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.

본 논문에서는 CSMA 다중 access 방식으로 분산 무선 통신망을 구현할 때 다중 access 방식의 성능을 비교하였다. 또한 숨겨진 노드가 존재하거나 전자파 장애로 인한 CSMA방식의 성능 저하의 원인을 개설 할 수 있는 프로토콜을 제안하여 성능을 개선하였다. 숨겨진 노드가 존재하는 상황에서 CSMA의 방식을 개선하기 위해 중앙 집중식망에서 ISMA(Idle Signal Multiple Access), BTMA(Busy Tone Multiple Access), BCMA(Busy Channel Multiple Access)등 과 같은 채널 access 방식을 사용하였다. 본 논문에서는 중앙 집중식이 아닌 분산이면서 독립적인 노드로 통신하는 환경에서 숨겨진 노드가 존재하거나 전자파 방애로 인한 노드들이 있는 경우 성능 개선을 위해 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 새로운 프로토콜을 이용하여 컴퓨터 모의실험(simulation)을 함으로써 처리율(throughput)과 전송성공 확률이 실질적으로 개선됨을 확인하였다. 모의실험은 OPNET simulator를 사용하였다.

The wide deployment of wireless access technologies and the integration of various access network interfaces into a single terminal, allows mobile end-users to be always connected to the IP network, and to use those interface simultaneously. In this paper the CTE provides various access network interfaces capabilities, allowing reception of data over multiple service providers with different characteristics. Considerations for multiple network and service provider environments are regarded as essential for the successful deployment of convergence services in Next Generation Network (NGN). Event Driven Service (EDS) is regarded as a typical convergence service converging different functions of multiple service providers. This paper first describes the deployment model of NGN convergence services for multiple service provider environments. It also covers the service scenario of EDS, a convergence service for multiple service provider environments in NGN. Multiple provider environments stimulates the unified identifier management, namely ubiquitous identification (U-ID), to enable users to be provided convergence services without awareness of multiple provides. Then the designed structure and procedures of U-ID based EDS are given. Finally, the implementation results tested on Korea Advanced Research Network (KOREN) are described.

This paper analyzes the optimal user density and power allocation for Device-to-Device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular networks on multiple bands with the target of maximizing the D2D transmission capacity. The entire network is modeled by Poisson point process (PPP) which based on stochastic geometry. Then in order to ensure the outage probabilities of both cellular and D2D communication, a sum capacity optimization problem for D2D system on multiple bands is proposed. Using convex optimization, the optimal D2D density is obtained in closed-form when the D2D transmission power is determined. Next the optimal D2D transmission power is obtained in closed-form when the D2D density is fixed. Based on the former two conclusions, an iterative algorithm for the optimal D2D density and power allocation on multiple bands is proposed. Finally, the simulation results not only demonstrate the D2D performance, density and power on each band are constrained by cellular communication as well as the interference of the entire system, but also verifies the superiority of the proposed algorithm over sorting-based and removal algorithms.

무선 ad-hoc 네트워크란 기존에 설치된 유선망이나 기지국의 도움 없이 이동 호스트들만으로 구성되는 임시적인 네트워크이며 현재 무선 ad-hoc 네트워크 환경에서 이동 호스트들간의 메시지 전송을 위해 사용될 수 있는 여러종류의 라우팅 프로토콜들이 제안되고 있다. 이러한 ad-hoc 네트워크의 응용 도메인은 매우 다양하며 그 활용의 범위 또는 네트워크의 규모에 따라 적절한 라우팅 프로토콜이 받고자 할 수 있으며 이러한 유선망 서비스를 지원받고자 할 수 있으며 이러한 유선망 서비스를 지원하기 위해서는 ad-hoc 네트어크와 유선망과의 연동이 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 DSMR(Dynamic Source Multipath Routing) 프로토콜은 무선 ad-hoc 네트워크 환경에서 이동 호스트들간의 끊김 없는 통신 환경의 제공을 목적으로 하면서 필요시에 각 호스트가 주기적으로 라우팅 메시지를 방송할 필요가 없도록 하며 경로 요청 및 경로 설정이 데이터 패킷을 보내고자하는 이동 호스트 주체로 이루어지도록 한다. 또한 다중 경로를 유지하도록 함으로써 경로의 빠른 재설정을 가능하게 한다는 특징을 갖는다.

