Opportunistic routing is designed for an environment where there is no stable end-to-end routing path between source node and destination node, and messages are forwarded via intermittent contacts between nodes and routed using a store-carry-forward mechanism. In this paper, we consider PRoPHET(Probabilistic Routing Protocol using History of Encounters and Transitivity) protocol as a base opportunistic routing protocol and propose an efficient context-aware opportunistic routing protocol by using the context information of delivery predictability and node type, e.g., pedestrian, car, and tram. In the proposed protocol, the node types of sending node and receiving node are checked. Then, if either sending node or receiving node is tram, messages are forwarded by comparing the delivery predictability of receiving node with predefined delivery predictability thresholds depending on the combination of sending node and receiving node types. Otherwise, messages are forwarded if the delivery predictability of receiving node is higher than that of sending node, as defined in PRoPHET protocol. Finally, we analyze the performance of the proposed protocol from the aspect of delivery ratio, overhead ratio, and delivery latency. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol has better delivery ratio, overhead ratio, and delivery latency than PRoPHET protocol in most of the considered simulation environments.

Wireless communication offers the flexibility to the node movement at the spatial dimension more than the wire communication not only in IP architecture but also in Content-Centric Networking. Although it gives such advantage, the intra-domain movement of a node especially the data source node affects the communication to the access point node which in the end affects the acceptance ratio of the client node that requests the data packets from the data source node. In this paper, we use time-division access method to maintain the acceptance ratio of the client node as the effect of the intra-domain data source node movement in Content-Centric Networking. The simulation result shows that the acceptance ratio of the client node can be maintained using the time-division access method as long as the interval access time is less than the coherence time.

브로드캐스팅은 한 노드가 모든 노드들에게 패킷을 전달하는 과정으로, 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크(MANET)에서 경로 탐색과 제어 정보 메시지 전송과 같은 서비스를 위하여 많이 사용되는 기본 작업이다. 본 논문에서는 MANET에서 송수신 노드 사이의 이격 비율과 노드 밀집도에 따라 동적으로 재전송 확률 값을 구하는 브로드캐스팅 기법을 제안한다. 이격 비율은 송수신 노드사이의 거리와 무선 전파의 전달 거리에 대한 비율을 계산하며, 노드 밀집도는 1-홉 단위의 이웃 노드의 수를 계산한다. 패킷을 수신한 노드는 송신노드로부터의 이격 비율과 자신의 노드 밀집도을 고려하여 재전송 확률을 결정하는데, 송신자에 가까운 노드와 노드 밀집도가 높은 노드는 낮은 재전송 확률 값을 부여하여 패킷의 조기 소멸을 통해 재전송 패킷의 수를 줄이도록 한다. 플러딩 기법과 고정된 확률 값 기법과의 성능 비교를 통하여 제안 기법이 다른 방법보다 우수한 성능을 보여주었는데, 제안 기법은 플러딩에 비하여 30% 이상의 패킷 전송을 감소시킬 수 있었으며, 96%에 가까운 패킷의 도착율을 보여주었다.

무선센서 네트워크에서 노드들의 데이터를 수집하고 기지국에 전달하는 중계노드의 위치(Relay Node Placement)를 구하는 문제는 전체 네트워크의 생존시간에 관련되어 있기 때문에 매우 중요하다. 중계노드 위치문제는 전체 네트워크의 센서노드에서 소비되는 에너지를 최소화시키는데 그 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 그러나 중계노드 위치와 센서노드와의 거리가 모두 다르므로 센서노드에서 소비되는 에너지의 불균형이 초래된다. 본 논문에서는 클러스터링 모델에서 에너지 균형비(Energy Balance Ratio)라는 개념을 제안하고 이 에너지 균형비를 최대화시키는 목적함수를 사용하여 중계노드의 위치를 구한다. 에너지 균형비를 최대화시키는 것은 클러스터에 할당된 센서노드들의 에너지 소비를 클러스터 간에 균형 잡히게 한다. 이것은 궁극적으로 대규모 센서 네트워크의 에너지 소비를 최소화시켜서 네트워크 생존기간을 최대화시키는 효과가 있다. 그러나 이 문제의 해를 구하는 것은 NP-hard 문제이므로 완전해(Exact Solution) 를 구하는 것은 현실적으로 힘들다. 따라서 제약프로그래밍 방법을 사용하여 에너지 균형비와 중계노드 위치를 함께 고려하는 EBR-RNP 문제로 모델링하여 근사해를 구한다.

Purpose: To assess independent prognostic factors for lymph node-negative metastatic gastric cancer patients following curative resection is valuable for more effective follow-up strategies. Materials and Methods: Among 1,874 gastric cancer patients who received curative resection, 967 patients were lymph node-negative. Independent prognostic factors for overall survival in lymph node-negative gastric cancer patients grouped by tumor invasion depth (early gastric cancer versus advanced gastric cancer) were explored with univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: There was a significant difference in the distribution of recurrence pattern between lymph node-negative and lymph nodepositive group. In the lymph node-negative group, the recurrence pattern differed by the depth of tumor invasion. In univariate analysis for overall survival of the early gastric cancer group, age, macroscopic appearance, histologic type, venous invasion, lymphatic invasion, and carcinoembryonic antigen level were significant prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis for these factors showed that venous invasion (hazard ratio, 6.695), age (${\geq}59$, hazard ratio, 2.882), and carcinoembryonic antigen level (${\geq}5$ ng/dl, hazard ratio, 3.938) were significant prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis of advanced gastric cancer group showed that depth of tumor invasion (T2 versus T3, hazard ratio, 2.809), and age (hazard ratio, 2.319) were prognostic factors on overall survival. Conclusions: Based on our results, independent prognostic factors such as venous permeation, carcinoembryonic antigen level, and age, depth of tumor invasion on overall survival were different between early gastric cancer and advanced gastric cancer group in lymph node-negative gastric cancer patients. Therefore, we are confident that our results will contribute to planning follow-up strategies.

