Generally, the clustering of sensor nodes in WSN is a useful mechanism that helps to cope with scalability problem and, if combined with network data aggregation, may increase the energy efficiency of the network. The Hierarchical clustering routing algorithm is a typical algorithm for enhancing overall energy efficiency of network, which selects cluster-head in order to send the aggregated data arriving from the node in cluster to a base station. In this paper, we propose the improved-LEACH that uses comparably simple and light-weighted policy to select cluster-head nodes, which results in reduction of the clustering overhead and overall power consumption of network. By using fine-grained power model, the simulation results show that i-LEACH can reduce clustering overhead compared with the well-known previous works such as LEACH. As result, i-LEACH algorithm and LEACH algorithm was compared, network power-consumption of i-LEACH algorithm was improved than LEACH algorithm with 25%, and network-traffic was improved 16%.

When the legacy multicast routing protocols are adopted in If-based mobile core networks, there are some problems such as traffic injection from unnecessary sources, traffic overhead by group management and router performance degradation by large amount of multicast session information. In this paper, we propose a stateless multicast mechanism which has no need to maintain multicast information for session status and reduces redundant network overhead for maintaining multicast tree. In addition interworking with IGMPv3 gets rid of traffic from unnecessary sources which have no registration from receivers. The operations of essential components including a gateway node for interworking with the legacy Internet multicast network, a gateway node for transparency to radio access network and a intermediate node in mobile core networks, are definitely defined and the proposed communication architecture is completed. Finally we evaluate and approve the performance of the proposed architecture by means of well-designed network simulation.

Mobile Ad-hoc networks have recently attracted a lot of attention in the research community as well as in industry. Although the previous research mainly focused on various of Ad-hoc in routing, we consider, in this paper, how to efficiently support applications such as variable Goocasting basd on Ad-hoc networks. The goal of a geocasting uotocol is deliver data packets to a group of nodes that are located within a specified geocasting region. Previous research that support geocast nice in mobilie computing based on Ad-hoc have the non-optimization problem of data delivery path, overhead by frequent reconstruction of the geocast tree, and service disruption problem. In this paper, we propose the mobility pattern based geocast technique using variable service range according to the nobility of destination node and resource reservation to solve this problem. The experimental results show that our proposed mechanism has improved performance of Connection & Network Overhead than previous research.

In mobile ad hoc networks, an application scenario requires mostly group mobility behavior in the mix of group moving nodes and individually moving nodes. The nodes of those applications tend to belong to the movement group with similar movement behavior. Group mobility is one of the good methods to improve scalability, and reduces the protocol overhead. In this paper, we propose the multicast architecture which regards nodes that have equal group mobility in the heterogeneous group mobility network as the single entity with the multiple interfaces and composes multicast tree, The logical cooperative entity-based multicast architecture accommodates the scalability, the multicast tree simplification, and the protocol overhead reduction which arc obtained from the hierarchical multicast architecture, while it maintains the nat multicast architecture for the data transmission. It also prevents the concentration of the energy consumption dispersing data forwarding load into the several ingress/egress nodes. Results obtained through simulations show that logical cooperative entity based multicast protocol with multiple interfaces offers the protocol scalability and the efficient data transmission.

Group multicast refers to the kind of multicast in which every member of a group is allowed to transmit data to the group. The goal of routing algorithms for group multicast is to construct a set of low cost multicast trees including all the group members with QoS (e.g., bandwidth) constraint. There have been several algorithms proposed: source tree and shared tree approaches. However, the latter approach has a low success rate in constructing a shared multicast tree, and the former approach suffers from high control overhead and low scalability as stoup size increases. In this paper, we present a heuristic algorithm which varies the number of multicast trees according to the network load. The simulation results show not only that our algorithm outperforms the shared tree approach in terms of the success rate, but also that it has lower control overhead than the source tree approach while guaranteeing the same success rate.

In this paper, we propose an effective multicasting protocol in wireless ad-hoc networks. Conventional wired and wireless network multicast protocols do not perform well in wireless ad hoc networks because they were designed without consideration of ad hoc environments such as node mobility, limited bandwidth, high error probability. To solve this problem, some multicasting protocols for ad hoc network have been proposed in the literature. However, these protocols can not provide high packet delivery ratio, low control packet overhead and low expended bandwidth at the same time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose RTMA that improves multicasting performance in wireless ad hoc networks. RTMA calculates its current region from its position information by using GPS in order to make tree among the multicast group nodes in the same region. The proposed region-based tree method is for high packet delivery ratio, low control packet overhead when many senders send data packets. RTMA makes a reliable tree by using speed information to fill a gap of the weak points of the tree structure. When searching the routing path, RTMA selects the reliable path excluding high speed nodes.

As users generate lots of contents independently of time and places anytime and anywhere together with a rapid development of mobile wireless communication technologies and an explosive dissemination of smart devices, content centric networking (CCN) has emerged as a new networking architecture. However, as CCN is based on one to one message exchanges, it is not appropriate for ad hoc network environment that has frequent network topology changes, which results in high control overhead and low transmission throughput. So, this paper proposes the new content sharing methods using group interest messages in CCN ad hoc environment. It is shown from the simulation that the proposed method can provide low control overhead and high transmission throughput.

Most researches on the mobile ad hoc network (MANET) have been focused on routing protocols, but for the real service provision DNS(Domain Name System) has to be supported first. Due to the inherent characteristics of the mobile ad hoc network, the DNS of the wired network is assumed to be not good for the MANET environment. The approach of distributed DNSs can easily adapt to the node mobility, but incurs the name conflict resolution overhead. On the other hand, the centralized approach performs the name resolution based on the unicast communication without causing the name conflict resolution overhead. The most important issue of the centralized approach is to provide the seamless name resolution service under server mobility. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new centralized DNS, Manet DNS, which works efficiently on name allocation and management and solves the network merging and partitioning problem as well as providing the seamless name resolution service.

DTN is the next generation network that is used in not guaranteed end-to-end connection such as communication between planet and satellite, frequent connection severance, and not enough for qualified network infrastructure. In this paper, we propose the hybrid Spray-and-Wait algorithm to predict the node contact time by monitoring the periodic contacts information between the nodes. Based on this method, we select one node on the basis of prediction time and copy a message for spray and wait algorithm. In order to verify the the hybrid Spray and Wait algorithm, we use the ONE(Opportunistic Network Environment) Simulator of Helsinki University. The delivery probability of the proposed algorithm is compared to the Binary Spray and Wait algorithm, it is showed that it has 10% less overhead than Binary Spray and Wait routing. It has also shown that it reduces unnecessary copying of this message.
