Recently, with the IPTV services, e-learning, real-time broadcasting and e-contents, many application services need the multicasting routing protocol. In this paper, the performance of the algorithm to assign the rendezvous router (RP: rendezvous point) in the center-based multicasting mesh network is analyzed. The estimated distance to select RP in the candidate nodes is calculated, and the node minimizing the distance is selected as the optimal RP. We estimate the distance by using the maximum distance, average distance, and mean of the maximum and average distance between the RP and members. The performance of the algorithm is compared with the optimal algorithm of all enumeration. With the assumptions of mesh network and randomly positioned for sources and members, the simulations for different parameters are studied. From the simulation results, the performance deviation between the algorithm with minimum cost and optimal method is evaluated as 6.2% average.

The shared-route decision algorithms in multicasting communications networks to provide the internet-based services such as IPTV, remote education/health, and internet broadcasting are presented. The three main measures of maximum delay, average delay and estimated delay between each node and member are adopted. Under the Mesh network with the uniform random cost between each node, the algorithm's performance is compared to the optimal solution with the minimum cost by all enumeration. The simulation results show that the algorithm using the estimated delay outperforms the other two methods.

무선기술의 발전과 다양한 휴대용 장비가 개발되면서 무선 인터넷 서비스에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 현재 네트워크에서 사용되고 있는 IPv4를 이용해서는 IP의 이동 환경을 지원하지 못한다. 이에 여러 연구가 진행되고 있으며 IETE의 Mobile IP Working Group에서는 기존의 IPv4를 사용하면서도 이동환경을 지원하기 위한 이동 IP에 대해 연구를 진행하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 인터넷에서 계층적이며 효율적인 이동성 지원을 위하여 인트라 도메인과 인터도메인에서 이동성 지원을 위한 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 멀티캐스트 라우팅 프로콜인 PIM-SM(Protocol Independent Multicase-Sparse Mode)과 MSDP(Multipicast Source Discovery Protocol)를 이용하며, 하나의 이동 노드 (Mobile Node, MN)는 대응 노드(Correspondent Node, CN)에 의해 특정한 멀티캐스트 그룹으로 인식된다. 이동 노드를 목적지로 하는 패킷은 RP(Rendezvous Point)로 보내진 후 이동노드의 현재 위치로 포워딩 된다. 또한 인트라 도메인과 인터 도메인에서 계층적이며 효율적인 방법을 지원함으로써 핸드오프 지연을 감소시키며, 홈 에이전트와 대응 노드에 부가되던 부하를 줄일 수 있다.

In existing middleware for body sensor networks, energy limitations, hardware heterogeneity, increases in node temperature, and the absence of software reusability are major problems. In this paper, we propose an event-based grid middleware component that solves these problems using distributed resources in in vivo sensor nodes. In our multi-hop communication, we use a lightweight rendezvous routing algorithm in a publish/subscribe system of event-based communication. To facilitate software reuse and application development, a modified open services gateway initiative has been implemented in our middleware architecture. We evaluated our grid middleware in a cancer treatment scenario with combined hyperthermia, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy procedures, using in vivo sensors.

In cognitive radio technology, the overall efficiency of communications systems can be improved without allocating additional bands by allowing a secondary system to utilize the licensed band when the primary system, which has the right to use the band, does not use it. In this paper, we propose a fast and reliable common channel initialization protocol without any exchange of initialization messages between the cluster head and the member nodes in cognitive ad-hoc networks. In the proposed method, the cluster and member nodes perform channel-based spectrum sensing. After sensing, the cluster head transmits a system activation signal through its available channels with a predetermined angle difference pattern. To detect the cluster head's transmission channels and to join the cluster, each member node implements fast Fourier transform (FFT) and computes autocorrelation for the angle difference sequence of the received signal patterns. This is compared to the predetermined reference angle difference pattern. The join-request and channel-decision procedures are presented in this paper. Performance evaluation of the proposed method is presented in the simulation results.

A shared-based tree established by the Core Based Tree multicast routing protocol (CBT), the Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse-Mode(PIM-SM), or the Core-Manager based Multicast Routing(CMMR) is rooted at a center node called core or Rendezvous Point(RP). The routes from the core (or RP) to the members of the multicast group are shortest paths. The costs of the trees constructed based on the core and the packet delays are dependent on the location of the core. The location of the core may affect the cost and performance of the shared-based tree. In this paper, we propose three methods for selecting the set of candidate cores. The three proposed methods, namely, k-minimum average cost, k-maximum degree, k-maximum weight are compared with a method which select the candidate cores randomly. Three performance measures, namely, tree cost, mean packet delay, and maximum packet delay are considered. Our simulation results show that the three proposed methods produce lower tree cost, significantly lower mean packet delay and maximum packet delay than the method which selects the candidate cores randomly.

In wireless sensor networks(WSNs), the studies that support sink mobility without global position information exploit a Backbone-based Virtual Infrastructure (BVI) which considers one-hop clusters and a backbone-based tree. Since the clusters of a sink and a source node are connected via flooding into the infrastructure, it causes high routing cost. Although the network could reduce the number of clusters via multi-level clusters, if the source nodes exist at nearest clusters from the cluster attached by the sink and they are in different branches of the tree, the data should be delivered via detour paths on the tree. Therefore, to reduce the number of clusters, we propose a novel multi-hop cluster based communication protocol supporting sink mobility without global position information. We exploit a rendezvous cluster head for sink location service and data dissemination but the proposed protocol effectively reduces data detour via comparing cluster hops from the source. Simulation shows that the proposed protocol is superior to the existing protocols in terms of the data delivery hop counts.
