무선 네트워크 환경에서 센서들은 전원 공급을 위해 상시 전원이 연결되어 있는 것은 아니기 때문에 센서들에게 공급되는 에너지원인 배터리의 수명은 한정되어 있다. 따라서 네트워크 수명을 연장하는 다양한 연구들이 진행되어 왔으며, 효율적인 에너지 사용을 위해 계층기반 라우팅 프로토콜인 LEACH(: Low-energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy)가 등장하였다. 하지만 데이터 송신 시 전송거리의 제곱만큼의 에너지 소모가 이루어지기 때문에 융합된 데이터를 싱크 노드에 직접 전송하는 LEACH 프로토콜은 에너지 소모가 크다는 제한사항을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 제한사항을 개선하기 위해, 매 라운드마다 클러스터 헤드들이 싱크 노드와의 상대적인 거리 계산을 통해 클러스터 헤드 간 체이닝 연결되는 멀티 홉 전송으로 전송거리를 최소화할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

A major portion of the capital costs in the present day power transmission systems are due to the cost of equipment and construction process. Transmission utilities in the recent years are drawing greater attention towards performing life cycle costing studies for cost management and decision making. However, the data involved in these studies are highly uncertain and the effect of these uncertainties cannot be directly included in the study process, resulting in inaccurate solutions. Interval mathematics provides a method for including these uncertainties throughout the cost analysis and provides final solution range in the form of intervals. In this regard, it is essential and extremely important that significant research has to be carried out in understanding the principles of life cycle costing methodology and its applicability to cost analysis of transmission lines along with uncertainties involved in the cost assessment process. In this paper, economic analysis of power transmission lines using interval mathematics has been studied. Life cycle costing studies are performed using net present value analysis on a range transmission lines used in India and the results are analyzed. A cost break even analysis considering right of way costs was carried out to determine the point of economy indifference.

In this paper, the downlink performance of multi-cell distributed antenna systems (DAS) with a single user in each cell is investigated. Assuming the channel state information is available at the transmitter, four transmission modes are formulated as combinations of remote antenna units (RAUs) selection and cooperative transmission, namely, non-cooperative transmission without RAU selection (NCT), cooperative transmission without RAU selection (CT), non-cooperative transmission with RAU selection (NCT_RAUS), and cooperative transmission with RAU selection (CT_RAUS). By using probability theory, the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a user's signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and the system ergodic capacity under the above four modes are determined, and their closed-form expressions are obtained. Furthermore, the system energy efficiency (EE) is studied by introducing a realistic power consumption model of DAS. An expression for determining EE is formulated, and the closed-form tradeoff relationship between spectral efficiency (SE) and EE is derived as well. Simulation results demonstrate their consistency with the theoretical analysis and reveal the factors constraining system EE, which provide a scientific basis for future design and optimization of DAS.

As energy harvesting communication systems emerge, there is a need for transmission schemes that dynamically adapt to the energy harvesting process. In this paper, after exhibiting a finite-horizon online throughput-maximizing scheduling problem formulation and the structure of its optimal solution within a dynamic programming formulation, a low complexity online scheduling policy is proposed. The policy exploits the existence of thresholds for choosing rate and power levels as a function of stored energy, harvest state and time until the end of the horizon. The policy, which is based on computing an expected threshold, performs close to optimal on a wide range of example energy harvest patterns. Moreover, it achieves higher throughput values for a given delay, than throughput-optimal online policies developed based on infinite-horizon formulations in recent literature. The solution is extended to include ergodic time-varying (fading) channels, and a corresponding low complexity policy is proposed and evaluated for this case as well.

One of the major challenges in the design of wireless sensor network (WSN) is to reduce the energy consumption of sensor nodes for prolonging the network lifetime. In the sensor network, communication is the most energy consuming event. Therefore, most of the energy saving techniques conserve energy by adjusting different parameters of the trans-receiver. Among them, one of the promising methods is the transmission power control (TPC). In this paper, we investigated the effects of the link quality based TPC scheme employed to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for energy saving. The simulation results demonstrated that the link quality based TPC scheme works effectively in conserving energy as compared to the conventional IEEE 802.15.4.

배터리를 기반으로 동작하는 센서 노드들로 구성된 센서 네트워크(S두낵 Network)는 에너지의 효율적인 사용이 가장 큰 이슈이다. 센서 네트워크의 MAC 프로토콜도 에너지 효율성을 고려하여 설계되고 있으며, 일반적인 접근방법은 listen/sleep 모드를 주기적으로 반복하는 것이다. 그러나, 데이터 전송과정에서 수신 노드의 Sleep으로 인하여 즉시 다음 이웃 노드로 데이터를 전송할 수 없는 데이터 전송지연이 필연적으로 발생한다. 본 논문은 에너지 효율성을 고려하면서 데이터 전송지연을 최소화하는 DT-MAC(Data Transmission Centric MAC)을 제안한다. DT-MAC에서 데이터를 수신한 수신 노드는 데이터 수신과 연관된 sleep 모드 중 잔여 sleep 기간을 데이터 전송이 가능한 pseudo_listen 기간으로 전환한다. pseudo_listen 기간에서는 데이터 전송이 가능하므로 sleep 모드로 인한 데이터 전송지연을 가능한 최소화 할 수 있다. 따라서 DT-MAC은 에너지 효율성을 제공하면서 재난 및 화재 경보와 같은 실시간 센싱 데이터를 요구하는 센서 네트워크의 응용에 적합한 MAC 프로토콜이다.

A precise bonding technique, transmission laser bonding using energy transfer, for polymer micro devices is presented. The irradiated IR laser beam passes through the transparent part and absorbed on the opaque part. The absorbed energy is converted to heat and bonding takes place. In order to optimize the bonding quality, the temperature profile on the interface must be obtained. Using optical measurements of the both plates, the absorbed energy can be calculated and heat transfer model was applied for obtaining the transient temperature profile. The transmission laser bonding has a potential in the local precise bonding in MEMS or Lab-on-a-chip.

In this paper, a high-efficiency DC-AC converter is used for wireless energy transmission. The DC-AC convertter is implemented by combining the oscillator and power amplifier. Given that the conversion efficiency of a DC-AC converter is strongly affected by the efficiency of the power amplifier, a high-efficiency power amplifier is implemented using a class-E amplifier structure. Also, because of the low output power of the oscillator connected to the input stage of the power amplifier, a high-gain two-stage power amplifier using a drive amplifier is used to realize a high-output power DC-AC converter. The high-efficiency DC-AC converter is realized by connecting the oscillator to the input stage of the high-gain high-efficiency two-stage class-E power amplifier. The output power and the conversion efficiency of the DC-AC converter are 40.83 dBm and 87.32 %, respectively, at an operation frequency of 13.56 MHz.
