The research on multipath routing has been studied to solve the problem of frequent path breakages due to node and link failures and to enhance data delivery reliability in wireless sensor networks. In the multipath routing, mobile sinks such as soldiers in battle fields and rescuers in disaster areas bring about new challenge for handling their mobility. The sink mobility requests new multipath construction from sources to mobile sinks according to their movement path. Since mobile sinks have continuous mobility, the existing multipath can be exploited to efficiently reconstruct to new positions of mobile sinks. However, the previous protocols do not address this issue. Thus, we proposed an efficient multipath reconstruction protocol called LGMR for mobile sinks in wireless sensor networks. The LGMR address three multipath reconstruction methods based on movement types of mobile sinks: a single hop movement-based local multipath reconstruction, a multiple hop movement-based local multipath reconstruction, and a multiple hop movement-based global multipath reconstruction. Simulation results showed that the LGMR has better performance than the previous protocol in terms of energy consumption and data delivery delay.

This paper introduces a guest identity provider system for eduroam which is a global Wi-Fi service targeting users enrolled in higher education and research institutions. Developed eduroam AND (AutheNtication Delegation) system enables users to create their eduroam user accounts and to access eduroam regardless of their locations. Users with no organizational eduroam account therefore can freely access eduroam using the system. A federated authentication model is implemented in the system, and thus the system has merits of having high accessibility, indirectly verifying users and organizations possible, saving management overhead. Status monitoring is essential because authentication request and response messages are routed by eduroam network. eduroam AND performs active monitoring to check service availability and visualizes the results, which increases operational and management efficiency. We leveraged open-source libraries to implement eduroam AND and run the system on KREONET (Korea REsearch Open NETwork). Lastly, we present implementation details and qualitively evaluate the system.

The unicasting routing technology of VANET is very important for user convenience. Unicasting packets must be forwarded to the appropriate path in order to arrive to the destination. However, there are so many problems because the vehicle nodes have limited information related to the routing decision. In particular, packet delivery failure will be occurred by selecting the path already failed again. We call this problem as 'Failed Path Re-Selection Problem'. In this paper, we propose an enhanced rerouting function of VANET Routing. The proposed rerouting function uses the failed path information when rerouting function executed. For this rerouting function, failed path information will be stored in the packet whenever the routing fail occurred. By the comparison with the performance of legacy VANET routing function, the superiority of the proposed method can be seen.

RT-eCos 3.0 is a micro-sized embedded real-time kernel that has been developed based on the open source eCos 3.0 to support the basic task model of the well-known distributed real-time object model, TMO(Time-Triggered Message-triggered Object). In this paper, the design and implementation techniques of the RMMC(Real-time Multicast & Memory replication Channel) that is a standard distributed IPC model of the TMO is described based on the RT-eCos 3.0. And the support technique of the global time for using the same time in a distributed environment using the RMMC is also described. The developed global time based RMMC supports highly abstracted distributed IPC environment in a wide area distributed computing environment with the RT-eCos 3.0.

In this study, we present a method for efficiently aggregating networks state information required to determine feasible paths in transport networks that uses the source routing algorithm for hierarchical QoS routing. It is proposed to transform the full mesh topology whose Service Boundary Line serves as its logical link into the star topology. This is an aggregation method that can be used when there are two or more QoS parameters for the link to be aggregated in an asymmetric network, and it improves the information accuracy of the star topology. For this purpose, the Service Boundary Line's 3 attributes, splitting, joining and integrating, are defined in this study, and they are used to present a topology transformation method. The proposed method is similar to space complexity and time complexity of other known techniques. But simulation results showed that aggregated information accuracy and query response accuracy is more highly than that of other known method.

In conventional cooperative communication data rate is 1/2 than non cooperative protocols. In this paper, we propose a full data rate DF (Decode and Forward) cooperative transmission scheme. Proposed scheme is based on time division multiplexing (TDM) channel access. When DF protocol has full data rate, it can not obtain diversity gain under the pairwise error probability (PEP) view point. If it increases time slot to obtain diversity gain, then data rate is reduced. The proposed algorithm uses orthogonal frequency and constellation rotation to obtain both full data rate and diversity order 2. Moreover, performance is analyzed according to distance and optimized components that affect the system performance by using computer simulation. The simulation results revealed that the cooperation can save the network power up to 7dB over direct transmission and 5dB over multi-hop transmission at BER of $10^{-2}$. Besides, it can improve date rate of system compared with the conventional DF protocol.

In this paper, we proposed a system protocol for detecting injurious insect to support energy saving transmission in wireless bio sensor networks. The main ideas and features of the system are as follows. First, the route establishment method which is based on the energy efficiency and stability by using time-division tree structure. Second, multi-hop direction-based data gatering structure. In this structure, the selected fading method is used to transmit packet via the established tree structure for supporting power saving and route lifetime efficiently. Finally, we can get the node power saving and reduce transmission delay, thus network lifetime and efficiency are improved. The performance evaluation of the proposed protocol is via OPNET(Optimized Network Engineering Tool).

Many dissemination protocols on the mobility support in wireless sensor networks have been designed based on the assumption that the movement trace of sinks, such as soldiers and fire fighters, is random. However, the mobility of the sinks in many applications, for example, the movement trace of a soldier on operation in a battle field, can be determined in advance. In this paper, we propose a Predictable Mobility-based Data Dissemination protocol that enables data to directly route from source nodes to moving sinks by taking into consideration predictable movement behavior of the sinks. We also show the superiority of the predictable mobility-based data dissemination protocol through the performance comparison with the random mobility-based data dissemination protocols.

Colored thread algorithm, suggested to be used for the label switching network, needs to be modified for the packet switching network. In this paper, it is recommended to add a merged state, besides the 3 states - null, colored and transparent - which are resulted from the behaviors of extend, rewind, stall, withdraw and merge events. The original colored thread algorithm is designed to generate a new thread and extend it to the downstream direction with unknown hop count when the thread has revisited the node that was visited. It also suggested rewinding the thread to the downstream direction by the source node, instead of rewinding it upstream direction by the revisited node. If a node received multiple threads which had a same forward equivalent class, then it checks first whether the hop counts are ascending or not. If it is in ascending order, then threads are merged. Otherwise the later thread is stalled until the former thread's color is to be changed to transparent or it is removed. This idea removes the effort of generating a new thread with unknown hop count.

As a data analysis tool which is becoming popular in the Big Data era, R is rapidly expanding its user range by providing powerful statistical analysis and data visualization functions. Major advantage of R is its functional scalability based on open source, but its scale scalability is limited, resulting in performance degrades in large data processing. RHadoop, one of the extension packages to complement it, can improve data analysis performance as it supports Hadoop platform-based distributed processing of programs written in R. In this paper, we evaluate the validity of RHadoop by evaluating the performance improvement of RHadoop in real medical big data analysis. Performance evaluation of the analysis of the medical history information, which is provided by National Health Insurance Service, using R and RHadoop shows that RHadoop cluster composed of 8 data nodes can improve performance up to 8 times compared with R.
