RFID/USN is considered as a key convergence technology in future ubiquitous network. In RFID/USN, the power saving issue receives a great attention due to limited battery lifetime of sensor node. In this paper, we propose a new power saving algorithm, which takes advantage of long-term sleep period. To provide a full network connectivity and balance the battery consumption among sensor nodes, the proposed algorithm intelligently selects the long-term sleep sensor nodes. With mathematical analysis and simulations, we prove that the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the power consumption of sensor nodes as compared to existing algorithms.

Existing methods to measure are based on ToA (Timer of Arrival), RSS (Received Signal Strength), AoA(Angle of Arrival) and other methods. In this paper, we propose a compensation of ToA and RSS methods to measure more precisely the distance of nodes. The comparison experiments with the traditional ToA method show that the average error value of proposed method is reduced 30%. We believe that this proposal can improve location estimation of sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks.

본 논문은 이동통신 네트웍 환경에 있는 다양한 상황에 대해서 능동적으로 대처하는 데이터 전송 알고리즘을 가지고 있는 이동통신 로드의 데이터 전송 효율성 성능평가를 목적으로 한다. 현재 이동통신 단말기들은 링크 에러, 패킷손실 에러, 대역폭 변화 등과 같은 일정하지 않는 다양한 환경조건을 가지고 있고 이러한 이동통신 네트웍 환경 문제로 인해서 수동적인 전송보다는 능동적인 전송알고리즘을 가진 노드들을 필요로 하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 두 이동통신 단말기간에 데이터를 전송하는 과정에서 임의의 링크 에러, 패킷손실 에러를 줄것이며 또한 대역폭 변화를 주어 수동적 전송알고리즘을 가지는 노드와 능동적 전송알고리즘을 가지는 노드의 성능을 비교 함으로서 능동적 전송방법을 가지고 있는 이동통신 노드가 이동통신 환경에서는 보다 우월한 성능을 가지게 된다는 것을 알게될것이다.

This paper addresses the optimized thermal modeling methodology for spacecraft board level thermal analysis. A direct thermal modeling of external and internal structure of active parts which have high power dissipation is newly proposed, based on conventional plate modeling for Printed Circuit Board(PCB). The parts thermal modeling results were compared with other generic methodologies and verified by thermal vacuum test. This parts thermal modeling was directly applied to thermal analysis of CS(Communication Subsystem) board of HAUSAT-2 small satellite. As a result, it was confirmed that the parts thermal modeling can complement other conventional modeling methodologies. A parts thermal modeling is very effective for thermal control design, since the existing thermal problems can be solved at the parts level in advance.

In the present study, A 3-D chimera technique for overlapped bodies in relative motion is studied using unstructured meshes. If all node points of a mesh element at solid boundary are in another body, this element is excluded from computational domain. For computation of unsteady flow, non-active cells have proper variables using interpolation and extrapolation. These variables are used in next time step. The motion of a launching trajectory ejected from a wing and the motion of deploying fins of a trajectory which have not been simulated are computed to conform practicality of this technique.

This paper investigates optimal relay selection and power allocation under an aggregate power constraint for cooperative wireless sensor networks assisted by amplify-and-forward relay nodes. By considering both transmission power and circuit power consumptions, the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the destination node is calculated, based on which, a relay selection and power allocation scheme is developed. The core idea is to adaptively adjust the selected relays and their transmission power to maximize the received SNR according to the channel state information. The proposed scheme is derived by recasting the optimization problem into a three-layered problem-determining the number of relays to be activated, selecting the active relays, and performing power allocation among the selected relays. Monte Carlo simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme provides a higher received SNR and a lower bit error rate as compared to the average power allocation scheme.

End-to-end network delay plays an vital role in distributed services. This delay is used to measure QoS (Quality-of-Service). It would be beneficial to know all node-pair delay information, but unfortunately it is not feasible in practice because the use of active probing will cause a quadratic growth in overhead. Alternatively, using the measured network delay to estimate the unknown network delay is an economical method. In this paper, we adopt the state-of-the-art matrix completion technology to better estimate the network delay from limited measurements. Although the number of measurements required for an exact matrix completion is theoretically bounded, it is practically less helpful. Therefore, we propose an online adaptive sampling algorithm to measure network delay in which statistical leverage scores are used to select potential matrix elements. The basic principle behind is to sample the elements with larger leverage scores to keep the traits of important rows or columns in the matrix. The amount of samples is adaptively decided by a proposed stopping condition. Simulation results based on real delay matrix show that compared with the traditional sampling algorithm, our proposed sampling algorithm can provide better performance (smaller estimation error and less convergence pressure) at a lower cost (fewer samples and shorter processing time).

Sensor Nodes are composed of battery which cannot be easily changed. So, it is very important to reduce energy consumption of Sensor Nodes. In this paper, we implemented Sensor Network system using changed S-MAC to save energy with Zigbee. We deceased energy consumption of node by reducing duty cycle in ACTIVE part. According to experiment, using supposed algorithm is better than using S-MAC about $25\sim30%$ in energy consumption.

Chamferless peg-in-hole process of the cylindrical type parts using force/torque sensor and vision sensor is analyzed and simulated in this paper. Peg-in-hole process is classified to the normal mode (only position error) and tilted mode(position and orientation error). The tilted mode is sub-classified to the small and the big tilted mode according to the relative orientation error. Since the big tilted node happened very rare, most papers dealt with only the normal or the small tilted mode. But the most errors of the peg-in-hole process happened in the big tilted mode. This problem is analyzed and simulated in this paper using the force/torque sensor and vision senor. In the normal mode, fuzzy logic is introduced to combine the data of the force/torque sensor and vision sensor. Also the whole processing algorithms and simulations are presented.

Handling paging mechanism at the IP layer (i.e., IP paging) makes it possible to support heterogeneous wireless access technologies, providing energy-saving and reduced location registration signaling overhead over IP-based mobile networks. However, IP paging may rather cause adverse effects under active communication environments because of significant paging signaling overhead and frequent paging delay. Therefore, in order to solve these problems, a cost-effective IP paging scheme is proposed in this paper, which enables a mobile node to perform selective registration and paging based on its profile information. Numerical results indicate that the proposed scheme has apparent potential to mitigate considerable paging signaling overhead and frequent paging delay in IP-based hierarchical mobile networks.
