In this paper we propose a method which can be used to enhance the reliability of E-ODMRP (Enhanced On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol). E-ODMRP has low overhead compared to its predecessors since it performs periodic refresh at a rate dynamically adapted to the nodes' mobility and adopts the local recovery. Upon detecting a broken route, a node performs a local search to graft to the forwarding mesh proactively. However in E-ODMRP there is no packet recovery mechanism. A receiver may lose some packets when it is detached from the multicast tree. We propose a simple packet recovery mechanism that can be incorporated into E-ODMRP for enhanced reliability. We show via simulation that our mechanism effectively enhances the reliability of E-ODMRP.

최근 휴대용 컴퓨터가 점점 소형화, 고성능화 되고 무선 액세스 기술이 향상됨에 따라 이동성에 대한 사용자의 요구가 증가하고 있다. 인터넷 상에서 이동성 제공을 위하여 네트워크 계층에서 호스트의 이동성을 제공하기 위한 연구로 IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)에서 Mobile IP라는 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존 Mobile IP의 문제점을 분석하여 구성 요소의 기능을 재설계 함으로써 이동 노드가 접속점을 변경하는 핸드오버가 발생한 경우, 성능 향상을 위한 바인딩 캐쉬 서버의 도입과 지역 등록(Local Registration) 방안을 제안하였다. 바인딩 캐쉬 서버를 통해 이동 노드에 바인딩 경보를 관리하여 Macro Mobility를 지원하도록 하고, 인접 접속점으로의 핸드오버 시는 지역 등록으로 Micro Mobility를 가능하게 하였다 또한 바인딩 캐쉬 서버와 지역 등록 서버에 버퍼링 기능을 가지도록 하여 핸드오버 시 이를 포워딩함으로써 데이터 패킷의 손실을 방지하였다 제안한 방안은 전송 지연과 패킷 손실 측면에서 기존의 방안보다 우수한 성능을 나타내고, 효율적인 경로 설정이 가능하다.

유무선 통합망 환경에서 TCP는 무선망에서의 통신오류 밀 핸드오프를 혼잡으로 인한 패킷 손실로 간주하여 혼잡제어 메카니즘을 동작시키기 때문에 네트워크의 전반적인 효율을 저하시킨다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방안으로 무선망에서의 TCP 성능을 개선하기 위한 연구가 다양하게 진행되어 오고 있다. 그 중에서 Snoop 프로토콜은 종단간의 의미 구조를 유지하면서 무선망의 패킷 손실을 지역 재전송을 통하여 최소화하는 방식으로 통신오류에는 좋은 성능을 보여주지만, 대량의 무선 데이터 유입시 buffer overflow가 발생할 가능성이 높다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 버퍼관리 기법을 이용하여 buffer overflow 상황을 미연에 방지하여 불필요한 혼잡제어 메카니즘을 호출하는 것을 방지하면서 네트워크의 전반적인 효율을 향상시키는 방안을 제안하였다.

Nowadays, most widely used transport protocol, TCP is tuned to perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. TCP performs reliable end-to-end packet transmission under the assumption of low packet error rate. However, networks with wireless links suffer from significant losses due to high error rate and handoffs. TCP responds to all losses by invoking congestion control and avoidance algorithms, resulting in inefficient use of network bandwidth and degraded end-to-end performance in that system. To solve this problem, several methods have been proposed. In this paper, we analyse and compare these methods and propose appropriate model for improving TCP performance in the network with wireless links. This model uses TCP selective acknowledgement (SACK) option between TCP ends, and also uses caching method at the base station. Our simulation results show that using TCP SACK option with base station caching significantly reduces unnecessary duplicate retransmissions and recover packet losses effectively.

The IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN (Local Area Network) is widely used for wireless access due to its easy deployment and low cost. Multicast in wireless LANs is very useful for transmitting data to multiple receivers compared to unicast to each receiver. In the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN, multicast transmissions are unreliable since multicast data packets are transmitted without any feedback from receivers. Recently, various protocols have been proposed to enhance the reliability of multicast transmissions. They still have serious problems in reliability and efficiency due to the excessive control overhead by the use of a large number of control packets in the error recovery process, and due to a large number of retransmissions to satisfy all receivers. In this paper, we propose an effective scheme called PTRM(Proactive Transmission based Reliable Multicast). The proposed scheme uses a block erasure code to generate parity packets and to reduce the impact of independent packet error among receivers. After generating parity packets, the PTRM transmits data packets as many as receivers need to recover error, and then requests feedback from them. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides reliable multicast while minimizing the feedback overhead.

