In recent years, researchers have been attracted to clustering methods to improve communication and data transmission in a network. Compared with traditional wireless networks, wireless sensor networks are energy constrained and have lower data rates. The concept of implementing a clustering algorithm in an existing project on gateway relocation is being explored here. Low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) is applied to an existing study on relocating a gateway. The study is further improved by moving the gateway to a specific cluster based on the number or significance of the events detected. The protocol is improved so that each cluster head can communicate with a mobile gateway. The cluster heads are the only nodes that can communicate with the mobile gateway when it (the mobile gateway) is out of the cluster nodes' transmission range. Once the gateway is in range, the nodes will begin their transmission of real-time data. This alleviates the load of the nodes that would be located closest to the gateway if it were static.

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.

This paper investigates protocol architecture for a web-sensor gateway interconnecting internet and wireless sensor network, in which Zigbee sensors are connected over the IEEE802.15.4 communication protocol standard. The web-sensor gateway is to deliver data between TCP/IP and Zigbee/IEEE802.15.4 protocols, transparently. Since the gateway provides a means to remotely control and aggregate sensor data over the internet, it needs to be designed in the view point of users and in their convenience. In accordance, the common gateway interface technology satisfying users on the web browser to efficiently manage and query the sensors in the wireless sensor networks, ubiquitously, is also introduced. Finally, a simulation prototype for the web-sensor gateway is proposed and verified using OPNET simulation tool.

This paper is concerned with a performance analysis using a wired/wireless gateway based on DeviceNet. For the performance analysis, the data transmission time between DeviceNet and the wireless devices is investigated and analyzed. The experimental results show the perfom1ance in terms of the polling/COS service time and end-to-end delay.

무선인터넷은 이동 단말기를 통해 무선으로 인터넷에 접속하여 데이터 통신이나 인터넷 서비스를 제공받을 수 있는 네트워크이다. 무선 접속망과 유선 인터넷의 다른 두 네트워크를 효율적으로 연동하기 위해서는 프로토콜 전환 시스템인 WAP게이트웨이가 필요하다. 무선인터넷 서비스를 안정적이고 비용 효율적으로 제공하기 위해서는 적절한 게이트웨이 시스템 용량산출이 필요하고 시설투자의 경제성을 획득하기 위해서는 트래픽 모델링 및 예측을 포함한 트래픽 엔지니어링 기법이 필요하다. 기존의 용량산출 기법은 직관적이고 정성적인 방식을 탈피하지 못했으나 본 논문에서는 보다 정량적이며 해석적으로 WAP 서비스에서 트래픽 기술 파라미터 정의하고 트래픽 예측 기법에 근거한 용량산출 기법을 다룬다.

In existing wireless ad-hoc networks, how to distribute network resources fairly between many users to optimize data transmission is an important research subject. However, in wireless mesh networks (WMNs), it is one of the research areas to avoid gateway bottleneck more than the fair network resource sharing. It is because WMN traffic are concentrated on the gateway connected to backhaul. To solve this problem, the paper proposes Weighted Fairness Time-sharing Access (WFTA). The proposed WFTA is a priority time scheduling scheme based on Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ).

In this paper, we propose an energy monitoring and management service based on wireless sensors and a home gateway for homes and buildings. Homes and buildings have a significant energy saving potential compared with other sectors. Sensing, monitoring, and managing of the information on the energy consumption are required for an efficient energy saving service. The proposed system is composed of two main components, wireless sensor and an intelligent home gateway. Wireless sensors have the ZigBee communication interface for communication, and the intelligent home gateway is an energy portal. We expect that energy saving could be achieved with this system. As a further work, we will analyze the practical impact of the proposed service.

Zigbee는 무선 센서 네트워크 환경에 최적화된 무선 통신 기술 중의 하나이다. 무선 센서 네트워크에서 게이트웨이는 센서 노드들을 제어하고 송수신된 데이터를 전송하는데 사용된다. 하지만 고정된 형태의 게이트웨이는 무선 센서 네트워크의 유연성을 제한한다. 고성능 프로세서가 탐재된 스마트폰과 안드로이드 OS를 이용하면 쉽게 스마트폰을 모바일 게이트웨이로 사용할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 안드로이드 스마트폰을 이용한 모바일 게이트웨이를 제안하였다. 제안한 시스템에서 Zigbee 통신 모듈은 USB 포트를 이용하여 스마트폰과 연결된다. 또한 모바일 게이트웨이를 위한 안드로이드 어플리케이션도 구현하였다.

최근 무선 인터넷 서비스를 위한 다양한 기반기술이 연구되고 있으며, WAP(Wireless Application Protocol) 포럼에서는 기존의 유선인터넷 프로토콜과 무선 WAP 프로토콜간의 상호변환을 담당하는 WAP 게이트웨이를 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 제한적인 환경을 가지는 이동무선통신망에서의 효율향상을 위한 방법의 일환으로써, WAP 게이트웨이를 위한 에이전트들을 설계하고 구현하였다. WAP 게이트웨이 에이전트들인 CSA(Client Side Agent)와 SSA(Sewer Side Agent)는 이동 WAP 단말기와 WAP 게이트웨이에 각각 위치하며, 패킷 헤더 데이터축소와 데이터 차이분석을 통한 데이터축소 방법들을 이용하여 이동무선통신 환경에서의 통신효율을 향상시킨다 구현된 에이전트들이 제대로 동작된다는 것을 입증하기 위하여 Phone.com의 인터넷폰 에뮬레이터를 사용하였다. 실험 결과, WAP 게이트웨이만을 이용한 데이터 전송량에 비하여, 본 논문에서 구현한 에이전트들을 이용하면 데이터 전송량을 $20\%$ 내지 $35\%$가량 줄일 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

When supporting both voice and TCP in a wireless multihop network, there are two conflicting goals: to protect the VoIP traffic, and to completely utilize the remaining capacity for TCP. We investigate the interaction between these two popular categories of traffic and find that conventional solution approaches, such as enhanced TCP variants, priority queues, bandwidth limitation, and traffic shaping do not always achieve the goals. TCP and VoIP traffic do not easily coexist because of TCP aggressiveness and data burstiness, and the (self-) interference nature of multihop traffic. We found that enhanced TCP variants fail to coexist with VoIP in the wireless multihop scenarios. Surprisingly, even priority schemes, including those built into the MAC such as RTS/CTS or 802.11e generally cannot protect voice, as they do not account for the interference outside communication range. We present VAGP (Voice Adaptive Gateway Pacer) - an adaptive bandwidth control algorithm at the access gateway that dynamically paces wired-to-wireless TCP data flows based on VoIP traffic status. VAGP continuously monitors the quality of VoIP flows at the gateway and controls the bandwidth used by TCP flows before entering the wireless multihop. To also maintain utilization and TCP performance, VAGP employs TCP specific mechanisms that suppress certain retransmissions across the wireless multihop. Compared to previous proposals for improving TCP over wireless multihop, we show that VAGP retains the end-to-end semantics of TCP, does not require modifications of endpoints, and works in a variety of conditions: different TCP variants, multiple flows, and internet delays, different patterns of interference, different multihop topologies, and different traffic patterns.
