Many routing protocols have been proposed for low-power and ad-hoc networks to deliver command or data among nodes and recently, various researches are carried out about networking scheme considering reliability and scalability.

Many routing protocols have been proposed for low-power and ad-hoc networks where energy awareness and reliability are essential design issues. This paper proposes a dynamic routing protocol for low-power and ad-hoc networks. A dynamic path cost function is defined considering the constraints and characteristics of low-power and ad-hoc networks. The cost function can be applied flexibly depending on the characteristics of the networks. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using a QualNet network simulator.

센서 기술과 통신 기술의 발달로 센서 네트워크에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 센서 노드는 주변환경을 관찰하고 그 결과를 센서 노드로 이루어진 네트워크를 통하여 사용자에게 전달한다. 센서 네트워크는 특정 기반 구조 없이 수행되어야 하기 때문에 데이터의 전달이 애드혹 네트워크에서의 라우팅 기법과 비슷하다. 하지만 센서 노드는 배터리 전력량에 의하여 수명이 결정되기 때문에 전력 소비를 줄이는 것이 매우 중요한 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 센서 노드의 위치에 따라 통신 상태를 유휴(idle) 상태에서 정지(sleep)상태로 변경하는 방법으로 전력 소비를 줄이는 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다.

Wireless ad hoc network composed of low power devices has been operated in ISM bands. However, with the growing proliferation of wireless services, these bands are increasingly getting congested. In order to relieve the spectrum scarcity and inefficient spectrum utilization, ad ho cognitive radio was proposed. In this paper we propose the efficient spectrum sensing method to reduce power consumption and detect white space in ad hoc cognitive radio system. The wireless channel between a licensed user and CR systems is modeled as Gaussian channel, the distance between a licensed user and CR systems is assumed differently. Also, the wireless channel among CR systems is assumed as the perfect channel and the distance among CR systems is assumed close distance. CR systems sense the spectrum of the licensed user by using a energy detection method. From the simulation results, spectrum sensing performance of combining sensing result of CR systems with high received energy shows higher than combining sensing result of all CR systems and we can refer to the proposed sensing method in order to perform effective spectrum sensing with low power consumption.

This paper deals with monitoring sensor robot control system for the application of wireless sensor network. In order to control the direction and speed of robot via remote sensing environment, low power, low weight sensors with ad-hoc networking between robots' sensors have been used. These wireless sensor network based robot monitoring system can be used for remote observation and detection of robots in the areas such as factories, power plants and other dangerous areas which are difficult for human access.

A simple, accurate, secure, long-lasting, and portable hybrid positioning system is proposed and designed in this paper. It consists of a lighting LED that generates visible light data corresponding to position information of a target and a Zigbee wireless network communication module with low power, security, and service area expansion characteristics. Under an indoor environment where there is 23.62m distance between an observer and the target, the presented hybrid positioning system is tested and is verified with the functions of Zigbee three hop wireless networking and visible light communication (VLC) scheme. The test results are analyzed and discussed.

Recently, various infrastructure-less IoT networking schemes have been studied to construct local IoT networks based on self-organization. This is, because RPL protocol, which is to support infrastructure based network construction is used to construct local IoT networks. Thus, a self-organization networking and ad hoc path between client and server in local IoT networks is not supported in basis RPL protocol. In this paper, we propose a self-organization networking scheme which support infrastructure-less based IoT network construction in low-power and lossy network based IoT environments consisting of IoT devices with the constrained feature, such as low power, the limited transmission rate and low computing capacity. Through simulation, we show that the proposed self-organization networking scheme improves the performance, in terms of the number of packets generated for end-to end data transmission and the end-to-end delay, compared to basis RPL protocol.

Sensors and a small database server are placed in the house of participant, which collects and stores some environment conditions of the house. The small servers are connected to each others by wireless ad-hoc network.

This paper proposes a stochastic/dynamic routing protocol which aims the minimization of the summation of time average expected power expenditure with buffer stability in mobile ad-hoc 60 GHz wireless networks. By using 60 GHz RF, the wireless devices can transmit/receive 1080p HD video signals without compression. In addition, our algorithm works without centralized controller, so that the distributed operation is available. The novelty of the proposed algorithm was also verified by simulations.

To solve the shortage of radio spectrum and utilize spectrum resource more efficiently, cognitive radio technologies are proposed, and many studies on cognitive radio have been conducted. Multi-hop routing is one of the important technologies to enable the nodes to transmit data further with lower power in ad-hoc cognitive radio networks. In a multi-channel cognitive radio networks, each channel should be allocated to minimize interference to primary users. In the multi-hop routing, channel allocation should consider the inter-channel interference to maximize network throughput. In this paper, we propose multi-channel scheduling scheme which minimizes inter-channel interferences and avoids collision with primary users for the multi-hop multi-channel cognitive radio networks. The proposed scheduling is designed to determine both of routing path and channel selection. The performance of proposed channel allocation scheme is evaluated by the computer simulation in the aspect of capacity and collision rate.
