In Wireless Underground Sensor Network (WUSN), the proposed routing protocol not only considers the two issues above but also the different of communication medium and the reliable underground link. Based on those issues, the method and flow of communication of each node must focus strictly. Therefore, this paper presents on the development of routing protocol in WUSN particularly on tunnel environment. Proper routing protocol will consider the capability of sensor node and medium communication to produce safe and secure condition either in multihop or ad-hoc network. The results show the implementation of social insect model in Tunnel Wireless Sensor Network (TWSN) successfully overcomes the signal interference and attenuation that occurred in tunnel environment. It also significance by the secure delivery data developed using an ant agent in finding and sending of data packets for all nodes in this project. The proposed routing protocol is able to provide transmission of data that exceed 90 % although distance between nodes is 7 meters apart in a confine space.","PeriodicalId":325846,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Circuits and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117331523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It outputs an one-bit signature to detect faults in the memory chip, effectively reducing the comparison time required in conventional realization. The regular structure of CA enables low cost implementation of the test hardware for a memory chip, that is inherently regular in structure.
