Hybrid media access control (MAC) is used in internet of things (IoT) network, because of communication feature concern with data capacity and communication interval between gateway and sensor nodes and the cost efficiency. Hybrid MAC consists of TDMA and CSMA generally. The distance between gateway and sensor node is openly changed in marine IoT network. Therefore, it is needed to control the period of timeslot of hybrid MAC used in marine IoT network. In this paper, the design rule of TDMA timeslot with the variable period depending on communication distance was proposed. It was confirmed from the analysis that 72 times communication between gateway and sensor nodes is possible in LoRa network by using the proposed TDMA variable timeslot scheme.

A construction method of energy-efficient data aggregation tree is proposed by considering a tradeoff between acquisition time and energy consumption in wireless sensor networks. This proposed method constructs the data aggregation tree to minimize the link cost between the connected nodes for reducing energy consumption, while minimizing the maximum distance between sensor nodes and a sink node for rapid information gathering. Simulation results show that the proposed aggregation tree can be generated with low complexity and achieves high energy efficiency compared to conventional methods.

Research advances in the areas of micro-sensor device and wireless network technology, has made it possible to develop energy efficient and low cost wireless sensor nodes. In this paper, the forward error control (FEC) scheme for lower power consumption and excellent BER(Bit Error Rate) performance during transmission propose in multi-hop wireless sensor network based on FSK modem. The FEC technique uses extra processing power related to encoding and decoding, it is need complex functions to be built into the sensor node. The probability of receiving a correct bit and codeword for relaying a frame over h nodes to the sink node is calculated as a function of channel parameter, number of hops, number of bits transmitted and the distance between the different nodes.

Recently there has been an increasing interest in exploring the radio irregularity research problem in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Measurements on real test-beds provide insights and fundamental information for a radio irregularity model. In our previous work "LMAT", we solved the path planning problem of the mobile anchor node without taking into account the radio irregularity model. This paper further studies how the localization performance is affected by radio irregularity. There is high probability that unknown nodes cannot receive sufficient location messages under the radio irregularity model. Therefore, we dynamically adjust the anchor node's radio range to guarantee that all the unknown nodes can receive sufficient localization information. In order to improve localization accuracy, we propose a new 2-hop localization scheme. Furthermore, we point out the relationship between degree of irregularity (DOI) and communication distance, and the impact of radio irregularity on message receiving probability. Finally, simulations show that, compared with 1-hop localization scheme, the 2-hop localization scheme with the radio irregularity model reduces the average localization error by about 20.51%.

Many peer-to-peer (p2p) systems have been studied in distributed, ubiquitous computing environments. Distributed hash table (DHT)-based p2p systems can improve load-balancing even though locality utilization and user mobility are not guaranteed. We propose a mobile locality-based hierarchical p2p overlay network (MLH-Net) to address locality problems without any other services. MLH-Net utilizes mobility features in a mobile environment. MLH-Net is constructed as two layers, an upper layer formed with super-nodes and a lower layer formed with normal-nodes. Because super-nodes can share advertisements, we can guarantee physical locality utilization between a requestor and a target during any discovery process. To overcome a node failure, we propose a simple recovery mechanism. The simulation results demonstrate that MLH-Net can decrease discovery routing hops by 15% compared with JXTA and 66% compared with Chord.

In the range-based localization, the localization accuracy will be high dependent on the accuracy of distance measurement between two nodes. The received signal strength(RSS) is one of the simplest methods of distance measurement, and can be easily implemented in a ranging-based method. However, a RSS-based localization scheme has few problems. One problem is that the signal in the communication channel is affected by many factors such as fading, shadowing, obstacle, and etc, which makes the error of distance measurement occur and the localization accuracy of sensor node be low. The other problem is that the sensor node estimates its location for itself in most cases of the RSS-based localization schemes, which makes the sensor network life time be reduced due to the battery limit of sensor nodes. Since beacon nodes usually have more resources than sensor nodes in terms of computation ability and battery, the beacon node based localization scheme can expand the life time of the sensor network. In this paper, therefore we propose a beacon node based localization algorithm using received signal strength(RSS) and path loss calibration in order to overcome the aforementioned problems. Through simulations, we prove the efficiency of the proposed scheme.

