This paper proposes a system architecture for USN with a service robot to provide more active assisted living services for elderly persons by monitoring their mental and physical well-being with USN environments at home, hospital, or silver town. Sensors embedded in USN are used to detect preventive measures for chronic disease. Logged data are transferred to main controller of a service robot via wireless channel in which the analysis of data is performed. For the purpose of handling emergency situations, it needs real-time processing on gathering variety sensor data, routing algorithms for sensor nodes to a moving sink node and processing of logged data. This paper realized multi-hop sensor network to detect user movements with biometric data transmission and performed algorithms on Xenomai, a real-time embedded Linux. To leverage active sensing, a mobile robot is used of which task was implemented with a priority to process urgent data came from the sink-node. This software architecture is anticipated to integrate sensing, communication and computing with real-time manner. In order to verify the usefulness of a proposed system, the performance of data transferring and processing on a real-time OS with non real-time OS is also evaluated.

Recently demands in construction of the stand-alone networks and interconnection between convergence devices have led an increase in research on and much attention has been paid to the application of MANET as a Ubiquitous network which is growing fast. With performance both as hosts and routers, easy network configuration, and fast response, mobile nodes participating in MANET are suitable for Embedded computing, but have vulnerable points, such as lack of network scalability and dynamic network topology due to mobility, passive attacks, active attacks, which make continuous security service impossible. In this study, hashed AODV routing is used to protect from counterfeiting messages by malicious nodes in the course of path finding and setting, and disguising misrouted messages as different mobile nodes and inputting them into the network.

Zigbee 센서 네트워크에서는 multihop 전송을 위하여 tree topology와 beacon-enabled 네트워크 구성을 갖는다. 이러한 multihop beaconing 네트워크의 목적은 routing 노드들에게 Sleep할 기회를 주어 파워의 소모를 줄이고자 하는 데 있다. 파워의 소모를 줄이고 beacon 전송시의 충돌을 방지하기 위하여 beacon 전송 스케줄링이 필요한데 본 논문은 multihop을 지원하고 에너지 효율에 효과적인 beacon 전송 스케줄링 알고리즘과 이를 바탕으로 에너지 효율적인 라우팅 기법을 제안한다. 본 제안은 Zigbee coordinator의 beacon interval(BI)이 결정되면 네트워크 내의 beacon을 전송하는 모든 노드들은 Zigbee coordinator의 BI를 알고 모든 노드의 superframe duration(SD)은 동일하다고 가정한다. 이러한 가정하에서 beacon을 전송하는 노드들이 Zigbee coordinator의 BI 구간 중 항상 정해진 시간에 자신의 beacon을 전송한다면 beacon의 충돌을 막을 수 있음을 보여 준다. 또한 노드들이 서로의 beacon 전송 시간을 알 수 있기 때문에 목적지 노드의 beacon을 tracking하지 않고도 목적지 노드가 active 되는 시점에 패킷을 전송하면 에너지 측면에서 좀 더 효율적인 라우팅 기반을 제공한다는 것을 보여 준다.

In past few years, distributed hash table (DHT)-based P2P systems have been proven to be a promising way to manage decentralized index information and provide efficient lookup services. However, the skewness of users' preferences regarding keywords contained in a multi-keyword query causes a query load imbalance that combines both routing and response load. This imbalance means long file retrieval latency that negatively influences the overall system performance. Although index replication has a great potential for alleviating this problem, existing schemes did not explicitly address it or incurred high cost. To overcome this issue, we propose, in this paper, an integrated solution that consists of three replication schemes to alleviate query load imbalance while minimizing the cost. The first scheme is an active index replication that is used in order to decrease routing load in the system and to distribute response load of an index among peers that store replicas of the index. The second scheme is a proactive pointer replication that places location information of each index to a predetermined number of peers for reducing maintenance cost between the index and its replicas. The third scheme is a passive index replication that guarantees the maximum query load of peers. The result of simulations indicates that the proposed schemes can help alleviate the query load imbalance of peers. Moreover, it was found by comparison that our schemes are more cost-effective on placing replicas than PCache and EAD.

Recently, a range of diverse networks are undergoing speedy evolution and inspiring variety applications. Among many networks, mobile Ad-Hoc networks (MANETs) are active working with a part of routing protocols. But, the majority of routing protocols have required a unique identifier, such as an IP address. At this while, IP address assignment scheme in MANET remains unsolved. When a centralized agent server is not exist, IP address is an critical issue such as a single MANET. This paper look over previous work about basic principles, also we suggest simple solution to overcome the power of two ($2^m$).

