Since the sensor nodes are randomly arranged in the region of interest, it may happen that the sensor network area is separated or there is no sensor node in some area. In addition, after the sensor nodes are deployed in the sensor network, a coverage hole may occur due to the exhaustion of energy or physical destruction of the sensor nodes. The coverage hole can greatly affect the overall performance of the sensor network, such as reducing the data reliability of the sensor network, changing the network topology, disconnecting the data link, and worsening the transmission load. Therefore, sensor network coverage hole recovery has been studied. Existing coverage hole recovery studies present very complex geometric methods and procedures in the two-step process of finding a coverage hole and recovering a coverage hole. This study proposes a method for discovering and recovering a coverage hole in a sensor network, discovering that the sensor node is a boundary node by itself, and determining the location of a mobile node to be added. The proposed method is expected to have better efficiency in terms of complexity and message transmission compared to previous methods.

Wireless sensor networks are used to monitor and control areas in a variety of military and civilian areas such as battlefield surveillance, intrusion detection, disaster recovery, biological detection, and environmental monitoring. Since the sensor nodes are randomly placed in the area of interest, separation of the sensor network area may occur due to environmental obstacles or a sensor may not exist in some areas. Also, in the situation where the sensor node is placed in a non-relocatable place, some node may exhaust energy or physical hole of the sensor node may cause coverage hole. Coverage holes can affect the performance of the entire sensor network, such as reducing data reliability, changing network topologies, disconnecting data links, and degrading transmission load. It is possible to solve the problem that occurs in the coverage hole by finding a coverage hole in the sensor network and further arranging a new sensor node in the detected coverage hole. The existing coverage hole detection technique is based on the location of the sensor node, but it is inefficient to mount the GPS on the sensor node having limited resources, and performing other location information processing causes a lot of message transmission overhead. In this paper, we propose an Adjacent Matrix-based Hole Coverage Discovery(AMHCD) scheme based on connectivity of neighboring nodes. The method searches for whether the connectivity of the neighboring nodes constitutes a closed shape based on the adjacent matrix, and determines whether the node is an internal node or a boundary node. Therefore, the message overhead for the location information strokes does not occur and can be applied irrespective of the position information error.

하이브리드 센서 네트워크에서 static sensor node들이 초기 배치된 후, coverage-hole을 결정하여, hole을 커버할 mobile sensor node들의 필요한 수 및 위치를 결정하고 배치하는 연구는 상당한 수준에 이르렀다. 그러나 mobile sensor node들을 호출하고 배치하는데 너무 많은 에너지를 소모하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 coverage-hole에서 mobile sensor node들을 호출하기 전에 mobile sensor node들을 최대한 coverage-hole에 가깝게 배치하여, 호출하는데 소요되는 에너지를 획기적으로 절감하였다.

Coverage completeness is an important indicator for quality of service in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Due to limited energy and diverse working conditions, the sensor nodes have different lifetimes which often cause network holes. Most of the existing methods expose large limitation and one-sidedness because they generally consider only one aspect, either coverage rate or energy issue. This paper presents a novel method for coverage hole detection with residual energy in randomly deployed wireless sensor networks. By calculating the life expectancy of working nodes through residual energy, we make a trade-off between network repair cost and energy waste. The working nodes with short lifetime are screened out according to a proper ratio. After that, the locations of coverage holes can be determined by calculating the joint coverage probability and the evaluation criteria. Simulation result shows that compared to those traditional algorithms without consideration of energy problem, our method can effectively maintain the coverage quality of repaired WSN while enhancing the life span of WSN at the same time.

무선센서네트워크는, 다수의 센서노드가 넓은 지역에 배치되어 자신의 전원에 의해 동작하고 다른 센서노드와 협력하여 환경검침 또는 물리량 검침을 수행하는 무선네트워크로 정의한다. 각각의 센서노드들은 자신의 배터리전원소모를 최소화하여, 장기간 사용할 수 있어야 하며, 센서 노드를 적절하게 배치하여 전체 네트워크 커버리지를 제공할 수 있어야 무선센서네트워크의 수명을 늘일 수 있다. 초기 센서노드의 배치로는 센서들의 배터리 수명 등의 이유로 제약이 있으며, 모바일센서노드는 센서가 이동하여 새로운 커버리지를 제공함으로써, 이러한 제약조건을 완화할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 perimeter coverage property를 만족하는 모바일 센서들의 단계적인 이동을 통한 커버리지 제공기법을 제안한다. 각각의 모바일 센서노드들은 이웃한 센서노드들이 dead 노드인지 판단하게 되며, dead 노드인 경우, 센서네트워크의 커버리지 hole을 만드는지 여부를 판단한 후, 각각의 모바일 센서노드들은 hole의 중심점을 계산하고, 관련된 센서노드들이 협동하여, 단계적으로이동하여, 최종 hole을 커버하는 새로운 센서네트워크를 형성하게 된다. 본 제안기법을 시뮬레이션하여 DCM 기법과 비교한 결과, 에너지 효율을 결정하는 전체 움직임거리 측면에서 최소 50% 이상의 성능향상을 보임을 확인하였다.

