Wireless sensor networks have been widely considered as one of the most important 21th century technologies and are used in so many applications such as environmental monitoring, security and surveillance. Wireless sensor networks are used when it is not possible or convenient to supply signaling or power supply wires to a wireless sensor node. The wireless sensor node must be battery powered.C...

Wireless Sensor Networks are the new generation of networks that typically are formed great numbers of nodes and the communications of these nodes are done as Wireless. The main goal of these networks is collecting data from neighboring environment of network sensors. Since the sensor nodes are battery operated and there is no possibility of charging or replacing the batteries, the lifetime of ...

Positioning service is one of Wireless Sensor Networks’ (WSNs) fundamental services. The accurate position of the sensor nodes plays a vital role in many applications of WSNs. In this paper, a 3D positioning algorithm is being proposed, using mobile anchor node to assist sensor nodes in order to estimate their positions in a 3D geospatial environment. However, mobile anchor node’s 3D path optim...

mobile sensor networks rely heavily on inter-sensor connectivity for collection of data. nodes in these networks monitor different regions of an area of interest and collectively present a global overview of some monitored activities or phenomena. a failure of a sensor leads to loss of connectivity and may cause partitioning of the network into disjoint segments. a number of approaches have bee...

an efficient cluster head selection algorithm in wireless sensor networks is proposed in this paper. the implementation of the proposed algorithm can improve energy which allows the structured representation of a network topology. according to the residual energy, number of the neighbors, and the centrality of each node, the algorithm uses fuzzy inference systems to select cluster head. the alg...

Advances in medical sciences with other fields of science and technology is closely casual profound mutations in different branches of science and methods for providing medical services affect the lives of its descriptor. Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) represents such a leap. Those networks excite new branches in the world of telemedicine. Small wireless sensors, to be quite precise and calc...

One of the main challenges in wireless sensor network is energy problem and life cycle of nodes in networks. Several methods can be used for increasing life cycle of nodes. One of these methods is load balancing in nodes while transmitting data from source to destination. Directed diffusion algorithm is one of declared methods in wireless sensor networks which is data-oriented algorithm. Direct...

Routing is an important challenge in WSN due to the presence of hundreds or thousands of sensor nodes. Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) is a hierarchical routing and data dissemination protocol. LEACH divides a network domain into several sub-domains that are called clusters. Non-uniformity of cluster distribution and CHs selection without considering the positions of other sens...
