The value of sensing information is decided according to positions of sensor nodes, which are very important in sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a method that estimates positions of nodes by using adjacent node information and received signal strength in a sensor network. With the proposed method, we can find positions of nodes easily because we use information that nodes have. Moreover, we can find distribution easily for all the nodes because we can measure a relative position for a node whose position is not known based on anchor nodes whose positions are already known. We utilized Use case diagram, activity diagram and State machine diagram among several diagrams of UML to implement proposed method in sensor networks that is dynamic system. We can understand exact flow for each function of the proposed method in node position estimation system can be implemented easily. And we can be confirmed that the position of estimated nodes has a little error.

In the mobile cloud computing, the mobile node should request and receive the services while being connected. In PMIPv6, all packets sent by mobile nodes or correspondent nodes are transferred through the local mobility anchor. This unnecessary detour still results in high delivery latency and significant processing cost. Several PMIPv6 route optimization schemes have been proposed to solve this issue. However, they also suffer from the high signaling costs and handover latency when determining the optimized path. We propose the route optimization handover scheme which adopts the prediction algorithm in PFMIPv6. In the proposed scheme, the new mobile access gateway establishes the bi-directional tunnel with the correspondent node's MAG using the context message when the mobile node's handover is imminent. This tunnel may eliminate the need of separate route optimization procedure. Hence, the proposed scheme can reduce the signaling cost than other conventional schemes do. Analytical performance evaluation is preformed to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. The result shows that our scheme is more effective than other schemes.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely used in geographically isolated applications like military border area monitoring, battle field surveillance, forest fire detection systems, etc. Uninterrupted power supply is not possible in isolated locations and hence sensor nodes live on their own battery power. Localization of sensor nodes in isolated locations is important to identify the location of event for further actions. Existing localization algorithms consume more energy at sensor nodes for computation and communication thereby reduce the lifetime of entire WSNs. Existing approaches also suffer with less localization coverage and localization accuracy. The objective of the proposed work is to increase the lifetime of WSNs while increasing the localization coverage and localization accuracy. A novel intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle anchor node (IUAN) is proposed to reduce the communication cost at sensor nodes during localization. Further, the localization computation cost is reduced at each sensor node by the proposed intelligent arc selection (IAS) algorithm. IUANs construct the location-distance messages (LDMs) for sensor nodes deployed in isolated locations and reach the Control Station (CS). Further, the CS aggregates the LDMs from different IUANs and computes the position of sensor nodes using IAS algorithm. The life time of WSN is analyzed in this paper to prove the efficiency of the proposed localization approach. The proposed localization approach considerably extends the lifetime of WSNs, localization coverage and localization accuracy in isolated environments.

핸드오버가 발생하는 이동망 환경에서 주요 이슈 중 하나는 핸드오버 후 MN(Mobile Node)의 트래픽이 전송될 새로운 경로 상에 자원 재예약을 위한 지연 시간을 최소화하는 것이다. 이를 위해, 데이터 전달 경로가 변경된 경로에서만 자원예약 시그널링이 이루어지도록 CRN(Crossover Node)을 발견하는 것이 중요하다. 이동망 환경에서 자원 재예약을 위한 CRN은 SID(Session ID)를 이용하여 발견될 수 있다. 그러나 HMIPv6 네트워크에서 MAP(Mobility Anchor Point)과 HA(Home Agent)간 군집(Aggregate) 자원 예약이 이루어진 경우에서는 SID를 이용하여 CRN을 발견할 수 없다. 왜냐하면, MN의 핸드오버 후, 종단간 SID는 동일할지라도 이전 MAP과 HA간 설립된 세션의 군집 SID가 새로운 MAP과 HA간 설립된 세션의 군집 SID와 다르기 때문이다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 HMIPv6 네트워크에서의 CRN 발견방안을 제안한다. 제안하는 방안에서는 시그널링 메시지에 이전 군집 세션 정보를 포함하여 전달함으로서 시그널링 메시지가 목적지까지 도달하기 전에 CRN이 발견될 수 있도록 하였다. 제안하는 방안은 군집 자원예약이 갖는 시그널링 및 플로우별 상태 정보 감소 효과를 그대로 유지하면서, MN의 핸드오버 후, 자원 재예약을 위한 지연 시간을 단축시킴으로서 통신 성능을 향상 시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In wireless sensor networks(WSNs), geographical routing algorithms can enhance the network capacity. However, in real WSNs, it is difficult for each node to know its physical location accurately. Especially, indoor environments contain various obstacles such as concrete wall, furniture which cause non-line-of-sight(NLOS) conditions. To solve the problem, we propose location error compensation algorithm by using two difference topology constructions. First topology is based on mobile node's location which is obtained from anchor nodes. Second topology is based on mutual distance from neighbor nodes. The proposed algorithm efficiently detects and corrects the location errors and significantly enhances the network performance of geographic routing in the presence of location errors.

