Mobile portable devices for wireless network solely depend on a limited battery power. Therefore, we need to design for wireless communication protocols with an energy efficiency. TCP-Westwood is one of the most important approaches on TCP performance improvement in wireless environments that estimates the available bandwidth by using the sampling mechanism. The advantage is that data can be transmitted efficiently using the estimation of available bandwidth. However, when the sender with TCP-Westwood is in a wireless environment, it does not consider of the sampling mechanism operation. In this thesis, a new energy saving transport protocol, called E2TP(Energy Efficient Transport Protocol), is proposed to solve problems which occur when the sender with TCP-Westwood is in a wireless environment. Also, when there are packet loss while doing frequent link error in a wireless environment, E2TP provides the instantaneous segment size adjustment for a more efficient data retransmission. The simulation result proves that the proposed E2TP has better performance in energy efficiency and throughput than both TCP and TCP-Westwood.

무선이동기기의 에너지 소모를 줄이기 위해서는 무선인터페이스의 전력소모를 최대한 줄이는 것이 중요하다. 대표적인 무선통신인 IEEE 802.11 표준에서는 무선인터페이스를 수면모드로 전환하는 전력절약모드(PSM, Power Save Mode)를 정의하고 있다 그러나 수면모드로 동작하는 도중에는 데이터를 수신할 수 없으므로 전력절약과 전송지연 사이에서 조정(trade-off)을 하여야 한다. HTTP와 같이 요청-응답을 기본으로 하는 통신 응용에서는 요청 발생 후 응답이 도착할 때까지 걸리는 시간을 노드의 수면시간에 반영하면 데이터의 수신이 지연되는 문제를 완화하면서 전력절약을 할 수 있으며, 기존 연구들도 이에 착안하는 기법을 제안하고 있다. 그러나 기존 연구들은 HTTP통신이 다중적으로 발생하면 그 효과는 사라지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 제안된 기법이 갖는 문제점을 분석하고 이를 완화하기위해 응답시간 지연비율을 적용한 지연수면(Delayed Sleep) 스케줄링 기법을 제안하며 시뮬레이션을 통해 이를 검증하였다.

Sensor nodes are easily compromised by attacker when which are divided in open environment. The attacker may inject false report and false vote attack through compromised sensor node. These attacks interrupt to transmission legitimate report or the energy of sensor node is exhausted. PVFS are proposed by Li and Wu for countermeasure in two attacks. The scheme use inefficiency to energy of sensor node as fixed report threshold and verification node. In this paper, our propose the next neighbor node selection scheme based on fuzzy logic system for energy improvement of PVFS. The parameter of fuzzy logic system are energy, hops, verification success count, CH select high the next neighbor node among neighbor nodes of two as deduction based on fuzzy logic system. In the experimental, our proposed scheme was improvement to energy of about 9% compare to PVFS.

Acoustic target classification in wireless sensor network is important research at environmental surveillance, invasion surveillance, multiple target separation. General sensor node signal processing methods concentrated on received signal energy based target detection and received raw signal compression. The former is not suited to target classification because of almost every target information are lost except target energy. The latter bring down life-time of sensor node owing to high computational complexity and transmission energy. In this paper, we introduce an feature extraction algorithm for acoustic target classification in wireless sensor network which has time and frequency information. The proposed method extracts time information and de-noised target classification information using wavelet decomposition step. This method reduces communication energy by 28% of original signal and computational complexity.

In recent years, the needs for WLANs(Wireless Local Area Networks) technology which can access to Internet anywhere have been dramatically increased particularly in SOHO(Small Office Home Office) and Hot Spot. However, unlike wired networks, there are some unique characteristics of wireless networks. These characteristics include the burst packet losses due to unreliable wireless channel. Note that burst packet losses, which occur when the distance between the wireless station and the AP(Access Point) increase or when obstacles move temporarily between the station and AP, are very frequent in 802.11 networks. Conversely, due to burst packet losses, the performance of 802.11 networks are not always as sufficient as the current application require, particularly when they use TCP at the transport layer. The high packet loss rate over wireless links can trigger unnecessary execution of TCP congestion control algorithm, resulting in performance degradation. In order to overcome the limitations of WLANs environment, MAC-layer LDA(Loss Differentiation Algorithm)has been proposed. MAC-layer LDA prevents TCP's timeout by increasing CRD(Consecutive Retry Duration) higher than burst packet loss duration. However, in the wireless channel with high packet loss rate, MAC-layer LDA does not work well because of two reason: (a) If the CRD is lower than burst packet loss duration due to the limited increase of retry limit, end-to-end performance is degraded. (b) energy of mobile device and bandwidth utilization in the wireless link are wasted unnecessarily by Reducing the drainage speed of the network buffer due to the increase of CRD. In this paper, we propose a new retransmission module based on Cross-layer approach, called BLD(Burst Loss Detection) module, to solve the limitation of previous link layer retransmission schemes. BLD module's algorithm is retransmission mechanism at IEEE 802.11 networks and performs retransmission based on the interaction between retransmission mechanisms of the MAC layer and TCP. From the simulation by using ns-2(Network Simulator), we could see more improved TCP throughput and energy efficiency with the proposed scheme than previous mechanisms.

