In this paper, a remote submersion warning system based on multi-mode optical fiber(MMF) sensors and a wireless sensor network(WSN) are proposed. To improve the reliability and stability of the sensors, the dual optical fiber sensors combined to the optical coupler are demonstrated. A slave zigbee as a wireless sensor module was used as a platform to monitor and record the signal from the MMF sensors and then transmits these information to a master zigbee wirelessly. The monitoring system running the $LabVIEW^{(R)}$ software was connected to the internet to support the short message service(SMS) through extensible markup language(XML) web service. No matter where the managers are, they can always receive the real-time remote-monitoring data for safety check.

Zigbee 센서 네트워크에서는 multihop 전송을 위하여 tree topology와 beacon-enabled 네트워크 구성을 갖는다. 이러한 multihop beaconing 네트워크의 목적은 routing 노드들에게 Sleep할 기회를 주어 파워의 소모를 줄이고자 하는 데 있다. 파워의 소모를 줄이고 beacon 전송시의 충돌을 방지하기 위하여 beacon 전송 스케줄링이 필요한데 본 논문은 multihop을 지원하고 에너지 효율에 효과적인 beacon 전송 스케줄링 알고리즘과 이를 바탕으로 에너지 효율적인 라우팅 기법을 제안한다. 본 제안은 Zigbee coordinator의 beacon interval(BI)이 결정되면 네트워크 내의 beacon을 전송하는 모든 노드들은 Zigbee coordinator의 BI를 알고 모든 노드의 superframe duration(SD)은 동일하다고 가정한다. 이러한 가정하에서 beacon을 전송하는 노드들이 Zigbee coordinator의 BI 구간 중 항상 정해진 시간에 자신의 beacon을 전송한다면 beacon의 충돌을 막을 수 있음을 보여 준다. 또한 노드들이 서로의 beacon 전송 시간을 알 수 있기 때문에 목적지 노드의 beacon을 tracking하지 않고도 목적지 노드가 active 되는 시점에 패킷을 전송하면 에너지 측면에서 좀 더 효율적인 라우팅 기반을 제공한다는 것을 보여 준다.

Recently, owing to the development of ubiquitous sensor network and mobile communication technologies, many studies on healthcare system are being carried out. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a mobile u-Healthcare system based on sensor network. The u-Healthcare system is composed of three components: wireless sensor network at home, healthcare center located at remote site, and gateway which relays sensing physiological signals to healthcare center. In order to measure patient's physiological signal three sensors are used: three channel ECG sensor, pulse oximeter, and blood pressure sensor. Each sensor is mounted on a mote which can send gathered signal to the base node using Zigbee communication protocol. Once the base node receives physiological signal from each sensor, the client in the base node transfers the signal to the healthcare center. The received physiological signal at the healthcare center is analyzed and processed using various algorithms. The processed results are compared to the standard healthcare database and appropriate treatment including dietetics and exercise cure would be sent to the patient as feedback using SMS message or healthcare center web site. Each patient can check and manage one's health state every day using the healthcare system and gain a recovery under the treatments from minor health problems.

This paper describes the environmental monitoring system for supporting comfortable subways based on USN. Our development system includes the sensor field based on integrated sensor, monitoring system for supporting the local and remote monitoring and middle-ware performs the collecting, analyzing, and storing the data. In this paper, we installed the temperature, humidity, micro-dust sensor and water-level sensor for supporting the rail-roads and make up the integrated sensor enables to reuse the analog device from 4~20mA output with connection of wireless sensor device. Middleware includes the modules of collecting, analysis, and storing the data and monitoring system supports the local for administrator and remote monitoring for citizen services based on web. The middleware and monitoring in this paper is comprised of some components can reuse and support the change of application and sensors. Our development system supports the mobility of sensor devices and distributes system. Data collection and management function supported by middleware will use assessment.

Due to intense climate changes and extreme weather conditions a noticeable decrease has been observed in the growth of certain plants. The indoor plant factories would have certain benefits including increase in crop yield, reduction in distribution cost, and maintains the healthy freshness level of the agricultural product. Recently, an artificial light source with optimum wavelength is spot lighted to fulfill the need of light for the indoor plant factories. The energy efficient light emitting diodes (LED) provide the essential light energy for the proper growth of indoor cultivated plants. This work focuses to utilize ubiquitous sensors network(USN) in providing suitable environment for the proper growth of agricultural product inside the indoor plant factory. The proposed system makes use of sensors and actuators, communicating each other through WPAN, ZigBee network. The proposed system obscured the traditional indoor plant factories with easy installation and wireless connectivity of the sensors and actuators along with eliminating the web of wires reducing the initial installation and maintenance cost.

Wireless sensor networks that are easy to deploy and install are ideal for building a system that monitors the condition of the equipment in a factory environment where wiring is difficult. The ZigBee has characteristics of low price and low power compared with other wireless communication protocols and is suitable for a monitoring system requiring a plurality of nodes. ZigBee communication requires encryption security between devices because all protocol layers are based on OTM trusted by each other. In the communication between nodes, node authentication must be guaranteed and exposure of confidential information managed by each node should be minimized. The facilities of the factory are regular and stationary in distribution location. In order to protect the information gathered from the sensor in the factory environment and the actuator control information connected to the sensor node, we propose a cryptosystem based on the two - dimensional grid - based key distribution method similar to the distribution environment of the facility.

The convergence tendency accelerates the realization of the ubiquitous healthcare (u-Healthcare) between the technology including the power generaation and IT-BT-NT of the ubiquitous computing technology. By rapidly analyzing a large amount of collected from the sensor network with processing and delivering to the medical team an u-Healthcare can provide a patient for an inappropriate regardless of the time and place. As to the existing u-Healthcare, since the sensor node all transmitted collected data by using with the Zigbee protocol the processing burden of the base node was big and there was many communication frequency of the sensor node. In this paper, the u-Healthcare system in which it can efficiently apply to mobile apparatuses it provided the transfer rate in which it is superior to the bio-signal delivery where there are the life and direct relation which by using the Bluetooth instead of the Zigbee protocol and in which it is variously used in the ubiquitous environment was designed. Moreover, by applying the EEF(Embedded Event Filtering) technique in which data in which it includes in the event defined in advance selected and it transmits with the base node, the communication frequency and were reduced. We confirmed to be the system in which it is efficient through the simulation result than the existing Electrocardiogram Measurement system.
