In general, routing algorithms that were applied to ad-hoc networks are not suitable for the environment with many nodes over several thousands. To solve this problem, hierarchical management to these nodes and clustering-based protocols for the stable maintenance of topology are used. In this paper, we propose the clustering-based modified LEACH protocol that can applied to an environment which moves around metal containers within communication nodes. In proposed protocol, we implemented a module for detecting the movement of nodes on the clustering-based LEACH protocol and improved the defect of LEACH in an environment with movable nodes. And we showed the possibility of the effective communication by adjusting the configuration method of multi-hop. We also compared the proposed protocol with LEACH in four points of view, which are a gradual network composition time, a reconfiguration time of a topology, a success ratio of communication on an containers environment, and routing overheads. And to conclude, we verified that the proposed protocol is better than original LEACH protocol in the metal containers environment within communication of nodes.

Geocasting is a form of communication that transmits messages to all nodes within a given geographical region(i.e., the geocasting region). Most of conventional onery aware protocols were based on shortest-hop routing that is, they minimized the cost in terms of the distance and total transmission energy not considering both the residual energy at each node and the link error ratio when selecting the routes for communication. In this paper we propose a MLRG(Maximum Lifetime Reliable Geocast) protocol for energy-efficient and reliable geocasting in Ad-hoc networks. The proposed MLRG, a position-based and routing-based geocasting algorithm, maximizes the network lifetime using newly defined cost function and selecting the energy balanced routes on the basis of each node's residual energy, and provides a reliable communication considering the link error ratio.

본 논문에서는 거리정보에 기반을 두지 않은 방식(range-free)에서 라우팅 에너지 효율성을 고려한 ALPS(Ad hoc network Localized Positioning System) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 관련하여 기존의 대표적인 관련 연구로는 DV-Hop 알고리즘이 있다. 이는 앵커 노드와 앵커 노드사이의 미지 노드들의 거리를 홉 수로 나누어 노드 사이의 거리를 구하고 삼각측량법을 이용하여 노드의 좌표를 계산한다. 하지만 이 경우 앵커 노드와 미지노드 사이의 거리를 홉 수로 나눈 한 홉 거리가 모두 동일하다고 가정하였고, 이에 사용되는 앵커노드간의 평균 거리를 사용하여 노드간의 거리정보를 구하게 되어 각 중계노드는 고정된 경로에서만 거리 정보를 알 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안되는 ALPS 알고리즘은 계층적 클러스터 단위에 소속된 임의의 노드에 대한 위치정보를 제공하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘에 따른 위치정보를 사용 할 경우 기존의 DV-hop방식에 따른 노드의 위치정보를 사용한 경우보다 보다 최적화된 에너지 소모를 유지할 수 있는 경로 알고리즘을 최종적으로 제공하는데 연구의 목적이 있다. 본 논문에서는 상기 두 가지 방식의 위치정보에 따른 라우팅에서 소모되는 에너지 관계를 비교하여 보다 최적화된 에너지 경로 알고리즘이 제공되는 결과를 검증하고 보여주고자 한다.

In these days, the use of context in application running on mobile devices such as PDAs and smart Phone has become a crucial requirement for several research areas, including ubiquitous computing. mobile computing. Previous middlewares which support context provisioning uses single strategy. But, this paper proposed middleware integrated multiple strategies for context provisioning, namely internal sensors-based, external infrastructure-based, and distributed provisioning in ad hoc networks. Applications can query needed context items using SQL like context query language and require context information to use different provisioning mechanisms depending on resource availability and presence of external infrastructures.

In this paper, we are proposed ECOPS(Energy Conserving optimal Path Schedule) algorithm that according to ALPS(Ad hoc network Localized Positioning System) algorithm the location information is received and the new head node is selected considering the energy efficiency. The proposed algorithm follows RODMRP(Resilient Ontology-based Dynamic Multicast Routing Protocol) structure, that is the hierarchic cluster structure. And by using the location information of the node, it maintains the cluster which the energy is efficient with the production. It increases the life time of the total routing structure.

