In this paper, we first survey cross-layer architectures for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs). Afterwards, we propose a novel cross-layer architecture for QoS provisioning in clustered and multi-hop based WMSNs. The proposed architecture provides support for multiple network-based applications on a single sensor node. For supporting multiple applications on a single node, an area in memory is reserved where each application can store its network protocols settings. Furthermore, the proposed cross-layer architecture supports heterogeneous flows by classifying WMSN traffic into six traffic classes. The architecture incorporates a service differentiation module for QoS provisioning in WMSNs. The service differentiation module defines the forwarding behavior corresponding to each traffic class. The forwarding behavior is primarily determined by the priority of the traffic class, moreover the service differentiation module allocates bandwidth to each traffic class with goals to maximize network utilization and avoid starvation of low priority flows. The proposal incorporates the congestion detection and control algorithm. Upon detection of congestion, the congested node makes an estimate of the data rate that should be used by the node itself and its one-hop away upstream nodes. While estimating the data rate, the congested node considers the characteristics of different traffic classes along with their total bandwidth usage. The architecture uses a shared database to enable cross-layer interactions. Application's network protocol settings and the interaction with the shared database is done through a cross-layer optimization middleware.

Thin client computing trades local processing for network bandwidth consumption by offloading application logic to remote servers. User input and display updates are exchanged between client and server through a thin client protocol. On wireless devices, the thin client protocol traffic can lead to a significantly higher power consumption of the radio interface. In this article, a cross-layer framework is presented that transitions the wireless network interface card (WNIC) to the energy-conserving sleep mode when no traffic from the server is expected. The approach is validated for different wireless channel conditions, such as path loss and available bandwidth, as well as for different network roundtrip time values. Using this cross-layer algorithm for sample scenario with a remote text editor, and through experiments based on actual user traces, a reduction of the WNIC energy consumption of up to 36.82% is obtained, without degrading the application's reactivity.

In the development of logistics system, the breakthrough of important technologies such as technology platform for logistics information management and control is the key content of the study. Based on Javascript and JQuery, the logistics system realizes real-time monitoring, collection of historical status data, statistical analysis and display, intelligent recommendation and other functions. In order to strengthen the cooperation of warehouse storage, enhance the utilization rate of resources, and achieve the purpose of real-time and visual supervision of transportation equipment and cargo tracking, this paper studies the VNF dynamic deployment and SFC routing problem in the network load change scenario based on the logistics system. The BIP model is used to model the VNF dynamic deployment and routing problem. The optimization objective is to minimize the total cost overhead generated by each SFCR. Furthermore, the application of the SFC mapping algorithm in the routing topology solving problem is proposed. Based on the concept of relative cost and the idea of topology transformation, the SFC-map algorithm can efficiently complete the dynamic deployment of VNF and the routing calculation of SFC by using multi-layer graph. In the simulation platform based on the logistics system, the proposed algorithm is compared with VNF-DRA algorithm and Provision Traffic algorithm in the network receiving rate, throughput, path end-to-end delay, deployment number, running time and utilization rate. According to the test results, it is verified that the test results of the optimization algorithm in this paper are obviously improved compared with the comparison method, and it has higher practical application and promotion value.

최근 통신사업자(Telco)들은 급증하고 있는 고용량의 멀티미디어 트래픽을 수익화하기 위해, 자신의 네트워크 인프라에 CDN(Contents Delivery Network)을 직접 구축하거나, 망 증설의 부담을 줄이기 위해 ALTO(Application Layer Traffic Optimization)와 같은 트래픽 지역화 기술을 적용하는 등 다양한 노력을 경주하고 있다. CDNI(CDN interconnetion)는 이러한 노력의 일환으로, 전 세계에 걸쳐 고품질의 콘텐츠 전달 서비스 인프라를 구축함과 동시에 새로운 콘텐츠 유통 체계를 정립하는데 큰 기여를 할 것으로 기대되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 글로벌 ISP를 중심으로 결성된 CFP(CDN Federation Pilot)에 대해 소개하고, 현재 진행 중인 Telco CDN 상호연동 기능시험과 그 결과를 일부 제시한다. 또한, IETF CDNI 워킹그룹을 중심으로 진행되고 있는 Telco CDN 연동과 관련된 기술 표준화에 대해서 소개한다.

최근 인터넷 환경은 기존 웹 중심에서 고품질 멀티미디어 콘텐츠 중심으로 변화하고 있으며, 이에 따라 네트워크가 전달해야 할 트래픽에서 비디오 콘텐츠 및 파일공유 트래픽이 차지하는 비중이 급격히 늘어나고 있다. 따라서 네트워크 사업자는 대용량 비디오 콘텐츠 트래픽의 수익화 연계가 가능한 Smart Pipe를 위한 방안으로 고품질 미디어 콘텐츠 전달 기능이 추가된 스마트 네트워크로의 전환을 추진하고 있다. 스마트 네트워크는 콘텐츠 중심 네트워크(Content-Centric Network)의 개념을 현재의 IP 네트워크 위에서 오버레이 형태로 콘텐츠를 인지하여 콘텐츠별 최적 네트워크 자원을 할당하고 네트워크 사업자의 네트워크 제어능력을 추가하여 End-to-End로 고품질 콘텐츠 전달이 가능하도록 하는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 스마트 네트워크를 구현하기 위한 구조 및 주요기능과 시험망을 통한 결과를 제안한다.

Quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning for a cognitive mesh network (CMN) with heterogeneous services has become a challenging area of research in recent days. Considering both real-time (RT) and non-real-time (NRT) traffic in a multihop CMN, [1] studied cross-layer resource management, including joint access control, route selection, and resource allocation. Due to the complexity of the formulated resource allocation problems, which are mixed-integer non-linear programming, a low-complexity yet efficient algorithm was proposed there to approximately solve the formulated optimization problems. In contrast, in this work, we present an application of genetic algorithm (GA) to re-address the hard resource allocation problems studied in [1]. Novel initialization, selection, crossover, and mutation operations are designed such that solutions with enough randomness can be generated and converge with as less number of attempts as possible, thus improving the efficiency of the algorithm effectively. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the newly proposed GA-based algorithm. Furthermore, by comparing the performance of the newly proposed algorithm with the one proposed in [1], more insights have been obtained in terms of the tradeoff among QoS provisioning for RT traffic, throughput maximization for NRT traffic, and time complexity of an algorithm for resource allocation in a multihop network such as CMN.

최근 무선 네트워크는 사이버 물리 시스템 및 차세대 산업 자동화 시스템과 같은 크리티컬한 대형 응용 분야의 핵심 인프라가 되고 있다. 그러나, 무선 네트워크가 갖는 원천적인 링크 성능의 불확실성으로 인하여 전체 시스템의 안정성에 치명적 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 내 링크의 실시간 상태 정보 없이 응용의 요구 성능을 만족시킬 수 있는 능동형 무선 네트워크 최적화기를 제시한다. 특히, 제시하는 능동형 최적화기는 네트워크 상에서 최대 $\kappa$-개의 링크 결함이 발생하더라도 항시 성능을 보장할 수 있도록, 라우팅 경로와 트래픽 분산을 최적화하는 계층 교차적 방안이다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여, 제안된 능동형 네트워크 최적화기가 기존의 수동형 네트워크에 비하여 고강건성을 보장하는 것을 분석하였다. 또한, 능동형 네트워크는 수동형 네트워크의 주요 단점인 링크 상태 정보의 오류로 인한 성능 감쇄 및 네트워크 재구성과 같은 비용이 발생하지 않는다.
