현재 제안된 MANET에서의 유니캐스트 라우팅[3][4]들은 신뢰성 있는 데이터 전송을 위한 응용에는 적합하지 않다. 신뢰성 있는 데이터 전송을 위하여 제안된 다중 경로 라우팅 메커니즘[5][6]은 추가적인 오버헤드와 비효율적인 자원의 이용이라는 문제점을 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 노드의 링크 단절 빈도와 데이터 전송시의 배터리 소모를 기반으로 하는 신뢰성 있는 단일 경로 설정 메커니즘을 제안한다. 제안된 메커니즘의 경우 단절될 확률이 적은 노드들로 구성된 경로를 선택함으로써 기존의 라우팅 알고리즘보다 신뢰성 높은 경로를 설정할 수 있는 동시에 높은 동적 환경에서는 다중 경로를 설정하여 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있다.

본 논문은 무선환경에서 TCP를 이용한 데이터 전송시 전력 소비를 감소시킬 수 있는 저전력 전송 기법을 제안한다. TCP 프로토플은 재전송, 그리고 혼잡제어 등의 기능을 통해 효율적이고 신뢰성있는 통신을 지원한다. 이러한 특성은 망상태가 악화될 경우 이동기기에서 과다한 재전송 및 혼잡제어를 일으켜 이동기기의 전력소비를 증가시키는 주요한 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 재전송 제어를 통해 이를 해결하고 제시된 기법이 기존의 프로토콜보다 전력 소비면에서 효율적임을 시뮬레이션을 통해 밝힌다.

다중홉 (multi-hop) 이동 애드혹 앙 (ad-hoc network)에서 무결정성 (seamless) 통신이 이루어지기 위해 효율적인 라우팅 프로토콜을 필요로 한다. AODV (Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector) 라우팅 프로토콜은 단지 먼저 수신된 경로 요구 (route request) 메시지가 전달되어 온 경로만을 고려 할 뿐, 경로 탐색 과정에 있어 각 노드에서의 에너지 사용량을 반영하지 못하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 AODV 라우팅 프로토콜에 기존에 제안된 MTPR (Minimum Total Transmission Power Routing) 방법을 효율적으로 적용할 수 있는 경로 탐색 방법을 제안한다.

Context-awareness is a computing technology that automatically delivers useful services to users based on their situation. Most previous studies on context-awareness adopted the view that the user simply is a consumer of what the developer creates. Few studies addressed catering to the need of personalized services for the user. They are either too complex for the user to grasp or unable to express many useful services due to their weak expressive power. To address these issues, we propose Dobby as a new model and architecture for user-driven context-aware service development. Dobby enables the user to create services that are more suited to his personal preferences. We argue that Dobby offers an enhanced method for defining personalized context-aware services over existing methods.

This paper introduces a new split-TCP approach for improving TCP performance over IEEE 802.11-based wireless LANs. TCP over wireless LANs differently from wired networks is not aggressive, which is a fundamental reason for poor performance. Therefore, we propose TAS (TCP-Aware Sub-layer) to migigate this problem. Our scheme extends the split-connection approach that divides a connection into two different connections at a split point such as an access point (AP). Using TAS, a wireless node emulates TCP ACK packets using MAC ACK frames, instead of receiving real TCP ACK packets. We compared TAS with both normal TCP and I-TCP (Indirect TCP) by NS2 simulation. Results show that TAS achieves higher throughput, more fair resource allocation and, in power-saving mode, shorter delays.

In this paper, we proposed the location-aware coordinate routing algorithm for improving the performance of routing algorithm by using ZigBee in Smart Grid environment. A distributed address allocation scheme used an existing algorithm that has wasted in address space. The x, y and z coordinate axes from divided address space of 16 bit to solve this problems. However, coordinate routing does not take account of wireless link condition. If wiress link condition is not considered, when the routing table is updated, the nodes with bad link conditions are updated in the routing table and can be chosen as the next hop. This brings out the retransmissions because of received packet's errors. Also, because of these retransmissions, additional power is consumed. In this paper, we propose the location-aware coordinate routing algorithm considering wiress link condition, where reliable data transmission is made and the consumed enegy is minimize. and we compared and connected region and transition region of ZigBee location based routing in the aspect of average number of multi hops, subordinate packet delivery ratio, delay time, and energy consumption of proposed algorithm. It turned out that there were improvements in performances of each items.

This study presents a power and Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) joint allocation algorithm to coordinate uplink (UL) interference in the device-to-device (D2D) underlaying Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) networks. The objective is to find a mechanism to mitigate the UL interference between the two subsystems and maximize the weighted sum throughput as well. This optimization problem is formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) which is further decomposed into PRBs assignment and transmission power allocation. Specifically, the scenario of applying imperfect channel state information (CSI) is also taken into account in our study. Analysis reveals that the proposed PRBs allocation strategy is energy efficient and it suppresses the interference not only suffered by the LTE-A system but also to the D2D users. In another side, a low-complexity technique is proposed to obtain the optimal power allocation which resides in one of at most three feasible power vectors. Simulations show that the optimal power allocation combined with the proposed PRBs assignment achieves a higher weighted sum throughput as compared to traditional algorithms even when imperfect CSI is utilized.

Energy consumption is an important design parameter for battery-operated embedded systems. Dynamic power management is one of the most well-known low-power design techniques. This paper proposes an online realtime scheduling algorithm, which we call energy-aware realtime scheduling using slack stealing (EARSS). The proposed algorithm gives the highest priority to the task with the largest degree of device overlap when the slack time exists. Scheduling result enables an efficient power management by reducing the number of state transitions. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can save the energy by 23% on average compared to the DPM-enabled system scheduled by the EDF algorithm.

Unfortunately, in current microprocessors, increasing the frequency causes increased power consumption and reduced reliability whereas it improves the performance. To overcome the power and thermal problems in the singlecore processors, multicore processors has been widely used. For 2D multicore processors, interconnection is regarded as one of the major constraints in performance and power efficiency. To reduce the performance degradation and the power consumption in 2D multicore processors, 3D integrated design technique has been studied by many researchers. Compared to 2D multicore processors, 3D multicore processors get the benefits of performance improvement and reduced power consumption by reducing the wire length significantly. However, 3D multicore processors have serious thermal problems due to high power density, resulting in reliability degradation. Detailed thermal analysis for multicore processors can be useful in designing thermal-aware processors. In this paper, we analyze the impact of workload distribution, distance to the heat sink, and number of stacked dies on the processor temperature. We also analyze the effects of the temperature on overall system performance. Especially, this paper presents the guideline for thermal-aware multicore processor design by analyzing the thermal problems in 2D multicore processors and 3D multicore processors.
