AODV 프로토콜은 최단경로 라우팅 기법, 에너지 효율, 빠른 지역 경로 복구 등을 위한 많은 알고리즘이 연구되어 왔다. AODV 프로토콜의 성능평가는 대부분 NS2 시뮬레이터를 통해 이루어지고 있으며, AODV의 성능개선을 위한 알고리즘의 적용은 NS2의 AODV 소스파일 변경을 통해 이루어진다. AODV 소스파일의 AODV 클래스가 아주 많은 역할을 하는 구조로 작성되어 있어 알고리즘의 적용이 쉽지 않고, 이로 인해 성능평가를 위한 시뮬레이션에 시간과 노력이 많이 들게 된다. 이를 위해 기존 소프트웨어를 재사용하고 유연성을 높일 수 있도록 소프트웨어의 리팩토링을 해주어야 한다. 리팩토링은 소프트웨어를 효율적이고 유지보수가 쉽도록 전환하는 과정이며, 소프트웨어의 재사용성을 높여주고 유연성을 제공해 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 AODV의 성능 개선을 위한 알고리즘 적용이 보다 유연해지도록 AODV 관련 클래스들에 대해 리팩토링을 수행한다.

The sensor nodes on the sensor network transmit the reply for the queries of ADV(Advertisement) message from sink node, and the sink node presents the received information to users. To find the relevant sensor nodes, routing algorithms disseminates ADV messages to the whole network. Thus not only the relevant sensor nodes but also the irrelevant ones consume considerable amount of energy. To alleviate such kind of energy consumption, this thesis proposes a new routing algorithm and coins it Directed Messaging. It propagates ADV message only to the limited direction and changes the direction until the requested sensor node is found. In this way, Directed Messaging reduces unnecessary energy consumption and enhance the efficiency of the networks. Performance of the Directed Messaging algorithm is evaluated through simulation and compared with Directed Diffusion algorithm. Simulation results show that it has better performance than Directed Diffusion.

MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc Network)s have been researched primary at routing protocols and at the guarantees of QoS(Quality of Service) for mobile environments. Otherwise the Ubiquitous Sensor Networks (USNs) have some limitations in power energies and in processing of sensing data, as well as their network topologies are frequently changed by fading off and node failures. Thus we should redesign network protocols with concerning to energy efficiency for the USNs above all. In this paper, we focus on the protocol interface for managing for USNs based on the surveys. And then we figure the topology of USNs out and design the network protocol interface to make power saved, with data gathering and processing more efficient using our designed packet structures.

It is easy to implement a temporary network with a mobile ad-hoc network in which mobile nodes have without using a infrastructure network. They depend on their limited power. Recently, it is a hot issue to save the energy in a mobile ad-hoc network because a mobile nodes have a limited energy. Research of IEEE 802.11 PSM was proposed in a single hop ad-hoc assumption. If IEEE 802.11 PSM is applied to multi hop ad-hoc network, non-optimal paths will be generated by the mobile nodes which didn't receive a message of routing request. Non-optimal paths increase not only a network latency but also energy consumption of mobile nodes. Reconfiguring algorithm of non-optimal paths caused by the mobile nodes which didn't receive a message of routing request is proposed in this paper. A mobile node can overhear the data in his range. A wireless medium is shared by all mobile nodes using the same bandwidth. All mobile nodes lookout the non-optimal paths with these properties of a medium, if non-optimal path is generated, optimal reconfiguring will be accomplished by modifying routing table of itself or sending a request message of routing update to nearby nodes. By reconfiguring the non-optimal paths to optimized ones, network latency and energy consumption was decreased. It is confirmed to ignore the overhead caused by a algorithm presented in this paper through the result of the simulation.

Sensors have a function to gather environment-related information operating by small-size battery in sensor networks. The issue related with energy is still an important in spite of the recent advancements in micro-electro-mechanical-system(MEMS) related techology. Generally it is assumed that replacement or rechargement of battery power in sensor is not feasible and a message send operation may spend at least 1000 times battery than a local operation. Thus, there have been several kinds of research efforts to lessen the number of unnecessary messages by maintaining the information of the other neighboring(or all) sensors. In this paper, we propose an index structure based on parent-children relationship to the purpose. Namely, parent node gathers the set of location information and MBA per child. It's named PH and may allow to process the range query with higher accurate and small size information. Through extensive experiments, we show that our index structure has better energy consumption.

With the relaxation of regulations on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the USA, the development of related industries is expected. Hence, it is anticipated that the number the UAVs will reach approximately 600,000 in the USA in 2017. However, automated flights of commercial UAVs are restricted owing to concerns about accidents. To deal with the possibility of collisions, several studies on collision prevention and the routing of UAVs have been conducted. However, these studies do not deal with various situations dynamically or provide efficient solutions. Therefore, we propose a centralized routing method for the UAV that uses vehicular networks. In the proposed scheme, vehicular networks regard UAVs as data packets to be routed. Accordingly, the proposed method reduces UAV processing power required for route searches. In addition, the routing efficiency for UAV flight paths can be improved since congestion can be minimized by using a vehicular network.

The reliability of wireless body area networks is an important research issue since it may jeopardize the vital human life, unless managed properly. In this article, a new modeling and analysis of node misbehaviors in wireless body area networks is presented, in the presence of multi-type failures. First, the nodes are classified into types in accordance with routing capability. Then, the node behavior in the presence of failures such as energy exhaustion and/or malicious attacks has been modeled using a novel Semi-Markov process. The proposed model is very useful in analyzing reliability of WBANs in the presence of multi-type failures.

The necessity of wireless sensor networks is increasing in the recent years. So many researches are studied in wireless sensor networks. The clustering algorithm provides an effective way to prolong the lifetime of the wireless sensor networks. The one-hop routing of LEACH algorithm is an inefficient way in the energy consumption of cluster-head, because it transmits a data to the BS(Base Station) with one-hop. On the other hand, other clustering algorithms transmit data to the BS with multi-hop, because the multi-hop transmission is an effective way. But the multi-hop routing of other clustering algorithms which transmits data to BS with multi-hop have a data bottleneck state problem. The unequal clustering algorithm solved a data bottleneck state problem by increasing the routing path. Most of the unequal clustering algorithms partition the nodes into clusters of unequal size, and clusters closer to the BS have small-size the those farther away from the BS. However, the energy consumption of cluster-head in unequal clustering algorithm is more increased than other clustering algorithms. In the thesis, I propose an energy efficient unequal clustering algorithm which decreases the energy consumption of cluster-head and solves the data bottleneck state problem. The basic idea is divided a three part. First of all I provide that the election of appropriate cluster-head. Next, I offer that the decision of cluster-size which consider the distance from the BS, the energy state of node and the number of neighborhood node. Finally, I provide that the election of assistant node which the transmit function substituted for cluster-head. As a result, the energy consumption of cluster-head is minimized, and the energy consumption of total network is minimized.

Recently, there are tendency that wireless sensor network is one of the important techniques for the future IT industry and thereby application areas in it are getting growing. Researches based on the hierarchical network topology are evaluated in good at energy efficiency in related protocols for wireless sensor network. LEACH is the best well known routing protocol for the hierarchical topology. However, there are problems in the range of message broadcasting, which should be expand into the overall network coverage, in LEACH related protocols. Thereby, this paper proposes a new clustering scheme to solve the co-shared problems in them. The basic idea of our scheme is using the inherent memory restrictions in sensor nodes. The results show that the proposed scheme could support the load balancing by distributing the clusters with a reasonable number of member nodes and thereby the network life time would be extended in about 1.8 times longer than LEACH.
