In this paper, we propose a Cooperative Routing using ARQ-based Transmission (CRARQ) in Mobile Ad-hoc Wireless Sensor Networks (MAWSN). The goals of the CRARQ are to improve both the efficiency of transmission and the reliability of transmission together. The main features and contributions of the proposed CRARQ for supporting these goals are as follows. First, CRARQ uses a reactive concept to construct a route from a source to a destination. Second, CRARQ chooses the most stable relay at each hop along the route by mobility-based strategy. Third, cooperative transmission using the ARQ technique which can improve reliability is used at each hop to send data packets from source to destination. Finally, we present a theoretical analysis model for the proposed CRARQ. The performance evaluation of our protocol is implemented via simulation using Optimized Network Engineering Tool (OPNET) and analysis. The results of both simulation and analysis show that CRARQ achieves the improved packet delivery ratio (PDR) and outage probability.

As the population of camping is increased in campsites and auto camp sites, the electrical equipment can safely supply electricity to users in a variety of electricity bill policy is required in the campsite. In this paper, we develop the vending machine for electricity that can control the outdoor electrical outlet from the management server using the Z-Wave WPAN and android mobile application. The developed vending machine for electricity consists of the management server, the controller, the outdoor outlet box, and the mobile application. The management server provides reservation and electricity bill payment to users. The management server controls the electrical outlet box through the controller to safely supply electricity to users. The controller that is a relay device between the management server and the switch controls switches based on Z-Wave mesh network. Outdoor electrical outlet box has 2 meter switches. We receive the relevant authorization to provide commercial electricity services using the outdoor electrical outlet box in the campsite.

In the 3GPP LTE systems, SC-FDMA is adopted for the uplink owing to its good PAPR efficiency. In the frequency domain, however, the performance of SC-FDMA is degraded due to frequency selective fading. As a compromise, a Hybrid OFDMA/SC-FDMA was proposed in the LTE-Advanced systems. Hybrid scheme uses SC-FDMA in the edge of cell area, while it uses OFDMA nearby the base-station. In this paper, uplink relays based on hybrid scheme is proposed to increase the performance of the 3GPP LTE systems. With different positions of mobile and relay, the proposed scheme can adaptively select SC-FDMA or OFDMA to improve the link performance. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves a better performance in terms of end-to-end BER and power consumption.

One of the most important VANET applications is providing active safety by broadcasting emergency messages. In order to prevent broadcast storm of flooding-based broadcasting scheme in which any node receiving message will rebroadcast, the existing protocols use the different methods to limit the number of relay nodes. Nevertheless, the existing protocols have low delivery ratio with high traffic density and cause message overhead. Currently, the dramatic increase in the number of vehicles equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) and onboard radar created new application scenarios that were not feasible before. Consequently, we proposed a broadcasting protocol that selects relay node by using GPS-based position information and detecting neighboring vehicles with the help of onboard radar to. Simulation results show that our proposed protocol has better performance than the existing schemes.

Recently to introduce new services of ultra-high speed wireless access and systems beyond the 3rd generation mobile communication, 5 GHz band has been highly interested. As a way of getting the required frequency, it is considered that microwave relay bands below 6 GHz, which shows a slow decrease in demand and less cost-effectiveness, should be moved to other bands above 6 GHz. In this paper, as a tool for analyzing microwave link design and its service quality, the outage prediction based upon Vigants & Barnett＇s model is reviewed. To show outage and availability calculation, simulations are performed for the operating 4 GHz radio sites, and some results and features regarding frequency movement to 6.7 as well as 8 GHz are also discussed in terms of diversity techniques, bit error rate, and availability As the results, it is confirmed that only the diversity techniques of space or space and frequency can satisfy the annual objective of availability irrespective of frequency movement.

We propose a spectrally efficient relaying scheme with multiple antennas for cellular networks which consist of base station (BS), relay station (RSs), and mobile stations (MSs). In general, a BS has more antennas than an RS or an MS. By using multiple antennas, a BS can support another MS with the same frequency resource, where an RS transmits data to a specific MS. In this case, the MS receiving data form an RS also receives the interference form the BS because the BS also uses the same frequency resource at the same time. In this paper, we propose ing and pre-whitening techniques as a pre-coding scheme at the BS for reducing the interference at the MS receiving data from the RS.

In this paper, we propose the structures of the NBTC (Narrow-Beam Trisector Cell) and the WBTC(Wide-Beam Trisector Cell) in which directional antennas both at the base station and at the relay station are used. We analyze and compare total capacity of the both systems taking the co-channel interference into consideration for two channel models. Through analysis, we find the effect of LOS (Lind of Sight) path to the total capacity of NBTC structure and that of WBTC structure. Our work may be useful as a guideline to control the interference for the next generation mobile communication and WiBro systems using multi-hop relays.

To complete the "anywhere" mobile service there should not be shaded areas. However, it is never economical to deploy BS's (Base Stations) in a low population density area due to the low resource utilization. We propose a design technique to install RS's(Relay Stations) which are cheaper than BS's and find the condition in which the proposed technique is acceptible. The proposed design technique aims to allocate the frequency and time resources to RS's to minimize the transmission rate degradation due to interferences between RS's as well as to maximize the parallelism in transmission. We showed by simulation that the proposed technique achieves cost benefits when the expected traffic is less than 20.32 percent of the total BS capacity. The proposed technique is compatible with the IEEE 802.16j, thus can be extended to multi-hop configuration.

Due to limited resource, marine communication is severely limited when compared to communications in land. Radio relay facilities, etc. based on a wired network through a long distance communication is possible. In addition, the aircraft is in the air, the ground-based network service based on long-range straight-line distance and elevation (LOS: Line of Sight) communications. On the other hand, the distance in a straight line to the sea, the sea level because communication is limited or through satellite, underwater communications relay equipment installed in the communication scheme has been investigated.. In this paper, using TCP-based real-time joint maritime security communication links were studied. Harsh marine environment, real-time communication that can provide secure communications and propose a LINK joint. In this study, more secure, and convenient communications at sea, a plan was presented to you.

We propose a network node search scheme to address the network fragmentation due to high node mobility in the VANET. VANET is very similar to MANET in that a multi-hop ad-hoc network is configured by wireless communication between vehicles without any network infrastructure. However, high speed mobility, high node density, and frequent topology change induce frequent network fragmentation so that overall network traffic can be increased. In this paper, new broadcasting protocol called an adaptive relay node search protocol is proposed to decrease the network fragmentation. It reduces the network fragmentation and network traffic by researching nodes outside the dangerous area only in case of network fragmentation. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol decreases network fragmentation by up to 39.9% and increase informed rate by up to 41.9% compared to the existing broadcasting protocol.
