센서 네트워크에서의 네트워크 리프로그래밍은 무선 통신을 통해 센서 노드에서 수행되는 소프트웨어를 변경하는 것으로서, 이를 사용하면 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 수백 개 혹은 수천 개의 노드들의 소프트웨어를 효과적으로 변경시킬 수 있다. 현재 네트워크 리프로그래밍을 위해 XNP, MNP. MOAP, Deluge, Mate 및 Incremental 기법 등이 제안되어 왔지만 아직 만족할만한 방법은 찾아보기 힘든 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 멀티홉을 지원하는 Deluge에 Incremental 기법을 통합하여 효율적인 리프로그래밍 기법을 구현하였다. 제안된 기법은 TinyOS 1.1.14 버전에 구현되었으며, 이를 통해서 네트워크 리프로그래밍을 위해 요구되는 패킷의 수와 소요시간을 크게 단축시킬 수 있다. 또한 센서 노드에서 패킷 전송에 따른 전력소 모가 가장 큰 점을 고려할 때 본 연구에서 제안하는 방식을 사용하면 센서 노드의 전력소모량도 크게 감소시킬 수 있는 효과를 기대할 수 있다.

최근 통신사업자들이 초고속 무선 인터넷 서비스를 위하여 와이브로 네트워크를 설치하고 있으나, 산간 지역이나 네트워크 인프라를 구축하기 어려운 지역에서는 와이브로 서비스를 제공받지 못하는 경우가 생긴다. 현재 와이브로 네트워크에서는 서비스를 제공받지 못하는 음영지역을 중계기를 이용하여 해소하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 음영지역에 고정 중계기를 설치하는 대신 고정 중계기 비용 절감 및 능동적인 네트워크 확장이 가능하도록 WLAN 네트워크에서 연구되고 있는 ad-hoc 기반의 멀티홉 릴레이 방식을 사용하여 음영지역 문제를 해결하고자 한다

This paper proposes packet aggregation scheme for considering energy consumption of mobile devices on guaranteeing quality of voice. To our purpose, we analyze VoIP service on wireless multi-hop channel in terms of delay, packet loss and energy consumption when packet aggregation scheme is applied to VoIP service. Moreover, we induce a cost function with considering of tradeoff relation between quality of voice and energy consumption.

In multihop cellular network environments, the mobility of nodes is a major obstacle to find a reliable routing path between a mobile node (MN) and the access node (AN). Therefore, in this paper, we propose a fast and reliable neighbor discovery protocol that enables the fast and reliable neighbor discovery by considering the node mobility in the multihop cellular network. The proposed neighbor discovery protocol inhibits the transmission of unnecessary control messages to quickly find a suitable neighbor node (NN) and performs a priority-based access control to transmit control messages without collision in the order of NN desirable to be selected. Simulation results show that the proposed neighbor discovery protocol can discover the NNs faster than the conventional scheme and select a more reliable relay node although the number of neighbor nodes increases and the node mobility increases.

For the wireless mesh networks, efficient routing protocol is required to transmit data from source to destination node through multi-hop transmission. Multipath routing enable the stable data transmission even in the case of traffic congestion or unstable link. In this paper, we propose partial multipath routing which does not make a full multipath but partial for some parts of unstable links. This partial multipath routing reduce the number of nodes for routing and minimized the required power.

Efficient routing algorithm is required to transmit data from source to destination by multi-hop transmission in wireless sensor networks. In the multi-hop transmission, multipath routing can be one of the solutions to cope with the traffic congestion and unstable link condition. In this paper, we propose partial multipath routing which does not establish a secondary full routing path but a partial multipath to complement some poor links, and it can enable stable data transmission and reduce the number of nodes in routing path and the required total power compared with conventional multipath routing.

Multihop is the main communication style for wireless sensor networks composed of tiny sensor nodes. Until now, most applications have treated the periodic small sized sensing data. Recently, the burst traffic with the transient and continuous nature is increasingly introduced due to the advent of wireless multimedia sensor networks. Therefore, the efficient communication protocol to support this trend is required. In this paper, we propose a novel PIGAB(Packet Interval Gap based on Adaptive Backoff) protocol to efficiently transmit the burst data in multihop wireless sensor networks. The contention-based PIGAB protocol consists of the PIG(Packet Interval Gap) control algorithm in the source node and the MF(MAC-level Forwarding) algorithm in the relay node. The PIGAB is on basis of the newly proposed AB(Adaptive Backoff), CAB(Collision Avoidance Backoff), and UB(Uniform Backoff). These innovative algorithms and schemes can achieve the performance of network by adjusting the gap of every packet interval, recognizing the packet transmission of the hidden node. Through the simulations and experiments, we identify that the proposed PIGAB protocol considerably has the stable throughput and low latency in transmitting the burst data in multihop wireless sensor networks.

In this paper, we propose a method for throughput improvement in multirate multihop wireless networks with intra-session network coding. A multirate transmission supports several rates so that it has a tradeoff between transmission rate and transmission range, therefore multirate can cope with the performance degradation. We present the rate selection method with intra-session network coding in multirate nodes. The effective transmission rate is calculated by using intra-session network coding, and then its maximum effective transmission rate is selected. Concurrent transmission set is determined by selected transmission rate and then the linear programming is formulated for throughput calculation in multihop wireless networks. We evaluate the performance by using MATLAB and lp_solve programs in two topologies. It is shown that the throughput of the proposed method is improved.

This paper presents problems of network technology in smart grid and implements a blockchain-based LoRa multi-hop network to solve them. Since some smart grid applications are operated in harsh environments, it is difficult to establish communication infrastructure. We propose a LoRa network with multi-hop using the Flooding routing protocol. Smart grid environment composes an independent network using various power grid protocols depending on the application. Since this has a problem that an independent infrastructure must be established for each network, a single gateway device supports multiple power grid protocols to implement a method for network integration. Lastly, the author applied Hyperledger-based blockchain to the LoRa network to ensure the integrity of data in a smart grid environment, and strengthened security by physically distributing it. After constructing the three suggestions on the actual test bed, we confirmed that the network operates normally through experiments.

Though WiMedia supports the higher data rates than other WPAN technologies, a WiMedia device cannot reach other devices which are apart from it more than 10 meter; the limited transmission range of the WiMedia protocol. In this paper, we propose a multi-hop QoS routing protocol to enable WiMedia devices to transmit real-time data to devices that is located out of transmission range. The proposed routing protocol is a hybrid routing protocol, which is the mixed protocol of table-driven and on-demand routing algorithm. In the proposed protocol, a route for a device within 2-hop is established by using the table-driven routing algorithm and a route for the device beyond 2-hop is established by using the on-demand routing algorithm. We perform ns-2 simulation to investigate the performance of the proposed routing protocol with AODV and DSDV. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol's performance is better than AODV and DSDV in terms of the throughput and delay.
