Recent advancements in network infrastructures provide increased opportunities to support data delivery over multiple paths. Compared with multi-homing scenario, overlay network is regarded as an effective way to construct multiple paths between end devices without any change on the underlying network. Exploiting multipath characteristics has been explored for TCP with multi-homing device, but the corresponding exploration with overlay network has not been studied in detail yet. Motivated by improving quality of experience (QoE) for reliable data delivery, we propose a multipath message transport protocol based on application level relay (MPMTP-AR). MPMTP-AR proposes mechanisms and algorithms to support basic operations of multipath transmission. Dynamic feedback provides a foundation to distribute reasonable load to each path. Common source decrease (CSD) takes the load weight of the path with congestion into consideration to adjust congestion window. MPMTP-AR uses two-level sending buffer to ensure independence between paths and utilizes two-level receiving buffer to improve queuing performance. Finally, the MPMTP-AR is implemented on the Linux platform and evaluated by comprehensive experiments.

본 논문은 애드 혹 네트워크에서 다중 경로 설정을 위한 탐색 기법을 제안한다. 데이터 경로 설정은 요구기반 방식으로 동작하며, 소스와 목적지 노드 간의 다중 경로는 초기 경로 설정 과정에서 함께 구해진다. 이러한 다중 경로는 데이터 경로의 백업이나 부하 분산에 사용될 수 있다. 제안 방식에서는 소스와 목적지 노드 간 다중 경로를 찾기 위해, 사전 질의 방법을 사용한다. 이 방안은 중간 노드에서 응답 메시지를 처리할 때, 주변 노드와의 정보 교환을 통해 최적의 다음노드를 선택하는 방안이다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해, 제안된 다중 경로 체계가 경로간의 만나는 횟수를 감소시켜 다중경로의 더 좋은 분리도를 주고, 노드들이 이동하는 환경에서 더 높은 경로 생존 확률을 달성함을 알 수 있었다.

As network adaptive streaming technology becomes increasingly common, transport protocol also becomes important in guaranteeing the quality of multimedia streaming. At the same time, because of the appearance of high-quality video such as Ultra High Definition (UHD), preventing buffering as well as preserving high quality while deploying a streaming service becomes important. The Internet Engineering Task Force recently published Multipath TCP (MPTCP). MPTCP improves the maximum transmission rate by simultaneously transmitting data over different paths with multiple TCP subflows. However, MPTCP cannot preserve high quality, because the MPTCP subflows slowly increase the transmission rate, and upon detecting a packet loss, drastically halve the transmission rate. In this paper, we propose a new multipath congestion control scheme for high-quality multimedia streaming. The proposed scheme preserves high quality of video by adaptively adjusting the increasing parameter of subflows according to the network status. The proposed scheme also increases network efficiency by providing load balancing and stability, and by supporting fairness with single-flow congestion control schemes.

Multipath Transport Control Protocol (MPTCP) is a transport layer protocol that enables multiple TCP connections across various paths. Due to path heterogeneity, it incurs more energy in a multipath wireless network. Recent work presents a set of approaches described in the literature to support systems for energy consumption in terms of their performance, objectives and address issues based on their design goals. The existing solutions mainly focused on the primary system model but did not discourse the overall system performance. Therefore, this paper capitalized a novel stochastically multipath scheduling scheme for data and path capacity variations. The scheduling problem formulated over MPTCP as a stochastic optimization, whose objective is to maximize the average throughput, avoid network congestion, and makes the system more stable with greater energy efficiency. To design an online algorithm that solves the formulated problem over the time slots by considering its mindrift-plus penalty form. The proposed solution was examined under extensive simulations to evaluate the anticipated stochastic optimized MPTCP (so-MPTCP) outcome and compared it with the base MPTCP and the energy-efficient MPTCP (eMPTCP) protocols. Simulation results justify the proposed algorithm's credibility by achieving remarkable improvements, higher throughput, reduced energy costs, and lower-end to end delay.

본 논문에서 소개하는 새로운 라우팅 프로토콜은 무선 멀티미디어 센서 네트워크에서 다중경로와 다중 우선순위 기반의 라우팅 프로토콜 (MMRP)이다. 제안된 MMRP는 소스부터 싱크까지 다중 라우팅 경로를 선택하고, 선택된 라우팅 경로 내의 잔여 에너지와 전송지연에 따라서 우선순위 레벨이 할당된다. 즉, MPEG 비디오의 경우 높은 우선순위를 갖는 I 프레임은 높은 우선순위의 라우팅 경로를 통해 전송이 되며, P와 B 프레임의 경우 낮은 우선순위를 갖는 라우팅 경로를 통해 전송되도록 한다. 제안된 MMRP 프로토콜은 무선 멀티미디어 센서 네트워크에서 낮은 전력소모 특성을 만족하면서 작은 전송 지연을 고려하는 시간 민감 응용 분야에 적용이 가능하다. MMRP 프로토콜에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과는 다중경로 라우팅을 지원하거나 지원하지 않는 프로토콜과 비교 시, 에너지 절약적인 부분에서는 23.48%에서 23.11% 그리고 지연 부분에서는 81.6%에서 32.01%로 향상을 보였다.

