In this paper, dynamic GTS scheduling method based on IEEE 802.15.4 is proposed for wireless control system considering reliability and real-time property. The proposed methods can guarantee a transmission of real-time periodic and sporadic data within the limited time frame in factory environment. The superframe of IEEE 802.15.4 is used for the dynamic transmission method of real-time mixed traffic (periodic data, sporadic data, and non real-time message). By separating CFP and CAP properly, the periodic, sporadic, and non real-time messages are transmitted effectively and guarantee real-time transmission within a deadline. The simulation results show the improvement of real-time performance of periodic and sporadic data at the same time.

IR-UWB has been developed as a standard of indoor ranging technology, because it has robust and good transmission characteristics in indoor environments and it can be operated with low power. In this paper, a IR-UWB packet analyzer is designed and implemented based on IEEE 802.15.4a, which is useful in developing IR-UWB real time location system with resolution of a few ten centimeters. A sniffer device of the packet analyzer monitors IR-UWB wireless networks, captures MAC packet frames, and transmits packet frames to the packet analyzing computer. The packet analyzing program in a computer analyzes received MAC packet frames and displays parsed packet information for developing engineers. Developed packet analyzer is used to analyze IEEE 802.15.4a MAC protocol, and also it can be used in other IEEE 802 series MAC protocol by modifying some functions.

IEEE 802.15.4 is the standard wireless link technology for low power, low cost, but long lifetime applications including wireless sensor network (WSN). Currently, whether or not IP architecture should be used in WSN over its 802.15.4 link is under dispute. Such kind of arguments may last for a long time without some convincing experimental measurements of real case performances of IP over 802.15.4 implementation, and thus prevent the advance of related research. In RFC4944, IETF proposed the 6LoWPAN specification to enable IPv6 communication over low power, wireless personal area networks. We try to alleviate the dispute and make the direction clearer to the community so as to promote further valuable research in this topic.

IEEE 802.15.4 기반의 무선 센서 네트워크는 다양한 종류의 센서들로 구성된다. 이러한 센서들은 각각 다양한 주기들로 중심 노드에게 데이터를 전송하고자 한다. 슈퍼프레임마다의 주기적인 전송을 위해 IEEE 802.15.4에서는 GTS(Guaranteed Time Slot) 메커니즘을 제공한다. 하지만 하나의 센서 네트워크에서 슈퍼프레임 길이는 모두 동일하기 때문에 이보다 긴 주기를 갖는 센서들은 GTS를 할당받고도 데이터를 전송하지 않는 경우가 발생할 수 있다. 때문에 IEEE 802.15.4의 GTS 메커니즘에서는 낮은 사용 효율의 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제를 보완하고자 주기적 GTS 할당 방법(PGTS: Periodic Guaranteed Time Slot)을 제안한다. 주기적 GTS 할당 방법에서는 단말들이 GTS 요청 시 자신의 데이터 전송 주기를 PAN 코디네이터에게 보고하고, PAN 코디네이터는 이를 고려하여 단말의 주기에 따른 슈퍼프레임에서만 GTS 구간을 할당한다. 이를 통해 주기적 GTS 할당 방법은 기존 GTS 할당 방법보다 대역의 낭비를 줄여 GTS를 효율적으로 사용가능하도록 하고 더 많은 수의 단말들에게 GTS를 배정할 수 있게 한다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 주기적 GTS 할당 방법이 IEEE 802.15.4의 GTS 할당 방법보다 효율적이며 더 많은 수의 단말에게 GTS를 할당할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Smart Utility Network (SUN) is not only a core technology of intelligent green home networks but also a future technology which can be applicable to various areas instead of ZigBee. SUN should be compliment with IEEE 802.15.4g standard and can provide high link margin and stable communication data-rate for poor communication surrounding. This paper describes how to design the system simulation environment for the SUN RF transceiver, and also reports the required block-level specification for each circuit and various implementation impairments. Finally, the measured performances of the fabricated RF transceiver, which has utilized the system simulation results, completely satisfies the IEEE 802.15.4g SUN PHY standard.

IEEE802.15에서 표준화가 진행중인 WPAN(wireless personal network)은 개인영역 네트워크 혹은 근거리 무선 네트워크를 구축하기 위한 기술로, 개인용 컴퓨터, PDA, 주변기기, 휴대전화, 가전 등의 휴대나 이동 컴퓨팅을 위한 기술이다. IEEE802.15.1에서는 블루투스, IEEE802.15.4에서는 ZigBee를 위한 저속 WPAN(low rate WPAN) 그리고 IEEE802.15.3에서는 고속 WPAN(high rate WPAN)에 대한 표준화를 담당하고 있다. 본 고에서는 IEEE802.15 산하 TG3a에서 표준화 중인 Alt-PHY 기술로 경합을 벌이고 있는 MBOA(Multi-Band Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing Alliance) UWB(ultrawideband)에 대한 활성화를 꾀하고 있는 WiMedia Alliance의 시험인증 동향을 고찰하고자 한다.

IEEE 802.15.4a standard can provide a variety of location-based services for ZigBee or wireless network applications by adapting the time-of-arrival (TOA) ranging technique. The non-line-of-sight (NLOS) condition is the critical problem in the IEEE 802.15.4a networks, and it can significantly degrade the performance of the TOA-based localization. To enhance the location accuracy due to the NLOS problem, this paper proposes an energy-efficient low complexity localization algorithm. The proposed approach performs the ranging with the multicast method, which can reduce the message overhead due to packet exchanges. By limiting the search region for the location of the node, the proposed approach can enhance the location accuracy. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms previous algorithms in terms of the energy consumption and the localization accuracy.

In this paper, a software radio system, supporting the physical layer of IEEE 802.15.4 standard, has been developed using USRP(Universal Software Radio Peripheral) board and GNU Radio package of an open source development kit for software radio. The software radio system supports the standards of BPSK and OQPSK modulations for 868/915 MHz band and OQPSK modulation for 2.45 GHz band. To verify the operation of the developed system, it has been tested under the standard signals according to the frequency band and packet structures for the transmitting and receiving operation. At 2.4 GHz, the Smart RF EV board and CC2430 modules are used to check the proper operation of the software radio system. The system performance test shows that the emission power spectrum, the eye-pattern, and PER(Packet Error Rate) meet the standard. It has been confirmed that the developed system supports the PHY layer of IEEE 802.15.4.

IEEE 802.15.4 specification which defines low-rate wireless personal area network(LR-WPAN) has application to home or building automation, remote control and sensing, intelligent management, environmental monitoring, and so on. Recently, it has been considered as an alternative technology to provide multimedia services such as automation via voice recognition, wireless headset and wireless camera for surveillance. In order to evaluate capability of voice traffic on the IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN, we supposed two scenarios, voice traffic only and coexistence of voice and sensing traffic. For both cases we examined delay and packet loss rate in case of with and without acknowledgement, and various beacon period varying with beacon and superframe order values. In LR-WPAN with voice devices only, total 5 voice devices could be applicable and in the other case, i.e., coexisted cases of voice and sensor devices, a voice device was able to coexist with about 60 sensor devices.

This paper proposes the way that reduces power consumption of the IEEE 802.15.4-based sensor network. To reduce power consumption, we consider following two schemes; first scheme is the Adaptive Beacon Interval Control. The next is the Adaptive Superframe Duration Control. Our results show that these guarantee reducing power consumption in ns-2 simulator.
