As a means of helping ships navigate safely, navigational aids in operation in the maritime envirionment require periodic management, and due to the nature of the environment, it is difficult to visually check the exact state. As a result, the smart navigation aid system, which improves route safety and operational efficiency, utillizes expertise including sensors, communications, and information technology, unlike general route markings. The communication environment of the smart navigation aid system, which aims to ensure the safety of the navigators operating the ship and the safety of the ship, uses a wireless communication network in accordance with the marine environment. The ship collects the information necessary for the maritime environment on the land and operates. In this process, there is a need to consider the wireless communication security guideline. Basically, based on IHO S-100 a standard for facilitating data exchange and SECOM, which provides an interface for safe communication. This paper research a security system for safe communication in a maritime environment. The security system for the basic interface based on the document was presented, and there were some vulnerabillties to data exchange due to the wireless communication characteristics of the maritime environment, and the user authetication part was added considering the vulnerability that unauthorized users can access the service.

Sea operation monitoring system is a system for the automatic ship operation that is used on the variety sea operations such as laying optical cables on the sea between the countries, laying cables on the seabed for a remote island, laying pipelines for the natural gas, and so forth. This system processes data which optained through setting up environment and input from several sensors, and display GPS information with ENC data. And this system processes not only data of root file about sea operation, but also realtime information from PDA of client wirelessly connected with AP on wireless LAN, In addition, this system can improve efficiency of the operation as a result of enabling free movement within valid range. This paper design and Implementation Monitoring system from above appropriate to the embedded system, and improve competitive power of ship through prevention of a ship accident, to keep minimizing operation loads and support both the automatic ship operation and the safety voyage.

The image information acquired by a model submarine is transmitted through the repeater. The control signal of a position for submarine and its speed is also controlled by the repeater. Shooting images of underwater circumstances are transmitted to the repeater where the received signal controls a position and speed of underwater submarine. This repeater is combined by a buoy that is floating on the surface to relay the signal of image as well as control between a control unit and a submarine whereas the repeater communicates wirelessly with a control unit. Due to wire communication between the repeater and the submarine, the underwater exploration can be smoothly carried out without a risk of loss of a model submarine. Also, connecting to the repeater and control unit wirelessly makes it possible to conduct easily the underwater exploration. The convergence technology that combines a wireless communication and a control as well as a model submarine is designed.

In this paper, a VHF antenna with monopole structure is designed and fabricated for marine wireless communication applications. The proposed antenna is based on a monopole design, and composed of circular ring and meander structure for VHF operation which cover VHF frequency bands. To obtain the optimized parameters, we used the simulator, Ansoft's High Frequency Structure Simulator(HFSS) and found the parameters that greatly effect antenna characteristics. Using the obtained parameters, the antenna is fabricated. The experiment results demonstrated that the proposed antenna satisfied the -10 dB impedance bandwidth requirement while covering the VHF bands. And measured characteristics of gain and radiation patterns are obtained for operating bands.

유비쿼터스 네트워크의 실현을 위한 4세대 통신방식의 유력한 후보로 부상하는 OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 통신방식이 육상에 주목받고 있으며, 고속 데이터 전송을 위한 무선랜의 표준기술로 확정되어 있다. 해상 통신의 경우에서도 OFDM 통신방식은 단파대역을 이용한 데이터 전송방식으로 제안되고 있으며, ITU (International Telecommunication Union)는 해상통신에서 32-point FFT를 사용하도록 권고하고 있다. 해상 통신에서는 해양사고 및 조난 시에도 통신이 이루어져야 하는 한계상황을 고려하면, OFDM 통신방식의 중요 디바이스인 FFT는 저전력으로 동작되어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 OFDM 방식의 중요 디바이스인 32-point FFT를 저전력으로 동작시키기 위해 radix-2와 radix-4를 이용하여 저전력 32-point FFT 알고리즘을 제안한다. 최적화된 설계로 32-point FFT를 저전력 동작이 가능하도록 설계하였으며, 제안한 알고리즘은 VHDL로 구현하고 FPGA Spartan3 board에 장착하여 Matlab의 이론값과 비교, 검증하였다. 제안된 32-point FFT는 해상통신에서의 OFDM 적용을 위한 선도기술로 유용할 것이다.

Equipments that can transmit maritime distress signals in accordance to Global Maritime Distress Safety System are the followings: A1 water(Very High Frequency, SART), A2 water(MF/HF Radio Equipment), A3 water(INMARSAT), A4 water(Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon). Institutions with the capacity to receive distress signals are Korea Coast Guard affiliated radio stations, patrol ships, Rescue Coordination centers, Vessel Traffic centers, Complex problems regarding repetitive distress alarms, inaccurate statistics, multiple control towers are existent. Consequently, effective measurement to resolve dispersed operating maritime distress signal system are in time of need. Moreover, current KCG Headquarter is considering to integrate five distress radio stations dispersed across nation into a single international safety communication center. The integration of radio stations are efficient in terms of information coordination between nations, however, it cannot support efficient response to real-time maritime incident. Therefore, in this study, a new system that can rapidly response to real-time maritime incident will be proposed.

Though there were many research and development about telemedicine on land recently, not yet applied to that on the shore. In this paper, when emergency clinic situation were generated in a ship on shore, the telemedicine system was designed and implemented for transfer and clinic service to doctors on the land by measuring basic body signals of patients. Presently, wireless communication and inmarsat telephone are usually used by simple questions and clinic consults to remote doctors when emergency situation were happened in the ship. In this paper, the telemedicine system on the shore were developed for improving this problems by measuring patient's fundamental conditions such as the blood pressure, pulse, the respiratory condition, electrocardiogram, body temperature, patient image and sending these information to remote doctors on land for more accurate prescription. The developed system can supply the high level clinic service to emergency patients on the shore and cope with the emergency situation in ship.
