The key of USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technology is low power wireless communication technology and proper resource allocation technology for efficient routing. The distinguished resource allocation method is needed for efficient routing in sensor network. To solve this problems, we propose an algorithm that can be adopted in USN with making up for weak points of PQ and WRR in this paper. The proposed algorithm produces the control discipline by the fuzzy theory to dynamically assign the weight of WRR scheduler with checking the Queue status of each class in sensor network. From simulation results, the proposed algorithm improves the packet loss rate of the EF class traffic to 6.5% by comparison with WRR scheduling method and that of the AF4 class traffic to 45% by comparison with PQ scheduling method.

IEEE 802.15.4는 저전력 무선 개인 네트워크 기술의 표준으로서 USN(ubiquitous sensor network)의 핵심 무선 통신 기술로 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나 IEEE 802.15.4는 제한된 RF 전송범위와 스타 토폴로지를 기반으로 하는 통신 기법만을 제공하고 있으며, 인접한 PAN 간(inter-PAN)의 통신 기술은 정의되어 있지 않다. 이러한 기술상의 제약으로 IEEE 802.15.4는 통신 영역이 매우 제한적이며, 이에 따라 통신시 음영지역이 발생하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 현재까지 통신영역 확장을 위한 주요 기술적 사항인 효율적인 토폴로지 형성방법, 주소할당 및 라우팅 방법, 인접 네트워크 간의 비콘 충돌 회피 기법 등에 대한 활발한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 이중 인접한 네트워크간의 비콘 충돌 방지 기법은 IEEE 802.15.4의 네트워크가 비콘에 의해서 관리된다는 점을 고려하였을 때 데이터 전송 및 네트워크 유지를 위해 우선적으로 해결되어야 할 사항이다. 본 연구에서는 제안된 비콘 충돌 회피 기법을 분석하고, 이중 비활성 구간(inactive portion)을 활용한 기법에 대한 구체적인 구현 방안을 제시 하였다. 또한 상용 임베디드 장치인 Nano-24에 설계한 비콘 충돌 회피 기법을 구현하여 동작을 검증, 분석하였다.

Recently, a variety of research of multi-hop routing protocol have been done to balance the sensor node energy consumption of WSN(wireless sensor network) and to improve the node efficiency for extending the life of the entire network. Especially in multi-hop protocol, a variety of models have been concerned to improve energy efficiency and apply in the reality. In multi-hop protocol, we assumption that energy consumption can be adjusted based on the distance between the sensor nodes. However, according to the physical property of the actual WSN, it's hard to establish this assumption. In this dissertation, we propose low-power sub-cluster protocol to improve the energy efficiency based on the spread of distance. Compared with the previous protocols, this proposed protocol can be effectively used in the wireless sensing networks.

In the IoT network environments for LLNs(Low power and Lossy networks), IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy networks(RPL) has been proposed by IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force). The goal of RPL is to create a directed acyclic graph, without loops. As recommended by the IETF standard, RPL route recovery mechanisms in the event of a failure of a node should avoid loop, loop detection, DIO Poisoning. In this process, route recovery time and control message might be increased in the sub-tree because of the repeated route search. In this paper, we suggested RPL route recovery method to solve the routing overhead problem in the sub-tree during a loss of a link in the RPL routing protocol based on IoT wireless networks. The proposed method improved local repair process by utilizing a route that could not be selected as the preferred existing parents. This reduced the traffic control packet, especially in the disconnected node's sub tree. It also resulted in a quick recovery. Our simulation results showed that the proposed RPL local repair reduced the recovery time and the traffic of control packets of RPL. According to our experiment results, the proposed method improved the recovery performance of RPL.

The sensor network that is component of the Internet of Things require a lot of research to select the best route to send information to the anchor node, to collect a number of environment and cost efficient for communication between the sensor life. On the sensor network in one of the components of IOT's environment, sensor nodes are an extension device with low power low capacity. For routing method for data transmission between the sensor nodes, the connection between the anchor and the node must be accurate with in adjacent areas relatively. Localization CA (Centroid Algorithm) is often used although an error frequently occurs. In this paper, we propose a range-free localization method between sensor nodes based on the Radical Line in order to solve this problem.

In recent years, the growing interest in wireless sensor network has resulted in thousands of publications. Most of this research is concerned with delivering raw data such as temperature, pressure, or humidity. Recently, the focus of sensor network paradigm is changing for delivering multimedia contents. However, most existing routing protocols are not very practical for transmitting multimedia contents in resource constrained sensor networks. In this paper, we propose an optimized node-disjoint multi-path routing protocol for throughput enhancement and load balancing. We focused on how to allocate traffic to independent multiple end-to-end routes. Decentralized transmission using our node-disjoint multi-path routing scheme results in bandwidth aggregation and throughput enhancement. In addition, our scheme provides ways to remove link-joint routes for decreasing routing overhead.

Wireless sensor network consists of sensor nodes which are disseminated closely to each other to collect informations for the various requests of a sensor application applied for sensing phenomenons in real world. Each sensor node delivers sensing informations to an end user by conducting cooperative works such as processing and communicating between sensor nodes. In general, the power supply of a sensor node is depends on a battery so that the power consumption of a sensor node decides the entire life time of a sensor network. To resolve the problem, optimal routing algorithm can be used for prolong the entire life time of a sensor network based on the information on the energy level of each sensor node. In this paper, different from the existing Directed Diffusion and SPTN method, we presents a data dissemination protocol based on lower-power consumption that effectively maximizes the whole life time of a sensor network using the informations on the energy level of a sensor node and shortest-path hops. With the proposed method, a data transfer path is established using the informations on the energy levels and hops, and the collected sensing information from neighboring nodes in the event-occurring area is merged with others and delivered to users through the shortest path.

Multicast has been a key routing service for efficient data dissemination in underwater acoustic sensor networks. In sensor networks, there are several multicast routing protocol which reflects sensor network nature. However, existing routing scheme was not targeted at underwater acoustic sensor networks which is hard to provide battery continually. Therefore, a specialized routing algorithm is essential for acoustic sensor networks. In this paper, we propose angle aided multicast routing algorithm for decreasing routing computation complexity, including virtual Euclidean Steiner point. Simulation results show better performance than exist routing Position Based Multicast, Geographic Multicast Routing. such as low computation capability and limited power consumption.

Recently, wireless sensor network(WSN) have been used in various fields to implement ubiquitous computing environment. WSN uses small, low cost and low power sensors in order to collect information from the sensor field. This paper proposes a clustering algorithm for energy efficiency of sensor nodes. The proposed algorithm is based on conventional LEACH, the representative clustering protocol for WSN and it prolongs network and nodes life time using sleep technique and changable transmission mode. The nodes of the proposed algorithm first calculate their clustering participation value based on the distance to the neighbor nodes. The nodes located in high density area will have clustering participation value and it can turn to sleep mode. Besides, proposed algorithm can change transmission method from conventional single-hop transmission to multi-hop transmission according to the energy level of cluster head. Simulation results show that the proposed clustering algorithm outperforms conventional LEACH, especially non-uniformly deployed network.
