This paper proposes a genetic algorithm to maximize the connectivity among the mobile nodes for the cooperative communication in ad-hoc networks. In general, as the movement of the mobile nodes in the networks increases, the amount of calculation for finding the solution would be too much increased. To obtain the optimal solution within a reasonable computation time for a high-density network, we propose a genetic algorithm to obtain the optimal solution for maximizing the connectivity. In order to make a search more efficient, we propose some efficient neighborhood generating operations of the genetic algorithm. We evaluate those performances through some experiments in terms of the maximum number of connections and the execution time of the proposed algorithm. The comparison results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms other existing algorithms.

In this paper, we consider mobile ad hoc network routing protocols with respect to content sharing applications. We show that by utilizing social relations among participants, our routing protocols can improve its performance and efficiency of caching. Moreover, in certain situation which we can anticipate pattern of user's content consumption, our scheme can help such applications be more efficient in terms of access time and network overhead. Using NS2 simulator, we compare our scheme to DSDV and routing protocol using shortest path algorithm.

In this paper, we present a new method for efficient mobility management in infrastructure-based ad hoc networks. This type of network inherently takes the tree topology model in which an Internet gateway (IG) becomes a root. Accordingly, the nodes near the IG process get much more number of messages, thereby causing a bottleneck phenomenon that degrades network performance. This problem is known as a funneling effect. We present a method to maximize message aggregation in which the nodes in the networks form tree topology and perform skewed time synchronization according to the depths of the nodes during the tree construction process. We proved by resorting to simulation that the funneling effect is alleviated and network performance is improved greatly.

A distributed healthcare monitoring system prototype for clinical and trauma patients, was developed, using wireless sensor network node. The proposed system aimed to measure various vital physiological health parameters like ECG and body temperature of patients and elderly persons and transfer his/ her health status wirelessly in Ad-hoc network, to remote base station which was connected to doctor's PDA/PC or to a hospital's main Server using wireless sensor node. The system also aims to save the cost of healthcare facility for patients and the operating power of the system because sensor network is deployed widely and the distance from sensor to base station was shorter than in general centralized system. The wireless data communication will follow IEEE 802.15.4 frequency communication with ad-hoc routing thus enabling every motes attached to patients, to form a wireless data network to send data to base-station, providing mobility and convenience to the users in home environment.

Geocasting, a variant of the conventional multicasting problem, is one of communication type in which the data packets are delivered to a group of all nodes within a specified geographical region (i.e., the geocasting region) and is called location-based multicasting(LBM)(l). An Ad-hoc network is a dynamically reconfigurable and temporary wireless network where all mobile devices using batteries as energy resources cooperatively maintain network connectivity without central administration or the assistance of base stations. Consequently, the technique to efficiently consume the limited amounts of energy resources is an important problem so that the system lifetime is maximized. In this paper, we propose a LBPA(Location-Based Power Aware) geocasting algorithm that selects energy-aware neighbor to route a packet towards the target region In Ad-hoc network environments. The method Is such that the energy consumption is balanced among the nodes in proportion to their energy reserves. Through the simulations, the proposed LBPA algorithm shows better results, that is, as good as 40% on the average over the conventional LBM algorithm in terms of the network lifetime.

We design, implement, and evaluate a user-level ad hoc network routing protocol on the COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) mobile devices. In situations such as disaster recovery, emergency communication between mobile devices is necessary. For wide deployability and usability of such a system, we design and implement the networking protocols on the user level instead of modifying the kernel of mobile devices. In order to support reliable data transfer in high mobility scenarios, we selected to implement AODV (Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector) as the routing protocol and TCP as the transport layer protocol. With our implementation of ad hoc networking stack on COTS smartphones, we conducted experiments in various networking environments. Our experimental results show that ad hoc networking is possible in up to 12 hops in a line topology and 5 concurrent devices in a star topology.

In terrestrial communications, high data rate transmission can be achieved by splitting the coverage area into small cells through base stations and reusing the resource efficiently. However, the geographical features of maritime communications require the long transmission range, and it is not practical to install base station on the sea to set up the similar deployment as the terrestrial communications, so MF/HF band modem with low data rate are currently utilized for maritime communications. And the expensive satellite communication via Inmarsat is the conventional solution for the high data rate transmission on the sea. To reduce the cost, Ad-hoc network is proposed to apply on the sea, which requires no base station for the peer-to-peer communications. In this paper, we denominate this maritime environment specific Ad-hoc network as Nautical Ad-hoc Network (NANET). Furthermore, the deployment scenario for the NANET, and the analysis on multiple access and duplexing schemes for the NANET are discussed in this paper, which serves as the cornerstone for the further NANET research and development.

The multimedia ad hoc wireless network is quite an attractive issue since it offers a flexible solution to enable delivery of multimedia services to mobile end users without fixed backbone networks. However, with the unique design challenges of ad hoc wireless networks, it is a non-trivial issue to provide bounded delay guarantee, with fair share of resources. In this paper, we proposed distributed implementation of the delay guaranteed fair queueing (DGFQ) scheme in multimedia ad hoc wireless networks. Through the the results of performance evaluation, we can conclude that DGFQ also performs well to control bounded delay in multimedia ad hoc wireless networks.

In this paper, we propose an DSR(Dynamic Source Routing) protocol to support QoS for reliable data transmission in the mobile ad-hoc network. The proposed algorithm uses DSR protocol to support QoS as its basic routing protocol, and uses the nodes which are between source and destination nodes as key QoS support. Because of moving nodes there is some problem that is restricted reliable data transmission. For solve this problem, source node set up the QoS link with destination node. The nodes that are located at QoS link and find out loss of transmission path save the transmitting data packets. Those search a new transmission path to destination node and transmit the saved data packet to destination node. As the result of evaluation, we found the proposed QoS network guaranteed reliable data transmission with almost 100% data reception rate for slowly moving mobile ad-hoc network and with more 96% data reception rate, which is improvement of 3.7737% reception rate compared with none QoS network, for continuously fast moving mobile ad-hoc network.
