This paper proposes a load balanced reliable routing protocol called LBR (Load Balanced Reliable routing) in wireless networks. The LBR protocol transmits messages through a reliable path considering the balancing of the traffic load. Recently, the authors have proposed a multipath-based reliable routing protocol called MRFR, which is an appealing protocol for fault tolerant reliable data transmission. However, However, MRFR has no concern with the problem of load balancing, which results in increasing congestion and consuming high energy at some network nodes. As a result, the problem affects negatively the performance of the network. Taking account of load balancing as a route selection criteria can avoid routing through the congested nodes and allows to find better routes. In this paper, we extend MRFR by considering load balancing in the route discovery process of reliable communication. The simulation results showed that the proposed protocol outperforms AODV in terms of end-to-end delay, packet delivery radio, and average jitter. Compared to MRFR, the LBR protocol has the same packet delivery ratio, and obtains a better efficiency of load balancing.

Secured and reliable routing is a crucial factor for improving the performance of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) since these networks are susceptible to many types of attacks. The existing assumption about the internal nodes in wireless mesh networks is that they cooperate well during the forwarding of packets all the time. However, it is not always true due to the presence of malicious and mistrustful nodes. Hence, it is essential to establish a secure, reliable and stable route between a source node and a destination node in WMN. In this paper, a trust based secure routing algorithm is proposed for enhancing security and reliability of WMN, which contains cross layer and subject logic based reliable reputation scheme with security tag model for providing effective secured routing. This model uses only the trusted nodes with the forwarding reliability of data transmission and it isolates the malicious nodes from the providing path. Moreover, every node in this model is assigned with a security tag that is used for efficient authentication. Thus, by combining authentication, trust and subject logic, the proposed approach is capable of choosing the trusted nodes effectively to participate in forwarding the packets of trustful peer nodes successfully. The simulation results obtained from this work show that the proposed routing protocol provides optimal network performance in terms of security and packet delivery ratio.

애드혹 네트워크는 기존의 유무선 네트워크의 고정된 기반시설(infrastructure) 없이 이동 호스트들만으로 구성된 무선 환경의 네트워크이다. 애드혹 네트워크의 기본 특성, 즉, 링크의 불안정성, 각 노드의 물리적 보호의 한계, 노드간 연결의 산재성, 토폴로지의 동적인 변화 뿐 아니라 악의적인 노드의 활동으로 인해 라우팅 보안에 대한 위험성은 매우 높다 따라서 본 논문에서는 애드혹 네트워크에서 경로 탐색이나 설정 과정중 악의적인 노드가 라우팅 메시지를 변조, 위조하거나 다른 노드를 가장하여 잘못된 라우팅 정보를 네트워크에 주입시키는 공격을 방지하기 위하여 일방향 해쉬 함수를 기초로 한 one-time 전자 서명을 이용한 라우팅 보안 메커니즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 메커니즘에서 노드들은 라우팅 메시지를 서명하기 위하여 공개키 요소의 첫 세트를 반복적으로 해쉬 함수에 적용함으로써 해쉬 체인을 생성하고, 생성된 해쉬 체인으로부터 공개키 요소들을 여러 세트 유도하여 해쉬 테이블을 생성한다. 해쉬 테이블 생성 후, 노드들은 자신의 공개키 요소를 다른 노드들에게 공표하고 라우팅 메시지를 전송할 경우 one-time 전자 서명을 포함한다. 이러한 one-time 전자 서명은 라우팅 메시지를 인증하고 메시지에 무결성을 제공한다. 제안하는 라우팅 보안 메커니즘은 이동성이 높은 네트워크 환경에서는 보안을 고려하지 않은 라우팅 메커니즘에 비해 라우팅 오버헤드가 좀더 높아지지만, 경로를 탐색하고 설정하는 과정에서 악의적인 노드의 공격에 대하여 훨씬 높은 안전성을 제공함을 시뮬레이션을 통해서 확인할 수 있다.

IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force) NSIS(Next Step in Signaling) 워킹그룹에서는 MN(Mobile Node)의 핸드오버로 인해 데이타 전달 경로가 변경된 경우, 이전 경로와 새로운 경로가 분기 또는 통합되는 지점에 있는 노드인 CRN(Crossover Node)을 발견하는 방안을 제안하였다. 이 방안에서는 CRN 발견을 통해 새로운 경로 상에 자원예약 시그널링 지연을 줄이고 이전 경로와 새로운 경로의 공통경로 상에 중복 자원예약을 피함으로써 핸드오버 이후의 자원예약을 효율적으로 수행한다. 그러나 MN이 핸드오버하는 동안 지속적으로 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장받기 위해서는 핸드오버 이전에 새로운 경로 상의 사전자원예약이 이루어져야 한다. 그런데 아직 핸드오버하지 않은 MN이 새로운 경로 상에 사전자원예약을 수행하려는 경우에는 기존의 CRN 메커니즘을 적용하기 어렵다. 이에 본 논문에서는 현재 자인이 예약된 경로와 MN이 핸드오버 할 가능성이 있는 하나 이상의 지역의 새로운 경로 상에 CRN이 될 가능성이 있는 노드인 PCRN(Passive Crossover Node)을 발견하고, 이후 새로운 경로 상에 사전자원예약을 수행하는 방안을 제안한다.

