모바일 애드혹 네트워크는 기존의 셀룰러 네트워크와는 달리 고정된 기지국이 존재하지 않고 모바일 노드들만으로 구성된 네트워크이다. 모바일 애드혹 네트워크의 각각의 노드들은 제한된 자원과 한정된 용량을 가진 배터리로 동작한다. 만일 이 배터리를 모두 소모하게 된다면 중간 노드들이 다운이 되고, 결과적으로 전체 네트워크가 단절되는 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 한정된 자원을 최대한 효율적으로 사용해야 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 클러스터 기반의 애드 혹 네트워크 환경에서 발생하는 경로 요청 시 클러스터 내부의 에너지 분산을 통한 네트워크 생존 시간을 연장시키고자 하였다. 효율적인 에너지 분산을 위해 칼만 필터를 통한 클러스터 내부의 트래픽 변화량을 예측하고, 예측값과 노드의 에너지 잔량을 기준으로 경로를 설정하도록 하였다. 실험 결과 생존 시간을 23% 증가시켰고, 칼만 필터를 통한 트래픽 변화량 예측값의 오차는 6.3%로 나타났다. 앞으로 칼만 필터의 관측값을 확장하여 예측값에 대한 오차를 줄이고, 보다 복잡한 네트워크 환경에 적용하는 연구가 필요하다.

We proposed a 2 level tree based cluster based routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks. it is our crucial goal to establish improved clustering's structure in order to extend average node life-time and elevate the average packet delivery ratio. Because of insufficient wireless resources and energy, the method to form and manage clusters is useful for increasing network stability. but cluster-head fulfills roles as a host and a router in clustering protocol of Ad hoc networks environment. Therefore energy exhaustion of cluster-head causes communication interruption phenomenon. Effective management of cluster-head is key-point which determines the entire network performance. The scheme focuses on improving the performance the life time of the network and throughput through the management of cluster-heads and its neighbor nodes. In simulation, we demonstrated that it would obtain averagely better 17% performance than LS2RP.

Wireless sensor networks is a core technology of ubiquitous computing which enables the network to aware the different kind of context by integrating exiting wired/wireless infranet with various sensor devices and connecting collected environmental data with applications. However it needs an energy-efficient approach in network layer to maintain the dynamic ad hoc network and to maximize the network lifetime by using energy constrained node. Cluster-based data aggregation and routing are energy-efficient solution judging from architecture of sensor networks and characteristics of data. In this paper. we propose a new distributed clustering algorithm in using distance from the sink. This algorithm shows that it can balance energy dissipation among nodes while minimizing the overhead. We verify that our clustering is more en-ergy-efficient and thus prolongs the network lifetime in comparing our proposed clustering to existing probabilistic clustering for sensor network via simulation.

We present a method for increasing network lifetime without link failure due to lack of battery capacity of nodes in wireless ad-hoc networks with low mobility. In general, a node with larger remaining battery capacity represents the one with lesser traffic load. Thus, a modified AODV routing protocol is proposed to determine a possible route by considering a remaining battery capacity of a node. Besides, the total energy consumption of all nodes increase rapidly due to the huge amount of control packets which should be flooded into the network. To reduce such control packets efficiently, a source node can store information about alternative routes to the destination node into its routing table. When a link failure happens, the source node should retrieve the route first with the largest amount of the total remaining battery capacity from its table entries before initiating the route rediscovery process. To do so, the possibility of generating unnecessary AODV control packets should be reduced. The method proposed in this paper increases the network lifetime by 40% at most compared with the legacy AODV and MMBCR.

Cooperative diversity system can be applied to an ad-hoc network for reduction of the power consumption, for expansion of the communication range, and for improving the system performance. In a selection relay cooperative diversity system which selects the maximal SNR(Signal-to-noise ratio) relay for transmitting the source information, the selected strong relay transmits continuously under slow fading channel, consequently it reduces the network lifetime. To overcome this defect, recently the uniform power relay selection has been studied to expand the network life time. We apply the uniform power relay selection to a DOT(Double opportunistic transmit) cooperative system that select the transmit relays, of which the SNR of the transmit relays exceed both of the source-relay and the relay-destination threshold. And the performance of the system is analytically derived. The performance comparisons are made among SC(Selection combining), MRC(Maximal ratio combining), and uniform power relay selection of the cooperative diversity system. We noticed that the performance of the uniform power relay selection is inferior to that of others. It is interpreted that the uniform transmit opportunity to the selected relays for extension of the network lifetime degrades the performance.

