Ad Hoc Self-Organizing TDMA (ASO-TDMA) has been proposed as a specification to support the multi-hop data communication service for ships over VHF band. It allows for organizing a multi-hop ad-hoc network in a distributed manner by sharing the radio resources among the ships navigating along the route. In this paper, Markov chain analysis is given to provide the average throughput performance for ASO-TDMA protocol Furthermore, the analytical results are verified with computer simulation, which shows that there exists the optimal transmission rate to maximize the average throughput as the subframe size and the number of ships are varying in each hop region.

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.

Research on media access control (MAC) scheme for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been mainly focused on energy efficiency improvement, while interest on latency is relatively weak. However, end-to-end latency could be a critical limitation specifically in the multi-hop network such as wireless multimedia sensor networks. In this paper we propose a media access control scheme with distributed transmission power control to Improve end-to-end transmission latency as well as reduce power consumption in multi-hop wireless sensor networks. According to the simulation results, the proposed scheme is turned out to be an energy efficient scheme with improved end-to-end transmission latency.

고정된 망을 가지지 않고, 이동 호스트로만 이루어져 통신되는 망인 Ad-hoc 네트워크에서 고속으로 이동 중인 차량들 간의 긴급한 정보를 주고받아 고속도로에서의 다중 충돌사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있는 차량 통신 프로토콜을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 도로위의 차량들은 서로 연계성이 없기 때문에 위치추적시스템인 GPS에서 수신한 거리 값을 연계하여 클러스터를 구성한다. 클러스터를 IEEE 802.11 MAC 계층에서 구성하기 때문에 경로 설정으로 인한 과부하문제를 해소 하였다. 논문에서 제안한 액티브 네트워크 기반의 멀티 홉 라우팅 프로토콜은, Active 네트워크를 이용하여 안정된 통신이 이루어 질수 있도록 한다.

We proposed a simple and efficient routing protocol designed specifically for multi-hop ad-hoc networks. The proposed protocol is composed of the two routing tables which work together to allow nodes to send and receive packets. All aspects of the protocol can be operated on networks entirely consisting bidirectional links and networks with unidirectional links. Finding unidirectional link is embedded in the routing protocol since we considered not only bidirectional links but also unidirectional links when we developed a routing method.

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.

In this paper, we propose a buoy system based on multi-hop relay networks for ocean observation. The proposed system consists of various sensor modules, a gateway, wireless communication modules, and a remote monitoring site. The sensor modules are integrated with various communication interfaces and connected to the gateway of the proposed buoy system with an unified protocol based on controller area network (CAN)-bus. In order to communicate with the remote monitoring site and extend the coverage, the proposed system uses long-term evolution (LTE) router and XBee mesh network modules. The field test results show that the proposed system can extend the coverage using the proposed multi-hop relay network.

무선 ad-hoc 네트워크는 중앙의 특별한 관리 체계 없이 기존의 유선 네트워크 또는 기지국을 사용하지 않는 이동 호스트들만으로 구성된 네트워크를 말한다. 이러한 무선 ad-hoc 네트워크는 잦은 망 구성의 변화 라우터의 수, 제한된 사용자원 등 기존 유선 네트워크와는 다른 특성들을 가지게 된다. 따라서 기존의 유선 네트워크에서 사용하던 라우팅 프로토콜들을 무선 ad-hoc 네트어크의 특성을 고려하여 네트워크 내의 이동 호스트를 멀티 흡을 갖는 클러스터로 묶고 클러스터 헤드로 하여금 자신의 멤버 호스트들과 이웃 클러스터들의 헤드 정보를 유지하게 하여 경로 설정에 대한 요구가 있을때에 적은 지연시간과 적은 패킷으로 목적지까지의 최단 경로를 설정할 수 있도록한다. 또한 이동 호스트로 구성된 클러스터를 무선 ad-hoc 네트워크의 변화에 따라서 적절한 크기로 변화시켜 네트워크에 발생되는 경로 검색 오버헤드를 줄일수 있게 하였고 경로 복구와 경로 유지에 드는 비용을 최소화하기 위한 알고리즘을 제시한다.

WMN is considered as a core methodology to provide mobile wireless network service with multi-hop routing feature. It has a merit that can be easily deployed by utilization of protocols for MANET. However, it has differences in supporting multiple networks and channels, network architecture, and so on. Especially, in case of routing protocols, to apply them intactly to WMN can be a cause of low performance because of do not moving mesh routers. AODV seems like suitable for WMN among the various routing protocols for MANET. However, it has a defect in scalability. In this paper, an enhanced AODV routing method for WMN was proposed. The proposed method was designed to be suitable to the architecture of WMN by use of layering and localizing the broadcasting domain.

Recently, small-scale IoT services using a small amount of information through low-performance computing have been spread. It requires low cost, low-power, and long-distance communication technologies with wide communication radius, relatively low power consumption. This paper proposes a MAC layer and routing protocol that supports multi-hop transmission in small-scale IoT environment distributed over a large area based on LoRa communication and delivering a small amount of sensing data. The terminal node is mobile and the communication type provides bidirectional transmission between the terminal node and the network application server. By applying the proposed protocol, a production line monitoring system for smart factory was implemented. It was confirmed that the basic monitoring functions are normally performed.
