VANET(Vehicle Ad-hoc Network) 환경은 도로위의 차량을 노드로 하여 구성하는 애드혹 네트워크로써 최근 들어 그 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 분야이다. 일반적인 애드혹 환경과 마찬가지로 VANET 환경에서도 보안적인 문제가 중요한 이슈로 대두되고 있다. VANET 환경에서 가장 중요하게 요구되는 보안요소는 차량의 익명성을 통한 위치 프라이버시와 협력 운전(cooperative driving) 단계에서 사용되는 메시지에 대한 인증, 무결성, 부인방지 등이다. 본 논문에서는 익명 아이디(pseudonym), 그룹화 등을 통해 차량의 위치 프라이버시를 제공하고 또한 이를 이용해 VANET 환경에서 사용할 수 있는 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안하고자 한다. RA(Registration Authority)에서 발급되는 익명 아이디의 집합과 차량의 전송 범위를 고려해서 구성되는 그룹화는 그룹에 속한 차량에 대해 익명성을 제공하고, 또한 그룹리더에 의해 생성되는 그룹키를 통해 효율적인 협력 운전 메시지 전달을 할 수 있게 된다. 그리고 각각의 그룹리더를 라우터로 이용해 전달되는 라우팅 프로토콜은 노드가 매우 유동적으로 움직이는 VANET 환경에서 효과적으로 메시지를 전달할 수 있도록 해줄 것이다.

무선 Ad-hoc 네트워크에서는 주로 IEEE 802.11 MAC 프로토콜을 이용한다. IEEE 802.11 MAC 프로토콜은 제어 메시지인 RTS-CTS를 통해서 채널 예약을 하고 데이터를 전송하는 방식으로 모든 통신에 Omni-directional 안테나를 이용하여 전송한다. 본 논문에서는 기존 IEEE 802.11 MAC 프로토콜보다 성능을 향상시키기 위해서 directional 안테나를 이용한 MAC 프로토콜을 사용한다. Directional 안테나를 사용한 MAC 프로토콜은 IEEE 802.11 MAC 프로토콜에 비해서 Spatial Reuse를 증가함으로서 채널 자원을 더욱 효율적으로 사용하는 것이 가능하다. 또한 Directional 안테나의 사용은 안테나의 지향성에 따른 안테나 이득 및 전송 범위의 증가 그리고 전송 범위를 Omni-directional 안테나와 동일하게 적용할 경우에는 저 전력 통신이 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 Directional 안테나의 사용은 IEEE 802.11 MAC보다 좋은 성능을 갖기는 하지만 새로운 문제들이 발생한다. 이러한 문제들로는 New Hidden Terminal, Deafness, Capture, 그리고 위치 인식에 관련된 문제들이 발생한다. 본 논문에서서 위에서 언급한 Directional 안테나의 이점과 그리고 문제점에 대해서 설명하고, 이러한 문제들 중에 Deafness 문제를 완화시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 QualNet 4.0을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해서 제안된 프로토콜의 성능을 평가한다.

As digital communication technology evolves, the diversity of maritime communication methods has benn increasing due to the emergence of new maritime communication technologies such as digital very high frequency (VHF) communication systems and LTE-M as well as traditional conventional maritime communication systems. At sea, all maritime communication methods may be available, but only some communication methods may be available depending on the location. In this paper, we propose a multi-band network selection (MNS) system that can provide seamless maritime communication service by switching to an optimal communication band among available communication systems, depending on network environment and user requirements. The proposed MNS system in the middleware layer is designed to be able to interface with two types of digital VHF communication systems that satisfy Annex 1 and Annex 4 of ITU-R M. 1842-1, LTE, and high frequency (HF) communication systems. We assign priority to each communication band, and design an optimal communication band determination algorithm based on this priority.

In the sensor network, many tiny nodes construct Ad-Hoc network using wireless interface. As this type of system consists of thousands of nodes, managing each sensor node in real world after deploying them is very difficult. In order to install the sensor network successfully, it is necessary to verify its software using a simulator beforehand. In fact Sensor network simulators require high fidelity and timing accuracy to be used as a design, implementation, and evaluation tool of wireless sensor networks. Cycle-accurate, instruction-level simulation is the known solution for those purposes. In this paper, we developed an instruction-level sensor network simulator for Telos sensor node as named TeloSlM. It consists of MSP430 and CC2420. Recently, Telos is the most popular mote because MSP430 can consume the minimum energy in recent motes and CC2420 can support Zigbee. So that TeloSlM can provide the easy way for the developers to verify software. It is cycle-accurate in instruction-level simulator that is indispensable for OS and the specific functions and can simulate scalable sensor network at the same time. In addition, TeloSlM provides the GUI Tool to show result easily.

