고정된 망을 가지지 않고, 이동 호스트로만 이루어져 통신되는 망인 Ad-hoc 네트워크에서 고속으로 이동 중인 차량들 간의 긴급한 정보를 주고받아 고속도로에서의 다중 충돌사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있는 차량 통신 프로토콜을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 도로위의 차량들은 서로 연계성이 없기 때문에 위치추적시스템인 GPS에서 수신한 거리 값을 연계하여 클러스터를 구성한다. 클러스터를 IEEE 802.11 MAC 계층에서 구성하기 때문에 경로 설정으로 인한 과부하문제를 해소 하였다. 논문에서 제안한 액티브 네트워크 기반의 멀티 홉 라우팅 프로토콜은, Active 네트워크를 이용하여 안정된 통신이 이루어 질수 있도록 한다.

Most existing clustering protocols have been aimed to provide balancing the residual energy of each node and maximizing life-time of wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we present the adaptive clustering strategy related to sink position for clustering protocols in wireless sensor networks. This protocol allows networks topology to be adaptive to the change of the sink position by using symmetrical clustering strategy that restricts the growth of clusters based on depth of the tree. In addition, it also guarantees each cluster the equal life-time, which may be extended compared with the existing clustering protocols. We evaluated the performance of our clustering scheme comparing to LEACH and EEUC, and observe that our protocol is observed to outperform existing protocols in terms of energy consumption and longevity of the network.

Maintaining efficient energy consumption and elongating network lifetime are the key issues in wireless sensor networks. Existing routing protocols usually select the cluster heads based on the proximity to the sensor nodes. In this case the cluster heads can be placed farther to the base station, than the distance between the sensor nodes and the base station, which yields inefficient energy consumption. In this work we propose a novel algorithm that select the nodes in a cluster and the cluster heads based on the locations of related nodes. We verify that the proposed algorithm gives better performance in terms of network life time than existing solutions.

센서 기술과 통신 기술의 발달로 센서 네트워크에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 센서 노드는 주변환경을 관찰하고 그 결과를 센서 노드로 이루어진 네트워크를 통하여 사용자에게 전달한다. 센서 네트워크는 특정 기반 구조 없이 수행되어야 하기 때문에 데이터의 전달이 애드혹 네트워크에서의 라우팅 기법과 비슷하다. 하지만 센서 노드는 배터리 전력량에 의하여 수명이 결정되기 때문에 전력 소비를 줄이는 것이 매우 중요한 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 센서 노드의 위치에 따라 통신 상태를 유휴(idle) 상태에서 정지(sleep)상태로 변경하는 방법으로 전력 소비를 줄이는 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다.

Wireless sensor networks are composed of a lot of sensor nodes and they are used to monitor environments. Since many studies on wireless sensor networks have considered a stationary sink node, they cannot provide fully ubiquitous applications based on a mobile sink node. In those applications, routing paths for a mobile sink node should be updated while a sink node moves in order to deliver sensor data without data loss. In this paper, we propose a method to continuously update routing paths for a mobile sink node which can be extended on hierarchical multi-hop routing protocols in wireless sensor networks. The efficiency of the proposed scheme has been validated through comparing existing method using a location based routing protocol by extensive computer simulation.

GPSR은 차량간 ad hoc 네트워크에서 위치기반 라우팅을 위하여 개발된 알고리즘이다. GPSR에서의 라우팅은 Greedy Forwarding을 사용하지만 차량 밀도가 높은 VANET환경에서는 한계가 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 새로운 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 본 논문에 제시된 기법은 밀도가 높은 환경과 밀도가 낮은 환경에서의 가중치를 설정하여 current node, next-hop node 그리고 destination node 간의 관계를 반영한 값들을 구하고 그 중에서 최소치 값을 가지는 next-hop을 선택한다. 특히 가중치를 기반으로 하면 차량이 밀집되거나 희박한 환경하에서 GPSR 보다 더 최적화된 경로를 찾아낸다. 성능평가는 수학적 모델과 네트워크 시뮬레이터인 NS를 이용하여 본 모델에 기반한 고속도로 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. 결과적으로 볼 때, 본 논문에 제시된 기법은 시간 지연 측면에서 GPSR보다 나은 결과를 보여 주었다.

MANET is not suitable to be applied to vehicle environments because of frequent path loss and path re-routing. To solve these problem, It is known that location-based routing protocol VANET is efficient. But, the VANET algorithm does not consider urban environments due to frequent vehicle movement and jamming by tall building. In this paper, we propose an efficient routing protocol to improve transfer efficiency and reduce transfer hop count. in urban networks.

In this paper, we propose a location based multicast routing protocol, called Geomulticast, in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks. The main features and contributions of the proposed geomulticast are as follows. First, support data transmission to only the specific mobile nodes within a target area. Second, establish stable routing route by using mobility information of nodes. Third, reduce control overhead, power for construction of routing route by using geomulticast guided line information. Fourth, present a theoretical model for establishing stable route. The performance evaluation of the proposed geomulticast is executed by using OPNET simulation and theoretical analysis, and the results of simulation and theoretical analysis have similar patterns. And we can see that data packets are efficiently transmitted to specific user groups within a specific area.

Rapid technological advances in the area of micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) have spurred the development of small inexpensive sensors capable of intelligent sensing. A significant amount of research has been done in the area of connecting large numbers of these sensors to create robust and scalable Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The resource scarcity, ad-hoc deployment, and immense scale of WSNs make secure communication a particularly challenging problem. Since the primary consideration for sensor networks is energy efficiency, security schemes must balance their security features against the communication and computational overhead required to implement them. In this paper, we combine location information and probability to create a new security aware multipath geographic routing protocol. The implemented result in network simulator (ns-2) showed that our protocol has a better performance under attacks.

Greedy routing which is easy to apply to geographic wireless sensor networks is frequently used. Greedy routing works well in dense networks whereas in sparse networks it may fail. When greedy routing fails, it needs a recovery algorithm to get out of the communication void. However, additional recovery algorithm causes problems that increase both the amount of packet transmission and energy consumption. Communication void is a condition where all neighbor nodes are further away from the destination than the node currently holding a packet and it therefore cannot forward a packet using greedy forwarding. Therefore we propose a VODUA(Virtually Ordered Distance Upgrade Algorithm) as a novel idea to improve and solve the problem of void. In VODUA, nodes exchange routing graphs that indicate information of connection among the nodes and if there exist a stuck node that cannot forward packets, it is terminated using Distance Cost(DC). In this study, we indicate that packets reach successfully their destination while avoiding void through upgrading of DC. We designed the VODUA algorithm to find valid routes through faster delivery and less energy consumption without requirement for an additional recovery algorithm. Moreover, by using VODUA, a network can be adapted rapidly to node's failure or topological change. This is because the algorithm utilizes information of single hop instead of topological information of entire network. Simulation results show that VODUA can deliver packets from source node to destination with shorter time and less hops than other pre-existing algorithms like GPSR and DUA.
