The Low-Rate WPAN is a short range wireless networking technology characterized by low-rate, low-power, low complexity and low-cost. The LR-WPAN controls wireless channel access among network devices based on the contention-based CSMA/CA algorithm. Therefore, frame collisions may take place at any time, leading to the severe degradation of network performance. This paper proposes a new algorithm that changes back-off periods adaptively in the CSMA/CA process depending on network conditions, resulting in the reduction of frame collisions. Throughout extensive simulations, it turns out that varying the back-off periods dynamically shows better performance than maintaining the fixed back-off periods.

There are lots of studies on application systems using wireless sensor networks. As the application systems are adapted to industrial field, the reliability of these systems becomes new key feature. The lack of reliability is an obstacle to extension of wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose the monitoring system framework that can offer the reliability of wireless sensor networks using a micro camera module and wireless sensor network nodes. And also we propose the efficient transfer method for image information over low rate wireless networks. Using these system framework and transfer method, we implement WiSN(Wireless image Sensor Network) based fire monitoring system.

The development of wireless communications provides mobility and accessibility to the wire communication users. Wireless sensor network is one of the leading wireless communication techniques. The security mechanism for wired network communication cannot be applied to wireless sensor network because of the limited resource and computing capability of nodes. Furthermore, communication errors frequently occur and the speed is low. Thus, efficient key management scheme is required in low-speed environment. In this paper, we proposed an efficient and secured master key-based scheme compared to the existing scheme. The advantage of our scheme is that establishing and renewing the pair-wise key is possible. In addition, it provides functions such as establishing group keys and renewing it. Furthermore, adding nodes is enabled through our scheme. The master key-based scheme can be applied to military operations and to radio communications for confidential communications.

무선 센서 네트워크 시스템을 이용한 많은 응용 시스템이 연구되고 있는 가운데, 최근 무선 센서 네트워크 시스템의 신뢰성 확보에 대한 문제점이 대두되었다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 영상 데이터를 전송함으로써 보다 신뢰성 있는 정보를 제공할 수 있는 멀티미디어 센서 네트워크에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 영상 데이터를 저속의 멀티 홉 무선 센서 네트워크 환경에서 효율적으로 전송하는 프로토콜에 관련된 연구는 비교적 많지 않다. 지금까지의 통신 프로토콜들은 비교적 단순한 센싱 데이터를 전송할 수 있도록 설계되었으며, 새로운 응용들을 지원하기 위해서는 새로운 통신 프로토콜이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 연속적인 영상 데이터를 멀티 홉 환경에서 효율적으로 전송할 수 있는 다중 경로 간 간섭이 없는 간섭 회피 다중 경로 설정 기법을 제안한다.

Short-range wireless communication and networking technologies are becoming increasingly important in enabling useful mobile applications. for example, ZigBee technology is expected to provide low cost and low power connectivity for equipment that needs battery life as long as several months to several years. In addition, ZigBee can be implemented in mesh networks larger than is possible with Bluetooth. The main features of this ZigBee standard are network flexibility, low cost, very low power consumption, and low data rate in an adhoc self-organizing network among fixed, portable and moving devices. Home network/Home automation is one of the key market areas for Zigbee, with an example of a simple network This paper investigates the effect of short range wireless channel on the performance of Zigbee system and DSSS-BPSK signal transmission in AWGN, interference and Rician fading environments. And we investigate performance degradation due to interference and fading effects in short range wireless channel. In particular, the impacts of the fading and interference level on the bit error probability is shown in BER performance figures.

In this paper, we propose a scheme for real-time data retransmission in LR-WPAN to support the required QoS even in the severe channel error environments. In IEEE 802.15.4a, as the user data rate is supported up to 850Kbps, the real-time streaming data can be transferred more easily. In this research, we study the beacon-enabled mode in IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN standard. In the proposed scheme, special slots are dynamical1y assigned for retransmission of the packet that fails during a real-time data service, and in the severe channel error environments a time diversity is acquired. Analytical results show that the proposed scheme is more robust and achieves a much higher throughput than the previous protocol in LR-WPAN.

In general, the cost of transceiver for wireless network configuration is more expensive than that for wired network. However, in case of environmental management system in a tunnel, the cost can be minimized by adopting low rate tranceiver because the amount of the exchanged data for tunnel monitoring is very small. When the obtained data from sensor node is sent directly to the corresponding command node, there is no need to consider routing problem of the data transfer. However in this case, sensor nodes are required to be implemented with high power transmitter and experience high energy consumption. To tackle this problem, relay nodes can be used to transfer the data of tunnel monitoring, and suitable routing protocols for selecting optimum path are needed. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a routing algorithm and a self-configuration protocol for environment management system in tunnel.

When Handoff occurs at wireless network, existing AP search chooses one of various APs according to signal strength information. However, IEEE 802.11 uses Medium Access method with CSMA/CA that competes to obtain a channel by sharing medium. Therefore, network performance is heavily affected by the number of nodes and network congestion aside from signal strength. This scheme presented an additional AP selection indicator and a new handoff algorithm to realize handoff guaranteeing the network performance of mobile node in a process selecting new AP. This indicator is includes a handoff cost function reflecting the network information of mobile node, and the mobile node made handoff guaranteeing the network performance using network information possible by using this. also we classified the nodes into high-speed node and low-speed node. Then, when Handoff occurs, high-speed node was made itself choose AP by signal strength information. We also made the low-speed node choose its AP by using AP network information which is applied area. Hence, we demonstrate through simulation that gets an improvement in performance, even in the wireless network which many users concurrently access to, and it has considerable effects on aspects of resources and network management by distribution of users.
