This paper considers the cost minimization issue for sensor network systems where sensor energy is supplied by remote energy sources wirelessly. Assuming symmetric structures of sensor nodes and energy sources, cost minimization problem is formulated, where the cost of sensor networks is represented as a function of sensor node density and energy source coverage. The optimal solution for the problem is provided and simulation results show that the proposal scheme achieves around 19% cost reduction in comparision to a conventional scheme.

무선 센서 네트워크 환경에서 센서 필드에 배치된 센서 노드들 사이에 안전한 통신 인프라를 구성하기 위해 보안 키 설립이 필요하다. 현재까지 센서 노드들 사이의 보안 키 설립에 대한 여러 가지 기법들이 제안되어 왔으며 최근에는 배치 전 센서 노드들의 예측위치를 이용한 개선된 기법들이 제안되고있다. 현재까지 제안된 위치기반 기법들은 선택적인 노드포획에 안전하게 설계하기 위해 상대적으로 높은 키 저장량과 키 생성을 위한 많은 연산량을 요구한다. 우리는 위치 기반 기법에서는 단순히 piar-wise키를 저장하는 것이 저장량이나 연산량 면에서 효율적이라는 분석을 제시하고 pair-wise키를 이용하여 공격자의 선택적인 노드 포획에도 강한 효율적인 위치 기반 기법을 제안한다.

In this paper, we proposes a sensor node positioning algorithm that utilizes the geo-spatial elements and considers the factors to represent the propagation loss generated by the various obstacles in the urban wireless environments. First, we measures the propagation loss about the radio frequencies in major road of the urban, and defines the correlation between the measured loss and the environment information for the road and its surrounding get from Urban GIS. Secondly, through the utilization of the loss-environment correlation, we describes the detailed instruction for requiring the radio coverage decision and deploy system implementation for the wireless sensor node in urban. By the consideration of interference factor by the building and the linear structure of road, we can evaluate the path loss below 5dB RMS error. And, we proposes the way to revise the sensor node deployment based on the corelation and the measured path loss.

센서 노드는 정보 수집, 데이터 통신, 협력을 통한 모니터링과 같은 작업들을 수행하기 위해 군사 작전 지역, 산업 시설, 생태 환경 등에 배치된다. 응용 프로그램과 운영체제가 설치된 센서 노드를 센서 필드에 배치하고 나면 센서 노드는 쉽게 수거되기 어렵고 재프로그래밍을 위한 물리적인 연결이 힘들게 되어 응용의 변화에 따른 새로운 응용 프로그램의 설치, 수정과 같은 업데이트가 쉽지 않다. 또한 제한적인 시스템 자원을 가진 센서 노드의 특성상 이러한 재구성 기능은 업데이트에 사용되는 비용이 고려 되어야한다. 본 논문에서는 유한 상태 머신 (finite state machine) 기반의 운영체제인 SenOS에서 응용의 변화에 대처할 수 있도록 동적 재구성 기능이 구현된 형태와 특징을 기술한다.

Many studies which have been done for efficient installation and management of wireless sensor networks (WSN) include energy savings, key managements and sensor deployments. Sensor deployment problem is one of the most important and fundamental issues among them in that the topic is directly related with the system cost and performance. In this paper, we suggest a sensor deployment scheme that reduces the system cost of WSN while satisfying the fundamental system requirements of connectivity between sensor nodes and sensing coverage. Using graphical information system(GIS) which contains region-dependent information related with connectivity condition, the initial positions of sensors in the procedure simulated annealing (SA) are determined. The GIS information helps in reducing system cost reduction not only at the initial deployment of SA but also at the final deployment of SA which is shown by computer simulations.

센서 네트워크는 노드들이 무작위로 배치되며 노드들은 능동적으로 주변상황에 대응하여 정보를 전달해야 한다. 능동적인 정보 전달을 위해서는 신뢰성 있은 위치 정보와 데이터의 전송이 중요하며 기존의 에드혹 네트워크는 위치 인식 기능, 능동적인 주변 상황에 대응한 정보 전됨 기능을 지원하지 않는다. 기존의 라우팅 프로토콜에서는 링크 품질을 평가하기 위해 프레임 손실률을 기준으로 사용하나 정확도가 떨어지기 때문에 본 논문에서는 RSSI를 측정하여 링크품질 평가에 대한 정확도를 높이고, 또한 그리드 형태로 배치된 센서노드를 기반으로 무작위로 배치된 이동 노드들의 위치 인식이 가능하도록 제안한다.

We propose a group-based security scheme for hierarchical wireless sensor networks. We model the network for secure routing with 3-tier sensor network comprised of three types of nodes: Base Station, Group Dominator and ordinary Sensor Nodes. Group-based deployment is performed using Gaussian (normal) distribution and show that more than 85% network connectivity can be achieved with the proposed model. The small groups with pre-shared secrets form the secure groups where group dominators form the backbone of the entire network. The scheme is devised for dealing with sensory data aggregated by groups of collocated sensors; i.e., local sensed data are collected by the dominating nodes and sent an aggregated packet to the base station via other group dominators. The scheme is shown to be light-weight, and it offers a stronger defense against node capture attacks. Analysis and simulation results are presented to defend our proposal. Analysis shows that robustness can significantly be improved by increasing the deployment density using both the dominating and/or ordinary sensor nodes.

WSN based on wireless sensor nodes, Sensor nodes can not be reassigned and recharged if they once placed. Each sensor node comes into being involved to a communication network with its limited energy. But the existing proposed clustering techniques, being applied to WSN environment with irregular dispersion of sensor nodes, have the network reliability issues which bring about a communication interruption with the local node feature of unbalanced distribution in WSN. Therefore, the communications participation of the sensor nodes in the suggested algorithm is extended by 25% as the sensor field divided in the light of the non-uniformed distribution of sensor nodes and a static or a dynamic clustering algorithm adopted according to its partition of sensor node density in WSN. And the entire network life cycle was extended by 14% to ensure the reliability of the network.

It is important to locate nodes in the research of wireless sensor network. In this paper, we propose a method that estimates the positions of nodes by using adjacent node information and signal strength in wireless sensor network. With this method, we can find positions of nodes easily because we use Information that nodes have. And we can make a map for all the nodes because we can measure a relative position for an node whose position is not known based on anchor nodes whose positions are already known. In addition, we can confirm whether nodes are placed appropriately. We confirmed that we can locate positions of unknown nodes with small error through verifying the proposed method.

센서네트워크는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 사회에서 핵심 기술로 부각되고 있다. 이러한 센서네트워크는 노드들이 노출되거나 데이터 전송 시 일반 네트워크보다 보안에 취약하므로 안전한 통신을 위하여 센서 노드간 키를 설정하는 것은 보안을 위한 기본적인 요구사항이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 배치된 센서네트워크에서 셋업서버의 오버헤드를 줄이기 위하여 네트워크를 클러스터링하고 각 셀 안에 클러스터 헤더와 노드들을 배치한 후 클러스터내의 노드사이의 안전한 통신을 하기위한 pairwise key를 설정하는 기법을 제안하였다.
