Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are popular due to their low cost and rapid deployment. Currently, many WMN researchers often considers the use of ad-hoc routing protocols because WMNs are similar to the ad-hoc networks. Some of currently deployed WMNs consider to use on-demand routing protocols such as Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR). But, AODV are not appropriate for Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), because flooding-based route discovery is both redundant and expensive in terms of control message overhead. In this paper, we propose a directional AODV (D-AODV) routing protocol based on hop count to a gateway. We implement the D-AODV routing protocol and evaluate the performance of the D-AODV on the testbed. The measurement results show that the D-AODV can enhance the network throughput by reducing the routing overhead.

With the development of wireless data communication technology, all IP-based network will become compositions of wired and wireless networks. TCP is a connection-oriented, reliable transport protocol and has been used as de facto standard in most wired networks. Because TCP's congestion control algorithm could not distinguish congestion from BER, link failure and frequent route changes, TCP shows a poor performance over mobile ad-hoc networks. In this paper, the theoretical feature of TCP was studied and the performance of TCP over mobile ad-hoc networks was analyzed with ns2.

In an infrastructure-based wireless network, an access point is used for all communications among mobile devices. However, when a mobile device moves into a dead Bone, a connectivity disruption between the mobile device and the access point occurs. Such connectivity disruption consequently leads to another connectivity disruption between the mobile device moving toward the dead zone and other wireless-enabled devices located within the area of the infrastructure-based wireless network. To cope with the connectivity disruption in the infrastructure-based wireless network the ad hoc network that dynamically forms a network without any preexisting communication infrastructure needs to be set up to provide seamless connections among mobile devices. In this paper, we propose the DNSQ-MAC (Dynamic Network State aware QoS-Medium Access Control) technique that meets the deadlines of MAC frames forwarded over hop-by-hop multipaths and guarantees the QoS performance of an ad hoc-based wireless network. Mobile devices incorporating the DNSQ-MAC technique are capable of adjusting to the new dynamic network status in order to enhance the QoS performance in the ad hoc-based wireless network. A case study which exploits the Qualnet simulator shows that the proposed DNSQ-MAC technique can guarantee the deadlines of MAC frames forwarded over hop-by-hop multipaths and enhance the QoS performance of various routing protocols and packet schedulers running on the network layer above the MAC layer.

In this paper, we evalvated two main QoS supporting routing protorol on wireless ad hoc network. At Presence wireless mobile communication focuses on how to efficiently support mobility of users more than QoS guarantee. However, in order to satisfy requirement of various applications which have been or will be served, QoS support service between source and destination becoming a very important issue. Of all routing protocols, DSR and AOUV are very improtant routing protocol in MANET. So we simulated DSR and AODV QoS Routing Protocol Through simulation evaluation tool NS(Network Simulation) based on various environments.

이동 Ad-hoc 무선망은 고정 라우터나 호스트, 무선 기지국에 관계없이 순수하게 무선기반의 인프라 구조로 구성된 망이다. 기존의 무선망 인프라는 기반 구축 비용이 많이 들고 기반구조가 파괴되었을 때 서비스 제공이 불가능한 단점이 있다. Ad-hoc 무선망은 이러한 단점을 보안하기 위해 라우팅 알고리즘을 구현하여 기존의 통신망보다 Ad-hoc 무선망을 이용하면 지진으로 인한 유.무선망의 통화단절 등을 막을 수 있고, 이동전화 품질서비스, 저렴한 가격, 떨어져 있는 동일 사업장내에서 무료 통화가 가능하여 이동통신 사업자에게 통신료를 지불할 필요가 없다. 본고에서는 이를 실현화 시킬 수 있는 알고리즘 개발과 시험을 통한 결과를 제시하고자 한다.

Ad-hoc 무선망은 고정된 유선망을 가지지 않고 이동 노드들로만 구성된 망이다. 여러 가지 이동 노드에 대한 이동 제약이 없고, 유선망이나 기지국 같은 기반 구조를 필요를 하지 않기 때문에 여러 환경에 적용이 가능하다. 그러나 라우터들 사이의 이동성과 다른 연결 요소들의 가변적인 요소는 잠재적으로 속도감 있고 예측 불가능하게 변하는 망을 가져올 수 있다. 이에 따른 패킷의 손실이 무선 네트워크에서 자주 발생하게 된다. 최근 몇 년 동안 Ad-hoc망에서 사용되는 라우팅 프로토콜의 각각에 대한 성능을 분석하는 연구가 있었지만, Ad-hoc 무선망에서 특정한 프로토콜의 TCP 버전별 비교 분석에 대한 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 무선 네트워크가 가지는 단점을 보완하고 트래픽 성능을 향상시키기 위한 한 방편으로, Ad-hoc 라우팅 알고리즘인 DSR 프로토콜을 이용하여 TCP Tahoe, Sack, Reno 버전별로 토폴로지의 크기의 변화와 이동 노드의 이동 속도의 변화에 따라 트래픽의 성능을 모의 실험하여 비교 분석하였다.

TICN, a next-generation tactical communication network based on a wireless network, acts as the backbone of the whole network. TICN requires the routing which takes both survivability of passage, reliability, and safety of wireless link into consideration. A tactical network like TICN may maintain the passage for just a short period of time due to topology's frequent changes; In this process all nodes, dependent on batteries for their necessary energy, are restricted by batteries' durability in due course. To overcome this shortcoming, the up-to-date protocols consider only either of diminishing or balancing out energy consumptions. Thus there was a limitation to enhancing both throughput and energy efficiency. The thesis proposes a protocol which regards both throughput and energy efficiency, and enhances node survivability by means of minimizing and balancing energy consumption of the whole network. The protocol brings out an improvement in throughput and makes each node's energy usage more effective.

A Mobile Ad Hoc NETwork (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that forms a temporary network without the need for any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. Therefore, such a network is designed to operate in a highly dynamic environment due to node mobility. In mobile ad hoc network, frequent topological changes cause routing a challenging problem and without the complete view of the network topology, establishing the shortest path from the source node to the destination node is difficult. In this paper, we suggest a routing approach which utilizes location information to setup the shortest possible path between the source node and the destination node. Location information is obtained through Global Positioning System (GPS) and this geographical coordinate information of the destination node is used by the source node and intermediate nodes receiving route request messages to determine the shortest path to the destination from current node.

Neighbor knowledge in wireless ad hoc networks provides important functionality for a number of protocols. The neighbor knowledge is acquired via Hello packets. Hello packets are periodically broadcasted by the nodes which want to advertise their existence. Usage of periodic Hello packet, however, is a big burden on the wireless ad hoc networks. This paper deals with an approach where each node acquires neighbor knowledge by observing not only Hello packets but also broadcasting packets. Analysis and computer simulation results show that the method using broadcast packets offers significant improvement over the method using Hello packet only. When the required hello packet transmission interval and the average broadcasting interval are equal, the overhead reduction is about 42%.

Wireless ad hoc network which is comprised of wireless nodes that have the limited communication range is utilized to monitoring disaster area, tracing object, and tactical system. But in the case of wireless node on the ground, a network performance decrease because wireless channel is affected from obstacle or the node deployment is restricted. In this paper, we consider wireless network based on UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) which has little spatial constraint and quickly deploy a position. We implement test-bed included ground nodes and UAV, and measure throughput and PDR(Packet Delivery Ratio) according to the usage of UAV. We show that network performance is improved by relaying data on UAV.
