Vehicular communication is one of main convergence technologies which combines information and communication technology (ICT) with vehicle and road industries. In general, vehicular communication adopts IEEE 802.11p standard which is commonly referred as wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE). In this paper, we investigate a multi-hop communication scheme for IEEE 802.11p based communication systems which support both vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications. First, we briefly overview the performance of IEEE 802.11p based communication systems. Then, a multi-hop communication scheme is introduced for both broadcast and unicast. The performance of proposed scheme is presented via experimental measurements.

Relay system is a promising technique for the high downlink throughput or coverage extension in the next generation wireless systems. In this paper, the transmit scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based relay system with hierarchical modulation is designed. Without using much power from the base station, the proposed scheme can guarantee the cell edge users to get high data rates as the inner cell users. In the simulation, the performance of proposed scheme was compared with the conventional one in which there is no hierarchical modulation. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme can save much power whether the unicast case or multicast case.

In current IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN, every unicast transmission requires an ACK from the receiver for reliability, though it consumes energy and bandwidth. There have been studies to remove or reduce ACK overhead, especially for energy efficiency. However none of them are practically used now. This paper introduces a noble method of selective unacknowledged transmission, where skipping an ACK is dynamically decided frame by frame. Utilizing the fact that a multicast frame is transmitted without accompanying an ACK in 802.11, the basic unacknowledged transmission is achieved simply by transforming the destination address of a frame to a multicast address. Since removing ACK is inherently more efficient but less strict, its practical profit is dependent on traffic characteristics of a frame as well as network error conditions. To figure out the selective conditions, energy and performance implications of unacknowledged transmission have been explored. Extensive experiments show that energy consumption is almost always reduced, but performance may be dropped especially when TCP exchanges long data with a long distance node through a poor wireless link. An experiment with a well-known traffic model shows that selective unacknowledged transmission gives energy saving with comparable performance.

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks are considered as special kind of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. VANETs are a new emerging recently developed, advanced technology that allows a wide set of applications related to providing more safety on roads, more convenience for passengers, self-driven vehicles, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) are networks that allow communication in the event of connection problems, such as delays, intermittent connections, high error rates, and so on. Moreover, these are used in areas that may not have end-to-end connectivity. The expansion from DTN to VANET resulted in Vehicle Delay Tolerant Networks (VDTN). In this approach, a vehicle stores and carries a message in its buffer, and when the opportunity arises, it forwards the message to another node. Carry-store-forward mechanisms, packets in VDTNs can be delivered to the destination without clear connection between the transmitter and the receiver. The primary goals of routing protocols in VDTNs is to maximize the probability of delivery ratio to the destination node, while minimizing the total end-to-end delay. DTNs are used in a variety of operating environments, including those that are subject to failures and interruptions, and those with high delay, such as vehicle ad hoc networks (VANETs). This paper discusses DTN routing protocols belonging to unicast delay tolerant position based. The comparison was implemented using the NS2 simulator. Simulation of the three DTN routing protocols GeOpps, GeoSpray, and MaxProp is recorded, and the results are presented.

최근 IEEE 802.11 WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network)에서 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스가 증가하고 있다. WLAN 의 패킷 전송방식은 Unicast 또는 Broadcast 방식이 있다. Unicast 방식은 재전송을 포함하여 유실율이 적으나 사용자가 증가할수록 AP 에서 필요한 무선 자원의 크기가 증가한다. 무선 자원의 크기가 증가하면 AP 부하가 증가하여 서비스 수용에 한계가 있다. Broadcast 방식은 사용자 수에 상관 없이 무선 자원의 크기가 일정하나, 패킷 유실율이 높다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 Broadcast 와 FEC(Forward Error Correction) Erasure Code 기반 기술을 적용하는 것을 제안한다. 방송 패킷을 이용 AP 의 부하를 줄이고, Reed Solomon Erasure Code 를 적용하여 패킷 유실 복구율을 높인다. 이러한 방법을 통하여 다수의 사용자에게 안정적인 실시간 멀티미디어 방송 서비스를 제공 할 수 있다. 제안한 방법을 검증하기 위해 Android Platform 에서 FEC 적용 유무에 따른 수신율을 측정하였다. 그 결과 유실율 30%미만인 Broadcast 환경에서 96.4% 이상의 수신율을 보였다.

Compared with unicast, multicast over wireless ad-hoc networks do not support reliability due to their inability to exchange request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) and ACK packets with multiple recipients. Although several media access control (MAC) layer protocols have been proposed to provide reliable multicast, these introduce additional overhead, which degrades system performance. A novel MAC protocol for reliable wireless multicast is proposed in this paper. By adapting orthogonal frequency division multiple access characteristics in CTS and ACK packets, the protocol achieves reliability over wireless multicast with minimized overhead.

This paper proposes a sound multicast packet-switching method which can less affect QoS degradation. The method includes a switch fabric with extra switching paths dedicated for multicast packets. Presented also are both a buffering structure and a scheduling algorithm for the proposed method. Simulation analysis for the method shows that the switching delay of unicast packets is decreased even though arrival rate of multicast packets is increased.

Tree-shaped broadcasting system 은 기본적으로는 unicast server client model 에 기반을 둔다. 현재 multicast 에 대한 논의가 많이 이루어지고 있음에도 불구하고 실제적으로 적용을 하기에는 여러 가지 부담이 따르는 것이 사실이다. 따라서 기존의 조건에서 실시간 데이터 서비스를 하기 위한 방법을 제시한다.

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 this paper, we formulate the minimum power multicast problem in wireless networks as a mixed integer linear programming problem and then propose a Lagrangean relaxation based algorithm to solve this problem. By leveraging on the information from the Lagrangean multiplier, we could construct more power efficient routing paths. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the existing approaches for broadcast, multicast, and unicast communications.
