Routing security is the confidentiality of route taken by the data transmitted over communication networks. If the route is detected by an adversary, the probability is high that the data lost or the data can be intercepted by the adversary. Therefore, the route must be protected. To accomplish this, we select an intermediate node secretly and transmit the data using this intermediate node, instead of sending the data to a destination node using the shortest direct path. Furthermore, if we use a number of secret routes from a node to a destination node, data security is much stronger since we can transmit partial data rather than entire data along a secret route. Finally, the idea above is implemented on MRNS Network.

최근 무선 네트워크 기술이 점차 각광을 받으면서 다양한 애드 혹 환경에서의 라우팅 프로토콜이 제안되고 있다. 하지만 애드 혹 네트워크라는 환경의 특성 상 보안상 취약한 문제점을 가지고 있으며, 기존의 유선 네트워크 환경에서 제안되었던 보안 라우팅 프로토콜을 적용시키기 힘들다는 문제점이 있다. 이에 따라 보안성을 보완한 새로운 애드 혹 라우팅 프로토콜이 제안되었지만 다양한 무선 네트워크 환경의 변화에 유동적으로 대응하기 힘들고 보안적인 측면에 집중을 한 나머지 에너지소모 측면에서는 단점을 노출하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 애드 혹 네트워크 환경에 적용 가능하고, 기존의 보안 라우팅 프로토콜에 비해 에너지 효율적인 보안 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안하고자 한다. 보안 정보의 보호를 위해 Tree 구조를 도입하고 보안 단계를 통한 Multi-path를 구성하여 악의적인 노드의 Dropping Attack에 대비하고, 예기치 못한 Data Packet의 손실에 대해서도 효율적으로 대처하게 하였다. 실험 결과 악의적인 노드가 존재하는 네트워크 환경에서 기존의 애드 혹 네트워크 보안 라우팅 프로토콜보다 21%정도의 패킷 전송 성공률을 높일 수 있었으며 또한 각 노드의 에너지를 균등하게 소모함으로써 전체적인 네트워크의 생존시간이 연장되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes an energy-aware path management scheme, so-called the TBP(Threshold based Back-Pressure) algorithm, which is designed for lifetime extension of the energy-constrained wireless sensor networks. With the goal of fair energy consumptions, we extensively utilize the available paths between the source and the sink nodes. The traffic distribution feature of the TBP algorithm operates in two scales; the local and the whole routing area. The threshold and the back-pressure signal are introduced for implementing those operations. It is noticeable that the TBP algorithm maintains the scalability by defining both the threshold and the back-pressure signal to have their meanings locally confined to one hop only. Throughout several experiments, we observe that the TBP algorithm enhances the network-wide energy distribution. which implies the extension of the network lifetime. Additionally, both the delay and the throughput outcomes show remarkable improvements. This shows that the energy-aware path control scheme holds the effects of the congestion control.

WireWireless sensor networks(WSNs) are generally comprised of densely deployed sensor nodes, which causes highly redundant sensor data transmission and energy waste. Many studies have focused on energy saving in WSNs. However, delay problem also should be taken into consideration for mission-critical applications. In this paper, we propose a BISA (Bio-Inspired Scheduling Algorithm) to reduce the energy consumption and delay for WSNs inspired by biological systems. BISA investigates energy-efficient routing path and minimizes the energy consumption and delay using multi-channel for data transmission. Through simulations, we observe that the BISA archives energy efficiency and delay guarantees.

Although IoT systems are used in a variety of heterogeneous environments as cloud environments develop, all IoT devices are not provided with reliable protocols and services. This paper proposes an IoT data management technique that can extend the IoT cloud environment to an n-layer multi-level structure so that information collected from different heterogeneous IoT devices can be efficiently sorted and processed. The proposed technique aims to classify and process IoT information by transmitting routing information and weight information through wireless data link data collected from heterogeneous IoT devices. The proposed technique not only delivers information classified from IoT devices to the corresponding routing path but also improves the efficiency of IoT data processing by assigning priority according to weight information. The IoT devices used in the proposed technique use each other's reliable protocols, and queries for other IoT devices locally through a local cloud composed of hierarchical structures have features that ensure scalability because they maintain a certain cost.y channels of IoT information in order to make the most of the multiple antenna technology.

