In order to manage a large number of devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) proposed the IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL). The route of the RPL network is generated through the use of an Objective Function (OF) that is suitable for the service that is required for the IoT network. Since the route of the RPL network is conventionally simply chosen only by considering the link quality between the nodes, it is sensible to seek an OF that can also provide better Quality of Service (QoS). In previous studies, the end-to-end delay might possibly be sub-optimal because they only deal with problems related to the reduction of energy consumption and not to the link quality on the path to the sink node. In this study, we propose a scheme that reduces the end-to-end delay but also gives full consideration to both the quality on the entire route to the destination and to the expected lifetime of nodes with bottlenecks from heaped traffic. Weighting factors for the proposed scheme are chosen by experiments and the proposed scheme can reduce the end-to-end delay and the energy consumption of previous studies by 20.8% and 10.5%, respectively.

We propose an efficient cooperative ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) scheme for single-hop and multi-hop underwater acoustic communications, in which cooperative nodes are used to provide more reliable alternative paths for a specific source-to-destination connection. This alternative path has higher channel quality than that of the direct source-destination path. In addition, during a packet-relay through multiple hops, the typical acknowledgement (ACK) signal is replaced with overhearing data packet returned back from the next hop. The usage of overhearing as an ACK improves the system performance. In this paper, we evaluate the proposed scheme by comparing it with a conventional S&W ARQ in terms of throughput efficiency. Computer simulation results show that the proposed cooperative retransmission scheme can significantly improve the throughput by increasing the probability of successful retransmission.

It is important to constantly provide service in real-time multimedia applications using multicast. Transmission path reconstruction occurs in hybrid multicast using Internet Protocol (IP) multicast and ALM in order to adapt the network status to things like congestion. So, there is a problem in which real-time QoS is reduced, caused by an increase in end-to-end delay. In this paper, we want to solve this problem through multi-layer transmission path construction. In the proposed method, we deploy the control server and application layer overlay host (ALOH) in each multicast domain (MD) for hybrid multicast construction. After the control server receives the control information from an ALOH that joins the MD, it makes a group based on the hop count and sends it to the ALOH in each MD. The ALOH in the MD performs the role of sending the packet to another ALOH and constructs the multi-layered transmission path in order of priority by using control information that is received from the control server and based on the delay between neighboring ALOHs. When congestion occurs in, or is absent from, the ALOH in the upper MD, the ALOH selects the path with the highest priority in order to reduce end-to-end delay. Simulation results show that the proposed method could reduce the end-to-end delay to less than 289 ms, on average, under congestion status.

Multimedia applications have an ability to transmit a lot of data in real time. In mobile circumstances the replay of continuous multimedia data in real time causes frequent replay breaks and poor service quality because of low transmission speed and new transmission path settings in hand-off. To avoid these unfavorable side effects, we need a new mechanism which can transmit data efficiently between base station and mobile hosts, to control the buffers of mobile hosts, and to switch to a new transmission path rapidly in hand-off. The study is to propose how to give good service to mobile hosts during hand-off and the mechanism which can increase the number of mobile hosts in the cell unit.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is currently a popular research topic as a real time voice packet transmission method. But current Internet environment do not guarantee the quality of voice when we take a side view of delay, jitter and loss. Up to now, many voice based evaluation algorithms have been used to measure speech quality of VoIP systems. However, these algorithms have the defects that their results are different according to voice samples and some algorithms can not take network environment for speech transmission path. The E-model can be used to solve the problems of these algorithms. In this paper. we introduce VoIP planning guidelines through the various analysis of E-model which can model impairments of network quality as well as VoIP equipment quality systematically, We, also, show the evaluation method and results of speech transmission quality.

In a centralized control structure, the software defined network controller manages all openflow enabled switched in a data plane and controls the telecommunication between all hosts. In addition, the network manager can easily deploy the network function to the application layer with a software defined network controller. For this reason, many methods for network management using a software defined network concept have been proposed. The main policies for network management are related to traffic Quality of Service and resource management. In order to provide Quality of Service and load distribution for network users, we propose an efficient routing method using a naive bayesian algorithm and transmission delay estimation module. In this method, the forwarding path is decided by flow class and estimated transmission delay result in the software defined network controller. With this method, the load on the network node can be distributed to improve overall network performance. The network user also gets better dynamic Quality of Service.

