In this paper, we propose an improved MPR selection method considering mobility and density of nodes for ad-hoc networks. In Optimized Link State Routing(OLSR), a node selects 1-hop Multi-Point Relay(MPR) nodes to cover all 2-hop neighbor nodes. In a high population area, many nodes are likely to be selected as MPR nodes by their neighbors. This leads to increase in contention among MPR nodes and may decrease overall performance of the network. In addition, when an MPR node leaves the communication range of its MPR selector node, it can no longer perform as the MPR node and the performance of the network may also decrease. In this paper, we propose an MPR selection method which measures the mobility and density of nodes by exchanging the hello messages and gives the priorities to the nodes for MPR selection. Performance evaluation results using OPNET show that the proposed method is superior to OLSR or the MPR candidate method in terms of connectivity and throughput.

여러 이동노드들이 한 지역에서 동시에 위치인식 작업을 수행하는 경우에 노드들이 발생시키는 비콘이나 초음파 등이 충돌을 일으킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이동 노드들이 위치확인 작업을 수행하고자하는 경우에 RTS메시지와 CTS메시지를 이용하여 충돌을 회피하도록 하는 MIC기법을 제안한다. 다른 노드가 위치확인 작업을 수행하는 경우에는 NTS를 전송하여 노드 간에 작업이 충돌되지 않도록 한다.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) allow mobile nodes to communicate among themselves via wireless multiple hops without the help of the wired infrastructure. In the MANET, it is required not only a route setup mechanism that makes nodes not within each other's transmission range communicate but also mechanism in order for a node to auto-configure a unique address. In this paper, we propose an address auto-configuration mechanism when MANET is connected to the Internet via several Internet Gateways and all gateways advertise the same network prefix. By using the proposed mechanism, once a node configures an Internet topologically correct and globally unique IP address, then the node can utilize the configured address even though the node moves within the MANET. Through the simulations, we analyze the performance of our proposed mechanism and, from the simulation results, we show that out proposed mechanism outperforms the existing mechanism.

The localization service which provides the location information of mobile user, is one of important service provided by sensor network. Many methods to obtain the location information of mobile user have been proposed. However, these methods were developed for only one mobile user so that it is hard to extend for multiple mobile users. If multiple mobile users start the localization process concurrently, there could be interference of beacon or ultrasound that each mobile user transmits. In the paper, we propose LME, the localization technique for multiple mobile nodes in mobile wireless sensor networks. In LME, collision of localization between sensor nodes is prevented by forcing the mobile node to get the permission of localization from anchor nodes. For this, we use CTS packet type for localization initiation by mobile node and RTS packet type for localization grant by anchor node. NTS packet type is uevento reject localization by anchor node for interference avoidance.nghe experimental result shows that the number of interference between nodes are increased in proportion to the number of mobile nodes and LME provides efficient localization.

이동 ad-hoc 네트워크는 기반 망의 도움 없이 모바일 노드들로만 구성되어진 임시적인 네트워크이다. ad-hoc 네트워크를 구성한 모바일 노드들은 지속적인 전원공급이 힘들기 때문에 자신의 한정된 에너지에 의존한다. 이러한 모바일 노드의 에너지 소비를 줄이기 위해 IEEE 802.11 PSM를 적용한 다중 홉 ad-hoc 네트워크 모델에 대해서 최근 많은 연구가 이루어졌다. 다중 홉 ad-hoc 네트워크에 802.11 PSM을 적용하면 송수신에 참여하지 않는 모바일 노드들의 에너지소비를 절약하게 되어 네트워크 활동시간을 증가시키게 된다.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) allow mobile nodes to communicate among themselves via wireless multiple hops without the help of the wired infrastructure. Therefore, in the MANET, a route setup mechanism that makes nodes not within each other's transmission range communicate is required and, for this, the Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) was proposed as one of the reactive routing protocols well suited for the characteristics of the MANET. AODV uses the hop count as the routing metric and, as a result, a node selects the farthest neighbor node as its next hop on a route, which results in a problem of deteriorating the overall network throughput because of selecting a relatively low data rate route. In this paper, we propose an efficient reactive routing protocol based on the multi-rate aware MAC. Through the simulations, we analyze the performance of our proposed mechanism and, from the simulation results, we show that our proposed mechanism outperforms the existing mechanism.

