무선 센서네트워크는 다양한 환경에서 감시와 정보수집 역할을 수행하는 시스템이다. 최근에는 하드웨어의 발달로 무선 센서네트워크를 이용하여 멀티미디어 데이터를 수집하기 위한 시도가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 센서네트워크에서의 신뢰성 있는 비동기적 이미지 전송 프로토콜인 RAIT를 제안한다. RAIT는 작은 크기의 메모리를 갖는 센서노드의 특징을 고려하여 전송 중 발생하는 Overflew의 방지를 위하여 Token-Bucket 방식으로의 네트워크 트래픽 관리를 통해 이미지 전송의 신뢰성을 높인다. 또한 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 RAIT의 이미지 전송 신뢰성을 확인하였다.

Uplink overflow in WMSN (Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks) aggravates the resource consumption, delay, and traffic congestion. This paper proposes a new traffic congestion control mechanism using popularity. The proposed mechanism controls congestions by dispersing the media traffic, and it control fairly packets according to priority. This paper proposes PQS (Packet Queue Scheduler) to control fairly packets, and the proposed mechanism provides a fair opportunity to all sensor nodes without a specific location. The simulation results show that the proposed mechanism achieves improved performance in throughput, delay ratio, link quality, and buffer queue control ratio compared with those of other existing methods.

In sensor network systems, various hierarchical clustering schemes have been proposed in order to efficiently maintain the energy consumption of sensor nodes. Most of these schemes, however, are hardly applicable in practice since these schemes might produce unbalanced clusters or randomly distributed clusters without taking into account of the distribution of sensor nodes. To overcome the limitations of such hierarchical clustering schemes, we propose a novel scheme called CSM(Clustering using Split & Merge algorithm), which exploits node split and merge algorithm of tree-based indexing structures to efficiently construct clusters. Our extensive performance studies show that the CSM constructs highly balanced clustering in a energy efficient way and achieves higher performance up to 1.6 times than the previous clustering schemes, under various operational conditions.

최근 AODV 라우팅 프로토콜은 무선센서네트워크에서 노드 간에 데이터 전송방식을 추구하므로 테이블구동방식 중 가장 널리 사용되고 있다. AODV 라우팅 프로토콜은 목적지노드가 멀리 있거나 없는 경우엔 목적지노드를 찾기 위한 라우팅 패킷이 급격하게 증가하고 이로 인해 네트워크의 성능이 크게 저하된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 불필요한 RREQ 메시지를 제어하는 ERS(expanding ring search)방법을 사용한다. 그러나 ERS 방법은 유선 멀티캐스팅을 기본으로 하기 때문에 무선네트워크환경의 NTT(node traversal time)를 고려하지 않았다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이동 무선 센서 노드들이 불규칙적으로 이동하는 무선센서네트워크에서 목적지 노드로부터 소스노드까지 전송되는 RREP의 소요시간, 노드간의 거리, 에너지량을 고려하여 효율적인 NTT 알고리즘을 제안한다.

In this paper, we suggest an energy-efficient clustering scheme based on cross-layer design in wireless sensor networks. The proposed scheme works adequately for the characteristic environment of the networks. In the proposed clustering scheme, we separate clusters composed of sensor nodes in the event area from clusters of the other area when an event occurs by using an application layer information. We can save energy from multiple paths through multiple clusters to deliver the same event. We also suggest TDMA scheduling for non-evented clusters. In the scheduling, we allocate one time slot for each node to save energy. The suggested clustering scheme can increase the lifetime of the entire network. We show that our scheme is energy efficient through simulation in terms of the frequency of event occurrences, the event continual time and the scope.

Sensor network clustering scheme is an efficient method that prolongs network lifetime. However, when it is applied to an environment in which collected data of the sensor nodes easily overlap, sensor node unnecessarily consumes energy. Accordingly, we proposed a data prediction scheme that sensor node can predict current data to exclude redundant data transmission and to minimize data transmission among the cluster head node and member nodes. Our scheme excludes redundant data collection by neighbor nodes. Thus it is possible that energy efficient data transmission. Moreover, to alleviate unnecessary data transmission, we introduce data prediction graph whether transmit or not through analyze between prediction and current data. According to the result of performance analysis, our method consume less energy than the existing clustering method. Nevertheless, transmission efficiency and data accuracy is increased. Consequently, network lifetime is prolonged.

To realize LBS (Location Based Service), typically GPS is mostly used. However, this system can be only used in out-sides. Furthermore, the use of the GPS in sensor networks is not efficient due to the low power consumption. Hence, we propose methods for the location positioning which is runnable at indoor in this paper. The proposed methods elaborate the location positioning system via applying K-NN(K-Nearest Neighbour) Algorithm with its intermediate values based on IEEE 802.15.4 technology; which is mostly used for the sensor networks. Logically the accuracy of the location positioning is proportional to the number of sampling sensor nodes' RSS according to the K-NN. By the way, numerous sampling uses a lot of sensor networks' resources. In order to reduce the number of samplings, we, instead, attempt to use the intermediate values of K-NN's signal boundaries, so that our proposed methods are able to positioning almost two times as accurate as the general ways of K-NN's result.

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.

The majority of farm managers growing the garden products in greenhouse concern massively about the diagnosis and prevention of the breeding and extermination for pests. especially, the managing problem for pests turns up as main issue. In the paper, we first build a wireless sensor network with soil and environment sensors such as illumination, temperature and humidity. And then we design and implement multimedia pest predication and management system which is able to predict and manage various pest of garden products in greenhouse. The proposed system can support the database with information about the pests by building up wireless sensor network in greenhouse compared with existing high-priced PLC device as well as collect various environment information from soil, the interior of greenhouse, and the exterior of greenhouse. To verify the good capability of our system, we implemented several GUI interface corresponding desktop. web, and PDA mobile platform based on real greenhouse model. Finally, we can confirm that our system work well prediction and management of pest of garden products in greenhouse based on several platforms.
