In delay tolerant networks (DTNs), delay is inevitable; thus, making better use of buffer space to maximize the packet delivery rate is more important than delay reduction. In DTNs, epidemic routing is a well-known routing protocol. However, epidemic routing is very sensitive to buffer size. Once the buffer size in nodes is insufficient, the performance of epidemic routing will be drastically reduced. In this paper, we propose a buffer scheme to optimize the performance of epidemic routing on the basis of the Lagrangian and dual problem models. By using the proposed optimal buffer scheme, the packet delivery rate in epidemic routing is considerably improved. Our simulation results show that epidemic routing with the proposed optimal buffer scheme outperforms the original epidemic routing in terms of packet delivery rate and average end-to-end delay. It is worth noting that the improved epidemic routing needs much less buffer size compared to that of the original epidemic routing for ensuring the same packet delivery rate. In particular, even though the buffer size is very small (e.g., 50), the packet delivery rate in epidemic routing with the proposed optimal buffer scheme is still 95.8%, which can satisfy general communication demand.

In this paper, an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)-based minimum end-to-end delay (MED) distributed routing scheme for mobile backhaul wireless mesh networks is proposed. The proposed scheme selects routing paths based on OFDMA subcarrier synchronization control, subcarrier availability, and delay. In the proposed scheme, OFDMA is used to transmit frames between mesh routers using type-I hybrid automatic repeat request over multipath Rayleigh fading channels. Compared with other distributed routing algorithms, such as most forward within radius R, farthest neighbor routing, nearest neighbor routing, and nearest with forwarding progress, simulation results show that the proposed MED routing can reduce end-to-end delay and support highly reliable routing using only local information of neighbor nodes.

In VANET, frequent movement of nodes causes dynamic changes of the network topology. Therefore the routing protocol, which is stable to effectively respond the changes of the network topology, is required. Moreover, the existing cluster-based routing protocol, that is the hybrid approach, has routing delay due to the frequent re-electing of the cluster header. In addition, the routing table of CBRP has only one hop distant neighbor nodes. PCBRP (Paired CBRP), proposed in this paper, ties two clusters in one pair of clusters to make longer radius. Then the pair of the cluster headers manages and operates corresponding member nodes. In the current CBRP, when the cluster header leaves the cluster the delay, due to the re-electing a header, should be occurred. However, in PCBRP, another cluster header of the paired cluster takes the role instead of the left cluster header. This means that this method reduces the routing delay. Concurrently, PCBRP reduces the delay when routing nodes in the paired cluster internally. Therefore PCBRP shows improved total delay of the network and improved performance due to the reduced routing overhead.

Sensor networks and car networks that have different structure from that of conventional TCP/IP network require extreme network environment due to frequent change of connectivity. Because such extreme network environment has characteristics like unreliable link connectivity, long delay time, asymmetrical data transfer rate, and high error rate, etc., it is difficult to perform normally with the conventional TCP/P-based routing. DTNs (delay and disruption tolerant network) was designed to support data transfer in extreme network environment with long delay time and no guarantee for continuous connectivity between terminals. This study suggests an algorithm that limits the maximum number of copying transferred message to L by improving the spray and wait routing protocol, which is one of the conventional DTNs routing protocols, and using the azimuth and density data of the mobile nods. The suggested algorithm was examined by using ONE, a DTNs simulator. As a result, it could reduce the delay time and overhead of unnecessary packets compared to the conventional spray and wait routing protocol.

실시간 시스템, 네트워크 제어 시스템, 사이버물리시스템과 같이 지연에 민감한 시스템의 서비스 품질을 위해 종단 간 지연 데드라인을 보장하는 것은 중요하다. 대부분의 라우팅 알고리즘은 일반적으로 종단 간 평균 지연을 성능 메트릭으로 사용하고 평균 성능 향상을 위해 이를 최소화하는 라우팅 경로를 선택한다. 하지만 최소 평균 지연은 평균값만을 나타내기 때문에 예측할 수 없는 무선 채널의 특성을 반영하기에 불충분한 라우팅 메트릭이다. 본 논문에서는 평균 지연보다는 평균 분포를 고려하여 사이버물리시스템의 주어진 데드라인 내에 패킷이 도착할 확률을 최대화하는 데드라인 인지 라우팅 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 라우팅 알고리즘은 단일 홉 지연이 지수 분포를 따른다는 가정 하에 주어진 네트워크 토폴로지에서 종단 간 지연 분포를 구성한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안한 라우팅 알고리즘이 데드라인을 만족할 확률을 최대화 하는 라우팅 경로를 제공하여 사이버물리시스템의 서비스 품질과 네트워크 제어 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 보여준다.

