The life-time and performance of a wireless sensor network is closely related to energy-efficiency of sensor nodes. In this paper, to increase energy-efficiency, each sensor node operates in one of three operational modes which are normal, power-saving, and inactive. In normal mode sensor nodes sense and transmit data with normal period, whereas sensor nodes in power-saving mode have three-times longer period. In inactive mode, sensor nodes do not sense and transmit any data, which makes the energy consumption to be minimized. Plus, the proposed algorithm can avoid unnecessary energy consumption by preventing transmitting duplicate sensed data. We implemented and simulated the proposed algorithm using Tiny OS based ZigbeX platfom and NS-2, respectively. Performance evaluation results show that the proposed algorithm can prolong sensor networks' lifespan by efficiently reducing energy consumption and its standard deviation of all sensor nodes.

In this paper, we propose a ToF-Stereo fusion sensor system for 3D space scanning that increases the recognition rate of 3D objects, guarantees object detection quality, and is robust to the environment. The ToF-Stereo sensor fusion system uses a method of fusing the sensing values of the ToF sensor and the Stereo RGB sensor, and even if one sensor does not operate, the other sensor can be used to continuously detect an object. Since the quality of the ToF sensor and the Stereo RGB sensor varies depending on the sensing distance, sensing resolution, light reflectivity, and illuminance, a module that can adjust the function of the sensor based on reliability estimation is placed. The ToF-Stereo sensor fusion system combines the sensing values of the ToF sensor and the Stereo RGB sensor, estimates the reliability, and adjusts the function of the sensor according to the reliability to fuse the two sensing values, thereby improving the quality of the 3D space scan.

This paper considers an approach of secondary user selection method in cooperative spectrum sensing, which two users with the best SNR in sensing channel and in reporting channel, respectively, are selected to cooperate with each other in the spectrum sensing. The sensing results reported by two users are then combined to detect PU signal operation. A comparison between this proposed method with conventional selection technique in which only the user having the best sensing channel SNR is selected shows that the proposed method outperforms. We make an assumption that sensing channels experience identical, independent distributed (i.i.d) Rayleigh fading and the reporting channels are invariant and non-identical. Simulation results are derived for demonstration.

This paper proposed a novel compressed sensing (CS) technique for an efficient video transmission of multi-copter. The proposed scheme is focused on reduction of the amount of data based on CS technology. First, we describe basic principle of Spectrum sensing. And then we compare AMP(Approximate Message Passing) with CoSaMP(Compressive Sampling Matched Pursuit) through mathematical analysis and simulation results. They are evaluated in terms of calculation time and complexity, then the promising algorithm is suggestd for multicopter operation. The result of experiment in this paper shows that AMP algorithm is more efficient than CoSaMP algorithm when it comes to calculation time and image error probability.

최적의 식물 생장을 위해서는 적절한 수분의 유지가 필수적이며 넓은 지역, 다양한 종류, 고가의 식물의 경우일수록 적절한 수분의 관리를 위한 시스템의 도움이 필요하다. 이를 위해 저가의 센서노드 시스템이 적절한 해결책이 될 수 있으나 일반적인 배터리 기반의 센서노드 시스템을 적용시 배터리 용량 확인 및 교체 등의 유지보수 문제가 대두된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 유지보수의 문제를 해결하고 식물재배에 도움을 줄 수 있는 자기유지 지원 방식의 정전용량 센싱기반의 수분 모니터링 센서노드를 설계하였다.

동기 정류 컨버터는 다이오드에서 발생하는 도통손실을 줄이기 위해 정류 다이오드 대신 모스펫으로 대체한 것으로 고전류 응용에서 효율을 높이기 위해 주로 사용된다. 하지만 낮은 부하에서 동기 모드 보다는 DCM 으로 동작하는 것이 효율 향상에 유리하다. 일반적으로 이와 같은 모드 변환 시점을 알기 위해서는 전류의 센싱이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 전류의 센싱없이 P&O 방식을 통해 모드 변환 시점을 확인하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 자세한 분석과 함께 TI사의 TMS320F28335를 통해 구현하였으며 실험을 통해 타당성 및 효용성을 검증하였다.

Lithium-ion batteries have been used for high density energy storage system due to the features such as low self-discharge rate. And the unit cell battery with the voltage less than 4V is recommended to use the series connections for a high voltage charger. When batteries are charged or discharged with series connection, there may be an explosion or degradation of unit cell battery owing to undistributed internal resistance of cell battery. therefore, the voltages of unit cell batteries should be monitored to prevent an overcharging and a deep discharging. This paper introduces the implementation of CVM (Cell Voltage Monitoring) system that can transmit the 12 channel's information including voltages and temperatures with the 12-bits resolutions and the transmission speed of 192 kbps.

Odor sensing system that is electronic nose device and its signal processing technique has potential to become a critical service for the people who require tangibility of sense of smell in the multimedia communication. PCA(Principal Component Analysis) have been used for dimensionality reduction and visualization of multivariate measurement data. PCA is good for estimating importance value by variance of data but, have some limitation for getting meaningful representation from odor sensing system. This paper explain about how to analyze the data of odor sensing system by ICA(Independent Component Analysis). We show that ICA can give better result like sensor drift analysis, dimensionality reduction and data representation by improved discrimination.
