TL;DR: In this article, a mesh routing method for beacon-enabled wireless AD-HOC networks is proposed, which includes: broadcasting, by nodes constituting a wireless ad-hoc network, a beacon message loading neighbor node information on a beacon payload; managing, by a node receiving the broadcasted beacon message, its own neighbor node table by extracting the neighbor nodes information loaded on the beacon payload.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a protocol for applying IPv6 in WSNs, where a coordinator, a gateway, and a transmission method for application IPv6 are provided.

TL;DR: In this article, a low power routing method using a reservation scheme and an apparatus for performing the time synchronization method are provided, where a first synchronization request command packet from a parent node manages time synchronization for a predetermined synchronization region.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method and apparatus for connecting a sensor network to a heterogeneous network, in which an external network connected to the sensor network functions as a virtual personal area network (PAN) so that the same PAN address system is used between the sensor networks and the external networks by using a concept of a virtual PAN.

TL;DR: The proposed algorithm, the Energy-aware Multipath Routing Algorithm (EMRA), adjusts traffic flows via a novel load balancing scheme and has a higher average node energy efficiency, lower control overhead, and a shorter average delay than those of well-known previous works.
