The paper considers MIMO two-way scheme to optimize the end to end capacity in local wireless mesh network. The basic idea is to perform data transmission via intermediate cooperative nodes and cooperative relay therefore higher throughput can be achieved. Each node is equipped with multiple antennas, and has two time slots one for transmission (Tx) and the other is reception (Rx), which are arranged alternatively in the network. In the conventional SISO network, it takes at least four time slots to accomplish the function of two-way relay. Moreover, cooperative technique is used in order to enhance multiplexing of forward and backward streams.

Recently, wireless networks are becoming an important infrastructure for the critical large-scale applications such as cyber-physical systems and next generation industrial automations. However, the fundamental performance uncertainty of wireless networks may incur the serious instability problem of the overall systems. This paper proposes the proactive network optimizer to guarantee the application demands without any real-time link monitoring information of the networks. In particularly, the proposed proactive optimizer is the cross-layer approach to jointly optimize the routing path and traffic distribution in order to guarantee the performance demand within a maximum k number of link faults. Through the simulations, the proposed proactive network optimizer provides better robustness than the traditional existing reactive networks. Furthermore, the proactive network does not expose to the major weakness of the reactive networks such as the performance degradation due to the erroneous link monitoring information and the network reconfiguration cost.

This paper relates to the study about the street security light management system. The purpose of the wireless remote management system is to manage street security lights efficiently. The system is composed of three components like light controller, CDMA gateway and web based remote management server. The zigbee solution is adopted to make local wireless network between street security lights. The CDMA network is used for the wireless communication between street security light controller and the remote control center. The gateway to interconnect zigbee network and CDMA was designed with low power 32 bits Cortex M3 micro-controller. For the data communication between the management server and the gateway, SMS and socket based TCP streaming is used. The management server sends SMS to the gateway to deliver light control and management requests, and the gateway replies with the light controllers report via TCP streaming. By using both SMS and TCP streaming communication, it was verified that simple cost effective management is possible for street security lights. We tried real test for 95 street security lights in real environment during two months and analyzed the practical possibility for mass supply.

Worldwide inter-operability for microwave access (WiMAX) is a promising technology that provides high data throughput with low delays for various user types and modes of operation. While much research had been conducted on physical and MAC layers, little attention has been paid to a comprehensive and efficient security solution for WiMAX. We propose a hybrid security solution combining identity-based cryptography (IBC) and certificate based approaches. We provide detailed message exchange steps in order to achieve a complete security that addresses the various kind of threats identified in previous research. While attaining this goal, efficient fusion of both techniques resulted in a 53% bandwidth improvement compared to the standard's approach, PKMv2. Also, in this hybrid approach, we have clarified the key revocation procedures and key lifetimes. Consequently, to the best of knowledge our approach is the first work that unites the advantages of both techniques for improved security while maintaining the low overhead forWiMAX.

Wireless tactical network (WTN) is the most important present-day technology enabling modern network centric warfare. It inherits many features from WMNs, since the WTN is based on existing wireless mesh networks (WMNs). However, it also has distinctive characteristics, such as hierarchical structures and tight QoS (Quality-of-Service) requirements. Little research has been conducted on hierarchical protocols to support various QoS in WMN. We require new protocols specifically optimized for WTNs. Control packets are generally required to find paths and reserve resources for QoS requirements, so data throughput is not degraded due to overhead. The fundamental solution is to adopt topology aggregation, in which a low tier node aggregates and simplifies the topology information and delivers it to a high tier node. The overhead from control packet exchange can be reduced greatly due to decreased information size. Although topology aggregation is effective for low overhead, it also causes the inaccuracy of topology information; thus, incurring low QoS support capability. Therefore, we need a new topology aggregation algorithm to achieve high accuracy. In this paper, we propose a new aggregation algorithm based on star topology. Noting the hierarchical characteristics in military and hierarchical networks, star topology aggregation can be used effectively. Our algorithm uses a limited number of bypasses to increase the exactness of the star topology aggregation. It adjusts topology parameters whenever it adds a bypass. Consequently, the result is highly accurate and has low computational complexity.

Static wireless multi-hop networks, such as wireless mesh networks and wireless sensor networks have proliferated in recent years because of they are easy to deploy and have low installation cost. Two key measures are used to evaluate the performance of a multicast tree algorithm or protocol : end-to-end delay and the number of transmissions. End-to-end delay is the most important measure in terms of QoS because it affects the total throughput in wireless networks. Delay is similar to the hop count or path length from the source to each destination and is directly related to packet success ratio. In wireless networks, each node uses the air medium to transmit data, and thus, bandwidth consumption is related to the number of transmission nodes. A network has many transmitting nodes, which will cause many collisions and queues because of congestion. In this paper, we optimize two metrics through a guaranteed delay scheme. We provide an integer linear programming formulation to minimize the number of transmissions with a guaranteed hop count and preprocessing to solve the aforementioned problem. We extend this scheme not only with the guaranteed minimum hop count, but also with one or more guaranteed delay bounds to compromise two key metrics. We also provide an explanation of the proposed heuristic algorithm and show its performance and results.

The characteristic of the backbond for distribution service in WMNs(Wireless Mesh Networks) is that WMNs has multiple links connected to mesh points and dynamic routing protocol such as AODV to establish routing paths. When the terminal is communicating with the service through new AP, mobile nodes can resume communication by setting only the link between new AP and mobile node in the case of existing WLANs, but WMNs needs path establishment process in multihop networks. Our goal in this paper is to support the seamless communication service by eliminating path establishment delay in WMNs. We present the method that eliminates the handover latency by predicting the location of handover using GPS information and making the paths to their destination in advance. We implement mesh nodes using embedded board that contains proposed handover method and evaluate performance of handover latency. Our experiment shows that handover delay time is decreased from 2.47 to 0.05 seconds and data loss rate is decreased from 20~35% in the existing method to 0~10% level.
