The Wireless Mesh Network uses a wireless communication technology with transmission rates similar to that of a cable, which is used as a backbone network. The topology structure is in a Mesh form which resembles an Ad-hoc network, however a metric is needed in order to set the channel and channel methods since the operation intentions and interior motions are different. This thesis proposes a metric(ETR : Expected Transmission Rate) that sets the channel with physical link performance and multi hop transmission capabilities. This metric will also be based on multi channel creation methods and Hop-by-hop routing techniques for an effective multi hop transmission with no loops.

In wireless mesh network, studies on routing protocols have been actively carried out recently, and hop count is used as a major routing metric in destination-sequenced distance-vector (DSDV) routing protocol, which is a representative proactive routing protocol. Although hop-by-hop multi-path (HMP) DSDV and enhanced HMP (EHMP) DSDV routing protocols perform routing by considering both hop count and residual bandwidth within one hop distance nodes, it has a shortcoming that routing is carried out via non-optimal path from the aspect of end-to-end routing. In order to overcome the shortcoming, a cost-aware multi-path (CAMP) DSDV routing protocol is proposed in this paper, which considers hop count and end-to-end minimum residual bandwidth. Simulation results based on NS-2 show that the proposed routing protocol performs better than DSDV, HMP DSDV, and EHMP DSDV protocols from the aspect of throughput and packet delivery ratio, by appropriately using hop count and end-to-end minimum residual bandwidth information and has the same number of management messages with HMP DSDV and EHMP DSDV protocols.

The research on multipath routing has been studied to solve the problem of frequent path breakages due to node and link failures and to enhance data delivery reliability in wireless sensor networks. In the multipath routing, mobile sinks such as soldiers in battle fields and rescuers in disaster areas bring about new challenge for handling their mobility. The sink mobility requests new multipath construction from sources to mobile sinks according to their movement path. Since mobile sinks have continuous mobility, the existing multipath can be exploited to efficiently reconstruct to new positions of mobile sinks. However, the previous protocols do not address this issue. Thus, we proposed an efficient multipath reconstruction protocol called LGMR for mobile sinks in wireless sensor networks. The LGMR address three multipath reconstruction methods based on movement types of mobile sinks: a single hop movement-based local multipath reconstruction, a multiple hop movement-based local multipath reconstruction, and a multiple hop movement-based global multipath reconstruction. Simulation results showed that the LGMR has better performance than the previous protocol in terms of energy consumption and data delivery delay.

With innovative advances in wireless communication technology, many researches for extending network lifetime in maximum by using energy harvesting have been actively performed on the area of network resource optimization, QoS-guaranteed transmission, energy-intelligent routing and etc. As known well, it is very hard to guarantee end-to-end network delay due to uncertainty of the amount of harvested energy in multi-hop RF(radio frequency) energy harvesting wireless networks. To minimize end-to-end delay in multi-hop RF energy harvesting networks, this paper proposes an energy efficient routing metric based on interference aware and protocol which takes account of various delays caused by co-channel interference, energy harvesting time and queuing in a relay node. The proposed method maximizes end-to-end throughput by performing avoidance of packet congestion causing load unbalance, reduction of waiting time due to exhaustion of energy and restraint of delay time from co-channel interference. Finally simulation results using ns-3 simulator show that the proposed method outperforms existing methods in respect of throughput, end-to-end delay and energy consumption.

There have been lots of researches on the optimal relay selection in relay-based systems. However, most researches have been focused on the maximization of transmission capacity with a constraint of sum power at both transmitter and relays. In Ad-hoc networks where relays have batteries of limited power, it is imperative to minimize the energy consumption while maintaining the required quality-of-service (QoS). In this paper, we propose an optimal relay selection strategy to minimize the relay power consumption while satisfying the required signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Through intensive simulations, we show the proposed method is more effective in terms of energy consumption and guarantee lower transmission failure probability in multi-hop Ad-hoc environments.

For large multihop networks, large time synchronization (TS) errors can accumulate with conventional methods, such as TPSN, RBS, and FTSP, since they need a large number of hops to cover the network. In this paper, a method combining Concurrent Cooperative Transmission (CCT) and Semi- Cooperative Spectrum Fusion (SCSF) is proposed to reduce the number of hops to cover the large network. In CCT, cooperating nodes transmit the same digitally encoded message in orthogonal channels simultaneously, so receivers can benefit from array and diversity gains. SCSF is an analog cooperative transmission method where different cooperators transmit correlated information simultaneously. The two methods are combined to create a new distributed method of network TS, called the Cooperative Analog and Digital (CANDI) TS protocol, which promises significantly lower network TS errors in multi-hop networks. CANDI and TPSN are compared in simulation for a line network.

The mobile radio networks can be divided into networks that has the base station or the infrastructures like AP(Access Point) and Ad Hoc network that hasn't any infrastructures. As there aren't any fixed infrastructures in Ad Hoc Networks, mobile nodes should transmit the data only among mobile nodes themselves. To supplement these weakpoints of the two networks, many studies about Ad Hocs based on the 802.11 are in progress. In this thesis, we try to propose the efficiency of the suggested protocols by comparing and analyzing power saving protocols according to the Beacon intervals in multi hop Ad Hoc Networks based on IEEE 802.11.

이동 임시 무선망은 잦은 망 구성의 변화, 라우터의 수, 제한된 사용 자원 등 기존 유선 네트워크와는 다른 특성들을 가지게 된다. 따라서 기존의 유선 네트워크에서 사용하던 라우팅 프로토콜들을 이동 임시 무선망에 그대로 적용시킨다면 많은 문제점들이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 라우팅 프로토콜은 이동 임시 무선망의 특성을 고려하여, 네트워크 내의 이동 호스트를 멀티 홉을 갖는 클러스터로 묶고. 클러스터 헤드로 하여금 자신의 멤버 호스트들과 이웃 클러스터들의 헤드 정보를 유지하게 하여, 경로 설정에 대한 요구가 있을 때에 적은 지연 시간과 적은 패킷으로 목적지까지의 최단 경로를 설정할 수 있도록 한다. 또한 경로 설정과 데이터 전송 모두가 클러스터 헤드를 이용한다. 이러한 경우 모든 데이터와 경로설정 시 발생하는 패킷들이 클러스터 헤드로 집중되어 네트워크 부하가 발생하게 되는데 본 제안에서는 네트워크의 부하를 줄이기 위하여 후보 클러스터 헤드를 이용하는 방법을 제시한다.

이동 Ad Hoc 네트워크(MANET)에서 많은 영역에 걸쳐 다양한 라우팅 프로토콜들이 제안되어 왔다. 다중전송률은 현재 많은 무선 랜 카드에 의해 지원되고 있고, 그 효과에 관한 라우팅 프로토콜 알고리즘들이 연구되고 있다. 다중전송률에서의 high-rate을 이용한 데이터 전송은 일정한 시간 내에 더 많은 데이터를 전송할 수 있기 때문에 높은 throughput을 기대 할 수 있다. 그러나 high-rate을 이용한 데이터 전송의 경우 전송이 가능한 거리가 짧아져 목적노드까지 도달하는 데에 더 많은 홉을 거쳐야 한다. 그로 인해 패킷을 전달하는데 걸리는 시간이 늘어나 전교 네트워크의 성능을 저하시킬 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 노드들의 이동으로 인한 네트워크의 토폴로지 변화나 채널의 상태에 따라 어떤 전송 속도로 데이터를 전송할 것인가를 결정하기 위해 다중전송률을 고려한 위치 정보 기반의 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다.
