AODV 프로토콜은 최단경로 라우팅 기법, 에너지 효율, 빠른 지역 경로 복구 등을 위한 많은 알고리즘이 연구되어 왔다. AODV 프로토콜의 성능평가는 대부분 NS2 시뮬레이터를 통해 이루어지고 있으며, AODV의 성능개선을 위한 알고리즘의 적용은 NS2의 AODV 소스파일 변경을 통해 이루어진다. AODV 소스파일의 AODV 클래스가 아주 많은 역할을 하는 구조로 작성되어 있어 알고리즘의 적용이 쉽지 않고, 이로 인해 성능평가를 위한 시뮬레이션에 시간과 노력이 많이 들게 된다. 이를 위해 기존 소프트웨어를 재사용하고 유연성을 높일 수 있도록 소프트웨어의 리팩토링을 해주어야 한다. 리팩토링은 소프트웨어를 효율적이고 유지보수가 쉽도록 전환하는 과정이며, 소프트웨어의 재사용성을 높여주고 유연성을 제공해 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 AODV의 성능 개선을 위한 알고리즘 적용이 보다 유연해지도록 AODV 관련 클래스들에 대해 리팩토링을 수행한다.

Sensor nodes in wireless network have several limitations such as lack of energy resource and network bandwidth. There are many researches to extend lifetime of sensor network and enhance availability. However, most of the previous researches didn't consider the mobile sink node. Those researches aren't suitable in the environment having mobile sinks. In this paper. we propose a scheme that reduces communication overheads and energy consumptions and improves reliability in routing path setup. Proposed scheme has excellent scalability without degrading performance in environment where many sink nodes exist and/or the network size is huge. Proposed scheme saves the energy consumption up to 70% in comparison with the previous grid-based and cluster-based protocol. As a result, proposed scheme increases the lifetime of sensor network and enhances availability of wireless sensor network.

In this paper, we proposed the efficient addressing scheme for improving the performance of routing algorithm by using ZigBee in Smart Grid environment. A distributed address allocation scheme used an existing algorithm that has wasted in address space. Therefore proposing x, y and z coordinate axes from divided address space of 16 bit to solve this problems. Each node was reduced not only bitwise but also multi hop using the coordinate axes while routing than $Cskip$ algorithm. I compared the performance between the standard and the proposed mechanism through the numerical analysis. Simulation verified performance about decrease averaging multi hop count that compare proposing algorithm and another. The numerical analysis results show that proposed algorithm reduced the multi hop better than ZigBee distributed address assignmen.

The sensor nodes on the sensor network transmit the reply for the queries of ADV(Advertisement) message from sink node, and the sink node presents the received information to users. To find the relevant sensor nodes, routing algorithms disseminates ADV messages to the whole network. Thus not only the relevant sensor nodes but also the irrelevant ones consume considerable amount of energy. To alleviate such kind of energy consumption, this thesis proposes a new routing algorithm and coins it Directed Messaging. It propagates ADV message only to the limited direction and changes the direction until the requested sensor node is found. In this way, Directed Messaging reduces unnecessary energy consumption and enhance the efficiency of the networks. Performance of the Directed Messaging algorithm is evaluated through simulation and compared with Directed Diffusion algorithm. Simulation results show that it has better performance than Directed Diffusion.

As the growth of ubiquitous services, various types of ad hoc networks have emerged. In particular, wireless sensor networks (WSN) and mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are widely known ad hoc networks, but there are also other kinds of wireless ad hoc networks in which the characteristics of the aforementioned two network types are mixed together. This paper proposes a variant of the Low Energy Adaptive Cluster Hierarchy (LEACH) routing protocol modified to be suitable in such a combined network environment. That is, the proposed routing protocol provides node detection and route discovery/maintenance in a network with a large number of mobile sensor nodes, while preserving node mobility, network connectivity, and energy efficiency. The proposed routing protocol is implemented with a multi-hop multi-path algorithm, a topology reconfiguration technique using node movement estimation and vibration sensors, and an efficient path selection and data transmission technique for a great many moving nodes. In the experiments, the performance of the proposed protocol is demonstrated by comparing it to the conventional LEACH protocol.

Currently, there are many applications being developed based on sensor network technology. A tracking method for moving objects in sensor network is one of the main issue of this field. There is a little research on this issue, but most of the existing work has two problems. The first problem is a communication overhead for visiting sensor nodes many times to track a moving object. The second problem is an disability for dealing with many moving objects at a time. To resolve the problems, we, in this paper, propose a signature-based tracking method using efficient data aggregation for moving objects, called SigMO-TRK. For this, we first design a local routing hierarchy tree to aggregate moving objects' trajectories efficiently by using a space filtering technique. Secondly, we do the tracking of all trajectories of moving objects by using signature in a efficient way, our approach generates signatures to method. In addition, by extending the SigMO-TRK, we can retrieve the similar trajectories of moving objects for given a query. Finally, by using the TOSSIM simulator, we show that our signature-based tracking method outperforms the existing tracking method in terms of energy efficiency.

Recently, wireless sensor network(WSN) have been used in various fields to implement ubiquitous computing environment. WSN uses small, low cost and low power sensors in order to collect information from the sensor field. This paper proposes a clustering algorithm for energy efficiency of sensor nodes. The proposed algorithm is based on conventional LEACH, the representative clustering protocol for WSN and it prolongs network and nodes life time using sleep technique and changable transmission mode. The nodes of the proposed algorithm first calculate their clustering participation value based on the distance to the neighbor nodes. The nodes located in high density area will have clustering participation value and it can turn to sleep mode. Besides, proposed algorithm can change transmission method from conventional single-hop transmission to multi-hop transmission according to the energy level of cluster head. Simulation results show that the proposed clustering algorithm outperforms conventional LEACH, especially non-uniformly deployed network.

Clustering algorithm is an essential element to implement a hierarchical routing protocol, especially for a large-scale wireless sensor network. In this paper, we propose a new type of energy-efficient clustering algorithm, which maximizes the physical distance between cluster head and gateway by a neighbor node discovery mechanism. Furthermore, a slave/master patching scheme is introduced as a useful means of further improving the energy-efficiency. It has been shown that the number of cluster heads can be reduced by as many as 21% as compared with the existing clustering algorithms.

Wireless Sensor Networks have been rapidly developed due to the advances of sensor technology and are expected to be applied to various applications in many fields. In Wireless Sensor Networks, schemes for managing the network energy-efficiently are most important. For this purpose, there have been a variety of researches to suggest routing protocols. However, existing researches have ideal assumption that all sensor nodes have sensing data to transmit. In this paper, we designed and implemented a sensing-aware cluster selection algorithm based on LEACH-C for the sensor network in which part of sensors have sensing data. We also simulated proposed algorithm on several network situation and analyzed which situation is suitable for the algorithm. By the simulation result, selecting cluster head among the sensing nodes is most energy-efficient and the result shows application of sensing-awareness in cluster head selection when not all sensors have sensing data.

In recent years, many applications in WSN have increasingly interested in data transfer reliability. In this paper, we propose a dynamic grouping transfer mechanism which maintains both reliability and energy efficiency in transmission from a source to a sink. The proposed scheme considers channel error of each node. Then it uses an end-to-end ACK transmission in a group and a hop-by-hop ACK transmission between groups. Consequently this mechanism minimize the cost of packet transfer along with enhancing the network lifetime and reliability.