In Korean geology that crystalline rock is dominant, the properties of subsurface including the anisotropy are distributed complexly and changed abruptly. Because of such geological environments, cross-hole seismic traveltime tomography is widely used to obtain the high resolution image of the subsurface for the engineering purposes in the geotechnical sites. However, because the cross-hole tomography has a wide propagation angle coverage relatively, its data tend to include the seismic velocity anisotropy comparing with the surface seismic methods. It can cause the misinterpretation that the cross-hole seismic data including the anisotropic effects are analyzed and treated with the general processing techniques assuming the isotropy. Therefore, we need to consider the seismic anisotropy in cross-hole seismic traveltime tomography. The seismic anisotropic tomography algorithm, which is developed for evaluation of the velocity anisotropy, includes several inversion schemes in order to make the inversion process stable and robust. First of all, the set of the inversion parameters is limited to one slowness, two ratios of slowness and one direction of the anisotropy symmetric axis. The ranges of the inversion parameters are localized by the pseudo-beta transform to obtain the reasonable inversion results and the inversion constraints are controlled efficiently by ACB(Active Constraint Balancing) method. Especially, the inversion using the Fresnel volume is applied to the anisotropic tomography and it can make the anisotropic tomography more stable than ray tomography as it widens the propagation angle coverage.

최근 Robomote, Robotic Sensor Agents(RSAs)와 같은 이동 센서의 등장으로 인해 이동 센서네트워크(MSN: Mobile Sensor Network)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 이동 센서네트워크에 대한 연구는 주로 기존의 고정 센서네트워크(SSN: Stationary Sensor Network)에서 발생하는 문제점인 Coverage Hole을 해결하는데 초점을 맞추고 있다. 이러한 연구들에서는 이동 센서들에게 부여된 이동 능력을 최대한 활용하지 못하는 단점을 안고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 이동 센서에게 지속적인 이동성을 부여함으로써 고정 센서네트워크에 비해 더 넓은 영역을 센싱하도록 제안한 연구가 있으나, 그 연구가 아직 초기 단계로써 이동 센서의 지속적인 이동으로 인한 싱크 노드로의 통신 경로선정 및 데이터 전송 문제에 대해서는 논하고 있지 않다. 이에 본 논문에서는 지속적인 이동성을 갖는 이동 센서로 구성된 이동 센서네트워크 환경에서 효율적으로 경로 설정 및 데이터 전송을 가능하게 하는 통신 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 프로토콜에서는 이동 센서와 함께 고정센서를 배치함으로써 고정 센서가 이동 센서를 대신하여 싱크 노드로 센싱 데이터를 전송하도록 한다. 시뮬레이션을 이용한 성능 평가를 통해 제안한 통신 프로토콜이 기존의 고정 센서네트워크에 비해 네트워크 커버리지 면에서 최대 40%, 트래픽 오버헤드 부분에서는 최대 76%의 성능을 향상시킴을 보인다.

Based on the current solutions to the problem of energy hole, this paper proposed a nonuniform node distribution clustering algorithm, NNDC. Firstly, we divide the network into rings, and then have an analysis and calculation on nodes' energy consumption in each ring of the network when clustering algorithm is applied to collect data. We also put forward a scheme of nonuniform node distribution on the basis of the proportion of nodes' energy consumption in each ring, and change nodes' active/hibernating states under density control mechanism when network coverage is guaranteed. Simulation shows NNDC algorithm can satisfyingly balance nodes' energy consumption and effectively avoid the problem of energy hole.

The present study investigates heat/mass transfer for flow through perforated plates for application to combustor wall and turbine blade film cooling. The experiments are conducted for hole length to diameter ratios of 0.68 to 1.5, for hole pitch-to-diameter ratios of 1.5 and 3.0, for gap distance between two parallel perforated plates of 1 to 3 hole diameters, and for Reynolds numbers of 60 to 13, 700. Local heat/mass transfer coefficients near and inside the cooling holes are obtained using a naphthalene sublimation technique. Detailed knowledge of the local transfer coefficients is essential to analyze thermal stress in turbine components. The results indicate that the heat/mass transfer coefficients inside the hole surface vary significantly due to flow separation and reattachment. The transfer coefficient near the reattachment point is about four and half times that for a fully developed circular tube flow. The heat/mass transfer coefficient on the leeward surface has the same order as that on the windward surface because of a strong recirculation flow between neighboring jets from the array of holes. For flow through two perforated plate layers, the transfer coefficients on the target surface (windward surface of the second wall) affected by the gap spacing are approximately three to four times higher than that with a single layer.
