In this paper, we propose a symmetric key establishment scheme for wireless sensor networks which tries to minimize the resource usage while satisfying the security requirements. This is accomplished by taking advantage of the communication pattern of wireless sensor networks and adopting heterogeneous wireless sensor networks. By considering the unique communication pattern of wireless sensor networks due to the nature of information gathering from the physical world, the number of keys to be established is minimized and, consequently, the overhead spent for establishing keys decreases. With heterogeneous wireless sensor networks, we can build a hybrid scheme where a small number of powerful nodes do more works than a large number of resource-constrained nodes to provide enhanced security service such as broadcast authentication and reduce the burden of resource-limited nodes. In addition, an on-demand key establishment scheme is introduced to support extra communications and optimize the resource usage. Our performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme is very efficient and highly scalable in terms of storage, communication and computation overhead. Furthermore, our proposed scheme not only satisfies the security requirements but also provides resilience to several attacks.

This paper analyzes a broadcasting technique for wireless multi-hop sensor networks that uses a form of cooperative diversity called opportunistic large arrays (OLAs). We propose a method for autonomous scheduling of the nodes, which limits the nodes that relay and saves as much as 32% of the transmit energy compared to other broadcast approaches, without requiring global positioning system (GPS), individual node addressing, or inter-node interaction. This energy-saving is a result of cross-layer interaction, in the sense that the medium access control (MAC) and routing functions are partially executed in the physical (PHY) layer. Our proposed method is called OLA with a transmission threshold (OLA-T), where a node compares its received power to a threshold to decide if it should forward. We also investigate OLA with variable threshold (OLA-VT), which optimizes the thresholds as a function of level. OLA-T and OLA-VT are compared with OLA broadcasting without a transmission threshold, each in their minimum energy configuration, using an analytical method under the orthogonal and continuum assumptions. The trade-off between the number of OLA levels (or hops) required to achieve successful network broadcast and transmission energy saved is investigated. The results based on the analytical assumptions are confirmed with Monte Carlo simulations.

Turbo-coded CDMA system is analyzed and simulated in an indoor wireless infrared channel. The indoor infrared channel is modeled as a non-directed diffuse link. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the turbo coding is very effective in improving BER (bit error rate) performance, and outperforms BCH code.

Gossip is a well-known protocol which was proposed to implement broadcast service with a high reliability in an arbitrarily connected network of sensor nodes. The probabilistic techniques employed in gossip have been used to address many challenges which are caused by flooding in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, very little work has yet been done on real-time wireless sensor networks which require not only highly reliable packets reception but also strict time constraint of each packet. Moreover, the unique energy constraining feature of sensor makes existing solutions unsuitable. Combined with unreliable links, redundant messages overhead in real-time wireless sensor networks is a new challenging issue. In this paper, we introduce a Reliable Gossip Zone, a novel fine-tailored mechanism for real-time wireless sensor networks with unreliable wireless links and low packet redundancy. The key idea is the proposed forwarding probability algorithm, which makes forwarding decisions after the realtime flooding zone is set. Evaluation shows that as an oracle broadcast service design, our mechanism achieves significantly less message overhead than traditional flooding and gossip protocols.

본 논문은 60 GHz 채널을 사용하는 무선장치들이 멀티홉 애드혹 네트워킹의 형태로 배치되어 있을 때에 일부 무선 장치들에서 발생한 비디오 트래픽을 에너지 효율적이며 버퍼가 안정적인 형태로 전달하는 동적/추계적 라우팅 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 모든 장치가 정보를 공유할 필요 없이 분산적으로 운영이 되기 때문에 중앙에서 알고리즘을 운영하는 제어장치가 필요 없다. 제안하는 알고리즘에 대한 성능은 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증되었다.

In this paper, we introduce algorithms for constructing broadcasting and multicasting trees. These algorithms are general because they may be used for tree cost functions that are of arbitrary form. Thus, essentially the same algorithmic procedures are used for different tree cost functions. We evaluate the effectiveness of the general algorithms by applying them to different cost functions that are often used to model wired and wireless net­works. Besides providing a unifying framework for dealing with many present and future tree-construction applications, these algorithms typically outperform some existing algorithms that are specifically designed for energy-aware wireless networks. These general algorithms perform well at the expense of higher computational complexity. They are centralized algorithms, requiring the full network information for tree construction. Thus, we also present variations of these general algorithms to yield other algorithms that have lower complexity and distributed implementation.

In wireless ad-hoc network, knowing the available bandwidth of the time varying channel is imperative for live video streaming applications. This is because the available bandwidth is varying all the time and strictly limited against the large data size of video streaming. Additionally, adapting the encoding rate to the suitable bit-rate for the network, where an overlarge encoding rate induces congestion loss and playback delay, decreases the loss and delay. While some effective rate controlling methods have been proposed and simulated well like VTP (Video Transport Protocol) [1], implementing to cooperate with the encoder and tuning the parameters are still challenging works. In this paper, we show our result of the implementation experiment of VTP based encoding rate controlling method and then introduce some techniques of our parameter tuning for a video streaming application over wireless environment.

Wireless data broadcasting system that can support any number of clients is the effective alternative for the challenge of scalability in ubiquitous computing in IoT environment. In the system, it is important to evaluate quickly the performance parameter, the access time that means how quickly the client access desired data items. In this paper, we derive the mathematical model for the access time in the wireless data broadcast system adopting two-tier indexing scheme. The derived model enables to evaluate the access time without the complicated simulation. In order to evaluate the model, we compare the access time by the model with the access time by the simulation.

IEEE 802.11와 같은 CSMA 무선 네트워크에서 브로드캐스트 전송을 안정성 있게 신뢰적으로 수행하기 위해, 브로드캐스트 송신 노드는 복수의 수신자들에게 충돌 없는 전송을 할 수 있도록 해야 하며 복수 수신자들의 패킷 수신 상태를 유지해야 한다. 본 논문은 무선 네트워크에서 안정적이고 신뢰적인 브로드캐스트를 수행하기 위한 효율적인 피드백 방법인 2-폴링 피드백을 제안한다. 이 방법에서 송신 노드는 두 개의 수신자 노드의 채널 상태를 확인한 후 브로드캐스트 전송을 수행한다. 본 논문은 브로드캐스트 전송을 위한 피드백 방법의 클래스를 분류하고 이들에 대해 성능 분석을 수행한다. 제안한 2-폴링 피드백 방법이 기존 피드백 방법보다 패킷 전송 지연시간과 패킷 안정화 시간 측면에서 우수함을 보인다. 2-폴링 방법은 전체-폴링 방법보다 복잡도가 낮으며, 1-폴링 방법과 비교할 때는 동일한 복잡도에 패킷 안정화 시간이 반 정도 감소함을 알 수 있다.
