In this paper, we propose a Cooperative Transmission Strategy using Entropy-based Relay Selection in Mobile Ad-hoc Wireless Sensor Networks(MAWSN) with Rayleigh Fading Environments. The main features and contributions of the proposed cooperative transmission strategy are as follows. First, entropy-based relay selection is used to improve data transmission reliability from a source node to a destination node. Second, we present a theoretical analysis model for the proposed cooperative transmission strategy with the outage probability of the end-to-end performance. The performance of our protocol is evaluated using analysis and simulation.

For effective IP based service implementation on the wireless network environments, wireless network including the ITS network have to support QoS guaranteed protocol such as a RSVP. RSVP is a resource reservation protocol for Internet environment, and its scalability makes easy to implement RSVP over the various IP transport technologies. But for the If based ITS wireless network environment, RSVP is not suitable, since by its path setup procedure characteristic. In the wireless access network for ITS service, when a mobile node moves to other domain it must perform registration procedure. But the registration procedure is time consuming steps, so if a RSVP session was already established in the previous domain, the RSYP session may be disconnected and the time to re establish a new RSVP session is long enough to cause serious packet loss. In this paper, we propose a pre-path reservation mechanism for applying the RSVP in wireless access networks for ITS. In the pre-path reservation mechanism, the resource reservation procedure occurred during a mobile node's handoff time. An access point in wireless access network performs this procedure when the mobile node attempts handoff The access point executes pre-path reservation procedure as a proxy, since the mobile node does not have IP address until the address allocation procedure is finished in a new domain.

In this paper, we propose a sink-location management and data-routing scheme to effectively support the mobile sink in solar-powered WSN. Battery-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have a limited lifetime due to their limited energy, but solar energy-based WSNs can be supplied with energy periodically and can operate forever. On the other hand, introduction of mobile sink in WSNs can solve some energy unbalance problem between sink-neighboring nodes and outer nodes which is one of the major challenges in WSNs. However, there is a problem that additional energy should be consumed to notify each sensor node of the location of the randomly moving mobile sink. In the proposed scheme, one of the nodes that harvests enough energy in each cluster are selected as the cluster head, and the location information of the mobile sink is shared only among the cluster heads, thereby reducing the location management overhead. In addition, the overhead for setting the routing path can be removed by transferring data in the opposite direction to the path where the sink-position information is transferred among the heads. Lastly, the access node is introduced to transmit data to the sink more reliably when the sink moves frequently.

The smooth handoff supported by the route optimization extension to the mobile IP standard protocol should support a packet buffering mechanism at the base station (BS), in order to reduce the degradation in TCP performance caused by packet losses within mobile network environments. The purpose of packet buffering at the BS is to recover the packets dropped during intersubnetwork handoff by forwarding the packets buffered at the previous BS to the new BS. However, when the mobile host moves to a congested BS within a new foreign subnetwork, the buffered packets forwarded by the previous BS are likely to be dropped. This subsequently causes global synchronization to occur, resulting in the degradation of the wireless link in the congested BS, due to the increased congestion caused by the forwarded burst packets. Thus, in this paper, we propose an implicit priority forwarding (IPF) packet buffering scheme as a solution to this problem within mobile IP based networks. In the proposed IPF method, the previous BS implicitly marks the priority packets being used for inter-subnetwork handoff. Moreover, the proposed modified random early detection (M-RED) buffer at the new congested BS guarantees some degree of reliability to the priority packets. The simulation results show that the proposed IPF packet buffering scheme increases the wireless link utilization and, thus, it enhances the TCP throughput performance in the context of various intersubnetwork handoff cases.

Sensors used in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have mostly limited capacity which affects the performance of their applications. One of the data-gathering methods is to use mobile sinks to visit these sensors so that they can save their limited battery energies from forwarding data packages to static sinks. The main disadvantage of employing mobile sinks is the delay of data collection due to relative low speed of mobile sinks. Since sensors have very limited memory capacities, whenever a mobile sink is too late to visit a sensor, that sensor's memory would be full, which is called a 'memory overflow', and thus, needs to be purged, which causes loss of collected data. In this work, a method is proposed to generate mobile sink tours, such that the number of overflows and the amount of lost data are minimized. Moreover, the proposed method does not need either the sensor locations or sensor memory status in advance. Hence, the overhead stemmed from the information exchange of these requirements are avoided. The proposed method is compared with a previously published heuristic. The simulation experiment results show the success of the proposed method over the rival heuristic with respect to the considered metrics under various parameters.

