We consider a queueing system with N-limited nonstop forwarding. In this queueing system, when the server breaks down, up to N customers can be serviced during the repair time. It can be used to model an assembly line consisting of several automatic stations and a manual backup station. Within the framework of $Geo^X/D/1$ queue, the matrix analytic approach is used to obtain the performance of the system. Some numerical examples are provided.

We present a new network-layer architecture that provides generalized addressing. The forwarding infrastructure is independent of the addressing architecture, so multiple addressing architectures can be used simultaneously. We compare our solution with the existing Internet protocols for unicast and multicast services, given the address assignment used in the Internet. By means of an extensive simulation study, we determine the range of parameters for which the overhead costs(delay, state, and network load) of our service are comparable to those of the Internet.

In search and rescue mission, micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) are typically used to capture image and video from an aerial perspective and transfer the data to the ground station. Because of the power limitation, a cluster of MAVs are required for a large search area, hence an ad-hoc wireless network must be maintained to transfer data more conveniently and fast. However, the unstable link and the intermittent connectivity between the MAVs caused by MAVs' movement may challenge the packet forwarding. This paper proposes a delay tolerant packet forwarding algorithm based on location estimation for MAV networks, called DTN_est algorithm. In the algorithm, ferrying MAVs are used to transmit data between MAVs and the ground station, and the locations of both searching MAVs and ferrying MAVs are estimated to compute the distances between the MAVs and destination. The MAV that is closest to the destination is selected greedy to forward packet. If a MAV cannot find the next hop MAV using the greedy strategy, the packets will be stored and re-forwarded once again in the next time slot. The experiment results show that the proposed DTN_est algorithm outperforms the typical DTN_geo algorithm in terms of packet delivery ratio and average routing hops.

A vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) consists of vehicles that form a network without any additional infrastructure, thus allowing the vehicles to communicate with each other. VANETs have unique characteristics, including high node mobility and rapidly changing network topology. Because of these characteristics, routing algorithms based on greedy forwarding such as greedy perimeter stateless routing (GPSR) are known to be very suitable for a VANET. However, greedy forwarding just selects the node nearest to the destination node as a relay node within its transmission range. This increases the possibility of a local maximum and link loss because of the high mobility of vehicles and the road characteristics in urban areas. Therefore, this paper proposes a reliability-improving position-based routing (RIPR) algorithm to solve those problems. The RIPR algorithm predicts the positions, velocities, and moving directions of vehicles after receiving beacon messages, and estimates information about road characteristics to select the relay node. Thus, it can reduce the possibility of getting a local maximum and link breakage. Simulation results using ns-2 revealed that the proposed routing protocol performs much better than the existing routing protocols based on greedy forwarding.

Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a host-based protocol supporting global mobility while Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is a network-based protocol supporting localized mobility. This paper makes its focus on how to reduce the longer delay and extra cost arising from the combination of authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) and PMIPv6 further. Firstly, a novel authentication scheme (Proxy-AAA) is proposed, which supports fast handover mode and forwarding mode between different local mobility anchors (LMAs). Secondly, a cost analysis model is established based on Proxy-AAA. From the theoretical analysis, it could be noted that the cost is affected by average arrival rate and residence time.

In distributed HLR environment, the pointer forwarding with distributed HLR(Pointer Forwarding Scheme) has been proposed for eliminating the cost of updating multiple HLRs. In Pointer Forwarding Scheme, the find cost can be changed according to from which HLR a call originates. If a user changes PCS registration areas frequently, but receives calls relatively infrequently, and call for such a user originates from any other HLRs than the recently updated HLR, many VLRs should be traversed in order to find that user. In this paper, location tracking with jumping pointer in distributed HLR(Jumping Pointer Scheme) is proposed. The jumping pointer can be connected between the recently updated VLR and the VLR in which the mobile host currently resides. In case of call delivery, the mobile host can be found sooner by using the jumping pointer. In terms of 'find' cost, Jumping Pointer scheme improves about 17% over Forwarding Pointer scheme. Otherwise, Jumping Pointer scheme takes additional update charge in order to manage the jumping pointer. However the total costs of 'find' cost and 'update' cost for Jumping Pointer scheme are cheaper than them for Forwarding Pointer scheme when call-to-mobility ratio is smaller.

Underwater Wireless Sensors Networks (UWSNs) are deployed in remotely monitored environment such as water level monitoring, ocean current identification, oil detection, habitat monitoring and numerous military applications. Providing scalable and efficient routing is very challenging in UWSNs due to the harsh underwater environment. The biggest difficulties are the nodes inherent movement due to water current, long delay in data transmission, low bandwidth of the acoustic signal, high error rate and energy scarcity in battery powered nodes. Many routing protocols have been proposed to solve the aforementioned problems. There are three broad categories of routing protocols namely depth based, energy based and vector-based routing. Vector Based Forwarding protocols perform routing through virtual pipeline by defining their radius which give proper direction to packets communication. We proposed a routing protocol termed as Path-Oriented Energy Scaled Expanded Vector Based Forwarding (PESEVBF). PESEVBF takes into account all parameters; holding time, the source nodes packets routing path and void holes creation on the second hop; PESEVBF not only considers the packet upward advancement but also focus on density of the forwarded nodes in terms of number of potential forwarding and suppressed nodes for path selection. Node selection in resultant holding time is based on minimum Path Factor (PF) value. Moreover, the suppressed node will be selected for packet forwarding to avoid the void holes occurrences on the second hop. Performance of PESEVBF is compared with other routing protocols using matrices such as energy consumption, packet delivery ratio, packets dropping ratio and duplicate packets creation indicating considerable performance improvement.

In this paper, we present a new mechanism applying more strict priority than RIO mechanism proposed as a drop precedence policy of AF classes in differentiated services. In this mechanism, applying strict priority to drop precedence policy, we get better performance on priority level. Simulation results indicate that the proposed mechanism may provide more efficient and more strict priority transmissions as compared to RIO regardless of traffic load.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can easily compromised from attackers because it has the limited resource and deployed in exposed environments. When the sensitive packets are occurred such as enemy's movement or fire alarm, attackers can selectively drop them using a compromised node. It brings the isolation between the basestation and the sensor fields. To detect selective forwarding attack, Xiao, Yu and Gao proposed checkpoint-based multi-hop acknowledgement scheme (CHEMAS). The check-point nodes are used to detect the area which generating selective forwarding attacks. However, CHEMAS has static probability of selecting check-point nodes. It cannot achieve the flexibility to coordinate between the detection ability and the energy consumption. In this paper, we propose the control method for the number fo check-point nodes. Through the control method, we can achieve the flexibility which can provide the sufficient detection ability while conserving the energy consumption.

Generally, sensor nodes can be easily compromised and seized by an adversary because sensor nodes are hostile environments after dissemination. An adversary may be various security attacks into the networks using compromised node. False data injection attack using compromised node, it may not only cause false alarms, but also the depletion of the severe amount of energy waste. Dynamic en-route scheme for Filtering False Data Injection (DEF) can detect and drop such forged report during the forwarding process. In this scheme, each forwarding nodes verify reports using a regular probability. In this paper, we propose verification probability adjustment scheme of forwarding nodes though a fuzzy rule-base system for the Dynamic en-route filtering scheme for Filtering False Data Injection in sensor networks. Verification probability determination of forwarding nodes use false traffic rate and distance form source to base station.