The development of USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technology is creating numerous application areas. Although a network configuration with fixed sensors was the norm in the past, the coexistence of mobile and fixed sensor nodes is a new trend. Fixed sensor networks focused on the energy efficiency of nodes, but the latest studies consider guaranteeing the mobility of nodes and maintaining their connectivity, while remaining energy efficient at the same time. This paper proposes a routing protocol for a mobile ad-hoc sensor network that improves the mobility, connectivity and energy efficiency of nodes while allowing for the management and maintenance of a large number of nodes even in a complex communication environment where mobile and fixed nodes coexist. An algorithm for multi-hop multi-paths, a technique for topology reconfiguration by node movement prediction and vibration sensors, path setting for a large number of nodes, and efficient data transfer technology have been introduced to implement the modified LEAHC-AOMDV protocol. Furthermore, the excellence of this protocol was verified through a comparative experiment with the conventional LEACH protocol.

The shortest path is only maintained during short time because network topology changes very frequently and each mobile nodes communicate each other by depending on battery in MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc Network). So many researches that are to overcome a limitation or consider a power have executed actively by many researcher. But these protocols are considered only one side of link stability or power consumption so we can make high of stability but power consumption isn't efficient. And also we can reduce power consumption of network but the protocol can't make power consumption of balancing. For that reason we suggest RBSSPR(Residual Battery Capacity and Signal Strength Based Power-aware Routing Protocol in MANET). The RBSSPR considers residual capacity of battery and signal strength so it keeps not only a load balancing but also minimizing of power consumption. The RBSSPR is based on AODV(Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing). We use ns-2 for simulation. This simulation result shows that RBSSPR can extense lifetime of network through distribution of traffic that is centralized into special node and reducing of power consumption.

Recent researches on radio frequency energy harvesting networks(RF-EHNs) with limited energy resource like battery have been focusing on the development of a new scheme that can effectively extend the whole lifetime of a network to semipermanent. In order for considerable increase both in the amount of energy obtained from radio frequency energy harvesting and its charging effectiveness, it is very important to design a network that supports energy harvesting and data transfer simultaneously with the full consideration of various characteristics affecting the performance of a RF-EHN. In this paper, we proposes an interference-based charging aware routing protocol(ICARP) that utilizes interference information and charging time to maximize the amount of energy harvesting and to minimize the end-to-end delay from a source to the given destination node. To accomplish the research objectives, this paper gives a design of ICARP adopting new network metrics such as interference information and charging time to minimize end-to-end delay in energy harvesting wireless networks. The proposed method enables a RF-EHN to reduce the number of packet losses and retransmissions significantly for better energy consumption. Finally, simulation results show that the network performance in the aspects of packet transmission rate and end-to-end delay has enhanced with the comparison of existing routing protocols.

The development of wireless sensor networks (WSN) can be motivated by several types of applications. However, these applications demand an energy-efficient WSN that can prolong the network lifetime and can provide high throughput, low latency and delay. Designing wireless sensor networks with the capability of prolonging network lifetime catch the attention of many researchers in wireless system and network field. Contrasts with Mobile Ad Hoc Network system, Wireless Sensor Networks designs focused more on survivability of each node in the network instead of maximizing data throughput or minimizing end-to-end delay. In this paper, we will study part of data link layer in Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, called medium access control (MAC) layer. Since the MAC development of energy aware MAC Protocol for wireless sensor layer controls the physical radio part, it has a large impact on the overall energy consumption and the lifetime of a node. This paper proposes a analytical approach that tries to reduce idle energy consumption, and shows the increasement of network end-to-end arrival rate due to efficiency in energy consumption from time slot management.

MANET and P2P applications have a common nature that they don't have any fixed infrastructures that might maintain network topologies. With such common characteristics, a P2P application can be a killer application over MANET. Due to absence of reliable node which serves indexing services in MANET, fully distributed P2P applications are more suitable for MANET. By using DHT like Chord, we can save network bandwidth and avoid a point of failure of a directory server. However, since MANET allows nodes to depart from network freely, P2P file sharing applications using Chord lookup protocol should address how to recover the keys stored at the departed node. In this paper, we propose BU-Chord in order to detect and recover the departure of nodes by creating and storing backup file information in distributed manner. Our BU-Chord shows off better performance than existing Chord especially in case of high departure rate of nodes.
