LEACH, Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy, is an application-specific protocol architecture for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). It has become one of the bases for developing new architecture protocols or modifying the existing one in WSN. It is an adaptive and self-organizing protocol that minimizes the energy consumption in WSN. The underlying idea behind LEACH is the …

The application and importance of sensor network depends on the type of sensor nodes used, the field & scope of deployment, the computational and QoS requirements. The recent advancements in Micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) and wireless communication technologies make it a pragmatic vision to deploy a large-scale, low power, inexpensive sensor networks (Ning Xu,) Event detection, …

Sensor network differ from the traditional ISO OSI Model of Communication Standards. Sensor nodes are not necessarily IP equipped and the seven layers of OSI model are in harmony with just three protocol stacks, namely, power management plane, mobility management plane and task management plane. This protocol stack performs functions of sensor network and combines …

The design of SN is a challenge because many influencing factors such as fault tolerance, scalability, production cost, operating environment, network topology, hardware constraints, transmission media, power consumption and others have to be considered. The performance of the network is then measured based on quantifiable parameters called performance metrics. This however varies according to need …

SN can form the base of cloud computing, distributed computing, and Next Generation Networks (NGN). For this, sink nodes can be used as a gateway to interconnect other networks, and backbone scenarios for more connected networks. Router equipped with sensing capabilities can work for saving powers and sleep when there is no activity in the …

OFDMA Networks: The subcarriers and powers can be allocated according to user’s requirement. BS dynamically controls the resource allocation in two categories – Rate Adaptation (RA) which maximized thru put and Margin Adaptation (MA) which minimizes the total transmitted power. The frequency diversity is yet to be exploited with the consideration of circuitry consumption for …

I thought I know this subject matter but.. alas! the world is a different scenario now. All areas are of human interest, none of them are left untouched. For an instance, I thought I knew the difference between hardware and software, I thought I knew the logic behind the Ohm’s law formula, I thought I …
