Wireless Sensor Networks has gained more importance in recent years due to its wide range of applications. Some of them are environmental and health monitoring, tracking of animals and monitoring, tracking and control of military, in ships for weapon sensor, mobile networks, radiation and nuclear-threat detection structure, communications and targeting systems. Sensors are low cost devices with limited storage and consume less power to provide solution to real-world problems. The structure of sensor networks is application -dependent. Efficient routing, network lifetime, power consumption forms the major issues in WSN and security forms the major issue in case of large network due to its power considerations. Clustering is the major factor which defines management of the network, distribution of address, topology update, quality of service and power consumption. Here, some of the clustering protocols are described Base Station Controlled Dynamic Clustering (BCDC), Data Routing for In-Network Aggregation (DRINA), Hybrid Energy Efficient Distributed Clustering(HEED), Optimized Energy Efficient Routing Protocol(OEERP) and the optimization of the clustering in Enhanced-Optimized Energy Efficient Routing Protocol (E-OEERP) based on particle swarm optimization (PSO). © International Science Press.

A study on particle swarm optimization in clustering wireless sensor networks

In wireless sensor networks clustering is one of the techniques used for energy efficiency. LEACH (Low-energy adaptive clustering hierarchy) is a widely used clustering based routing protocol used for energy efficiency by rotating cluster heads in rounds. But in this protocol, wireless sensor networks are vulnerable to security attacks. To establish security, Secure-LEACH protocol uses shared keys between base station and sensor nodes. These keys are used to generate message authentication code, through which the base station verifies authenticity of the nodes. Secure-LEACH prevents intruders from participating in the network as cluster heads. It also enables the base station to discard any detected bogus messages. Secure-LEACH protects the network from outsider attackers. © Research India Publications.

Performance analysis of secure leach based clustering protocol in wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor networks consist of mobile nodes which collect and provide data about specific applications in the area of deployment. However, their mobility and the constantly changing topology cause packet loss during communication. Mobility-Based Algorithm (MBA) for wireless sensor networks with mobile nodes facilitates the successful delivery of packets while targeting low energy consumption and less control overhead messages. The MBA clustering have achieved less overhead messages and less energy utilization and maximum packet delivery even at the rate of high mobility environment. MBA clustering showed improved performance over Mobility Based Clustering (MBC) Protocol, Custer Based Routing (CBR) protocol and the low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy-mobile protocol (LEACH). Simulations are done with ns-2 with all the above said algorithms and protocols; MBA clustering outperforms other protocols in terms of energy consumption, convergence time, and average control overhead. © Research India Publications.
