Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a special form of Mobile Ad-hoc Network designed to provide communications among nearby vehicles without communications infrastructure. Some characteristics in VANET environment such as high mobility, dynamic topology and selfishness of nodes can cause degradation of network quality. In this paper, we propose an adaptive incentive/topology control scheme to improve network quality in VANET by stimulating real time data forwarding and reporting changes of network topology. In the proposed scheme, an incentive suggested by the source node is updated in real time simultaneously with data transmission to stimulate real time data forwarding. In addition, when the order of the nodes in the path is changed, nodes which report the changes of network topology will get an additional incentive. By computer simulation, it is shown that the proposed incentive/topology control scheme outperforms the conventional schemes with respect to data delivery time and data delivery ratio.

An ad-hoc network is a group of mobile nodes acting as routers. The of hoc node has a precondition of mobility, allowing path to be easily disconnected when transmitting data, thereby increasing network overhead. However, most of hoc routing protocols set up the path based only on the number of hops without considering other practical factors. Here we consider a path with the least substantial number of transmission (SNT) from source to destination based on reliabilities of links. This includes retransmissions due to unreliable links. In this paper, an efficient ad-hoc link reliability based routing (PU) protocol suitable for mobile ah-hoc network in terms of SNT, is proposed. The network overhead and data transmission delay ore reduced, by considering both ad-hoc link reliability and the number of hops. Our empirical performance evaluation comparing to AODV (8) shows that the enhancement is up to about 31% for SNT depending upon the mobility of nodes.

TCP is needed as a transport protocol to provide reliable end-to-end message delivery for MANETs in order to achieve a smooth integration with the fixed Internet. Particularly, TCP has its variants, namely TCP-Reno and TCP-Vegas. However, there has been no research work on extensive performance comparison of TCP-Reno and TCP-Vegas over AODV and OLSR. This paper is the first trial to perform the research by using ns-2 simulator. Through the extensive simulations, we found that which to select among routing protocols is more important than which to select among TCP variants, because the performance difference between TCP-Reno and TCP-Vegas over uy selected routing protocol is not so much outstanding. Particularly, TCP-Vegas relies on an accurate BaseRTT estimation in order to decide the sending rate of a TCP Sender. However, it cannot be directly applied to MANET because a route change makes the Base an used over a Previous Path obsolete. Therefore, we propose a technique for improving the performance of TCP-Vegas by considering the route change, and show the performance improvement through simulation study.

In a multi-hop wireless sensor network, broadcasting is an elementary operation to support command message sending, route discovery and other application tasks. Broadcasting by flooding may cause serious redundancy, contention, and collision in the network, which is referred to as the broadcast storm problem. Many broadcasting schemes have been proposed to give better performance than simple flooding in wireless sensor network. How to decide whether re-broadcast or not also poses a dilemma between reach ability and efficiency under different host densities. In this paper, we present popular broadcasting schemes, which can reduce re-broadcast packets and improve SRB(Saved ReBroadcast). Simulation results show different levels of improvement over the simple flooding scheme.

Although Mobile IP proposed in IETF is effective. it has inefficiency in case mobile hosts communicate with each others while they are roaming frequently in a specific area. It occurs lots of latency because mobile hosts must be registered and establish an secure path under the internet emvironments and transmitting data on the path. Additionally this inefficiency is more aggravated in case mobile hosts has high mobility. Thus this paper propose a method using Anchor foreign agent by Anchor chain method which combine an pointer forwarding and a cache method plus a border router as a way to complement the above problem which exists in an mobility management in a specific area.

In this paper, the efficient AODV routing algorithm in MANET is proposed. Because transmission channel has a high error rate and loss in MANET, the number of hops can't be regarded as an absolute network metric. After measuring FER periodically at the data link layer using cross-layer design, the scheme that every node forwards the weight of link status in the reserved field of AODV protocol is used. In order to find the efficient route, we design AODV to be able to select an optimal route that has a good channel status by evaluating the sum of weight. The proposed AODV improves throughput, routing overhead and average end-to-end delay in comparison with the generic AODV.

In the context-aware services, localization is an important technical element. Due to the easy to use and low cost, it was widely enabled with RF properties such as RSSI. However, RSSI is known to be not appropriated for indoor localization, because it tends to show big variance in time and is greatly effected with the multipath. This paper proposes a distance estimation process and its constituted methods for indoor localization, by making use of the other WLAN's RF property, CSI(Channel State Information). Firstly we define a comprehensive localization process, and suggest a calibration algorithm of environment factors in the path loss propagation model. Then, by implementing them with a commercial WLAN module, an the proposed process and methods are evaluated in terms of usefulness.

