무선 Ad-Hoc 네트워크는 노드의 참여와 이탈이 자유롭고 토폴로지의 변화가 많아 악의적인 노드에 의해 데이터의 무결성 및 기밀성 문제와 같은 보안 위협에 노출되어 있다. 또한 악의적인 노드의 참여로 잘못된 라우팅 정보의 삽입을 통해 네트워크 분할이나 잘못된 정보전달 제공으로 노드의 통신장애를 유발할 수 있다. 그러나 현재 이와 같은 무선 Ad-Hoc 네트워크에서의 악의적인 노드를 발견하고 대응할 수 있는 연구가 부족하며, 기존의 악의적인 노드 탐지 기술들[11][12][13][14]은 정상적인 노드임에도 불구하고 거짓으로 신고했을 경우 인증절차 없이 경로를 재탐색하여 최적의 경로를 변경시킴으로서 정상적인 전송환경을 구축하지 못하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중경로 기반의 보안경로 탐색기술[8]을 이용해 보안경로에 존재하는 중간노드들 사이에서 악의적인 노드를 발견한고, 검증된 최단경로를 통해 데이터전송을 하는 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 기법을 적용함으로써 노드에 대한 신고가 있을 때 확인과정을 거쳐 불필요하게 경로를 재탐색하는 과정을 줄일 수 있다.

VANET (Vehicular Ad hoc NETwork) is one of the special cases of the ad hoc networks in which car nodes communicate with each other and/or with RSUs (Road Side Unit) in order for the drivers to receive nearby road traffic information as well as for the passengers to retrieve nearby gas price or hotel information. In case of constructing VANET over CCN, users do not need to specify a destination server address rather to input a key word such as nearby congestion in order to gather surrounding traffic congestion information. Furthermore, each car node caches its retrieved data for forwarding other nodes when requested. In addition, the data transmission is inherently multicast, which implies fast data propagation to the participating car nodes. This paper measures and evaluates the data transmission performance of the VCCN (VANET over CCN) in which nodes are equipped with diverse wireless communication channels. The simulation result indicates that 802.11a shows the best performance of the data transmission against other wireless channels. Moreover, it indicates that VCCN improves overall data transmission and provides benefit to the nodes that request the same traffic information by exploiting inherent multicast communication.

With the rapid proliferation of wireless networks and mobile computing applications, the landscape of the network security has greatly changed recently. Especially, Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks maintaining network topology with vehicle nodes of high mobility are self-organizing Peer-to-Peer networks that typically have short-lasting and unstable communication links. VANETs are formed with neither fixed infrastructure, centralized administration, nor dedicated routing equipment, and vehicle nodes are moving, joining and leaving the network with very high speed over time. So, VANET-security is very vulnerable for the intrusion of malicious and misbehaving nodes in the network, since VANETs are mostly open networks, allowing everyone connection without centralized control. In this paper, we propose a weighted intrusion detection method using rough set that can identify malicious behavior of vehicle node's activity and detect intrusions efficiently in VANETs. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated by a simulation study in terms of intrusion detection rate and false alarm rate for the threshold of deviation number ${\epsilon}$.

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an infrastructureless network that supports multi-hop communication. For the MANET nodes wishing to communicate with nodes in the wired Internet, the global Internet connectivity is required and this functionality can be achieved with the help of the Internet gateway. For the support of reliability and flexibility, multiple Internet gateways can be provisioned for a MANET. In this case, load-balancing becomes one of the important issues since the network performance such as the network throughput can be improved if the loads of the gateways are well-balanced. In this paper, we categorize the load-balancing mechanisms and propose a new metric for load-balancing. Simulation results show that our proposed mechanism using the hop distance and the number of routing table entries as a load-balancing metric enhances the overall network throughput.

Advances in smart sensors, embedded systems, low-power design, ad-hoc networks and MEMS have allowed the development of low-cost small sensor nodes with computation and wireless communication capabilities that can form distributed wireless sensor networks. Time information and time synchronization are fundamental building blocks in wireless sensor networks since many sensor network applications need time information for object tracking, consistent state updates, duplicate detection and temporal order delivery. Various time synchronization protocols have been proposed for sensor networks because of the characteristics of sensor networks which have limited computing power and resources. However, none of these protocols have been designed with time representation scheme in mind. Global time format such as UTC TOD (Universal Time Coordinated, Time Of Day) is very useful in sensor network applications. In this paper we propose network time protocol extension for global time presentation in wireless sensor networks.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been investigated as an enabling technology for future wireless communications such as ad hoc, mesh and sensor networks. However, prior works on bit-loading lack consideration of the constraints on energy and computing facility in sensor networks. In this paper, we suggest an adaptive bit allocation algorithm for a frequency selective fading channel environment which exploits channel state information obtained through a feedback channel. The proposed algorithm significantly reduces computational complexity and satisfies the power budget. Also, its throughput is comparable to the optimum solution. Simulation results support the claim stated.

A sensor network is composed of a large number of sensor nodes which have sensing, computation and wireless communication capabilities. The sensor node sends such collected data, usually via radio transmitter, to a command center (sink) either directly or through a data concentration center (a gateway). These sensor networks can be used for various application areas such as health, military, home network, managing inventory, monitoring disaster areas and so on. Moreover, owing to the rapid growth of mobile technology, high-performance smartphones are widespread and in increasing cases are utilized as a terminal device. In this paper, we propose a home management system using smartphone and sensor networks.

Ad-hoc networks can be used various environment, which it is difficult to construct infrastructures, such as shadowing areas, disaster areas, war area, and so on. In order to support to considerable and various wireless services, more spectrum resources are needed. However, efficient utilization of the frequency resource is difficult because of spectrum scarcity and the conventional frequency regulation. Ad-hoc networks employing cognitive radio (CR) system that guarantee high spectrum utilization provide effective way to increase the network capacity. In CR based wireless ad-hoc networks, cluster-head decides the existence of primary user using sensing information of primary user from each ad-hoc device. However, it is still defective research to decide cluster head among the a lot of ad-hoc devices. So, in this paper, we show the decision method of cluster head in CR based wireless and detection probabilities of primary user based on decision method of cluster head.

This paper proposes a method for selecting efficient relay nodes in stochastic DTN model. Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) uses the Carry and Forward method, which creates a bundle layer for efficient communication, selects relay nodes between different networks and heterogeneous networks, and forwards messages. DTN is basically composed of mobile nodes so DTN has no fixed routing route and it has long latency due to intermittent connection. Therefore, the nodes constituting the DTN necessarily have the characteristics to store the messages, and the capacity of the stored messages and nodes affects the performance of the network. Stochastic DTN model proposed a Markov model that changes randomly over time to analyze the performance of DTN. In this paper, we use stochastic message distribution and node contact probabilities using contact time analyzed through message generation and extinction in order to select efficient relay nodes in stochastic DTN model.
