Reliable transport protocols such as TCP are tuned to Perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mainly because of congestion. In a wireless network, however, packet losses will occur more often due to reasons such as the high bit error rate and the handoff rather than due to congestion. When using TCP over wireless network, TCP responds to losses due to the high bit error rate and the handoff by invoking congestion control and avoidance algorithms, resulting in the degraded end-to-end performance in the wireless network. There have been several schemes for improving TCP performance over wireless links. Among them, SNOOP Is a very promising scheme because of the localized retransmission. In this thesis, an efficient scheme is proposed by modifying SNOOP scheme. The invocation of congestion control mechanism is now minimized by knowing the cause of packet loss.

Wireless sensor networks are installed in various environments and collect sensing data through wireless links. The quality of a wireless link may be unstable due to environment causes and hardware performance in wireless sensor networks. Since the change of the link quality may cause data loss, sensor nodes need to adaptively estimate the change of the link quality. Also, the routing protocol should deal with this situation. In this paper, the adaptive link quality estimation and routing scheme in the large-scale wireless sensor networks are proposed. When the quality of a link is unstable, sensor nodes agilely estimate the quality of links, and the new route is selected. When quality of a link is stable, the link quality is occasionally estimated so that the energy consumption is reduced. Moreover, sensor nodes exchange less beacons in order to reduce an overhead in dense networks. In the case of sparse network, the sensor nodes exchange more beacons for finding a better route. We prove that the proposed scheme can improve the energy efficiency and reliability.

센서 네트워크는 주로 물리적인 공간의 모니터링이나 위치 추적과 같은 주변의 정보를 얻고자 하는 환경에 사용되며, 이러한 정보는 비대칭적이고 비신뢰적인 무선 링크로 인해 불필요한 재전송을 요구하고 많은 손실이 발생한다. 이 때문에 신뢰적이고 에너지 효율적인 링크를 선택하기 위해 RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator), LQI(Link Quality Indicator)를 이용하여 무선 링크에 대한 품질을 추정하는 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 그 일차적인 단계로써 단일 홉 무선 센서 네트워크에서 MICAZ에 구현된 RSSI, LQI 값을 이용하여 노드간 무선 링크 품질을 모니터링하는 응용을 구현하였다. 구현 시나리오는 무선 링크의 비대칭성을 고려하기 위해, 순방향 링크 품질의 경우 센서 플랫폼이 BS로부터 수신한 요구 메시지의 RSSI, LQI 값을 응답 메시지에 캡슐화하여 BS로 전송하도록 하였고, 역방향 링크 품질의 경우 BS가 센서 플랫폼으로부터 수신한 응답 메시지의 RSSI, LQI 값을 기반으로 하였다. 또한 BS로 취합된 이러한 두 링크 품질을 PC상에 시각적으로 표시하기 위해 자바 기반의 링크 품질을 모니터링하는 응용을 구현하였다. 간단한 실험을 통해 RSSI, LQI로 얻은 무선 링크의 품질과 특성을 확인하였다.

Mobile IP는 현재의 인터넷에서 노드가 링크를 변화시킬 때 통신이 지속 될 수 있도록 이동성(Mobility)을 제공하기 위한 방안이다. Mobile IP는 MN(Mobile Node)이 HA(Home Agent) 와 FA(Foreign Agent)사이에서 링크를 변화시킬 때 CN(Correspondent Node)과 지속적인 통신을 할 수 있도록 한다. 그러나 FA에서 FA로 MN이 노드의 위치를 바꿀 때에는 핸드오프(Handoff)가 발생하여 패킷이 손실 될 수도 있다. 본 논문은 MN이 FA에서 다른 FA로 이동할 때 발생하는 패킷 손실과 순서변경에 대한 경우를 살펴 이를 해결하기 위한 Seamless 핸드오프 프로토콜을 기술하고 이를 검증한다.

이동성을 가진 다수의 노드들로 구성된 Ad­Hoc 무선 네트워크는 유선망이나 기지국이 존재하지 않는 환경에서 통신망을 구성하기 위한 목적으로 연구되어 왔다. Ad­Hoc 무선 네트워크에서 라우팅 프로토콜은 이동 노드들간의 연결을 위한 경로를 제공하며, 본 논문에서는 무선 Ad­Hoc 라우팅 프로토콜 중 AODV(Ad­Hoc On­Demand Distance Vector routing)의 개선된 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. AODV는 경로획득, 경로유지. 경로복구의 크게 3단계로 나누어져 있고, AODV에서의 경로복구는 전체 경로를 재설정하는 것으로 많은 오버헤드를 가지고 있다. 제안한 방법에서는 링크손실로 인한 경로복구의 과정을 링크 손실이 발생한 인접 지역내에서 행하게 함으로써 전체적인 성능 향상을 가져왔다.

In this paper we describe our investigation en ATM CLR(Cell Loss Rate) in the wireless ATM Networks, which consist of wireless access nodes and wireless links. A wireless access node is modelled as the ND/D/1queue. A wireless channel is modelled as channel with single and burst error characteristics, and it can be seen that the CLR degrades on a link with burst errors than on a link with single error. Because wireless channel can be approximated as the Rayleigh or Rician fading channel and wireless communication systems are power limited, it is customary that the CLR degrades on a link with burst errors than on a link with single error. So error control method should be used to improve performance degradation caused by burst errors. We consider the forward error correction(FEC) as error control scheme for CBR traffics to improve performance degradation caused by burst errors, and analyze performance of concatenated FEC scheme through the use of CLR.

The propagation prediction model of the earth-space communication link used as an international standard was used to calculate and analyze the total losses on the communication path. The standard definition and scope of ITU-R Rec. were analyzed for each parameter(rain, scintillation, atmospheric gas, clouds) used to calculate the total loss. The total losses were calculated using the standard model for each parameter and the statistical data provided by ITU-R, and the results were analyzed using the validation examples data. The rain losses were calculated using long-term local rainfall attenuation statistics data measured in the region, and compared with the calculation results using a rainfall map in the ITU-R Recommendation. The data of Cheollian satellites for the L-Band and Ka-Band were used to calculate the rainfall attenuation. In the range of 0.01% to 0.1%, it was found to have a greater attenuation slope when using local data than attenuation by the model of ITU-R.

In the wireless sensor networks using a multi-hop, quality variation of links occurs irregularly due to the hardware restriction and environmental factor. If an appropriate route, which is affected by the quality variation, is not selected. Traditionally, a beacon is periodically broadcasted and the link quality is estimated. However, the periodically beacon based scheme cannot efficiently estimate the quality of the link changing irregularly. In this paper, a scheme to estimate the link quality adaptively according to network state is proposed. When the link quality changes, the scheme adapts to a change agilely and packet losses are reduced. When there is no change of the link quality, the link quality is estimated in the long period and the energy consumption is reduced. Through performance evaluations, we prove that our adaptive link estimation scheme improves the energy efficiency and packet reception ratio than the periodic estimation scheme.
