With the development of sensing devices and wireless communication technologies, wireless sensor networks are composed of a large number of sensor nodes that are equipped with limited computing performance and restricted communication capabilities. Besides, the sensor nodes are deployed in hostile or unattended environments. Therefore, the wireless sensor networks are vulnerable to security. In particular, the fatal damage may be occurred when data are exposed in real world applications. Therefore, it is important for design requirements to be made so that wireless sensor networks provide the strong security. However, because the conventional security schemes in wired networks did not consider the limited performance of the sensor node, they are so hard to be applied to wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a secure multipath transmission scheme based on one-way hash functions in wireless sensor networks considering the limited performance of the wireless sensor nodes. The proposed scheme converts a sensor reading based on one of one-way hash functions MD5 in order to make it harder to be cracked and snooped. And then, our scheme splits the converted data and transfers the split data to the base station using multi-path routing. The experimental results show that our proposed scheme consumes the energy of just about 6% over the existing security scheme.

Time variation is the essential component of the context awareness. It is a beneficial way not only including time lapse but also clustering time interval for the context inference using the information from sensor mote. In this study, we proposed a novel way of clustering based multi-sensor data fusion for the context inference. In the time interval, we fused the sensed signal of each time slot, and fused again with the results of th first fusion. We could reach the enhanced context inference with assessing the segmented signal according to the time interval at the Dempster-Shafer evidence theory based multi-sensor data fusion.

In this paper, we present a new routing protocol, multipath and multi-priority based routing protocol, (MMRP) for wireless multimedia sensor networks. The proposed MMRP chooses the multiple routing paths from source to the sink, then the selected paths are assigned with different priority levels depending upon the residual energy and transmission delay in the routing paths. That is, the highly prioritized I frames of the MPEG video are transmitted over the high priority routing paths, and other P and B frames are transmitted over the lower priority routing paths. The proposed MMRP protocol can be applied to time critical applications which require both lower latency and low power consumption over wireless multimedia sensor network. Simulations results of MMRP protocol show respectively an improvement of 23.48% and 23.11% in energy conservation and 81.6% and 32.01% improvement in latency as compared to protocols without and with multipath routing.

In this paper, a point-to-multipoint wireless communication system based on Bluetooth specifications, which is possibly applied to very large vessels, is implemented and analyzed. Here, a communication network is composed of a slave Bluetooth module connected to the task computer and multiple master Bluetooth modules equipped with a sensor. And exploiting the point-to-multipoint data communication among the Bluetooth modules, a surveillance system that recognizes and controls a variety of emergency situations happened on a large vessel is implemented. It is, therefore, considered that the wireless communication system implemented in this paper is possibly exploited a basic technology for the digital shipbuilding of the next generation.

A wireless sensor network (WSN) has limited battery power because it is used wirelessly using low-cost small sensors. Since the battery cannot be replaced, the lifespan of the sensor node is directly related to the lifespan of the battery, so power must be used efficiently to maximize the lifespan of the network. In this study, based on PEGASIS, a representative energy-efficient routing protocol, we propose a protocol that classifies layers according to the distance from the sink node and configures multiple chains rather than one chain. The proposed protocol can increase network lifespan by reducing the transmission distance between nodes to prevent unnecessary energy consumption.

Wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices. And It can be expected to be deployed in an ad hoc networs. MAC is different from traditional wireless MACs such as IEEE 802.11 in almost every way. so self-configuration and power saving in sensor network are very important goals, while per-node fairness and latency are less important. In this paper, so we use a given prototype for efficient energy conservation to reduce power consumtion that is one of the important character in sensor network and compare energy consumption and collision with IEEE 802.11 MAC. finally we conclude the paper and analyze it.

The reliability and efficiency of network must be considered in the large scale wireless sensor networks. Broadcast method must be used rather than unicast method to enhance the reliability of networks. In recently proposed GRAB (GRAdient Broadcast) can certainly enhance reliability of networks fy using broadcast but its efficiency regarding using energy of network is low due to using only one sink. Hence, the lifetime of networks is reduced. In the paper we propose the scheme of SMSGB (Selective Multi Sink Gradient Broadcast) which uses single sink of multi-sink networks. The broadcast based SMSGB can secure reliability of large scale wireless sensor networks. The SMSGB can also use the network's energy evenly via multi sink distribution. Our experiments show that using SMSGB was reliable as GRAB and it increased the network's lifetime by 18% than using GRAB.

무선 센서 네트워크에서는 네트워크 부하를 줄이기 위해 다수의 소스 노드가 전송한 데이터를 중간 노드에서 병합하여 전송하는 라우팅 기법을 사용한다. 기존의 DD-G(Directed Diffusion-Greedy) 데이터 병합 라우팅 기법은 데이터 병합 노드의 에너지 효율을 고려하여 단일 경로를 구축함으로써 에너지 소모를 줄일 수 있었다. 하지만 싱크 노드에 근접할수록 에너지 소모가 집중되거나 통신 지연이 증가하는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 부하 분산을 고려하여 다중 데이터 병합 경로를 구축하는 새로운 데이터 병합 라우팅 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 싱크 노드 주변의 네트워크 부하집중을 분산시키고, 데이터 손실에 대한 재전송 비용을 감소시키기 위해 다중 경로를 이용한다.

현재의 무선 센서네트워크는 다중 목적지 그룹에 동일한 interest를 전파함에 있어서 목적지 그룹별로 개별적인 interest 전송 경로를 사용한다. 이러한 데이터 전송기법은 동일한 정보를 여러 번에 걸쳐 전송함으로써 네트워크에 불필요한 트래픽을 증가시키고, 에너지 자원이 빈약한 센서네트워크의 네트워크 생명을 감소시키는 원인이 된다. 범용 센서네트워크에서 동일한 interest를 네트워크상의 다중 목적지에 전송하는 경우 공유경로의 사용을 통하여 네트워크 트래픽을 감소시킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 센서노드의 위치 정보를 기반으로 싱크노드로부터 복수개의 목적지 그룹까지 데이터를 전송함에 있어서 공유경로를 사용하여 데이터의 전송 경로를 최적화하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안 방우의 성능번상은 시걸친이해에 의해 불증하필으요, 에러 경로 최대 30%까지 감소하필다.
