In this paper, we propose a network coding scheme that is one of the most promising techniques for overcoming transmission errors in underwater acoustic communications. It is assumed that the proposed scheme operates in a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network where multiple sensor nodes share the underwater acoustic channel in both the frequency and the time domains by means of orthogonal codes. The network topology deploys multi-hop transmission with relaying between multiple source nodes and one destination node via multiple relay nodes. The proposed scheme is evaluated in terms of the successful packet delivery ratio of end-to-end transactions under varying packet loss rates. A computer simulation shows that the successful delivery ratio is maintained at over 95% even when the packet loss rate reaches 50%.

The reliability of wireless body area networks is an important research issue since it may jeopardize the vital human life, unless managed properly. In this article, a new modeling and analysis of node misbehaviors in wireless body area networks is presented, in the presence of multi-type failures. First, the nodes are classified into types in accordance with routing capability. Then, the node behavior in the presence of failures such as energy exhaustion and/or malicious attacks has been modeled using a novel Semi-Markov process. The proposed model is very useful in analyzing reliability of WBANs in the presence of multi-type failures.

Recently, In the wireless sensor network, a study which guarantees integrity of not only data gathered from sensor node but also energy consumption of it is now going on. However, the existing study cannot guarantee data integrity and overhead of cluster head which merges data from sensor node. This paper proposes multi-path hash chain technique which guarantees integrity of merged data and reduces overhead of cluster head when cluster head merges with data transmitted from sensor node. The proposed technique forms multi-hash chain dividing main-path and assistance-path to guarantee data integrity of cluster head, when merges data. The assistance-path, which is used when main-path is not, supports integrity of sensor node while minimizing overhead of cluster head when sensor node is authenticate.

The mobility of nodes are different in wireless ad hoc networks. Routes have to be refreshed frequently due to the mobility of the nodes acting as routers. Path consists of a few highly mobile nodes should be avoided to forward packets, because even only one highly mobile node may result in the break of path. We develop a mobility aware method to evaluate path stability for multipath routing in wireless Ad Hoc networks. Specifically, we extend it to a well-studied multipath routing protocol known as ad hoc on-demand multipath distance vector (AOMDV). The resulting protocol is referred to as path stability evaluation (PSE). Performance comparison of AOMDV with PSE are studied through ns-2. Simulation shows that PSE has optimistic results in performance metrics such as packet delivery, end-to-end delay, routing overhead and throughput.

In this paper, we propose the DAMMC(Distributed Authentication Model using Multi-level Cluster) for wireless sensor networks. The proposed model is that one cluster header in m-layer has a role of CA(Certificate Authority) but it just authenticates sensor nodes in lower layer for providing an efficient authentication without authenticating overhead among clusters. In here, the m-layer for authentication can be properly predefined by user in consideration of various network environments. And also, the DAMMC uses certificates based on the threshold cryptography scheme for more reliable configuration of WSN. Experimental results show that the cost of generation and reconfiguration certification are decreased but the security performance are increased compared to the existing method.

The diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) functions of three special half-duplex (HD) dynamic decode-and-forward (DDF) protocols with multiple antennas only at the source node, only at the destination node, and only at the relay node are analytically derived. The DMT functions of these three relay protocols are compared with one another and with those of the nonorthogonal amplify and forward (NAF) protocols.

본 논문은 센서 네트워크에서 효율적인 에너지 분산을 위한 동적인 다중 라우팅 기법을 제안한다. 센서 노드는 수집된 데이터의 처리에 사용되는 에너지에 비해서 데이터를 전송하는데 대부분의 에너지를 소비한다. 또한, 환경적인 영향 및 에너지의 고갈로 인한 센서 노드의 고장이 전체 네트워크의 통신에 영향을 주지 않아야 한다. 따라서 본 논문은 일정 노드에 수집된 데이터의 전송이 가중되어 센서 네트워크 노드의 활용성이 떨어지는 것을 지양하기 위해서 이웃 노드의 잔존 에너지량을 고려하고 데이터의 이동을 위해 싱크까지의 방향성 벡터 정보를 사용한 에너지 분산 라우팅 기법을 제안한다.

환경, 해양, 지질자원, 기상 기후 등 다양한 분야에서 연구목적으로 인공위성에 의해 관측된 위성영상을 활용하고 있다. 인공위성으로부터 수신된 영상데이터는 많은 왜곡을 포함하고 있으므로, 이를 이용하여 신뢰할 수 있는 분석을 하기 위해서는 영상데이터에 대한 보정 작업이 선행되어야 한다. 하지만 대부분의 전처리 작업이 단일노드/단일코어를 이용하고 있기 때문에 많은 연구자들이 불편함을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 단일노드/단일코어 상에서 수행되는 위성영상 처리 방식을 다중노드/다중코어를 이용하는 분산 처리 방안을 제안한다. 7개의 작업 실행 노드를 이용하여 실험한 결과에서, 분산 기반의 처리 성능이 단일노드/단일코어에서 수행된 처리 성능보다 최고 560.65% 향상되었음을 보여주었다.

MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc Network)에서는 노드들의 에너지가 제한적이기 때문에 에너지 효율적인 경로 설정이 중요한 이슈이다. 본 논문에서는 AOMDV(Ad-hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector)를 기반으로 노드의 에너지를 고려한 경로 설정과 유지 기법이 추가된 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 다중경로 라우팅 프로토콜은 노드의 에너지 잔량을 고려하여 경로를 설정하기 때문에 에너지 고갈로 인한 경로 재설정 횟수를 줄일 수 있으며, 노드의 에너지 잔량 임계치를 설정하여 노드의 에너지 잔량이 임계치 이하가 되면 에러 패킷을 전송함으로서 경로 변경 및 재설정시 생기는 데이터의 손실과 전송지연을 줄일 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a new routing scheme based on multi-path routing which provides uniform energy consumption for all nodes. This scheme adds a new type of root node for constructing multi-path. The sink node delegates some partial roles to these root nodes. Such root nodes carry out path establishment independently. As a result, each nodes consume energy more uniformly and the network life-time will be extended. Through simulation, we confirmed that energy consumption of the whole network is scattered and the network life-time is extended. Moreover, we show that the proposed routing scheme improves the performance of network compared to previous routing strategies as the number of source nodes increases.