It is easy to install and maintain a mobile multi-hop wireless network due to its self-organizing characteristics. However it has security weakness of the authentication of mobile multi-hop relay stations. Specially, the mobile multi-hop relay network in the IEEE 802.16j has the additional security weakness caused by the requirement of backward compatibility for mobile stations of the conventional IEEE 802.16 system. In this paper, we propose a novel mutual authentication scheme applicable to IEEE 802.16j-based mobile multi-hop relay network architecture. The scheme is able to resolve the initial trust gain problem of a multi-hop node at its entry to the network, the problem of rogue mobile multi-hop node and the problem of hop-by-hop authentication between multi-hop nodes. Effectively, the scheme is a hybrid scheme of the distributed authentication method and the centralized authentication method which have been considered to be deployed in the wireless ad-hoc network and the wireless network connected to wired authentication servers, respectively. Also, we analyze the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid authentication method.

The scheme for recognizing the channel availability is one of the most important research issues in cognitive radio systems utilizing unused frequency bands. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme of selecting sensing channel in order to improve the sensing ability of frequency status in cognitive radio ad hoc networks. To fully exploit the sensing ability of each cognitive radio user, we adopt a master for a cluster which is made of several cognitive radio users. By gathering and analyzing the sensing information from cognitive radio users in the cluster, the cooperative sensing is realized. Since the transmission range of a licensed user is limited, it is possible that a master determines different sensing channels to each cognitive radio users based on their location. By making cognitive radio users sense different channels, the proposed scheme can recognize the state of wireless spectrum fast and precisely. Using the simulation, we compare the performance of the proposed scheme with those of two different compared schemes that one makes cognitive radio users recognize the frequency status based on their own sensing results and the other shares frequency status information but does not utilize the location information of licensed user. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides available channels as many as possible while detecting the activation of licensed user immediately.

In this paper, we propose a new multi-path routing protocol to provide reliable and stable data transmission in MANET that is composed of high-mobility nodes. The new multi-path routing establishes the main route by the mechanism based on AODV, and then finds the backup route that node-disjoint from the main route by making add nodes in the main route not participate in it. The data transmission starts immediately after finding the main route. And the backup route search process is taking place while data is transmitted to reduce the transmission delay. When either of the main route or the backup route is broken, data is transmitted continuously through the other route and the broken route is recovered to node-disjoint route by the route maintenance process. The result of the simulation based on the Qualnet simulator shows that the backup route exists 62.5% of the time when the main route is broken. And proposed routing protocol improved the packet transmission rate by 2~3% and reduced the end-to-end delay by 10% compared with AODV and AODV-Local Repair.

In this paper, we propose a modeling of the broadcasting in the IEEE 802.11p MAC protocol for the VANET(Vehicular Ad hoc Networks). Due to the fact that the beacon message which is needed for the safety services is shared via broadcasting, the analytical modeling of the broadcasting is crucial for the optimum design of the services. Two characteristics specific to the IEEE 802.11p are reflected in the modeling; the time limited CCH interval caused by the channel switching between the CCH and SCH, and no retransmission of the broadcasted messages. In the proposal, we assumed no restriction on the moment of generation of the beacon messages. We allow the messages to be generated and broadcasted within the whole CCH interval. Simulation results prove the accuracy of the proposed modeling. Noticeable improvements are also observed in terms of the performance indices such as the successful delivery ratio, transmission delay, and the variation of the delay.

VANET are a special kind of MANET adapted to the communications between vehicles. In this work, we propose the models used for representing the communication among vehicles, vehicles mobility features, and VANET simulator using realistic vehicular mobility models. VANET requires that a traffic and network simulator should be used together to perform this test. But, simulator tool has been preferred over traffic simulation because it simple, easy and cheap. Goal of this paper is to create a simulation of Vehicular Ad-Hoc network for urban scenario which can be used for testing purposes. Such environment can be used while designing better MAC protocols in VANETs. We are evaluating the performance of two routing protocols namely AODV and DSDV. The comparison was based on the throughout, packet loss and end-to-end delay. We found that DSDV has less throughput performance and high routing overhead than AODV. On average end-to-end delay and packet loss, AODV performs better than DSDV.

In this paper, the goal of our proposed algorithm is to reduce link -failure and route failure caused by dead nodes which consume all of the battery life. I propose an algorithm which provides a ability of changing mutes to neighbor nodes before some of intermediate nodes be shutting don to get the stable route maintenance. To achieve this goal, The proposed routing algerian uses additional new messages to check energy status for monitoring energy of neighbor nodes and to change the path to a neighbor node. From extensive simulations, results show that possibility of cut-offs and time-delay cause of packet-loss have been decreased and also the improvement of transmission effectiveness.
