Network coding is a newly developed technology that can cause considerable improvements in network throughput. COPE is the first network coding approach for wireless mesh networks and it is based on opportunistic Wireless Network Coding (WNC). It significantly improves throughput of multi-hop wireless networks utilizing network coding and broadcast features of wireless medium. In this paper we propose a new method, called FENC, for opportunistic WNC that improves the network throughput. In addition, its complexity is lower than other opportunistic WNC approaches. FENC utilizes division and conquer method to find an optimal network coding. The numerical results show that the proposed opportunistic algorithm improves the overall throughput as well as network coding approach.

본 논문에서는 롱 홀 (long-haul) 다중 홉 무선 네트워크에서 단일 데이터 스트림에 대한 opportunistic 라우팅 기법의 성능분석을 수행한다. 성능분석에서는 네트워크 노드간의 링크 레벨 간섭을 고려한다. 일반적으로 opportunistic 라우팅 기법은 무선 다중 홉 네트워크의 성능을 크게 향상시킬 것으로 기대되어 왔고 이에 대한 성능향상 및 전송 기법에 대한 많은 연구가 수행되어 왔으나, 본 논문의 연구 결과는 롱 홀의 경우에는 opportunistic 라우팅의 성능향상 정도가 그리 크지 않다는 것을 보여준다. 이와 같은 연구 결과는 opportunistic 라우팅 기법은 구현의 복잡성을 고려할 경우에 롱 홀 환경에서는 적용하는 것이 적당치 않으며, 환경에 따라 short-haul 환경에 집중하여 적용해야 함을 의미한다.

Energy consumption is an important index in mobile ad hoc networks. Data packet transmission increases among nodes, particularly in big data communication. However, nodes may be unable to transmit data packets because of energy over-consumption. Consequently, information may be lost and network communication may block. While opportunistic network is a kind of mobile ad hoc networks, researchers do not focus on energy consumption in opportunistic network communication. This study proposed an effective sensor energy supply scheme that can be applied in opportunistic networks. This scheme considers nodes sensor requests and communication model. In this scheme, nodes do not only accomplish energy supply in communication, but also extend communication time in opportunistic networks. Compared with the Spray and Wait algorithm and the Binary Spray and Wait algorithm in simulations, the proposed scheme extends communication time, increases data packet transmission, and accomplishes energy supply among nodes.

Opportunistic routing was originally introduced in various multihop network environments to reduce the number of hops in such a way that, among the relays that decode the transmitted packet for the current hop, the one that is closest to the destination becomes the transmitter for the next hop. Unlike the conventional opportunistic routing case where there is a single active S-D pair, for an ad hoc network in the presence of fading, we investigate the performance of parallel opportunistic multihop routing that is simultaneously performed by many source-destination (S-D) pairs to maximize the opportunistic gain, thereby enabling us to obtain a logarithmic gain. We first analyze a cut-set upper bound on the throughput scaling law of the network. Second, computer simulations are performed to verify the performance of the existing opportunistic routing for finite network conditions and to show trends consistent with the analytical predictions in the scaling law. More specifically, we evaluate both power and delay with respect to the number of active S-D pairs and then, numerically show a net improvement in terms of the power-delay trade-off over the conventional multihop routing that does not consider the randomness of fading.

레일레이 페이딩 채널에서 전력제한을 받는 기회전송 유무에 따른 협동 다중 릴레이 시스템의 성능을 연구하였다. 전제 네트워크의 전력이 제한되었을 때 3가지의 전력 할당방법을 검토하였고, 그 결과 기회전송 전력 할당방식이 다른 전력할당방식에 비해서 가장 좋은 성능을 나타내었다. 전체 네트워크의 전력이 증가할 경우 기회전송 릴레이가 증가하였고, 기회 협동 다이버시티의 차수를 증가시키게 되며, 결국 종단간 성능이 개선됨을 알 수 있었다.

