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.

무선 센서 네트워크의 효율적인 에너지 사용은 무선 센서 네트워크의 수명과 관련된 중요한 요소이다. 무선센서 네트워크의 역동적인 환경에서는 전력량, 간섭 요소를 고려한 신호의 세기, 노드간의 거리 등의 특성을 고려하여 최적의 경로를 선택하는 것은 에너지 사용량에 많은 영향을 준다. TORA(Temporally-Ordered Routing Algorithm)는 이동성이 심한 무선 네트워크 환경에 적합하게 설계되어 있고 다중경로를 이용하여 링크 단절 시 빠른 복구가 가능한 장점이 있지만, 네트워크 생존의 측면에서 전력 사용의 효율성을 개선 및 보완할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 TORA의 다중 경로 중에서 최적의 경로를 선택하는 방법에 대해서 논하고자 한다.

In wireless sensor networks(WSNs), it is crucial to maintain network connectivity as long as possible since nodes are battery-powered and unchange-able. We propose a new routing protocol called Energy Aware Source Routing(EASR) which can be efficient in respect of network lifetime and long-term connectivity. Our protocol is multipath source routing, only one path will be selected at the same time and each path has probability to be selected like as Energy Aware Routing(EAR) protocol. The route discovery procedure of EASR protocol is reformed from the route discovery procedure of Split Multipath Routing(SMR) protocol. However, there is the difference between SMR and EASR. In EASR, we define an overhearing ratio in order to reduce energy waste due to overhearing effect among each selected path. Thus, we can establish energy efficient multiple paths by making use of overhearing ratio. The simulation results are also demonstrated that our scheme increases in network lifetimes, and achieves reasonable packet latency time.

Our research is aimed at developing an architectural frame-work of USN sensor network discovery service systems. The research is fo-cused on the four areas a survey of USN technology, development of a USN software model, development of the design space of the USN sensor network discovery service, and finally the architectural framework of the USN sensor network dicovery service. The survey of the USN technology is conducted on four technological visions that contain USN system technology, USN networking technology, and USN middleware along with the service platform, With respect to each technological division, domestic and worldwide leading research projects are primarily explored with their technical features and research projects are primarily explored with their technical features and research output To provide a means to analyze sensor network discovery services, we devel-oped the design space of the sensor network discovery services by exploring the scalability with respect to query scope, lookup performance, and resolution network.

In wireless sensor networks, the multipath prefers energy efficient routing method due to the characteristic of low-power sensor which uses geographic method to transmit data packet through information of the neighbor nodes. However, when multipath meets the routing fail area called hole area, path overlap problem can occur, resulting in failed maintenance of disjoint multipath. To solve this problem, multipath research studies have been performed to exploit the modeling and detouring method in routing fail area by keeping the disjoint multipath. However, in an energy point of view, additional method like modeling can lead to a lot of energy consumption of sensor node. Moreover, lots of energy consumption of sensor node can shorten the life span of sensor network. In this study, we proposed an energy efficient geographic routing by keeping the disjoint multipath in routing fail area. The proposed scheme exploited the face routing using the geographic recovery method without additional method like modeling.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 센서 노드의 취약점으로 인해 공격자는 쉽게 훼손된 노드를 만들어 센서 네트워크를 공격한다. DoS 공격에 해당하는 플로딩 공격은 노드의 에너지 손실과 경로 상의 노드의 에너지를 전부 소비시켜 네트워크 수명이 단축된다. 본 논문에서 제안 기법은 노드의 에너지가 적은 지역에서 다중경로 라우팅을 적용해 각 노드의 부하를 줄이고 네트워크 수명을 증가시키는 보안기법을 제안한다.

무선 센서 네트워크의 사용이 증가함에 따라, 센서 네트워크의 보안에 대한 연구가 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 그 중 센서 노드들 사이의 키 설립 방법에 대한 연구가 매우 활발히 진행되었으며, 그에 따라 다양한 연구 결과들이 제시되었다. 하지만 기존의 연구 결과들은 강력한 보안성을 제공하기는 하나 키 설립과정이 매우 복잡하기 때문에 현실적으로 이용되기에는 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 즉, 이는 실제 센서 노드에 대한 구현을 어렵게 하며, 다양한 응용 분야에서 요구하는 보안성의 제공 역시 보장하지 못한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 다중 채널을 사용한 간단한 키 설립 방법을 제시하였다. 제시된 방법은 필요한 저장 공간과 통신 횟수, 계산 횟수를 최소화 한 반면, 다중 채널을 사용함으로서 보안성은 강화하였다. 이는 다양한 분야에서 제시된 방법이 활용될 수 있음을 의미한다. 1장의 서론에 이어 2장에서는 관련연구를 설명한다. 3장에서는 배경지식을 설명하고 4장에서 제안한 프로토콜을 설명한다. 마지막으로 5장에서는 분석을 통하여 이를 증명한다.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of a lot of sensor nodes having limited transmission range. So multi-hop transmission is used for communication among nodes but the multi-hop transmission degrade the end-to-end reliability. Multipath routing and opportunistic routing are typical approaches for guaranteeing end-to-end reliability in WSNs. The existing protocols improve the reliability effectively in small networks but they suffer from rapid performance degradation in large networks. In this paper, we propose the opportunistic multipath routing protocol for guaranteeing end-to-end reliability in large WSNs. Applying multipath routing and opportunistic routing simultaneously is very hard because their conflicting routing features. The proposed protocol applies these approaches simultaneously by section-based routing thereby enhancing end-to-end reliability. Additionally, the proposed protocol guarantees required reliability by the concept of section reliability. The section reliability over a certain level might satisfy required end-to-end reliability. Our simulation results show that the proposed protocol is more suitable for guaranteeing reliability than existing protocols in large-scale WSNs.

In this paper, a real-time multi-source sensor data management system based on wireless sensor network is proposed and implemented. The proposed management system is designed to transmit the wireless data to the server in order to monitor and control the multi-source target's status efficiently by analyzing them. The proposed system is implemented to make it possible to control and transmit the wireless sensor data by classifying them, of which data are issued from the clustered sources composed of a number of the remote multiple sensors. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, we measure and analyze both the transmission delay time according to the distance and the data loss rate issued from multiple data sources. From these results, it is verified that the proposed system has a good performance.
