Location services are used in mobile ad hoc and hybrid networks to locate either the geographic position of a given node in the network or a data item. One of the main usages of position location services is presented in location based routing algorithms. In particular, geographic routing protocols can route messages more efficiently to their destinations based on the destination node's geographic position, which is provided by a location service. In this paper, we propose an adaptive location service on the basis of fuzzy logic called FHLS (Fuzzy Hierarchical Location Service) for mobile ad hoc networks. The adaptive location update scheme using the fuzzy logic on the basis of the mobility and the call preference of mobile nodes is used by the FHLS. The performance of the FHLS is to be evaluated by a simulation, and compared with that of existing HLS scheme.

In the MIPv6 network, when mobile nodes move into new newtwork, they need to find the new access router and points(AR/AP) for the newtwork. Unless they are not connected to authorized AR/APs, they can be exposed to a lot of attacks. In this paper we propose a protocol to authenticate AR/AR and MN each other. This protocol is based on the public key scheme which is used in the SEcure Neighbor Discovery(SEND) protocol.

Network Mobility (NEMO) basic support protocol doesn't execute the process of route optimization and has not presented the particular security mechanism in other blocks except hi-directional tunnel between Mobile Router (MR) and its Home Agent (HA). Therefore in this paper we process secure route optimization courses through authenticated binding update protocol between MR and its Correspondent Node (CN) and the protocol of the competency of mandate between MR and its Mobile Network Node (MNN); its block also uses an bi-directional tunnel as the block between MR and its HA. The address of each node are generated by the way of Cryptographically Generated Address (CGA) for proving the ownership of address. Finally we analyze the robustness of proposed protocol using security requirements of MIPv6 and existing attacks and the efficiency of this protocol using the connectivity recovery and end-to-end packet transmission delay time.

This paper proposes an adaptive inter-agent communication protocol to considerably reduce the amount of agent location information maintained by each service node and the message delivery time while avoiding the dependency of the home node of a mobile agent. To satisfy this goal, the protocol enables each mobile agent to autonomously leave its location information only on some few of its visiting nodes. Also, it may significantly reduce the agent cache updating frequency of each service node by keeping the identifier of the location manager of each agent in the smart agent location cache of the node. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol reduces about $76%{\sim}80%$ of message delivery overhead and about $76%{\sim}79%$ of the amount of agent location information each service node should maintain compared with the traditional one.

Self-organization of distributed wireless sensor nodes is a critical issue in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), since each sensor node has limited energy, bandwidth, and scalability. These issues prevent sensor nodes from actively collaborating with the other types of sensor nodes deployed in a typical heterogeneous and somewhat hostile environment. The automated self-organization of a WSN becomes more challenging as the number of sensor nodes increases in the network. In this paper, we propose a dynamic self-organized architecture that combines tree topology with a drawn-grid algorithm to automate the self-organization process for WSNs. In order to make our proposed architecture scalable, we assume that all participating active sensor nodes are unaware of their primary locations. In particular, this paper presents two algorithms called active-tree and drawn-grid. The proposed active-tree algorithm uses a tree topology to assign node IDs and define different roles to each participating sensor node. On the other hand, the drawn-grid algorithm divides the sensor nodes into cells with respect to the radio coverage area and the specific roles assigned by the active-tree algorithm. Thus, both proposed algorithms collaborate with each other to automate the self-organizing process for WSNs. The numerical and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed dynamic architecture performs much better than a static architecture in terms of the self-organization of wireless sensor nodes and energy consumption.

Two-way ranging methods such as TWR and SDS-TWR have been considered for many ranging systems because these methods are useful in the absence of synchronization. To estimate the location of a mobile node, complicated ranging procedures consisting of ranging frames between an anchor node and the mobile node are performed. Supporting multiple mobile nodes such as a few hundreds or thousands and several anchor nodes, the ranging procedures have the fatal disadvantage of processing delay and inefficient traffic bandwidth. On the other hand, the one-way ranging method is simple and fast, but susceptible to network synchronization. In this paper, we propose a method to modify asynchronous ranging equations to establish exact frequency or frequency offset, a method to estimate frequencies or frequency offsets, and a method to establish post-facto synchronization with anchor nodes. The synchronization for a node pair is adapted using instantaneous time information and corresponding difference of distances can be determined. We evaluate the performance of TWR, SDS-TWR and proposed ranging algorithms.

Load balancing is a significant technique to prolong a network's lifetime in sensor network. This paper introduces a hybrid approach named as Load Distributing Hybrid Routing Protocol (LDHRP) composed with a border node routing protocol (BDRP) and greedy forwarding (GF) strategy which will make the routing effective, especially in mobility scenarios. In an existing solution, because of the high network complexity, the data delivery latency increases. To overcome this limitation, a new approach is proposed in which the source node transmits the data to its respective destination via border nodes or greedily until the complete data is transmitted. In this way, the whole load of a network is evenly distributed among the participating nodes. However, border node is mainly responsible in aggregating data from the source and further forwards it to mobile sink; so there will be fewer chances of energy expenditure in the network. In addition to this, number of hop counts while transmitting the data will be reduced as compared to the existing solutions HRLBP and ZRP. From the simulation results, we conclude that proposed approach outperforms well than existing solutions in terms including end-to-end delay, packet loss rate and so on and thus guarantees enhancement in lifetime.

Mobility of sensor node is one of the rising issues in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). However, current security researches on WSN only consider static environments. Thus they are not sufficient to be deployed in the dynamic environment where the resource is limited. In this paper, we propose the efficient node authentication and key exchange protocol that reduces the overhead in node re-authentication.

센서 네트워크(Sensor Network)는 항공기(Aircraft)로 살포되는 센서 노드(Sensor Node)들로 구성된다. 자연적인 장애물 즉, 바람, 나무 등이나 빌딩과 같은 조형물로 인해 적절한 위치에 센서 노드들이 배치되지 못하여 불필요한 에너지 소비와 전송 지연 등이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 기존 논문에서 사용하던 고정 노드(Static Node) 뿐만 아니라 이동 노드(Mobile Node)를 센서 필드(Sensor Field)에 배치 할 것이다. 각 센서 노드의 정보를 싱크(Sink)노드가 수집 분석 후 본 논문에서 제시한 제안에 따라 이동 노드 위치 변경하여 센서 네트워크 라우팅(Routing)의 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다.

This paper studies the task of embedding nodes with multiple graphs representing multiple information channels, which is useful in a large volume of network clustering tasks. By learning a node using multiple graphs, various characteristics of the node can be represented and embedded stably. Existing studies using multi-channel networks have been conducted by integrating heterogeneous graphs or limiting common nodes appearing in multiple graphs to have similar embeddings. Although these methods effectively represent nodes, it also has limitations by assuming that all networks provide the same amount of information. This paper proposes a method to overcome these limitations; The proposed method gives different weights according to the source graph when embedding nodes; the characteristics of the graph with more important information can be reflected more in the node. To this end, a novel method incorporating a multi-channel gate layer is proposed to weigh more important channels and ignore unnecessary data to embed a node with multiple graphs. Empirical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed multi-channel-based embedding methods.
