Energy-Aware Routing Mechanism (FEARM). The simulation results shows that the Fuzzy based AODV routing algorithm reduces the energy consumption, minimizes the routing response packets and improves the network life time compared to other similar routing protocols.

<p>A Wireless Sensor Network is a wirelessly configured Sensor Node with limited power such as a battery. There are many Wireless Sensor Network Protocols to increase energy efficiency, among which LEACH Protocol and SEP are typical. The LEACH Protocol is mainly used for homogeneous sensor networks with the same initial energy, and SEP is used for heterogeneous sensor networks with different initial energies. In the case of SEP-E, another heterogeneous sensor with different initial energy is added. SEP and SEP-E provide a higher probability of Cluster Head election for node types with more energy than Normal Nodes. Since the current residual energy of the node is not confirmed, even if the energy is low, the Cluster Head may be elected because of the node type. In this paper, considering the residual energy of a node when a Cluster Head is elected, we increase the probability of electing a Cluster Head with more residual energy. Cluster Head consumes a lot of energy. A node with a lot of residual energy is elected as a Cluster Head, so the network lifetime can be used for a long time.</p>
