Recently, there are tendency that wireless sensor network is one of the important techniques for the future IT industry and thereby application areas in it are getting growing. Researches based on the hierarchical network topology are evaluated in good at energy efficiency in related protocols for wireless sensor network. LEACH is the best well known routing protocol for the hierarchical topology. However, there are problems in the range of message broadcasting, which should be expand into the overall network coverage, in LEACH related protocols. Thereby, this paper proposes a new clustering scheme to solve the co-shared problems in them. The basic idea of our scheme is using the inherent memory restrictions in sensor nodes. The results show that the proposed scheme could support the load balancing by distributing the clusters with a reasonable number of member nodes and thereby the network life time would be extended in about 1.8 times longer than LEACH.

One of the major challenges of minimum energy consumption for wireless sensor networks(WSN) environment. LEACH protocol is hierarchical routing protocol that obtains energy efficiency by using clustering. However, LEACH protocol in each round, because the new cluster configuration, cluster configuration, whenever the energy consumed shorten the life of the network. Therefore in this paper, the cluster is formed in WSN environment in early stage and the problems with energy waste have been solved by selecting C-node. In the initial round of proposed model uses 26 percent more than traditional LEACH energy consumption. However, as the round is ongoing, it has been proved by the network simulation tool that the waste of energy could be diminished up to 35%.

With rapid advance in wireless communication technologies, many researches are conducted for providing Internet data services while users are roaming around. Efficient management of mobility of mobile nodes is essential as the use of real-time application program grows. In this paper, we propose a multicast-based localized mobility support scheme in IPv6 networks. The proposed scheme utilizes a class of multicast routing protocol for the localized mobility support. Features of the proposed scheme are use of join to a multicast group and leave from that group to localize binding update information and provision of an extended multicast group management mechanism to reduce leave latency. The results of simulation show that the proposed scheme out-performs Mobile IPv6 and Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 in UDP and TCP traffic performance and in wasted bandwidth.

We show improved throughput scaling laws for an ultra-wide band (UWB) ad hoc network, in which n wireless nodes are randomly located. First, we consider the case where a modified hierarchical cooperation (HC) strategy is used. Then, in a dense network of unit area, our result indicates that the derived throughput scaling depends on the path-loss exponent ${\alpha}$ for certain operating regimes due to the power-limited characteristics. It also turns out that the HC protocol is dominant for 2 < ${\alpha}$ < 3 while using the nearest multihop (MH) routing leads to a higher throughput for ${\alpha}{\geq}3$. Second, the impact and benefits of infrastructure support are analyzed, where m base stations (BSs) are regularly placed in UWB networks. In this case, the derived throughput scaling depends on ${\alpha}$ due to the power-limited characteristics for all operating regimes. Furthermore, it is shown that the total throughput scales linearly with parameter m as m is larger than a certain level. Hence, the use of either HC or infrastructure is helpful in improving the throughput of UWB networks in some conditions.

In this paper, anew parallel processing system based on a cluster architecture which provides scalability of a parallel processing system while maintains shared memory multiprocessor characteristics is proposed. In recent days low cost, high performnce microprocessors have led to construction of large scale parallel processing systems. Such parallel processing systems provides large scalability but are mainly used for scientific applications which have large data parallelism. A shared memory multiprocessor system like TICOM is currently used as aserver for the commercial application, however, the shared memory multiprocessor system is known to have very limited scalability. The proposed architecture can support scalability and performance of the parallel processing system while it provides adaptability for the commerical application, hence it can overcome the limitation of the shared memory multiprocessor. The architecture and characteristics of the proposed system shall be described. A proprietary hierarchical crsossbar network is designed for this system, of which the protocol, routing and switching technique and the signal transfer technique are optimized for the proposed architecture. The design trade-offs for the network are described in this paper and with simulation usihng the SES/workbench, it is explored that the network fits to the proposed architecture.

Wireless sensor network may be installed where it is hard to access or where one has to constantly gather data without any human's monitoring. Sensors which compose a sensor network are usually small with poor battery capacities and thus energy-efficient usage is very important because of difficulties in replacing or recharging the batteries to make the lifetime of the whole sensor network longer. LEACH protocol, a well-known hierarchical routing protocol, may resolve this problem by distributing the role of cluster header evenly to the sensor nodes in the whole area of network at each round. In this thesis, we introduce a variant of LEACH protocol which considers the distance between base station and sensors in the way that if a node is far from the base station then the probability that this node becomes a cluster header is low. Experiments to evaluate the energy efficiency and the ability to collect the information show that the proposed method in this paper has maintained much wider sensing area while keeping the energy efficiency same as LEACH.

We propose a novel framework for distributed resource management. The framework has the following novel features. First, the resource management system is distributed using resource content information that is characterized by system properties. We argue that a distributed system based on resource content is sufficient to satisfy specific scheduling requests for Quality of Service(QoS) considering workload balance across a grid. Second, the distributed system constructs a hierarchical peer-to-peer network. This peered network provides an efficient message routing mechanism. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed framework is proficient to satisfy QoS in distributed environment.

MANET is developed technique fairly among many field of wireless network. Nodes which consist of MANET transmit data using multi-hop wireless connection. Caching scheme is technique which can improve data access capacity and availability of nodes. Previous studies were achieved about dynamic routing protocol to improve multi-hop connection of moving nodes. But management and maintenance of effective cache information because of movement of nodes is not easy. In this study, we proposed cluster-based caching scheme to manage connection by decreasing overhead and moving of nodes as moving node discovers cache of wish information. And HLP was used to maintain effective cache table in each cluster head. Efficiency of proposed technique in this study was confirmed by experiment.

The purpose of this research is to develop and evaluate a traffic engineering architecture that uses local state information. This architecture is applied to an Internet protocol radio access network (RAN) that uses multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) and differentiated services to support mobile hosts. We assume mobility support is provided by a protocol such as the hierarchical mobile Internet protocol. The traffic engineering architecture is router based-meaning that routers on the edges of the network make the decisions onto which paths to place admitted traffic. We propose an algorithm that supports the architecture and uses local network state in order to function. The goal of the architecture is to provide an inexpensive and fast method to reduce network congestion while increasing the quality of service (QoS) level when compared to traditional routing and traffic engineering techniques. We use a number of different mobility scenarios and a mix of different types of traffic to evaluate our architecture and algorithm. We use the network simulator ns-2 as the core of our simulation environment. Around this core we built a system of pre-simulation, during simulation, and post-processing software that enabled us to simulate our traffic engineering architecture with only very minimal changes to the core ns-2 software. Our simulation environment supports a number of different mobility scenarios and a mix of different types of traffic to evaluate our architecture and algorithm.
