무선 센서 망에서 다중싱크 이동성에 관련된 연구는 단순히 독립된 단일싱크 이동성 확장에 기인한다. 하지만, 다중 싱크의 경우 싱크 상호간의 이동 결집도에 따라 두 가지 그룹으로 분류될 수 있다: 싱크간의 산재된 싱크그룹(loosely coupled sink group)과 밀집된 싱크그룹(tightly coupled sink group)이다. 전자는 기존 다중싱크 연구에서 가정하고 있는 일반적인 모델이다. 반면, 후자의 예로는 전쟁터에서 동일한 작전을 수행하는 작은 분대 단위의 군인들의 이동성 등이 있다. 본 논문은 밀집된 싱크그룹 이동성을 갖는 다중 싱크를 위한 데이터전달 프로토콜을 제안한다.

Previous research on sensor networks mainly focused on efficient transmission of data from sensors to fixed sink nodes. Recently there has been active research on mobile sink nodes, but the re-search of an environment where both fixed sink nodes and mobile sinks are present at the same time is rather scarce. This paper proposes a technique for context gathering by mobile devices with the sink functionality added through fixed sinks under a previously built, cluster based multi hop sensor network environment. To this end, clustering of mobile devices were done based on the fixed sinks of a previously built sensor network, and by using appropriate fixed sinks, context gathering was made possible. By mathematical comparison with TTDD routing protocol, which was proposed for mobile sinks, it was conformed that performance increases in energy with the number of mobile sinks, and with the number of movements by mobile devices.

Communications for mobile sink groups such as rescue teams or platoons bring about a new challenging issue for handling mobility in wireless sensor networks. To do this, many studies have been proposed to support mobile sink groups. When closely looking at mobile sink groups, they can be divided into (multiple) small groups according to the property of applications. For example, a platoon can be divided into multiple squads to carry out its mission in the battle field. However, the previous studies cannot efficiently support the division of mobile sink groups because they do not address three challenging issues engendered by the mobile sink group division. The first issue is to select a leader sink for a new small mobile sink group. The efficient data delivery from a source to small mobile sink groups is the second issue. Last, the third issue is to share data between leader sinks of small mobile sink groups. Thus, this paper proposes a routing protocol to efficiently support the division of mobile sink groups by solving the three challenging issues. For the first issue, the proposed protocol selects a leader sink of a new small mobile sink group which provide a minimum summation of the distance between the new leader sink and the previous leader sink and the distance from the new leader sink to all of its member sinks. For the efficient data delivery from a source to small mobile sink groups in the second issue, the proposed protocol determines the path to minimize the data dissemination distance from source to small mobile sink group by calculating with the location information of both the source and the leader sinks. With regard to the third issue, the proposed protocol exploits member sinks located among leader sinks to provide efficient data sharing among leaders sinks by considering the location information of member sinks. Simulation results verified that the proposed protocol is superior to the previous protocol in terms of the energy consumption.

본 논문에서는 이동 싱크 시스템을 위한 앵커 노드의 결정 방식에 대해 고려한다. 분산 지역의 센서 시스템에 대한 싱크 시스템의 방문에서 주기적 이동이 고려될 수 있다. 이동 싱크가 분산된 지역을 주기적으로 방문할 경우 분리된 지역의 센서 시스템은 싱크 시스템의 방문 시간을 예측할 수 있다. 싱크 시스템은 지정된 시간 안에 방문 지역에 접근하며 앵커 노드는 싱크 시스템과의 네트워크 연결을 수행한다.

The sink mobility can request frequent routing change in sensor networks. By active mobility a sink can gather needed information easily so that the network availability will be higher. However, instead static sink system, the connection between sensor nodes and a mobile sink can be changed continuously. That is, the rerouting should be implemented caused by the routing alteration. It is two connection setups for the mobile sink system: the connection from sink to sensor nodes and the connection from sensor nodes to sink. However, sensor nodes actually have many functional limitations. Hence, the low cost scheme will be needed for the connection setup from sensor nodes to the mobile sink. In this paper, we propose an agent scheme to the connection setup from sensor nodes to the mobile sink. The agent scheme provides the reliable setup scheme to the connection by using an agent sector.

