The wireless sensor network technology becomes one of core technologies to make it possible to implement various e-business applications. Energy efficiency is an important issue in wireless sensor networks. IEEE 802.15.4, a representative international standard for wireless sensor networks, provides the beacon enabled mode for energy-efficient communication. However, the beacons may conflict each other when the network is of multi-hop topology such as mesh or cluster-tree topology with beacon-enabled mode. The beacon conflict causes the failure of synchronization between sensor nodes, and affects other nodes in the network in that unsynchronized nodes cannot participate in communication. In this paper, we suggest an energy-efficient beacon scheduling for the wireless sensor networks. Nodes can save their energy duringperiod and prevent beacon conflict using beacon scheduling. We implement the scheduling using QualNet, and evaluate the performance under mesh topology networks. It turns out that the proposed scheduling may improve the energy efficiency in the networks.

일반적으로 선형 토폴로지 (chain topology) 무선메쉬네트워크의 종단간 최대 전송률은 경쟁관계 그래프 (contention graph)에 기반하여 트래픽 병목 구간의 노드 개수와 1 홉 링크의 평균 전송률을 결정하여 계산하는 방식이 널리 이용된다. 본 논문은 평균을 이용한 방법은 IEEE 802.11 DCF (Distributed Coordination Function)를 MAC 프로토콜로서 사용하는 무선메쉬네트워크에서 정확성에 한계가 있음을 보이며, 이와 같은 정확성의 한계를 유도하는 인자로서 전송률의 편차를 소개한다. 또한 전송률 편차를 고려하여, 단일 선형 토폴로지에서 종단간 최대 전송률을 구하는 방법을 ns2 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.

In this paper we propose an improved hierarchical routing protocol for wireless hybrid mesh network. The proposed method efficiently manages network topology and reduces overhead traffic for setting routing path by considering link stability. The simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the HOLSR (hierarchical optimized link state routing) method in aggregate goodput, packet delivery ratio, and end-to-end delay.

Due to the ease of deployment and the extended coverage, wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are gaining popularity and research focus. For example, the routing protocols that enhance the throughput on the WMNs and the link quality measurement schemes are among the popular research topics. However, most of these works assume that the locations of the mesh routers are predetermined. Since the operators in an Indoor mesh network can determine the locations of the mesh routers by themselves, it is essential to the WMN performance for the mesh routers to be initially placed by considering the performance issues. In this paper, we propose a mesh router placement scheme based on genetic algorithms by considering the characteristics of WMNs such as interference and topology. There have been many related works that solve similar problems such as base station placement in cellular networks and gateway node selection in WMNs. However, none of them actually considers the interference to the mesh clients from non-associated mesh routers in determining the locations of the mesh routers. By simulations, we show that the proposed scheme improves the performance by 30-40% compared to the random selection scheme.

Mapping virtual process topology to physical processor topology is one of the most important design issues in parallel programming. However, the mapping problem is complicated due to the topology irregularity and routing complexity. This paper proposes a new process mapping scheme called adjacency-based mapping (AM) for irregular cluster systems assuming that the two-dimensional mesh process topology is specified as an interprocess communication pattern. The cluster systems have been studied and developed for many years since they provide high interconnection flexibility, scalability, and expandability which are not attainable in traditional regular networks. The proposed AM tries to map neighboring processes in virtual process topology to adjacent processors in physical processor topology. Simulation study shows that the proposed AM results in better mapping quality and shorter interprocess latency compared to the conventional approaches.

최근 애드혹 네트워크에서 신뢰성과 확장성을 고려하여 메쉬 라우팅의 지원이 요구되고 있으며 IEEE 802.15.5의 Low-rate WPAN Mesh 와 ZigBee alliance에서 AODV를 기반으로 한 메쉬 라우팅이 대표적이다. IEEE 802.15.5 Low-rate WPAN Mesh의 경우 메쉬 라우팅을 위해 hello command의 주기적인 브로드캐스팅이 필요한데 이는 네트워크를 구성하는 노드의 밀집도가 증가할 경우 그 부하가 기하급수적으로 증가하게 된다. 또한 ZigBee alliance의 AODV 기반 메쉬 라우팅 기법도 RREQ 메시지의 브로드캐스팅에 기반하고 있기 때문에 경로 설정을 위한 제어 트래픽의 부하가 매우 크다는 단점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 TDMA 네트워크에서 TDMA MAC의 특성과 토폴로지 기반으로 할당된 주소를 활용한 메쉬 라우팅 알고리즘의 설계를 제안한다.

Clustering is a topology control approach often used in wireless ad hoc networks to improve scalability and prolong network lifetime. Furthermore, it is also employed to provide semi-management functionalities and capacity enhancement. The usage of clustering topology control technique can also be applied to multi-radio wireless mesh network. This would utilize the advantages of the multi-radio implementation in the network. The aggregation would result to a more stable, connected, scalable and energy-efficient network. On this paper, we design a clustering algorithm for multi-radio wireless mesh network that would use these advantages and would take into consideration both mobility and heterogeneity of the network entities. We also show that the algorithm terminates at a definite time t and the message control overhead complexity is of constant order of O(1) per node.

In OFDMA-based wireless mesh networks, synchronization of carrier frequencies among adjacent nodes is known to be difficult. In this paper, a distributed synchronization technique is proposed to solve the synchronization problem in OFDMA-based wireless mesh networks by using the bio-inspired algorithm. In the proposed approach, carrier frequencies of all nodes in a mesh network are converged into one frequency by locally synchronizing the frequencies of adjacent nodes. It may take a long time to be converged in some topologies since the convergence characteristic of carrier frequencies in a mesh network may vary depending on the size of the network and deployment of nodes. It is shown that fast frequency synchronization, not heavily depending on the topology, can be achieved through the proposed algorithm with an adjustable weight.
