In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), cluster based data routing protocols have the advantages of reducing energy consumption and link maintenance cost. Unfortunately, most of clustering protocols have been designed for uniformly distributed sensor networks. However, some urgent situations do not allow thousands of sensor nodes being deployed uniformly. For example, air vehicles or balloons may take the responsibility for deploying sensor nodes hence leading a normally distributed topology. In order to improve energy efficiency in such sensor networks, in this paper, we propose a new cluster formation algorithm named DAEEC (Density Aware Energy-Efficient Clustering). In this algorithm, we define two kinds of clusters: Low Density (LD) clusters and High Density (HD) clusters. They are determined by the number of nodes participated in one cluster. During the data routing period, the HD clusters help the neighbor LD clusters to forward the sensed data to the central base station. Thus, DAEEC can distribute the energy dissipation evenly among all sensor nodes by considering the deployment density to improve network lifetime and average energy savings. Moreover, because the HD clusters are densely deployed they can work in a manner of our former algorithm EEVAR (Energy Efficient Variable Area Routing Protocol) to save energy. According to the performance analysis result, DAEEC outperforms the conventional data routing schemes in terms of energy consumption and network lifetime.

Ad-hoc 네트워크는 중앙의 특별한 관리 체계 없이 기존의 유선 네트워크 또는 기지국을 사용하지 않는 이동 호스트들만으로 구성된 네트워크를 말한다. 최근 Ad-hoc 멀티홉 통신시스템과 같은 확장된 개념의 Ad-hoc 망으로 범위가 넓어지고 있어 QoS에 대한 요구 수준이 증대되고 있다. Ad-hoc 네트워크는 잦은 망 구성의 변화, 라우터의 수, 제한된 사용 자원 등 기존 유선 네트워크와는 다른 특성들을 갖게 된다. 기존의 유선 네트워크에서 사용하던 라우팅 프로토콜들을 무선 ad-hoc 네트워크에 그대로 적용시킨다면 많은 문제점들이 발생하게 된다. AODV 라우팅 프로토콜은 Ad-hoc 네트워크 이동 노드에서 사용할 수 있도록 제안된 라우팅 프로토콜이다. Ad-hoc 네트워크에서 변화하는 네트워크의 토폴로지에서 항상 최적의 경로를 설정하는 AODV 라우팅 프로토콜은 신뢰성 높은 데이터를 제공해 준다. 본 논문에서는 NDIS(Network Driver Interface Specification) 기반의 AODV 라우팅 프로토콜을 이용하여 영상 전송이 성능 저하 없이 동작할 수 있는 시스템을 구현하고 확인하였다.

A mobile ad-hoc network is composed of only mobile nodes, which are distributed dynamically, without any wired backbone or centralized entities. Since the existing works on ad-hoc routing protocol are mostly biased toward a military application, we need a new routing scheme for a support of multimedia services in mobile ad-hoc networks. Therefore, we propose a novel scheme that can support a variety of traffic attributes and can be applicable to high-speed and multimedia data services in mobile ad-hoc networks by using adaptive transmission power level. As a result of simulation, the proposed scheme has better performance than conventional method, which is performed with uniform transmission power level, in view of route query delay time.

코어 기반 트리 멀티캐스트 라우팅 프로토콜, PIM-SM, 코어 관리자 기반 멀티캐스트 라우팅 등에 의해 확립된 공유 기반 트리는 코어 또는 랑데뷰 포인트라는 센터 노드를 루트로 하는 구조이다. 공유 기반 트리에서 코어(또는 랑데뷰 포인트)로부터 멀티캐스트 그룹의 모든 구성원들에 대한 전송 경로는 가장 짧은 거리를 사용한다. 트리의 구성 비용은 코어에 의해 결정되고, 패킷들의 지연은 코어의 위치에 의해 좌우된다. 따라서 코어의 위치 선정은 비용과 성능 측면에 많은 영향을 끼친다. 본 논문에서는 후보 코어 그룹 선택을 위한 세 가지 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 최소 평균 비용 선택, 최대 차수 선택, 최대 가중치 선택 방법은 각각 임의 선택 방법과 트리 비용, 평균 패킷 지연, 최대 패킷 지연의 세 가지 성능 평가 요소를 통해 비교하였다. 모의실험 결과 후보 코어 그룹 선택에 있어서 제안한 세 가지 방법이 임의 선택방법보다 성능 평가요소인 트리 비용, 평균 패킷 지연, 최대 패킷 지연 측면에서 더 낮은 결과를 보임으로써, 우수함을 입증하였다.