In this paper, we propose a new contention window control algorithm to increase TCP performance in wireless multi-hop networks. The new contention window control algorithm is suggested to reduce the hidden and exposed terminal problems of wireless multi-hop networks. Most of packet drops in wireless multi-hop networks results from hidden and exposed terminal problems, not from collisions. However, in normal DCF algorithm a failed user increases its contention window exponentially, thus it reduces the success probability of fined nodes. This phenomenon causes burst data transmissions in a particular node that already was successful in packet transmission, because the success probability increases due to short contention window. However, other nodes that fail to transmit packet data until maximum retransmission attempts try to set up new routing path configuration in network layer, which cause TCP performance degradation and restrain seamless data transmission. To solve these problems, the proposed algorithm increases the number of back-of retransmissions to increase the success probability of MAC transmission, and fixes the contention window at a predetermined value. By using ns-2 simulation for the chain and grid topology, we show that the proposed algorithm enhances the TCP performance.

Link quality assessment is a crucial part of sensor network formation to stably operate large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A stability of path consisting of several nodes strongly depends on all link quality between pair of consecutive nodes. Thus it is very important to assess the link quality on the stage of building a routing path. In this paper, we present a link quality assessment method, Hybrid Link Quality Metric (HQLM), which uses both of LQI and RSSI from RF chip of sensor nodes to minimize set-up time and energy consumption for network formation. The HQLM not only reduces the time and energy consumption, but also provides complementary cooperation of LQI and RSSI. In order to evaluate the validity and efficiency of the proposed method, we measure PDR (Packet Delivery Rate) by exchanging multiple messages and then, compare PDR to the result of HQLM for evaluation. From the research being carried out, we can conclude that the HQLM performs better than either LQI- or RSSI-based metric in terms of recall, precision, and matching on link quality.

Among the numerous duties of a librarian in a library, the work of arranging books is a job that the librarian has to do one by one. Thus, the cost of labor and time is large. In order to solve this problem, the interest in book-arranging robots based on artificial intelligence has recently increased. In this paper, we propose the K-ACO algorithm, which is the shortest path algorithm for multi-stops that can be applied to the library book arrangement robots. The proposed K-ACO algorithm assumes multiple robots rather than one robot. In addition, the K-ACO improves the ANT algorithm to create K clusters and provides the shortest path for each cluster. In this paper, the performance analysis of the proposed algorithm was carried out from the perspective of book arrangement time. The proposed algorithm, the K-ACO algorithm, was applied to a university library and compared with the current book arrangement algorithm. Through the simulation, we found that the proposed algorithm can allocate fairly, without biasing the work of arranging books, and ultimately significantly reduce the time to complete the entire work. Through the results of this study, we expect to improve quality services in the library by reducing the labor and time costs required for arranging books.

A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) supports a multi-hop wireless network without any prepared base station (BS). The MANET is capable of building a mobile network automatically without any help from DHCP servers for address allocation or routers to forward or route messages. Many routing protocols have been proposed for the MANET, but these specify the most optimized or shortest path from a source to a destination, and they assume that nodes are pre-configured before communication. To make up for this, address allocation algorithms, such as MANETConf [1] and prophet address allocation algorithm [2], have been proposed. Especially, MANETConf proposes address allocation algorithm with duplication address check. In this paper, we present a dynamic node configuration protocol based on 2-tierd hierarchical network architecture for mobile ad-hoc network, modified from [1]. Especially, it reduces the number of broadcast message exchange between nodes when a new node somes into a network, which lessens network overhead, remarkably. This protocol is based on two-tired structure, and it ensures address allocation with simple duplication address defection mechanism.
