In order to reduce end-to-end delay in EH-WSN (energy harvestin wireless sensor netowk), medium access control protocols using multi-hop routing technique have been studied. In a real environment, there are many situations where it is difficult to harvest enough energy than the energy consumed. Therefore, it is required to design a MAC protocol that allows nodes to reliably relay data without exhausting power in multi-hop transmission. In this paper, we propose a power-efficient MAC protocol that can select the relay node according to the residual power and the energy collection rate to increase network lifetime.

In this paper, we propose a LED communication based multi-hop audio data transmission network system. The main contribution and features of the proposed system are as follows. First, the contribution of this research is to develope the LED communication based multi-hop transmission network system which can transmit audio data signal with long distance via multi-hops. Second, the developed system has the following features: In transmitter, audio data is transmitted after encoding with S/PDIF format via a general LED. The relay receives digital audio signal by using photo diode and then transmits the signal to receiver after error checking and amplifying. The receiver receives the encoded audio data via photo diode and then converts to analog audio signal by using decoding and amplifying. The performance evaluation of the proposed system is conducted in the laboratory with fluorescent light source. The results of the performance evaluation confirm that the system can provide high quality audio transmission from transmiter to receiver via multi-hop relays in a long distance while we can see there are differences in the transmitted audio quality according to the used LED colors.

유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크(USN)는 다수의 u-센서 노드간 애드 혹(Ad Hoc), 멀티 홉(Multi Hop) 통신으로 구성된다. 그러나 USN이 시작 단계인 현재 시점에서, 과거 시리얼이나 이더넷으로 구성된 유선 네트워크를 지그비, 블루투스, 와이파이 등을 이용한 포인트 투 포인트 (Point To Point) 무선 네트워크로 전환하는 이슈가 많은 부분을 차지하고 있다. 하지만 적용 범위가 넓고 별도의 광역 인프라를 구성하기 곤란한 경우, USN을 이용한 애드 흑, 멀티홉 메시 네트워크를 구성하는 사례도 점차 늘어나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 환경에서 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크를 보다 쉽고 편리하게 모니터링 하기 위한 시스템을 제안하였다.

센서 네트워크에서 각 센서 노드의 에너지 소모를 최소화하여 에너지 소모를 줄임으로써 망의 지속시간을 늘이는 것이 중요하다. 기존의 MAC(Medium Access Control) 프로토콜은 채널 폴링 기법을 이용하여 효율적인 에너지 관리에 대한 해결책을 제시 하였으나, 그러한 방식에 따른 각 노드의 Duty Cycle이 길어짐으로써 발생하는 에너지 소모에 대한 해결책은 제시하지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 채널 폴링과 함께 스케쥴링 알고리즘을 적용하여 Duty Cycle의 주기를 줄임으로써 에너지 소모를 줄인다. 특히 이 방식을 이용하여 멀티홉과 과다한 트래픽에 대한 성능의 평가를 위해 실험을 통해 제안하는 프로토콜의 우수한 성능을 보인다.

This paper proposes a multichannel random access channel allocation scheme for multihop cellular networks to guarantee the stable throughput of a random access. The fundamental contribution is a mathematical formula for an optimal partition ratio of shared random access channels between a base station and a relay station. In addition, the proposed scheme controls the retransmission probability of random access packets under heavy load condition. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can guarantee the required random access channel utilization and packet transmission delay even if the a random access packet arrival rate is higher than 0.1.

In this paper, we present an effective cross layer-based video transmission algorithm over multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The proposed algorithm selects the most efficient PHY mode of wireless LAN multi-rate service at each node in a distributed way based on the available information at application, MAC, and physical layers in order to minimize end-to-end delay and maintain packet loss rate in tolerable range at the receiver. Finally, experimental results are provided to show superior performance of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, a routing algorithm for wireless sensor networks is proposed to improve the efficiency of energy consumption in sensor nodes. Each sensor node has the value called ‘Flooding Level’ obtained through the initial flooding from a sink node instead of sending beacon messages in multi-hop sensor field. This value can be used for guaranteeing the sensor nodes to connect with a sink node and determining the roles of cluster-head and cluster-gateway node efficiently and simply during the clustering. If different algorithms are added to our protocol, it will work better in the side of energyefficiency. This algorithm is evaluated through analysis and extensive simulations.

We propose the control channel access scheme for multi-interface multi-hop cognitive radio (CR) environment having a cluster structure. Due to the difficulty of obtaining common channels across the entire CR network, most multi-interface multi-hop CR networks put the control channel outside the CR bandwidth and dedicate one network interface to it in order to exchange the control information such as the activation of licensed users. However, this will be the waste of the network interface. Our focus is how to alternate between the control and the data channel without multichannel hidden node problem under the cluster structure where CR nodes connect with neighbors through multiple data channels. By using simulation, we evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The results show that the proposed scheme achieves higher network throughput than the dedicated scheme where one network interface card should dedicate to the control channel and cannot be used for data transmission.

In this paper, new multicast scheduling algorithms are proposed for the WDM single－hop broadcast－and－select networks. The existing multicast scheduling algorithms do not concerned the previous state of receivers, but the proposed method call H－EAR and PGM that partition a multicast group to subgroups using the tunable transmitter, state information of receivers, and pseudo group concept. the performance of proposed algorithms are evaluated through the computer simulation. They show the better Performance comparing with the existing multicast scheduling algorithm.
