The paper deals with the performance of contention-based medium access control (MAC) protocols for underwater sensor networks. We extensively analyze the number of received-packets and the end-to-end delay of ALOHA, CSMA, CSMA-RTS-CTS and CSMA-RTS-CTS-ACK protocols using a Qualnet underwater network simulator which accommodates diverse underwater acoustic channel environments. Using simulation results, we support an engineering table to determine an adequate contention-based MAC protocol for underwater sensor networks.

In this paper, we propose a new reliable multicast MAC protocol over the IEEE 802.11-based tactical ad hoc networks. The major contribution compared to the previous reliable multicast schemes using consecutive CTSs/ACKs is that the proposed scheme can send multiple CTS/ACK messages concurrently assisted by MC-DS/CDMA mechanisms. When multiple receivers receive the RTS/DATA message from a sender, they respond with the CTS/ACK message spread with pre-assigned code in the same time interval. The proposed scheme can reduce the overhead of multiple CTSs/ACKs. It is also possible to alleviate the received signal strength at the enemy detector and thus it improves low probability of detection performance. Through simulations and analysis, the proposed scheme outperforms that of the multiple CTSs/ACks in terms of the throughput, transmission delay and low probability of detection.

무선 센서 네트워크에서는 에너지가 제한된 배터리로 네트워크를 구성하기 때문에 에너지 효율적 사용에 대한 연구가 주요한 이슈이다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 에너지 사용을 위하여 트래픽 변화 환경을 위한 Wakeup 주기 제어 메커니즘을 제안한다. 제안되는 MAC 프로토콜은 수신자의 제어 신호로 데이터 전송이 시작된다. 송신 노드는 트래픽이 변화를 데이터 패킷 프레임에 플래그(flag)를 추가하여 수신노드에 전달한다. 수신 노드는 이를 통해 수신 노드의 Wakeup 주기를 제어한다. 제안되는 MAC 프로토콜은 트래픽이 적을 경우 수신 노드의 sleep 구간의 증가를 통하여 에너지가 절약된다. 또한 트래픽이 높은 경우 수신 노드의 Wakeup 주기를 줄여 송신 노드의 idle listening으로 발생하는 에너지 소모를 감소시킨다. 제안되는 MAC 프로토콜은 기존의 프로토콜과 비교하여 빠르게 Wakeup 주기를 조절함으로서 에너지 효율적면에서 더 좋은 성능을 보여준다.

In this paper, we newly propose a performance enhanced CSMA/CD MAC(Medium Access Control) protocol for the Ethernet which changes its operation mode dynamically according to the network status, not fixed it as one of p-persistent mode and non-persistent mode. Dynamic mode change occurs independently on each node, and uses the consecutive success count and the fail count of the frame transmission. The simulation result shows that the dynamic mode change maintains the enhanced network utilization and transmission delay characteristics. Also we show the implementation simplicity of our MAC protocol through its conceptual design using the Ethernet commercial chip as it stands.

멀티미디어 멀티캐스트에서의 통신 관리를 위한 기존의 많은 방법들은 인터넷이나 ATM망 같은 특정 전송환경에 의존적이었고, 효율적인 통신 관리 메카니즘이 부족했다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 멀티미디어 멀티캐스트 어플리케이션에 적용될 수 있는 유연하고 확장 가능한 통신 관리 구조를 정의한다. 이 구조는 제어와 터미널의 분리를 통해 원격제어 및 이동 제어가 가능하게 함으로서 다양한 방법으로 서비스를 이용할 수 있는 환경을 제공하며, 호 제어와 연결 제어를 분리하여 연결자원의 효율적인 사용을 가능케 했으며, 연결제어를 위해 기존의 프로토콜의 접합을 사용함으로서 네트워크 환경에 독립적인 환경을 제공할 수 있고, 기존 전송 네트워크의 최소한의 수정 및 구조의 실용성 증가를 기대할 수 있다.

Route failure is mainly caused by mobility of mobile host in ad hoc networks. Route failure, which may lead to sudden packet losses and delays, is losing the route from source to destination. In this situation, TCP assumes that congestion has occurred within the network and also initiates the congestion control procedures. Congestion control algorithm provides the means for the source to deal with lost packets. TCP performance in ad hoc environments will be degraded as TCP source cannot distinguish congestion from route failure. In this paper, we propose TCP-P as pre-detection approach to deal with route failure. TCP-P freezes TCP through pre-detection of route failure. Route failure information of the proposed mechanism is obtained not by routing protocol but by MAC protocol. The intermediated node, obtaining route failure information by its MAC layer, relays the information to TCP source and lets TCP source stop the congestion control algorithm. Results reveal that TCP-P responding with proactive manner outperforms other approaches in terms of communication throughput under the presence of node mobility.

Reliable multicast data transmission in a 1:N environment needs more sophisticated error control mechanism than that of in 1:1 environment due to ACK implosion and duplicated retransmission. Although there have been many related research on error control in reliable multicast, real implemented protocols are rare. As one of the reliable multicast transport protocols, ECTP is selected as an international standard reliable multicast protocol by ITU-T and ISO and implemented on RedHat 7.2 machine by us. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of the error control mechanism in the respect of throughput and generated control packet numbers with a real implementation code. From the results, it is concluded that the suitable values of error control parameters can be obtained from the local group size and network environments.

In this paper, we propose an ARQ packet error control scheme using multiple threads in delivering massive capacity of multimedia based on MMT(MPEG Media Transport) protocol. On the sending side, each frame that constitutes an image is packetized into MMT packets based on MMT protocol. The header of the packet stores the sequence number of the frames contained in the packet and the time of presentation information. The payload of the packet stores the direct information that comprises the frame. The generated MMT packet is transmitted to the IP network. The receiving side checks if any error has occurred in the received packet. For any identified error, it controls the error through ARQ error control scheme and reconfigure the frame according to the information stored in the header of the received packet. At this point, a multi-threading based transport design is constructed so that each thread takes over a single frame, which increases the transmission efficiency of massive capacity multimedia. The efficiency of the multi-threading transport method is verified by solving the problems that might arise when using a single-thread approach if packets with errors are retransmitted.

In this paper, we propose an effective multicasting protocol in wireless ad-hoc networks. Conventional wired and wireless network multicast protocols do not perform well in wireless ad hoc networks because they were designed without consideration of ad hoc environments such as node mobility, limited bandwidth, high error probability. To solve this problem, some multicasting protocols for ad hoc network have been proposed in the literature. However, these protocols can not provide high packet delivery ratio, low control packet overhead and low expended bandwidth at the same time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose RTMA that improves multicasting performance in wireless ad hoc networks. RTMA calculates its current region from its position information by using GPS in order to make tree among the multicast group nodes in the same region. The proposed region-based tree method is for high packet delivery ratio, low control packet overhead when many senders send data packets. RTMA makes a reliable tree by using speed information to fill a gap of the weak points of the tree structure. When searching the routing path, RTMA selects the reliable path excluding high speed nodes.