Mobile Node has to maintain communication as they move form place to place, so it doesn't guarantee Quality of Service(QoS). Fast Handoff is important to provide multimedia and real-time applications services in mobile, and it is closely related to handoff delay. Therefore, handoff delay problem is actively studied to quarantee QoS as a main issue in mobile IP research area. Next generation Mobile IPv6 resolve this problem somewhat, triangle problem for first packet and handoff delay still remain. In this paper, we suggest SNMP Information-based routing that adds keyword management method to Information-based routing in active network in order to resolve such a problem, and then suggest QoS controlled handoff based on SNMP Information-Based routing. After modeling of suggested method and existing handoff method, simulations are carried out with NS-2 for performance evaluation. The results of simulations show the some improvement on handoff delay, and therefore on QoS improvement.

This paper considers mobility control to improve packet delivery in delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) under group mobility. Based on the group structure in group mobility, we propose two mobility control techniques; group formation enforcement and group purposeful movement. Both techniques can be used to increase the contact opportunities between groups by extending the group's reachability. In addition, they can be easily integrated into some existing DTN routing schemes under group mobility to effectively expedite the packet delivery. This paper is divided into 2 parts. First, we study how our proposed mobility control schemes reduce the packet delivery delay in DTNs by integrating them into one simple routing scheme called group-epidemic routing (G-ER). For each scheme, we analytically derive the cumulative density function of the packet delivery delay to show how it can effectively reduce the packet delivery delay. Then, based on our second proposed technique, the group purposeful movement, we design a new DTN routing scheme, called purposeful movement assisted routing (PMAR), to further reduce the packet delay. Extensive simulations in NS2 have been conducted to show the significant improvement of PMAR over G-ER under different practical network conditions.

지연-허용 네트워크 (Delay-Tolerant Network; DTN)는 안정적인 통신 연결성이 보장되지 않는 네트워킹 환경에서 전개할 수 있는 비대칭 네트워킹 기술로써, 저장 공간에 수신한 데이터를 저장하고 통신 경로가 확보될 때 경우에만 데이터를 전송한다. DTN은 위성간의 통신을 지원하는 우주 통신 뿐만 아니라 센서 네트워크와 MANET (Mobile Ad-Hoc Network)에도 적용되고 있다. DTN 네트워킹 환경에서는 오버헤드가 작으면서도 라우팅 신뢰성이 높아서, 라우팅 속도와 성능을 전반적으로 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 제공하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는, 시간 주기를 가지는 이동 노드들이 존재하는 네트워크에서 데이터를 효과적으로 전송하기 위하여, 라우팅 경로를 예측할 수 있는 시간 정보 기반의 DTN라우팅 기법을 제안한다. Omnet++ 시뮬레이션 도구를 이용한 성능 분석 결과, 제안된 시간 정보 기반의 DTN 라우팅 알고리즘이 기존의 DTN 라우팅 알고리즘들에 비해 적은 라우팅 오버헤드를 가지고도 라우팅 속도와 신뢰성을 높일 수 있는 기법임을 검증하였다.

The ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure of centralized administration. Load-Balanced Ad hoc Routing(LBAR) protocol is an on-demand routing protocol intended for delay-sensitive applications where users are most concern with packet transmission delay. Although LBAR mechanism is a novel load balancing routing protocol for ad hoc network, it has own limitation in route path maintenance phase. Therefore, in this paper, we propose Advanced Load-Balanced Ad hoc Routing(A-LBAR) that is delay-sensitive and has an efficient path maintenance scheme. The robust path maintenance scheme is maintained by considering about nodal loads all over network and misbehavior of overloaded or selfish nodes. The proposed scheme provides good performance over DSR and AODV in terms of packet delay and packet loss rate when some misbehaving nodes exist in the network.

DTN(Delay/Disruption Tolerant Network)에서 라우팅 프로토콜은 전송 지연 및 성공적인 전달 확률의 성능을 개선하기 위해 중요하다. 이 논문에서 우리는 이동성 유형 기반의 라우팅(MPR ; Mobility Pattern based Routing)이라는 효과적인 DTN 라우팅 알고리즘을 제안하는데 이는 이동 노드의 이동성 유형에 근거해 복사되는 메시지의 수를 제어하게 된다. 또한, 우리는 인간 이동성 유형을 가장 잘 나타낼 수 있는 확산성이 매우 큰(super-diffusive) 성질을 가지는 실제적인 "Levy Walk" 이동성 유형을 고려하였다. 우리는 제안된 MPR 알고리즘과 Levy Walk 이동성 유형의 검증을 위해 ONE simulator를 이용한 DTN simulator를 구현하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 이동성 유형이 DTN 라우팅 성능의 정확한 분석을 위해 매우 중요하다는 것과 제안한 MPR이 실제 이동성 유형 하에서 성공적인 전달 확률이나 전송 지연 측면에서 라우팅 성능을 향상시킴을 보였다.
