We present a nearly optimal ($O(\nu\;min(\nu,\;n)n\;log\;n)$ time and O(n) srace) algorithm that constructs a shortest path map with n isothetic roads of speed $\nu$ under the $L_1$ metric. The algorithm uses the continuous Dijkstra method and its efficiency is based on a new geometric insight; the minimum in-degree of any nearest neighbor graph for points with roads of speed $\nu$ is $\Theta(\nu\;min(\nu,\;n))$, which is first shown in this paper. Also, this algorithm naturally extends to the multi-source case so that the Voronoi diagram for m sites can be computed in $O(\nu\;min(\nu,\;n)(n+m)log(n+m))$ time and O(n+m) space, which is also nearly optimal.

In order to improve the energy efficiency of n-Epidemic routing protocol in opportunistic networks, in which a stable end-to-end forwarding path usually does not exist, a novel adjustment strategy for parameter n is proposed using learning atuomata principle. First, nodes dynamically update the average energy level of current environment while moving around. Second, nodes with lower energy level relative to their neighbors take larger n avoiding energy consumption during message replications and vice versa. Third, nodes will only replicate messages to their neighbors when the number of neighbors reaches or exceeds the threshold n. Thus the number of message transmissions is reduced and energy is conserved accordingly. The simulation results show that, n-Epidemic routing protocol with the proposed adjustment method can efficiently reduce and balance energy consumption. Furthermore, the key metric of delivery ratio is improved compared with the original n-Epidemic routing protocol. Obviously the proposed scheme prolongs the network life time because of the equilibrium of energy consumption among nodes.

In a service environment, the spatial layout is an important factor that has a great impact on customers' behavioral characteristics including wayfinding and purchasing. Previous studies have shown a gap between marketing, focusing solely on profitability and satisfaction, and architecture, looking only into efficiency of pedestrian flow. To balance such disparity, this study suggests an integrated approach for assessing behavioral patterns in complex service environments. With the objective that complex service environments should aim to increase its profitability and efficiency while guaranteeing customer satisfaction, quantitative metrics was developed for evaluation. The metrics was defined to use data from behavior observation including path tracking, population counting, and gaze analysis, while previous studies have relied on abstract survey methods that were prone to sampling errors and loss of data. For validation of the metrics in a real world setting, a case study was conducted at 4 train stations in Korea. In the case study, experiments were conducted to gather the required data in all 4 train stations, while their physical layouts were also analyzed. With the results from the case study, comparative evaluation of the 4 train stations in terms of behavioral efficiency was possible, together with a discussion on the effect of their physical settings.

Purpose: This study questioned the efficiency of daylight factor as a daylight adequacy and investigated a method of how to complement its weakness by considering a direct sunlight component under a clear sky condition. Method: The Snowdon visitor centre cafe was chosen as a case study building and various techniques such as BRE formula, BRE sky protractor, Pilkington dot diagram and mock-upscale model under the artificial sky simulator were used to analyse and compare daylight factor values. An analysis of direct sunlight component under the clear sky condition was carried out by Climate Consultant 5.5, sun path diagram, and the artificial sky simulator. Result: The result of daylight factor analysis differed by the adopted techniques and it was also contradictory to the results on a direct sunlight penetration. The result not only showed the limitation of daylight factor as a metric but also suggested an improvement by combining it with direct sunlight analysis. The techniques used in this study had a merit of being applied in the early design stage and thus be beneficial to many design professions in order for early daylight performance analysis.

Effective link quality estimation is a vital issue for reliable routing in wireless networks. This paper studies the performance of expected transmission count (ETX) under different traffic loads. Although ETX shows good performance under light load, its performance gets significantly worse when the traffic load is high. A broadcast packet storm due to new route discoveries severely affects the link ETX values under high traffic load, which makes it difficult to find a good path. This paper presents the design and implementation of a variation of ETX called high load - ETX (HETX), which reduces the impact of route request broadcast packets to link metric values under high load. We also propose a reliable routing protocol using link quality metrics, which is called link quality distance vector (LQDV). We conducted the evaluation of the performance of three metrics - HETX, ETX and minimum hop-count. The simulation results show that HETX improves the average route throughput by up to 25% over ETX under high traffic load. Minimum hop-count has poor performance compared with both HETX and ETX at all of the different traffic loads. Under light load, HETX and ETX show the same performance.

