Ns-2 is a proven simulator which is widely utilized to evaluate the performance of wired and wireless network. Ns-2.33 version introduced the extended version including the modules which the core functions of existing 802.11 PHY and MAC layer are implemented. However, if the error rate, one of most important parameters to evaluate a performance of wireless network, is applied to the extended version, the simulation is ceased with several fatal errors. Furthermore, a packet error is detected and discarded on MAC layer in the traditional protocol architecture, but there is the problem which can't identify information about a packet with error by processing packet error on PHY layer in this version. In this paper, we modify the extended version to resolve the above mentioned problems. And also we perform ns-2 simulation using the modified version on the IEEE 802.11p based vehicular ad-hoc networks, and then analyze effects of error rate.

Each sensor node can know its location in several ways, if the node process the information based on its geographical position in sensor networks. In the localization scheme using GPS, there could be nodes that don't know their locations because the scheme requires line of sight to radio wave. Moreover, this scheme is high costly and consumes a lot of power. The localization scheme without GPS uses a sophisticated mathematical algorithm estimating location of sensor nodes that may be inaccurate. AHLoS(Ad Hoc Localization System) is a hybrid scheme using both GPS and location estimation algorithm. In AHLoS, the GPS node, which can receive its location from GPS, broadcasts its location to adjacent normal nodes which are not GPS devices. Normal nodes can estimate their location by using iterative triangulation algorithms if they receive at least three beacons which contain the position informations of neighbor nodes. But, there are some cases that a normal node receives less than two beacons by geographical conditions, network density, movements of nodes in sensor networks. We propose an indirect localization scheme for low-density sensor nodes which are difficult to receive directly at least three beacons from GPS nodes in wireless network.

Lightweight trust mechanism with lightweight cryptographic primitives has emerged as an important mechanism in resource constraint wireless sensor based mobile devices. In this work, outlier detection in lightweight Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) is extended to create the space of reliable trust cycle with anomaly detection mechanism and minimum energy losses [1]. Further, system is tested against outliers through detection ratios and anomaly scores before incorporating virtual programmable nodes to increase the efficiency. Security in proposed system is verified through ProVerif automated toolkit and mathematical analysis shows that it is strong against bad mouthing and on-off attacks. Performance of proposed technique is analyzed over different MANET routing protocols with variations in number of nodes and it is observed that system provide good amount of throughput with maximum of 20% increase in delay on increase of maximum of 100 nodes. System is reflecting good amount of scalability, optimization of resources and security. Lightweight modeling and policy analysis with lightweight cryptographic primitives shows that the intruders can be detection in few milliseconds without any conflicts in access rights.

최근 센서 네트워크 분야를 비롯해 네트워크 분야에서 내용 보호, 인증뿐만 아니라 Source의 위치 프라이비시와 관련하여 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 특히 센서 네트워크에서의 Source 위치는 실제 센서의 지리적 위치이기 때문에 Source의 위치를 노출하지 않는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그리고 인터넷과 Ad-Hoc 네트워크에서 익명성(Anonymity)을 제공하기 위한 기법들이 많이 제안되었지만, 이러한 기법들은 센서 네트워크에 적합하지 않기 때문에 센서 네트워크의 특성에 맞는 익명성 제공 요법이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Source의 익명성과 관련해 센서네트워크에서 나타날 수 있는 Eavesdropper의 유형을 정의하고, 이러한 Eavesdropper의 유형에 따라 Source의 익명성을 제공할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 그리고 제안한 방법이 얼마만큼의 익명성을 제공하는가를 정량화하기 위해 엔트로피(Entropy) 성질을 이용해 수학적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 제안하는 방법이 보다 높은 익명성을 제공하고, 센서의 전송 거리가 Source의 익명성 제공에 있어 매우 중요한 요소임을 확인하였다.

MANET routing protocols must support not only wireless networking without any relaying on network infrastructure, but also dynamic management of routing information caused by node mobility. Hence, they are one of important routing protocols for USN. Recently DYMO is regarded as a promising routing protocol for UMT because it is simple and easy to extend as well as it requires less networking load than others. In this paper, we design and implement DYMO routing protocol into various operation systems. Also, we develop a DYMO conformance test tool to evaluate our implementations.

Wireless Personal Area Networks(WAPANs) are designed for short-range ad hoc connectivity among portable devices. They have gained much attention in the industry recently. One of them, High-rate WPAN, is designed to support multimedia traffic that requires high data rates. But, High-rate WPAN standards don't specify the time slot assignment scheduling method of CAT(Channel Time Allocation). So, there has been many studies regarding time slot assignment scheduling of CAT. However, present studies involve demerits about not applying various types of errors in air interlace or having a starvation of a specific DEV(data device). In this paper, we propose algorithms about supplying the intermediate channel assignment in order to avoid these demerits. This method will help other methods that use time slot assignment scheduling of CTA.

