In this paper, we present a multi-chain based hierarchical topology control algorithm (MCHTC) for wireless sensor networks. In this algorithm, the topology control process using static clustering is divided into sensing layer that is composed by sensor nodes and multi-hop data forwarding layer that is composed by leader nodes. The communication cost and residual energy of nodes are considered to organize nodes into a chain in each cluster, and leader nodes form a tree topology. Leader nodes are elected based on the residual energy and distance between themselves and the base station. Analysis and simulation results show that MCHTC outperforms LEACH, PEGASIS and IEEPB in terms of network lifetime, energy consumption and network energy balance.

Wireless LAN technology is complementary to 3G systems and could be used to provide high bandwidth hotspot coverage, for example in railway stations and offices, in order to provide the high bandwidth video and broadband services such as those emerging on DSL fixed access. The IST Projects BRAIN and MIND have investigated a number of key technical enablers for such a system beyond 3G. These include scenarios and business models, design of an all-IP access network, consideration of ad hoc network extensions, enhancing Wireless LAN efficiency and compatibility with IP and, finally, terminal middleware and signalling for rapid adaptations to network QoS changes.

In this paper, we proposed a new MANET (Mobile Ad hoc Networks) technology of routing protocol. The MANET has a mobility formation of mobile nodes in the wireless networks. Wireless network have two types architecture: the Tree based multicast and shared tree based. The two kind's architecture of general wireless networks have difficult to solve the problems existing in the network, such as connectivity, safety, and reliability. For this purpose, as using that ADDMRP (Ad hoc network Doppler effect-based for Dynamic Multicast Routing Protocol), this study gives the following suggestion for new topology through network durability and Omni-directional information. The proposed architectures have considered the mobility location, mobility time, density, velocity and simultaneous using node by Doppler effects and improved the performance.

In this paper, we implement Mobile AP system, which has Multihoming function providing vertical handover between WiBro and HSDPA networks. We monitor packet drop in networks during binding updates(BU) and acknowledgement(BA) and analyze handover latency. We propose methodology to reduce handover latency and describe the further development direction of Mobile AP system.

In this paper, we proposes a multi-ring based mobile sink location scheme for solar-powered wireless sensor network (WSN). The proposed scheme maintains the multi-rings in which nodes keep the current location of sink node. With the help of nodes in multi-rings, each node can locate the sink node efficiently with low-overhead. Moreover, because our scheme utilizes only surplus energy of a node, it can maintain multiple rings without degrading any performance of each node. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme shows much better latency and scalability with lower energy-consumption than the existing single-ring based scheme.

무선 Ad-hoc 네트워크는 이동 노드로 구성되는 동적 네트워크이다. 일반적으로 Ad-hoc 네트워크에서 노드는 랩탑, PDA, 모바일 폰 등과 같은 장치로 블루투스나 IEEE 802.11(위피) 네트워크 인터페이스의 특징을 가지고 분산방식으로 통신을 한다. 이러한 Ad-hoc 네트워크의 특성에 기인한 이동성은 라우팅 프로토콜 디자인에 중요한 특징적 요소가 된다. 본 논문에서는 토폴로지 변화에 잘 적응하는 향상된 경로 관리 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘에 주된 특징은 경로 실패를 방지하기 위해서 링크 단절 전에 다음-홉 노드를 대체 이웃 노드에 스위칭 하는 방식이다. NS2를 이용한 무선 Ad-hoc 네트워크의 다양한 환경에서 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과 제안된 알고리즘 성능이 기존의 AODV 프로토콜에 비교하여 향상되었음을 보인다.

The current cellular communications are optimized for low mobility users, meaning that their performance is degraded at high speed. Therefore, passengers in a high-speed train experience very poor radio link quality due to the significantly large number of simultaneous handovers. In addition, wireless data traffic is expanding exponentially in trains, subways and buses due to the widespread use of smartphones and mobile devices. To solve the inherent problem of cellular communication networks and meet the growing traffic demand, this paper proposes the mobile hotspot network of a millimeter-wave communication system as a mobile wireless backhaul. This paper describes the physical layer design of uplink and downlink in the proposed system, and the performances of uplink and downlink are evaluated under Rician fading channel conditions. The implemented baseband prototype of the proposed millimeter-wave communication modem is presented. This system can provide a Gbps data rate service in high-speed trains carrying hundreds of wireless Internet users.

차세대 모바일 인터넷의 진화에 따라 2G, 3G, 4G, B4G 이동통신 무선접속네트워크가 공존하게 되며, 기존의 통신 서비스 제공자들은 통합 서비스 제공자로 융합되고, 다수의 가상 서비스 제공자들이 발생하게 될 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 복잡한 미래의 융합 서비스를 제공하기 위해서 미래 인터넷에서는 무선 액세스 네트워크가 융합되고 다양한 서비스 제공자들에 의해 공유되는 무선 네트워크 가상화가 필수적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 미래 무선 액세스 네트워크 상에서 여러 서비스 제공자들의 다양한 무선 액세스 기술들이 유연하게 통합 운영될 수 있는 무선 액세스 네트워크 가상화를 위한 망 구조와 가상화 시나리오에 대해서 고찰한다. 본 논문에서 도출된 차세대 이동통신 네트워크를 위한 무선 액세스 망 구조 및 가상화 시나리오는 앞으로 무선 액세스 네트워크 가상화 알고리즘 개발을 위한 기틀 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Recently, cross-layer design approach has been greatly attracting researchers' attention as an alternative for improving the performance of wireless data networks. The main reason why cross-layer approaches are particularly well suited for wireless networks is that there exists direct coupling between physical layer and upper layers. Therefore, with cross-layer approach, the protocol designers try to exploit the interaction between layers and promote adaptability at all layers, based on information exchange between layers. In this article we focus on the cross-layer engineering for high data-rate mobile Internet services through cellular networks. First, the general considerations in cross-layer engineering are outlined. Then, we discuss the common approach in literatures, which mainly deals with adaptability in physical and medium access control layer. Finally, we show that the cross-layer engineering taking account of all layers is more adequate for the mobile Internet services cellular network.

Recent works have validated the possibility of reducing the energy consumption in wireless heterogeneous networks, achieved by switching on/off some base stations (BSs) dynamically. In this paper, to realize energy conservation, the discrete time Markov Decision Process (DTMDP) is developed to match up the BS switching operations with the traffic load variations. Then, an asynchronous decision-making algorithm, which is based on the Bellman equation and the on/off priorities of the BSs, is firstly put forward and proved to be optimal in this paper. Through reducing the state and action space during one decision, the proposed asynchronous algorithm can avoid the "curse of dimensionality" occurred in DTMDP frequently. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to validate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed asynchronous on/off strategies.
