센서 네트워크를 위한 표준인 IEEE802.15.4는 저전력, 저속 데이터 통신이 특징으로 주로 ZigBee 네트워크와 같은 Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)를 구성하기 위해 사용하고 있다. 그러나 최근 센서 네트워크 기반의 음성통신과 Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)를 연동하여 장거리 및 대규모 사용자를 지원하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크 기반의 음성통신과 SIP를 연동하여 다수 사용자 지원하고 기존 시스템을 하나의 통합 Base Station으로 설계하였다. 또한, 설계한 Base Station의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 사용자수 증가에 따른 Packet 수와 Delay를 측정하였다.

The dynamic nature of opportunistic networks results in long delays, low rates of success for deliveries, etc. As such user experience is limited, and the further development of opportunistic networks is constrained. This paper proposes a prediction-based routing method for opportunistic networks (PB-OppNet). Firstly, using an ARIMA model, PB-OppNet describes the historical contact information between a node pair as a time series to predict the average encounter time interval of the node pair. Secondly, using an optimal stopping rule, PB-OppNet obtains a threshold for encounter time intervals as forwarding utility. Based on this threshold, a node can easily make decisions of stopping observing, or delivering messages when potential forwarding nodes enter its communication range. It can also report different encounter time intervals to the destination node. With the threshold, PB-OppNet can achieve a better compromise of forwarding utility and waiting delay, so that delivery delay is minimized. The simulation experiment result presented here shows that PB-OppNet is better than existing methods in prediction accuracy for links, delivery delays, delivery success rates, etc.

Vehicular-to-anything (V2X) technology is attractive for wireless vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) because it allows for opportunistic choice of a vehicular protocol between vehicular-to-vehicular (V2V) and vehicular-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. In particular, achieving seamless connectivity in a VANET with nearby network infrastructure is challenging. In this paper, we propose a density-based opportunistic broadcasting (DOB) protocol, in which opportunistic connectivity is carried out by using the nearby infrastructure and opposite vehicles for solving the problems of disconnection and long end-to-end delay times. The performance evaluation results indicate that the proposed DOB protocol outperforms the considered comparative conventional schemes, i.e., the shortest path protocol and standard mobile WiMAX, in terms of the average end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio, handover latency, and number of lost packets.

Future Ground Control Stations (GCSs) for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) teleoperation targets better situational awareness by providing extra motion cues to stimulate the vestibular system. This paper proposes a new virtual environment for long range Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) control via Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) communications, which is based on motion platforms. It generates motion cues for the teleoperator for extra sensory stimulation to enhance the guidance performance. The proposed environment employs the distributed component simulation over GSM network as a simulation platform. GSM communications are utilized as a multi-hop communication network, which is similar to global satellite communications. It considers a UAV mathematical model and wind turbulence effects to simulate a realistic UAV dynamics. Moreover, the proposed virtual environment simulates a Multiple Axis Rotating Device (MARD) as Human Machine Interface (HMI) device to provide a complete delay analysis. The demonstrated measurements cover Graphical User Interface (GUI) capabilities, NLoS GSM communications delay, MARD performance, and different software workload. The proposed virtual environment succeeded to provide visual and vestibular feedbacks for teleoperators via GSM networks. The overall system performance is acceptable relative to other Line-of-Sight (LoS) systems, which promises a good potential for future long range, medium altitude UAV teleoperation researches.

Data compression at the transport layer could both reduce transmitted bytes over network links and increase the transmitted application data (TCP PDU) in one RTT at the same network conditions. Therefore, it is able to improve transmission efficiency on Internet, especially on the networks with limited bandwidth or long delay links. In this paper, we propose an on-the-fly TCP data compression scheme, i.e., the TCPComp, to enhance TCP performance. This scheme is primarily composed of the compression decision mechanism and the compression ratio estimation algorithm. When the application data arrives at the transport layer, the compression decision mechanism is applied to determine which data block could be compressed. The compression ratio estimation algorithm is employed to predict compression ratios of upcoming application data for determining the proper size of the next data block so as to maximize compression efficiency. Furthermore, the assessment criteria for TCP data compression scheme are systematically developed. Experimental results show that the scheme can effectively reduce transmitted TCP segments and bytes, leading to greater transmission efficiency compared with the standard TCP and other TCP compression schemes.