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are comprised of wireless mobile nodes characterized by a randomly changing topology, high mobility, availability of geographic position, and fewer power constraints. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising candidate for the physical layer of VANET because of the inherent characteristics of the spectral efficiency and robustness to channel impairments. The susceptibility of OFDM to Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) is a challenging issue. The high mobility of nodes in VANET causes higher Doppler shifts, which results in ICI in the OFDM system. In this paper, a frequency domain com-btype channel estimation was used to cancel out ICI. The channel frequency response at the pilot tones was estimated using a Least Square (LS) estimator. An efficient interpolation technique is required to estimate the channel at the data tones with low interpolation error. This paper proposes a robust interpolation technique to estimate the channel frequency response at the data subcarriers. The channel induced noise tended to degrade the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the system. Parallel concatenated Convolutional codes were used for error correction. At the decoding end, different decoding algorithms were considered for the component decoders of the iterative Turbo decoder. A performance and complexity comparison among the various decoding algorithms was also carried out.

We proposed a simple power allocation scheme to maximize network lifetime for "amplify and forward(AF)" and "decode and forward(DF)". To maximize network lifetime, it is important to allocate power fairly among nodes in a network as well as to minimize total transmitted power. In the proposed scheme, the allocated power is proportional to the residual power and also satisfies the required SNR at destination node. In this paper, we calculate power allocation in model of AF and DF. We evaluated the proposed power allocation scheme using extensive simulation and simulation results show that proposed power allocation obtains much longer network lifetime than the equal power allocation.

애드 혹 네트워크는 Access Point 나 기지국과 같은 기반 구조 없이 이동 노드들로만 구성되는 자율적이고 독립적인 네트워크이다. 각각의 노드들은 이동성을 가지기 때문에 이들로 이루어진 네트워크는 다양한 형태를 이루게 되며, 이들은 무선 자원과 에너지 상의 제약을 가지기 때문에 클러스터 형성과 유지 및 관리를 통해 네트워크의 안정성을 향상시키는 알고리즘이 필요하다. 애드 혹 네트워크 환경의 클러스터링 기법에서 클러스터 헤드는 호스트의 기능을 수행함과 동시에 라우팅 기능을 담당하는 라우터의 역할까지 수행한다. 따라서 클러스터 헤드의 에너지 고갈이나 부재는 클러스터를 붕괴시키고, 전체 네트워크의 통신을 어렵게 하며, 나아가서는 네트워크의 수명을 단축시킨다. 결국 클러스터 헤드의 효율적인 관리는 전반적인 네트워크의 성능을 결정짓는 핵심이라고 볼 수 있다. 때문에 본 논문에서는 무선 애드 혹 네트워크 환경에서 2-Level 트리 기반의 클러스터 라우팅 프로토콜을 제시한다. 본 논문에서는 클러스터 헤드와 이웃 노드들의 유지 및 관리를 통해 전체적인 네트워크의 throughput 을 향상 시키는 클러스터 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 시뮬레이션을 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘이 목적에 맞게 동작하는지 확인할 수 있었다.

최근 무선 네트워크 기술이 점차 각광을 받으면서 다양한 애드 혹 환경에서의 라우팅 프로토콜이 제안되고 있다. 하지만 애드 혹 네트워크라는 환경의 특성 상 보안상 취약한 문제점을 가지고 있으며, 기존의 유선 네트워크 환경에서 제안되었던 보안 라우팅 프로토콜을 적용시키기 힘들다는 문제점이 있다. 이에 따라 보안성을 보완한 새로운 애드 혹 라우팅 프로토콜이 제안되었지만 다양한 무선 네트워크 환경의 변화에 유동적으로 대응하기 힘들고 보안적인 측면에 집중을 한 나머지 에너지소모 측면에서는 단점을 노출하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 애드 혹 네트워크 환경에 적용 가능하고, 기존의 보안 라우팅 프로토콜에 비해 에너지 효율적인 보안 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안하고자 한다. 보안 정보의 보호를 위해 Tree 구조를 도입하고 보안 단계를 통한 Multi-path를 구성하여 악의적인 노드의 Dropping Attack에 대비하고, 예기치 못한 Data Packet의 손실에 대해서도 효율적으로 대처하게 하였다. 실험 결과 악의적인 노드가 존재하는 네트워크 환경에서 기존의 애드 혹 네트워크 보안 라우팅 프로토콜보다 21%정도의 패킷 전송 성공률을 높일 수 있었으며 또한 각 노드의 에너지를 균등하게 소모함으로써 전체적인 네트워크의 생존시간이 연장되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
