Due to the rapid growth of Software-Defined Networks, we can manage network traffic easier than before. One of the major issues on SDN is the multipath routing protocols due to its complexity of optimum path selection among the multiple routes. In this paper, we focus on Multipath TCP (MPTCP). MPTCP is an extension of TCP that increases the throughput of TCP communication significantly by utilizing...
Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANET) mean wireless networks where communication terminals in VANETs do not necessarily require infrastructures to communicate with each other. To provide Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) services in VANETs, there are lots of issues about network performances for several application types. In particular, if applications need stable link-status, there are lots of...
WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) has a wide range of applications. As a result, security problems become increasingly important. We investigate the problem of minimising the failure rate of packet delivery in the presence of the modification attacks and the selective forwarding attacks in a static WSN with one base station without using expensive encryption/decryption algorithms. We propose a novel heuristic...
As an application of interlaced bypass torus (iBT) interconnection networks, a 6D mesh/iBT network has been formed by replacing the 3D torus network in a 6D mesh/torus interconnect (Tofu) with a 3D iBT network, helping further reduce latencies. However, the routing algorithms good for the torus-based systems such as Blue Gene series may deadlock for the new network. This work proposes three deadlock-free...
A new 6D mesh/torus (Tofu) interconnect is implemented in the K Computer for achieving a performance of more than 10 petaflops. As expected, among its many interesting properties, such interconnect has large variations of latencies for communications within a node-group (intra-node-group) or between them (inter-node-group). Inspired by their works while recognizing the superior features of the recently...
For sensor networks, the extension of operating time by controlling power consumption is an important research subject. In a receiver-driven communication protocol, a receiver node transmits its ID to the sender node periodically, and in response the sender node sends an acknowledgment. The average power consumption of the network can be controlled, but a part of the network shuts down when the battery...
How to design the next-generation Internet is an open technique issue. One of the mainstream ideas is to enhance network routers with application-oriented intelligence. For example, firewalls,Web proxies/caches, mobile gateways, and multicast capable nodes are equipments with application-oriented intelligence for security/performance enhancement. However, there is no systematic study on what intelligence...
Opportunistic routing has gained much attention in recent years as a means of leveraging the broadcast nature of wireless medium. Most of the previous studies focused only on improving throughput, assuming that Best Effort traffic which is delay insensitive is delivered through opportunistic routing. However, when the delay sensitive traffic is involved, it is necessary to consider both the opportunistic...
In this paper, we proposed a long-life, shortest path routing method for interval-vehicle communication. Firstly, we form the inter-vehicle network into the layered network to construct the shortest path. Next, we deduce the link with maximal lifetime between two directly linked vehicles according to their velocities and moving directions. Furthermore, the lifetime of one hop neighbors is propagated...
In this paper, a general framework, called probability-based solution (PBS), is proposed to balance the trade-off between the accessibility (in terms of the success probability to find a route reaching the destination) and the performance (in terms of spectral efficiency, outage probability or energy consumption) of distributed routing schemes in multi-hop wireless networks. In the PBS, the candidate...
Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networks (DNTs) enables nodes to communicate by means of asynchronous sending messages without the need for an end-to-end path. In this paper, we study the problem of multicasting in DTNs. Several schemes have been proposed for multicast routing assuming the group of message receivers is known by sender, and the group members do not change during the process of message delivery...
Inter-vehicle communications (IVC) based on mobile ad hoc networks have attracted increasing attention of researchers recently. In this paper, we study the communication performance of IVC networks in multilane dynamic traffic streams. We are concerned with the influence of several traffic factors on multilane communications, such as vehicles' high mobility, traffic directions or relative speed, and...
We propose multicast extensions to the flow oriented routing protocol (M-FORP) and node velocity based stable path (M-NVSP) routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks. M-FORP predicts the link expiration time and connects the source to each of the multicast receivers through paths with the largest predicted expiration time. M-NVSP connects the source to each of the multicast receivers through paths...
The protocol independent multicast - sparse mode (PIM-SM) is a multicast routing protocol that uses one center (which we refer to as the rendezvous point ??RP??) for all transmitters in a multicast group. It builds source-specific trees to the transmitters whose data rates exceed a defined threshold. Investigations are done to improve and provide an efficient mechanism for switching between the shared-based...
Mobile nodes in some challenging network scenarios suffer from intermittent connectivity and frequent partitions e.g. battlefield and disaster recovery scenarios. Disruption tolerant network (DTN) technologies are designed to enable nodes in such environments to communicate with one another. In the past, we have proposed two intradomain multicast routing schemes, namely the context-aware multicast...
Some ad hoc network scenarios are characterized by frequent partitions and intermittent connectivity. Hence, existing adhoc routing schemes which assume the existence of end-to-end paths do not work in such challenging networks. Disruption tolerant networking (DTN) technology has been designed for such challenging network environments. Several unicast and multicast routing schemes have been designed...
In this paper, we propose an anycast mechanism which can adaptively choose the best next-hop to forward packets during the announcement traffic indication map (ATIM) window of multi-channel medium access control (MMAC) protocol. In order to improve the performance of networks by reducing transmission retries and packet drop probabilities, we also propose a multipath extension of AODV routing protocol...
Opportunistic routing (OR) schemes, such as ExOR, have been shown to provide significant throughput gains over traditional best-path routing schemes for wireless networks. Though the performance of OR schemes depend on the bit-rate, they currently use a fixed rate for transmitting packets. While several schemes have been proposed for selecting bit-rate for unicast transmission to a single receiver,...
In classical routing strategies for multihop mobile wireless networks packets are routed on a pre-defined route usually obtained by a shortest path routing protocol. In opportunistic routing schemes, for each packet and each hop, the next relay is found by dynamically selecting the node that captures the packet transmission and which is the nearest to the destination. Such a scheme allows each packet...
This paper proposes a fast forward medium access control protocol (FFMAC) for quality-of-service (QoS) guarantee in multihop IEEE 802.11s wireless mesh networks with multiple channels. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed protocol is the first one which considers the multihop and multichannel issues simultaneously. It provides higher priority for real-time applications, while remaining the distributed...
