Byoungheon Shin is a Ph.D. student at the Computer Science Department in KAIST. His research interest is networking architectures in wireless ad-hoc networks. He has been working on multi-radio routing protocols which monitors the change of network status and dynamically reconfigures routing parameters in order to increase the throughput and decrease the end-to-end delay. He is currently studying application-aware network virtualization in mobile ad-hoc networks to support multiple types of applications in terms of their requirements at the same time. He received a MS degree in computer science in KAIST by research on Interference-Aware Link-Quality Based Routing Protocol in Multi-Radio Mobile Ad Hoc Networks in 2010.


Title: Application-Aware Self-Reconfigurable Routing Support for Multi-Radio MANET Protocols

Abstract:
Dynamic reconfiguration of routes in multi-radio mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) utilizes link quality metrics. Since more diverse types of applications will be running over a MANET, the route reconfiguration scheme should be aware of application characteristics and requirements. We propose an application-aware self-reconfiguration scheme for multi-radio routing protocols that supports a distinguished route reconfiguration for each application type. The detection of a deteriorated link and the selection of an alternative link are done separately based on application types and the bandwidth requirement. Preliminary simulation results with two typical application types in a multi-radio MANET shows the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