A continuous object is large phenomenon diffusing continuously. Therefore, a large number of sources is a major problem in researches for continuous object. Existing studies for continuous object detecting focus on reducing communication cost generated by the sources. But, they only deal with the static sink located in fixed position. In this paper, we propose the location update scheme for mobile sinks in continuous object detecting. Generally, to receive data, a mobile sink should notice its current location to sources. Previous studies for location update of mobile sinks consider individual object. So they need a lot of energy for location update when a mobile sink notices its current location toward many sources of a continuous object independently. Proposed scheme exploits regional locality of the sources involved one continuous object. The regional locality makes the location update of mobile sinks efficient. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme superior to existing schemes in terms of energy efficiency.

무선 센서 네트워크는 센서노드와 싱크로 구성되며, 센서 노드로부터 생성된 신호들은 싱크로 전송되어 처리된다. 센서네트워크는 모든 노드들이 한정된 에너지를 가지고 운용되기 때문에 센서 네트워크를 오랫동안 유지하기 위한 연구가 많이 진행되어 왔다. 대부분의 연구들은 싱크를 고정으로 가정하였다. 그러나 실제 환경에서는 사람이나 자동차 등에 의해 싱크가 이동성을 가지는 경우가 많다. 본 논문에서는 이동 싱크에 기반한 그리드 방식을 적용하여 노드의 에너지 소비를 줄이기 위한 방안을 제안한다. 이 방안은 대부분의 라우팅 작업량을 이동 싱크가 처리하고, 무선 센서지역을 세분화하여 운용함으로써 전력 소비를 줄인다. 또한 시뮬레이션에 의한 성능 평가를 통해 제안방안에 대해 분석하였다.

Wireless Sensor Network consists of sensor nodes and sink. A sink receives and processes signals created from sensor nodes. Many studies have been performed, since sensor network allows multiple nodes to run using a limited amount of energy, Most researches have focused on using fixed sink. However, in many cases, the sink has mobility effected by man, cars, and etc. This research proposes three methods for reducing the node's energy consumption which is applied the Grid method based on mobile sink. Most routing processes handled by the mobile sink and wireless sensor area is separated and operated respectively. So, this research allows decreasing the power costs. In addition, it also proposes methods using simulation to test the quality of the performance.

Data dissemination schemes for wireless sensor networks, where sinks and event targets might be mobile, has been one of the active research fields. For doing that, stationary nodes gathered data on behalf of mobile sinks and the relayed data in previous studies. their schemes, however, lead to frequent query flooding and report congestion problems over sink moving. We propose a data dissemination protocol to solve both the query flooding and the report congestion problem. Our scheme improves the two shortcomings through sink location management. Finally, we prove effectiveness of our protocol through computer simulations.

본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크에서 수명을 연장하기 위해 이동하는 모바일 싱크를 사용할 때 싱크가 이동함에 따라 늘어난 전체 네트워크 트래픽 량을 줄여 더욱더 수명을 연장하기 위해서 클러스터를 도입한다. 고정된 위치에서 싱크가 데이터를 수집할 경우 싱크 한 홉 내에 있는 노드들이 에너지를 빨리 소모하여 네트워크 파티션이 일어나기 쉽기 때문에 모바일 싱크를 사용하여 네트워크 수명을 연장하는 방법이 연구되었다. 이에 우리는 모바일 싱크가 이동하는 패턴이 주어지고 센서들로부터 매 T 마다 데이터를 받는다고 할 때 모바일 싱크와 클러스터를 함께 사용하였을 경우 네트워크 성능을 분석하고 에너지 효율적인 클러스터 형성 방법에 대해서 제안한다.
