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.

Geocast 기법은 특정지역의 노드 집합을 멀티캐스트 그룹으로 정하고 멀티캐스트 서비스를 진행한다. 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크(MANET)에서는 geocast를 통해 멀티캐스트 서비스를 세션 정보를 브로드캐스트 할 수 있고 geocast 서비스 구역인 GR(Geocast Region)은 라우팅 경로 테이블을 유지함으로써 멀티캐스트 서비스 가입 및 데이터 전송을 위한 전달 기능을 수행한다. 하지만 이동 노드의 현재 위치에 상관없이 멀티캐스트 서비스에 가입하는 모든 노드들이 GR을 경유하는 경로를 이용하기 때문에 평균 홉 수의 증가와 데이터 전송 지연 등 문제를 야기하게 된다. 이런 문제를 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 이동성으로 인한 위치정보를 고려한 geocast 기반의 멀티캐스트 라우팅 최적화 기법을 제안하였고 노드 수에 따른 평균 홉 수에 대한 분석을 통해 제안한 최적화 기법이 네트워크 평균 홉 수를 줄일 수 있음을 증명하였다.

For the wireless mesh networks, efficient routing protocol is required to transmit data from source to destination node through multi-hop transmission. Multipath routing enable the stable data transmission even in the case of traffic congestion or unstable link. In this paper, we propose partial multipath routing which does not make a full multipath but partial for some parts of unstable links. This partial multipath routing reduce the number of nodes for routing and minimized the required power.

Efficient routing algorithm is required to transmit data from source to destination by multi-hop transmission in wireless sensor networks. In the multi-hop transmission, multipath routing can be one of the solutions to cope with the traffic congestion and unstable link condition. In this paper, we propose partial multipath routing which does not establish a secondary full routing path but a partial multipath to complement some poor links, and it can enable stable data transmission and reduce the number of nodes in routing path and the required total power compared with conventional multipath routing.

To solve the shortage of radio spectrum and utilize spectrum resource more efficiently, cognitive radio technologies are proposed, and many studies on cognitive radio have been conducted. Multi-hop routing is one of the important technologies to enable the nodes to transmit data further with lower power in ad-hoc cognitive radio networks. In a multi-channel cognitive radio networks, each channel should be allocated to minimize interference to primary users. In the multi-hop routing, channel allocation should consider the inter-channel interference to maximize network throughput. In this paper, we propose multi-channel scheduling scheme which minimizes inter-channel interferences and avoids collision with primary users for the multi-hop multi-channel cognitive radio networks. The proposed scheduling is designed to determine both of routing path and channel selection. The performance of proposed channel allocation scheme is evaluated by the computer simulation in the aspect of capacity and collision rate.

본 논문에서는 멀티 홉 무선 네트워크에서 적용 가능한 통합적인 MAC 및 라우팅 프로토콜인 ExOR 의 성능개선을 위한 방안을 제시하였다. ExOR 은 무선 네트워크의 전송이 브로드 캐스트 방식으로 이루어지는 것을 이용하여 기회주의적인 라우팅을 시도함으로써 멀티 홉 무선 네트워크에서 링크의 사용량을 낮추고 쓰루풋을 높일 수 있는 전송 기법이다. 하지만 ExOR 은 멀티 홉 무선 네트워크의 크기가 확장되거나 링크의 전송률이 낮다면 라우팅에 참여하는 노드들의 패킷 전달이 원활하지 않기 때문에 지연시간이 크게 증가하여 성능이 급격히 저하되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 ExOR 라우팅 프로토콜을 적용 시, 패킷을 전달하는 노드 이외의 다른 노드들이 자기 차례가 되기 전까지 아무 일도 하지 않는다는 점에 착안하여 동시에 2 개 이상의 노드가 패킷을 전달하는 방식을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 ExOR 라우팅에 참여하는 노드가 패킷을 전달 할 때, 패킷 간 충돌 및 간섭을 최소로 할 수 있는 2 개 이상의 다른 노드를 선택하여 동시에 패킷 전송을 시도하는 방식으로 지연시간을 줄이고, 쓰루풋을 향상시키는 것을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다.

In intelligent subway systems, UWB-based WiMedia D-MAC Protocol can be considered to send and receive multimedia data which requires high data rate. However, network devices which do not exist within 10 meters, the limited communication rage, can not communicate with each other because WiMedia does not support multi-hop communications. In this paper, we developed the algorithm to select a relaying device for multi-hop routing on WiMedia networks. In the first step, each device acquires information of neighbors through beacon and decides whether it is a normal or relaying device using the acquired information. In the next step, all devices can create the 2-hop routing table using the information received via relaying devices and the whole routing table for all devices on networks, eventually.

In wireless sensor networks, real-time applications have to ensure the timely delivery of real-time data. Recently, OMLRP (On-demand Multi-hop Look-ahead Routing Protocol) has been proposed to improve the timeliness of wireless sensor networks. The protocol needs initialization time to establish multi-hop information based routing path because it performs incremental look-ahead of the information. Consequently, the protocol deteriorates DDSR (Deadline Delivery Success Ratio) as an event moves because it takes little consideration of event mobility. In this paper, we proposed a Real-time Routing for Events Mobility (RREM) which exploits a data redirection in order to improve the DDSR of moving events. Instead of recollecting muti-hop look-ahead information, the RREM redirects the data to a sensor node holding the information collected in a previous round. We verify the timeliness and energy efficiency of RREM using various MatLab simulations.

In traditional routing protocols including LEACH for wireless sensor networks, nodes suffer from unbalanced energy consumption because the nodes require large transmission energy as the distance to the sink node increase. Multi-hop based routing protocols have been studied to address this problem. In existing protocols, each cluster head usually chooses the closest head as a relay node. We propose LEACH-CHT, in which cluster heads choose the path with least energy consumption to send data to the sink node. In our research, each hop, a cluster head selects the least cost path to the sink node. This method solves the looping problem efficiently as well as make it possible that a cluster head excludes other cluster heads placed farther than its location from the path, without additional energy consumption. By balancing the energy consumption among the nodes, our proposed scheme outperforms existing multi-hop schemes by up to 36% in terms of average network lifetime.

In wireless multi-hop network, many applications need multicast communication where the group leader needs to send data to all members of the group. Multicast routing provides a balanced, efficient, and fairness network environment for the group members. However, large load for transmission management to leader node and signal interference between several paths for multi-hop links always took long transmission delay and low throughput efficiency. In this paper, we propose a Zone-based Hierarchical Multicast Routing Protocol (ZHMP). This routing protocol is designed based on zone routing schemes, where proactive routing is applied for intra-zone node level multicasting and reactive routing is used for searching inter-zone paths. By each hierarchical and independent multicast working in separated zones, load of multicast source node will be distributed by several zone-level routings for a better load balance and signal interference between each multi-hop paths will be resisted for a maximum multicast throughput.