Background: As data on the relation between obesity and lymph node ratio are missing in the literature, we here aimed to assess the impact of obesity on this parameter and other clinicopathological features of breast cancer cases and patient survival. Materials and Methods: Medical data of 646 patients, all referred to two centers in Tehran, Iran, were reviewed. Factors that showed significant association on univariate analysis were entered in a regression model. Kaplan-Meier and Cox-regression were employed for survival analysis. Results: Obesity was correlated with the expression of estrogen and progesterone receptor (p=0.004 and p=0.039, respectively), metastasis to axillary lymph nodes (p=0.017), higher lymph node rate (p<0.001) and larger tumor size (p<0.001). The effect of obesity was stronger in premenopausal women. There was no association between obesity and expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor. Three factors showed independent association with BMI on multivariate analysis; tumor size, estrogen receptor and lymph node ratio. Obesity was predictive of shorter disease-free survival with a hazard ratio of 3.324 (95%CI: 1.225-9.017) after controlling for the above-mentioned variables. Conclusions: The findings of this study support the idea that obese women experience more advanced disease with higher axillary lymph node ratio, and therefore higher stage at the time of diagnosis. Furthermore, obesity was associated with poorer survival independent of lymph node rate.

A novel jamming detection technique to detect the presence of jamming in the downstream direction for cluster based wireless sensor networks is proposed in this paper. The proposed technique is deployed in base station and in cluster heads. The proposed technique is novel in two aspects: Firstly, whenever a cluster head receives a packet it verifies whether the source node is legitimate node or new node. Secondly if a source node is declared as new node in the first step, then this technique observes the behavior of the new node to find whether the new node is legitimate node or jammed node. In order to monitor the behavior of the existing node and new node, the second step uses two metrics namely packet delivery ratio (PDR) and received signal strength indicator (RSSI). The rationality of using PDR and RSSI is presented by performing statistical test. PDR and RSSI of every member in the cluster is measured and assessed by the cluster head. And finally the cluster head determines whether the members of the cluster are jammed or not. The CH can detect the presence of jamming in the cluster at member level. The base station can detect the presence of jamming in the wireless sensor network at CH level. The simulation result shows that the proposed technique performs extremely well and achieves jamming detection rate as high as 99.85%.

As a main challenge in network virtualization, virtual network embedding problem is increasingly important and heuristic algorithms are of great interest. Aiming at the problems of poor correlation in node embedding and link embedding, long distance between adjacent virtual nodes and imbalance resource consumption of network components during embedding, we herein propose a two-stage virtual network embedding algorithm NA-PVNM. In node embedding stage, resource requirement and breadth first search algorithm are introduced to sort virtual nodes, and a node fitness function is developed to find the best substrate node. In link embedding stage, a path fitness function is developed to find the best path in which available bandwidth, CPU and path length are considered. Simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm could shorten link embedding distance, increase the acceptance ratio and revenue to cost ratio compared to previously reported algorithms. We also analyzed the impact of position constraint and substrate network attribute on algorithm performance, as well as the utilization of the substrate network resources during embedding via simulation. The results showed that, under the constraint of substrate resource distribution and virtual network requests, the critical factor of improving success ratio is to reduce resource consumption during embedding.

기존의 협력통신은 목적지 노드에서 소스 노드와 릴레이 노드들로부터 독립적인 채널의 동일한 신호를 수신하므로 공간 다이버시티와 경로손실감소 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 하지만, 릴레이 노드의 사용으로 인해 주파수 효율이 저하되고, maximal ratio combining (MRC) 결합 방식을 사용함으로써 수신단의 복잡도가 증가하는 문제를 초래하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 개선하는 동시에 우수한 BER 성능을 얻을 수 있는 협력 ARQ 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 이 방식은 소스 노드로부터 수신한 신호를 우선적으로 목적지 노드에서 평가하여 만족되어질 경우, ACK 메시지를 소스 노드와 릴레이 노드로 전송하고 수신한 신호를 복구하므로 기존의 협력통신에 비해 주파수 효율을 높일 수 있다. 또한, ARQ 메시지가 NACK일 경우 릴레이 노드는 선택적 재전송을 하므로 소스 노드가 재전송하는 일반적인 ARQ 프로토콜에 비해 시스템의 신뢰성을 높일 수 있다. 제안하는 프로토콜에서의 선택적 전송과 ARQ 메시지의 정보는 각각 소스 노드로부터 수신한 신호의 log-likelihood ratio (LLR) 계산 값과 임의의 문턱 값을 비교하여 결정하므로 기존의 CRC 부호를 위한 대역폭 할당을 요구하지 않으며, 목적지 노드에서 부가적인 결합방식을 사용하지 않음으로써 수신단의 복잡도를 줄일 수 있었다. 레일리 페이딩과 AWGN를 고려한 Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션을 통해 주파수 효율과 BER 성능을 검증하였다.
