In this paper, an energy efficient clustering scheme using self organization method is proposed. The proposed scheme selects a cluster head considering not only the number of neighbor nodes but also the residual battery amount. In addition, the network life time is extended by re-selecting the cluster heads only in case the current cluster head's residual energy falls down below a certain threshold level. Accordingly, the energy consumption is evenly distributed over the entire network nodes. The cluster head delivers the collected data from member nodes to a Sink node in a way of multi-hop relaying. In order to evaluate the proposed scheme, we run computer simulation in terms of the total residual amount of battery, the number of alive nodes after a certain amount of time, the accumulated energy cost for network configuration, and the deviation of energy consumption of all nodes, comparing with LEACH which is one of the most popular network clustering schemes. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme has twice network life-time of LEACH scheme and has much more evenly distributed energy consumption over the entire network.

In this paper, we propose a Cross-Layer Transmission Architecture (CLTA) to support power saving high-speed multimedia services in mobile ad-hoc wireless sensor networks(MAWSN). The main goals of this paper are in showing and proposing how the routing routes are decided on route stability based on mobility of mobile nodes to increase the operational lifetime of routes as well as how the transmit power can be saved in mobile ad-hoc wireless sensor networks. To obtain these goals, we propose a cross-layer architecture strategy which combines network layer technology with physical layer technology to get synergy effects in the view of transmission power saving. We consider a realistic approach, in the points of view of the MAWSN, based on mobile sensor nodes as well as fixed sensor nodes in sensor fields while the conventional research for sensor networks focus on mainly fixed sensor nodes. The performance evaluation of the proposed CLTA is performed via simulation and analysis.

In the future ubiquitous network, information will collect data from various sensors in the field. Since the sensor nodes are equipped with small, often irreplaceable, batteries with limited power capacity, it is essential that the network be energy-efficient in order to maximize its lifetime. In this paper, we propose an effective network routing method that can operate with low power as well as the transmission of data and information obtained from sensor networks, and identified the number of sensors with the best connectivity to help with the proper placement of the sensor. These purposes of this research are the development of the sensor middle-ware to integrate the maritime information and the proposal of the routing algorithm for gathering the maritime information of various sensors. In addition, for more secure ship navigation, we proposed a method to construct a sensor network using various electronic equipments that are difficult to access in a ship, and then construct a communication system using NMEA(the national marine electronics association), a ship communication standard, in the future.

Wireless sensor networks are composed of a large number of sensor nodes with limited energy resources. One critical issue in wireless sensor networks is how to gather sensed information in an energy efficient way since the energy is limited. The clustering algorithm is a technique used to reduce energy consumption. It can improve the scalability and lifetime of wireless sensor network. In this paper, we introduce a clustering protocol with mode selection (CPMS) for wireless sensor networks. Our scheme improves the performance of BCDCP (Base Station Controlled Dynamic Clustering Protocol) and BIDRP (Base Station Initiated Dynamic Routing Protocol) routing protocol. In CPMS, the base station constructs clusters and makes the head node with highest residual energy send data to base station. Furthermore, we can save the energy of head nodes using modes selection method. The simulation results show that CPMS achieves longer lifetime and more data messages transmissions than current important clustering protocol in wireless sensor networks.

본 논문에서 제안하고 있는 RT-WISN(Real Time-Wireless Image Sensor Network)는 과거의 무선이미지 전송 기술에 비해 적은 전력을 소모하고 빠른 전송이 가능하게 하는 기술이다. 제안된 RT-WISN은 IEEE802.15.4 표준을 따르고 있으며, 현재 본 연구실에서 개발하고 있는 UoC(Ubiquitous on Chip) 메모리 구조를 응용하여 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하고 있는 RT-WISN은 전송하고자 하는 대상이 되는 영상정보의 움직임 변화를 영상 전송 임계값 값을 사용하여 데이터 전송 시기를 결정함으로써 기존의 시스템에 비해 노드의 에너지를 보다 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 기법 이다. 또한 본 논문에서는 제안된 전용 프로세서를 사용하여 보다 넓은 대역폭에서 필요한 영상 데이터를 효율적으로 전송할 수 있어 전송 시간 제어에 보다 용이함을 제공 한다. 무선센서 네트워크에서 이런 점들은 각 노드들의 생존 시간을 향상하게 되고, 고속의 전송이 가능하게 하는 장점으로 작용하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 Peer-to-Peer 상에서 실제 설계된 메모리 구조를 사용하여 이미지를 무선으로 전송하고 그 전송 시간과 도달률을 측정하여 RT-WISN이 무선 센서 네트워크에서의 검출된 영상 정보의 전송에 적합함을 보인다.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 이동하는 표적의 위치를 추정하기 위한 연구는 센서 노드의 에너지가 제한 되어 있어 센서 노드 상호간의 협력적인 신호처리 기법이 필수적이다. 기존의 무선 센서 네트워크에서 이동 표적의 위치를 추정하는 방법은 각 센서 노드에서 이동 표적으로부터 수신된 신호를 이용해 수신신호강도, 잡음제거, 압축 등의 신호처리를 수행하고 기지국으로 전송하는 형태이다. 이런 기존의 기법은 애드 호크 방법의 무선 센서 네트워크에는 적용이 어렵고, 각 센서 노드에서 신호처리 및 통신에 의한 에너지 소모가 크기 때문에 무선 센서 네트워크의 생존 시간이 짧아지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 기반의 무선 센서 네트워크의 협력적 신호 처리 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 웨이블릿 변환을 이용한 센서노드에서의 에너지 효율적 특징추출을 수행하고 각 센서 노드간의 특징 전송을 통해 표적의 위치를 추정한다.

