Since XML allows users to define any tags, XML documents with various structures have been created. Accordingly, many studies on clustering and searching the XML documents based on the similarity of paths have been done in order to manage the documents efficiently. To retrieve XML documents having similar structures, the three-dimensional bitmap indexing technique uses a path as a unit when it creates an index. If a path structure is changed, the technique recognizes it as a new path. Thus, another technique to measure the similarity of paths was proposed. To compute the similarity between two paths, the technique compares every node of the paths. It causes unnecessary comparison of the nodes, which do not exist in common between the two paths. In this paper, we propose a new technique that minimizes the comparison using signatures and show the performance evaluation results of the technique. The comparison speed of proposed technique was 20 percent faster than the existing technique.

In multihop cellular network environments, the mobility of nodes is a major obstacle to find a reliable routing path between a mobile node (MN) and the access node (AN). Therefore, in this paper, we propose a fast and reliable neighbor discovery protocol that enables the fast and reliable neighbor discovery by considering the node mobility in the multihop cellular network. The proposed neighbor discovery protocol inhibits the transmission of unnecessary control messages to quickly find a suitable neighbor node (NN) and performs a priority-based access control to transmit control messages without collision in the order of NN desirable to be selected. Simulation results show that the proposed neighbor discovery protocol can discover the NNs faster than the conventional scheme and select a more reliable relay node although the number of neighbor nodes increases and the node mobility increases.

As broadcasting is the process that a node sends a packet to all nodes in the network. it is basic process used for discovering of a routes to a node and disseminating of control information message in Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET). In this paper, we propose dynamically adjusted probabilistic mechanism based on distance ratio and node density for broadcasting in MANETs. The distance ratio can be calculated as the ratio of the radio strength length to the distance from sender of a node, and node density can be get from 1-hop nodes of neighbours. A mobile node receiving broadcast packets determines the probability of rebroadcasting considering distance ratio and node density of itself. Rebroadcast probability will be set as low value to a node which is located in nearby area of sender and has high 1-hop node density, So it reduces packets transmission caused by the early die-out of rebroadcast packets. Compared with the simple flooding and fixed probabilistic flooding by simulation, our approach shows better performances results. Proposed algorithm can reduce the rebroadcast packet delivery more than 30% without scanting reachability, where as it shows up to 96% reachability compared with flooding.

Cluster based wireless sensor networks have a characteristic that the cluster heads collect and aggregate data from sensor nodes and send data to sink node. In addition, between the adjacent sensor nodes deployed in the same area is characterized to the similar sensing data. In this paper, we propose a transmission algorithm for improving the energy efficiency using these two features in the cluster-based wireless sensor networks. Adjacent neighboring nodes form a pair and the two nodes sense data on shifts for one round. Additionally, two cluster heads are selected in a cluster and one of them alternately collects data from nodes and transmits data to the sink. This paper describes a transmission rounding method and a transmission frame for increasing energy efficiency and compared with conventional methods. We perform computer simulations to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, and show better performance in terms of energy efficiency as compared with the LEACH algorithm.

In this paper, we consider the amplify-and-forward relaying systems with the relay selection (AF-RS) using full channel information (FCI) and using partial channel information (PCI), respectively, in which the direct communication link between a source and a destination is available. And, the outage probabilities for the AF-RS using FCI and using PCI are investigated in Rayleigh fading channels, respectively. We provide exact outage probabilities, tight outage probability lower bounds, and asymptotic outage probabilities, respectively. And also, we present coding gains achievable by the AF-RS using FCI and using PCI. Through numerical investigation, all the analytic expressions are verified, and the coding gains are respectively evaluated with different average channel powers for the first and the second hop as well as different numbers of relays.

This paper presents a data gathering and scheduling scheme for wireless sensor networks. We use a data gathering tree for sending the data from the sensor node to the base station. For an energy efficient operation of the sensor networks in a distributed manner, a time tree is built in order to reduce the collision probability and to minimize the total energy required to send data to the base station. A time tree is a data gathering tree where the base station is the root and each sensor node is either a relaying or a leaf node of the tree. Each tree operates in a different time schedule with possible different activation rate. Through the simulation, we found that the proposed scheme that uses time trees shows better characteristics in energy and data arrival rate when compared with other schemes such as SMAC and DMAC.