In contrast with battery-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs), solar-powered WSNs can operate for a longtime assuming that there is no hardware fault. Meanwhile, a mobile sink can save the energy consumption of WSN, but its ineffective movement may incur so much energy waste of not only itself but also an entire network. To solve this problem, many approaches, in which a mobile sink visits only on clustering-head nodes, have been proposed. But, the clustering scheme also has its own problems such as energy imbalance and data instability. In this study, therefore, a cluster-based energy-aware data-sharing scheme (CE-DSS) is proposed to effectively support a mobile sink in a solar-powered WSN. By utilizing the redundant energy efficiently, CE-DSS shares the gathered data among cluster-heads, while minimizing the unexpected black-out time. The simulation results show that CE-DSS increases the data reliability as well as conserves the energy of the mobile sink.

무선 센서 네트워크(WSN)는 소규모, 저비용, 저전력 지능형의 센서 노드로 구성되고, 원격 환경 감시와 군사작전 및 재난 상황 등에 응용 될 수 있는 기술이다. 이러한 센서 네트워크에서 구성된 노드의 에너지 공급은 독립된 소형배터리를 통해 이루어진다. 따라서 각 노드에서의 에너지의 효율적인 관리가 무선 센서 네트워크의 최대 쟁점이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 노드의 제한된 배터리 자원을 보다 효율적으로 유지 관리하기 위한 방법으로 ASIT(Advanced Sensing Interval Time) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 ASIT란 입력된 센싱 값의 변화와 센서 노드의 에너지 잔여량에 따라 센싱 주기를 제어 관리하는 방법으로 이에 대한 모델링을 수립하고, 실제 노드 관리 결과와 모델링 된 결과의 오차를 관찰하여 적중율을 향상하는 기법을 제안한 것이다. 제안된 ASIT의 알고리즘으로부터 센서 노드의 수명을 향상 시켜 궁극적으로는 무선 센서 네트워크 전체의 망 접속의 신뢰성과 노드 관리 수명을 연장시키며, 망의 토폴로지 구성의 측면에서는 전체적인 영역의 커버리지를 향상시키는 동시에 제한된 배터리 자원을 효율적으로 관리 할 수 있는 걸과를 얻게 된다.

IEEE 802.15.6 standard, a Wireless Body Area Network, aims to transfer not only medical data but also non-medical data, such as physical activity, streaming, multimedia game, living information, and entertainment. Services which transfer those data have very various data rates, intervals and frequencies of continuous access to a medium. Therefore, an efficient anti-collision operations and medium assigning operation have to be carried out when multiple nodes with different data rates are accessing shared medium. IEEE 802.15.6 standard for CSMA/CA medium access control method distributes access to the shared medium, transmits a control packet to avoid collision and checks status of the channel. This method is energy inefficient and causes overhead. These disadvantages conflict with the low power, low cost calculation requirement of wireless body area network, shall minimize such overhead for efficient wireless body area network operations. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a medium access scheduling scheme, which adjusts the time interval for accessing to the shared transmission medium according to the amount of data for generating respective sensor node, and a priority control algorithm, which temporarily adjusts the priority of the sensor node that causes transmission concession due to the data priority until next successful transmission to ensure fairness.

Generally, GIS digital map has been represented and transmitted by ASCII and Binary data forms. Among these forms, Binary form has been widely used in many GIS application fields for the transmission of mass map data. In this paper, we present a hierarchical compression technique of polyline and polygon components for effective storage and transmission of vector map with various degree of decision. These components are core geometric components that represent main layers in vector map. The proposed technique performs firstly the energy compaction of all polyline and polygon components in spatial domain for the lossless compression of detailed vector map and compress independently integer parts and fraction parts of 64bit floating points. From experimental results, we confirmed that the proposed technique has superior compressive performance to the conventional data compression of 7z, zip, rar and gz.
