In this study, we consider the minimum ADM problem which is the fundamental problem for the cost-effective design of SONET ADM embedded in WDM ring networks. To minimize the number of SONET ADMs, efficient algorithms for the routing and wavelength assignment are needed. We propose a mathematical model based on the graph theory for the problem and propose a branch-and-price approach to solve the suggested model effectively within reasonable time. By exploiting the mathematical structure of ring networks, we developed polynomial time algorithms for column generation subroutine at branch-and-bound tree. In a computer simulation study, the suggested approach can find the optimal solution for sufficient size networks and shows better performance than the greedy heuristic method.

A major challenge in cloud infrastructure is the efficient allocation of virtual network elements on top of substrate network elements. Path algebra is a mathematical framework which allows the validation and convergence analysis of the mono-constraint or multi-constraint routing problems independently of the network topology or size. The present study proposes a new heuristic approach based on mathematical framework "paths algebra" to map virtual nodes and links to substrate nodes and paths in cloud. In this approach, we define a measure criterion to rank the substrate nodes, and map the virtual nodes to substrate nodes according to their ranks by using a greedy algorithm. In addition, considering multi-constraint routing in virtual link mapping stage, the used paths algebra framework allows a more flexible and extendable embedding. Obtained results of simulations show appropriate improvement in acceptance ratio of virtual networks and cost incurred by the infrastructure networks.

PEGASIS, a chain-based protocol, forms chains from sensor nodes so that each node transmits and receives from a neighbor. In this way, only one node (known as a HEAD) is selected from that chain to transmit to the sink. Although PEGASIS is able to balance the workload among all of the nodes by selecting the HEAD node in turn, a considerable amount of energy may be wasted when nodes which are far away from sink node act as the HEAD. In this study, DERP (Distance-based Energy-efficient Routing Protocol) is proposed to address this problem. DERP is a chain-based protocol that improves the greedy-algorithm in PEGASIS by taking into account the distance from the HEAD to the sink node. The main idea of DERP is to adopt a pre-HEAD (P-HD) to distribute the energy load evenly among sensor nodes. In addition, to scale DERP to a large network, it can be extended to a multi-hop clustering protocol by selecting a "relay node" according to the distance between the P-HD and SINK. Analysis and simulation studies of DERP show that it consumes up to 80% less energy, and has less of a transmission delay compared to PEGASIS.

In the present paper routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in optical WDM networks is considered. Previous techniques based on the combination of integer linear programming and graph coloring are complex and require extensive use of heuristics. Such methods are mostly slow and sometimes impossible to get results due to infeasibility. An alternative approach applied to RWA employs on the greedy algorithm for obtaining the maximum edge disjoint paths. Even though this approach is fast, it produces a solution for any connection request, which is very far from the optimal utilization of wavelengths. We propose a novel algorithm, which is based on the maximum flow technique to obtain the maximum quantity of edge, disjoint paths. Here we compare the offered method with previous maximum edge disjoint paths algorithms ap plied to the RWA.

Routing and wavelength assignment(RWA) problem is an important issue in optical transport networks based on wavelength division multiplexing(WDM) technique. It is typically solved using a combination of linear programming and graph coloring, or path selection based graph algorithms. Such methods are either complex or make extensive use of heuristics. In this paper we propose a novel and efficient approach which basically obtains the maximum edge disjoint paths (EDPs) for each source-destination demand pair. And those EDPs obtained are stored in Lookup Table and used for the update of weight matrix. Routes are determined in order by the weight matrix for the demand set. The comprehensive computer simulation shows that the Proposed algorithm uses similar or fewer wavelengths with significantly less execution time than bounded greedy approach (BGA) for EDP which is currently known to be effective in practice.