Intelligent services have expanded as Internet of Things (IoT) technology has evolved and new requirements emerge to accommodate various services. One new requirement is transmitting data over long distances with low-power. Researchers have developed low power wide area (LPWA) network technology to satisfy the requirement; this can improve IoT network infrastructure and increase the range of services. However, network coverage expansion causes several problems. The traffic load is concentrated at a specific gateway, which causes network congestion and leads to decreased transmission efficiency. Therefore, the approach proposed in this paper attempts to recognize and then avoid congestion through gateway channel hopping. The LPWA network employs multiple channels, so wireless channel hopping is available in a gateway. Devices that are not delay sensitive wait for the gateway to reappear on their wireless channel; delay sensitive devices change the wireless channel along the hopping gateway. Thus, the traffic load and congestion in each wireless channel can be reduced improving transmission efficiency. The proposed approach's performance is evaluated by computer simulation and verified in terms of transmission efficiency.

A novel converged optical network unit (ONU)-base station (BS) architecture has been contemplated for next-generation optical-wireless networks. It has been demonstrated through high quality studies that data traffic carried by both wired and wireless networks exhibit self-similar and long range dependent characteristics; attributes that classical teletraffic theory based on simplistic Poisson models fail to capture. Therefore, in order to apprehend the proposed converged architecture and to reinforce the provisioning of tightly bound quality of service (QoS) parameters to end-users, we substantiate the analysis of the QoS behavior of the ONU-BS under self-similar and long range dependent traffic conditions using custom queuing which is a common queuing discipline. This paper extends our previous work on priority queuing and brings novelty in terms of presenting performance analysis of the converged ONU-BS under realistic traffic load conditions. Further, the presented analysis can be used as a network planning and optimization tool to select the most robust and appropriate queuing discipline for the ONU-BS relevant to the QoS requirements of different applications.

본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크에서 에너지 효율적인 싱크노드 기반의 MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안되는 싱크 노드 기반 MAC 프로토콜(Sink node-Based MAC: SB-MAC)은 송신자 노드의 에너지 소모를 줄이고 전송 지연을 감소시키기 위해 RB (rapid beacon) 프레임이 사용된다. RB 프레임은 IEEE 802.15.4의 비콘 프레임의 수정된 형태이다. RB 프레임에 포함된 전송 노드의 데이터 길이 정보를 이용하여, 데이터 전송에 참여하지 않는 다른 노드들이 오랫동안 sleep 모드에 머물게 함으로써 에너지 소모를 줄일 수 있다. 이를 통하여 기존의 X-MAC 및 RI-MAC 프로토콜들에 비해 데이터 전송 지연 및 에너지 소모 면에서 더 좋은 성능을 가진다. SB-MAC 프로토콜은 하나의 싱크노드와 다수의 송신 노드들로 구성되어 있는 네트워크 환경에 에너지 효율적인 프로토콜이다.

As the new requirements for wireless sensor networks are emerging, real-time communications is becoming a major research challenge because resource-constrained sensor nodes are not powerful enough to accommodate the complexity of the protocol. In addition, an efficient energy management scheme has naturally been a concern in wireless sensor networks for a long time. However, the existing schemes are limited to meeting one of these two requirements. To address the two factors together, we propose real-time communications with two approaches, a protocol for satisfied conditions and one for unsatisfied. Under the satisfied requirement, existing real-time protocol is employed. On the other hand, for the unsatisfied requirement, the newly developed scheme replaces the existing scheme by adjusting the transmission range of some surplus nodes. By expanding the transmission range, the end-to-end delay is shortened because the number of intermediate nodes decreases. These nodes conserve their energy for real-time communications by avoiding other activities such as sensing, forwarding, and computing. Finally, simulation results are given to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme in high traffic environments.

LTE(Long Term Evolution)는 3GPP(Third Generation Partnership Project)에서 표준화 작업을 진행 중인 차세대 이동통신 기술이다. LTE에서는 기존의 이동통신망이 회선 교환 네트워크를 통해 음성 트래픽을 전달하는 것과는 달리 IP 기반의 패킷 교환 네트워크를 통해 모든 종류의 트래픽을 전달하기 때문에 다양한 서비스에 대한 QoS(Quality of Service) 보장이 어렵다. LTE 시스템에서 사용자의 QoS를 제공하기 위해서 RRM(Radio Resource Management)이 매우 중요하며, 특히 RRM의 한 부분인 호 수락 제어 기능은 기존에 수락된 호들의 QoS를 유지하고 네트워크 혼잡 상황을 방지하는 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 LTE 시스템에서 제공하는 다양한 서비스들의 QoS를 보장하기 위한 호 수락 제어 알고리즘을 제안하고 모의실험을 통하여 성능 평가를 수행한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 채널 및 네트워크의 상황을 반영하여 요청 호의 일부를 거절함으로써 과도한 호로 인한 네트워크 혼잡 상황을 방지함과 동시에 사용자의 QoS를 만족시킬 수 있다. 특히 제안한 호 수락 제어 알고리즘은 각 서비스 종류에 대하여 LTE 표준에서 요구하고 있는 최대 허용 패킷 지연을 만족시킬 수 있다.
