A Resource Reuse Method in Cluster Sensor Networks in Ad Hoc Networks

Energy Efficient Load Balanced Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

“…The proposal is based on centralized control unit, which is not suitable for the WSNs, where there is no central node. A cluster [3][4] based and threshold sensitive routing protocol is presented in reference [5], where the authors consider power availability, nodes position, and reachability factors to determine the routing path by using cluster head. Though this proposal achieved energy efficiency but the proposal didn't concentrate on networking life time.…”

A Channel Reuse Procedure in Clustering Sensor Networks

“…The channel reuse algorithm uses a cluster topology matrix and a resource allocation matrix. [10][11] The topology matrix presents the topology of clusters in a sensor network and the resource allocation matrix presents the channel identifier based on a channel reuse factor. (1)…”

“…In this paper, we propose a channel reuse procedure which assigns dynamically channels which do not overlap among adjacent clusters in cluster sensor networks. Also, as an extension of our previous work [10] using hexagonal cluster model, it introduces an applicability of the algorithm in a rectangular model, a pentagon model, the topology of various forms that may occur in a real-world environment .…”

Intra-Cluster Routing with Backup Path in Sensor Networks

“…Most of the cluster based sensor network research handles the issue of inter-cluster routing and very few of them consider network throughput and network delay of their proposal. Currently, huge network traffic is generated by the sensors and devices of internet of things (IoT) [7] [20], smart home and smart grid networks [10][11][12][13]. The throughput and delay must be considered for efficient management and control of this type of sensor enabled network.…”
