To complete the "anywhere" mobile service there should not be shaded areas. However, it is never economical to deploy BS's (Base Stations) in a low population density area due to the low resource utilization. We propose a design technique to install RS's(Relay Stations) which are cheaper than BS's and find the condition in which the proposed technique is acceptible. The proposed design technique aims to allocate the frequency and time resources to RS's to minimize the transmission rate degradation due to interferences between RS's as well as to maximize the parallelism in transmission. We showed by simulation that the proposed technique achieves cost benefits when the expected traffic is less than 20.32 percent of the total BS capacity. The proposed technique is compatible with the IEEE 802.16j, thus can be extended to multi-hop configuration.

In an infrastructure-based wireless network, an access point is used for all communications among mobile devices. However, when a mobile device moves into a dead Bone, a connectivity disruption between the mobile device and the access point occurs. Such connectivity disruption consequently leads to another connectivity disruption between the mobile device moving toward the dead zone and other wireless-enabled devices located within the area of the infrastructure-based wireless network. To cope with the connectivity disruption in the infrastructure-based wireless network the ad hoc network that dynamically forms a network without any preexisting communication infrastructure needs to be set up to provide seamless connections among mobile devices. In this paper, we propose the DNSQ-MAC (Dynamic Network State aware QoS-Medium Access Control) technique that meets the deadlines of MAC frames forwarded over hop-by-hop multipaths and guarantees the QoS performance of an ad hoc-based wireless network. Mobile devices incorporating the DNSQ-MAC technique are capable of adjusting to the new dynamic network status in order to enhance the QoS performance in the ad hoc-based wireless network. A case study which exploits the Qualnet simulator shows that the proposed DNSQ-MAC technique can guarantee the deadlines of MAC frames forwarded over hop-by-hop multipaths and enhance the QoS performance of various routing protocols and packet schedulers running on the network layer above the MAC layer.

In order to realize Intelligent Transport System (ITS) without any road facilities support, Inter-vehicle Communication (IVC) is increased attention. IVC makes it possible to exchange real-time information among vehicles without centralized infrastructure. The IVC systems use multi-hop broadcast to disseminate information. In this paper, we propose the improved AODV routing protocol based on location information. The proposed AODV routing protocol transmits Hello packet with location information to calculate the distance between nodes. Then it achieves fast link recovery. We confirm the throughput performance of the proposed AODV routing protocol compared with the AODV routing protocol using Qualnet ver.3.8 simulator.

무선 센서 네트워크에서의 통신은 여러 계층으로 나뉘어 각 계층별 역할을 수행하므로 무선통신이 가능할 수 있다. 센서 네트워크에서의 통신계층 중 하나인 MAC(Medium Access Control)계층은 데이터의 에러, 흐름을 제어하고 자원을 관리하기 위해서 사용되며 MAC Protocol을 사용하여 센서 노드간의 통신을 보장한다. 전통적인 MAC Protocol은 패킷 처리율의 최대화, 지연의 최소화 및 공평성 제공이 주된 목적으로 설계된 된다. 무선 센서 네트워크에서 MAC 프로토콜은 응용에 따라 차이는 있으나 대부분 많은 센서 노드들로 구성된다. 또한 멀티 홉 통신을 하기 때문에 센서 장치의 제한된 배터리 수명으로 인해 소모되는 에너지를 최소화 하여 네트워크 에너지의 효율성을 높이는 것이 가장 큰 목적이다. 본 논문에서는 에너지 효율성 측면을 강조하기 위해서 MAC프로토콜의 문제점을 알아보고 그 중에서 최우선적으로 요구되는 에너지 효율성에 대해서 S-MAC, T-MAC의 비교와 T-MAC의 확률값을 변경에 따른 어느 경우가 가장 효율적인지 active time을 통하여 알아보았다.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm that improve network lifetime by adjusting cluster size according to location information of sensor node in wireless sensor network (WSN) using clustering algorithm. The collected sensing information by sensor nodes in each cluster are transferred to sink node using inter-cluster communications method. Cluster head (CH) that located nearby sink node spend much more energy than those of far from sink node, because nearer CH forwards more data, so network lifetime has a tendency to decrease. Proposed algorithm minimizes energy consumption in adjacent cluster to sink node by decreasing cluster size, and improve CH lifetime by distributing transmission paths. As a result of mathematical analysis, the proposed algorithm shows longer network lifetime in WSN.

This paper investigates how many optimal routes can be established in terms of a given wireless mesh routing metric. Although many of routing metrics have been devised to precisely derive the wireless link quality in mesh, most (if not all) metrics have not been evaluated their optimality along with routing protocols. We consider stateof-the-art routing metrics and a widely accepted routing protocol in order to observe the optimality of established routes varying the number of source nodes. Also, we propose a unidirectional routing to deal with possible link asymmetry feature in wireless links. Through comparative simulation evaluations, we show that the portion of optimally established routes becomes less as the network traffic load increases, regardless of employed metrics, network topologies, and routing protocols.

Ad hoc could be very important in the location-based technology, much research could work underway in these days. In this paper, the property of based on RSSI (Received signal strength indicator) could extract information. A distance of self-made nodes testing were implemented for an each other between given nodes. A special purpose UoC (ubiquitous of System On Chip) system was developed in this paper. This system could provide a function of RSSI property for location information experiments. This attribute information could make possible LBS (Location-Based System) experiment for ranging technique in this development system. The experiment results could show a possibility performance delivery ratio and the number of hops. This given performance of the location information could be used to acquire a ranging technique in large number of nodes network system.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve collision avoidance in Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) networks based on IEEE 802.11p. Since IEEE 802.11p adopts CSMA/CA as a multiple access scheme and an emergency warning message (EWM) is delivered to behind vehicles in a multi-hop manner, due to transmission collision, the more vehicles in the vehicle chain results in a longer delay. The longer delay increases the possibility of a rear-end collision. In order to ensure message reception with low latency, we consider implicit acknowledgement of a broadcasted EWM message and propose an algorithm to reduce redundant message transactions, called Two-Way Implicit Acknowledgement (TWIA). By simulations, we show that our proposed algorithm can reduce the latency until the last car receives the message by 9% and the success rate every car receives the message within 0.7sec by 12% at 100 fixed-number-of-car environment.

The development of wireless network technology allows high data rate seamless communication irrespective of the place and time in various emerging mobile service environment. Unlike wired networks, however, wireless networks utilize expensive limited bandwidth. MBS(Multicast Broadcast Service), which is supported by mobile WiMAX system based on IEEE802.16e, overcomes this problem using a shared downlink channel for efficiently supporting a number of users. However. the coverage and throughput of the system are significantly affected by the channel condition. In this paper we propose on MBS system employing Mobile Multi-Hop Relay(MMR) and adaptive modulation and coding(AMC) scheme. The result of NS-2 computer simulation shows that the throughput and transmission time are substantially improved by the proposed approach compared to the existing MBS system.

Geocasting is a form of communication that transmits messages to all nodes within a given geographical region(i.e., the geocasting region). Most of conventional onery aware protocols were based on shortest-hop routing that is, they minimized the cost in terms of the distance and total transmission energy not considering both the residual energy at each node and the link error ratio when selecting the routes for communication. In this paper we propose a MLRG(Maximum Lifetime Reliable Geocast) protocol for energy-efficient and reliable geocasting in Ad-hoc networks. The proposed MLRG, a position-based and routing-based geocasting algorithm, maximizes the network lifetime using newly defined cost function and selecting the energy balanced routes on the basis of each node's residual energy, and provides a reliable communication considering the link error ratio.
