In the WSN environment, the sensor node is selected as the cluster header and consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, we proposed a method to automatically select a cluster algorithm using the sensor field environment that can improve the reliability of the whole network by applying an energy efficient clustering algorithm based on already deployed sensor field. Experimental results show that FDN is extended about 3 times by using the proposed algorithm. In addition, the network energy is extended by up to 30% compared to the conventional method, thereby improving the reliability of the sensor network.

태양 에너지 기반 무선 센서 네트워크(SP-WSN) 환경에서는 주기적으로 배터리가 충전되므로 에너지 소모를 최소화하기 보다는 수집된 에너지의 효율적인 사용이 중요하다. 한편, 잘 알려진 것처럼 SP-WSN을 포함하여 모든 센서 네트워크들은 사용되는 센서 노드의 특성상 성능이 제한적이므로 노드 간의 통신 신뢰도가 낮을 수밖에 없다. 본 논문에서는 위의 특성들을 고려하여 SP-WSN에서 신뢰성있는 통신을 할 수 있는 향상된 순방향 에러정정 기법(FEC) 기법을 제안한다. 싱크에서 수집되는 데이터양과 정전되는 노드 수를 다른 기법들과 비교함으로써 제안 기법의 성능 검증을 수행하였다.

In this paper, we propose a Clustering-based Cooperative Routing using OFDM (CCRO) for supporting transmission efficiency in mobile wireless sensor networks. The main features and contributions of the proposed method are as follows. First, the clustering method which uses the location information of nodes as underlying infrastructure for supporting stable transmission services efficiently is used. Second, cluster-based cooperative data transmission method is used for improving data transmission and reliability services. Third, OFDM based data transmission method is used for improving data transmission ratio with channel efficiency. Fourth, we consider realistic approach in the view points of the mobile ad-hoc wireless sensor networks while conventional methods just consider fixed sensor network environments. The performance evaluation of the proposed method is performed via simulation using OPNET and theoretical analysis. The results of performance evaluation show improvement of transmission efficiency.

The TCP protocol can provide some reliability using sliding window mechanism for data transmission, flow control, and congestion control. However, TCP has some limitations in that it has basically been designed solely for wired communication environments. If traditional TCP protocol is used also in wireless networks, the end-to-end data transmission performance degrades dramatically due to frequent packet losses caused by transmission errors and hand-offs. While there have been some research efforts on TCP enhancements considering the mobility of wireless communication devices, in this paper we propose a new method to improve the TCP performance by combining the Snoop and the Freeze-TCP methods. In the proposed scheme, the TCP end-to-end semantics is maintained and no changes of existing protocols in sending systems or in routers are required. It has the advantage of simple implementation because TCP code changes are limited to mobile devices for applying the Freeze-TCP and it requires only to add Snoop modules in base stations. Accordingly, the proposed scheme can operate well in the existing networks. Finally, in this study, we compared the performance of the proposed scheme with traditional TCP, other approaches through simulations using ns-2.

As the demand for ubiquitous mobile wireless Internet grows, vehicles are receiving a lot of attention as new networking platforms. The demand for 4G all-IP networks encourages vehicle networks to be connected using IPv6. By means of network mobility (NEMO) support, we can connect sensors, controllers, local ,servers as well as passengers' devices of a vehicle to the Internet through a mobile router. The mobile router provides the connectivity to the Internet and mobility transparency for the rest of the mobile nodes of an in-vehicle nv6 network. So, it is .important for the mobile router to assure reliable connection and a sufficient data rate for the group of nodes behind it. To provide reliability, this paper proposes an adaptive multihoming architecture of multiple mobile routers. Proposed architecture makes use of different mobility characteristics of different vehicles. Simulation results with different configurations show that the proposed architecture increases session preservation thus increases reliability and reduces packet loss. We also show that the proposed architecture is adaptive to heterogeneous access environment which provide different access coverage areas and data rates. The result shows that our architecture achieves sufficient data rates as well as session preservation.

센서네트워크는 사람을 대신해 다양한 환경에서 감시와 정보수집 역할을 수행한다. 센서네트워크는 제한된 하드웨어 자원과 낮은 무선 네트워크 대역폭을 사용한다. 이러한 특성은 통신 중 높은 에러율을 발생시키며 데이터 신뢰도 향상을 위한 오류정정 기법의 필요성이 높다. 센서노드의 환경에 따른 CRC 에러와 패턴에 대한 연구는 오류정정 기법의 적절한 기법 선택을 위한 자료가 된다. 본 논문에서는 시스템 구성시 데이터 전송률에 영향을 미치는 전송주기와 센서노드간의 거리 전송 패킷의 크기, RF의 크기에 대한 실험을 실시한다. 실험한 결과를 바탕으로 시스템 구성에서 고려해야 하는 요소를 알아본다.

Cognitive radio (CR), which is proposed as a technology that utilizes the frequency resources effectively, has been studied to relive scarcity of the frequency resources. Also, FCC revises the regulation to reuse the TV white spaces for applying CR system and allows to use the TV white spaces by CR devices and use of CR device may be regularized after conversion by DTV in 2009. In order to reuse the TV bands without harmful interference to primary user, correct spectrum sensing should be needed to detect DTV signals that is the primary user in TV bands. In this paper, we detect the DTV signal using FFT-based pilot sensing and cooperative sensing scheme is applied for the reliability of the sensing performance and the accuracy of the detection probability. Also, in order to make the reliable decision, the majority rule is proposed.

It has been occurred many times that wireless sensor networks (WSNs) had congested areas because all the sensing data collected by multiple sensor nodes are delivered to one sink node. Typically, in order to control congested areas, it used to reduce the traffic by increasing the sensing period or discarding packets. However, those schemes have a disadvantage that it loses the reliability when delivering sensing data. Moreover, there are no schemes considering case of having poor quality of links between nodes in practical terms. In this paper, we suggest a scheme not to reduce the traffic but to distribute the traffic by changing routing paths depends on the traffic and the quality of links. Also, it can be seen that the reliability of delivering of the sensing data is improved with the experiments improving collection rates and shortening end-to-end delay.

Wireless sensor networks are installed in various environments and collect sensing data through wireless links. The quality of a wireless link may be unstable due to environment causes and hardware performance in wireless sensor networks. Since the change of the link quality may cause data loss, sensor nodes need to adaptively estimate the change of the link quality. Also, the routing protocol should deal with this situation. In this paper, the adaptive link quality estimation and routing scheme in the large-scale wireless sensor networks are proposed. When the quality of a link is unstable, sensor nodes agilely estimate the quality of links, and the new route is selected. When quality of a link is stable, the link quality is occasionally estimated so that the energy consumption is reduced. Moreover, sensor nodes exchange less beacons in order to reduce an overhead in dense networks. In the case of sparse network, the sensor nodes exchange more beacons for finding a better route. We prove that the proposed scheme can improve the energy efficiency and reliability.
