To overcome the limitations in performance and power consumption of traditional electrical interconnection based network-on-chips (NoCs), a hybrid optical network-on-chip (HONoC) architecture using optical interconnects is emerging. However, the HONoC architecture should use circuit-switching scheme owing to the overhead by optical devices, which worsens the latency unfairness problem caused by frequent path collisions. This resultingly exert a bad influence in overall performance of the system. In this paper, we propose a new task mapping algorithm for optimizing latency by reducing path collisions. The proposed algorithm allocates a task to a certain processing element (PE) for the purpose of minimizing path collisions and worst case latencies. Compared to the random mapping technique and the bandwidth-constrained mapping technique, simulation results show the reduction in latency by 43% and 61% in average for each $4{\times}4$ and $8{\times}8$ mesh topology, respectively.

In this paper, a new handover management scheme has been proposed to reduce handover latency and to support fast handover without packet losses, so that it may be applicable to the wireless mobile Internet system such as IPv6-based WiBro system. To minimize the handover latency in processing of movement detection, we propose the handover management scheme which simplifies the handover message exchanging procedure between mobile subscriber station (MSS) and network by integrating layer 2 and layer 3 handovers efficiently based on the layer2 information. To reduce the processing delay from new care-of-address (NCoA) configuration during handover, we propose that NCoA is created, distributed and managed by new access control router (NACR). In addition, in order to minimize the packet transmission delay and eliminate the packet losses, the proposed scheme employs a crossover router (CR) which is upper network located over PACR and NACR and employs the packet buffering for MSS. The simulation study shows that the proposed scheme achieves loss-free packet delivery and low latency in the environment of narrow overlapped cell area or high velocity of the MSS, comparing the performance with the conventional schemes.

In this paper, for continuous media access operations performed by Clustered Continuous Media Storage Server (CCMSS) system, we present the analytical model based on the open queueing network, which considers simultaneously two critical delay factors, the disk I/O and the internal network, in the CCMSS system. And we derive by using the analytical model the stochastic model for the total service delay time in the system. Next, we propose the integrated stochastic admission control model for the CCMSS system, which estimate the maximum number of admittable service requests at the allowable service failure rate by using the derived stochastic model and apply the derived number of requests in the admission control operation. For the performance evaluation of the proposed model, we evaluated the deadline miss rates by means of the previous stochastic model considering only the disk I/O and the propose stochastic model considering the disk I/O and the internal network, and compared the values with the results obtained from the simulation under the real cluster-based distributed media server environment. The evaluation showed that the proposed admission control policy reflects more precisely the delay factors in the CCMSS system.

Mobile IP has been designed only to maintain communications as mobile devices move from a place to a place, so it does not guarantee Quality of Service (QoS). Hierarchical MIPv6 improved QoS somewhat using Mobility Anchor Point(MAP), but QoS guarantee problem still remains. QoS in mobile IP is important to provide multimedia and real-timeapplications services in a mobile environment, and QoS is closely related to handoff delay. Therefore, handoff delay problem is actively studied as a main issue in mobile IP research area to guarantee QoS. In this paper, we suggest SNMP Information-based routing that adds keyword management method to Information-based routing in an active network in order to resolve such a problem, Suggested QoS controlled method and existing handoff method, simulations are carried out with NS-2 for performance evaluation. The results of simulations show an improvement on handoff delay, and consequently the QoS improvement.

This paper introduces two functions added to the current version of ns-2 simulator for better accuracy of IEEE 802.15.4 network simulations. The first one is to automatically place hidden nodes over the ring topology in which the coordinator is centered, when the number of hidden nodes and total number of nodes is given. Collisions of signals can be distinguished into the trace file according to the ways of participation of hidden nodes. The second one is the CCA deferment algorithm described in IEEE 802.15.4-2006 standard which is not implemented in the current version of ns-2. Owing to these additional functions, we can carry out the precise analysis of the performance effects of hidden nodes and CCA deferment algorithm on 802.15.4 networks. Simulation results present at least 66% of performance degradation in throughput and drastic increase of collision probability up to 90% from 65% by just a single hidden node. Besides, 2006 standard for CCA deferment algorithm gives 19% lower collision probability and 38% higher performance.

In this paper, we propose an energy efficient hybrid MAC protocol for multi-hop wireless sensor networks. The proposed MAC protocol used a hybrid mechanism, in which contention-based MAC protocol and contention free MAC protocol are combined. The sensor nodes located far from the sink node usually send few data packet since they try to send measured data by themselves. So contention-based MAC protocol is useful among them. But other nodes located near sink node usually have lots of data packets since they plays as a relay node. Contention-based MAC protocol among them is not suitable. Using contention-based MAC protocol in heavy data traffic environment, packet collisions and transmission delay may increase. In this paper, slot assignment between sender nodes by sink node is used. The proposed mechanism is efficient in energy and latency. Results showed that our MAC protocol outperformed other protocol in terms of data packet delivery delay and energy consumption.

In traditional message ferrying schemes, only ferries carry messages between partitioned networks. In this paper, we propose a new approach to make both ferries and mobile nodes carry messages so that we reduce message delivery delay in disruption tolerant networks. We evaluate our scheme against conventional message ferrying in terms of message delivery delay, throughput, ferry buffer usage and mobile nodes buffer usage.

최근 인터넷에서는 메일, 파일 전송 등의 비실시간 응용 뿐만 아니라 음성, 비디오 등의 실시간 응용 서비스를 이용하려는 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이를 위해 광대역 서비스 뿐만 아니라 사용자별 차별화된 QoS의 보장이 요구된다. 네트워크를 통해 전달되는 패킷의 지연 시간과 데이터 처리율, 그리고 손실은 서비스에 따른 요구사항 등이 QoS의 주요 내용인데, 현재의 인터넷은 모든 패킷을 동일하게 전달하는 최선의 노력(Best-Effort)만을 제공하고 있기 때문에 서비스에 따른 패킷의 전달 지연과 지연 변이에 대한 요구사항을 보장해 주지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 분산된 네트워크 환경에서 효율적인 QoS 관리를 위해 이동 에이전트(Mobile Agents)를 이용한 모니터링 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다.

Everytime a node moves out, the connection makes handover which occurs much latency. In NetLMM(Network based Localized Mobility Management), network supports the mobility management for nodes and it improves handover latency using MIH(Media Independent Handover) service. In this paper, we shall analyse and improve the handover latency with addition of some messages to NetLMM protocol.

Mobile IPv4는 FA(Foreign Agent)의 지원을 받아 이동노드가 네트워크를 이동할 때 3계층(OSI 참조모델의 네트워크계층) 핸드오프의 절차를 규정한 프로토콜이다. 그렇지만 핸드오프에 소요되는 시간이 지연에 민감한 응용프로그램의 임계값을 넘어서는 경우도 발생할 수 있다. 그러므로 핸드오프에 소요되는 지연시간을 최소화하는 방안이 고려되어야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 무선랜 상황의 Mobile IPv4를 위한 2계층에서 처리되는 빠른 핸드오프를 수행하는 방안을 제시한다. 이는 Mobile IPv4의 등록메시지가 802.11(무선랜) 프레임의 IE(Information Elements)내에 포함되어 처리되는 방식이다. 이 방식에 따르면 Mobile IPv4의 핸드오프가 802.11의 핸드오프와 동시에 수행되어 등록지연 시간을 최소화시킬 수 있다.