MANET(Mobile Ad hoc Network)은 기지국(Base Station)이나 AP(Access Point)와 같은 고정된 네트워크 인프라의 도움 없이 임시망을 구성하는 무선 단말 노드들의 집합이다. MANET의 단말들은 단말로서의 데이터 전송 역할 뿐만 아니라 라우터, 서버로서의 역할도 동시에 수행 하여야 한다. 또한 노드의 이동 패턴, 링크 품질, 잔존 배터리의 양 등에 따라 네트워크 토폴로지가 변할 수 있으므로, 모바일 노드들 간의 통신을 위한 경로 설정과 유지가 매우 어렵다. 따라서 효과적으로 모바일 노드 간에 경로를 설정하고 유지하기 위한 라우팅 프로토콜에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 On-demand 방식인 AODV 프로토콜을 개선하여 목적지 노드에서 경로 복구 절차를 시작함으로써 기존 설정된 경로를 최대한 이용하여 경로복구 과정에서 제어 트래픽 오버헤드 및 데이터 패킷의 손실을 최소화하기 위한 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다.

현재의 인터넷은 고품질의 스트리밍 서비스와 늘어나는 가입자를 모두 수용할 수 없다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 Multi Path와 Multiple Description Coding (MDC) 를 사용하는 스트리밍 기법이 제안되었다. 그러나 MDC는 전체 네트워크에서 추가적인 대역폭 요구가 발생한다. 이 논문에서는 소스 노드에서 MDC 인코딩을 하는 것이 아니라 혼잡이 예상되는 지점에서 MDC로 트랜스코딩을 함으로써 대역폭이 낭비되는 문제를 해결한다.

Recently, many of researches on stream transmission for satisfying each of different real-time transmission condition of the multimedia data that demands various service quality through high-speed networks have been studied actively. In this paper, we design a scheme that discriminately reserves the network resources for the transmission of each multimedia application and propose a bandwidth allocation scheme for improving the utilization ratio of free resources. And we also propose a pipelining scheme for providing flexible real-time transmission. The proposed schemes can be used to support a real-time transmission by applying feedback transmission control method based on receiving buffer for guaranteeing the synchronization conditions requested by the multimedia data. Moreover, we propose a transmission control scheme that can take the amount of network resources down to the minimum amount within the range of permissible error-range under the guarantee with no quality degradation simultaneously when the bottleneck is caused by the network congestion. Finally, we propose a dynamic bandwidth smoothing scheme that can smooth the maximum bandwidth to the demand of each video steam for giving continuous transmission to the delay sensitive video steam between senders and receivers.

최근 영상의 활용도의 증가에 따라, 비정형 영상 데이터에 대한 양이 기하급수적으로 증가하였다. 디지털 영상을 획득할 시에 처리/압축/저장/전송/재생산 등의 과정을 거치면서 왜곡을 수반하게 되며 영상의 품질을 저하시키는 요인이 된다. 영상의 품질은 활용 결과에도 큰 영향을 미치기 때문에 품질이 저하된 영상은 분류를 하는 것이 중요하다. 하지만 사람이 수신된 모든 영상에 대해서 직접 분류를 하는 것은 많은 시간과 비용이 소요된다는 문제점이 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사람이 인지하는 주관적인 영상 품질 평가와 유사하게 품질에 대한 평가를 위한 왜곡영상의 특징정보를 검출 및 분석하는 방안에 대해서 제안한다. 본 방법은 사람이 영상을 인지할 때 가장 많이 사용되는 요소인 색상에 대한 선명도, 블러와 노이즈에 대한 특징정보를 이용한다. 검출된 특징정보를 공간 도메인으로 변환함으로써 왜곡 영상별 특성을 분석하였다. 실험을 위해서 IQA 데이터베이스인 LIVE를 이용하였으며, 원본영상 및 5가지 유형의 왜곡영상으로 구성되어 있다. 실험결과 품질이 좋은 영상과 왜곡영상에 대한 특성을 검출할 수 있었다.
