A wireless ship area network is required to configure and control various sensors and electrical instruments embedded or boarded in a ship. In such environment, wireless communication protocol adopting relaying function is needed because direct link or communication between two nodes is hardly guaranteed due to spatial constraints in a ship. In this study, we introduce and analyze a WiMedia Distributed MAC (D-MAC) based approach considering throughput and energy constraint of wireless communication module. Performance evaluation results demonstrate that the relay-based wireless communication protocol improves reliability of wireless communication network in a ship.

자율운항 선박, 무인선 개발과 동 분야 디지털트윈 구현을 위해서는 선박 내부 데이터의 수집을 담당할 고신뢰성 선내 통신망 확보가 필수적이다. WiFi와 같은 전파 기반의 무선통신 시스템은 금속 구조물로 구성되는 선박 내 환경 자체가 원활한 통신의 장애 요소이다. 이러한 극한 환경 극복을 위해 자기장을 금속 표면에 유기하여 비 전파 기반으로 무선통신을 가능하게 하는 표면파 통신이 대안이 될 수 있다. 선박 전체의 일반 배치 관점에서 표면파 통신은 상갑판을 통해 크게 거주구역, 화물구역, 선수구역 및 기관구역 간 백본 통신망을 구성할 수 있으며 각 구역 별로는 부재의 개구부를 통해 금속 표면의 연속면을 확보하여 통신할 수 있다. 수밀 격벽의 표면파 통신 관통을 위해 비 도전체로 수밀은 유지한 채 아주 미세한 구멍을 확보하는 것으로도 금속 표면의 연속성을 확보할 수 있다. 이러한 표면파 통신을 활용하면 전파 기반의 무선통신, 비 전파 기반의 무선통신을 통합적으로 구성하여 선박 전체로는 선내 무선 백본망 구성, 그리고 각 구역 별로는 IoT 센서 네트워크 등의 선박 내부 고신뢰성 무선통신 확보가 가능하다.

This study suggests surface wave communication, which uses a metal surface as a medium, to provide wireless communication in the extreme environment due to surrounding metal materials on vessels. The test was conducted on a G/T 265 tons tug boat to confirm the possibility of surface wave communication between a bridge and each designated space in the ship. As a result, the transmission speed was 13Mbps on average. In a test case of the bridge via the engine room, the transmission speed was 4.3Mbps on engine running and 1.2Mbps on sailing. It overcame this by partially changing the equipment installation location. Surface wave communication in bow storage, a fully enclosed space, had 8Mbps better transmission speed than wireless communication; this confirmed the superiority of surface wave communication in confined spaces on a vessel. Additional surface wave generators were designed and applied to resolve the paint issue. It is expected to use surface wave communication to implement the new wireless solution for Maritime-IoT system on vessels.

Recently, the new issues for the safety and the information delivery system in the ship are raised. The deployment and the efficient algorithms of deploying the wireless sensor networks instead of using the built-in wired networks or the setup of the new wired networks is more desirable than the deployment of the wired networks in a ship after its final production since it can reduce the cost and the time of the brand new wired networks by reshaping some of the internal structure of the ship. In this paper, the shipboard signal propagation measurement system based on the signature sequence-three way slave mode are designed and its measureed data are analysed after measuring the signal propagation characteristics. Consequently, it is expected that the reliable and cost-effective signal measurement system with the three way algorithm for the deployment of the shipboard wireless networks can be achieved.

The existence communications of vessel focused on voice, FAX, ISDN, etc. using satellite on the existent most communications on the ships, and recently, the ships need high quality smart communication service environments. In the results of experiments using the existent system, it could access on board, but in the closed room of vessel, was impossible to access e-mail and smart apps except voice communication. In the present paper, we implemented a novel communication system that can access voice, text, e-mail, file, vessel monitoring apps, etc. It consists of a convergent communication terminal combined with satellite and communication for Smartphone, and smart communication environment on the closed room. As the results, we can access a variety of smart communication in anywhere on board.

In this paper, the shipboard signal propagation measurement system based on the signature sequence-two way slave mode are designed and its measurement data are analysed after measuring the signal propagation characteristics. Consequently, it is expected that the reliable and cost-effective signal measurement system for the deployment of the shipboard wireless networks can be built.

요즘 모든 분야에서 실세계의 상황정보 인지를 통해 전자공간과 물리공간을 결합할 수 있는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅의 기반 기술을 사용하여 센서와 무선 통신 기술을 결합한 무선 센서 네트워크에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있는 추세이다. 또한 선박에서도 유무선 기술을 융합하여 지능형 선박에 적합한 Ship Area Network(SAN) 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 다양한 유무선 네트워크 연동 SAN-브릿지 기술, 이종 센서, 제어기기를 자율적으로 구성관리하거나 상호연동, 원격제어 하는 자율 SAN 구성관리 기술 등의 필요성이 제기되고 있는 실정이다. 선박에서의 모니터링 분야인 구조적 안전과 화물 관리를 위한 모니터링 외에도 선원을 포함한 모든 주변 환경을 안전하게 유지하는 것이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 기후 변화에 대한 감지나 여러 구조물에 대한 온도, 압력 등의 모니터링 시스템을 효율적으로 설계하기 위해 무선 센서 네트워크에서의 에너지 효율을 이용한 라우팅 및 데이터 병합을 위한 기술 동향을 파악하고 자기 구성 클러스터링 방법을 분석하여 선내의 무선 센서 네트워크 구성에 대해 연구하였다.
