IEEE 802.16 standard specifies the broadband wireless access (BWA) system including sleep mode to minimize the power consumption by a mobile station (MS). This paper outlines the overall operation of sleep mode and proposes a method to improve the power saving efficiency of the IEEE 802.16 sleep mode. The proposed method not only decreases the number of bytes that a MS in sleep mode needs to receive during listening interval but allows to indicate a control-specific operation such as periodic ranging.

센서 네트워크 환경에서 센서 노드에게 가장 큰 이슈는 저전력이다. 이러한 센서 노드에서 저전력화를 제공하는 것은 하드웨어 뿐만 아니라 소프트웨어에서도 중요하다. 유휴 시간에 마이크로 컨트롤러가 활성 상태로 대기 하는 대신 마이크로 컨트롤러가 제공하는 파워 슬립 모드를 이용하여 모든 주변 장치의 전원을 차단함으로서 저전력을 실현할 수 있다. 그러나 빈번한 슬립 모드 진입은 오히려 더 많은 전력을 소비하기 때문에 슬립 모드로 들어가는 시기와 나오는 시기를 적절하게 제어 하는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 타이머 인터럽트를 활용하여 슬립 모드 제어 정책을 포함하는 컴포넌트 기반의 멀티 스레드 지원 센서 OS를 구현하였다. 코드 크기의 최적화로 성능 향상을 꾀하였으며, 이로서 전력 소비도 줄일 수 있다. 또한, 컴포넌트 기반의 구조는 다양한 하드웨어를 쉽게 지원할 수 있으며, 응용 분야에 따라 다양한 어플리케이션을 쉽게 제작할 수 있도록 설계하였다.

This paper proposes a structure of low-power MOS current-mode logic circuit with sleep-transistor to reduce the leakage current. The sleep-transistor is used to high-threshold voltage transistor to minimize the leakage current. The $16\;{\times}\;16$ bit parallel multiplier is designed by the proposed circuit structure. Comparing with the conventional MOS current-model logic circuit, the circuit achieves the reduction of the power consumption in sleep mode by 1/50. This circuit is designed with Samsung $0.35\;{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The validity and effectiveness are verified through the HSPICE simulation.

This paper proposes a power management scheme for sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks based on sensor node operating system supporting the sensor transparency, which can turn off the sensors when the MCU is in sleep mode. We classify the sensors in two types, that is, event sensors and polling sensors, to be able to decide whether the sensor is a type of sensors whose power supply can be turned off or not, and we design a new scheduler to support recognition of those different types of sensors. Implementing and evaluation of the scheduler and the power manager supporting sensor transparency are shown based on Nano-Q+.

This paper presents a smart parking guidance system based on IoT car-stoppers. The car-stopper embedding an IoT sensor module has the advantage of easy installation compared to conventional parking sensors buried in ground. The parking status data are transferred to the IoT gateway by the sequential point-to-point communication between the car-stoppers. The data transferred from the IoT gateway are stored in the web server, and parking spaces can be monitored remotely through the Android app in a smart device. An active/sleep cycle method using a watch dog timer is employed to reduce the power consumption of the battery powered car-stopper. The power consumption of the car-stopper is measured to be 80 and 25 mW at the active and sleep mode, respectively. A configuration of ultra-low-power IoT sensor module is proposed to minimize the power consumption in the sleep mode. The operation of the implemented system has been verified in a real-world parking lot.

A new slip power recovery system applying a switch mode converter to the rotor circuit of the wound rotor induction machine is proposed and investigated in this paper. With the analysis of the steady-state performances of the proposed system, it can be shown that the speed can be controlled by the duty ratio of the converter switch and the several characteristics of a conventional system can be also improved. In particular, the low power factor and the harmonic components in the line current, which are the main disadvantages of the conventional system, is significantly improved, and linear speed regulation can be obtained. Theoretical and experimental results are presented and illustrated to demonstrate the satisfactory working of the proposed system.

In the braking of railway rolling stock, the slip that is the relative velocity between train body and its wheel affects the adhesive force which is connected to the braking force. The coefficient of the adhesive force changes in accordance with the slip and the condition of a rail road. Namely, its value increases upon the maximum on a rail condition, and there it declines conversely while the magnitude of slip keeps rising on. First, this paper introduced a reference slip generator so that can utilize maximum adhesive forces with a disturbance observer for estimating unmeasurable current adhesive forces which is as an input of the generator. And, an adaptive sliding-mode control system has been synthesized for minimizing the error between reference and current slip. Finally the effectiveness of the proposed control system is evaluated by computer simulation.

Main design issues for MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol in underwater sensor networks are long propagation delay caused by the low speed of sound, difficult synchronization, and energy-limited node's life. We aimed to mitigate the problems of strict synchronization and channel inefficiency of TDMA and also the throughput degradation induced by unavoidable collisions in contention based MAC protocols. This proposed protocol improved not only the energy efficiency by adopting a sleep-mode, but also the throughput by reducing collisions and increasing channel efficiency.