IPTV broadcast channels and video content distribution are increasingly saturating network paths. New solutions based on inter-domain multicast protocols could contribute to the enhancement of multimedia content distribution over the Internet. The aim of this paper is to propose new capabilities for an existing inter-domain multicast protocol, the Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode. We describe the modified protocol and analyze its behavior using newly developed tools based on an open-source software simulator. The resulting protocol does not require topology information, which is advantageous for easier deployment. In addition, the adopted solution avoids inherent problems with inter-domain multicast routing, such as multiple paths and path asymmetries.

A routing protocol in mobile ad hoc networks is important, and a location based routing has attracted attention. We have proposed a method, in which plural mobile agents (MA) manage location information and construct a route and the number of MA dynamically changes depending on the network situation. However, the area where each MA manages is not always appropriate. This would increase the network load due to unnecessary split and mergence of MAs. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose an enhanced method. In this method, the MA management area is properly determined based on distribution of nodes. From the performance evaluation, we show that the proposed method outperforms conventional methods in terms of packet delivery rate when network load is high.

This paper describes the contents about the efficient routing technique for improvement of transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks. Existing flat-based routing protocols have several problems like data overlap and implosion. Gossiping Algorithm in WSN is able to reduce the overhead and transmit packets through already set up the path but it takes place the data delivery and problem of worst-case. In this paper, we try to solve two problems that are data delivery and worst-case by selecting neighbor nodes using RSSI and number of linkage. The proposed model is available to real-mote and we confirmed the improvement of the performance against existing models.

In this paper, we propose a strategy to distribute the energy consumption over the network. The proposed strategy is based on geographic routing. We use a smart base station that maintains the residual energy and location information of sensor nodes and selects a head node and an anchor node using this information. A head node gathers and aggregates data from the sensor nodes in a target region that interests the user. An anchor node then transmits the data that was forwarded from the head node back to the smart base station. The smart base station extends network lifetime by selecting an optimal head node and an optimal anchor node. We simulate the proposed protocol and compare it with the LEACH protocol in terms of energy consumption, the number of dead nodes, and a distribution map of dead node locations.

Wireless Mesh Networks aim to attain large connectivity with minimum performance degradation, as network size is increase. As such, scalability is one of the main characteristics of Wireless Mesh Networks that differentiates it from other wireless networks. This characteristic creates the need for bandwidth efficiency strategies to ensure that network performance does not degrade as the size of the network increase. Several researches have been done to realize mesh networks. However, the researches conducted were mostly focused on a per TCP/IP layer basis. Also, the studies on bandwidth efficiency and bandwidth improvement are usually dealt with as separate issues. This paper aims to simultaneously study bandwidth efficiency and improvement. Aside from optimizing the bandwidth given a fixed capacity, the capacity is also increased using results of physical layer studies. In this paper, the capacity is improved by using the concept of non-overlapping channels for wireless communication. A channel allocation scheme is conceptualized to choose the transmission channel that would optimize the network performance parameters with consideration of chosen Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. Network utility maximization is used to optimize the bandwidth after channel selection. Furthermore, a routing scheme is proposed using the results of the network utilization method and the channel allocation scheme to find the optimal path that would maximize the network gain.
