Abstract

The reliability of wireless body area networks is an important research issue since it may jeopardize the vital human life, unless managed properly. In this article, a new modeling and analysis of node misbehaviors in wireless body area networks is presented, in the presence of multi-type failures. First, the nodes are classified into types in accordance with routing capability. Then, the node behavior in the presence of failures such as energy exhaustion and/or malicious attacks has been modeled using a novel Semi-Markov process. The proposed model is very useful in analyzing reliability of WBANs in the presence of multi-type failures.

무선 신체망 (WBAN: Wireless Body Area Network)은 생체 신호를 검출하고 전송하기 때문에 인간의 생명과 직결되어 있다 그러므로 무선 신체망은 다른 망과 비교해 망의 신뢰성이 극도로 높아야 하기 때문에 이 신뢰성과 관련된 연구가 매우 중요한 분야로 부각되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중 오류 (multi-type failures) 가 발생한 무선 신체 망에서 노드의 오동작들에 대해 분석하고 오동작 분석에 대한 새로운 모델을 제시한다. 오동작 모델링을 위해, 각 노드들을 라우팅 기능의 유무에 따라 분류하고, 노드의 에너지가 완전 소비되었거나 노드가 악의적인 공격에 의해 오류가 발생되었을 경우 각 노드들의 동작을 세미 마르코프 프로세스 (Semi-Markov Process)를 이용하여 모델링하였다. 본 논문에서 제시된 모델은 다중 오류 (multi-type failures) 환경에서 무선신체망의 신뢰성 분석에 매우 유용하다.
