| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
My research leverages the potential power of TCP/NC (Transmission Control Protocol with Network Coding) and its tunneling technique to cope with the diverse and dynamic conditions of end-to-end data transfer in IoT. In the last fiscal year, I finished three research following.
(1) I proposed the methods to improve the performance of TCP/NC in a complex environment where having the packet loss in both directions (sending and receiving) and the packet reordering.
(2) And I also proposed the buffer management mechanism for TCP/NC tunneling system for work well with high fairness on network congestion condition.
(3) Finally, I applied the TCP/NC on the simple PLC (Power-Line Communication) network to evaluate its characterizes in a practical environment.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
I finished three targets listed on the previously submitted application form. There are (1) improve the TCP/NC tunneling on network congestion. (2) Survey the affecting of the narrow-bandwidth link to TCP/NC. And (3) improve the TCP/NC to work well on the narrow-bandwidth link.
I presented my studies on two international and two domestic conferences while I planed only one international conference.
I miss one target which submitting one international Journal in the first fiscal year. However, I will improve the manuscript to submit my studies right in the first quarter of the next fiscal year.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the first two months of the 2019 fiscal year, Principal Investigator (PI) will focus on implementing an appropriate network congestion control in complex networks such as PLC (Power Line Communication).
In the next six months, the prospective issues to address will include a modest redundancy control on narrow bandwidth links in LPWA (Low Power Wireless Area) networks, a fast-dynamic adaptation to rapid changes of conditions in VANET (Vehicle Ad-Hoc Network).
Finally, an experimental evaluation of the developed intelligent gateway system will be conducted for PLC and LPWA by a prototype implementation on Linux in the last four months to demonstrate the feasibility.
An experimental evaluation on VANET will remain as a future study due to a limited time.
