We develop a low complexity cooperative diversity protocol for low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) based wireless sensor networks. A cross layer approach is used to obtain spatial diversity in the physical layer. In this paper, a simple modification in clustering algorithm of the LEACH protocol is proposed to exploit virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) based user cooperation. In lieu of selecting a single cluster-head at network layer, we proposed M cluster-heads in each cluster to obtain a diversity order of M in long distance communication. Due to the broadcast nature of wireless transmission, cluster-heads are able to receive data from sensor nodes at the same time. This fact ensures the synchronization required to implement a virtual MIMO based space time block code (STBC) in cluster-head to sink node transmission. An analytical method to evaluate the energy consumption based on BER curve is presented. Analysis and simulation results show that proposed cooperative LEACH protocol can save a huge amount of energy over LEACH protocol with same data rate, bit error rate, delay and bandwidth requirements. Moreover, this proposal can achieve higher order diversity with improved spectral efficiency compared to other virtual MIMO based protocols.

최근 무선 센서 네트워크(WSN : Wireless Sensor Network)에서 센서노드의 에너지 소모 균등성과 효율성을 향상시켜 전제 네트워크의 수명을 최대화하기 위한 다양한 계층적 라우팅 프로토콜들이 제안되고 있다. 특히, 멀티홉기법이 향상된 에너지 효율성과 실제 적용 가능한 모델로 큰 각광받고 있다. 멀티-홉 기법에서는 센서 노드사이 거리에 따라 발송 에너지 능동조절 가능하다고 가정한다. 그러나 무선센서의 물리적 특성을 고려해보면 멀티-홉 기법의 이 가정은 현재 기술로 실제 실현하기 어렵다. 이 논문에서는 센서노드의 전파범위를 기반으로 에너지 효율성을 향상시킨 저 전력 클러스터링 기법을 제안한다. 제안기법은 에너지 효율적이고 기존기법보다 실제 무선센서네트워크에 적용하기 용이하다.

We propose an advanced transaction scheduling protocol to improve the concurrency and to guarantee the mobility for the mobile database management systems. Mobility, portability, and wireless link In mobile computing environment can cause certain drawbacks, and thus it is more difficult to solve the concurrency control problems. However, a locking scheme should be used to guarantee the data consistency and to prevent the data conflicts. It is well known that data consistency is guaranteed by standard transaction scheduling schemes like two-phase locking (2PL). It has two of operation, lock and unlock. But 2PL does not give solution for mobile system. Altruistic Locking (AL) and classifying transactions, we adapt, can give solution for the previous problems. AL, as an advanced protocol, has attempted to reduce delay effects associated with lock release moment by the use of donation. In this paper, we extend those approaches and classify the transactions to reduce delay effects of short-lived transaction caused by long-lived transaction. In addition, we show efficient solution for the case of disconnection occurrence. Our protocol, namely, Mobile Altruistic Locking (MAL) is shown to be efficiently used in order to reduce delay effects and to guarantee database consistency in a state of the slippery connection in mobile database systems.

Ad Hoc 네트워크는 무선접속을 사용하는 이동 노드들이 중앙관리 없이 구성되는 네트워크이다. Ad Hoc 네트워크의 노드는 제한된 전원을 가지며, 따라서 효율적으로 에너지를 사용하는 라우팅 방식에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 기존의 석유 에너지 기반 라우팅은 특정 노드의 과도한 에너지 소모에 따른 노드들간의 공정성, 네트워크 전체의 과도한 에너지 소비 등의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 문제점을 개선할 수 있는 Clustering Based Energy-Aware Routing (CBEAR) 방식을 제안하였다. 성능분석 결과 제안된 방식은 노드의 생존성을 유지하면서 노드들간의 공정성과 네트워크 전체의 에너지 효율성을 개선함을 확인하였다.