Load distribution is vital to the performance of multipath transport. The task becomes more challenging in real-time multimedia applications (RTMA), which impose stringent delay requirements. Two key issues to be addressed are: 1) How to minimize end-to-end delay and 2) how to alleviate packet reordering that incurs additional recovery time at the receiver. In this paper, we propose sub-packet based multipath load distribution (SPMLD), a new model that splits traffic at the granularity of sub-packet. Our SPMLD model aims to minimize total packet delay by effectively aggregating multiple parallel paths as a single virtual path. First, we formulate the packet splitting over multiple paths as a constrained optimization problem and derive its solution based on progressive approximation method. Second, in the solution, we analyze queuing delay by introducing D/M/1 model and obtain the expression of dynamic packet splitting ratio for each path. Third, in order to describe SPMLD's scheduling policy, we propose two distributed algorithms respectively implemented in the source and destination nodes. We evaluate the performance of SPMLD through extensive simulations in QualNet using real-time H.264 video streaming. Experimental results demonstrate that: SPMLD outperforms previous flow and packet based load distribution models in terms of video peak signal-to-noise ratio, total packet delay, end-to-end delay, and risk of packet reordering. Besides, SPMLD's extra overhead is tiny compared to the input video streaming.

미래의 교통체계를 대비하기 위하여 차량 전자장비의 기술도 급속히 발전하고 있다. 특히, 자율주행의 연구는 활발히 이루어지고 있으며, 정확하고 믿을 수 있는 위치결정이 가장 중요한 요구사항이다. 그러나 도심지역에서 위치결정의 가장 큰 문제점은 위선 신호 단절과 다중경로 오차이다. 본 논문에서는 GPS(Global Positioning System) 단독으로 이상신호를 판단하고 이를 제거 또는 측정치를 추정하여 위치결정하는 방법을 제안하였다. GPS 신호만으로 다중경로 혹은 위성신호차단을 판단하기 위하여 앙각과 신호잡음비 데이터간의 연관관계를 정의하였으며, 이를 기준으로 측정치를 추정할 것인지 제거할 것인지를 결정하며, 정상상태 신호의 시차분 측정치를 이용하여 현재 측정치를 추정할 수 있다. 제안한 알고리즘의 효용성을 검증하기 위하여 차량을 이용하여 도심에서 실험을 수행하였다. 제안한 이상신호 판단 기준을 통하여 전체 실험 수행구간중 이상신호는 11% 발생하였으며, 크게는 100m가량의 오차를 보였다. 이러한 이상신호를 제거하거나 측정치를 추정하여 위치결정 결과 수평측위오차가 RMS 9.48m 향상되었다.

The current multihome-aware protocols (like stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) or parallel TCP for concurrent multipath data transfer (CMT) are not designed for high-capacity and large-latency networks; they often have performance problems transferring large data files over shared long-distance wide area networks. It has been shown that SCTP-CMT is more sensitive to receive buffer (rbuf) constraints, and this rbuf-blocking problem causes considerable throughput loss when multiple paths are used simultaneously. In this research paper, we demonstrate the weakness of SCTP-CMT rbuf constraints, and we then identify that rbuf-blocking problem in SCTP multihoming is mostly due to its loss-based nature for detecting network congestion. We present a simulation-based performance comparison of FAST TCP versus SCTP in high-speed networks for solving a number of throughput issues. This work proposes an end-to-end transport layer protocol (i.e., FAST TCP multihoming as a reliable, delaybased, multihome-aware, and selective ACK-based transport protocol), which can transfer data between a multihomed source and destination hosts through multiple paths simultaneously. Through extensive ns-2 simulations, we show that FAST TCP multihoming achieves the desired goals under a variety of network conditions. The experimental results and survey presented in this research also provide an insight on design decisions for the future high-speed multihomed transport layer protocols.

The advantages of employing SCTP-based Concurrent Multipath Transfer (CMT) have been demonstrated to be very useful for data delivery over multi-homed wireless networks. However, there is still significant ongoing work addressing some remaining limitations and challenges. The most important concern when applying CMT to data delivery is related to handling packet reordering and buffer blocking. Another concern on this topic is that current sender-based CMT solutions seldom consider balancing the overhead and sharing the load between the sender and receiver. This paper proposes a novel Receiver-driven Cooperation-based Concurrent Multipath Transfer solution (CMT-Rev) with the following aims: (i) to balance overhead and share load between the sender and receiver, by moving some functions including congestion and flow control from the sender onto receiver; (ii) to mitigate the data reordering and buffer blocking problems, by using an adaptive receiver-cooperative path aggregation model, (iii) to adaptively transmit packets over multiple paths according to their receiver-inspired sending rate values, by employing a new receiver-aware data distribution scheduler. Simulation results show that CMT-Rev outperforms the existing CMT solutions in terms of data delivery performance.

In outdoor visible light communication channels and LED road illumination communications for the intelligent transport systems (ITS), inter symbol interference (ISI) due to multipath propagation prevents high data rate transmission. Indoor wireless optical communication systems utilizing white LED lights and on the road illumination have been studying about it. Generally, plural lights are installed in room and considered to the traffic information system using existing LED traffic lights. Therefore, their optical path difference must be considered. In this paper, the influence of an optical path difference has been investigated and two approaches against this problem are introduced. One uses on-off keying, return-to-zero (OOK-RZ) coding and the other uses optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM).