Wireless sensor networks are generally deployed for specific applications to accomplish certain objectives over a period of time. To fulfill these objectives, it is crucial that the sensor network continues to function for a long time, even if some of its nodes become faulty. Energy efficiency and fault tolerance are undoubtedly the most crucial requirements for the design of an information extraction protocol for any sensor network application. However, most existing software agent based information extraction protocols are incapable of satisfying these requirements because of static agent itineraries and large agent sizes. This paper proposes an Information Extraction protocol based on Multiple software Agents with Dynamic Itineraries (IEMADI), where multiple software agents are dispatched in parallel to perform tasks based on the query assigned to them. IEMADI decides the itinerary for an agent dynamically at each hop using local information. Through mathematical analysis and simulation, we compare the performance of IEMADI with a well known static itinerary based protocol with respect to energy consumption and response time. The results show that IEMADI provides better performance than the static itinerary based protocols.

This paper describes a robust mobile u-healthcare system with multiple physiological signs measurement capability in real time with integration of WSN(wireless sensor network) technology and CDMA(code division multiple access) network. A cellular phone receives health data in WSN and performs local physiological signs analysis at a phone processor, and then transmits abnormal data to server for further detail or precise health signal evaluation by a medical doctor over a CDMA network. Physiological signs of the patients are continuously monitored, processed and analyzed locally at cellular phone process to produce useful medical information for diagnosis and tracking purposes. By local simple analysis in cellular phone processor we can save the data transmission cost in CDMA network. By using the developed integrate ubiquitous healthcare service architecture, patients can realize self-health checking so that the prevention actions can be taken earlier. Appropriate self-monitoring and self-management can cure disease and relieve pain especially for patients who suffer from chronic diseases that need long term observation.

In u-healthcare services based on wireless body sensor networks, reliable connection is very important as many types of information, including vital signals, are transmitted through the networks. The transmit power requirements are very stringent in the case of in-body networks for implant communication. Furthermore, the wireless link in an in-body environment has a high degree of path loss (e.g., the path loss exponent is around 6.2 for deep tissue). Because of such inherently bad settings of the communication nodes, a multi-hop network topology is preferred in order to meet the transmit power requirements and to increase the battery lifetime of sensor nodes. This will ensure that the live body of a patient receiving the healthcare service has a reduced level of specific absorption ratio (SAR) when exposed to long-lasting radiation. We propose an efficientmethod for delivering delay-intolerant data packets over multiple hops. We consider forward error correction (FEC) in an erasure correction mode and develop a mathematical formulation for packet-level scheduling of delay-intolerant FEC packets over multiple hops. The proposed method can be used as a simple guideline for applications to setting up a topology for a medical body sensor network of each individual patient, which is connected to a remote server for u-healthcare service applications.

무선 센서 네트워크(Wireless Sensor Network : WSN)는 저가의 소형 센서를 활용해서 무선으로 사용되기 때문에 제한된 배터리 전력을 가지고 있다. 배터리를 교체할 수 없으므로 센서 노드의 수명은 배터리의 수명과 직결되므로 전력을 효율적으로 사용하여 네트워크의 수명을 극대화해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 에너지 효율적 라우팅 프로토콜인 PEGASIS(: Power-Efficient Gathering in Sensor Information System)를 기반으로 싱크 노드로부터의 거리에 따라 계층화하여 하나의 체인이 아닌 다중 체인을 구성하는 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 프로토콜은 노드 간 전송 거리를 줄여서 불필요한 에너지 소모를 막아 네트워크 수명을 높일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

효율적인 서비스 검색 기법은 무선 애드-혹 네트워크의 유용성을 위해 중요한 특성이다. 무선 애드-혹 네트워크는 어떤 기존의 네트워크 하부구조 또는 중앙 관리 체계의 도움 없이 무선 이동 노드들만으로 구성되는 임시 네트워크이다. 본 논문에서는 무선 애드-혹 네트워크를 위해 중복을 허용하는 다중 경로 라우팅 프로토콜을 사용하는 효율적인 서비스 검색 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 다중 경로 소스 라우팅 프로토콜의 장점뿐만 아니라 크로스-레이서 서비스 검색의 장점 역시 갖는다. 시뮬레이션을 통해서 이 기법이 각 노드에서 다중 라우팅 경로를 유지함으로써 경로 단절시 보다 빠른 라우팅 복구가 가능하며, 다중 경로의 수를 제한하고 링크/노드 중복을 허용하는 다중 경로를 유지하도록 함으로써 라우팅 유지 오버헤드를 줄인다는 것을 보인다.