통신시스템 소프트웨어는 대단히 크고 복잡하기 때문에, 소프트웨어 재사용성, 하드에어 투명성, 응용에 따른 소프트웨어 재구축의 용이성과 고성능을 위한 컴포넌트 기반 구조를 요구하고 있다. 이런 요구사항을 만족시키기 위하여, 기존 CORBA IIOP의 성능과 통신방식에 대한 분석을 통해 통신시스템에 적합한 공유 메모리 기반의 CORBA 연동 프로토콜을 설계하였다. 설계된 프로토콜은 동일한 인터페이스를 지원하며 동일 시스템 환경에서의 메시지 전송 오버헤드를 최소화시킨다. 다른 프로토콜과의 비교시험 결과 새로운 프로토콜은 약15%-200%의 성능향상을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에 제시된 프로토콜은 통신시스템을 위한 CORBA 기반의 컴포넌트 소프트웨어 개발을 위해 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Ring networks are very commonly exploited among local area and metropolitan area networks (LAN/MAN), whereas cells or small fixed-size packets are widely used in synchronized ring networks. In this paper, we present an analytical method for evaluating the delay-throughput performance of a MAC protocol with multiple self-tokens in a slotted ring network under uniform traffic. In our analysis, we introduce the stationary probability, which indicates the number of packets in a node. Also, it is assumed that each node has a sufficiently large amount of self-tokens, and a slotted ring has the symmetry. The analytical results with respect to delay-throughput performance have similar values to computer simulated ones. Furthermore, in order to achieve fair access under non-uniform traffic, we propose an adaptive MAC protocol, where the number of self-tokens in a node dynamically varies, based on the number of packets transmitted within a specified period. In the proposed protocol, when the number of packets transmitted by a node within a specified period is larger than a specified threshold, the node decreases the number of self-tokens in a per-node distributed method. That results in creating free slots in the ring, thus all nodes can obtain an equal opportunity to transmit into the ring. Performance results obtained by computer simulation show that our proposed protocol can maintain throughput fairness under non-uniform traffic.

최근 자기간섭제거 기술의 발전으로 무선 네트워크에서 전이중통신이 가능하게 되었다. 전이중통신은 같은 채널에서 동시에 송/수신을 할 수 있기 때문에 차세대 무선통신기술로 주목 받고 있다. 기존 MAC(Medium Access Control) 프로토콜들은 반이중통신을 기반으로 설계되었기 때문에 전이중통신에 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전이중 MAC 프로토콜을 설계할 때 고려해야 될 사항에 대해 논의하고, 이를 바탕으로 새로운 전이중 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 제안된 MAC 프로토콜과 기본 전이중통신을 비교하여 성능향상을 확인한다.

Since Internet Protocol (IP) is the most important protocol in Next Generation Networks (NGNs), 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) utilizes Session Initial Protocol (SIP) based on IP as the base protocol for negotiating sessions in IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). Different from traditional circuit-switched network, in IMS, the media traffic and signaling are delivered through IP transport. The media traffic may affect the signaling efficiency in core network, due to traffic collisions and best effort packets delivery. This paper proposes a novel path-migration mechanism for enhancing the traffic efficiency in integrated NGN-IMS. The simulation results show that the interference and traffic collision can be reduce by applying proposed path-migration mechanism and the signaling efficiency in core network can be improved with higher system capability and voice quality.

We propose a new multipath-based reliable routing protocol on MANETs, Multipath-based Reliable routing protocol with Fast-Recovery of failures (MRFR). For reliable message transmission, MRFR tries to find the most reliable path between a source and a destination considering the end-to-end packet reception reliability of the routes. The established path consists of a primary path that is used to transmit messages, and the secondary paths that are used to recover the path when detecting failures on the primary path. After establishing the path, the source transmits messages through the primary path. If a node detects a link failure during message transmission, it can recover the path locally by switching from the primary to the secondary path. By allowing the intermediate nodes to locally recover the route failure, the proposed protocol can handle the dynamic topological change of the MANETs efficiently. The simulation result using the QualNet simulator shows that the MRFR protocol performs better than other protocols in terms of the end-to-end message delivery ratio and fault-tolerance capability.

Internet of Things(IoT) is a technology or environment that collects data by attaching sensors to objects and transmits the collected information to each other through wired / wireless communication in real time. It is expected that when the Internet of objects is activated, many objects can identify and recognize each other by themselves and provide various services to facilitate our lives through mutual information exchange. In addition, the internet market for things is growing rapidly each year, and various IT technologies are expected to converge. In the Internet environment of objects, data exchange technology between object devices, that is, message protocol, is classified as one of important technologies. In this paper, we examine various lightweight message protocols suitable for the Internet environment of objects, and compare the reliability of the CoAP protocol structure with the MQTT protocol for a limited environment. Finally, we confirm the reliability of TCP / TLS and WebSockets-based CoAP transmission protocol of IETF's CoRE WG that can use various transport layers other than UDP in Internet environment including cloud infrastructure.
