ZigBee is a standard for wireless personal area networks(WPANs) based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. It has been developed for low cost and low power consumption. There are two alternative routing schemes that have been proposed for the ZigBee standard: Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector(AODV) and tree routing. The tree routing forwards packets from sensors to a sink node based on the parent-child relationships established by the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC topology formation procedure. In order to join the network, a sensor node chooses an existing node with the strongest RSSI(Received signal strength indicator) signal as a parent node. Therefore, some nodes carry a large amount of traffic load and exhaust their energy rapidly. To overcome this problem, we introduce a new metric based on link quality and traffic load for load balancing. Instead of the strength of RSSI, the proposed scheme uses the new metric to choose a parent node during the topology formation procedure. Extensive simulation results using TOSSIM(TinyOS mote SIMulator) show that the CFR scheme outperforms well in comparison to the conventional tree routing scheme.

부하 분산 시스템의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 각 연산 노드들에 대한 부하수준을 잘 파악하여야 한다. 기존의 부하 분산 시스템들은 부하 측정기준(load metric)으로 실행 큐(run queue)에 있는 작업의 수(number of jobs)를 주로 이용한다. 그러나, 여러 프로세스들이 동시에 실행될 때, 각 프로세스의 실행이 서로의 성능에 미치는 정도인 프로세스간 독립수준(interprocess dependence level)을 고려하면 좀 더 정확하게 시스템 부하수준을 측정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 시스템 성능에 실제로 영향을 미치는 프로세스들의 수를 의미하는 유효 작업의 수(effective number of jobs)라는 부하 측정기준을 적용하여 성능이 향상된 부하 분산 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다.

Many routing algorithms, proposed for ad-hoc wireless networks, we based on source routing scheme and shortest path route has short lifetime especially in highly dense ad-hoc wireless networks. So some routing protocols such as SSA and ABR are considering the link stability and try finding more stable route. In this paper we propose a new routing algorithm considering utilization metric based on SSA routing algerian in Ad-Hoc networks. To reduce the bottleneck by specific metric of SSA, proposed scheme makes load balancing in networks by distributing the connections to several routes. For the evaluation of the performance we compare our scheme with existent routing protocol AODV and SSA. And the results, obtained using the ns-2 network simulation platform, show good performance that reduced the number of reconstructions remarkably by distributing the whole traffic to several routes when there are several stable routes.

Single path routing schemes using dynamic routing metric amy find out the dynamic network status and recompute paths to keep the traffic from the highly loaded regions of the network. This type of routing approach, however, may lead to a routing oscillation, and further, it cannot exploit multi-paths that may frequently exist in the real network. We propose a multipath routing scheme with dynamic load balancing, called MP-DLB, which is capable of reducing the overhead incurred by the multipath routing with dynamic load balancing approach while taking advantage of the high routing performance provided by the approach. According to the analysis of Internet packet traces which show that a high percentage of network traffic is destined for a small number of networks, MP-DLB applies the multipath routing with dynamic load balancing only to a limited subset of all the destinations in the network. For the rest of the destinations, it applies traditional single path routing scheme. This approach may reduce overall routing overheads by limiting the number of destinations to apply the more complicated routing scheme while it can keep the routing performance high by providing efficient routing for the most significant traffic in the routing performance. A series of simulations are done to analyze the performance of MP-DLB. The simulation results show that MP-DLB may effectively cope with the congestion and achieve high routing performance by distributing traffic streams that are generated from varying sources and heading toward a specific hot destination over multi-paths.

이동 애드혹 네트워크(Mobile Ad Hoc Network: MANET)는 유선 인프라 없이 구축된 무선 네트워크로 멀티 홉 통신을 수행할 수 있다. 인터넷 노드와 통신하고자 하는 MANET 노드에게 인터넷 연결을 가능하게 하는 방법이 요구되며 인터넷 연결은 인터넷과 MANET을 중계하는 인터넷 게이트웨이를 통해 지원된다. 게이트웨이들 간의 부하를 잘 분배한다면 네트워크 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있으므로, MANET 내에 여러 개의 인터넷 게이트웨이가 존재할 경우 이들 간의 부하균등화는 중요한 이슈이다. 본 연구에서는 부하균등화 기법을 제어 메시지의 플러딩 방법과 인터넷 게이트웨이를 선택하는 주체에 따라 4가지로 분류하며, 부하균등화 문제를 해결하기 위한 새로운 메트릭(metric)을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 홉 수와 라우팅 엔트리의 수를 메트릭으로 이용하는 새로운 기법의 성능이 기존 기법에 비하여 향상되었음을 보인다.

There has been growing interest in multicast technologies for wireless mesh networks with increasing demand for enjoying seamless multimedia broadcast service such as mobile IPTV anytime anywhere for any content on any device. This paper addressed the factors that should be considered when designing multicast algorithm in WMNs. Several routing metrics which are adapted for WMNs based multicast are described in detail to show that the main design goal for multicast metric is to achieve high throughput. Those metrics that take into account the characteristics of WMNs such as wireless broadcast advantage or channel diversity can arrange load balancing more effectively.

이동 애드 혹 네트워크(Mobile Ad Hoc Network; MANET)는 인프라 없이 빠른 구성이 가능한 네트워크이다. 하지만, 긴급 상황과 같은 특수한 경우가 아닌 일상생활에서 사용 가능한 네트워크로 발전하기 위해서는 MANET과 인터넷의 연결이 꼭 필요하다. 인터넷 노드와 MANET 노드 간의 통신을 가능하게 만드는 것은 인터넷과 MANET을 중계하는 인터넷 게이트웨이를 통해서 이다. 고장 감내(fault tolerance)를 지원하고 대역폭을 늘리기 위해 다중 인터넷 게이트웨이들을 MANET에 배치하여 사용할 수 있다. 다중 게이트웨이들 간의 부하를 잘 분배한다면 네트워크 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있으므로, MANET 내에 여러 개의 인터넷 게이트웨이가 존재할 경우 이들 간의 부하 균등화는 중요한 이슈이다. 본 연구에서는 노드들의 이동이 빈번하고 인터넷 게이트웨이들이 고정되어 있는 MANET 환경에서의 부하 균등화 인터넷 게이트웨이 발견 기법들을 제안한다. 기존에 제안된 부하 균등화 기법들로 Shortest Path (SP), Minimum Load Index(MLI), Running Variance Metric (RVM) 기법들을 소개하고 각 기법들에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과를 제공한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 이들 기법을 분석하여 문제점을 찾아내고 이를 수정 및 보완하여 새로운 기법들을 제안하며, 새로운 기법들의 성능이 기존 기법들에 비하여 향상되었음을 보인다.

The tactical network is system based on wireless networking technologies that ties together surveillance reconnaissance systems, precision strike systems and command and control systems. Several alternative paths exist in the network because it is connected as a grid to improve its survivability. In addition, the network topology changes frequently as forces and combatants change their network access points while conducting operations. However, most Internet routing standards have been designed for use in stable backbone networks. Therefore, tactical networks may exhibit a deterioration in performance when these standards are implemented. In this paper, we propose Priority based Multi-Path routing with Local Optimization(PMPLO) for a tactical backbone network. The PMPLO separately manages the global and local metrics. The global metric propagates to other routers through the use of a routing protocol, and it is used for a multi-path configuration that is guaranteed to be loop free. The local metric reflects the link utilization that is used to find an alternate path when congestion occurs, and it is managed internally only within each router. It also produces traffic that has a high priority privilege when choosing the optimal path. Finally, we conducted a simulation to verify that the PMPLO can effectively distribute the user traffic among available routers.
