This paper describes an IEEE 802.15.4-based hierarchical sensor network model for a VAWS(Vehicle Approach Warning System) which provides the drivers of vehicles approaching a sharp turn with the information about vehicles approaching the same turn from the opposite end. In the proposed network model, a tree-structured topology, that can prolong the lifetime of network is formed in a self-organizing manner by a topology control protocol. A simple but efficient routing protocol, that creates and maintains routing tables based on the network topology organized by the topology control protocol, transports data packets generated from the sensor nodes to the base station which then forwards it to a display processor. These protocols are designed as a network layer extension to the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC. In the simulation, which models a scenario with a sharp turn, it is shown that the proposed network model achieves a high-level performance in terms of both energy efficiency and throughput simultaneously.

Sensor networks consist of sensor nodes with small size, low cost, lowpower consumption, and multi-functions to sense, to process and to communicate. The main issue in sensor networks has been focused on minimizing power consumption of sensors to maximize network life time. In some critical applications, however, the most important issue is to transmitsensing information to the end user (the sink node) with reliability. Reliable information forwarding using multiple paths in sensor networks (ReinForM) has been proposed to achieve desired reliability in the error-prone channel, but it needs increasing transmission riverhead as the channel error rate becomes high and the number of hops between the source node and the sink node increases. In this paper, we propose a reliable transmission rnechanissmusing intermediate source nodes in sensor networks (ReTrust) to reduce packet overhead while keeping the desired reliability. ReTrust has beenshown to provide desired reliability and reduced overhead via simulationsand analysis.

This paper proposes two types of sub-network based on dynamic restoration schemes to improve survivability of GMPLS networks and analyzes characteristics of these two schemes. The first proposed scheme divides with a whole GMPLS network into several sub-networks, applies a mixture of both restoration and protection methods according to fault location. The other scheme divides a whole GMPLS network into primary and secondary sub-networks, applies a restoration method in each sub-network according to fault location. In our simulation, we evaluate the performances of network resource utilization, restoration success rate, and mean restoration time and conduct its comparative analysis with conventional schemes. The simulation results show that the efficiency of network resource utilization in the proposed schemes is increased as compared with conventional restoration schemes (l＋l, 1:1, 1:N) in case of single-failed link. By contrast, we found that the performances of restoration success rate and mean restoration time in case of multi-failed link is lower than conventional restoration schemes. However, the probability that multi-failed link is occurred is very low so that the problem in practical GMPLS network is negligible.

Recently, Study for routing protocol is gone vigorously in the Ubiquitous Sensor Network. A hierarchical routing protocol is being practical and received interest among them. Therefore we analyze a weak point of HEED. And I suggest the new protocol that solved a weak point of HEED. The new protocol that we propose puts weight in the energy remainder amount than HEED and elect CH. And elected CH is designed to change by new node when quantity of energy leftover becomes less than 50%. Therefore all nodes come to use energy fairly. The protocol that we proposed can prove the cluster survival rate about 30%. And CH is more effective because when elect CH replace, response time selects small node.

For the efficient operation of sensor networks, it is very important to design sensor networks for sensors to utilize their energies in very effective ways. Cluster-based routing schemes such as LEACH can achieve their energy efficiencies by delivering data between cluster heads and sensor nodes. In those cluster-based schemes, cluster reconfiguration algorithm is one of the most critical issues to achieve longer operation lifetime of sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a new energy efficient cluster reconfiguration algorithm. Proposed method does not require any location or energy information of sensors, and can configure clusters with fair cluster regions such that all the sensors in a sensor network can utilize their energies equally. The performances of the proposed scheme have been compared with LEACH and LEACH-C.

다중 표적을 감시하는 무선 센서 네트워크에서 다중 표적이 서로 교차하게 될 때 각각의 표적을 분리하는 문제는 표적의 추적, 탐지, 식별 등의 분야에서 매우 중요하다. 기존의 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 에너지 기반의 기법을 사용하기 때문에 다중 표적의 위치를 추정할 수 없거나, 기지국에서의 원 신호 분석 방법을 통해 표적의 종류를 식별하여 각각의 표적을 분리한다. 후자의 방법은 무선 센서 노드의 통신량과 연산량을 증가시켜 센서 노드의 생존 시간이 짧아지는 단점이 있고, 표적 분리까지 걸리는 시간으로 인해 실시간 처리가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 노드에서 웨이블릿 변환을 이용한 특징을 추출하고 이를 이용해 다중 표적이 센서 영역 내에서 교차하게 될 때 표적을 분리하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 웨이블릿 상수의 주파수 정보를 이용하여 적은 연산으로 표적을 분리한다.

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. 기존의 전송 전력을 고려하여 경로를 설정하는 기법인 CLUSTERPOW는 노드 간에 연결되는 전송 전력을 최소화함으로써 데이터 전송 시 소비되는 전력을 줄이고자 하였다. 그러나 이 기법은 proactive 방식의 라우팅 프로토콜에는 적합하나 reactive 방식의 라우팅 프로토콜에는 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 reactive 방식의 특성에 맞는 전송 전력 설정 기법인 FSRS(Fast Search Reverse Setting) 기법을 제안하였다. FSRS 기법은 reactive 방식에서 사용하는 컨트롤 패킷 플라딩을 사용한 경로 설정에서의 오버헤드를 줄이고자 클러스터 간 플라딩을 통해 목적지 노드를 빠르게 찾고 한정된 클러스터 간 경로를 통해 전송 전력을 고려한 세부적인 경로를 설정한다. FSRS 기법은 기존의 CLUSTERPOW 기법과 마찬가지로 효율적인 전송 전력으로 경로를 설정하였으며 또한 네트워크 생존 시간을 CLUSTERPOW보다 평균 43% 연장시켰다.

Recently, the study on wireless body area network for providing ubiquitous healthcare services has been actively done, including the standardization of the IEEE and others. Wireless body area network is usually configured in tree format using multi-hop communication mode due to the power limitation and the characteristics of human body. In this case, differently from existing sensor network, the wireless body area network tends to be disconnected due to the frequent movement of human body. The number of connections which can be supported at each node has some limitations due to the constraint imposed on power consumption. In this paper, we have proposed a heuristic algorithm for optimal selection of parent node with guaranteed QoS for a disconnected node, which considers the priority on packet transmission. Simulation has been performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

The standard routing protocol of MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork), AODV(Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector), only considers the shortest path for routing, which may cause traffic concentration to a node at the critical path. Hence, the battery of the node will be dissipated rapidly to reduce the lifetime of the whole network. In this paper, power dissipation considered AODV is proposed for fair energy distribution in MANET, and verified using the computer simulation.
