A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a group of independent mobile computing nodes that consist of a multi-hop wireless network without a central administration or any infrastructure. Every node that wants to join a MANET must obtain an address for communication. Having a centralized DHCP server that provides addresses to nodes, we can easily and automatically obtain addresses. However, a MANET lacks any fixed infrastructure such as a DHCP server. We therefore propose a distributed address autoconfiguration approach for a MANET using a reserved address and optimistic Duplicated Address Detection (DAD). The reserved address helps to reduce the allocation latency, and the optimistic DAD guarantees the uniqueness of addresses and lessens communication overhead. We then suggest methods of handling network partition and network merging situations, and go on to evaluate our approach through simulations. The simulation result shows that our scheme guarantees the uniqueness of allocated address and considerably improves allocation latency and communication overheads.

WiBro는 IEEE 802.16에 이동성을 추가한 것으로서 현재 IPv4만을 지원하는데, IPv6를 적용할 경우 발생할 수 있는 문제점들은 최근에 이르러서야 이슈가 되고 있다. WiBro MAC은 IP 프로토콜 설계시 기본이 되는 이더넷과 많은 차이점이 존재한다. 망 구성요소들의 점대다(point-to-multipoint) 연결 형태와 상향링크 멀티캐스트 불가능으로 인해 정상적인 IP 멀티캐스팅/브로드캐스팅 동작이 어렵기 때문이다. 또한 이더넷과 같이 48비트 MAC 주소를 사용하는 것이 아니라 16비트 CID를 사용하기 때문에 IPv6를 적용할 경우 IPv6 Address Auto-Configuration, Neighbor Discovery, Duplicate Address Detection, Multicast Listener Discovery 등에서 정상적인 동작이 불가능하다. 이에 본 논문은 WiBro의 IPv6에서 MLD 프로토콜 적용방안과 무선자원을 효과적으로 사용하는 방법을 제시한다.

For the auto-configuration of diverse hosts and automation of network management as many electronic machines and industrial components are becoming connected to Internet, it is possible to use autoconfiguration using DHCP and network management protocol such as SNMP, CMIP. But these technologies are not developed maturely and lack various standardizations yet because these are designed for restrictive purposes in the past. The new working group "Zeroconf" is made in IETF at March, 2000, it is aimed for making standards of autoconfiguration which is applied to impromptu ad-hoc networks in automobiles, trains, planes and home network or mobile networks. In this paper, we introduce the IPv6 based autoconfiguration technologies such as IP interface configuration, translation between host name and IP address, IP multicast address allocation and service discovery. Finally, trends of standardization in Zeroconf working group will be shown. be shown.

This paper focuses on message complexity performance analysis of MANET AAPs in reference to link errors generated by the mobile wireless nodes. To obtain the message complexity performance of AAPs in reference to the link error probability ($P_e$), an enhancement was made by proposing the retransmission limit (S) to be computed for error recovery (based on the link error probability), and then for each of the AAPs the control procedures for the retransmission limit have been properly included. The O-notation has been applied in analyzing the upper bound of the number of messages generated by a MANET group of N nodes. Based on a link error probability range of $P_e=0$ to 0.8, the AAPs investigated in this paper are Strong DAD, Weak DAD with proactive routing protocol (WDP), Weak DAD with on-demand routing protocol (WDO), and MANETconf. Based on the simulation results and analysis of the message complexity, for nominal situations, the message complexity of WDP was lowest, closely followed by WDO. The message complexity of MANETconf is higher than that of WDO, and Strong DAD results to be most complex among the four AAPs.

As IPv4 addresses are exhausting, the use of IPv6 addresses is increasing. IPv6 environment provides address auto-configuration function. If addresses are allocated to each host automatically, network management system has difficulty in inspecting every IP of all devices and keeping the relevant informations. Also, as IP addresses are configured automatically, problems such as malicious users accessing network devices with no restriction can occur. To solve these problems, managing and blocking of malicious user is necessary. In this paper, we suggest agent system for searching of host computer and blocking network access which manages and protects the major network resources efficiently by searching host and blocking unauthorized host access to network in IPv6 environment. According to the test results of function of this agent system in IPv6 environment, we have checked that this system performs searching and blocking function normally.

Collecting and managing the sensor information through the Internet is critical to effectively manage and utilize the sensor information. The interworking technique of the sensor network and internet is required to realize the desirable condition for managing and utilizing the sensor information. Among many interworking techniques, the translation technique using the gateway had been widely studied. However, the technique which mounts IP-based Internet protocols directly on the sensor node is getting more attention recently. Particularly, IPv6 is suitable for the communication protocol for the sensor network, because its features, such as abundant address space or address auto-configuration, are well matched with the sensor network. In this paper, we design the tiny UDP/IPv6 protocol functions which are suitable for the sensor network environment, and we implemented the functions with TinyOS based nesC. After we examined the simulation results of by using TOSSIM and TinyViz, we carried out the experimental performance evaluation for the program by mounting the tiny UDP/IPv6 on the sensor node (Mote).
