최근 사물 인터넷(Internet of things) 의 발달에 따라, 스마트 디바이스 간의 네트워크 및 이를 구축할 수 있는 기술에 대한 수요가 급증하고 있다. 이러한 스마트 디바이스 간의 저 전력 저 손실 네트워크(Low power and Lossy network) 환경에서 쓰이는 대표적인 프로토콜로 CoAP(Constrained Application Protocol)가 있으며, 해당 프로토콜은 다양한 네트워크 환경에 유연하게 적용할 수 있도록 패킷 재전송 주기 설정 옵션을 가진다. 하지만 하나의 디바이스에서 네트워크 환경이 패킷 손실 및 지연여부를 구분 할 수 없기 때문에, 네트워크 상태 파악을 위해서는 수신과 응답 양측 디바이스의 패킷 흐름을 확인해야 하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 프로토콜의 정보를 기반으로 네트워크 상태를 파악 할 수 있는 새로운 필드 값을 적용하여 CoAP 패킷 재전송 주기를 네트워크 환경의 상태에 따라 동적으로 설정해주는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 동적으로 재전송 주기를 설정함으로써, 패킷 손실에 의한 서비스 장애 극복 및 패킷 지연 상황에서의 불필요한 패킷 재전송을 방지하여 에너지 효율성을 향상시키고 서비스 안정성을 보장한다.

Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) is constituted by low-cost and low-energy, So the most important issue is that the task of the sensor performs successfully by using less energy. In previous WSN, determination of the header and gathering sensor data solution by header give great affection to the performance of network. In this paper, we propose a Hybrid transmission method which considers the direction of data collections. In the proposed hybrid routing method, all of the sensors determine that transmission the data to the sink node directly or indirectly using the head node depend on the location of the head node in the cluster. The performance is compared with the LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) by experimental analysis. The results show that the preposed method can reduce the communication distance and energy consumption by avoiding the detour direction of transmission of the data.

Because sensor nodes operate with the limited power based on battery which cannot be easily replaced, energy efficiency is a fundamental issue pervading the design of communication protocols developed for wireless sensor networks. In wireless networks, energy efficient MAC protocols can usually be described as being either a contention-based protocol or a schedule-based protocol. It is suitable to use combination of both contention-based protocol and schedule-based protocol, because the strengths and weaknesses of these protocols are contrary to each other. In this paper, in order to minimize energy consumption of sensor nodes and maximize network lifetime, we propose a new MAC protocol called "Tiered-MAC" The Tiered-MAC uses a schedule-based TDMA inside maximum transmission range of sink node and a contention-based CSMA otherwise. Therefore, by efficiently managing the congested traffic area, the Tiered-MAC reduces the unnecessary energy consumption. Based on the ns-2 simulation result, we prove that the Tiered-MAC improves the energy-efficiency of sensor network nodes.

According to the development of ubiquitous technologies, sensor networks is used in various area. In particular, medical field is one of the significant application areas using sensor networks, and recently it has come to be more important according to standardization of the body sensor networks technology. There are special characteristics of their own for medical sensor networks, which are different from the one of sensor networks for general application or environment. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical medical sensor networks structure considering own properties of medical applications, and also introduce transmission mechanism based on hierarchical structure. Our mechanism uses the priority and threshold value for medical sensor nodes considering patient's needs and health condition. Through this way Cluster head can transmit emergency data to the Base station rapidly. We also present the new key establishment mechanism based on key management mechanism which is proposed by L. Eschenauer and V. Gligor for our proposed structure and transmission mechanism. We use key provisioning for emergency nodes that have high priority based on patients' health condition. This mechanism guarantees the emergency nodes to establish the key and transmit the urgent message to the new cluster head more rapidly through preparing key establishment with key provisioning. We analyze the efficiency of our mechanism through comparing the amount of traffic and energy consumption with analysis and simulation with QualNet simulator. We also implemented our key management mechanism on TmoteSKY sensor board using TinyOS 2.0 and through this experiments we proved that the new mechanism could be actually utilized in network design.

