Mobile nodes in high mobility ad hoc networks might come together in specific areas. In non-uniformly distributed networks, traffic load can be concentrated to intermediate nodes between dense clusters, and networks performance can be degraded. In this paper, we proposed a cluster based routing protocol that heavy traffic nodes adaptively react according to traffic load. The simulation result shows that the proposed protocol reduce packet loss and end-to-end delay.

최근 모바일 장치의 증가와 무선 네트워크 환경의 발전은 모바일 애드혹 네트워크에 대한 관심을 증가시키고 있다. 최근까지의 연구는 모바일 애드혹 네트워크에서 데이터 접근성(Accessibility) 향상을 위해 복제의 활용이 효율적임을 증명하고 있다. 복제 기법이 모바일 애드혹 네트워크에서 실제로 활용되기 위해서는 원본과 복제본 사이에 일관성(Consistency)이 확보되어야만 한다. 기존의 연구에서는 일관성 확보를 위해 원본을 가진 노드에게 확인하는 기법을 활용하고 있다. 그러나, 시간제약을 가지는 응용의 경우 원본을 가진 노드에게 확인하는 기법은 효율적이지 못하며, 때로는 심각한 문제를 일으킬 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 시간제약응용을 위한 캐쉬 무효화 기법을 제안하고 있다. 제안하는 기법을 통해 기존의 일관성 확인 기법에서 일어나는 '롤백(Rollback)' 문제를 해결할 수 있었으며, 접근시간(Access time) 측면에서 성능향상을 얻을 수 있었다. 실험 결과는 본 논문의 접근시간 측면에서의 효율적임을 증명하여 준다.

To sense a wide area with mobile nodes, the uniformity of node deployment is a very important issue. In this paper, we consider the coverage problem to sense big data in sparse mobile ad hoc networks. In most existing works on the coverage problem, it has been assumed that the number of nodes is large enough to cover the area in the network. However, the coverage problem in sparse mobile ad hoc networks differs in the sense that a long-distance between nodes should be formed to avoid the overlapping coverage areas. We formulate the sensor coverage problem in sparse mobile ad hoc networks and provide the solution to the problem by a self-organized approach without a central authority. The experimental results show that our approach is more efficient than the existing ones, subject to both of coverage areas and energy consumption.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are infrastructure-less and stand-alone wireless networks with dynamic topologies. To support user's safety in MANETs, fundamental and various security services should be supported. Especially in mobile commercial market, one of the major concerns regarding security is user privacy. Recently, researches about security system to protect user privacy in cluster-based MANETs have been introduced. This paper propose a cluster reconfiguration protocol under anonymous cluster-based MANETs to enhance the network stability. The improved anonymous cluster-based MANETs can recover the network structure against abnormal states of clutserheads.

We design, implement, and evaluate a user-level ad hoc network routing protocol on the COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) mobile devices. In situations such as disaster recovery, emergency communication between mobile devices is necessary. For wide deployability and usability of such a system, we design and implement the networking protocols on the user level instead of modifying the kernel of mobile devices. In order to support reliable data transfer in high mobility scenarios, we selected to implement AODV (Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector) as the routing protocol and TCP as the transport layer protocol. With our implementation of ad hoc networking stack on COTS smartphones, we conducted experiments in various networking environments. Our experimental results show that ad hoc networking is possible in up to 12 hops in a line topology and 5 concurrent devices in a star topology.

This paper proposes a virtual mobile ad-hoc network (VMANET) model that automatically divides heterogeneous mobile devices of a MANET into a number of network groups depending on the communication capacity(data rate) of different network operational models such as IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11b, and Frequency Hopping. In addition, it supports a distinct routing protocol for each network group of VMANETs, resulting in running multiple routing protocols concurrently on different groups of VMANETs. To reduce the network congestion and improve the network load balance, a default MANET gateway is configured in each VMANET and these gateways are responsible for integrating the MANET and IP networks. Experiment results show that the proposed model outperforms the conventional IMANET by significantly increasing throughput and reducing network congestion and network delay.

An ad hoc network is multi-hop wireledss formed by mobile node without infrastructure. Due to the mobility of nodes in mobile ad hoc networks, the topology of network changes frequently. In this environments, multicast protocols are faced with the challenge of producing multi-hop routes and limitation of bandwidth. We compare the performance of two multicast routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks - Serial Multiple Disjoint Tree Multicast Routing Protocol (Serial MDTMR) and Adaptive Core Multicast Routing Protocol (ACMRP). The simulator is implemented with GloMoSim.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경을 지원하기 위한 네트워크 환경은 점차 복잡해지고 다양화 되었다. 이러한 네트워크 환경은 기존의 환경과는 다르게 네트워크를 임시적으로 구성하는 애드혹 환경으로 변화하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 애드혹 네트워크를 지원하는 에이전트 관리 기능을 제안한다. 구현된 주요 기능은 모바일 장치간 에이전트 서비스 제공, 동적인 AMS, DF 서비스 제공자 생성, 서비스 제공자의 유지이며, 이러한 기능들은 블루투스(Bluetooth) 프로토콜을 기반으로 구현되었다. 이를 통해 기존의 에이전트 플랫폼에서 제공하지 못하는 애드혹 네트워크 환경 하의 에이전트 관리가 효율적으로 이루어짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

Security of self organized mobile ad hoc networks is an important issue because administration information in the networks is managed by the constituent nodes. Especially authentication mechanism is necessary for trust setup between newly joining nodes and the network. The authentication models and protocols which are based on the wireline infrastructure could not be practical for mobile ad hoc network. Although public key algorithm-based method is widely used for authentication, it is not easy to be applied to mobile ad hoc networks because they do not have infrastructure such as centralized CA which is needed for certificate verification. In this paper, we consider the public key based random CA group method proposed in [1] to provide efficient authentication scheme to mobile ad hoc networks and analyze the performance of the method, which is then compared to the home CA method. From the analysis results, we see that the random CA method where the function of CA is distributed to some mobile nodes and the authentication information is propagated to randomly chosen CAs shows higher reliability and lower cost than home CA method.

Mobile Ad hoc Network(MANET) consists of a node that has mobility. In MANET, the node has routing, the node builds a network of their own, no dependent infrastructure. Topology are exchanged due to node mobility in MANET. For reducing the change of topology, hierarchical network algorithm has been investigated. In hierarchical network, cluster member node communicates through cluster head node. When the load-balancing of cluster head node is exceed, assigned cluster member node can't communicate with base station. To solve this problem, we proposed Load Tolerance algorithm. The proposed algorithm, when cluster member node can't send a message by cluster head node that exceed load-balancing, then the cluster member node sends a message by selected load tolerance node. Through a simulation, the proposed algorithm improves packet delivery ratio in cluster routing.