본 논문에서는 무선 이동 단말이 이기종 망의 다중 연결을 통해 높은 대역폭을 이용하고 또한 이기종 망의 동시사용을 통해 손실 패킷을 감소시킬 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 현재의 이동 단말은 하나의 네트워크를 통해 데이터를 전송한다. 하지만 제안하는 기법은 이동 단말이 WLAN과 3G망 등 다수의 망이 존재하는 환경에서 하나의 망을 사용하는 것이 아니라 이기종의 망의 동시 사용을 통해 대역폭을 넓게 사용한다. 이기종 망을 동시에 사용할 수 있는 지역으로 이동 단말이 이동하게 되면 이를 인지한 이동 단말은 서버에 이기종 무선망 동시사용 허용 요청을 하게 되고, 이를 수신한 서버는 다수의 프로토콜 연결을 통해 데이터를 전송하게 된다. 또한 제안하는 기법은 이동 단말이 다른 네트워크로 이동할 때 기존의 망을 끊지 않기 때문에 핸드오버 구간에서 발생하는 패킷 손실이 감소하게 된다. 제안하는 기법을 네트워크 시뮬레이션(NS-2)을 통해 실험하였고, 처리량이 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

한 소스로부터 다수의 싱크로의 데이터 멀티캐스팅은 통신 비용 절약 뿐 아니라 효율적인 에너지의 사용을 위해 이루어진다. 무선 센서 네트워크에서, 지금까지의 멀티캐스팅 위한 방안들은 대부분 하나의 소스와 다수의 고정적인 싱크들 사이의 최적화된 멀티캐스트 트리로 만들어진다. 하지만 전쟁 지역에서의 적군 감지 시스템, 재난지역 구조 시스템 등의 실질적인 응용들에서, 싱크는 자신의 미션을 수행하기 위해 이동성을 가지고 센서 네트워크를 돌아다닐 것이다. 불행히도 싱크의 이동성은 전체 멀티캐스트 트리의 빈번한 재구성을 초래하고 이것은 제한된 배터리를 가진 센서들의 에너지 고갈을 야기시킨다. 그러므로, 우리는 지역적인 멀티캐스트 트리의 재구성을 통해 다수의 이동 싱크를 지원하는 에너지 효율적인 멀티캐스트 프로토콜을 제안한다. 또한 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 방안이 기존 연구들 보다 에너지 자원 관리 측면에서 더 효과적임을 보인다.

Backoff mechanism serves as one of the key technologies in the MAC-layer of wireless mobile networks. The traditional Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB) mechanism in IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) and other existing backoff mechanisms poses several performance issues. For instance, the Contention Window (CW) oscillations occur frequently; a low delay QoS guarantee cannot be provided for real-time transmission, and services with different priorities are not differentiated. For these problems, we present a novel Multi-Priority service differentiated and Adaptive Backoff (MPAB) algorithm over IEEE 802.11 DCF for wireless mobile networks in this paper. In this algorithm, the backoff stage is chosen adaptively according to the channel status and traffic priority, and the forwarding and receding transition probability between the adjacent backoff stages for different priority traffic can be controlled and adjusted for demands at any time. We further employ the 2-dimensional Markov chain model to analyze the algorithm, and derive the analytical expressions of the saturation throughput and average medium access delay. Both the accuracy of the expressions and the algorithm performance are verified through simulations. The results show that the performance of the MPAB algorithm can offer a higher throughput and lower delay than the BEB algorithm.

본 논문에서 우리는 모바일 싱크노드를 가지는 모바일 센서 네트워크를 위한 경로배정 프로토콜을 제안합니다. 제안된 논문은 모바일 싱크를 도입하는 것에 의해 확장됩니다. 모바일 싱크는 그 주변의 클러스터 헤드로부터 센싱 데이터를 수집하는 가장 많은 멤버수를 가진 클러스터 헤드로 이동합니다. 이러한 이동은 싱크에 패킷을 보내는데 필요한 에너지소모를 감소시킵니다. 모의실험 결과는 제안된 프로토콜이 에너지 효율면에서 LEACH-ME를 능가하는 것을 보여줍니다.