Simulation analysis may be the essential means to either evaluate performance of systems or optimize system parameters for new design. Including many variations for design and implementation, MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork) is one target area of such an analysis. Since every node, however, included in the network has mobility, one MANET could be overlapped or merged with another one which use a different transport protocol. In order to communicate among nodes in this case, the new merged network should configure paths and addresses in advance. Configuring paths and addresses generates much overheads which ultimately cause delay in communicating data. Performance analysis is required to improve the data transport performance by minimizing overheads. This paper proposes a sound address auto-configuration method which is based on an on-demand manner and then presents modeling and performance analysis of the method. NS-2 simulation results verify that the proposed method can not only alleviate overheads, which are inevitably generated for address auto-configuration processes, and but also decentralize them in time.

기존에 건설된 교통시설의 운영효율을 극대화하기 위한 지능형 교통체계의 한 분야인 ATIS는 도로를 이용하는 통행자에게 편리성을 제공하는 동시에 도로를 효율적으로 운영할 수 있는 정보체계이다. ATIS 체계하에서 통행자에게 신뢰성 있는 정보를 제공하기 위해서는 교차로서의 회전에 의한 지체를 정확하게 반영함은 물론이고 실시간으로 변화하는 교통상황을 반영할 수 있는 동적인 최단경로 탐색 알고리즘이 요구된다. 하지만 기존에 발표된 동적인 최단경로 탐색 알고리즘은 회전에 대한 정보를 반영하지 못하며 정적인 최단경로 탐색 알고리즘은 회전에 대한 정보를 반영하지 못하며 정적인 탐색알고리즘 조차 회전에 대한 정보를 정확히 반영하지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 이유에서 알고리즘 내부에서 회전을 반영하기 위해 수정형 덩굴망 알고리즘의 표지기법을 이용하여 동적인 최단경로 탐색알고리즘을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 동적 최단경로 탐색 알고리즘은 정적인 상태의 수정형 덩굴망 알고리즘에 시간에 따라 변화하는 교통상황을 반영하기 위해 시간에 대한 변수를 추가하였다. 이렇게 해서 알고리즘은 시간대별로 변화하는 통행시간을 고려하여 최단 경로를 탐색하게 되며 출발시점을 기준으로 표지를 설정하여 모든 앞선 시간에 대해 경로를 고려하도록 하였다. 매 단계에서 전 노드를 추적하여 회전에 관한 정보를 반영하도록 하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발한 최단경로 탐색 알고리즘은 교차로에서의 회전에 대한 정보와 통행금지 등을 정확히 반영하며 실시간으로 변화하는 통행시간을 반영함으로써 신뢰성 있는 노선 정보를 ATIS를 이용하는 통행자들에게 제공하는데 활용될 수 있는 기법이다.적으로 세부적 차종분류로 접근한다.의 영향들을 고려함으로써 가로망 설계 과정에서 가로망의 상반된 역할인 이동성과 접근성의 비교가 가능한 보다 현실적인 가로망 설계 모형을 구축하고자 한다. 지금까지 소개된 가로망 설계모형들은 용량변화에 대한 설계변수의 형태에 따라 이산적 가로망 설계 모형과 연속적 가로망 설계모형으로 나뉘어지게 된다. 본 논문의 경우, 계산속도의 향상 측면에서는 연속적 가로망 설계 모형을 도입할 수 있지만, 이때 요구되는 도로용량이 이산적인 변수(차선 수)로 결정되어야만 신호제어 변수를 결정할 수 있기 때문에, 이산적 가로망 설계 모형이 사용된다. 하지만, 이산적 설계모형의 경우 조합최적화 문제이므로 정확한 최적해를 구하기 위해서는 상당한 시간이 소요되며, 경우에 따라서는 국부 최적해에 빠지게 된다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해, 우선 이상적 모형의 근사화, 혹은 조합최적화문제를 위해 개발된 Simulated Annealing기법의 적용, 연속적 모형의 변수를 이산화하는 방법 등 다양한 모형들을 고려해 본 뒤, 적절한 모형을 적용할 것이다. 가로망 설계 모형에서 신호제어를 고려하기 위해서는 주어진 가로망에 대한 통행 배정과정에서 고려되는 통행시간을 링크통행시간과 교차로 지체시간을 동시에 고려해야 하는데, 이러한 문제의 해결을 위해서 최근 활발히 논의되고 있는 교차로에서의 신호제어에 대응하는 통행배정 모형을 도입하여 고려하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 지금까지 연구되어온 Global Solution Approach와 Iterative Approach를 비교, 검토한 뒤 모형에 보다 알맞은 방법을 선택한다. 차량의 교차로 통행을 고려하는 perf

Underwater acoustic communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes signal distortion and error floor. In this paper, in order to design an efficient packet structure, we employ channel coding scheme and phase recovery algorithm. For channel coding scheme, half rate LDPC channel coding scheme with N=1944 and K=972 was used. Also, decision directed phase recovery was used for correcting phase offset induced by multipath. Based on these algorithms, we propose length of data for optimal packet structure in the environment of oceanic experimentation.