The most noticeable aspect of progressive streaming is the media playback during its download through TCP to avoid a lengthy wait for a content to finish downloading. By employing TCP, it is usually possible to detect lost packets by using the checksum and sequence numbering functions of TCP Thereafter, we can recover the lost packets by the retransmission function of TCP. However, there must remain enough amount of media data in the recipient buffer in order to guarantee seamless media playback even during retransmission. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for determining the initial buffering time before start of playback to guarantee seamless playback during retransmission considering the probability of client buffer under-flow. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm will be proved through extensive simulation results.

ALC(Asyncronous Layered Coding)는 LCT(Layered Coding Transport)기반의 폭넓은 확장성과 다양한 전송속도로 신뢰성 있는 멀티캐스트 전송을 주 목적으로 한다. ALC는 다른 RMT 프로토콜과는 달리 재전송을 하지 않고 receiver-driven 형태의 혼잡제어를 하기 때문에 신뢰성을 제공하기 위해 FEC(Forward Error Correction) 스킴를 이용한다. 본 논문은 신뢰적인 멀티캐스트 전송 프로토콜을 위해 ALC와 FEC 스킴 중 하나인 LDPC 코드를 이용하여 구현한다. 인코딩 비율(Encoding ratio)에 따라 일정 수준 이상의 복구 성공 확율에 대해 최대 허용 가능한 패킷 손실률을 측정하여 신뢰치를 측정한다. 마지막으로 일대다의 파일 전송 시, TCP와 비교하여 본 구현물의 유연성과 효율성에 대해 분석 및 평가한다.

IEEE 802.11n standard has introduced the new schemes in MAC and PHY layers to improve network throughput. Frame aggregation and Block ACK are mainly defined to increase the efficiency of the MAC layer. There exists still problem in IEEE 802.11n. When block ACK request and/or response frames are missing or received in error, the sender does not know the status (success/failure) of each frame in the aggregated large frame and retransmits all the frames. This can cause a lower network performance. To solve this problem, we propose a new effective scheme, called reduced retransmission of MPDUs (RRM) scheme. In the proposed scheme, when a sender does not receive a block ACK response frame, it just transmits a next data frame and requests a block ACK. Therefore, it can retransmits the erroneous frames. Performance of the proposed scheme is investigated by simulation. Our results show that the proposed scheme is very effective and improves the performance under a wide range of channel error conditions.

무선 통신 기술의 발전으로 무선망에서 멀티이디어 사용자의 수가 급격히 증가하고 있으며 서비스 질에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 모바일 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 무선 링크의 취약성과 사용자의 이동성으로 인해 연속 멀티미디어 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 핸드오프로 인한 지연이나 패킷 손실 없이 사용자에게 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하기 위해서 지능형 버퍼링 핸드오프 프로토콜과 Pre-customization 기법을 제안한다. 지능형 버퍼링 핸드오프 프로토콜은 핸드오프 중에 모바일 호스트가 이동할 셀의 Basestation에 미리 패킷을 버퍼링하고 MH가 새로운 셀로 이동했을 때. 즉시 패킷을 전송할 수 있게 한다. 그리고 핸드오프 동안 Basestation은 Pre-Customization을 통해 미리 멀티미디어 데이터를 무선 링크 상태와 단말기 수용성. 사용자 선호도를 고려한 필터링을 항으로써 QoS 재협상 없이 서비스를 제공한다.

This paper proposes a fault-tolerant data aggregation which provides energy efficient and reliable data collection in wireless sensor networks. The traditional aggregation scheme does not provide the countermeasure to packet loss or the countermeasure scheme requires a large amount of energy. The proposed scheme applies caching and re-transmission based on the track topology to the adaptive timeout scheduling. The proposed scheme uses a single-path routing based on the traditional tree topology at normal, which reduces the dissipated energy in sensor nodes without any countermeasure against packet loss. The proposed scheme, however, retransmits the lost packet using track topology under event occurrences in order to fulfill more accurate data aggregation. Extensive simulation work under various workloads has revealed that the proposed scheme decrease by 8% in terms of the dissipated energy and enhances data accuracy 41% when the potential of event occurrence exists as compared with TAG data aggregation. And the proposed scheme decrease by 53% in terms of the dissipated energy and shows a similar performance in data accuracy when the potential of event occurrence exists as compared with PERLA data aggregation.
