Objectives of shipboard integration networks are to exchange and manage integrated information. Shipboard integration networks use UDP(User Datagram Protocol) multicast for the exchange of information. However, such information can be missed or damaged because UDP can't guarantee reliability. The standard of shipboard integration networks defines error log functions for the missed or damaged information. In this paper, we analyze internal and external log functions. The internal log function records errors internally, and the external log function sends error messages to a log server and records them in a database. We also develop a log processing module and log server for the external log function.

Recently, there has been interests in smart vessel technology, and it needs to consider an intelligent control system for efficient vessel manangement. In a smart vessel, however, it can cause a network overload due to a number of data transmission from a variety of sensor nodes and bridge nodes. In this letter, we propose an data transmission scheme with data fusion to reduce the number of traffic from the sensor nodes. Hence it can decrease network overload for intelligent vessel management.

Recently, the increase of loading amount on cargo ships due to the automation of loading process results in much complex ship operation. For this reason, NMEA-0183 based on RS-422,485 and NMEA-2000 based on CAN communication methods have been usually used as a standardized method in the marin electric interfacing equipments. In this paper, a general NMEA-0183 protocol was designed to support 7-channel NMEA-0183 serial communication data, which can receive 3-channel 16 bits ADC and 2-channel pulse using SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface). In particular, this method was designed for ship communication requires 7 important factors. Also in this study, using the minimization of the proposed method and realizing the monitoring system based on PC, the effectiveness of multichannel indicator system was proposed.

This study is an empirical result for building an onboard communication network using metal surface wave communication and is a consideration of its application within the ship. Over the past three years, the applicability and the performance of metal surface wave communication has been confirmed by testing on five small and medium ships. In the tests, IEEE 802.11 protocol of Wi-Fi was used, and the signals were generated in the form of surface waves. Data was sent from AP to AP in the point-to-point form, and the transmission speed was measured at the same time. If necessary, additional repeaters were used to extend the transmission distance. As derived a transmission speed of 5 to 100 Mbps in wireless communication restricted areas of the 5 ships, it is believed that it is possible to reduce the weight of ships and costs by eliminating the communication cables by using surface wave communication as the back-bone network on ships.

최근 건조되고 있는 선박에는 안전 운항을 위하여 엔진제어시스템, 선박자동항법장치, 선박자동식별장치, CCTV 등의 전자장치들이 선박네트워크로 연결되어 있으며, 위성을 통하여 선박의 엔진상태 등의 선박 운항정보를 실시간으로 원격지에서 모니터링 할 수 있다. 선박의 내부와 외부통신 체계는 대체로 폐쇄적인 네트워크로 구성되어 있으나, 선박고유식별번호, 선박명, 선박종류, 항로, 목적항, 입항예정일, 화물종류 등의 선박의 주요 정보를 전송하는 선박자동식별장치는 무선 VHF로 전송되고, 선원은 개인용 컴퓨터를 이용하여 인터넷에 접속이 가능하기 때문에 선박 정보의 해킹 또는 바이러스에 취약해질 수 있다. 컴퓨터 바이러스 또는 해킹 등의 외부 칩입으로 인하여 선박항해시스템의 오류가 발생할 가능성이 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 선박통합네트워크에서 제어네트워크의 표준화 동향과 정보보호 기술의 필요성에 대하여 기술한다.

The current marine communication networks are usually composed of NMEA0183, NMEA2000, and MiTS protocols which are located on the physical layer based on RS-422, RS-485, CAN, and EtherNet. This paper proposes a new bridge based on the DC power line communication technique supported from the NMEA0183 to design inside marine systems.

This paper analyzes ship area network(SAN) with integrated gateway. For the analysis, this paper analyzes reference network architecture, end-to-end connection model, traffic model, and requirement of SAN. Also, the type of network element and minimum performance of integrated gateway is derived by ship area network simulator. The performance evaluation results show that a integrated gateway operating as network switch with performance over than 30,000 packets/sec can provides end-to-end connection with satisfaction of requirement of each end-to-end connection.

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.

CAN통신은 자동차 내부 전자제어장치 간의 통신을 위하여 개발되었으며, CAN통신은 UART 방식과는 달리 전송속도와 안정성 측면에서도 뛰어나고 배선 결선에서도 간편한 버스타입으로 구성할 수 있어서 배선량을 줄일 수 있어 생산시간의 단축과 신뢰성을 높일 수 있다. 최근에는 자동제동장치, 선박의 엔진제어 등 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 CAN통신을 기반으로 하여 3개의 리니어 액추에이터(Linear Actuator)를 통하여 수평 플랜트에 대한 수평제어를 구현하였다. 또한 본 논문의 수평제어시스템은 수평조절을 하는 액추에이터와 CAN통신을 내장한 AT90CAN128로 구성되어 있다. CAN통신을 기반의 수평제어를 통해 선박이나 자동차의 액추에이터를 조절하여 수평을 제어하고자 한다.

Internet traffic is rapidly increasing due to the spread of personal smart devices. It causes serious burden on base stations and access points which are installed in buildings, buses, trains, and ships. We consider a communication scenario aboard a cruise ship and propose efficient contents distribution schemes to alleviate the burden of access points with multi-device-to-multi-device(MD2MD) communication. The proposed transmission method is based on the hybrid STBC-SM scheme. We compare the error performance of MD2MD communication system on the cruise ship using space-time block coding (STBC) scheme, spatial multiplexing (SM) scheme. The proposed MD2MD communication system is expected to adopt in the ship-area-network (SAN) with efficient contents distribution and reliable communication.
