본 논문은 다양한 방향성과 멀티 홉을 고려하여 최적의 콘텐츠 제공을 위한 릴레이 차량 선택 방안을 제안한다. 도로변 기지국의 제한성으로 인해 자율 주행 차량에 탑승한 승객들이 콘텐츠를 충분히 전달받는 데에 있어서, 지연시간과 버퍼링 등의 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서, 도로변 기지국의 보조를 위하여 주위의 다른 차량들을 활용하여 요청된 콘텐츠를 원활하게 제공할 수 있다. 하지만, 기존 방안들은 한 대 또는 너무 많은 차량을 무분별하게 선택함으로써 최적화된 성능을 도출할 수 없었다. 그러므로, 본 논문은 요청 차량과 같은 방향으로 이동하는 1 차 릴레이 차량을 선발하는 데에 있어서 반대쪽에서 오는 2 차 릴레이 차량의 사전 캐싱량을 활용하는 방안을 제안한다. 1차 릴레이 차량의 충분한 요청 차량과의 연결 시간에 비교하여 부족한 사전 캐싱량을 2 차 릴레이 차량들로 보충함으로써 지연시간과 버려지는 패킷을 최소화할 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose VLC(visible light communication) based multi-hop multimedia data transmission system. The main contributions and features of the proposed system are as follows. First, the contribution of this research is to develope the LED communication based multi-hop transmission network system which can transmit multimedia data(audio data, video data) with long distance. Second, the developed system has the following features: In transmitter, audio data and video data are transmitted via multi-hops using two channels. The relay in audio channel receives digital audio signal by using photo diode and then transmits the signal to receiver after error checking and amplifying. The receiver receives the encoded audio data via photo diode and then converts to analog audio signal by using decoding and amplifying. The relay in video channel receives video signal by using photo diode and then amplify the video signal using OP-AMP and then transmits the signal to receiver. The receiver amplifies the received signal from photo diode and then sends it to the monitor. The performance evaluation of the proposed system is conducted in the laboratory with fluorescent light source. The results of the performance evaluation confirm that the system can provide high quality multimedia data transmission from transmiter to receiver via multi-hop relays in a long distance while we can see there are differences in the transmitted multimedia(audio and video) quality according to the used LED colors.

In this paper, we propose a multi-hop cooperative transmission protocol over Rayleigh fading channels. In the proposed protocol, the multi-hop cooperative transmission is used to improve the system performance. Due to broadcast nature, we do not limit the receiving node to be only the next node, but the destination and all the nodes between the transmitting node and the destination. The proposed protocol can hence save the average transmit power, compared with multi-hop direct transmission protocol due to the skipped transmissions from some intermediate nodes or chosen relays. The proposed scheme is implemented and evaluated in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks.

This paper proposes a multichannel random access channel allocation scheme for multihop cellular networks to guarantee the stable throughput of a random access. The fundamental contribution is a mathematical formula for an optimal partition ratio of shared random access channels between a base station and a relay station. In addition, the proposed scheme controls the retransmission probability of random access packets under heavy load condition. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can guarantee the required random access channel utilization and packet transmission delay even if the a random access packet arrival rate is higher than 0.1.

This paper proposes a mechanism to increase performance using cooperative communications in IEEE 802.11 environment. Existing algorithms use one relay between a source and a destination, which is a 2 hop relay. The proposed algorithm utilizes more than one relay to complement inefficiency of using one relay. In the proposed mechanism, an AP manages network information (rate), which is used to select relays of a source by the AP. The AP notifies the selected relays to the source and neighbor nodes, and the source transmits data to the relays for cooperative communications. Moreover, relays are given to have an opportunity to send its own data right after relaying the source's data. So relays are compensated for the power to send the source's data and overall throughput is improved.

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.

In order to reduce end-to-end delay in EH-WSN (energy harvestin wireless sensor netowk), medium access control protocols using multi-hop routing technique have been studied. In a real environment, there are many situations where it is difficult to harvest enough energy than the energy consumed. Therefore, it is required to design a MAC protocol that allows nodes to reliably relay data without exhausting power in multi-hop transmission. In this paper, we propose a power-efficient MAC protocol that can select the relay node according to the residual power and the energy collection rate to increase network lifetime.

Communication systems beyond 3G should provide more than 100 Mbps for wireless access. In addition to smart antennas, wireless multi-hop networks are proposed to increase the cell size and throughput. For example, Zigbee technology is expected to provide low cost and low power connectivity and can be implemented in wireless mesh networks larger than is possible with Bluetooth. Also, home embedded system using wireless mesh network is one of the key market areas for Zigbee applications. If the line-of-sight path is shadowed by home obstacles, a direct connection between the access point (AP) and the node is not possible at high frequencies. Therefore, by using multi-hop relay scheme the end node can be reached to AP. In this paper, the relaying of data between the AP and the end node is investigated and the throughput and PER(Packet Error Rate) are evaluated in multi-hop wireless mesh networks by using DSSS/BPSK system.

There are two relays between transmitter and receiver, and text files are transmitted continuously by using text transmission programming. In this experiment, we test the performance with various baud rates, transmission ranges.
