Mobile ad hoc networks represent self-configuring networks of mobile devices that communicate without relying on a fixed infrastructure. However, traditional routing protocols in such networks encounter challenges in selecting efficient and reliable routes due to dynamic nature of these networks caused by unpredictable mobility of nodes. This often results in a failure to meet the low-delay and low-energy consumption requirements crucial for such networks. In order to overcome such challenges, our paper introduces a novel multi-objective and adaptive routing scheme based on the Q-learning reinforcement learning algorithm. The proposed routing scheme dynamically adjusts itself based on measured network states, such as traffic congestion and mobility. The proposed approach utilizes Q-learning to select routes in a decentralized manner, considering factors like energy consumption, load balancing, and the selection of stable links. We present a formulation of the multi-objective optimization problem and discuss adaptive adjustments of the Q-learning parameters to handle the dynamic nature of the network. To speed up the learning process, our scheme incorporates informative shaped rewards, providing additional guidance to the learning agents for better solutions. Implemented on the widely-used AODV routing protocol, our proposed approaches demonstrate better performance in terms of energy efficiency and improved message delivery delay, even in highly dynamic network environments, when compared to the traditional AODV. These findings show the potential of leveraging reinforcement learning for efficient routing in ad hoc networks, making the way for future advancements in the field of mobile ad hoc networking.

본 논문에서는 격자형 Ad-hoc 전술통신망에서 Alternating Routing Algorithm 의 적합성 연구를 수행하였다. 이 통신망의 신호 방식은 공통선 신호 방식을 사용하며, 경로선정 방식은 Flood search Routing을 사용한다. 분석 결과 alternate routing을 함으로써 좀 더 낮은 차단확률(Stocking Probability)을 기대할 수 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

ad-hoc 망에서 라우팅 프로토콜의 부하균등(load balancing)은 이동성과 전송 지연사이의 trade-off로 인하여 성능 관점에서 중요한 이슈가 되어왔다. 부하균등을 고려한 SLAP(Simple Load-balancing Ad-hoc routing Protocol)이 제안되었으나 혼잡이 발생하거나 망의 토폴로지가 변화하였을 때 유연하게 대처하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 ad-hoc 망에서 트래픽 혼잡 제어와 망의 이동성에 적응하기 위하여 동적인 임계치를 사용하는 부하균등 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 제안된 프로토콜은 성능은 GloMoSim으로 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 AODV, DSR, SLAP과 지연, 패킷 전송률 등을 비교하여 평가하였다.

This paper presents a simple but efficient scheme incorporating a reputation-based approach and a cross-layer approach, called the SIM scheme, for maintaining reliable connectivity and high performance in ad-hoc wireless networks. The SIM scheme incorporates the following two things: an ad-hoc routing scheme with a reputation-based approach exploiting the game theory concept based on an evolutionarily stable strategy, and a cross-layer approach between the network layer and the transport layer employing a reputation-based approach.

In this paper, the RFID / USN-based ad-hoc network structure is presented for efficient operation of a container terminal yard. Communication between fixed or mobile devices in the container terminal yard is accomplished through the ad-hoc node, to collect the status information of a container in real time. Any outside shipper of the container as well as central server allows to share the status information of a container through ad-hoc communication. In addition, to predict the maximum wireless transmission range of nodes by RFID tag position in the yard, LAODV (Location based AODV) routing protocol is proposed. The validity is proved by performance evaluation via computer simulation.

Ad-hoc networks consist of a set of mobile hosts that communicate using wireless links, without the use of other supporting communication facilities (such as base stations, etc.). Therefore, the topology of an Ad-hoc network frequently changes due to the movement of mobile host, which nay lead to sudden packet loss. Recently, the large amount of research has focused on the routing protocols needed in such an environment. In this paper, TCP Reno, Sack, and Tahoe versions are analysed using DSR protocol which is the representative On-Demand routing protocol in Ad-hoc wireless network. As the result of this simulation, we know that TCP Reno relatively has higher throughput than that of Sack and Tahoe, and TCP Reno has more stable performance than that of TCP Tahoe and Sack, regardless of the speed of mobile node and the size of topology.

Ad­hoc Network는 Mobile Node들 간에 Multi­hop 무선 링크로 구성되는 Network을 일컫는 말이며, 동시에 Network를 통제하는 Infrastructure없이 Node들 간의 상호 통신에 의해서 Network이 구성되기도 하고, Node들이 이동하거나 환경적인 장애에 의해서 일시적으로 Network이 구성되지 않기도 한다. 이 논문에서는 대표적인 On­demand Routing Algorithm인 DSR를 이용하여, 두 개의 경로를 유지하여 Primary Path에 문제가 발생하는 경우, Secondary Path가 Primary Path로 전환되어 Data를 전송하고, 이 전 Primary Path에 대하여 지역적으로 복구(Repair)를 수행하고, 설정된 Secondary Path에 대해서도 특정한 조건에서 복구작업을 수행함으로써 Ad­hoc Network에서 경로를 찾고 설정하는데 필요한 Routing Overhead를 줄이고 Ad­hoc Network의 특성상 반드시 보완하여야 하는 전송 Route에 대한 Robustness를 강화하는 방법이다.

The Cognitive Radio (CR) paradigm in tactical ad hoc networks is an important element of future military communications for network-centric warfare. This paper presents a novel Cognitive Link State Routing protocol for CR-based tactical ad hoc networks. The proposed scheme provides prompt and reliable routes for Primary User (PU) activity through procedures that incorporate two main functions: PU-aware power adaptation and channel switching. For the PU-aware power adaptation, closer multipoint relay nodes are selected to prevent network partition and ensure successful PU communication. The PU-aware channel switching is proactively conducted using control messages to switch to a new available channel based on a common channel list. Our simulation study based on the ns-3 simulator demonstrates that the proposed routing scheme delivers significantly improved performance in terms of average end-to-end delay, jitter, and packet delivery ratio.

In this paper, we present an architecture for supporting QoS multicast routing in mobile ad-hoc networks. The proposed architecture consists of three parts as follows. The first part is a mobility-based clustering as underlying structure for supporting stable multicast services. In the second part, a framework which can support and evaluate the stability of route and network for supporting QoS routing is presented. In the third part, we describe a method which uses two structures of the first and second parts for supporting QoS multicast routing services. The performance evaluation of our proposed architecture is accomplished via modeling and simulation using the Optimized Network Engineering tool(OPNET).

The application of mathematical analysis to the study of wireless ad hoc networks has met with limited success due to the complexity of mobility, traffic models and the dynamic topology. A scenario based universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) time division duplex (TDD) opportunistic cellular system with an ad hoc behaviour that operates over UMTS frequency division duplex (FDD) licensed cellular network is considered. In this paper, we present a new routing metric which overall improves system performance in terms of interference and routing which operate in an ad hoc network in an opportunistic manner. Therefore we develop a simulation tool that addresses the goal of analysis and assessment of UMTS TDD opportunistic radio system with ad hoc behavior in coexistence with a UMTS FDD primary cellular networks.