It is critical to design energy-efficient routing protocols for battery-limited mobile ad hoc networks, especially in which the energy-consuming MIMO techniques are employed. However, there are several challenges in such a design: first, it is difficult to characterize the energy consumption of a MIMO-based link; second, without a careful design, the broadcasted RREP packets, which are used in most energy-efficient routing protocols, could flood over the networks, and the destination node cannot decide when to reply the communication request; third, due to node mobility and persistent channel degradation, the selected route paths would break down frequently and hence the protocol overhead is increased further. To address these issues, in this paper, a novel Greedy Energy-Efficient Routing (GEER) protocol is proposed: (a) a generalized energy consumption model for the MIMO-based link, considering the trade-off between multiplexing and diversity gains, is derived to minimize link energy consumption and obtain the optimal transmit model; (b) a simple greedy route discovery algorithm and a novel adaptive reply strategy are adopted to speed up path setup with a reduced establishment overhead; (c) a lightweight route maintenance mechanism is introduced to adaptively rebuild the broken links. Extensive simulation results show that, in comparison with the conventional solutions, the proposed GEER protocol can significantly reduce the energy consumption by up to 68.74%.

기존의 이동 Ad Hoc On-demand 라우팅 알고리즘은 단지 경로의 손실이 발생할 경우에만 경로 발견을 시작하며, 단절된 경로를 발견하고 새로운 경로 확립하는데 막대한 경비와 시간이 소요된다. 본 논문에서는 기존 라우팅 알고리즘에서 사전 활성화 경로 선택과 관리유지 방식을 추가하는 것을 제안한다. 본 연구의 핵심 아이디어는 수신되는 패킷의 신호파워 세기가 손실되기 전의 최적 임계치 신호파워 세기까지 근접하게 되면 경로는 손실될 경향이 높다고 간주하는 것과 수신되는 패킷의 신호파워 세기가 최적 임계치 이하로 떨어졌을 경우, 사전경고 패킷을 발생하는 것이다. 사전경고 패킷을 발생 후에, 송신 노드는 계속적으로 패킷이 전송하는 동안 사전에 경로 발견을 시작하기 때문에, 모든 경로의 단절에 대한 잠재적인 가능성을 피할 수 있다. 성능평가 연구를 위하여 네트워크 시뮬레이토(NS2)가 사용된다. 결과에 의하면 된 알고리즘은 기존의 DSR과 AODV 프로토콜보다 패킷 전달율과 평균 지연시간 그리고 오버헤드 측면에서 성능이 우수한 경향을 나타낸다.

Autophagy, which is a process of self eating, has gained interest in the past decade due to its both beneficial and controversial roles in various biological phenomena. The discovery of autophagy genes (ATG) in yeast has led to focused research designed to elucidate the mechanism and regulation of this process. The role of autophagy in a variety of biological phenomena, including human disease, is still the subject of debate. However, recent findings suggest that autophagy is a highly regulated process with both beneficial and negative effects. Indeed, studies conducted using various model organisms have demonstrated that increased autophagy leads to an extended lifespan. Despite these findings, it is still unknown if all pathways leading to extended lifespan converge at the process of autophagy or not. Here, an overview of modern developments related to the process of autophagy, its regulation and the molecular machinery involved is presented. In addition, this review focuses on one of the beneficial aspects of autophagy, its role in lifespan regulation.

The AODV protocol uses many RREQ messages and one RREP message in the path-discovery process. This protocol has only one metric, the number of hops. Although it is simple, this protocol is not efficient. To avoid this problem, we propose a new AODV with two auxiliary metrics (AuM-2-AODV). The AuM-2-AODV protocol tries multiple route replies, which reduces the chance of path failure and helps the network obtain a better data rate. It has two auxiliary metrics, the remaining energy of its nodes and the number of HELLO messages received at the nodes. With these two metrics, the reliable path from the source node to the destination node will be chosen. In this paper, the performance of the AuM-2-AODV is evaluated using the NS-3 simulator. The performance results show that AuM-2-AODV provides greater throughput and packet delivery ratio by 20% and up to 50% and about 100% in some cases, respectively, than previous protocols.

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.

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks(MANETs) consists of mobile nodes which communicate with each other without any centralized infrastructure. Message broadcasting by flooding for route discovery in MANET can result in high redundant retransmission, contention and collision of broadcasting packet, known as the broadcast storm problem collectively. The cross-layer design is adopted in this paper, which lets routing layer share the received signal strength information at MAC layer. Also this paper proposes a new probabilistic approach that dynamically adjusts the rebroadcasting probability of a node for routing request packets (RREQs) according to the received signal strength. The simulation results show that the proposed approach demonstrates better performance than blind flooding, fixed probabilistic broadcasting approaches.
