Directional antennas have been used in Ad Hoc networks, significantly improving the spatial reuse of the networks. However, the extended transmission range causes collisions at the receivers of neighbors, which prevents full exploitation of the potential of the directional antenna. In this paper, we propose a new power control MAC protocol for a directional antenna. For this protocol, we propose a method to detect a set of interference nodes in the neighbors of a receiver. We then use a power control algorithm to calculate the minimum transmission power and send data. Simulation results demonstrate that this protocol increases the network performance and reduces energy consumption.

This paper presents MAPER, a media-aware power efficient routing algorithm over mobile ad hoc networks. Generally, multimedia services need various quality of service over the network according to their characteristics and applications. But it is not easy to guarantee quality of service over mobile ad hoc networks since the resources are very limited and time-varying. Furthermore only a limited power is available at mobile nodes, which makes the problem more challenging. Now, we propose an effective routing algorithm over mobile ad hoc networks that provides the stable end-to-end quality of service with the minimum total power consumption. Finally, experimental results are provided to show the performance of the proposed algorithm.

Ad-Hoc VoIP system is an important IP phone technique used in MANET networks. In small-scale networks, VoIP system could be built easily while keeping the Qos on a acceptable level. Although Ad-Hoc VoIP system is designed as 'Client-Server' model, due to the property of MANETs that no Base Stations working as servers, we have the SIP Server with promary funtions worked on mobile terminals instead. In this paper, we explored how to build VoIP systems in MANETs and achieved the construction from within linux.

Using directional antenna in wireless network can offer many advantages including significant decrease of interference, increase of spatial reuse and possibility of improving network capacity. However, existing 802.11 MAC is designed for use of omni-directional antenna then those advantages can not be shown in that MAC protocol when it uses directional antenna. In this paper, we present a MAC protocol specifically designed for directional antenna to achieve spatial reuse and improve capacity of MAC protocol. Simulation result shows the advantages of our proposal in comparison with existing MAC in terms of end-to-end delay and network throughput.

Rapid change in network topology in high-speed VANET(: Vehicular Ad Hoc Network) is an important task for routing protocol design. Selecting the next hop relay node that affects the performance of the routing protocol is a difficult process. The disadvantages of AODV(: Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector) related to VANET are end-to-end delay and packet loss. This paper proposes the AAODV (Advanced AODV) technique to reduce the number of RREQ (: Route Request) and RREP (: Route Reply) messages by modifying the AODV routing protocol and adding direction parameters and 2-step filtering. It can be seen that the proposed AAODV reduces packet loss and minimizes the effect of direction parameters, thereby increasing packet delivery rate and reducing end-to-end delay.

Ad-hoc 네트워크란 지정된 이동성 지원 기반 시설의 도움 없이 임시 망을 구성하는 이동 호스트와 무선 인터페이스의 집합이다. Ad-hoc 네트워크는 Access Point 없이 이동성이 지원 된다는 점에서 최근 많은 각광을 받고 있으며, 현재 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 Ad-hoc 네트워크의 특징을 이용하여 소수의 관리자가 다수의 이동 가능한 관리 대상들을 효율적으로 제어하기 위한 사용자 맵핑 시스템을 설계 및 구현 한다. 본 논문에서 하드웨어적으로 직접 구현한 사용자 맵핑 시스템은 사용자 위치 정보 노드(u_LIN, User Location Information Node)라 명명된 장치들이 네트워크를 구축하고, 그 네트워크에서 하나 이상의 u_LIN이 사라지면 경고 시스템을 활성화 하여 사라진 u_LIN을 찾도록 도와주는 시스템이다. 본 논문에서 구현한 사용자 맵핑 시스템의 성능 평가 결과 u_LIN 간 1:1 통신을 직선거리에서 수행하였을 때 약 250m까지 정상적으로 통신하였으며, 1:N 통신 역시 100m 이내의 거리에서 안정적으로 정보를 주고받았다. 본 시스템은 미아 방지 시스템, 등산객 조난 방지 시스템, 유치원 아동관리 시스템, 관광 가이드의 관광객 관리 시스템 등 여러 시스템에 유연하게 적용이 가능하여 앞으로도 활용도가 높을 것으로 예상된다.

Mobile ad hoc networks represent self-configuring networks of mobile devices that communicate without relying on a fixed infrastructure. However, traditional routing protocols in such networks encounter challenges in selecting efficient and reliable routes due to dynamic nature of these networks caused by unpredictable mobility of nodes. This often results in a failure to meet the low-delay and low-energy consumption requirements crucial for such networks. In order to overcome such challenges, our paper introduces a novel multi-objective and adaptive routing scheme based on the Q-learning reinforcement learning algorithm. The proposed routing scheme dynamically adjusts itself based on measured network states, such as traffic congestion and mobility. The proposed approach utilizes Q-learning to select routes in a decentralized manner, considering factors like energy consumption, load balancing, and the selection of stable links. We present a formulation of the multi-objective optimization problem and discuss adaptive adjustments of the Q-learning parameters to handle the dynamic nature of the network. To speed up the learning process, our scheme incorporates informative shaped rewards, providing additional guidance to the learning agents for better solutions. Implemented on the widely-used AODV routing protocol, our proposed approaches demonstrate better performance in terms of energy efficiency and improved message delivery delay, even in highly dynamic network environments, when compared to the traditional AODV. These findings show the potential of leveraging reinforcement learning for efficient routing in ad hoc networks, making the way for future advancements in the field of mobile ad hoc networking.

Ad Hoc 무선망은 기존 인프라에 영향을 받지 않으면서, 노드들이 네트워크를 구성하기 때문에 TCP의 혼잡(Congestion) 제어가 나쁜 영향을 미친다. 기존의 TCP에 무선망의 요소와 거리에 따른 노드 홉수의 영향을 반영해서 새로운 환경에 적합한 TCP를 개선해야한다. 본 논문에서는 혼잡의 원인을 구별하여, 패킷 손실을 최소화할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다.
