Recently, many countries have been developing new protocols to improve the performance of tactical ad hoc networks for implementing NCW (Network Centric Warfare). Combat net radio (CNR) networks are the most important communication infra for the ground forces such as infantry of Army. U.S. Army had developed MIL-STD-188-220D that is the Interoperability Standard for DMTDs (Digital Messages Transfer Device Subsystems) for voice and data communication in CNR. MIL-STD-188-220D is a candidate for MAC protocol of TMMR which is next radio and has a few constraints to used in TMMR. NAD (Network Access Delay) defined in MIL-STD-188-220D needs time synchronization to avoid collision. However, it is difficult for time synchronization to fit in multi-hop environment. We suggest the enhanced DAP (Deterministic Adaptable Priority)-NAD to prevent conflicts and decrease delays in multi-hop CNR. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the performance in multi-hop CNR networks.

Mobile Ad Hoc Network is a kind of network technology, that mobile hosts can compose networks freely and temporarily where the base networks don't exist and where its establishment is difficult or as occasion demands. Ubiquitous computer network is prograssing in the forms of miniaturization, lightweight or portability. So far, MANET was studied in the point how to route it efficiently, but its power saving problems are been issuing nowadays. We try to not only compare and analyze power saving protocols in multi-hop Ad Hoc network but also present their efficiencies in this thesis.

Wi-Fi 메쉬 네트워크는 IEEE 802.11 표준을 기반으로 노트북, 스마트폰 등의 무선 단말에 인터넷 연결을 제공하기 위한 무선 다중 홉 네트워크이다. Wi-Fi 메쉬 네트워크에서는 무선 채널의 방송 특징으로 인해 발생하는 간섭(Interference) 때문에 프레임 충돌 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 프레임 간섭을 미연에 방지하는 스케줄링 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 각각의 무선 채널에서 간섭 조건을 만족하는 링크 조합을 결정하고, 이를 통하여 Wi-Fi 메쉬 네트워크의 프레임 전달 수율(Throughput)을 극대화함을 목표로 한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 본 논문에서 제시하는 스케줄링 MAC 프로토콜이 기존에 알려진 CSMA/CA 기반의 MAC 프로토콜에 비해 수율을 50 % 이상 향상함을 보인다.

In this paper, we propose an opportunistic data relay scheme in narrowband multihop combat radio networks. Narrowband networks have physical restrictions on high-speed transmission. Furthermore, the topology changes dynamically due to the jamming of the enemy, signal interference between friendly forces, and movement of network entities. Therefore, the traditional relay scheme that collects topology information and calculates a relay path before transmission is unsuitable for such networks. Our proposed scheme does not collect topology information and transmits data opportunistically. The scheme can cause unnecessary data relaying that is not related to data delivery to the destination node. However, for small networks, the effect of increasing network throughput by not gathering topology information is much greater than the effect of reducing throughput by unnecessary data relays. We demonstrate the performance superiority of the proposed scheme through simulation in the worst case of network topology.

In this paper, we propose a dynamic slot allocation scheme to improve the slot utilization rate in tactical multi-hop networks in which the channel condition varies due to node movements. The proposed scheme takes advantage of the fact that nodes that are more than three hops apart can use the same slot simultaneously. The frame is divided into two parts: the control period and the data period. To know the available slot information within two-hop distance, the node exchanges a slot allocation information with one-hop neighbors during the control period. The node can get the information on idle slots that are not used within two-hop distance but assigned already to other nodes that are more than three-hop away. The identified idle slot can be used by the node, which increases the slot utilization rate. The performance analysis results of the proposed scheme show that it increases the slot utilization rate sufficiently despite the overhead of the control period in the multi-hop networks of the future soldier system.

WMN(Wireless Mesh Network) is an wireless backbone network technology that is an easily configurable network in the low cost compared to the wireless LAN(Local Area Network). Most of the previous researches have evaluated their algorithms by the simulations rather than by the implementation. There exist some implementation papers, however, they have the limitations of the flexibility on the link establishment and the link quality utilization. Consequently, the benefit of the WMN - configuration flexibility is degraded and the performance deterioration occurs in the multi-hop wireless environment. In this paper, we introduce a Linux-based link layer Wireless Mesh Routing System - WBMR. The design and implementation of WBMR provides the dynamic link establishment and the effective multi-channel usage. We have modified the ntroof the original WLAN operation for the dynamic link establishment, and the Linux bridge for the link layer routing. The result of performance evaluation verifies that our WBMR supports fast self-configuration and increases data transmission throughput compared to the other researches of the wireless multi-hop environment.

In order to resolve the energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks, a multihop transmission technique is utilized. However, multihop transmission in wireless sensor networks (WSN) has pros and cons. It reduces total energy consumption, while it may cause a severe decrease in network lifetime. To solve this problem, we suggest the so called strike and bargaining algorithm (SBA). The routing path is determined by wages of nodes. Each node negotiates its wage with their neighbor nodes and determine a reasonable value to reach a optimally balanced point. By analysis and simulations, we show SBA can achieve a near optimal solution.

이동 애드혹 네트워크(Mobile Ad Hoc Network: MANET)는 유선 인프라 없이 구축된 무선 네트워크로 멀티 홉 통신을 수행할 수 있다. 인터넷 노드와 통신하고자 하는 MANET 노드에게 인터넷 연결을 가능하게 하는 방법이 요구되며 인터넷 연결은 인터넷과 MANET을 중계하는 인터넷 게이트웨이를 통해 지원된다. 게이트웨이들 간의 부하를 잘 분배한다면 네트워크 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있으므로, MANET 내에 여러 개의 인터넷 게이트웨이가 존재할 경우 이들 간의 부하균등화는 중요한 이슈이다. 본 연구에서는 부하균등화 기법을 제어 메시지의 플러딩 방법과 인터넷 게이트웨이를 선택하는 주체에 따라 4가지로 분류하며, 부하균등화 문제를 해결하기 위한 새로운 메트릭(metric)을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 홉 수와 라우팅 엔트리의 수를 메트릭으로 이용하는 새로운 기법의 성능이 기존 기법에 비하여 향상되었음을 보인다.

An ad hoc wireless networks forms temporary network without the aid of fixed networks or centralized administration with a collection of wireless mobile hosts. In this case, it is necessary for one mobile host to enlist the aid of other hosts in forwarding a packet to its destination. This paper presents an efficient cluster-based routing protocol scheme for ad hoc networks. The cluster is used for path setup and data delivery. Our cluster-based routing algorithm is designed for the improvement of the load balance. Our simulation results show the improved performance for low mobility networks comparing with the previous works.

Routing technique of wireless sensor network that is presented to improve effectiveness of consumption in energy at the previous study is existing in various ways, however for routing, its own location data and nodes' location data close to with 1-hop distance should be kept. And it uses multi-hop transmission method that transmits data to BS node via several nodes. This technique makes electronic consumption of sensor node and entire network's energy consumption so that it makes effective energy management problem. Therefore, this paper suggests location based 1-hop routing technique of BS node that satisfies distance $d{\pm}{\alpha}$ with source node using RSSI and radio wave range of sensor node.
