“…If there is any localization error for estimating the position of a node, the error is propagated to localize remaining nodes that results a large average localization error. Thus, we introduce a new localization method referred to as the Range-free Energy efficient, Localization technique using Mobile Anchor (RELMA) [49].…”

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have significant potential in many application domains, and are poised for growth in many markets ranging from agriculture and animal welfare to home and office automation. Although sensor network deployments have only begun to appear, the industry still awaits the maturing of this technology to realize its full benefits. The main constraints to large scale commercial adoption of sensor networks are the lack of available network management and control tools for determining the degree of data aggregation prior to transforming it into useful information, localizing the sensors accurately so that timely emergency actions can be taken at exact location, and scheduling data packets so that data are sent based on their priority and fairness. Moreover, due to the limited communication range of sensors, a large geographical area cannot be covered, which limits sensors application domain. Thus, we investigate a scalable and flexible WSN architecture that relies on multi-modal nodes equipped with IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.11 in order to use a Wi-Fi overlay as a seamless gateway to the Internet through WiMAX networks. We focus on network management approaches such as sensors localization, data scheduling, routing, and data aggregation for the WSN plane of this large scale multimodal network architecture and find that most existing approaches are not scalable, energy efficient, and fault tolerant. Thus, we introduce an efficient approach for each of localization, data scheduling, routing, and data aggregation; and compare the performance of proposed approaches with existing ones in terms of network energy consumptions, localization error, end-to-end data transmission delay and packet delivery ratio. Simulation results, theoretical and statistical analysis show that each of these approaches outperforms the existing approaches. To the best of our knowledge, no integrated network management solution comprising efficient localization, data scheduling, routing, and data aggregation approaches exists in the literature for a large scale WSN. Hence, we efficiently integrate all network management components so that it can be used as a single network management solution for a large scale WSN, perform experimentations to evaluate the performance of the proposed framework, and validate the results through statistical analysis. Experimental results show that our proposed framework outperforms existing approaches in terms of localization energy consumptions, localization accuracy, network energy consumptions and end-to-end data transmission delay.

“…Karim et al [29] proposed a range-free energy efficient localization technique using mobile anchor (RELMA) especially for large scale WSNs to improve both accuracy and energy efficiency by minimizing the number of anchor nodes used. The RELMA Method 1 as well as RELMA Method 2 has used the sensing range for each pair of nodes to communicate instead of the communication range to reduce the power consumptions of the nodes.…”

“…So in this paper we have introduced a cluster based routing protocols in which the clustering is done at the base station and cluster head is also assigned by the base station during initial round and after every clustering phase, and in rest of the rounds cluster head is elected by the previous cluster head in the cluster. Nodes can get their location through mobile anchor nodes as in [10]. There are mobile nodes which join these cluster heads to transmit their data, so the main focus of this paper is t o introduce a routing protocol which is energy efficient and dynamic in terms of handling nodes mobility to route the data from these mobile nodes, and to achieve less number of packet loss and which can achieve fault tolerance as compared to existing protocol.…”

As the wireless sensor network has made its steps in mobility based applications like health monitoring, wildlife monitoring, search and rescue, it is desirable to have a reliable routing protocol to deal with the routing issues of mobile sensor nodes and battery is also the main constraint for sensor nodes so routing protocol should be energy efficient. Existing approaches for routing in Cluster Based Mobile Wireless S ensor Network (MWS N) considered nodes equipped with GPS for getting its location and delay in joining the mobile node that get out of the cluster in joining new cluster is high. Also the routing between cluster heads is not discussed in existing approaches. S o in this study, the fault tolerant routing protocol has been proposed that achieve fault tolerance of cluster heads while routing and mobility management of mobile sensor nodes to reduce packet loss during data transmission in MWS N.
