Multipath routing is one of challenging issues for improving the reliability of end-to-end data delivery in wireless sensor networks. Recently, a disjointedness and management of path have been studying to enhance the robustness and efficiency of the multipath routing. However, previous multipath routing protocols exploit the disjointed multipath construction method that is not to consider the wireless communication environment. In addition, if a path failures is occurred due to the node or link failures in the irregular network environment, they maintain the multipath through the simple method that to construct a new extra path. Even some of them have no a method. In order to cope with the insufficiency of path management, a hole detouring scheme, to bypass the failures area and construct the new paths, was proposed. However, it also has the problem that requires a heavy cost and a delivery suspension to the some or all paths in the hole detouring process due to the centralized and inflexible path management. Due to these limitations and problems, the previous protocols may lead to the degradation of data delivery reliability and the long delay of emergency data delivery. Thus, we propose a flexible disjoint multipath routing protocol which constructs the radio disjoint multipath by considering irregular and constrained wireless sensor networks. It also exploits a localized management based on the path priority in order to efficiently maintain the flexible disjoint multipath. We perform the simulation to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a multi-mode wireless power transfer (WPT) system with a dual loop structure. The proposed multi-mode WPT system consist of outer loop module which can operate at two different frequency bands including 6.78 MHz magnetic resonance WPT mode and 13.56 MHz near field communication (NFC) mode and inner loop module connected with outer loop which can operate at two different frequency bands including WPC mode and PMA mode based on inductive coupling standards. In order to be able to embed this system into smartphone battery back cover, the electrical designs are optimized and then the size was fixed $45{\times}90{\times}0.35mm3$ (including ferrite sheet) which is the same commercial smartphone. The proposed multi-mode WPT module can cover WPC and PMA mode based on inductive coupling. Moreover, it has more than 20 dB return loss characteristics at two different frequency bands including 6.78 MHz and 13.56 MHz, and shows more than 70 % transfer efficiency between resonant coils at 6.78 MHz in magnetic resonant charging environment.

센서노드는 무선 센서네트워크를 통해서 감지한 정보를 싱크에게 전송한다. 최근 휴대 무선장비의 이용률 증가로 센서네트워크에서 데이터를 수집하는 싱크를 휴대 무선장비로 대체하여 이동성을 보장하는 연구가 활발히 진행된다. 즉, 싱크가 이동성을 가짐으로써 센서노드가 감지한 정보를 전달하는 방법이 중요한 문제로 부각되고 있다. 따라서 모바일 싱크의 위치를 효율적으로 알리고, 다중 소스노드에서 다중 싱크로 정보를 전달하는 것이 필요하다. 특히, 고정된 싱크에서 사용하던 데이터 전송경로는 모바일 싱크 환경에서 더 이상 효율적이지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 소스노드의 위치정보를 제공하기 위한 서버로서 8방향 앵커시스템(Eight-Direction Anchor system: EDA)을 제안한다. EDA는 센서네트워크의 가장자리에 위치한 센서노드의 편중된 에너지 소모를 막고, 전체 센서노드를 균형적으로 사용함으로써 균등한 에너지 소모를 보장한다. 또한, 모바일 싱크가 소스노드로부터 데이터를 연속적으로 받기위해서 위치기반 최단거리 전송(Location-based Shortest Relay: LSR) 프로토콜을 제안한다. LSR은 소스노드에서 싱크로의 우회하는 경로를 막고, 최소 지연경로를 통하여 연속적인 데이터 전송을 보장한다. 실험결과를 통해서 제안 프로토콜은 효율적인 위치서비스의 제공뿐만 아니라, 다중 소스와 다중 모바일 싱크 환경에서 평균 데이터 전송 비용절감 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 보인다.

Sensor networks are composed of a great number of sensor nodes with constrained battery. Disjoint multipath scheme based flooding method has a merit that efficiently construct multipath in irregular networks, but causes lots of energy consumption in networks. Flooding method is not a suitable technology in wireless sensor networks with constrained battery. We introduce energy-efficient geographic routing scheme considered as an efficient, simple, and scalable routing protocol for wireless sensor networks. The geographic routing scheme on multipath generates a problem with a congestion. So we introduce the concept of multipath pipeline as a congestion avoidance strategy. But multipath pipelines have a big problem on the boundary of holes under irregular networks. We propose a novel disjoint multipath scheme as combined method with geographic routing scheme and hole detouring algorithm on multipath. A novel disjoint multipath scheme constructs disjoint multipath pipelines efficiently for reliability without a collision in irregular wireless sensor networks. Simulation results are provided to validate the claims.

Recently, mobile communication systems have supported various services including internet from voice centric service as they evolve toward 3G. To accommodate the increasing number of users, an AAL2 multiplexing scheme is introduced in the UTRAN tub interface for link efficiency. However, limited radio resources and different requirements of various services make it difficult to guarantee the QoS requirements at radio access networks. The conventional AAL2/ATM multiplexing systems focused on the multiplexing efficiency of voice anddata services and QoS issues of real time and non real time services. In this paper, we classfy various services according to QoS requirements and propose AAL2/ATM multiplexing schemes using statistical multiplexing and scheduling with a rather simple structure to guarantee the given requirements. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes perform better than the conventional schemes to guarantee QoS requirements of various services.

Available electric wave resources have been limited than frequency demands that increase with the development of radio communication. According to FCC's (Federal Communication Commission) report, 70% of allocated spectrum was unused. This means that the lack phenomenon of electronic wave resources is ineffectively managed compare with the finiteness of frequency resources. According to the recognition of unused frequency within allocated band, this progress has been investigating to identify the unused TV channel and provide radio communication services. This paper proposed the sensing algorithm that efficiently recognizes the frequency resources which does not use and shares with the licensed user through using the multi-band CIC (Cascaded Integrator Comb) filter based on polyphase filter bank. The simulation results verifies that the proposed scheme can obtain the similar performance of variance and relatively low complexity to the existing scheme.

The characteristic of the backbond for distribution service in WMNs(Wireless Mesh Networks) is that WMNs has multiple links connected to mesh points and dynamic routing protocol such as AODV to establish routing paths. When the terminal is communicating with the service through new AP, mobile nodes can resume communication by setting only the link between new AP and mobile node in the case of existing WLANs, but WMNs needs path establishment process in multihop networks. Our goal in this paper is to support the seamless communication service by eliminating path establishment delay in WMNs. We present the method that eliminates the handover latency by predicting the location of handover using GPS information and making the paths to their destination in advance. We implement mesh nodes using embedded board that contains proposed handover method and evaluate performance of handover latency. Our experiment shows that handover delay time is decreased from 2.47 to 0.05 seconds and data loss rate is decreased from 20~35% in the existing method to 0~10% level.
