Item Feasibility Analysis of Clustering Routing Protocols for Multipurpose Sensor Networking(Intelligent Information Technology Application Research Association (IITA Association), 2010-09-29) Salami, Abdulazeez Femi; Bari, S. M. S.; Anwar, Farhat; Khan, SherozRecent advances in wireless sensor technology have led to the evolvement of new protocols specially designed for wireless sensor networks. Current wireless sensor network routing protocols are based on the assumption that all sensor nodes are monitoring a single global event. However, in many scenarios, it is desirable to use a single sensor network to monitor multiple events. This will not only reduce the cost of deploying and administering the sensor nodes but it will also improve the management and efficiency of the entire sensor network. Cluster-based routing protocols for large-scale wireless sensor networks are more suitable for multipurpose sensor networking scenario because clustering minimizes the number of messages that are propagated throughout the network whenever an event is sensed. In this paper, an investigation of selected clustering routing protocols for wireless sensor networks is presented together with a highlight of their key features and their ability to adapt to multipurpose sensor networking.Item Feasibility Analysis of Integrated Hybrid Systems of Wireless Sensor Networks and Conventional Networks(IIUM Press, International Islamic University Malaysia, 2011-11-06) Salami, Abdulazeez Femi; Bello-Salau, Habeeb; Hussaini, Mukhtar; Anwar, FarhatServices are the main driving force of the telecommunication industry. The rapid growth of the Internet led to the proliferation of a wide variety of services that allow application users to exchange information in different ways. In order to increase the benefits derived from the Internet (IP) based services, the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) was developed to support new value-added services in wireless networks. The objective of the IMS is the seamless integration of wireless communication networks and the Internet. One of the most flexible and suitable network that can potentially integrate with the Internet is Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). WSN is essentially a network of collaborating miniaturized devices known as sensor nodes. The features of WSN are unique and different from other conventional networks. This is because WSN is typically a data-oriented network where sensor nodes are deployed and tasked with the responsibility of sensing a desired geographical area in order to gain useful information about the environment and report to the base station for further processing and analysis by the interested applications. Afterwards, these applications store the processed data for demand-based delivery of enhanced services to the end user such as the provisioning of context-based services to mobile phone users. These applications are customarily located in an area remote to the WSN and the governing network where such applications reside is usually an external network (e.g. IMS). Therefore, the challenge is to smoothly integrate WSN with IMS in order for the sensed data to be easily accessible to IMS applications or services. This chapter explores the major techniques that are employed for the seamless integration of WSN and IMS network. This chapter also provides practical design recommendations for implementing a presence-based WSN-IMS architecture. This proffered architecture will provide a general platform to applications and services that needs to access various types of sensed data from the WSN. This chapter also gives a systematic description of the key procedures for the integration of WSN with other conventional networks and most especially, the important evaluation criteria for assessing the state-of-the-art hybrid systems in this field is provided in this chapter.Item Investigative Analysis of Clustering Routing Protocols for Scalable Sensor Networks(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), IEEE Malaysian Section, 2011-07-05) Salami, Abdulazeez Femi; Anwar, Farhat; Aibinu, Abiodun Musa; Abdalla, Aisha HassanNew advancements in the technology of wireless sensors have contributed to the development of special protocols which are unique to sensor networks where minimal energy consumption is vital and very important. As a result, the focus and effort of researchers is on designing better routing algorithms for a given application and network architecture of interest. Flat-based routing protocols have been found to be less advantageous to clustering routing protocols when their performance are compared in a large-scale wireless sensor network scenario. This is due to the fact that clustering operation reduces the amount of redundant messages that are transmitted all over the network when an event is detected. This paper is an investigation of cluster-based routing protocols for wireless sensor networks.Item A Novel Biased Energy Distribution (BED) Scheme for Clustering Sensor Networks(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), IEEE Malaysian Section, 2011-07-05) Salami, Abdulazeez Femi; Anwar, Farhat; Bello-Salau, Habeeb; Aibinu, Abiodun MusaThis paper presents the impact of utilizing a biased energy distribution (BED) scheme among sensor nodes for clustering sensor networks. In clustering sensor networks, some of the nodes are elected as aggregators and they compress the data from their cluster members before sending the aggregated data to the sink. Existing clustering routing protocols assume that all the nodes are provided with equal amount of energy but this shortens the network lifetime and makes the network unstable once the first node dies. This paper proposes a solution by using a technique that prioritizes the network into higher and lower energy nodes. The aim of this approach is to ensure well balanced energy consumption in order to maximize network lifetime. It is shown by simulation that the proposed technique exhibits better performance when compared to existing clustering routing techniques in terms of throughput, network lifetime and energy consumption.Item A Novel Biased Energy Distribution (BED) Technique for Cluster-Based Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks(Massey University, New Zealand, 2011-06-06) Salami, Abdulazeez Femi; Bello-Salau, Habeeb; Anwar, Farhat; Aibinu, Abiodun MusaThis paper presents the impact of utilizing a biased energy distribution (BED) scheme for clustering sensor networks.

Customarily, a WSN is made up of a number of wireless networked low-power sensor nodes, each of which is designed with an in-built microprocessor, radio transceiver and limited storage, computational and energy resources. Nowadays, WSN are deployed in environments where conventional wireless networks operate, therefore heterogeneity is becoming an essential factor in WSN design because key design features like processing power, communication ability, sensing techniques, energy resources and computational capability have to be fine-tuned to adapt to conventional wireless network requirements and scenarios. By implementing a heterogeneous network of WSN and conventional wireless networks, the potential and performance of the sensor nodes will be greatly enhanced and most especially, the WSN will have the significant advantage of having a wider coverage area and adaptability for different types of applications. A lot of unique and interesting challenges arise when WSN is incorporated and enhanced with heterogeneity due to the demand to adapt and perform well with a number of other target applications. As a result of the aforementioned challenges, this chapter is motivated by demands from industrialists and researchers to investigate and bring out the feasible applications and design challenges of developing a reliable and energy-efficient wireless heterogeneous sensor network.
