Abstract The recent researches in nuclear applications such as nuclear reactor control and fire detection, intrusion system is a common application in our Radioisotope Production Facility (RPF) at Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority (EAEA) project. Studying the usage of wireless sensor network in tracking, monitoring and controlling and how we utilize and maximize its benefits in our installation in EAEA. As, the design and implementation of wireless sensor networks has become a hot area of research due to the great use of sensor networks to enable applications that connect the physical world to the virtual world . Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) with a large number of sensor nodes can be used as an effective tool for gathering data in various situations. One of the major issues in WSN is developing an energy efficient fusion algorithm which has a significant impact on the overall lifetime of the sensor network. Deployment strategy is first considered in this thesis by comparing different types of routing protocols. Three hundred and fifty sensors have been deployed in network in EAEA ,RPF in Inshas is used to sense temperature and pressure in ventilation system. Two mobility models are studied Random Way Point (RWP) and Reference Point Group Mobility (RPGM). Six performance metrics; number of selected sensors, which reflects energy consumption, packet delivery ratio, average delay, throughput, overhead and network lifetime. Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) Protocols is studied, which is integrated with an adaptive clustering protocol. The studied routing mechanisms after enhancement divide the nodes into clusters. The performance improvement when using routing protocol after enhancement algorithm which considers the distance and the remaining energy for the cluster head. The proposed enhancement of LEACH by obtaining the distance, the remaining energy information can be obtained from the advertise message. Network Simulator (NS2 simulator) will be used to obtain the experimental results of each LEACH before and after enhancement. The comparative study explained the proposed enhancement of LEACH has better average energy, network lifetime, delay, throughput and overhead. The proposed mechanisms introduce significant solutions to some limitations of the original LEACH that not achieve the internal and external balance of network to increase the efficiency of the energy balance by take in consideration the remaining energy and distance between nodes and the sink. Such mechanisms propose a new energy balance level to prolong the overall network lifetime. |
