애드 혹 네트웍(Ad Hoc Networks)은 유선 기반 망을 배제한 완전한 모바일 네트웍이다. 이동성이 큰 애드 혹 네트웍 노드간에는 경로 설정을 위해서 주기적으로 라우팅 패킷이 전송된다. 라우팅 방법은 소스 전송 요구에 따른 요구 기반 라우팅과 주기적으로 라우팅 테이블을 갱신하는 테이블 기반 라우팅으로 나누어진다. 또한, 이 두가지 방법을 혼합한 라우팅을 사용할 수 있는데, 기존의 연구에서 동등한 노드의 자원과 역할을 가정하기 때문에, 실제 네트웍에 적용하는데 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 클러스터를 이용한 라우팅 방법을 제안한다. 단순한 클러스터를 이용한 노드 관리는 클러스터 구성에 따른 관리 오버헤드가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 클러스터 구성 노드의 적정 수준을 유지하고, 전파 자원이 충분한 글러스터 선출 방법을 제안함으로써, 네트웍 전체의 관리 오버헤드를 줄일 수 있다. 시뮬레이션은 NS2 [12]를 이용하여, 시뮬레이션 시간동안 노드가 잔여 전력에 따라 클러스터 멤버의 수와 Hello Packet 의 주기를 변화 시킴으로써 노드의 생존성을 보장하고, 최적을 클러스터 구성할 수 있는 노드 수를 측정하였다.

Situation awareness for vehicles and pedestrians is very critical to ensure safety. While on-board sensors or systems can easily detect line-of-sight pedestrians, it is difficult to locate the positions of out-of-sight pedestrians especially with no GPS service. This paper proposes a method for accurate and on-time localization of indoor pedestrians by nearby vehicles. The proposed method is based on mobile ad-hoc networks among vehicles and pedestrians, without relying on infrastructures such as GPS, WiFi AP, and Bluetooth-based systems. Also, this paper develops a genetic algorithm to accurately and promptly locate pedestrians. Finally, simulation results are presented to quantitatively evaluate the proposed method compared to other studies.

최근 모바일 컴퓨팅 기술이 급격이 발전하면서, 이동 애드-혹 네트워크(Mobile Ad-Hoc Network, MANET)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 대다수의 MANET에 관한 연구는 하나의 MANET 내에서 이루어지는 라우팅 방법이나 에너지 관리에 대한 것으로 MANET 내에서 검색에 실패 했을 경우에 대한 해결 방법은 없는 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 하나의 MANET에서 검색에 실패한 경우에 기반망인 무선 AP를 이용하여 또 다른 MANET으로 연결하고 정보를 검색 할 수 있도록 탐색범위 확장을 위한 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 보다 넓은 범위에서 필요로 하는 정보를 가진 단말을 탐색할 수 있게 함으로써 MANET에서의 검색 성공률을 높일 수 있다.

자동차를 기반으로 한 애드혹 환경에서는 자동차의 움직임 패턴 특성을 고려하여 모빌리티 모델을 구축하여 시물레이션을 해야 한다. 일반적으로 사용되는 랜덤 웨이포인트 모빌리티 모델[7] 및 그룹 모빌리티 모델[2]은 자동차 특성의 움직임 패턴을 보여주지 못한다. 또한 Freeway 모빌리티 모델 및 맨하탄 모빌리티 모델[4]도 애드혹 망에 대한 전체적인 성능평가를 분석하기 용이하지만 자동차 그룹의 움직임 및 그룹내에서의 성능 평가를 분석하기에는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 Freeway 모빌리티 모델을 이용하여 그룹의 이동 시나리오를 제시하고 그룹내에서의 통신시 고려되어야할 점 즉, 컨트롤 오버헤드 및 라우팅 경로의 발견등에 관하여 옵넷 시물레이터를 이용하여 분석하였다.