센서 네트워크는 구성의 편리성과 이동성, 확장성이 뛰어난 장점을 가지고 있어서 침입 탐지나 원격감시 등 여러 분야에서 응용이 가능한 네트워크로 앞으로 계속 발전해야할 과제가 남아 있다. 즉, 센서 네트워크 환경에서는 보안성을 위해 센서 노드들은 키를 공유해야 하는데, 기존에 제안된 키 분배기법은 키가 너무 많이 필요하거나, 비 효율적인 문제가 있고 노드간 연결이 안되서 도태 되는 노드가 생기는 등 취약한 점이 많다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크 환경에서 안전한 키 분배를 위한 방법중에 쿼럼 시스템을 응용한 다중선택그리드 쿼럼방식을 사용해 센서 노드들 사이의 인증을 강화시켜 외부의 공격 노드들로부터 안전하고 노드간 연결성이 보장되는 방법을 제시하고 있다.

Given the increased interest in ubiquitous computing, wireless sensor network has been researched widely. The localization service which provides the location information of mobile user, is one of important service provided by sensor network. Many methods to obtain the location information of mobile user have been proposed. However, these methods were developed for only one mobile user so that it is hard to extend for multiple mobile users. If multiple mobile users start the localization process concurrently, there could be interference of beacon or ultrasound that each mobile user transmits. In the paper, we propose APL(Adaptive Power Control based Resource Allocation Technique for Efficient Localization Technique), the localization technique for multiple mobile nodes based on adaptive power control in mobile wireless sensor networks. In APL, collision of localization between sensor nodes is prevented by forcing the mobile node to get the permission of localization from anchor nodes. For this, we use RTS(Ready To Send) packet type for localization initiation by mobile node and CTS(Clear To Send) packet type for localization grant by anchor node. NTS(Not To Send) packet type is used to reject localization by anchor node for interference avoidance and STS(Start To Send) for synchronization between 모anchor nodes. At last, the power level of sensor node is controled adaptively to minimize the affected area. The experimental result shows that the number of interference between nodes are increased in proportion to the number of mobile nodes and APL provides efficient localization.

무선 센서 망에서 다중 경로 라우팅은 센서 노드와 링크의 실패로 인한 잦은 경로 단절의 문제를 해결하기 위해 연구되었다. 이러한 다중 경로 라우팅에서, 이동 이벤트가 고려되면 소스는 이벤트의 이동 경로를 따라서 생성이 되고, 각각의 소스는 자신으로부터 다중 경로를 생성하게 된다. 그러나, 이동 이벤트는 연속적으로 소스를 생성하기 때문에, 기존의 소스가 구성한 다중 경로를 이용하면 효율적으로 다중 경로를 이전의 소스로부터 새로운 소스까지 재구성할 있다. 그러므로, 본 논문은 무선 센서 망에서 이동 이벤트를 위한 효율적인 다중 경로 라우팅 방안을 제안한다. 제안 방안은 에너지 소비 비용 모델을 기반으로 지역적 경로 재구성 방법과 광역적 재구성 방법을 선택한다. 지역적 재구성 방법이 선택되면, 제안 방안은 이동 이벤트의 이동 방향을 고려하여 기존의 다중 경로를 지역적으로 재구성한다. 반면에, 광역적 재구성 방법이 선택되면 제안 방안은 새로운 소스가 싱크까지 광역적으로 다중 경로를 재구성한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안 방안이 기존의 방안보다 에너지 관점에 효율적임을 증명한다.

The demand for next generation networks can be condensed into always-best-connected, ubiquitous, mobile, all-lP, and converged networks. IPv6 has been introduced for all-IP ubiquitous communications, and vehicles are coming to represent an important communication platform. In this paper. we propose various resource management schemes for in-vehicle mobile networks, which are adaptive to different hardware configurations. We focus on power and wireless bandwidth since they are critical resources for mobile communications. Based on the mobility characteristics of in-vehicle networks, we propose vehicle-aware power saving schemes. The main idea behind these power saving schemes is to adjust mobile router (MR) advertisement interval and binding lifetime. In addition, according to different wireless environments, we propose adaptive bandwidth management schemes using multihoming: best-connected MR selection based on location, and high-data-rate MR selection based on priority By mathematical analysis, it is shown that our schemes save power prominently for both the dormant nodes and active nodes. In addition, simulation results show that proposed multiple mobile router architecture outperforms previous simple redundant router architecture in preserving session and providing sufficient bandwidth.
