Clustering the sensor nodes and choosing the way for routing the data are two key elements that would affect the performance of a wireless sensor network (WSN). In this paper, a novel clustering method is proposed and a simple two-hop routing model is adopted for optimizing the network layer of the WSN. New protocol is characterized by simplicity and efficiency (SE). During the clustering stage, no information needs to be shared among the nodes and the position information is not required. Through adjustment of two parameters in SE, the network on any scale (varies from the area and the number of nodes) could obtain decent performance. This work also puts forward a new standard for the evaluation of the network performance—the uniformity of the nodes' death—which is a complement to merely taking the system lifetime into consideration. The combination of these two aspects provides a more comprehensive guideline for designing the clustering or routing protocols in WSN.

Wireless sensor network consists of various sensor nodes connected through wireless media. Sensor nodes are tiny devices having lesser energy capabilities. Sensor nodes are either ad-hoc or mobile in their environment. Wireless sensor network route of transmission media is discovered by routing protocols and responsible for secure communication between sensor nodes. Energy is a precious resource of sensor nodes, and the entire lifetime of WSNs is depending on the energy capability of the sensor nodes. The fundamental problem is how to organize topology of WSN for deployed sensor nodes with lesser power consumption as possible. Major problems in wireless sensor networks which consume extra energy are interference, control message overhead, packet delay, unnecessary transmission, and bandwidth utilization. Therefore, energy efficient techniques are needed to overcome these problems. Hierarchical routing is the best routing method for finding optimal path between sensor nodes which enhance the lifetime of the network. This paper focuses towards various hierarchical energy efficient routing in wireless sensor networks and analyzes various features of WSN that should consider during designing of routing protocols.

In the recent years, an efficient design of a Wireless Sensor Network has become important in the area of research. The major challenges in the design of Wireless Sensor Network is to improve the network lifetime. The main difficulty for sensor node is to survive in that monitoring area for the longer time that means there is a need to increase the lifetime of the sensor nodes by optimizing the energy and distance. There are various existing routing protocols in which optimal routing can be achieved like Data-Centric, Hierarchical and Location-based routing protocols. In this paper, new power efficient routing protocol is being proposed that not only select the shortest path between the source node and sink node for data transmission but also maximizes the lifetime of the participating nodes by selecting the best path for sending the data packet across the network. The main objective of this research is to develop a faster algorithm to find the energy efficient route for Wireless Sensor Network. Simulation results shows that this strategy achieves long network lifetime when compared to the other standard protocols.


In the recent field of research the wireless sensor network plays an important role. Wireless sensor network is an important technology in this era. A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a distributed network contains enormous sensor nodes with wide range of application. It transmits unlimited and enormous data like image, video, audio and data through end to end network. WSNs offer much solution to remote real time monitoring, recognition of physical occurrence and target tracking applications. This network growth is increasingly rapidly day by day and made the research field in difficult resurgence. The extended network lifetime, effective load balancing and scalability are essential for WSNs. The life time of the wireless network can be extended by the concept of clustering .Clustering is process of grouping the smaller localized networks in highly structured way. Diverse cluster technology available based on the network the clustering concept will be used. Efficient routing algorithm provide the way for efficient usage of bandwidth and reduce the delay in the network . This paper provides the survey of clustering and routing protocols to improve the efficiency in wireless technology in recent years

