In this paper, we propose a novel approach to optimize the movement of mobile sink node, called AMSP(Adaptive Mobile Sink Path) for mobile sensor network environments. Currently available studies usually suffer from unnecessary data transmission resulting from random way point approach. To address the problem, we propose a method which uses the Hilbert curve to create a path. The proposed method guarantees shorten transmission distance between the sink node and each sensor node by assigning orders of the curve according to sensor node density. Furthermore, The schedule of the sink node is informed to all of the sensing nodes so that the Duty Cycle helps the network be more energy efficient. In our experiments, the proposed method outperforms the existing works such as TTDD and CBPER by up to 80% in energy consumption.

In image processing and robotic applications, two-dimensional (2D) black and white patterned planar markers are widely used. However, these markers are not detectable in low visibility environment and they are not changeable. This research proposes an active and adaptive marker node, which displays 2D marker patterns using light emitting diode (LED) arrays for easier recognition in the foggy or turbid underwater environments. Because each node is made to blink at a different frequency, active LED marker nodes were distinguishable from each other from a long distance without increasing the size of the marker. We expect that the proposed system can be used in various harsh conditions where the conventional marker systems are not applicable because of low visibility issues. The proposed system is still compatible with the conventional marker as the displayed patterns are identical.

급증하는 인터넷 관련 기술들과 사용자들을 현재의 네트워크 기반 구조로 포용하기에는 한계가 있다. 사용자들은 끊임없이 새로운 서비스들을 요구하고 현재의 망은 그러한 다양한 서비스들을 제공하기 위한 하부구조들이 정의되어 있진 않은 실정이다. 새로운 네트워크 하부 구조를 정의하는데 소요되는 비용과 새로운 서비스들을 제공하기 위해 개발될 프로토콜의 적용 비용을 줄이기 위해서 제안된 것이 액티브 네트워크의 개념이다. 사용자 기반의 네트워크환경을 제공하는 액티브 네트워크는 실행 환경과 노드 운영체제로 구성되어 있는 구조를 제공하며 바로 이 실행 환경을 이용해 노드 사용자들은 가상 액티브 노드를 만들어 새로운 서비스를 생성할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 노드 사용자에 의해서 생성되는 가상 액티브 노드를 위한 MIB의 관리 구조에 대해서 제안하였으며 마크업 언어인 XML을 적용하여 기존의 표준 망 관리 프로토콜인 SNMP와도 호환성을 가질 수 있고 다양한 MIB 표현을 지원할 수 있는 구조를 제안하였다.

In this letter, we propose a one-way ranging algorithm that is based on wireless synchronization with measured timestamps and clock frequency offsets. In our proposed algorithm, an active mobile node initiates a ranging procedure by transmitting a ranging frame, and the anchor nodes report their timestamps for the received ranging frame to a reference anchor node. The synchronization of a pair of nodes is provided with instantaneous time information, and the corresponding difference of distances can be calculated.

Control systems have been greatly studied in recent years and can be classified as: passive, active, semi-active or hybrid systems. Most forms of control systems have been applied in a centralized manner where all the information is sent to a central node where control the algorithm is then calculated. One of the possible problems of centralized control is the difficulty to scale its application. In this paper, a completely decentralized control algorithm is analytically implemented. The algorithm considers that each of the control systems makes the best decision based solely on the information collected at its location. Semi-active control is used in preference to active control because it has minimal energy consumption, little to no possibility of destabilization, a reduction in the possibility of data saturation, and a reduction in the response time in comparison to centralized control.

Recently, there is developing various ubiquitous application services using sensor networks based on TinyOS represented the operating system of sensor node. These sensor networks perform the collection and the transmission of sensing data from sensor node to get the context information. In this paper, we proposes the sensor node control algorithm which converts a sensor node to sleep, active, power off mode according to monitoring result of the voltage state of sensor node. Also, we designs and implement the sensor control module on server, sink, sensor node of sensor networks using this algorithm. It designs a sensor voltage control module of sensor node, data receive and display module of USN server using a java language and TinyOS. And, it checks the voltage state of sensor node, and it changes one of the sleep or power off modes in case of high voltage loss. Accordingly, we effectively use the power of sensor nodes as changing control modes of sensor nodes.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) refers to a network designed for special applications for which it is difficult to use a backbone network. In MANETs, applications are mostly involved with sensitive and secret information. Since MANET assumes a trusted environment for routing, security is a major issue. In this paper we analyze the vulnerabilities of a pro-active routing protocol called optimized link state routing (OLSR) against a specific type of denial-of-service (DOS) attack called node isolation attack. Analyzing the attack, we propose a mechanism called enhanced OLSR (EOLSR) protocol which is a trust based technique to secure the OLSR nodes against the attack. Our technique is capable of finding whether a node is advertising correct topology information or not by verifying its Hello packets, thus detecting node isolation attacks. The experiment results show that our protocol is able to achieve routing security with 45% increase in packet delivery ratio and 44% reduction in packet loss rate when compared to standard OLSR under node isolation attack. Our technique is light weight because it doesn't involve high computational complexity for securing the network.

Reducing energy consumption in a wireless video sensor network (WVSN) is a crucial problem because of the high video data volume and severe energy constraints of battery-powered WVSN nodes. In this paper, we present an adaptive dynamic resizing approach for a SRAM communication buffer in a WVSN node in order to reduce the energy consumption and thereby, to maximize the lifetime of the WVSN nodes. To reduce the power consumption of the communication part, which is typically the most energy-consuming component in the WVSN nodes, the radio needs to remain turned off during the data buffer-filling period as well as idle period. As the radio ON/OFF transition incurs extra energy consumption, we need to reduce the ON/OFF transition frequency, which requires a large-sized buffer. However, a large-sized SRAM buffer results in more energy consumption because SRAM power consumption is proportional to the memory size. We can dynamically adjust any active buffer memory size by utilizing a power-gating technique to reflect the optimal control on the buffer size. This paper aims at finding the optimal buffer size, based on the trade-off between the respective energy consumption ratios of the communication buffer and the radio part, respectively. We derive a formula showing the relationship between control variables, including active buffer size and total energy consumption, to mathematically determine the optimal buffer size for any given conditions to minimize total energy consumption. Simulation results show that the overall energy reduction, using our approach, is up to 40.48% (26.96% on average) compared to the conventional wireless communication scheme. In addition, the lifetime of the WVSN node has been extended by 22.17% on average, compared to the existing approaches.
