Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) refer to autonomous networks in which wireless data communications are established between multiple nodes in a given coverage area without a base station or centralized administration. Because of node mobility and limited battery life, the network topology may changes frequently. Selecting the most reliable path during route discovery process is important to improve performance in ad hoc networks. In this paper, an enhanced routing protocol based on AODV(Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing) by monitoring variation of receiving signal strength is proposed. New metric function that consists of node mobility and hops of path is used for routing decision. For preventing route failure by node movement during data transmission, a new route maintenance named as LRC (Local Route Change) is presented. If the node movement is detected, the routing agent switches path to its neighbor node in LRC. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed routing scheme is superior to previous AODY protocol.

This paper addresses issues to efficiently collect and aggregate data of sources within a local and adjacent region in geographic routing for wireless sensor networks. We first introduce the concept of a local sink which collects and aggregates data form source nodes in the region and delivers the aggregated data to a global sink. We also design a model to determine an optimal location of the local sink and propose a mechanism to collect data through the local sink. Simulation results show that the proposed mechanism with the local sink is more efficient in terms of the energy and the data delivery ratio than the existing mechanism without the local sink in a geographic routing.

In this paper, we propose energy-aware routing schemes which are simple enough to be applicable to the wireless sensor networks. The one hop upstream no de in direction of the base-station is determined in four different ways based on the energy information of neighboring nodes, which are obtainable via the process of self-organization of the network. The fair distribution of the energy consumption over all the possible routes to the base-station is one of the design objectives. Also, an alternate route search mechanism is proposed to cope with the situation in which no routing information is available due to lack of remaining energy of the neighboring nodes. The mechanism turns out to be a supplementary scheme to improve the energy efficiency. Lots of simulations are performed to examine the performance metrics such as the energy efficiency, throughput, network lifetime, and the transmission latency of the proposed schemes. Simulation results show the feasibility of the simple routing schemes for the sensor networks.

Sensors in sensor networks are operated by their embedded batteries and they can not work any more if the batteries run out. The data collected by sensors should be transferred to a sink node through the efficient routes. Many energy efficient routing algorithms were proposed. However, the previous algorithms consume more energy since they did not consider the transmission range and direction. In this paper we propose an algorithm TDRP(Transmission range and Direction Routing Protocol) that considers the transmission range and direction for the efficient data transmission. Since TDRP does not produce clusters or grids but four quadrants and send data to the nodes in one quadrant in the direction of the sink node, it has less network overhead. Furthermore since the proposed algorithm sends data to the smaller number of nodes compared to the previous algorithms, the energy efficiency is better than other algorithms in communication node fields that are located in packet transmit directions.

Sensor networks consist of small nodes with sensing, computation, and wireless communications capabilities. A number of routing protocols to transmit the data between the base station and sensor nodes have been proposed. Intanagonwiwat et al. proposed the directed diffusion in which the base station sends interest messages and waits for data from the nodes in the specific regions. Since the directed diffusion propagates every interest message to whole nodes in the network, it causes energy dissipation of nodes. In this paper, we propose a novel data propagation method, which limits the data transmission area according to a threshold value for reducing the energy consumption in the network. A fuzzy logic is exploited to determine the threshold value by considering the energy and density of all the deployed nodes. The simulation models are designed and implemented based on DEVS formalism which is theoretically well grounded means of expressing discrete event simulation models.

센서 네트워크를 구성하는 센서 노드는 제한된 용량의 배터리를 가지고 동작한다. 이러한 센서 노드들은 배터리의 양에 따라 수명이 결정되게 되므로 배터리의 효율을 늘이는 것이 센서 네트워크의 중요한 고려사항 중의 하나이다. 따라서 현재 배터리의 효율을 늘이기 위해 에너지 효율적인 라우팅 알고리즘 들이 많이 발표되고 있다. 하지만 센서 네트워크에서는 센싱 된 데이터가 베이스 스테이션으로 집중되기 때문에 베이스 스테이션 주변의 노드들은 주변 노드들이 전달되는 데이터를 베이스 스테이션으로 보내기 위해 다른 센서 노드들 보다 많은 에너지를 소비 하게 된다. 따라서 센서 네트워크의 토폴로지는 다른 무선 네트워크와 다르게 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크의 라이프 타임을 늘이기 위한 토플로지의 형태를 제안하여, 제안된 토폴로지에 맞는 라우팅 방법들에 대하여 얘기 한다.

무선 센서 네트워크는 제한된 배터리를 갖는 노드로 토폴로지를 구성한다. 이러한 이유 때문에 전체 네트워크의 수명을 극대화하고 라우팅에 에너지 효율성을 고려하여 토폴로지를 구성하는 것이 중요하다. 네트워크 토폴로지는 전송범위에 의해 결정되며 노드의 고정된 전송범위로 인한 에너지 비효율성 문제를 해결하는 방법으로 최적의 전송범위 혹은 MST(Minimum Spanning Tree)기반으로 토폴로지를 구성하는 대안이 있지만 최적의 솔루션은 아니다. 본 논문에서는 단계에 따라 전송범위를 차별화시켜 라우팅을 수행하는 DR(Differential Routing)을 제안하였다. DR은 전송범위에 기반하여 최적의 토폴로지를 구성한다. 그리고 무선 센서 네트워크의 특정한 통신 패턴에 맞게 트리 구성 단계와 데이터 수집 단계의 전송범위를 차별화시켜 전송파워를 조절함으로써 전체 네트워크의 수명 극대화, 파티션 방지, 그리고 에너지 효율성을 향상시킨 알고리즘이다. 실험을 통해 제안한 DR이 최적의 토폴로지를 구성하여 에너지 효율성 측면에서 좋은 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

In mobile ad hoc networks where the communication nodes are moving around, one may perform dynamic routing that can increase the total communication throughput of the network, by determining the ranks of pairs of nodes according to their communication throughput. The balanced Howell rotation is a tournament design scheme for bridge games. This paper explains that the balanced Howell rotation can be applied to enhance the overall communication throughput of mobile ad hoc networks, and proposes and proves the condition under which the balanced Howell rotations may exist.

무인 자가 운반 차량은 컨테이너 터미널 내 선박과 장치장 사이를 오가며 컨테이너를 운반하는 무인 장비로 컨테이너를 집고 내리는 하역 능력을 갖고 있다. 터미널에서 컨테이너의 처리량을 극대화하기 위해서는 컨테이너 운송 시간을 최소화하여야 하는데, 이를 위해서는 차량의 효율적인 주행 경로 설정이 필요하다. 최적의 주행경로를 설정하기 위한 방법으로 A*, ant colony optimization과 같은 탐색알고리즘을 이용해서 주행경로를 찾는 방안이 연구된바 있다. 하지만 교통 상황에 따라 최적의 주행 경로는 바뀌게 되는데 기존의 연구에서는 결정된 주행 경로에 대한 수정이 없기 때문에 이러한 변화를 반영하지 못하는 문제가 있었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 주행 중인 차량이 다른 차량의 간섭에 의하여 대기하는 경우 대기 시간을 이용하여 새로운 주행 경로를 탐색 하여 현재 교통 상황에 맞는 최적의 경로를 찾는 방안을 제안하였으며 실험을 통해 기존 방안보다 더 효율적임을 확인하였다.
