Differentiated services (DiffServ) has been widely accepted as the service model to adopt for providing quality-of­service (QoS) over the next-generation IP networks. There is a growing need to support QoS in mobile ad hoc networks. Supporting DiffServ in mobile ad hoc networks, however, is very difficult because of the dynamic nature of mobile ad hoc networks, which causes network congestion. The network congestion induces long transfer packet delay and low throughput which make it very difficult to support QoS in mobile ad hoc networks. We propose DiffServ module to support differentiated service in mobile ad hoc networks through congestion control. Our DiffServ module uses the periodical rate control for real time traffic and also uses the best effort bandwidth concession when network congestion occurs. Network congestion is detected by measuring the packet transfer delay or bandwidth threshold of real time traffic. We evaluate our mechanism via a simulation study. Simulation results show our mechanism may offer a low and stable delay and a stable throughput for real time traffic in mobile ad hoc networks.

There have been lots of researches on the optimal relay selection in relay-based systems. However, most researches have been focused on the maximization of transmission capacity with a constraint of sum power at both transmitter and relays. In Ad-hoc networks where relays have batteries of limited power, it is imperative to minimize the energy consumption while maintaining the required quality-of-service (QoS). In this paper, we propose an optimal relay selection strategy to minimize the relay power consumption while satisfying the required signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Through intensive simulations, we show the proposed method is more effective in terms of energy consumption and guarantee lower transmission failure probability in multi-hop Ad-hoc environments.

A wireless ad-hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any centralized adminstration or standard support services. Wireless ad-hoc networks may be quite useful in that they can be instantly deployable and resilient to change. In this environment, for many crucial distributed applications, it is necessary to design robust virtual infrastructures that are fault-tolerant, self-stabilized, and resource-efficient. For this task this paper proposes a scheme of maintaining robust spanning trees which are little affected by topological changes. By maintaining such a spanning tree and adapting it to the environments with frequent topological changes, one can improve the reliability and efficiency of many applications that use the spanning tree.

Ad hoc wireless networks involving large populations of scattered communication nodes will play a key role in the development of low power, high capacity, interactive, multimedia communication networks. Such networks must support arbitrary network connections and provide coverage anywhere and anytime. This paper partitions such arbitrarily connected network architectures into three distinct groups, identifies the associated dual network architectures and counts the number of network architectures assuming there exist N network nodes. Connectivity between network nodes is characterized as a random event. Defining the link availability P as the probability that two arbitrary network nodes in an ad hoc network are directly connected, the network connection probability $ \integral_n$(p) that any two network nodes will be directly or indirectly connected is derived. The network connection probability $ \integral_n$(p) is evaluated and graphically demonstrated as a function of p and N. It is shown that ad hoc wireless networks containing a large number of network nodes possesses the same network connectivity performance as does a fixed network, i.e., for p>0, $lim_{N\to\infty} Integral_n(p)$ = 1. Furthermore, by cooperating with fixed networks, the ad hoc network connection probability is used to derive the global network connection probability for hybrid networks. These probabilities serve to characterize network connectivity performance for users of wireless ad hoc and hybrid networks, e.g., IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15, IEEE 1394-95, ETSI BRAN HIPERLAN, Bluetooth, wireless ATM and the world wide web (WWW).

A leader is a special process who roles as the coordinator within multiple processes of a group. In a distributed system, leader election is the procedure of electing a coordinator. This is a very important issue for building fault-tolerant distributed systems. When two normal mobile ad hoc networks are merged, there are two leaders. This violates the safety property, so a mechanism to detect and handle are required. In mobile ad hoc distributed computing system, we propose a leader competition protocol and to prove the temporal logic to it. This solution is based on the group membership detection algorithm.

향후 세상의 모습을 그려볼 때 흔히들 유비쿼터스 시대를 언급한다. 이를 위해서는 다양한 서비스 공급자들과 사용자들이 서로 네트워크로 묶여 있어야 하며, 이때의 네트워크는 선이 없는 무선 환경이고, 국소 지역을 커버하는 Ad-hoc망이 기본 네트워크 망이 될 것이다. 이러한 네트워크로 이루어진 다양한 장소, 임의의 시간에 존재하는 다수의 서비스들 중에서 원하는 서비스를 찾는 일을 service discovery라고 하며, 이를 위해서 기존의 wired 망에서는 네트워크 계층 위에서 이를 수행하는 작업이 이루어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 service discovery 실행을 별도의 에이전트나 응용 레벨에 두지 않고, 이를 Ad-hoc 라우팅 계층에서 수행 함으로써 오버헤드 트래픽이 줄어들고, 응답 시간이 짧아지는 성능 향상이 있음을 제시하고 있다. E한 동적/부분 caching 기법에 대해서도 제시하고 있다. 아울러 다양한 사용자의 기호(User Preference)를 표현하고, 이를 바탕으로 서비스를 검색하기 위한 새로운 서비스 표현/검색 모델을 제시하였다. 실제로 이러한 service discovery 기능을 Ad-hoc 라우팅 계층에서 처리하도록 하는 Ad-hoc 라우팅 데몬을 구현하고, 테스트 베드를 구축하여 동작 시킴으로써 실제 상황에서도 얼마나 효율적인가를 구체적으로 제시하고 있다.

Location management is difficult in ad hoc networks due to many features such as the lack of a wired infrastructure, the scarce energy, memory and processing capabilities of nodes, and nodes’ movement which leads to a dynamic topology. These characteristics make the location management schemes designed for mobile cellular networks inefficient for ad hoc networks. New solutions for location management have therefore been proposed in the literature in the recent past. In this paper, a taxonomy of location management strategies is presented; some of the more interesting approaches proposed in the literature are critically discussed, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages.

본 고는 Ad-hoc 네트워크에서의 IPv6 자동네트워킹 기술의 개념과 본 연구팀의 개발 현황에 대해 소개한다. 이 기술을 통해 Ad-hoc 네트워크에 위치하는 이동 노드는 네트워킹에 필요한 네트워크 인터페이스 IPv6 주소 설정 및 DNS 운영을 자동화할 수 있다. 여기서, DNS 운영의 자동화는 DNS 서버가 존재하지 않는 환경을 전재한다. 또한, 이동 노드는 멀티캐스트 응용을 위한 멀티캐스트 주소도 자동으로 할당할 수 있으며, 특정 서비스를 제공하는 응용들의 위치탐색도 가능하다. 이와 같은 기능들을 이용하면, Ad-hoc 환경에서 다양한 네트워크 서비스를 운영할 수 있게 된다.

Ad-hoc 네트워크에서의 라우팅 프로토콜은 현재 사용중인 경로가 혼잡하다 하더라도 네트워크 토폴로지가 변하기 이전에는 새로운 경로를 설정하지 못하므로, 노드의 이동성이 낮은 환경에서는 트래픽의 집중 현상이 심화된다. 이동 기기들은 그 성능과 배터리에 한계가 있기 때문에 일부 소수 노드들에게 트래픽 집중되는 경우 다른 노드들에 대한 데이터 중계 서비스를 제공하는데 자신의 자원 대부분을 낭비하도록 강요받게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서 혼잡 상태의 노드는 더 이상의 데이터 패킷 중계를 포기하고 이를 해당 소스에게 알림으로써 소스가 새로운 우회경로를 설정하도록 하여 트래픽의 집중 현상을 완화시키는 새로운 프로토콜인 SLAP(Simple Load-balanced Ad-hoc routing Protocol)을 제안한다.