Network Mobility basic support protocol (NEMO Basic) extends the operation of Mobile IPv6 to provide uninterrupted Internet connectivity to the communicating nodes of mobile networks. The protocol uses a mobile router (MR) in the mobile network to perform prefix scope binding updates with its home agent (HA) to establish a bi-directional tunnel between the HA and MR. This solution reduces location-update signaling by making network movements transparent to the mobile nodes (MNs) behind the MR. However, delays in data delivery and higher overheads are likely to occur because of sub-optimal routing and multiple encapsulation of data packets. To manage the mobility of the mobile network, it is important to minimize packet overhead, to optimize routing, and to reduce the volume of handoff signals over the nested mobile network. This paper proposes en aggregate router-assisted route optimization (ARARO) scheme for nested mobile networks support which introduces a local anchor router in order to localize handoff and to optimize routing. With ARARO, a mobile network node (MNN) behind a MR performs route optimization with a correspondent node (CN) as the MR sends a binding update message (BU) to aggregate router (AGR) via root-MR on behalf of all active MNNs when the mobile network moves. This paper describes the new architecture and mechanisms and provides simulation results which indicate that our proposal reduces transmission delay, handoff latency and signaling overhead. To evaluate the scheme, we present the results of simulation.

Network Mobility Basic Support protocol reduces location-update signaling by making network movements transparent to the mobile nodes (MNs) behind the mobile router (MR), but causes some problems such as sub-optimal routing and multiple encapsulations. This paper proposes an Route Optimization Employing HMIP Extension for Mobile Networks (ROHMIP) scheme for nested nubile networks support which introduces HMIP concept with relation information between MNNs behind a MR and the MR in order to localize handoff, to optimize routing and especially reduce handoff signal overhead. With ROHMIP, a mobile network node (MNN) behind a MR performs route optimization with a correspondent node (CN) as the MR sends a binding update message (BU) to mobility anchor point (MAP) via root-MR on behalf of all active MNNs when the mobile network moves. This paper describes the new mechanisms and provides simulation results which indicate that our proposal reduces transmission delay, handoff latency and signaling overhead.

Because the Resource reservation Protocol (RSVP) was originally designed fur stationary networks, it is insufficient to accommodate Mobile Nodes (MNs) which frequently change their points of attachment.7his paper deals with how to integrate the RSVP and Hierarchical MHv6 (HMIPv6), in order to quickly establish the QoS guaranteed path and minimize the service disruption when the MN moves around. That can be achieved with the utilization of the common path between the new and old path. Therefore a new method is proposed in detail to find out an anchor node and re-establish a new reservation path.

Proxy Mobile IPv6에서는 같은 Local Mobility Anchor 내의 다른 Mobile Access Gateway에 있는 Mobile Node들의 패킷 전송에 있어서 발생하는 삼각 라우팅 문제는 여전히 존재한다. 이 문제점을 해결하기 위해 인터넷 드래프트 Liebsch와 Dutta에서 제안된 두 가지 Route Optimization 기법의 동작 과정을 알아보고, 상호 데이터 전송 상황에서 더 나은 성능을 제공하는 Correspondent Route Optimization 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 Route Optimization 기법은 Correspondent Flag를 추가하여 Mobile Access Gateway 간 Corresponding Binding을 완료하여, Route Optimization을 설정한다. 제안한 Correspondent Route Optimization 기법은 기존의 기법보다 상호 데이터 전송 상황에서 Route Optimization에 필요한 메시지 수가 적기 때문에 시그널링 비용이 감소하였다.

최근 Internet Engineering Task Force에서 표준화가 된 Proxy Mobile IPv6는 기존의 이동성 보장 프로토콜인 Mobile IPv6가 가지는 많은 문제점을 보완했다. 하지만, Proxy Mobile IPv6에서 같은 Local Mobility Anchor 내에 있고, 다른 Mobile Access Gateway에 있는 Mobile Node 사이의 패킷 전송에 있어서 발생하는 삼각 라우팅 문제는 여전히 존재한다. 이 문제점을 해결하기 위해 최근 Liebsch의 드래프트와 A.Dutta의 드래프트에서 제안된 두 가지의 Route Optimization 기법의 동작 과정을 알아보고, 상호 데이터 전송 상황에서 더 나은 성능을 제공하는 새로운 Route Optimization 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 Route Optimization 기법은 Corresponding Information을 이용하여 Mobile Access Gateway 간 Corresponding Binding을 완료하여, Route Optimization을 설정한다. 제안한 Correspondent Information을 이용한 Route Optimization 기법은 기존의 기법보다 상호 데이터 전송 상황에서 Route Optimization에 필요한 메시지 수가 적기 때문에 시그널링 비용이 감소하였다.