Opportunistic scheduling is one of the important techniques to maximize multiuser diversity gain. In this paper, we propose a distributed opportunistic scheduling scheme for ad-hoc network. In the proposed distributed scheduling scheme, each receiver estimates channel condition and calculates independently its own priority with probabilistic manner, which can reduce excessive probing overhead required to gather the channel conditions of all receivers. We evaluate the proposed scheduling using extensive simulation and simulation results show that proposed scheduling obtains higher network throughput than conventional scheduling schemes and has a flexibility to control the fairness and throughput by controlling the system parameter.

The application of mathematical analysis to the study of wireless ad hoc networks has met with limited success due to the complexity of mobility, traffic models and the dynamic topology. A scenario based universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) time division duplex (TDD) opportunistic cellular system with an ad hoc behaviour that operates over UMTS frequency division duplex (FDD) licensed cellular network is considered. In this paper, we present a new routing metric which overall improves system performance in terms of interference and routing which operate in an ad hoc network in an opportunistic manner. Therefore we develop a simulation tool that addresses the goal of analysis and assessment of UMTS TDD opportunistic radio system with ad hoc behavior in coexistence with a UMTS FDD primary cellular networks.

Vehicular-to-anything (V2X) technology is attractive for wireless vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) because it allows for opportunistic choice of a vehicular protocol between vehicular-to-vehicular (V2V) and vehicular-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. In particular, achieving seamless connectivity in a VANET with nearby network infrastructure is challenging. In this paper, we propose a density-based opportunistic broadcasting (DOB) protocol, in which opportunistic connectivity is carried out by using the nearby infrastructure and opposite vehicles for solving the problems of disconnection and long end-to-end delay times. The performance evaluation results indicate that the proposed DOB protocol outperforms the considered comparative conventional schemes, i.e., the shortest path protocol and standard mobile WiMAX, in terms of the average end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio, handover latency, and number of lost packets.

본 논문에서는 OFDMA를 이용하는 시스템에서의 elastic 서비스를 위한 공평성을 고려한 opportunistic 스케줄링 기법에 대하여 연구한다. 본 논문에서는 각 유저의 만족도를 유틸리티로 정의한 후 네트워크 유틸리티 극대화 기법을 이용한다. 이러한 유틸리티는 각 유저가 이용하는 서비스에 따라 서로 다르게 정의할 수 있으며 elastic 서비스의 경우에는 평균 전송률이 높을수록 유저의 만족도가 높아지게 된다. 이를 반영하기 위하여 각 유저의 유틸리티를 평균 전송률에 대한 함수로 정의한다. 또한 각 유저 사이의 공평한 자원 배분을 위한 조건을 유저들의 유틸리티를 이용하여 정의하고 이를 만족하는 동시에 각 유저의 유틸리티의 합으로 정의되는 네트워크 유틸리티를 극대화 하기위한 opportunistic 스케줄링 기법을 연구한다. 본 논문에서는 각각의 공평성 조건에 대한 opportunistic 스케줄링 문제를 최적화 문제로 정의하고 이를 dual 기법과 stochastic sub-gradient 기법으로 풀어 스케줄링 기법을 구현하도록 한다.

The rapid increase of smart mobile devices and mobile applications has led to explosive growth of data traffic in cellular network. Offloading data traffic becomes one of the most urgent technical problems. Recent work has proposed to exploit opportunistic communications to offload cellular traffic for mobile data dissemination services, especially for accepting large delayed data. The basic idea is to deliver the data to only part of subscribers (called target-nodes) via the cellular network, and allow target-nodes to disseminate the data through opportunistic communications. Human mobility shows temporal and spatial characteristics and predictability, which can be used as effective guidance efficient opportunistic communication. Therefore, based on the regularity of human mobility we propose NodeRank algorithm which uses the encounter characteristics between nodes to choose target nodes. Different from the existing work which only using encounter frequency, NodeRank algorithm combined the contact time and inter-contact time meanwhile to ensure integrity and availability of message delivery. The simulation results based on real-world mobility traces show the performance advantages of NodeRank in offloading efficiency and network redundant copies.
