The applications based on geographical location are increasing rapidly in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Recently, various localization algorithms have been proposed but the majority of algorithms rely on the specific hardware to measure the distance from the signal sources. In this paper, we propose the Weighted Multiple Rings Localization(WMRL). We assume that each deployed anchor node may periodically emit the successive beacon signals of the different power level. Then, the beacon signals form the concentric rings depending on their emitted power level, theoretically. The proposed algorithm defines the different weighting factor based on the ratio of each radius of ring. Also, If a sensor node may listen, it can find the innermost ring of the propagated signal for each anchor node. Based on this information, the location of a sensor node is derived by a weighted sum of coordinates of the surrounding anchor nodes. Our proposed algorithm is fully distributed and does not require any additional hardwares and the unreliable distance indications such as RSSI and LQI. Nevertheless, the simulation results show that the WMRL with two rings twice outperforms centroid algorithm. In the case of WMRL with three rings, the accuracy is approximately equal to WCL(Weighted Centroid Localization).

The value of sensing information is decided according to positions of sensor nodes, which are very important in sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a method that estimates positions of nodes by using adjacent node information and received signal strength in a sensor network. With the proposed method, we can find positions of nodes easily because we use information that nodes have. Moreover, we can find distribution easily for all the nodes because we can measure a relative position for a node whose position is not known based on anchor nodes whose positions are already known. We utilized Use case diagram, activity diagram and State machine diagram among several diagrams of UML to implement proposed method in sensor networks that is dynamic system. We can understand exact flow for each function of the proposed method in node position estimation system can be implemented easily. And we can be confirmed that the position of estimated nodes has a little error.

Hierachical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) solves Micro-mobility protocol problem about Handover. Mobility Anchor Point(MAP) helps reducing the handover, but this makes a load on the MAP. Besides the MAP operates this work everytime, and every Nodes. In this paper, we propose the algorithm that reduces the amount of Map working.

Vehicular communication networking is one of the most important building blocks of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The vehicular communication network is a wireless communication system enabling vehicles to communicate with each other as well as with roadside base stations. Mobility management of vehicles which move at high speeds and occasionally make a long journey is an interesting research area of vehicular communication networks. Recently, The Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) protocol is proposed for network-based mobility management to reduce the overhead of mobile nodes. PMIPv6 shifts the burden of the mobility management from mobile nodes to network agents to decrease the overhead and latency for the mobility management. In this paper, we derive the scenario of deploying PMIPv6 in vehicular communication networks and propose a new LMA handover mechanism for realizing the scenario. By carrying out the ns-2 based simulations, we verify the operability of the proposed mechanism.

Holes that generated by the unpredictable and harsh nature application environment or uneven energy consumption are an inevitable phenomenon in wireless sensor networks. Most of the existing schemes for this hole problem tend to use a static detour path to bypass a hole. The static detour path may lead to uneven energy consumption of the nodes on the boundary of the hole, thus it may enlarge the region of holes. At the same time, traffic would concentrate on the nodes on the boundary of the hole and tend to be depleted quickly. To solve this problem, we introduce energy-efficient grid-based geographic routing and hole-detouring scheme by taking advantage of grid anchor point in wireless sensor network with holes. The location of hole detour anchor node is dynamically shifted in grid cell. just generating dynamic hole detour paths to reduce total energy consumption. Simulation results are provided to validate the claims.

RF 신호 강도인 RSSI(Received Signal Strength indication)를 이용해 지역화를 하는 방법론이나 알고리즘은 많이 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 대다수의 연구에서 추가적인 장비를 요구하거나, 복잡한 시스템 환경을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 무선랜 환경을 사용할 수 있는 노트북에서, Windows 기반의 802.11의 RSSI를 이용해 지역화를 수행하였다. IEEE 802.11의 네트워킹 구성을 한 센서노드들 중에 AP(Access Point) 역할을 하는 한 개의 고정노드(Anchor)를 중심으로 다수의 움직일 수 있는 모바일 노드들의 위치를 추적해가는 방법이며, Anchor가 많아지거나 모바일 노드가 늘어나면 지역화의 정확도는 증가하게 된다. 이 방법은 일반적인 802.11의 무선랜 환경이 가능한 랩톱에서도 쉽게 적응이 가능하며, 부가적인 장비의 의존성이 전혀 없고 소프트웨어 적인 방법론으로 해결하였다. 또한 지역화가 가능함과 동시에 각각의 센서 노드들은 802.11을 이용한 데이터 송수신이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 MS의 Windows 플랫폼 기반으로 테스트하였고, 효과적으로 Beacon 패킷을 송출하기 위한 해법을 제시한다.

Hierarchical Prefix Delegation (HPD) protocol refers to a type of solution to problems inherent in non-optimal routing which occurs with Network Mobility (NEMO) basic solution. However, because HPD cannot improve the micro-mobility Problems, Problem surfaces each time Mobile Network Node (MNN) changes the attachment point; as happens also in a Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) protocol in sen야ng Binding Update (BU) messages to Home Agent (HA) / Correspondent Nodes(CNs) By applying Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 protocol concept to HPD, this study Proposes an algorithm for effectively handling micro-mobility problems which occur with HPD in a nested NEMO environment. By sending BU only to nearby Mobility Anchor Point(MAP) during MNN location change within a MAP's domain, the proposed protocol will alleviate service disruption delays and signaling loads during the handover process, overcoming the limitations of HPD.
