Recently, many of researchers have been studied in data processing oriented middleware for wireless sensor networks with the rapid advances on sensor and wireless communication technologies. In a wireless sensor network, a middleware should handle the data loss problem at an intermediate sensor node caused by instantaneous data burstness to support efficient processing and fast delivering of the sensing data. To handle this problem, a simple data discarding or data compressing policy for reducing the total amount of data to be transferred is typically used. But, data discarding policy decreases the correctness of a collected data, in other hand, data compressing policy requires additional processing overhead with the high complexity of the given algorithm. In this paper, it proposes a data-average method for enhancing the efficiency of data aggregation and correctness where the sensed data should be delivered only with the limited computing power and energy resource. With the proposed method, unnecessary data transfer of the overlapped data is eliminated and data correctness is enhanced by using the proposed averaging scheme when an instantaneous data burstness is occurred. Finally, with the TOSSTM simulation results on TinyBB, we show that the correctness of the transferred data is enhanced.

In this paper, characteristics on arrangement of coils in the wireless power transfer system based on magnetic resonance is presented. A helical structure is used for a self-resonant coil. To design a proper self-resonant helical coil, its inductance and capacitance are obtained. Using the finite element method, the self-resonant coil designed is simulated and characteristics of wireless power transfer with various arrangement between Tx and Rx resonant coils is analyzed. For verification, a prototype of a wireless power transfer system based on magnetic resonance is fabricated and efficiency of different arrangement such as both vertical and parallel arrangements is measured. From the measurement, transmission efficiency of 50 % for parallel arrangement is obtained within twice the diameter of the coil while for the vertical arrangement it is measured within one and a half diameter of the coil. Maximum efficiency of 84.25 % is observed at the distance 40 cm from the resonant coil in the case of parallel arrangement.

The goal of wireless sensor networks is to collect sensing data on specific region over wireless communication. Sink node gathers all local sensing data, processes and transmits them to users who use sensor networks. Generally, senor nodes are low-cost, low power devices with limited sensing, computation and wireless communication capabilities. And sensor network applies to multi-hop communication on large-scale network. As neighboring sensor nodes have similar data, clustering is more effective technique for 'data-aggregation'. In cluster formation technique based on multi-hop, it is necessary that the number of cluster member nodes should be distributed equally because of the balance of cluster formation To achieve this, we propose a method to customize cluster member nodes for energy-efficiency in wireless sensor networks.

In this paper, we have compared the performance of a D-TDMA protocol with that of a CDMA protocol, in radio access system for integrated voice/data services.The D-TDMA protocol is based on a generic dynamic channel assignment approach to be followed a combination of “circuit mode” reservation for voice calls, along with dynamic first-come-first served assignment of remaining capacity for data messages. In the CDMA protocol, we have used the voice activity detection to reduce the interface power of other mobiles in internal and external cells, and analyzed the interference power ratio. Also we have computed BER(Bit Error Rate) by using this interference power ratio and evaluated voice blocking probability(voice packet loss probability) and data transmission delay, according to average data length and average data arrival rate.We have found the CDMA protocol achieves comparatively higher performance for short data length, regardless of data arrival rate. Otherwise, the data transmission delay of D-TDMA protocol is shorter than that of the CDMA protocol for long data message.

In this paper, analytical calculations using a novel mutual inductance formula for a resonant wireless power transmission system using helical coils. The look-up table of critical variables during the mutual inductance calculation process was formulated. The calculation results for resonant frequency and insertion loss were compared with experimental results when the distance between the two helical coils in a structure where the transmission and reception is symmetrical was varied with 10 mm increments from 53 mm to 500 mm. On average, the resonant frequency showed a difference of 5.63 % between the experimental results and the calculation results. The insertion loss had an average difference 2.25 dB where the smallest difference of 0.33 dB occurred with 290 mm. It was found that the experimental results without using a balun were in greater agreement with the calculation results.

In this paper, we proposed a system protocol for detecting injurious insect to support energy saving transmission in wireless bio sensor networks. The main ideas and features of the system are as follows. First, the route establishment method which is based on the energy efficiency and stability by using time-division tree structure. Second, multi-hop direction-based data gatering structure. In this structure, the selected fading method is used to transmit packet via the established tree structure for supporting power saving and route lifetime efficiently. Finally, we can get the node power saving and reduce transmission delay, thus network lifetime and efficiency are improved. The performance evaluation of the proposed protocol is via OPNET(Optimized Network Engineering Tool).

The critical point analysis(CA) and impedance matching analysis(IA) are performed and compared for a 4-coil magnetic resonance wireless power transfer system. Because the operating frequency splits at short distance while the efficiency drops drastically at long distance in this system, the optimization technique is needed for either a specific distance or efficiency at the fixed frequency. CA uses the critical point where shows maximum efficiency in the entire range and IA uses the impedance matching technique to achieve maximum efficiency at the specific distance. Comparison result shows that IA is more efficient than CA. Also, it shows one side matching has a tradeoff relationship comparing to both side matching. By using four spiral resonant coils, the analysis was experimentally verified. The measured data agreed well with the calculated data.

In OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) based multi-hop networks, the subcarrier-pairing scheme using the SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio) has been proposed as the best solution. But, this scheme is not optimal in cognitive radio system, because of the power control due to the interference to the primary user. In this paper, we propose two subcarrier-pairing schemes for OFDMA based 2-hop cognitive radio systems. One is the IT(Interference channel gain) scheme considering only the interference channel gain, and the other is the CI(Channel SNR over interference channel gain) scheme considering the ratio of channel SNR to interference channel gain. The results show that the CI scheme has the best performance in which throughput is improved more than 10% in comparison with other schemes.

In this paper, we propose a new moving mobile base station (MMBS) scheme for very low power and micro-size RMIMS (radio-interfaced micro information monitoring system) terminals. RMIMS terminals can be used in various application service areas such as pollution monitoring, environment surveillance, traffic monitoring, emergency monitoring (e.g., building, bridge, railroad breakdown), security monitoring (e.g., theft, alarm) and military application. For these applications based on wireless transmission technologies, sensor type RMIMS terminals must satisfy low cost and low power design (e.g., solar power, life limited battery) requirement. In RMIMS terminal design, this low power requirement limits transmission range of uplink or reverse link and means small cell size. Also these applications using RMIMS terminals may have a little bit non real-time traffic characteristic and low scattering density in service area.

In general, automatic access control management system using smart door-lock must be always exposed to security vulnerability during wireless communication based on Bluetooth. In particular, important information such as a secrete key can be exposed to the attacker when the authentication protocol has been operating in the wireless section. Therefore important information exchanged in the radio section needs to be properly encrypted. In order to analyze security vulnerability for automatic access control management system of public facilities such as subway vent, GNU Radio platform and HackRF device will be considered and experimented. Proposed experimental system to perform software based power analysis attack could be very effectively applied. As a result, important information such as packet type, CRC, length of data, and data value can be easily decoded from wireless packet obtained from HackRF device on GNU Radio platform. Constructed experimental system will be applied to avoid some security problems.