무선 센서 네트워크는 개방된 환경에서 무작위로 배치되어 악의적인 공격자들에게 쉽게 노출된다. 센서 노드는 한정된 에너지 자원과 손쉽게 훼손된다는 단점을 통해 허위 보고서와 투표 삽입 공격이 발생한다. Li와 Wu는 두 공격을 대응하기 위해 확률적 투표기반 여과기법을 제안하였다. 확률적 투표기반 여과기법은 고정적인 검증 경로를 결정하기 때문에 특정 노드의 에너지 자원고갈 위험이 있다. 본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크에서 보고서 여과 확률 향상을 위하여 퍼지 시스템을 기반으로 다음 노드 선택을 약 6% 효율적인 경로 선택 방법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 전달 경로 상의 노드 중 상태정보가 높은 노드를 검증 노드로 선택하고, 선택된 검증 노드는 허용 범위 경계 값을 기준으로 공격 유형을 판별하고 여과한다. 실험결과를 통해 제안기법은 기존기법과 비교하였을 때 에너지 효율이 향상되었다.

셀 내의 모바일 노드들의 수가 많고 셀 간의 이동이 빈번한 고속 모바일 네트워크에서는 기존 802.11 프로토콜로는 좋은 성능을 보장할 수 없다. 셀 내에 새로 진입한 노드들은 네트워크에 참여하기 위해 자신의 존재 여부를 알려야 한다. 802.11 표준에서는 이러한 선행되어야 할 작업을 스캐닝, 인증, 결합의 3가지 단계로 규정한다. 이 등록 작업은 셀 내의 다른 데이터 패킷을 보내려는 노드들과의 경쟁을 통해 이루어진다. 그러므로 셀 내의 노드 수가 많을 경우 기본적인 통신을 위해 선행되어야 할 등록 작업이 지연될 수 있다. 802.11 표준에서는 DCF 방식을 기본 매체 접근 프로토콜로 한다. DCF는 BEB (Binary Exponential Backoff) 알고리즘을 기반으로 한다. BEB 알고리즘의 여러 문제점[5]으로 이를 대체할 알고리즘이 연구되어왔으며, 그룹화를 통해 경쟁하는 노드의 수를 줄이는 방법도 고려되었다. 본 논문에서는 802.11의 성능 평가를 위한 모델링에 Markov chain을 이용한 논문[1]을 기반으로 하나의 노드가 등록 작업에 소요하는 평균 시간을 해석적으로 계산하였다. 셀 내의 전체 노드 수에 증가함에 따라 등록 시간을 계산하고, 직접 시뮬레이션을 통해 수식으로 얻어진 결과와 비교하였다. 또한 그룹화를 시뮬레이션 하여 전체 노드 수에 따라서 적절한 그룹 수의 조정이 그룹화하지 않았을 경우보다 더 나은 성능을 보여줄 수 있다는 것을 보였다.

In this paper, an optimization model for the clustered node allocation systems in the distributed computing environment is presented. In the presented model with a distributed file system framework, the dynamics of system behavior over times is carefully thought over the nodes and hence the functionality of the cluster monitor node to check the feasibility of the current set of clustered node allocation is given. The cluster monitor node of the node allocation system capable of distributing the parallel modules to clustered nodes provides a good allocation solution using Genetic Algorithms (GA). As a part of the experimental studies, the solution quality and computation time effects of varying GA experimental parameters, such as the encoding scheme, the genetic operators (crossover, mutations), the population size, and the number of node modules, and the comparative findings are presented.

Striping is a scheme that partitions data into blocks and distributes the blocks on different servers in a well defined order and thus could improve system capacity through load balance. In this paper, we propose a parallel VOD server and striping policies for load balancing when extra storage nodes are attached to a parallel VOD server for insufficient disk space in that VOD server. When new video data is stored on the attached storage node, the node may be overloaded. Since it decreases the system bandwidth, appropriate striping policies are required. We therefore present three striping policies that move some block of data o existing nodes into the new node and distribute the new data across all the storage nodes including the new node. Our experiment result shows that FSM bi-direction is the most effective technique.
