This paper proposes a HAG(Hidden-Node-Aware Grouping) algorithm for IEEE 802.15.4 networks to enhance the performance by eliminating collisions resulted from the hidden node problem without adopting the RTS/CTS packet exchanges. To solve the hidden node problem, the HAG algorithm organizes nodes into disjoint transmission groups by dynamically allocating hidden nodes into separate groups which take turns in a round robin way for their transmission. For dynamic group adjustment, it periodically evaluates the presence of hidden nodes based on subordinate nodes' receipt reports. To accurately measure its behavior, this paper also builds an analytical model to estimate its throughput fluctuation over various network topologies. The mathematical model along with simulation results confirmed that the HAG technique gracefully degraded the throughput of IEEE 802.15.4 networks whereas the standard IEEE 802.15.4 networks suffer severe throughput fallout as hidden nodes become populated.

In this paper, a path restoration method independent of failure location in all-optical networks is proposed and its wavelength requirements are calculated. In the proposed method, since a single backup wavelength is used for any link failure, a node can consist of only fixed wavelength transmitters, resulting in the levels node cost. Hence, restoration process can be triggered just after the failure detection, if combined with edge-disjoint path restoration method. This feature and the parallel cross-connection message transfer technique proposed in this paper make the restoration process faster. Also, it is shown the wavelength requirements in the proposed method are similar to the ones in the method using tunable backup wavelength, resulting in little increment for transmission cost.

Energy efficiency, low latency and scalability for wireless sensor networks are important requirements, especially, the wireless sensor network consist of a large number of sensor nodes should be minimized energy consumption of each node to extend network lifetime with limited battery power. An efficient algorithm and energy management technology for minimizing the energy consumption at each sensor node is also required to improve transfer rate. Thus, this paper propose no-overlap multi-pass protocol provides for sensor data transmission in the wireless sensor network environment. The proposed scheme should minimize network overhead through reduced a sensor data translation use to searched multi-path and added the multi-path in routing table. Proposed routing protocol may minimize the energy consumption at each node, thus prolong the lifetime of the sensor network regardless of where the sink node is located outside or inside the received signal strength range. To verify propriety proposed scheme constructs sensor networks adapt to current model using the real data and evaluate consumption of total energy.

In this paper, we make MAC protocol improvements for performance enhancement of multi-hop ad-hoc wireless networks. A node in ad-hoc wireless networks can transmit a packet only when the medium is available, and while a packet is being transmitted, no other nodes are allowed to transmit a packet if they are in carrier sensing range. Carrier sensing range can be divided into two disjoint areas of transmission range and carrier sensing zone(9), and we address the importance of the protocol behavior when a node is in carrier sensing zone. The characteristic of the carrier sensing zone is that a node can not know when the remaining time of the on-going transmission session expires or exactly when the media becomes available. Current MAC protocol does not behave in much different way between when a node is in transmission range and in carrier sensing zone. We have conducted a comprehensive simulation to study the performance improvements. The simulation results indicate that the performance is increased and the number of dropped packets due to collision is significantly reduced as much as a half.

The twisted cube has received great attention because it has several superior properties to the hypercube that is widely known as a versatile parallel processing system. In this paper, we show that node-disjoint $2^{n-1}$ meshes of size $2^n{\times}2^m$ can be embedded into a twisted cube with dilation 1 where $1{\leq}n{\leq}m$. The expansion is 1 for even m and 2 for odd m.

This paper is primarily concerned with multi-path routing in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). We propose a novel associativity-based on-demand source routing protocol for MANETs that attempts to establish relatively stable path(s) between the source and the destination. We introduce a new notion for gauging the temporal and spatial stability of nodes, and hence the paths interconnecting them. The proposed protocol is compared with other unipath (DSDV and AODV) and multi-path (AOMDV) routing protocols. We investigate the performance in terms of throughput, normalized routing overhead, packet delivery ratio etc. All on-demand protocols show good performance in mobile environments with less traffic overhead compared to proactive approaches, but they are prone to longer end-to-end delays due to route discovery and maintenance.

In this paper, we propose a new interconnection network called RFM graph, whichis the merger of the directed rotator and Faber-Moore graph, and analyze fault tolerance, routing algorithm node disjoint cycles and broadcasting algorithm. We also describe methods to embed star graph, 2 dimesional torus and bubblesort graph into RFM graph with unit expasion and dilation 2.

In the hypercube multiprocessor system. repeated allocations and deallocations of subcubes generate a fragmented hypercube from which. even if sufficient free processors are available, a subcube that is large enough to accomodate a new task cannot be formed. To eliminate the fragmentation, we need a processor relocation to move a task-occupied subcube to a free subcube, and gather dispersed small subcubes. In this paper, we propose a routing algorithm for task migration in circuit- switched hypercube to relocate processors. In the circuit-switched hypercube, we have to find a set of dedicated link-disjoint routing paths for each node to move a task from a busy subcube to a free subcube in fragmentation. The proposed algorithm is based on the PGC(packed Gray code) which detects all kinds of subcubes.

Internet routers perform packet forwarding which determines a next hop for each incoming packet using the packet's destination IP address. IP address lookup becomes one of the major challenges because it should be performed in wire-speed for every incoming packet under the circumstance of the advancement in link technologies and the growth of the number of the Internet users. Many binary search algorithms have been proposed for fast IP address lookup. However, tree-based binary search algorithms are usually unbalanced, and they do not provide very good search performance. Even for binary search algorithms providing balanced search, they have drawbacks requiring prefix duplication. In this paper, a new binary search algorithm which provides the balanced binary search and the number of its entries is much less than the number of original prefixes. This is possible because of composing the binary search tree only with disjoint prefixes of the prefix set. Each node has a prefix vector that has the prefix nesting information. The number of memory accesses of the proposed algorithm becomes much less than that of prior binary search algorithms, and hence its performance for IP address lookup is considerably improved.