Data compression involves a trade-off between delay time and data size. Greater delay times require smaller data sizes and vice versa. There have been many studies performed in the field of wireless sensor networks on increasing network life cycle durations by reducing data size to minimize energy consumption; however, reductions in data size result in increases of delay time due to the added processing time required for data compression. Meanwhile, as energy generation occurs periodically in solar energy-based wireless sensor networks, redundant energy is often generated in amounts sufficient to run a node. In this study, this excess energy is used to reduce the delay time between nodes in a sensor network consisting of solar energy-based nodes. The energy threshold value is determined by a formula based on the residual energy and charging speed. Nodes with residual energy below the threshold transfer data compressed to reduce energy consumption, and nodes with residual energy above the threshold transfer data without compression to reduce the delay time between nodes. Simulation based performance verifications show that the technique proposed in this study exhibits optimal performance in terms of both energy and delay time compared with traditional methods.

센서 네트워크에서는 응용에 따라 데이터 전송 방식을 몇 가지로 나눌 수 있다. 일반적으로 쿼리 기반의 데이터 전송방식에서는 싱크가 쿼리를 네트워크 전체에 플러딩하고 그 쿼리를 수신한 노드가 그 쿼리에 해당하면 감지한 데이터를 싱크까지 보고하는 방식을 취하고 있다. 하지만 특정 지역의 정보를 요구하는 쿼리일 경우에는 그 쿼리가 네트워크 전체에 플러딩된다면 불필요한 에너지 소모가 많이 발생하게 된다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 우리는 쿼리를 네트워크 전체에 플러딩하지 않고 특정지역으로만 쿼리를 전달하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 실험을 통해서 쿼리를 플러딩하는 방법과 특정지역으로만 전달하는 방법을 비교하여 남아 있는 노드수와 평균 소비되는 에너지를 측정하여 제안한 방법이 센서 네트워크에서 중요시되는 생존시간 측면에서 더 우수함을 보였다.

쿼리에 응답하는 데이터 전달방식에서는 일반적으로 쿼리가 네트워크 전체에 뿌려진다. 하지만 쿼리가 특정지역의 정보만을 요구하는 경우 그 쿼리는 네트워크 전체에 뿌려질 필요가 없다. 본 논문에서 우리는 제한된 쿼리 전달 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 네트워크를 섹터와 레벨단위의 논리적 영역을 만들고 쿼리가 필요로 하는 정보가 속한 최소한의 영역으로만 쿼리를 전달함으로써 불필요한 쿼리 전달을 줄이고자 하는 것이다. 성능평가에서는 제안된 기법을 사용함으로써 센서 노드들의 평균 소비되는 에너지를 줄이고 네트워크의 생존시간을 늘리는 결과를 보였다.

In Mobile Ad-hoc Network(MANET), mobile nodes are operated by limited batteries. Therefore, it is very important to consume the battery power efficiently to prevent termination of the network. In this paper, we propose Energy-aware Dynamic Source Routing(EDSR) which is based on the Dynamic Source Routing(DSR) to increase the packet transmission and lifetime of the network. If the battery power of a node reaches threshold level, then the node gives up the function of relaying to save battery power except as a source and a destination node. While the conventional DSR doesn't consider the battery consumptions of the nodes, EDSR blocks the nodes from relaying whose battery powers are below the threshold level. Simulation results show the proposed EDSR is more efficient in packet transmission and network lifetime through the balanced battery consumption of the mobile nodes.

In the case of On-demand routing protocol in cognitive radio ad-hoc networks, broadcasting of control packets may occur common control channel overload and packet collisions during the routing procedure. This situation is to increase the overhead of path finding and also limited to find the accurate and reliable path. Since reliable channel and path finding is restricted, path life time is shorten and path reliability is reduced. In this paper, we propose a new routing algorithm that reduces control channel overhead and increases path life time by considering the probability of appearance of primary user and channel status of neighbor nodes. Each node performs periodic local sensing to detect primary user signal and to derive primary user activity patterns. The probability of primary appearance on the current channel and the channel status can be obtained based on the periodic sensing. In addition, each node identifies the quality of the channel by message exchange through a common channel with neighbor nodes, then determines Link_Levels with neighbor nodes. In the proposed method, the Link Level condition reduces the number of control messages that are generated during the route discovery process. The proposed method can improve path life time by choosing a path through Path_Reliability in which stability and quality are weighted depending on the location. Through simulation, we show that our proposed algorithm reduces packet collisions and increases path life time in comparison with the traditional algorithm.