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET) consist of mobile nodes which are usually powered by battery Approaches for minimizing power consumption have been proposed for all network layers and devices. IEEE 802.11 DCF (Distributed Coordination Function), a well-known medium access control protocol for MANETS, also defines a power save mode operation. The nodes in power save mode periodically repeat the awake state and the doze state in synchronized fashion. When all nodes are in the awake state, the exchange the announcements for the subsequent message transmission with neighbors. The nodes that send or receive the announcements stay awake for data transmission, and others go into the dole state. The previous works for enhancing the power save mode operation have focused on shortening the duration of the awake state. We observed that the longer sleeping period results in seriously long delivery latency and the consequent unnecessary power consumption as well, because the packets can move forward only one hop for a fixed interval. In this paper, we propose an improved protocol for the power save mode of IEEE 802.11 DCF, which allows the flooding packets to be forwarded several hops in a transmission period. Our approach does not reduce the duration of compulsory awake period, but maximizes its utilization. Each node propagates the announcements for next flooding to nodes of several hops away, thus the packets can travel multiple hops during one interval. Simulation results of comparison between our scheme and the standard show a reduction in flooding delay maximum 80%, and the unicasting latency with accompanying flooding flows near 50%, with slight increase of energy consumption.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) allow mobile nodes to communicate among themselves via wireless multiple hops without the help of the wired infrastructure. Therefore, in the MANET, a route setup mechanism that makes nodes not within each other's transmission range communicate is required and, for this, the Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) was proposed as one of the reactive routing protocols well suited for the characteristics of the MANET. AODV uses the hop count as the routing metric and, as a result, a node selects the farthest neighbor node as its next hop on a route, which results in a problem of deteriorating the overall network throughput because of selecting a relatively low data rate route. In this paper, we propose an efficient reactive routing protocol based on the multi-rate aware MAC. Through the simulations, we analyze the performance of our proposed mechanism and, from the simulation results, we show that our proposed mechanism outperforms the existing mechanism.

TCP is needed as a transport protocol to provide reliable end-to-end message delivery for MANETs in order to achieve a smooth integration with the fixed Internet. Particularly, TCP has its variants, namely TCP-Reno and TCP-Vegas. However, there has been no research work on extensive performance comparison of TCP-Reno and TCP-Vegas over AODV and OLSR. This paper is the first trial to perform the research by using ns-2 simulator. Through the extensive simulations, we found that which to select among routing protocols is more important than which to select among TCP variants, because the performance difference between TCP-Reno and TCP-Vegas over uy selected routing protocol is not so much outstanding. Particularly, TCP-Vegas relies on an accurate BaseRTT estimation in order to decide the sending rate of a TCP Sender. However, it cannot be directly applied to MANET because a route change makes the Base an used over a Previous Path obsolete. Therefore, we propose a technique for improving the performance of TCP-Vegas by considering the route change, and show the performance improvement through simulation study.

This paper proposes a new protocol to enhance the routing performance and applies our proposal to AODV (Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing) protocol, which is a typical on-demand routing protocol in MANET. In general, when a route repair procedure is performed due to the transfer or failure of a node, the source node re-initiate a route discovery procedure in most routing protocols of MANET. This causes to increase the control traffic overhead largely and degrade the routing performance. The main idea of our study is to provide a methodology that can minimize the control traffic overhead and enhance the performance by initiating a route repair procedure at destination node and utilizing the previous routing information maximumly. To evaluate the performance of the our mechanism, we have performed a series of simulations. The simulations include comparisons with AODV and AODV with local repair. The simulations have been executed under simulation environments taking into account mobility speed and network site. The simulation results show that our proposal overall outperforms the existing protocols.

With the rapid growth of recent wireless mobile computing application technology and handheld mobile terminal device development technology, one of the big issue in these fields is to design online games in wireless mobile ad hoc network environment. Online games in mobile computing environment have lots of constraints for developing online games because mobile terminals have many limitations such as low performance of processor, limited memory space, small bandwidth of wireless communication, and confined life of battery power. Therefore, most of mobile games are restrictive in the function of online and multi-play up to date. In this paper, the online MMORPG game, capable of multi-play with many other mobile users using mobile terminals in wireless mobile computing environment, is designed and implemented. Proposed mobile online game uses bluetooth to construct temporary wireless mobile ad hoc network with other mobile clients, and designed to carry out online MMORPG game with these clients. It also supports multi-play among them.

Currently, as the requirement for high quality Internet access from anywhere at anytime is consistently increasing, the interconnection of pure ad hoc networks to fixed IP networks becomes increasingly important. Such integrated network, referred to as hybrid ad hoc networks, can be extended to many applications, including Sensor Networks, Home Networks, Telematics, and so on. We focus on some data communication problems of hybrid ad hoc networks, such as broadcasting and routing. In particular. power failure of mobile terminals is the most important factor since it affects the overall network lifetime. We propose an energy-efficient routing protocol based on clustering for hybrid ad hoc networks. By applying the index-based data broadcasting and selective tuning methods, the infra system performs the major operations related to clustering and routing on behalf of ad hoc nodes. The proposed scheme reduces power consumption as well as the cost of path discovery and maintenance, and the delay required to configure the route.
