If a certain relay node in multi-hop wireless networks might become a malicious node that does not cooperate with other nodes or a selfish node, network throughput will be dramatically decreased. Most of existing ad hoc routing protocols assuming that the nodes will fully cooperate with other nodes do not resolve the problem of network performance degradation due to malicious and selfish nodes. This paper presents the CARE (Cooperative Ad hoc routing protocol based REputation) scheme incorporating the reputation management that can achieve a multi-hop wireless network with high throughput performance. The proposed scheme provides the horizontal cross-layer approach which can identify misbehaving malicious, selfish nodes dropped out of the hop-by-hop based packet processing in the network and then set up an optimal packet routing path that will detour misbehaving nodes. And the vertical cross-layer approach contained in the CARE scheme attempts to improve the quality of routing paths by exploiting the quality of link information received from the MAC layer. Besides, it provides high TCP throughput by exploiting the reputation values of nodes acquired from the network layer into the transport layer. A case study on experiments and simulations shows that the CARE scheme incorporating vertical and horizontal cross-layer approaches yields better performance in terms of the low rate of packet loss, fast average packet delivery time, and high TCP throughput between end-to-end nodes.

최근 모바일 기술의 발달로 모바일 네트워크에서 사용자들이 가지고 있는 정보를 활용하는 P2P 서비스들이 많이 연구되고 있다. 그 중에 협력적 필터링(Collaborative Filtering, CF)을 이용한 추천 서비스는 모바일 네트워크 상의 다른 사용자의 정보를 수집하여 개인화된 추천을 수행한다. 기존에 연구 된 CF 추천 시스템에서 메시지 전달을 위해 broadcasting 방식 사용되었다. broadcasting 방식은 각 모바일 기기 주위의 모든 기기로 사용자 정보를 전송함으로써 많은 트래픽을 유발시킨다. 본 논문에서는 슈퍼 피어 방식을 이용하여 메시지 전송 양을 줄여, CF를 이용한 추천 서비스를 보다 효율적으로 하고, 추천성능을 유지하게 하였다. 실험을 통해 본 논문에서 제시한 방식이 broadcasting 방식의 메시지 양을 53% 감소시켰음을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose a relay-based DF cooperative communication scheme using repetitive transmission algorithm for wireless LAN environments on D-STBC. Additional transmission diversity gain can be obtained by repetitive transmission algorithm. However, in comparison with conventional schemes, data rate is decreased in half. We consider data modulation constellation twice higher than conventional schemes. Further, system complexity is decreased and performance degradation is minimized because repetitive transmission algorithm is adapted between source and relay node. We show the uncoded BER performance of the proposed algorithm over HiperLAN/2 Rayleigh fading channel.

협력 통신을 위한 프로토콜로 제안된 Hybrid relaying은 Source로부터 relay로 전송된 정보의 복호 성공 여부에 따라 증폭 후 전송 (AF) 기법과 복호 후 전송 (DF) 기법을 선택적으로 이용하여 전송한다. 최근 초고속 근거리 무선통신을 위한 테라 헤르츠 대역의 반송파를 이용한 연구가 활발해 지면서 Rician fading 채널 기반의 통신 기법 연구들이 중요 해 지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 노드간의 채널환경이 Rician fading 으로 모델링 되는 경우에 Hybrid relaying을 이용한 협력통신 기법의 outage probability를 분석한다.

본 논문에서는 무선 협력 네트워크(wireless cooperative network)의 전송 신뢰성과 공정성 향상을 위한 비례공정 중계(proportional-fair relaying) 기법을 제안한다. 다중 단말과 단일 기지국이 있는 다원 접속(multiple access) 환경에서 저속 페이딩(slow fading)에 의한 성능 열화를 저감하면서 단말간 자원 사용 공정성 보장하기 위해 비례공정 전송 기법과 중계 기법 결합한다. 이를 통해 기존 기회적(opportunistic) 전송 기법의 비대칭 채널(asymmetric channel)에서의 자원 사용 불공정성을 해결하면서 깊은 페이딩(deep fading)에 의한 데이터 무선 전송 손실을 최소화 한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험 결과를 통해 제안된 기법이 공정성 제한(fairness constraint)이 있는 다원 접속 환경에서 불능 확률(outage probability) 성능을 제고함을 보인다.

In this paper, we propose coordinated scheduling and beamforming based on limited feedback to overcome the effects of inter-cell interference in multi-cell environment. The goal of this study is to improve a performance of cell-edge area significantly affected by the inter-cell interference and also to guarantee a performance of the entire system. Existing coordinated scheduling and beamforming based on the perfect channel state information generates an overhead for the channel state information feedback and exchange at the users and base stations, respectively. In this study, first we propose a novel codebook to obtain a null space of an interference channel efficiently which can be used to reduce the inter-cell interference. Using the proposed codebook, we propose coordinated scheduling and beamforming to improve the performance of cell-edge area and the entire system. Through the proportional fair scheduling, the performance of the proposed technique is shown as improvement of channel capacity for users located cell-edge area and entire system.

Cooperative communications among users in multiple access wireless environments is an efficient way to obtain the powerful benefits of multi-antenna systems without the demand for physical arrays. This paper proposes a solution to optimize the weights of partnering users' signals for the minimum error probability at the output of maximum likelihood (ML) detector under the transmit power constraints by taking advantage of channel state information (CSI) feedback from the receiver to the transmitter. Simulation programs are also established to evaluate the performance of the system under flat Rayleigh fading channel plus AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise).

We propose a wireless-powered multihop transmission scheme using inter-node cooperation in a linear network topology. The proposed protocol determines the energy transfer time for each node to make the lifetime of the each node be equal in order to maximize the lifetime of the multihop path. To make the lifetime of each node the same, we apply the flocking algorithm which imitates the behavior of a bird flock flying at the same velocity, so that the lifetime of the nodes is averaged locally. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can maximize the lifetime of the multihop path by making all nodes have the same lifetime.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has limited power and bandwidth. In order to high data rate and high speed communication systems are required. Cooperative communication system can help to decrease power consumption through spatial diversity. In cooperative transmission, one partner node assists one sensor node to transmit their data to destination. Instead of using M partners for M sensor nodes, we propose 1 partner for M sensor nodes. And we proposed relay selection scheme base on ARQ. Proposed protocol offers higher diversity order as conventional one with much less bandwidth and power. The destination will consider the one packets received from the best relay to reduce the complexity of the system. We verified BER performance for the proposed protocol through Monte-Carlo simulation over Rayleigh fading plus AWGN.

Recently, hybrid CDN/P2P video streaming architecture is specially designed and deployed to achieve the scalability of P2P networks and the desired low delay and high throughput of CDNs. In this paper, we propose a cooperative video streaming and active node buffer management technique in hybrid CDN/P2P architecture. The key idea of this streaming strategy is to minimize network latency such as jitter and packet loss and to maximize the QoS(quality of service) by effectively and efficiently utilizing the information sharing of file location in CDN's proxy server which is an end node located close to a user and P2P network. Through simulation, we show that the proposed cooperative video streaming and active node buffer management technique based on CDN and P2P network improves the performance of realtime video streaming compared to previous methods.
