With the advent of tiny and inexpensive computer systems like Raspberry Pi, it has become possible to construct an experimental environment of MANETs (Mobile Ad hoc Networks) at a relatively low cost. In this paper, we implement a node of MANETs with a Raspberry Pi equipped with two 802.11 wireless LAN cards and dynamic routing software running on it. In an outdoor MANETs environment with moving mobile nodes automatically rebuilding broken routes, we conducted a real-time video streaming experiment over the MANET. The video stream is transmitted from a node with a video camera installed on it to another node through the route established dynamically. Each node is equipped with a display device, with which the current status of the node can be checked out. We also implemented software that automatically collects data stored in each node and analyzes the performance of the MANETs. Through this experiment, we could evaluate the performance of realistic video streaming service in a MANETs environment.

An advantage of the mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is that mobile nodes can self-organize the network topology without the help of network infrastructure. However, for the perfect self-organization of the MANET, each mobile node needs to self-configure its address. Even though a mobile node configures a unique address during the booting time, its address may conflict with nodes in other MANETs since MANETs containing the same address can be merged. The address autoconfiguration protocol implemented in this work consists of the strong DAD (Duplicate Address Detection) and the weak DAD. A unique address of a node is assigned by the strong DAD during the booting time and the weak DAD is used to detect address conflict and resolve address conflict during the ad hoc routing. In this work, we have implemented address autoconfiguration in the IPv6-based MANET using AODV as the routing protocol. We describe how the IPv6 address autoconfiguration is implemented and verify our implementation by showing the test scenarios on our testbed.

When Handoff occurs at wireless network, existing AP search chooses one of various APs according to signal strength information. However, IEEE 802.11 uses Medium Access method with CSMA/CA that competes to obtain a channel by sharing medium. Therefore, network performance is heavily affected by the number of nodes and network congestion aside from signal strength. This scheme presented an additional AP selection indicator and a new handoff algorithm to realize handoff guaranteeing the network performance of mobile node in a process selecting new AP. This indicator is includes a handoff cost function reflecting the network information of mobile node, and the mobile node made handoff guaranteeing the network performance using network information possible by using this. also we classified the nodes into high-speed node and low-speed node. Then, when Handoff occurs, high-speed node was made itself choose AP by signal strength information. We also made the low-speed node choose its AP by using AP network information which is applied area. Hence, we demonstrate through simulation that gets an improvement in performance, even in the wireless network which many users concurrently access to, and it has considerable effects on aspects of resources and network management by distribution of users.

Recently, with the rapid development of factory automation and logistics system, a few workers were able to manage the broad workplace such as large vessels and warehouse. To estimate the exact location of these workers in the conventional wireless indoor localization systems, three or more fixed nodes are generally used to recognize the location of a mobile node consisting of a single node. However, these methods are inefficient in terms of node deployment because the broad workplace requires a lot of fixed nodes compared to workers(mobile nodes). Therefore, to efficiently deploy fixed nodes in these environments that need a few workers, this paper presents a novel estimation algorithm which can reduce the number of fixed nodes by efficiently recognizing the relative coordinates of two fixed nodes through a mobile node composed of three nodes. Also, to minimize the distance errors between mobile node and fixed node, rounding estimation(RE) technique is proposed. Experimental results show that the error rate of localization is improved, by using proposed RE technique, 90.9% compared to conventional trilateration in the free space. In addition, despite the number of fixed nodes can be reduced by up to 50% in the indoor free space, the proposed estimation algorithm recognizes precise location which has average error of 0.15m.

With the increasing demands for mobile wireless sensor networks in recent years, designing an energy-efficient clustering and routing protocol has become very important. This paper provides an analytical model to evaluate the power consumption of a mobile sensor node. Based on this, a clustering algorithm is designed to optimize the energy efficiency during cluster head formation. A genetic algorithm technique is employed to find the near-optimal threshold for residual energy below which a node has to give up its role of being the cluster head. This clustering algorithm along with a hybrid routing concept is applied as the near-optimal energy-efficient routing technique to increase the overall efficiency of the network. Compared to the mobile low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy protocol, the simulation studies reveal that the energy-efficient routing technique produces a longer network lifetime and achieves better energy efficiency.

