Soft faults are inherent in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to external and internal errors. The failure of processes in a protocol stack are caused by errors on various layers. In this work, impact of errors and channel misbehavior on process execution is investigated to provide an error classification mechanism. Considering implementation of WSN protocol stack, inter-process correlations of stacked and peer layer processes are modeled. The proposed model is realized through local and global decision trees for fault diagnosis. A hybrid framework is proposed to implement local decision tree on sensor nodes and global decision tree on diagnostic cluster head. Local decision tree is employed to diagnose critical failures due to errors in stacked processes at node level. Global decision tree, diagnoses critical failures due to errors in peer layer processes at network level. The proposed model has been analyzed using fault tree analysis. The framework implementation has been done in Castalia. Simulation results validate the inter-process correlation model-based fault diagnosis. The hybrid framework distributes processing load on sensor nodes and diagnostic cluster head in a decentralized way, reducing communication overhead.

In this article, we model the distributed relay assignment network as a many-to-one matching market with peer effects. We discuss two scenarios for throughput optimization of relay networks: the scenario of aggregate throughput optimization and the scenario of fairness performance optimization. For the first scenario, we propose a Mutual Benefit-based Deferred Acceptance (MBDA) algorithm to increase the aggregate network throughput. For the second scenario, instead of using the alternative matching scheme, a non-substitution matching algorithm (NSA) is designed to solve the fairness problem. The NSA improves the fairness performance. We prove that both two algorithms converge to a globally stable matching, and discuss the practical implementation. Simulation results show that the performance of MBDA algorithm outperforms existing schemes and is almost the same with the optimal solution in terms of aggregate throughput. Meanwhile, the proposed NSA improves fairness as the scale of the relay network expands.

It is difficult to construct streaming services based on the overlay networks without any loss of scalability. DONet is one of the most representative streaming overlay network protocols without managing any specific structure. Since DONet does not support the nodes on private networks, it can be considered that the performance of the overlay is not the best. Hole Punching is one of the famous techniques participating the nodes on private networks to streaming overlay networks by using a rendezvous server. However, using only a single rendezvous server cannot be suggested in P2P environment, because it can cause problems in terms of scalability and so on. In this paper, we propose DONet-p, an extension of DONet with Distributed Hole Punching techniques. It supports the nodes on private networks without toss of scalability. The experimental results show the better performance and scalability than DONet with a minimum overhead for additional control messages.

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks are becoming more and more popular in video content delivery services, such as Video on Demand (VoD). Scalability feature of P2P allows a higher number of simultaneous users at a given server load and bandwidth to use stream service. However, the quality of service (QoS) in these networks is difficult to be guaranteed because of the free-riding problem that nodes download the recourses while never uploading recourses, which degrades the performance of P2P VoD networks. In this paper, a distributed trust model is designed to reduce node's free-riding phenomenon in P2P VoD networks. In this model, the P2P network is abstracted to be a super node hierarchical structure to monitor the reputation of nodes. In order to calculate the reputation of nodes, the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is introduced in this paper. Besides, a distinction algorithm is proposed to distinguish the free-riders and malicious nodes. The free-riders are the nodes which have a low frequency to free-ride. And the malicious nodes have a high frequency to free-ride. The distinction algorithm takes different measures to response to the request of these two kinds of free-riders. The simulation results demonstrate that this proposed trust model can improve QoS effectively in P2P VoD networks.

초기의 비구조적인 피어-투-피어 방식은 플러딩(flooding) 방식의 검색 기법을 사용하는데, 이 기법은 통신비용이 매우 많이 소요되어 비효율적이다. 따라서 효율적인 검색 기법으로 임의 경로(random walk) 검색 방식이 제안되었다. 이 검색 기법은 메시지가 임의로 노드를 이동하기 때문에, 검색의 성공률이 낮다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 효율적인 복제기법이 요구된다. 현재 나와 있는 복제 기법은 여러 방법이 있으나, 모두 통신에 고비용을 요구한다. 따라서 복제 기법에서는 통신비용을 최소화하는 효율적인 복제 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 캐시를 사용하여 직접적인 데이터 통신비용을 최대로 줄이는 한편, 복제를 질의가 많이 도착하는 곳에 위치시켜 검색률의 저하를 막고, 잘못된 캐시 관리 기법을 통해 동적인 환경에서도 잘못된 캐시로 인한 검색의 실패를 최소할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다.

The cognitive radio (CR) network has been studied in the form of open source by vast number of communities, and the potential expectation is very high since the CR is based on reprogrammable platform. However, as the peer-to-peer software has been abused, so high is the chance that the CR network can be abused public wide. Consequently, the benefit from the study of next-generation wireless network can be at risk because law breakers could abuse the CR. In this contribution, we analyze the issues and the problems of the CR and discuss an efficient measure against security attacks.

Inauthentic resources can be easily spread by P2P (Peer-to-Peer) participants due to the openness and anonymity of P2P networks. A possible way to restrict the distribution of inauthentic resources and prevent malicious peers from joining P2P networks is to exploit peers' reputation which reflect their past behaviors and are also helpful to predict peers' future behaviors. There is a possibility that some peers intentionally plays along with other peers in order to increase/decrease its reputation through false feedback exchanges. Therefore, we propose a new reputation management scheme, called TrustRRep (Trustable Resource sharing service using Reputation) scheme, which improves the trustworthiness and efficiency of P2P networks by identifying peers who give false feedback. The TrustRRep scheme is also capable of providing peers with the trustworthiness of shared resources by discriminating resources distributed by malicious peers. We implement the proposed TrustRRep scheme on the NS-2 simulator for evaluating its performance compared to the recent reputation management work available in literature. A case study on simulations shows that the proposed reputation management scheme yields efficient performance in terms of the minimal download ratio and dissemination of inauthentic resources, the efficient identification of peers who give false feedback, and the provisioning of the trustworthiness of peers' reputation. It also shows that the proposed TrustRRep scheme imposes the restrictions of participating P2P networks on a malicious peers by diminishing its trust value.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the retention of university freshmen could be predicted using their peer relationships in a specific department. In this study, retention was defined as a student staying enrolled in their university for a certain period of time. Social relationships are formed through interaction between people, so both students' self-perceptions and others' perceptions of them must be accounted for, so we used a social network analysis that did so. We examined social networks visualizations that allowed for a rich interpretation of numerical information. Participants in this study were freshmen who enrolled in an undergraduate program in 2017, 2018, or 2019. We used the name generator method to determine how quantitative friendship network variables predicted the academic retention up to the first semester of 2020. Cox proportional hazard model analysis showed that the weighted indegree centrality with intimacy positively predicted retention. The results of this study can be used to identify and conduct interventions for students who may be likely to disenroll. However all of the students did not participate in the department, it was difficult to examine their entire peer networks. Thus, this study's results cannot be generalized because the participants are students of a specific major, so further research is needed to produce more generalizable results.