In a switch routing system, buffers are indispensible to prevent signal collision during routing process. For a photonic switching system, optical buffers are also indispensible if the system requires an active routing rather than a simple optical cross-connect(OXC). To cope with WDM technologies in optical comminication systems in these days, photonic switching system also has to deal with WDM signals. Therefore, optical buffers needed in a switching system has to be routed to the same output. For the receiver to recognize these signals separately, parallel WDM signals during rearrangement process. In this paper, we propose a novel all optical WDM output buffer whose structure, hardware, SNR and BER characteristics are improved a lot comparing with those of previously reported ones. From the analysis of the proposed buffer, the new buffer can hold 255 WDM cells keeping BER of 10-9 as long as a contrast ratio(gain on-off ratio) of optical gate(semiconductor optical amplifier) nside the buffer is 30dB.

무선 센서 네트워크의 규모가 커짐에 따라 대규모의 센서 네트워크의 활용에 대한 기대가 커지고 있다. 기존 IEEE 802.15.4 를 이용한 네트워크의 규모에 따른 한계를 극복하기 위해 듀얼 라디오 센서 네트워크에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 듀얼 라디오 센서 네트워크는 단일 라디오를 내장한 전통적인 센서 노드(싱글 라디오 노드)에 듀얼 라디오 인터페이스(IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.15.4)를 내장한 센서(듀얼 라디오 노드)를 포함하여 클러스터를 구성한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 듀얼 라디오 환경에서 효과적으로 동작하는 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다. 듀얼 라디오 노드는 네트워크 상에서 클러스터 헤드 역할을 하고 상위 계층을 이루며, 일반 노드는 클러스터 멤버 역할을 하는 하위 계층을 이룬다. 본 논문에서는 각 계층의 네트워크가 나타내는 특징을 이동성이 적거나 높은 네트워크의 특징으로 대입하여, 상위 계층에는 Pro-Active 프로토콜, 하위 계층에는 Re-active 프로토콜이 효과적임을 설명한다. 이를 바탕으로 듀얼 라디오 센서 네트워크에 적합한 라우팅 프로토콜로써 Pro-Active 프로토콜을 대표하는 DSDV 와 Re-Active 프로토콜을 대표하는 AODV 를 조합한 하이브리드 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안한 프로토콜의 성능을 확인하기 위해 센서네트워크 테스트베드를 구성하여 라우팅 복구 시간과 패킷 전송 안정성에 대한 성능을 입증한다.

An Optical Network-on-Chip(ONoC) based on silicon photonics is one of promising technology for next generation exascale computing architectures. Recent active researches on ONoC focus on improving bandwidth further and avoiding path collisions by using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). However, the number of wavelengths used for the WDM increases linearly as the number of Processing Element (PE) increases in existing ONoCs which adopt centralized routing architecture. The problem will also arises growing cost of optical devices such as light switches and light sources and limits the scalability of ONoC due to the sinal loss caused by interference of distinct light sources. In this paper, we proposes a distributed routing architecture for ONoC which is based on 2D-mesh structure using WDM technique and present a method that minimize the required number of wavelengths exploiting the connectivity of communication. In comparison with existing centralized routing architectures, results show reduction by 56% of the number of wavelengths and 21% of the number of optical switches in $8{\times}8$ networks.

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically self-organizing in arbitrary and temporary network topologies without the use of any existing network infrastructure. The AODV (Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector) Protocol is one of the typical reactive routing protocols, in that mobile nodes initiate routing activities only in the presence of data packets in need of a route. In this paper, we focus upon the local repair mechanism of AODV. When a link is broken, the upstream node of the broken link repairs the route to the destination by initiating a local route discovery process. The process involves the flooding of AODV control messages in every node within a radius of the length from the initiating node to the destination. In this paper, we propose an efficient local repair scheme for AODV called AFLRS (AODV-based Fast Local Repair Scheme). AFLRS utilizes the existing routing information in the intermediate nodes which have been on the active route to the destination before a link break occurs. AFLRS can reduce the flooding range of AODV control messages and the route recovery time because it can repair route through the intermediate nodes. For the performance evaluation of the proposed AFLRS, we have simulated the local repair mechanisms by using NS2 and AODV-UU. The performance results show that AFLRS can achieve faster route recovery than the local repair mechanism of AODV.
