In multihop cellular network environments, the mobility of nodes is a major obstacle to find a reliable routing path between a mobile node (MN) and the access node (AN). Therefore, in this paper, we propose a fast and reliable neighbor discovery protocol that enables the fast and reliable neighbor discovery by considering the node mobility in the multihop cellular network. The proposed neighbor discovery protocol inhibits the transmission of unnecessary control messages to quickly find a suitable neighbor node (NN) and performs a priority-based access control to transmit control messages without collision in the order of NN desirable to be selected. Simulation results show that the proposed neighbor discovery protocol can discover the NNs faster than the conventional scheme and select a more reliable relay node although the number of neighbor nodes increases and the node mobility increases.

Neighbor Discovery(ND) protocol is used to exchange an information of the neighboring nodes on the same link in the IPv6 protocol environment. For protecting the ND protocol, firstly utilizing Authentication Header(AH) of the IPsec protocol was proposed. But the method has some problems-uses of key exchange protocol is not available and it is hard to distribute manual keys. And then secondly the SEcure Neighbor Discovery(SEND) protocol which protects all of the ND message with digital signature was proposed. However, the digital signature technology on the basis of public key cryptography system is commonly known as requiring high cost, therefore it is expected that there is performance degradation in terms of the availability. In the paper, to improve performance of the SEND protocol, we proposed a modified CGA(Cryptographically Generated Address) which is made by additionally adding MAC(Media Access Control) address to the input of the hash function. Also, we proposed cache mechanism. We compared performance of the methods by experimentation.

In this paper, we propose a new method to improve the performance of a Quorum-based NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks. It creates a new set of discovery schedules by combining two different Quorum-based matrices. The original Quorum-based schedule guarantees only two overlapping active slots with a cycle, but the newly created matrix greatly increases the chance of neighbor discovery. Therefore, although the size of the combined matrix of the proposed method increases, the number of discovery chances with neighboring nodes considerably increases, and the new approach is superior to the original Quorum-based neighbor node discovery protocol. In this study, we compares the performance of the proposed method to the Quorum-based protocols such as SearchLight and Hedis using TOSSIM. We assume all sensor nodes operates in a different duty cycle in the experiment. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to other Quorum-based methods.

In this paper, we propose an efficient routing protocol to achieve an optimal route searching process of the network lifetime by balancing power consumption per node. The proposed protocols aim at finding energy-efficient paths at low protocol power. In our protocol, each intermediate node keeps power level and branch number of child nodes and it transmits the data the nearest neighbor node. Our protocol may minimize the energy consumption at each node, thus prolong the lifetime of the system regardless of the location of the sink outside or inside the cluster. In the proposed protocol for inter-cluster communication, a cluster head chooses a relay node from its adjacent cluster heads according to the node's residual energy and its distance to the base station. Simulation results show that proposed protocol successfully balances the energy consumption over the network, and achieves a remarkable network lifetime improvement as highly as 7.5%.

A MANET is an autonomous, infrastructureless system that consists of mobile nodes. In MANET, on-demand routing protocols are usually used because network topology changes frequently. The current approach in case of broken routes is to flag an error and re-initiate route discovery either at the source or at the intermediate node. Repairing these broken links is a costly affair in terms of routing overhead and delay involved. Therefore, this paper propose a NAODV(Neighbor-aware AODV) protocol that stands on the basis of an AODV. It sets up the route rapidly if it operates for setting the route directly by using sequence number of neighbor nodes without re-search the route when the route to destination node is broken. Also, it reduces loss of packets. We use NS-2 for the computer simulation and validate that the proposed scheme is better than general AODV in terms of packet delivery ratio and average end-to-end delay. Also, when the proposed protocol is applied to the large ad-hoc network with multiple nodes, the performance is more efficient.

MANET is a dynamically reconfigurable wireless network with no fixed infrastructure (base station, or AP). In order to provide the data service in MANET, we need an efficient routing protocol to deliver the data to the wanted destination at a mobile node. A method of routing protocols called reactive routing protocol has recently got attention because of their low routing overhead. But a method of flooding broadcasts the packet to all of its neighbors. For this reason, each of the node has high routing overhead to route and keep path discovery. Accordingly in this paper, I propose an adaptive flooding scheme using N-hop look-ahead in MANET, md an optimal N value of doing flooding the packet to limited area. Because of being basically ignorant about topological changes, each of the node did not spontaneously cope with path alteration. But an efficient flooding scheme applying N-hop look-ahead is more resilient to topology changes than traditional algorithms. And also with this efficient flooding scheme, the simulation results demonstrate excellent reduction of routing overhead.

Ad Node transmits packets to a destination node using routing function of intermediate nodes on the path in Ad Hoc networks. When the link to a next hop node in a path is broken due to the next hop node's mobility, a new route search process is required for continuing packets transmission. The node which recognizes link fault starts a local route recovery or the source node starts a new route search in the on demand routing protocol AODV. In this case, the new route search or the local route search brings packet delays and bad QoSs by packet delay. We propose RPAODV that the node predicts a link fault selects a possible node in neighbor nodes as a new next hop node for the path. The proposed protocol can avoid path faults and improve QoS.

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) refer to autonomous networks in which wireless data communications are established between multiple nodes in a given coverage area without a base station or centralized administration. Because of node mobility and limited battery life, the network topology may changes frequently. Selecting the most reliable path during route discovery process is important to improve performance in ad hoc networks. In this paper, an enhanced routing protocol based on AODV(Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing) by monitoring variation of receiving signal strength is proposed. New metric function that consists of node mobility and hops of path is used for routing decision. For preventing route failure by node movement during data transmission, a new route maintenance named as LRC (Local Route Change) is presented. If the node movement is detected, the routing agent switches path to its neighbor node in LRC. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed routing scheme is superior to previous AODY protocol.

최근에 P2P(Peer-to-Peer) 시스템에서 효율적인 자원 탐색 방범에 대해 많이 연구되고 있다. P2P overlay network 중 하나인 Chord는 자원을 효율적으로 탐색할 수 있는 간단한 P2P 프로토콜이다. 대부분의 P2P 시스템은 overlay network를 형성하므로 노드와 노드 사이의 물리적인 거리를 고려하지 않으므로 서로 이웃한 노드라도 실제 물리적인 latency가 클 수 있다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이 논문은 물리적으로 가까운 노드들을 하나의 subnet으로 만들어서 물리적인 latency를 감소시키고 각 subnet안에 복사본(replica)을 둠으로써 탐색(lookup)의 효율성을 향상시킨다.

This paper proposes an on-demand ad hoc routing protocol, Node Density Based Routing (NDBR), which enhances the routing performance applying a new method to establish alternate patlis. It is important to reserve alternate paths for the route from source to destination in mobile ad hoc networks that are susceptible to failure due to the movement or the power exhaustion of mobile nodes. NDBR aims to establish a route that contains more alternate paths toward the destination by involving intermediate nodes with relatively more adjacent nodes in a possible route, and introduces a new routing criterion called 'node density.' This approach can localize the effects of route failures, and reduce control traffic overhead and route reconfiguration time by enhancing the reachability to the destination node without source-initiated route re-discoveries at route failures. This paper describes the route setup procedure using node density and the route re-configuration procedures employing alternate path information at the intermediate nodes. We show the performance of our routing schemes through a series of simulations using the Network Simulator 2 (ns-2).