The change of any element in the network is possible to cause performance degradation of the multicast network. So it is necessary to optimize the topology path through the multicast update strategy, which directly affects the performance and user experience of the overlay multicast. In view of the above, a new multicast tree update strategy based on perturbation theory Musp (Multicast Update Strategy based on Perturbation theory) is proposed, which reduces the data transmission interruption caused by the multicast tree update and improves user experiences. According to the multicast tree's elements performance and the topology structure, the Musp strategy defines the multicast metric matrix and based on the matrix perturbation theory it also defines the multicast fluctuation factor. Besides it also demonstrates the calculability of the multicast fluctuation factor presents the steps of the Musp algorithm and calculates the complexity. The experimental results show that compared with other update strategies, as for the sensitivity of the multicast fluctuation factor's energized multicast tree to the network disturbance, the maximum delay of the Musp update strategy is minimal in the case of the local degradation of network performance.

Greedy forwarding is a key mechanism of geographic routing using distance as a metric. As greedy forwarding only uses 1-hop neighbor node information, it minimizes routing overhead and is highly scalable. In existing greedy forwarding schemes, a node selects a next forwarding node based only on the distance. However, the signal strength in a realistic environment reduces exponentially depending on the distance, so that by considering only the distance, it may cause a large number of data packet retransmissions. To solve this problem, many greedy forwarding schemes have been proposed. However, they do not consider the unreliable and asymmetric characteristics of wireless links and thus cause the waste of limited battery resources due to the data packet retransmissions. In this paper, we propose a reliable and energy-efficient opportunistic greedy forwarding scheme for unreliable and asymmetric links (GF-UAL). In order to further improve the energy efficiency, GF-UAL opportunistically uses the path that is expected to have the minimum energy consumption among the 1-hop and 2-hop forwarding paths within the radio range. Comprehensive simulation results show that the packet delivery rate and energy efficiency increase up to about 17% and 18%, respectively, compared with the ones in PRR${\times}$Distance greedy forwarding.

이동 애드 혹 네트워크(Mobile Ad Hoc Network; MANET)는 인프라 없이 빠른 구성이 가능한 네트워크이다. 하지만, 긴급 상황과 같은 특수한 경우가 아닌 일상생활에서 사용 가능한 네트워크로 발전하기 위해서는 MANET과 인터넷의 연결이 꼭 필요하다. 인터넷 노드와 MANET 노드 간의 통신을 가능하게 만드는 것은 인터넷과 MANET을 중계하는 인터넷 게이트웨이를 통해서 이다. 고장 감내(fault tolerance)를 지원하고 대역폭을 늘리기 위해 다중 인터넷 게이트웨이들을 MANET에 배치하여 사용할 수 있다. 다중 게이트웨이들 간의 부하를 잘 분배한다면 네트워크 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있으므로, MANET 내에 여러 개의 인터넷 게이트웨이가 존재할 경우 이들 간의 부하 균등화는 중요한 이슈이다. 본 연구에서는 노드들의 이동이 빈번하고 인터넷 게이트웨이들이 고정되어 있는 MANET 환경에서의 부하 균등화 인터넷 게이트웨이 발견 기법들을 제안한다. 기존에 제안된 부하 균등화 기법들로 Shortest Path (SP), Minimum Load Index(MLI), Running Variance Metric (RVM) 기법들을 소개하고 각 기법들에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과를 제공한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 이들 기법을 분석하여 문제점을 찾아내고 이를 수정 및 보완하여 새로운 기법들을 제안하며, 새로운 기법들의 성능이 기존 기법들에 비하여 향상되었음을 보인다.

동적 라우팅은 최적경로를 선택하고 라우팅테이블을 업데이트 하기 위해 라우팅 프로토콜을 사용한다. 가장 널리 사용되는 라우팅 프로토콜은 거리벡터 알고리즘을 이용한 라우팅인포메이션 프로토콜(RIP)이다. RIP는 최적경로서 최저 흡수의 경로를 취한다. 하지만 이 RIP는 매우 심각한 단점을 가지고 있다. 그것은 15 흡수 이상의 목적지에 대한 네트워크의 라우팅테이블을 유지할 수 없다는 것이다. 이를 극복하기 위해 TCP/IP에서 개발된 링크상태 프로토콜인 OSPF가 사용된다. OSPF는 큰 네트워크에 적합하고 RIP가 갖은 단점들을 극복 했다. 본 논문은 동일한 네트워크에서 메세지 전달과 지연, 링크 사용율, 메세지 전달갯수 같은 두 프로토콜사이의 트래픽과 링크효율을 분석하였다.