LoRa is a physical layer technology that is designed to provide a reliable long-range communication with introducing CSS and with introducing a loco parentis tree network. Since a leaf can utilize multiple parents at the same time with a single transmission, PDR increases logarithmically as the number of gateways increases. Because of the ALOHA-like MAC of LoRa, however, the PDR degrades even under the loco parentis tree topology similarly to the single-gateway environment. Our proposed method is aimed to achieve SDMA approach to reuse the same frequency in different areas. For that purpose, it elaborately controls each TxPower of the senders for each message in concurrent transmission to survive the collision at each different gateway. The gain from this so-called capture effect increases the capacity of resource-hungry LPWAN. Compared to a typical collision-free controlled-access scheme, our method outperforms by 10-35% from the perspective of the total count of the consumed time slots. Also, due to the power control mechanism in our method, the energy consumption reduced by 20-40%.

Due to the application-specific nature of wireless sensor networks, the sensitivity to such a requirement as data reporting latency may vary depending on the type of applications, thus requiring application-specific algorithm and protocol design paradigms which help us to maximize energy conservation and thus the network lifetime. In this paper, we implement and evaluate a novel delay-adaptive sensor scheduling scheme for energy-saving data gathering which is based on a two phase clustering (TPC), in wireless sensor networks. The TPC is implemented on sensor Mote hardwares. With the help of TPC implemented, sensors selectively use direct links for control and forwarding time critical sensed data and relay links for data forwarding based on the user delay constraints given. Implementation study shows that TPC helps the sensors to increase a significant amount of energy while collecting sensed data from sensors in a real environment.

Routing protocol in ad hoc mobile networking has been an active research area in recent years. However, the environments of ad hoc network tend to have vulnerable points from attacks, because ad hoc mobile network is a kind of wireless network without centralized authentication or fixed network infrastructure such as base stations. Also, existing routing protocols that are effective in a wired network become inapplicable in ad hoc mobile networks. To address these issues, several secure routing protocols have been proposed: SAODV and SRPTES. Even though our protocols are intensified security of networks than existing protocols, they can not deal fluidly with frequent changing of wireless environment. Moreover, demerits in energy efficiency are detected because they concentrated only safety routing. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient secure routing protocol for various ad hoc mobile environment. First of all, we provide that the nodes distribute security information to reliable nodes for secure routing. The nodes constitute tree-structured with around nodes for token escrow, this action will protect invasion of malicious node through hiding security information. Next, we propose multi-path routing based security level for protection from dropping attack of malicious node, then networks will prevent data from unexpected packet loss. As a result, this algorithm enhances packet delivery ratio in network environment which has some malicious nodes, and a life time of entire network is extended through consuming energy evenly.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 센서 노드는 그 목적에 따라 다양한 신호처리 기능을 가져야 한다. 센서 노드의 에너지 제약과 통신 대역폭 제한은 센서 노드에서의 가벼운 신호처리 기법을 필요로 한다. 일반적인 센서 노드에서의 신호처리 기법은 센서 노드에 수신된 신호를 잡음제거 등의 전처리를 수행하고, 에너지를 계산하여 표적의 위치를 탐지하고 기지국에서의 위치추정 및 식별을 위하여 특징 추출하거나 압축하여 전송하는 등의 방법으로 구성된다. 이러한 센서 노드에서 필수적인 신호처리 기법들은 에너지 효율적인 신호처리 기법은 무선 센서 네트워크의 생존 시간과 표적 탐지 및 식별이라는 목적에 대한 성능에 큰 영향을 끼치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크에서 센서 노드의 필수적인 신호처리를 Lifting scheme wavelet 방법을 이용하여 센서 노드에서 에너지 효율적인 신호처리 기법을 제안한다.
