A simple, accurate, secure, long-lasting, and portable hybrid positioning system is proposed and designed in this paper. It consists of a lighting LED that generates visible light data corresponding to position information of a target and a Zigbee wireless network communication module with low power, security, and service area expansion characteristics. Under an indoor environment where there is 23.62m distance between an observer and the target, the presented hybrid positioning system is tested and is verified with the functions of Zigbee three hop wireless networking and visible light communication (VLC) scheme. The test results are analyzed and discussed.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid MAC architecture for reducing energy consumption and maximizing network lifetime in wireless sensor networks. For this purpose, the hybrid MAC architecture is proposed for energy efficient by combining inter-cell TDMA and intra-cell CSMA scheme. Based on the ns-2 simulation result, we prove that the proposed architecture improves energy efficiency as compared with CSMA and TDMA.

Efficient service discovery mechanism is a crucial feature for a hybrid ad-hoc network supporting extension of a wireless ad-hoc network to the Internet. We propose an efficient cross-layer service discovery mechanism using non-disjoint multi-path source routing protocol for hybrid ad-hoc networks. Our scheme has advantages of multi-path routing protocol and cross-layer service discovery. Intuitively, it is not difficult to imagine that the cross-layer service discovery mechanism could result in a decreased number of messages compared to the traditional approach for handling routing independently from service discovery. By simulation, we show that faster route recovery is possible by maintaining multiple routing paths in each node, and the route maintenance overhead can be reduced by limiting the number of multiple routing paths and by maintaining link/node non-disjoint multi-path.

U-농촌, U-텔레메틱스, U-헬스케어, U-재난재해감시, U-홈 네트워크 등의 다양한 무선센서네트워크 응용들은 주로 배터리로 동작하기 때문에 저전력 기술은 USN설계에 있어 매우 중요한 요구사항이다. 또한, 응용에 따라서 실시간성을 필요로 하기도 한다. 이러한 요구사항들을 충족시키기 위해서는 다중 접속 프로토콜이 매우 중요한 역할을 하는데, 지금까지 연구?개발된 다중접속프로토콜은 경쟁방식, 비경쟁 방식, 하이브리드 방식으로 분류될 수 있다. 본고에서는 이들 각 분류에 해당하는 몇몇 대표적인 무선센서네트워크 다중접속 프로토콜을 살펴보고, 무선 센서네트워크를 하나의 주요 응용으로 보고 있는 IEEE 802.15계열의 표준화 동향을 함께 소개한다.

Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) is a wireless real-time information(Acquired from the sensor nodes that have the computing power and wireless communication capabilities.) collected, and to take advantage of processing techniques. Currently it is very diverse, such as environmental monitoring, health care, security, smart home, smart grid applications is that. Thus it is required in the wireless sensor network, the algorithm for the efficient use of the limited energy capacity. Suggested by the algorithm for selecting a cluster head node for a hybrid type and clustered, by comparing the amount of energy remaining and a connection between the nodes In this paper, we aim to increase efficiency and accuracy of the wireless sensor network.

Wireless sensor network technology is a rapidly growing technology of ubiquitous computing environment and application and research are being carried out in various fields. The sensor nodes constituting the wireless sensor network maintain the life cycle by using the battery in the distributed network environment, so energy efficiency is more important than QoS requirement. In MAC protocol of IEEE802.15.4, MAC protocol study adaptive to traffic and standardization work emphasizing reliability and efficiency in wireless sensor network environment are underway. but, Wireless sensor networks have the problem that the response speed of the sensor node drops as the energy efficiency decreases. In this paper, we designed the MAC protocol with improved energy efficiency of the whole network by analyzing the MAC protocol of the synchronous method and the hybrid method.

CDMA, WiBro, WLAN 네트워크를 포함하는 4세대(4G) 네트워크에서는 MN(Mobile Node)은 다양한 무선네트워크 인터페이스를 지원 해야만 한다. MN은 밧데리 전원에 의존하므로 에너지 효율은 네트워크 스캐닝의 관점에서는 매우 심각한 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 에너지효율을 위한 적응적인 네트워크 스캐닝 알고리즘을 제안 한다. 그 알고리즘은 네트워크 이동성과 사용자 트래픽등급을 고려한 두가지 방안으로 되어 있다. 네트워크 스캐닝 주기는 이동속도와 사용자 트래픽등급에 따라 적응적으로 변화 된다. 적응적인 네트워크 스캐닝 주기를 사용하여 MN은 불필요한 스캐닝을 최소화 하여 네트워크를 보다 에너지 효율적으로 스캐닝 할 수 있다. 제안한 네트워크 스캐닝 알고리즘을 위한 OPNET 시뮬레이션 결과들은 제안한 알고리즘이 고정된 스캐닝 주기를 가진 기존의 알고리즘보다 더 에너지 효율적이다는 것을 보여준다.

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.