CSS (Chirp Spread Spectrum) specified in IEEE 802.15.4a can be used for ranging applications. In this paper, we apply the CSS to estimate the coordinates of a mobile robot. Four anchor nodes are installed at known positions and a tag node is attached to the target mobile robot. By CSS ranging, we measure the distances between each anchor and the tag node. Based on the measured distances, the coordinates of the mobile robot can be calculated by the method of trilateration. However the calculated coordinates are not accurate because of the errors of the measured distances. Therefore we propose an algorithm for reducing the effect of the errors. The proposed algorithm is executed with the extended Kalman filter. Through localization experiments, we show the performance of the proposed algorithm and the accuracy of the estimated position.

Mobile ad hoc networks are expected to be widely used in the near future. However, they are susceptible to various security threats because of their inherent characteristics. Malicious flooding attacks are one of the fatal attacks on mobile ad hoc networks. These attacks can severely clog an entire network, as a result of clogging the victim node. If collaborative multiple attacks are conducted, it becomes more difficult to prevent. To defend against these attacks, we propose a novel defense mechanism in mobile ad hoc networks. The proposed scheme enhances the amount of legitimate packet processing at each node. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme also improves the end-to-end packet delivery ratio.

최근 Mobile IP의 기술 동향은 다양한 핸드오버 메커니즘에 초점을 이뤄 진행되고 있다. 일반적인 네트워크 구조에서 MN(Mobile Node)의 핸드오버 시점을 전후로 CN(Correspondent Node)에서 MN로 전송되는 패킷의 비 순서화는 여러 가지 문제점을 야기 시킨다. 애를 들면 전송측의 재전송 메시지 증가와 패킷손실 등 종단간에서의 심각한 성능 저하를 일으킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 IETF에서 제안한 계층적 Mobile IPv6 기반의 네트워크 구조를 바탕으로 더블 버퍼링 방식을 제안하였고 이를 통해 핸드오버 시 발생되는 비 순서적인 패킷 전송을 순서화 함으로써 위와 같은 문제점을 극복하여 종단간에 성능 향상이 기대된다.

The combination of Fast-Handoff and Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (F-HMIPv6) allows the anticipation of the layer3 handoff such that data traffic can be efficiently redirected to the mobile node's new location before it moves there. However, after moving to the new Access Router (NAR), if the mobile node (MN) sends the Local Binding Update (LBU) to the Mobility Anchor Point (MAP) before receiving all of the buffered packet from the NAR, the MN may receive the general packet from the MAP. That is, the MN may simultaneously receive two types of packet which has different sequence number. These cause the confusion in packet order, and the MN sends the dup ack for the packet retransmission to the CN. It results in the degradation of the TCP performance. Therefore, we propose the scheme for minimizing the out-of-sequence packet in F-HMIPv6.

휴대용 단말기와 이동통신 기술의 발달로 무선 네트워크의 사용이 급증하면서 호스트가 이동중에도 지속적인 네트워킹이 가능한 프로토콜들이 개발되고 있다. Mobile IP는 이동 노드(mobile node)가 인터넷상의 임의의 다른 위치에 접속하여 IP 주소를 변경하지 않고, 홈 주소를 이용하여 통신하며 위치에 따른 care-of address에 의해 데이타를 터널링하여 전달받는다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 self-similar 트래픽을 갖는 mobile IP의 성능을 분석한다. 일반적으로 데이타 트래픽, 바인딩 갱신시간, 버퍼관리 방법 등은 핸드오프 동안 mobile LP의 성능에 많은 영향을 비친다. 따라서 시뮬레이션 모델을 이용하여 self-similar 트래픽 환경에서 위에 언급된 성능 파라미터들의 영향을 분석한다.
