This paper describes development of real-time condition monitoring system to observe state of a container crane in a port. To analyze the state of a crane, the strength and the direction of wind are measured with sensors along with the load resulted a crane at the moment. The measured signals are processed by especially developed conditioning board and converted into digital data. Measured data are analyzed to define the state of the crane at an indicator. For transmission of these data to the indicator, we implemented wireless sensor network based on IEEE 802.15.4 MAC(Media Access Control) protocol and Bluetooth network protocol. To extend the networking distance between the indicator and sensor nodes, the shortest path routing algorithm was applied for WSN(Wireless Sensor Network) networks. The indicator sends the state information of the crane to monitoring server through IEEE 802.11 b wireless LAN(Local Area Network). Monitoring server decides whether alarm should be issued or not. The performance of developed WSN and Bluetooth network were evaluated and analyzed in terms of communication delay and throughput.

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.

In this paper, we propose an empirical framework for modeling and emulating interference in multi-hop wireless ad-hoc networks. Wireless interference causes wide variation in the frame delivery rate at a link, and thus we cannot represent the state of the link with only two states, connected state and disconnected state, as in wired networks. We first investigate wireless interference in detail, in order to accurately calibrate the interference and identify its underlying attributes, and then we simulate the diverse occurrences and effects of interference, after incorporating the scheme into a simulation tool. Based on these observations, we devise a modeling and simulation framework with several control parameters, and perform an extensive set of simulation studies. The simulation results indicate that the proposed framework enables us to examine various attributes of wireless interferences and their effects on wireless network protocols and systems.

The wireless medium is known to be time-varying which could affect and result to a poor network's performance. As a solution, an opportunistic scheduling and power control algorithm based on IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is proposed in this paper. The algorithm opportunistically exploits the channel condition for better network performance. Convex optimization problems were also formulated i.e. the overall transmission power of the system is minimized and the "net-utility" of he system is maximized. We have proven that an optimal transmission power vector may exist, satisfying the maximum power and SINR constraints at all receivers, thereby minimizing overall transmission power and maximizing net-utility of the system.

Mobile Ad Hoc Network(MANET)에서는, 각 모바일 노드들이 하나의 연결을 유지하는 단말 호스트로 동작함과 동시에 라우터로서도 동작한다. 따라서 유선 네트워크와는 달리 라우터 뿐만 아니라 단말 호스트에서의 네트워크 혼잡이 고려의 대상이 되어야 한다. 네트워크 계층 간에 동작하는 플로우 컨트롤 알고리즘을 사용한다면, 단말 호스트(플로우의 소스 혹은 목적 노드)에서의 패킷 드롭을 줄임으로써 TCP throughput율 증가시킬 수 있다. 일반적으로 MANET의 링크 레이어 프로토콜로는 IEEE 802.11 MAC 프로토콜이 많이 사용되지만, 이 프로토콜은 링크 레이어에서의 플로우 컨트롤을 제공하지는 않는다. 링크 레이어 플로우 컨트롤은 패킷이 전송된 직후에 버퍼 오버플로우로 인해 드롭되는 것을 방지할 수 있으며, 이는 결과적으로 대역폭의 낭비와 전력사용을 줄일 수 있다. 이 논문에서 2개의 플로우 컨트롤 알고리즘, 즉 수직 플로우 컨트롤과 수명 플로우 컨트롤을 제안한다.

VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc Network) is a mobile Ad-hoc Network which deals with the moving vehicles. VANET supports Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) which is related to different modes of transport and traffic management techniques. VANETs enabled users to be informed and make them safer. VANET uses IEEE 802.11p standard wireless access protocol for communication. An important and necessary issue of VANET is to design routing protocols. In a network, communication takes place by the use of the routing protocols. There are mainly two types of communications used such as Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) in VANET. Vehicles can send and receive messages among them and also to and from infrastructure used. In this paper, AODV, DSR and DSDV are compared by analysing the results of simulation on various metrics such as average throughput, instant throughput, packet delivery ratio and residual energy. Findings indicates utilization of AODV and DSR is more applicable for these metrics as compared to DSDV. A network simulator (NS2) is used for simulation.

The MAC layer in ad-hoc network which makes network of nodes without infrastructure for a time has became an issue to reduce delay, allocate fairly bandwidth, control TX/RX power and improve throughput. Specially, the problem to reduce power consumption in ad-hoc network is very important part as ad-hoc devices use the limited battery. For solution of the problem, many power control algorithms, such as distribute power control, PCM (Power Control MAC) and F-PCF (Fragmentation based PCM), are proposed to limit power consumption until now. Although the algorithms are designed to minimize power consumption, the latency communication zone is generated by power control of RX/TX nodes. However the algorithms don't suitably reuse the space. In this paper proposes the algorithm to improve data throughput through Spatial Reuse based on a power control method.

Conventional topology-based routing protocols are not suitable for inter-vehicular communication, where frequent route updates are necessary due to continuous and abrupt changes in network topology Position-based routing protocols are widely accepted to better serve their purpose in such a scenario as they do not require path discovery or maintenance. However they have to deal with the overhead of the location service and inaccurate position information. This paper proposes the MMFP (Multi-hop MAC Forwarding Protocol) for inter-vehicle communication that relies on reachability information collected from received packets in making a forwarding decision without path discovery. The MMFP is designed as an extension to the IEEE 802.11 MAC layer to ensure accuracy in its time-critical operations. This paper also presents some simulation results that demonstrate the superior performance of the MMFP over AODV in a realistic inter-vehicular communication.