센서 네트워크는 주로 물리적인 공간의 모니터링이나 위치 추적과 같은 주변의 정보를 얻고자 하는 환경에 사용되며, 이러한 정보는 비대칭적이고 비신뢰적인 무선 링크로 인해 불필요한 재전송을 요구하고 많은 손실이 발생한다. 이 때문에 신뢰적이고 에너지 효율적인 링크를 선택하기 위해 RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator), LQI(Link Quality Indicator)를 이용하여 무선 링크에 대한 품질을 추정하는 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 그 일차적인 단계로써 단일 홉 무선 센서 네트워크에서 MICAZ에 구현된 RSSI, LQI 값을 이용하여 노드간 무선 링크 품질을 모니터링하는 응용을 구현하였다. 구현 시나리오는 무선 링크의 비대칭성을 고려하기 위해, 순방향 링크 품질의 경우 센서 플랫폼이 BS로부터 수신한 요구 메시지의 RSSI, LQI 값을 응답 메시지에 캡슐화하여 BS로 전송하도록 하였고, 역방향 링크 품질의 경우 BS가 센서 플랫폼으로부터 수신한 응답 메시지의 RSSI, LQI 값을 기반으로 하였다. 또한 BS로 취합된 이러한 두 링크 품질을 PC상에 시각적으로 표시하기 위해 자바 기반의 링크 품질을 모니터링하는 응용을 구현하였다. 간단한 실험을 통해 RSSI, LQI로 얻은 무선 링크의 품질과 특성을 확인하였다.

We proposed a 2 level tree based cluster based routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks. it is our crucial goal to establish improved clustering's structure in order to extend average node life-time and elevate the average packet delivery ratio. Because of insufficient wireless resources and energy, the method to form and manage clusters is useful for increasing network stability. but cluster-head fulfills roles as a host and a router in clustering protocol of Ad hoc networks environment. Therefore energy exhaustion of cluster-head causes communication interruption phenomenon. Effective management of cluster-head is key-point which determines the entire network performance. The scheme focuses on improving the performance the life time of the network and throughput through the management of cluster-heads and its neighbor nodes. In simulation, we demonstrated that it would obtain averagely better 17% performance than LS2RP.

Due to the advantages of a conveniet, inexpensive installation, flexibility, and scalability, Wireless AMR systems are recently preferred over wired AMR systems. However, a multi-hop supported AMR network, which generally covers large areas, may create energy wastage problem, energy unbalance, and high interference hazard due to a large amount of concurrent-intensive metering data in the network. Therefore in this paper we propose a novel data gathering method which can solve abovementioned problems as well as conserve energy, by reducing the traffic in the network. In addition, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme shows superior performance to the conventional data transmission method.

In IP-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs), it might be necessary to distribute application updates to the sensor nodes in order to fix bugs or add new functionality. However, physical access to nodes is in many cases extremely limited following deployment. Therefore, network reprogramming protocols have recently emerged as a way to distribute application updates without requiring physical access to sensor nodes. In order to solve the network reprogramming problem over the air interface, this thesis presents a new scheme for new update code propagation using fragmentation scheme and network coding. The proposed code propagation method roughly shows reduced performance improvement in terms of the number of data exchange compared with the previously proposed pipelining scheme. Further, It is shows enhanced reliability for update code propagation and reduced overhead in terms of the number of data exchange. As a result, we can efficiently perform the software update from the viewpoint of speed, energy, and network congestion when the proposed code propagation system is applied. In addition, the proposed system solves overhearing problems of network coding such as the loss of original messages and decoding error using the predefined message. Therefore, our system allows a software update system to exchange reliable data in wireless sensor networks.

IEEE 802.11에서는 브로드캐스트 프레임을 보낼 때 Basic access procedure를 따른다. 즉, 브로드캐스트 프레임을 보내기 전에 RTS / CTS 프레임의 교환을 하지 않아서 신뢰성을 보장할 수 없기 때문에 또한 충돌로 유실된 프레임에 대해 상위 계층에서의 재전송을 만들어 낼 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 기법들이 제안되었다. 본 논문은 기존에 제안된 알고리즘의 문제점을 알아보고, IEEE 802.11에서의 자원을 예약율을 높일 수 있는 새로운 브로드캐스트 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 저전력 브로드캐스트 기법은 프레임 충돌을 방지하여 재전송을 피할 수 있기 때문에 단말기의 에너지 소비 효율측면에서도 이득을 가져올 수 있음을 수학적 분석을 통하여 확인하였다.

This paper presents a regionalized time slotted channel hopping (TSCH) slotframe-based aerial data collection using wake-up radio. The proposed scheme aims to minimize the delay and energy consumption when an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) collects data from sensor devices in the large-scale service area. To this end, the proposed scheme divides the service area into multiple regions, and determines the TSCH slotframe length for each region according to the number of cells required by sensor devices in each region. Then, it allocates the cells dedicated for data transmission to the TSCH slotframe using the ID of each sensor device. For energy-efficient data collection, the sensor devices use a wake-up radio. Specifically, the sensor devices use a wake-up radio to activate a network interface only in the cells allocated for beacon reception and data transmission. The simulation results showed that the proposed scheme exhibited better performance in terms of delay and energy consumption compared to the existing scheme.
