One of the most important VANET applications is providing active safety by broadcasting emergency messages. In order to prevent broadcast storm of flooding-based broadcasting scheme in which any node receiving message will rebroadcast, the existing protocols use the different methods to limit the number of relay nodes. Nevertheless, the existing protocols have low delivery ratio with high traffic density and cause message overhead. Currently, the dramatic increase in the number of vehicles equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) and onboard radar created new application scenarios that were not feasible before. Consequently, we proposed a broadcasting protocol that selects relay node by using GPS-based position information and detecting neighboring vehicles with the help of onboard radar to. Simulation results show that our proposed protocol has better performance than the existing schemes.

Ultra wide band (UWB) technology will be applied in the high rare wireless personal area networks (WPANs) for its high rate, low power, and innate immunity to multipath fading. In this paper, a power aware multi-hop packet relay MAC protocol in UWB based WPANs is proposed and a power aware path status factor (PAPSF), which is derived from SINR and power resource condition of each device, is used to select a suitable relay node. Compared with relaying by piconet coordinator (PNC), which is easily chosen by other ad hoc routing protocol, the new scheme can achieve hi임or throughput, decrease the time required for transmitting high power signal and we can easily distribute the battery power consumption from PNC to other devices in the piconet to prevent the PNC device using up its battery too fast and finally avoid PNC handover too frequently.

In MANET, the nodes, configuring a path, act as routers and they have various mobilities. If the path is broken by a node's moving, a new path has to be found again. For this reason, the node with high mobility should be excluded from configuring a path as far as possible. In this paper, we propose an algorithm which excludes nodes with high mobility from constructing a path by collecting and managing the information of mobility. As the result, the proposed algorithm provides more stable paths. In this algorithm, we appends MRecord Field and Relieve Field in the routing table to collect and manage the mobility information by extending current AOMDV. In addition, we add Mbl Field to RREP (Route Reply) message to adapt the collected information to configure the real path.

Industrial Wireless Sensor Network (IWSN) is a key feature of Industrial IoT that enables industrial automation through process monitoring and control by connecting industrial equipment such as sensors, robots, and machines wirelessly, and must support the strict requirements of modern industrial environments such as real-time, reliability, and energy efficiency. To achieve these goals, IWSN uses reliable communication methods such as multipath routing, fixed redundant resource allocation, and non-contention-based scheduling. However, the issue of wasting redundant resources that are not utilized for communication degrades not only the efficiency of limited radio resources but also the energy efficiency. In this paper, we propose a scheme that utilizes reinforcement learning in communication scheduling to periodically identify unused wireless resources and reallocate them to save energy consumption of the entire industrial network. The experimental performance evaluation shows that the proposed approach achieves about 30% improvement of resource efficiency in scheduling compared to the existing method while supporting high reliability. In addition, the energy efficiency and latency are improbed by more than 21% and 38%, respectively, by reducing unnecessary communication.

In an infrastructure-based wireless network, an access point is used for all communications among mobile devices. However, when a mobile device moves into a dead Bone, a connectivity disruption between the mobile device and the access point occurs. Such connectivity disruption consequently leads to another connectivity disruption between the mobile device moving toward the dead zone and other wireless-enabled devices located within the area of the infrastructure-based wireless network. To cope with the connectivity disruption in the infrastructure-based wireless network the ad hoc network that dynamically forms a network without any preexisting communication infrastructure needs to be set up to provide seamless connections among mobile devices. In this paper, we propose the DNSQ-MAC (Dynamic Network State aware QoS-Medium Access Control) technique that meets the deadlines of MAC frames forwarded over hop-by-hop multipaths and guarantees the QoS performance of an ad hoc-based wireless network. Mobile devices incorporating the DNSQ-MAC technique are capable of adjusting to the new dynamic network status in order to enhance the QoS performance in the ad hoc-based wireless network. A case study which exploits the Qualnet simulator shows that the proposed DNSQ-MAC technique can guarantee the deadlines of MAC frames forwarded over hop-by-hop multipaths and enhance the QoS performance of various routing protocols and packet schedulers running on the network layer above the MAC layer.
