센서 네트워크에서의 네트워크 리프로그래밍은 무선 통신을 통해 센서 노드에서 수행되는 소프트웨어를 변경하는 것으로서, 이를 사용하면 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 수백 개 혹은 수천 개의 노드들의 소프트웨어를 효과적으로 변경시킬 수 있다. 현재 네트워크 리프로그래밍을 위해 XNP, MNP. MOAP, Deluge, Mate 및 Incremental 기법 등이 제안되어 왔지만 아직 만족할만한 방법은 찾아보기 힘든 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 멀티홉을 지원하는 Deluge에 Incremental 기법을 통합하여 효율적인 리프로그래밍 기법을 구현하였다. 제안된 기법은 TinyOS 1.1.14 버전에 구현되었으며, 이를 통해서 네트워크 리프로그래밍을 위해 요구되는 패킷의 수와 소요시간을 크게 단축시킬 수 있다. 또한 센서 노드에서 패킷 전송에 따른 전력소 모가 가장 큰 점을 고려할 때 본 연구에서 제안하는 방식을 사용하면 센서 노드의 전력소모량도 크게 감소시킬 수 있는 효과를 기대할 수 있다.

유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크(USN)는 다수의 u-센서 노드간 애드 혹(Ad Hoc), 멀티 홉(Multi Hop) 통신으로 구성된다. 그러나 USN이 시작 단계인 현재 시점에서, 과거 시리얼이나 이더넷으로 구성된 유선 네트워크를 지그비, 블루투스, 와이파이 등을 이용한 포인트 투 포인트 (Point To Point) 무선 네트워크로 전환하는 이슈가 많은 부분을 차지하고 있다. 하지만 적용 범위가 넓고 별도의 광역 인프라를 구성하기 곤란한 경우, USN을 이용한 애드 흑, 멀티홉 메시 네트워크를 구성하는 사례도 점차 늘어나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 환경에서 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크를 보다 쉽고 편리하게 모니터링 하기 위한 시스템을 제안하였다.

최근 통신사업자들이 초고속 무선 인터넷 서비스를 위하여 와이브로 네트워크를 설치하고 있으나, 산간 지역이나 네트워크 인프라를 구축하기 어려운 지역에서는 와이브로 서비스를 제공받지 못하는 경우가 생긴다. 현재 와이브로 네트워크에서는 서비스를 제공받지 못하는 음영지역을 중계기를 이용하여 해소하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 음영지역에 고정 중계기를 설치하는 대신 고정 중계기 비용 절감 및 능동적인 네트워크 확장이 가능하도록 WLAN 네트워크에서 연구되고 있는 ad-hoc 기반의 멀티홉 릴레이 방식을 사용하여 음영지역 문제를 해결하고자 한다

Though WiMedia supports the higher data rates than other WPAN technologies, a WiMedia device cannot reach other devices which are apart from it more than 10 meter; the limited transmission range of the WiMedia protocol. In this paper, we propose a multi-hop QoS routing protocol to enable WiMedia devices to transmit real-time data to devices that is located out of transmission range. The proposed routing protocol is a hybrid routing protocol, which is the mixed protocol of table-driven and on-demand routing algorithm. In the proposed protocol, a route for a device within 2-hop is established by using the table-driven routing algorithm and a route for the device beyond 2-hop is established by using the on-demand routing algorithm. We perform ns-2 simulation to investigate the performance of the proposed routing protocol with AODV and DSDV. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol's performance is better than AODV and DSDV in terms of the throughput and delay.

In this paper, we propose a distributed transmit power control algorithm for optimal end-to-end throughput in wireless multihop networks. Considering a solidarity property of link rates consisting of a multihop link and the fact that the multihop end-to-end throughput is determined by the minimum link rate, the proposed scheme controls the transmit power to make all link rates be equal and so maximizes the end-to-end throughput of multihop link. In addition, in the proposed scheme the transmit node calculates its transmit power autonomously in a distributed manner just through the information sharing with its neighbor nodes and so decreases the information sharing overhead. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves significant improvements in terms of end-to-end throughput and power consumption compared with the conventional maximum equal power allocation scheme.

Recently, lot of researches on multi-level protocol have been done to balance the sensor node energy consumption of WSN and to improve the node efficiency to extend the life of the entire network. Especially in multi-hop protocol, a variety of models have been studied to improve energy efficiency and apply it in real system. In multi-hop protocol, we assume that energy consumption can be adjusted based on the distance between the sensor nodes. However, according to the physical property of the actual WSN, it's hard to establish this. In this paper, we propose low-power sub-cluster protocol to improve the energy efficiency based on the spread of distance. Compared with the previous protocols, the proposed protocol is energy efficient and can be effectively used in the wireless sensing network.

Distributed relay scheme for wireless ad hoc multi-hop multicast network composed of low-power and low-complexity wireless devices with high density is proposed. The proposed relay scheme is shown to be better than flooding, which is the distributed relay scheme applied to ZigBee, in the outage probability and the multicast transmission rate by simulations.

Intra-session network coding has been proposed to improve throughput by simplifying scheduling of multi-hop wireless network and efficiency of packet transmission. Multi-rate transmission has been used in multihop wireless networks. An opportunistic routing with multirate shows throughput improvement compared with single rate. In this paper, we propose a method of throughput improvement in multi-hop wireless network by using multi-rate and intra-session network coding. We suggest a method to select an local optimal transmission rate at each node. The maximum throughput is evaluated by using linear programming (LP). To solve the LP, we use MATLAB and lp_solve IDE program. The performance evaluation results show that end-to-end throughput is improved by using multirate and intra-session network coding can achieve better throughput than opportunistic routing.

This paper presents problems of network technology in smart grid and implements a blockchain-based LoRa multi-hop network to solve them. Since some smart grid applications are operated in harsh environments, it is difficult to establish communication infrastructure. We propose a LoRa network with multi-hop using the Flooding routing protocol. Smart grid environment composes an independent network using various power grid protocols depending on the application. Since this has a problem that an independent infrastructure must be established for each network, a single gateway device supports multiple power grid protocols to implement a method for network integration. Lastly, the author applied Hyperledger-based blockchain to the LoRa network to ensure the integrity of data in a smart grid environment, and strengthened security by physically distributing it. After constructing the three suggestions on the actual test bed, we confirmed that the network operates normally through experiments.

This paper proposes to increase the node energy effienciecy, which rapidly drops during the transmission of LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierachy), using the method of DL-LEACH (Dual-hop Layered LEACH). By introducing dual-hop method in the data transmission, the proposed single-hop method for short-range transmission and multi-hop transmission method between the cluster heads for remote transmission was introduce. By introducing a partial multi-hop method in the data transmission, a single-hop method for short range transmission method between the cluster heads for remote transmission was introduces. In the proposed DL-LEACH, the energy consumption of cluster head for remote transmission reduces and increases the energy efficiency of sensor node by reducing the transmission distance and simplifying the transmission routine for short-range transmission. As compared the general LEACH, it was adapted to a wider sensor field.
