In this paper, we present a network-oriented lightweight real-time system, which is composed of an event-driven operating system called the Embedded Lightweight Operating System (ELOS) and a generic multi hop ad hoc routing protocol suite. In the ELOS, a conditional preemptive FCFS scheduling method with a guaranteed time slot is designed for efficient real-time processing. For more elaborate configurations, we reinforce fault tolerance by supplementing semi-auto configuration using wireless agent nodes. The developed hardware platform is also introduced, which is a scalable prototype constructed using off-the-shelf components. In addition, in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, we developed a ubiquitous network test-bed on which several experiments with respect to various environments are conducted. The results show that the ELOS is considerably favorable for tiny ubiquitous networked systems with real-time constraints.

Ad hoc wireless networks operate without any infrastructure where a node can be a source and a router at the same time. This indispensably requires high throughput and low delay performance throughout the wireless network coverage span, particularly under heavy traffic conditions. Recent research on using multiple antennas in beam-forming or multiplexing modes over a wireless channel has shown promising results in terms of high throughput and low delay. Directional antennas have shown to increase spatial reuse by allowing multiple transmitters and receivers to communicate using. directional beams as long as they do not significantly interfere with each other. However directional antenna performance asymptotically approaches the omni-directional performance in a high density ad hoc network. Simulation results in QualNet validate that average throughput and packet corruption ratio of directional antenna approach omni-directional performance. Moreover, we further highlight some important issues pertaining to the directional antenna performance in wireless networks.

In mobile ad hoc networks the most popular on demand routing protocols are the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol and the Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. These and other representative standard routing protocols are designed to find and maintain only a single path. Whenever there is a link break on the active route, source node has to invoke a route discovery process from the beginning and it causes a lot of overhead. Multipath routing protocols, which can alleviate these problems by establishing multiple alternative paths between a source and a destination, are widely studied. In this paper we propose a node disjoint multipath discovery technique based on AODV local route discovery. This technique can find and build completely separated node disjoint multi paths from a source to a destination as many as possible. It will make routing more robust and stable.

In this paper, we propose a novel Vehicular Ad-hoc Network(VANET) which includes communication and ranging features, using Spread Spectrum(SS) multi-carrier modulation scheme. In existing methods, a spread spectrum technique was used to communicate with other vehicles and raging was possible by detecting phase difference between transmission/reception of the PN signal. However, the use of high-speed PN signals is mandatory to detect possible errors of phase difference and to increase the analysis capacity. In the proposed system, multi-carrier modulation scheme was used as solution of mentioned problem. The multi-carrier modulation scheme uses smaller PN signal and chip-rate than the single-carrier modulation, so it is possible to send multiple carrier waves using the same frequency range. This technique (multiple carrier waves) allows to have the Equal Gain Combing (EGC) diversity effect, providing better result in phase difference error detection and raging accuracy.

The emergency between vehicles on the superhighway should be transmitted quickly to the following vehicles for safety of people. The message between them has been transmitted by broadcast method in an wireless environment of 802.11, so far. That causes the broadcast storm and a waste of the bandwidth of Wireless network owing to unnecessary process of sending messages to even vehicles that do not have to receive the information. The message collision is a main cause of the increase of message delay. In order to overcome the existing problem, this paper proposed a message broadcast scheme based on cell (MBC), which is the way to divide cars into different groups by cell unit and transmit messages to the members of the groups through the cell primary (cp) vehicles. This paper shows the proposed broadcast's performance in the same environment is much superior to other conventional broadcast schems for inter-vehicle communication, since the receiving ratio among the following vehicles is improved.

In this paper, we propose a discovery protocol for finding nearby mobile applications and services in a device-to-device communications system. The device-to-device communication technology enables proximity-based services such as mobile social networks and mobile marketing. For realizing these proximity-based services, it is essential to design a discovery protocol which pinpoints the devices with mobile applications of interest among hundreds and thousands of devices in proximity. In the infrastructure-less networks such as ad hoc networks, we can design the discovery protocol that periodically broadcasts a short discovery code containing the compressed information of the mobile applications. In this paper, we design the discovery protocol with the discovery code generated by using a hash function and a Bloom filter. We also mathematically analyze the performance of the proposed protocol.

VANET is ad-hoc network in which vehicles are treated as node and these nodes are communicating with each other as well as RSUs on the road. In VANET, scheduling is a very important issue as the request data are to be delivered to the recipient vehicle properly and accurately. It is also critical that any request data which is sent to the vehicle is received by it in the time period for which the vehicle will be in range of RSU. RSU picks the one with the highest priority to serve based on the scheduling scheme. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm to select the one with the highest priority in RSU, in which an RSU can transfer the overload requests to other RSUs. We use the modified DBP scheme to calculate the priority of request data. Simulation results show that our scheme outperforms other scheduling schemes under various conditions.

In Vehicle Safety Communication (VSC), noted as a representative application of VANET technologies, emergency warning messages (EWM) are broadcast over vehicles in response to an emergency situation. However, as the number of vehicles increases, the so-called Broadcast Storm Problem often occurs due to a huge number of redundant EWM transmitted. Though many approaches in the literature have been proposed to solve the problem, most of them require the preliminary phase for setting up or refreshing neighbor relationship through exchanging beacon messages with nearby vehicles, thereby further increasing the traffic load. In this paper, we propose Longest Leaping Relay (LLR) scheme which can efficiently solve the Broadcast Storm Problem without any preliminary phase for setting up neighbor relationship. Through computer simulations, we compared the performance of the proposed scheme with competitive schemes and verified the proposed scheme outperforms the existing schemes.

The intrusion detection system is one of the active fields of research in wireless networks. Intrusion detection in wireless mobile Ad hoc network is challenging because the network topologies is dynamic, lack centralization and are vulnerable to attacks. This paper is about the effective enhancement of the IDS technique that is being implemented in the mobile ad hoc network and deals with security and vulnerabilities issues which results in the better performance and detection of the intrusion.

차량네트워크(VANET)는 이동형 에드 혹 네트워크의 가장 유망한 응용환경으로 인식되어 지고 있다. 특히, 차량간의 안전주행 통신인 V2V의 경우 운전자의 안전을 위한 통신기술로 주목받고 있다. 안전주행을 위해서 V2V에서 송수신되는 메시지는 다양한 네트워크 공격을 막기 위해서 반드시 인증이 되어야 하는 반면 운전자의 위치 프라이버시를 보호하기 위해서는 익명성이 보장되어야 한다. 이러한 보안 속성은 V2V 통신만의 고유한 성질로써, 현재 인증과 프라이버시를 동시에 보장하기 위한 인증기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 고에서는 프라이버시를 보장하는 V2V 인증 프로트콜들을 분석하고 보안 및 효율성 관점에서 각 프로트콜을 비교분석한다.
