In this paper, we propose a reliable multicast scheme for the tactical wireless ad hoc network where the members share the situation and operation data. Our scheme consists of two phases to guarantee the reliability. During the dissemination phase, we utilizes an epidemic approach similar to gossip-based ad hoc routing. Then the group members interchange the message reception state information periodically so that they are able to recover missing packets from the other members. We evaluate the performance of our scheme through extensive simulations using the network simulator in comparison with other existing reliable multicast schemes in mobile ad hoc network. Our scheme shows higher packet delivery ratio regardless of the mobility and imposes much lower control overhead to the non-group members compared with the existing schemes.

Community network is a communication environment where heterogeneous devices can access and communicate with each other at any time and at any space to share information. To do so, mobile devices are required to be self-configured even in absence of communication infrastructures. Semi-infrastructured wireless ad-hoc network is a promising solution to meet with such a requirement. This paper proposes the VTC(virtual topology coordinator) system as an evaluation tool for examining network protocols that are intended to be deployed in the semi-infrastructured ad-hoc networks. VTC emulates multi-hops wireless network topology virtually using a mechanism of selective receiving MAC frame in a small area, where only a single hop communication is available. VTC system cannot consider all properties introduced in real wireless network, but do more wireless properties than verification through simulation.

Scalable routing is one of the key challenges in designing and operating large scale MANETs. Performance of routing protocols proposed so far is only guaranteed under various limitation, i.e., dependent of the number of nodes in the network or needs the location information of destination node. Due to the dependency to the number of nodes in the network, as the number of nodes increases the performance of previous routing protocols degrade dramatically. We propose Cluster Overlay Dynamic Source Routing (CODSR) protocol. We conduct performance analysis by means of computer simulation under various conditions - diameter scaling and density scaling. Developed algorithm outperforms the DSR algorithm, e.g., more than 90% improvement as for the normalized routing load. Operation of CODSR is very simple and we show that the message and time complexity of CODSR is independent of the number of nodes in the network which makes CODSR highly scalable.

In this paper a novel medium access control mechanism is investigated as a means to support real-time services. The primary goal is to provide constant-bit-rate voice call services to pairs of autonomous mobile nodes operating in ad hoc networks. Here, a time-slot reservation based MAC is considered to provide real-time voice calls and a new MAC called the time-slot reservation coordination function(TRCF) is presented. In addition to this isochronous type MAC protocol development, the proposed protocol is modeled using a Markov chain in order to predict its behavior. The performance of TRCF is analytically derived and the performance measures such as average wait time taken for a call connection and throughput are obtained.

AODV routing protocol, one of the most studied routing protocols for the Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), uses the number of hops as the metric to choose a path from a source node to a destination node. If the path is deteriorated, it will cause many problems to the communication. In order to improve the performance of the network, we propose AuM-AODV routing protocol that contains an auxiliary metric besides the number of hops. Nodes using AuM-AODV use control packets such as Route Request (RREQ), Route Reply (RREP), and HELLO to exchange information about network topology like AODV routing protocol. AuM-AODV routing protocol is implemented in NS-3 for performance evaluation. We use three performance metrics, that is to say, throughput, packet delivery ratio, and average end-to-end delay. According to numerical results, the new AuM-AODV routing protocol has better performance over three performance metrics than AODV routing protocol.

Wireless devices can communicate between each other without existing infrastructure in mobile Ad-hod network. Ad hoc networks can be used under difficult conditions, where it is difficult to construct infrastructures, such as shadowing areas, disaster areas, war area, and so on. In order to support to considerable and various wireless services, more spectrum resources are needed. However, efficient utilization of the frequency resource is difficult because of spectrum scarcity and the conventional frequency regulation. Ad-hoc networks employing cognitive radio (CR) system that guarantee high spectrum utilization provide effective way to increase the network capacity. In this paper, we simulate and compare the performance of conventional single and cooperative spectrum sensing with CR system using ad-hoc networks. And we demonstrate performance improvement by analyzing the system performance.

We propose a tree-based integrated network of infrastructure network and mobile ad hoc network to effectively support Mobile IP for mobile ad hoc networks and also proposed a network management protocol for formation and management of the integrated network and a tree-based routing protocol suitable for the integrated network. The integrated network has fixed gateways(IGs) that connect two hybrid networks and the mobile nodes in the network form a small sized trees based on the mobile nodes that are in the communication distance with a IG. A new node joins an arbitrary tree and is registered with its HA and FA along tree path. In addition, the proposed protocol establishes a route efficiently by using the tree information managed in every node. We examined the effectiveness of the tree-based integrated network for some possible network deployment scenarios and compared our routing protocol against the Mobile IP supported AODV protocol.

Since the mobile node acts as the router, the Mobile Ad Hoc network requires the security methods that are different from that of network of the wire environment. Also, since the total network can't be included in the transmission area of the mobile node, when one node sends the message to the other node, we need the middle node. But if the middle node is the unreliable malicious node, we can't guarantee the secure message transmission. Also, because all nodes configuring the network are the mobile nodes, they use the restricted battery capacity and the restricted resources. Therefore, because we have trouble performing the encryption that many resources are required when we sending the message, it is vulnerable to the security than the network of the wire environment. Last, because the network topology continues to change by the mobility of nodes configuring the network, we need the security measure that matches the network characteristics. We suggest the routing attack detection for performance enhancement of AODV protocol in Mobile Ad Hoc networks.

For the real time monitoring and tracking of shipping container which is one of the core objects for global logistics, Wireless Ad-Hoc Network technology might be needed in stacking environments such as ports, yards and ships. In this paper, we propose a container network routing protocol suitable for port or yard stacking environments which include some constraints such as shadow area problem from metal material, frequent movement of container, etc. With this protocol in which a mesh network algorithm is applied, every container data packet can be delivered to the sink node reliably even with frequent join/leave of container nodes. As soon as a node on path gets malfunction, alternative backup path is supported with notice to neighbor node, which makes constant total optimal path. We also verified that the performance of proposed protocol is better than AODV, one of previous major MANet(Mobile Ad-Hoc Network) protocol with a function for alternative path, which says the proposed protocol is better for frequent join/leave and variable link quality.

In this paper, a multicast mechanism is proposed for intermittently disconnected networks where the nodes move forward in formation or within a limited area. The proposed scheme extends the well-known tree-based multicast routing mechanism called MAODV by modifying the tree construction and data delivery scheme. Especially, an algorithm is introduced which determines the flooding hop count k estimating the degree of the movement of children in the tree. The performance evaluation was done by the simulation and the proposed scheme was compared with MAODV and two multicast routing schemes for DTN (Disruption Tolerant Network) including the Epidemic routing and ST-multicast. The evaluation results show that our scheme improves the original MAODV from the aspect of tree reconstruction events and message delivery ratio. Compared with the Epidemic routing scheme, our scheme achieves 85% message delivery ratio with less than 50% message delivery overhead.