To enhance the user response time of content-based retrieval service for multimedia information, several multi-dimensional index schemes have been proposed. M-tree, a well-known multidimensional index scheme is of metric space access method, and is based on the distance between objects in the metric space. However, since the overlap between index spaces of nodes might enlarge the number of nodes of M-tree accessed for query processing, the user response time for content-based multimedia information retrieval grows longer. In this paper, we propose a node split algorithm which is able to reduce the sire of overlap between index spaces of nodes in M-tree. In the proposed scheme, we choose a virtual center point as the routing object and entry redistribution as the postprocessing after node split in order to reduce the radius of index space of a node, and finally in order to reduce the overlap between the index spaces of routing nodes. From the experimental results, we can see the proposed split algorithm reduce the overlap between index space of nodes and finally enhance the user response time for similarity-based query processing.

Recently, with the IPTV services, e-learning, real-time broadcasting and e-contents, many application services need the multicasting routing protocol. In this paper, the performance of the algorithm to assign the rendezvous router (RP: rendezvous point) in the center-based multicasting mesh network is analyzed. The estimated distance to select RP in the candidate nodes is calculated, and the node minimizing the distance is selected as the optimal RP. We estimate the distance by using the maximum distance, average distance, and mean of the maximum and average distance between the RP and members. The performance of the algorithm is compared with the optimal algorithm of all enumeration. With the assumptions of mesh network and randomly positioned for sources and members, the simulations for different parameters are studied. From the simulation results, the performance deviation between the algorithm with minimum cost and optimal method is evaluated as 6.2% average.

The 2-dimensional arrangement method of nodes has been used in most of RF (Radio Frequency) based communication network simulations. However, this method is not useful for the an none-obstacle 3-dimensional space networks in which the propagation delay speed in communication is very slow and, moreover, the values of performance factors such as the communication speed and the error rate change on the depth of node. Such a typical example is an underwater communication network. The 2-dimensional arrangement method is also not useful for the RF based network like some WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks), IBSs (Intelligent Building Systems), or smart homes, in which the distance between nodes is short or some of nodes can be arranged overlapping with their different heights in similar planar location. In such cases, the 2-dimensional network simulation results are highly inaccurate and unbelievable so that they lead to user's erroneous predictions and judgments. For these reasons, in this paper, we propose a method to place uniformly and randomly communication nodes in 3-dimensional network space, making the wireless link with neighbor node possible. In this method, based on the communication rage of the node, blocks are generated to construct the 3-dimensional network and a node per one block is generated and placed within a block area. In this paper, we also introduce an algorithm based on this method and we show the performance results and evaluations on the average time in a node generation and arrangement, and the arrangement time and scatter-plotted visualization time of all nodes according to the number of them. In addition, comparison with previous studies is conducted. As a result of evaluating the performance of the algorithm, it was found that the processing time of the algorithm was proportional to the number of nodes to be created, and the average generation time of one node was between 0.238 and 0.28 us. ultimately, There is no problem even if a simulation network with a large number of nodes is created, so it can be sufficiently introduced at the time of simulation.

In pattern recognition and image analysis upplications, a graph is a useful tool for complex obect representation and recognition. However it takes much time to pair proper nodes between the prototype graph and an input data graph. Futhermore it is difficult to decide whether the two graphs in a class are the same hecause real images are degradd in general by noise and other distortions. In this paper we propose a matching algorithm using a matrix. The matrix is suiable for simple and easily understood representation and enables the ordering and matching process to be convenient due to its predefined matrix manipulation. The nodes which constitute a gaph are ordered in the matrix by their geometrical positions and this makes it possible to save much comparison time for finding proper node pairs. for the classification, we defined a distance measure thatreflects the symbo's structural aspect that is the sum of the mode distance and the relation distance; the fornet is from the parameters describing the node shapes, the latter from the relations with othes node in the matrix. We also introduced a subdivision operation to compensate node merging which is mainly due t the prepreocessing error. The proposed method is applied to the recognition of musteal symbols and the result is given. The result shows that almost all, except heavily degraded symbols are recognized, and the recognition rate is approximately 95 percent.