The wide deployment of wireless sensor networks is the primary reason behind the advancement of numerous routing protocols. In this context, sensors need to be remotely conveyed in unattended situations. Further, propels in wireless sensor network innovation have ensured accessibility and minimal effort in terms of sensor hubs with a capacity to sense various physical and natural environment conditions, in addition to wireless communication and data processing. Moreover, wireless sensor networks are rather different from regular and cellular networks, which comprise nodes with restricted bandwidth and energy. However, the most important limitation of wireless sensor networks is their characteristic limited energy resources. Furthermore, there is an imbalance of power consumption in their sensor nodes. Therefore, it is preferable to distribute the amount of energy throughout a wireless sensor network to minimize the maintenance and maximize the overall system performance. To this end, this paper suggests a new strategy in wireless sensor network dissemination and routing protocols referred to as the Fast Simple Flooding Strategy, which focuses on energy efficiency as a crucial design objective for routing protocols used in wireless sensor networks, without the overhead of other design factors, and reduces end-to-end latency. Additionally, this new strategy can be listed under flat approaches; it is simple and very fast in delivering the packet to the sink and does not require additional equipment or complex mathematical operations. It also resolves the major drawbacks of classic flooding and gossiping.


The technological advances in wireless communication systems and digital data processing techniques has given rise to many innovative intelligent networks. One such network is wireless sensor network (WSN). In recent past, huge growth has been perceived in the applications of WSN. In wireless sensor network, the battery powered sensor nodes are scattered in a monitoring area and it is impossible to replace the batteries of sensor nodes after deployment. Therefore, energy efficiency remains a prime concern in design of WSNs. The routing protocols help to find energy efficient routes and increases the lifetime of WSNs. The cluster-based routing techniques play an important role in design of energy efficient WSNs. However, authors analyzed two types of sensor networks in the literature such as homogeneous and heterogeneous networks. In homogeneous clustering, all sensor nodes possess same level of initial energy and cluster head (CH) formation probability of each node in such networks remains equal. In heterogeneous clustering, the nodes are bifurcated into three energy levels such as normal node, advanced node and super node. Therefore, the CH formation probability of a node in such network depends on the type of node. This paper presented a survey on recent energy efficient routing protocols in homogeneous as well as heterogeneous wireless sensor networks. The energy efficient routing protocols are classified based on some quality of service (QoS) metrics such as energy efficiency, network lifetime, network stability, cluster head selection threshold and heterogeneity levels.

An underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN) is a group of spatially distributed sensors for monitoring the physical changes of underwater environment and organize the measured data at a base station. Out of many big challenges in this field, network protocol design is of great concern due to the idiosyncratic nature of underwater environment. As underwater sensor networks are very much distinct in nature from terrestrial network so as the challenges, some of the major issues of concern in underwater environment are long propagation delay, available bandwidth, error rate, restricted battery power, movement of sensor nodes, etc. Because of all these issues and challenges, the routing protocols for terrestrial network can't be implemented in UWSNs. Hence, there is demand for new and different routing protocols for UWSNs. In this chapter, an overall survey of various routing protocols along with pros and cons are explained with challenges for designing new routing protocols for vast and enormous UWSNs.

<p>The Wireless Sensor Network is one of the most significant purposes behind the accomplishment of long range wireless communication. Frequent connectivity failures are occurred in the sensor-organised network due to obstruction, snags, message drop because of node energy depletion; obstacle and so forth. The total communication gets collapsed if there any lessening in the nature of correspondence or quality between the sensor nodes or from the sensor nodes to the sink nodes and this prompts to connection failures. To overcome the frequent connectivity failures we propose Diminishing Connectivity Failures by Auto-Reconfiguration in WSN (DCFA). This scheme provides steadfast routes to reduce the connectivity failure and improve the network performance. </p>

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is employed to gather and forward information to the destination. It is very crucial to know the location of the event or collected information. This location information may be obtained using GPS or localiza-tion technique in wireless sensor networks. Randomly deployed WSN needs a large amount of GPS-enabled sensor nodes for localization, this necessitates progressive approach. However, nodes with sparse connectivity remain unlocalized. In this paper, a progressive mobile anchor based technique is proposed for node localization. Initially, sensor nodes are localized using anchors in the neighborhood, then these localized nodes progressively localized remaining nodes using multilateration. Mobile anchor node moves randomly in field and broadcast position information. Its localized nodes with sparse connectivity. Simulation results show that proposed approach localize all sensor nodes with good accuracy.
