As the mobile technology advances, file searching among the mobile device users becomes more important. In this paper, we propose the uniform grid, greedy, and MIS P2P systems that have double-layered topology to search files efficiently for mobile ad-hoc networks. In these systems, peers are classified into two groups, super-peers and sub-peers, and each super-peer manages its neighboring sub-peers. In the proposed systems, each super-peer maintains the appropriate information of its sub-peers so that when a peer requests a file, the request is sent to its super-peers and then to neighboring super-peers. Hence the proposed systems could avoid multi-broadcasting and reduce network overheads. The experimental results show that the proposed systems outperform a single-layered P2P system in terms of the average number of messages to find target files. Especially the MISsystem improves by reducing the average number of messages by 48.9% while maintaining the same search accuracy.

In MANET, the frequent movement of nodes causes the dynamic network topology changes. Therefore, it is required that the routing protocol should be very stable to effectively respond the changes of the network changes. Moreover, the existing cluster-based routing protocol, that is the hybrid approach, has routing delay due to the re-electing of the cluster header. In addition, the routing table of CBRP has all only one hop distant neighbor nodes. PCBRP, proposed in this paper, ties two clusters in one paired cluster to make longer radius. Then the headers of the paired cluster manage and operate corresponding member nodes. In the current CBRP, when the cluster header leaves out the cluster, the delay, due to the re-electing a header, should be occurred. However, in PCBRP, another cluster header of the paired cluster plays the role instead of the left cluster header. This method reduces the routing delay. Concurrently, PCBRP reduces the delay when they route nodes in the paired cluster internally.

Due to the popularity of mobile devices and advances in wireless communication technologies, a mobile ad hoc network has received a lot of attention. In the existing data replication management research, the use of a replica has been shown to be an efficient technique for improving data accessibility. However, to use a replica in ad hoc networks, the data consistency between the original data and the replica should be guaranteed. In the traditional research, a mobile node should check an original data whether the data is updated or not. However, It may be costly or sometimes impossible to check the original data. In the case of the time constraint applications, the checking cost can cause more serious problem. In this paper, we propose the time-guarantee based cache invalidation schemes for time constraint applications and the threshold based compensation method to enhance the time-guarantee based scheme. The proposed schemes can remove the "rollback" problem. Simulation results show that our schemes outperform the previous ones in terms of access time with little loss of data currency.

IEEE 802.11 표준은 채널 상태에 따라 다양한 전송 속도를 지원하며, 무선랜 환경에서 이러한 특성을 활용하는 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 그러나, 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크 환경에서 다중전송속도를 활용하는 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 본 논문은 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크에서 동적으로 다중전송속도를 활용하여 채널 효율을 높이는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 MAC 계층과 네트워크 계층 중간에 위치하며 각 계층에 독립적으로 동작한다. 라우팅 프로토콜에서 결정한 다음 홉에 더불어, 제안 기법은 더 빠른 전송 속도를 갖는 중계 경로를 탐색한다. 또한, 패킷의 크기에 따라 경쟁 부하를 고려하여 선택적으로 전송 경로를 변경한다. 모의 실험을 통한 성능 평가는 제안 기법의 우수한 성능을 입증한다.

In this paper, we propose a RF energy harvesting based routing protocol in mobile ad-hoc wireless sensor networks. The main features and contributions of the proposed routing protocol are as follows. First, establishment of routing route based on both remaining energy of mobile sensor nodes and RF energy harvesting. Second, establishment of routing route by considering availability and stability of route based on energy of mobile sensor nodes to increase lifetime of networks and route. The performance evaluation of the proposed routing protocol using OPNET shows that the routing method considering both route availability and route stability based on RF energy harvesting can increase efficiently route lifetime.

최근 자가 구성이 가능한 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크상에서 통신을 지원하기 위하여 DSR, AODV등 많은 On Demand 라우팅 프로토콜들이 제안되었다. 이들 라우팅 프로토콜들은 경로탐색과정에서 Route Request(RREQ) 패킷을 브로드캐스트하여 목적 노드로부터 Route Reply(RREP) 패킷을 받음으로써 라우팅 경로를 설정한다. 이때 경로탐색의 지연을 최소로 줄이고자 과거 경로탐색 정보 및 라우팅 정보를 경로캐쉬에 저장하여, 중간노드에서 RREP를 대신 보낼 수 있다. 이러한 캐쉬 기법은 간단하면서 매우 효율적인 방법이지만, 캐쉬 정보가 잘못된 경우 불필요한 지연을 일으킨다. 더욱이 캐쉬 정보를 이용할 경우, 특정 노드에게 보내는 데이터가 집중되는 문제가 발생하여 혼잡의 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 혼잡을 해결하고자 캐쉬 정보를 동적으로 관리하여, 혼잡의 원인이 되는 RREP를 억제하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 혼잡 임계값 및 파라미터를 정의한다. 마지막으로 실험을 통하여 네트워크 트래픽이 많을 경우 제안된 기법을 적용했을 때, 더 우수한 성능을 가짐을 보인다.

When there is uncertainty in topological rate of change, motility model and terrain condition, the performance severely degrades in MANET. The concept of transition of routing protocol on the fly according to the network parameters such as coverage, connectivity and mobility etc. may counterbalance the problems stated above. The mathematical modeling of feedback parameters has been derived, and the architecture for the multi-routing protocol system providing an adaptation from one routing protocol to another is also investigated. This paper is extensively devoted on the analysis of mobility, connectivity and their effects on the network and finally transition into another routing protocol according to them.

Time synchronization plays an important role in mobile communication systems, particularly, when an accurate time-division mechanism among the communication entities is required. We present a new time synchronization algorithm for a wireless mobile ad-hoc network assuming that communication link is managed by a time-slot reservation-based medium access control protocol. The central idea is to reduce time synchronization packet collisions by exploiting the advantages found in reference broadcasting. In addition, we adopt a sophisticated clock updating scheme to ensure the time synchronization convergence. To verify the performance of our algorithm, a set of network simulations has been performed under various mobile ad-hoc network scenarios using the OPNET. The results obtained from the simulations show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional TSF method in terms of synchronization accuracy and convergence time.

An advantage of the mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is that mobile nodes can self-organize the network topology without the help of network infrastructure. However, for the perfect self-organization of the MANET, each mobile node needs to self-configure its address. Even though a mobile node configures a unique address during the booting time, its address may conflict with nodes in other MANETs since MANETs containing the same address can be merged. The address autoconfiguration protocol implemented in this work consists of the strong DAD (Duplicate Address Detection) and the weak DAD. A unique address of a node is assigned by the strong DAD during the booting time and the weak DAD is used to detect address conflict and resolve address conflict during the ad hoc routing. In this work, we have implemented address autoconfiguration in the IPv6-based MANET using AODV as the routing protocol. We describe how the IPv6 address autoconfiguration is implemented and verify our implementation by showing the test scenarios on our testbed.