전장에서 임무 수행중인 병력이나 탱크 등을 지원하거나 보호 동물의 활동을 모니터링 하는 센서 네트워크에서는 전송 정보뿐만 아니라 그러한 대상들의 위치를 악의적 추적자로부터 보호할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 활동 소오스 노드처럼 메시지 전송은 진행하고 있지 않지만 위치가 보호되어야 할 대상과 근접한 휴면(dormant) 소오스 노드들을 고려한 소오스 위치 보호 라우팅 기법 GSLP(GPSR-based Source-Location Privacy)를 제안한다. GSLP는 알고리즘의 간결성과 신장성(scalability)이 뛰어난 GPSR(greedy perimeter stateless routing)을 확장하여 메시지 전달 노드를 선정할 때 일정 확률로 임의의 이웃 노드를 선택하는 한편, perimeter 라우팅을 적용하여 소오스 노드들을 우회하도록 하여 위치를 보호하도록 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 기존의 대표적인 소오스 위치 보호 라우팅 프로토콜인 PR-SP(Phantom Routing-Single Path)에 비해 GSLP는 휴면 소오스 노드들의 수에 거의 관계없이 높은 안전 기간(전송 메시지 수)을 일정하게 제공하면서도 전달 지연(경로의 평균 홉(hop) 수)은 도착지와의 최단 홉 수의 약 두 배 이내에 머물러 대규모 센서 네트워크에서의 소오스의 위치를 보호하기 위한 방안으로 적합한 것으로 평가되었다.

In a vehicular ad hoc network, the communication links are unsteady due to the rapidly changing topology, high mobility and traffic density in the urban environment. Most of the existing geographical routing protocols rely on the continuous transmission of beacon messages to update the neighbors' presence, leading to network congestion. Source-based approaches have been proven to be inefficient in the inherently unstable network. To this end, we propose an opportunistic beaconless packet forwarding approach based on a modified handshake mechanism for the urban vehicular environment. The protocol acts differently between intersections and at the intersection to find the next forwarder node toward the destination. The modified handshake mechanism contains link quality, forward progress and directional greedy metrics to determine the best relay node in the network. After designing the protocol, we compared its performance with existing routing protocols. The simulation results show the superior performance of the proposed protocol in terms of packet delay and data delivery ratio in realistic wireless channel conditions.

The message propagation between vehicles must be efficiently performed to quickly transmit information between vehicles in vehicle ad hoc networks (VANETs). Broadcasting can be the most effective solution for propagating these messages. However, broadcasting can cause broadcast storm problems, which can reduce the performance of the overall network. Therefore, rapid information delivery in VANET requires a method that can propagate messages quickly without causing the broadcast storm problems. This paper proposes a lightweight and opportunistic broadcast (LOB) protocol that leverages the features of opportunistic routing to propagate messages quickly while minimizing the load on the network in VANETs where the network topology changes frequently. LOB does not require any routing information like greedy forwarding scheme, and neighboring nodes at the farthest distance within the range of transmission nodes are likely to be selected as forwarding nodes, and multiple forwarding candidate nodes like opportunistic routing scheme can increase packet transmission rates. Simulation results using ns-2 showed that LOB outperformed existing broadcast protocols in terms of packet rate and packet delay.

In this paper we investigate the benefits of a data aggregation to prolong the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. To reduce the overload of messages from source node to sink node, data aggregation technique is generally used at intermediate node in path. The DD-G(Directed Diffusion-Greedy) can diminish the consumption of node energy by establishing energy effective single path from source to destination. In this case, the nodes near sink node have some problems, i) overly concentration of energy consumption, ii) increase of message delay time. To solve these problems, we propose a new data aggregation method which consider distribution of network overload, especially at the nodes close to sink node. The result shows that it can save energy and network delay time.

In search and rescue mission, micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) are typically used to capture image and video from an aerial perspective and transfer the data to the ground station. Because of the power limitation, a cluster of MAVs are required for a large search area, hence an ad-hoc wireless network must be maintained to transfer data more conveniently and fast. However, the unstable link and the intermittent connectivity between the MAVs caused by MAVs' movement may challenge the packet forwarding. This paper proposes a delay tolerant packet forwarding algorithm based on location estimation for MAV networks, called DTN_est algorithm. In the algorithm, ferrying MAVs are used to transmit data between MAVs and the ground station, and the locations of both searching MAVs and ferrying MAVs are estimated to compute the distances between the MAVs and destination. The MAV that is closest to the destination is selected greedy to forward packet. If a MAV cannot find the next hop MAV using the greedy strategy, the packets will be stored and re-forwarded once again in the next time slot. The experiment results show that the proposed DTN_est algorithm outperforms the typical DTN_geo algorithm in terms of packet delivery ratio and average routing hops.
