무선 센서 네트워크에서 노드들의 위치를 측정하는 문제는 사건탐지, 라우팅, 정보추적 등의 중요한 네트워크 기능을 수행하기 위해 필수적으로 해결해야 한다. 위치측정 문제는 노드들 간의 연결성이 알려져 있을 때 네트워크의 모든 노드의 위치를 결정하는 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 분산 알고리즘인 중점기법을 중앙 집중적인 알고리즘으로 확장한다. 확장된 알고리즘은 단순하다는 중점 기법의 장점을 지니면서도 각 미지 노드가 세 개 이상의 고정 노드들의 중첩된 전송 범위에 속해야 한다는 단점을 갖지 않는다. 본 논문의 알고리즘은 위치 측정 문제가 일차원 행렬 방정식으로 정형화 될 수 있음을 보여준다. 이러한 일차원 행렬 방정식이 유일한 해를 가짐을 수학적으로 증명함으로써 모든 미지 노드들의 위치를 유일하게 결정할 수 있음을 보인다.

This paper presents a new concept of IP-based wireless sensor networks and also introduces a routing protocol that is based on clustering for global healthcare information system. Low-power wireless personal area networks (LoWPANs) conform the standard by IEEE 802.15.4-2003 to IPv6 that makes 6lowpan. It characterized by low bit rate, low power, and low cost as well as protocol for wireless connections. The 6lowpan node with biomedical sensor devices fixed on the patient body area network that should be connected to the gateway in personal area network. Each 6lowpan nodes have IP-addresses that would be directly connected to the internet. With the help of IP-address service provider can recognize or analysis patient biomedical data from anywhere on globe by internet service provider equipments such as cell phone, PDA, note book. The system has been evaluated by technical verification, clinical test, user survey and current status of patient. We used NS-2.33 simulator for our prototype and also simulate the routing protocols. The result shows the performance of biomedical data packets in multi-hope routing as well as represents the topology of the networks.

It is widely observed that in practical wireless cooperative communication systems, different links may experience different fading characteristics. In this paper, we investigate into the outage probability and channel capacity of two-way amplify-and-forward (TWAF) relaying systems operating over a mixed asymmetric Rician and Rayleigh fading scenario, with different amplification policies (AP) adopted at the relay, respectively. As TWAF relay network carries concurrent traffics towards two opposite directions, both end-to-end and overall performance metrics were considered. In detail, both uniform exact expressions and simplified asymptotic expressions for the end-to-end outage probability (OP) were presented, based on which the system overall OP was studied under the condition of the two source nodes having non-identical traffic requirements. Furthermore, exact expressions for tight lower bounds as well as high SNR approximations of channel capacity of the considered scenario were presented. For both OP and channel capacity, with different APs, effective power allocation (PA) schemes under different constraints were given to optimize the system performance. Extensive simulations were carried out to verify the analytical results and to demonstrate the impact of channel asymmetry on the system performance.

Wireless tele-home-care application gives new possibilities for ECG (electrocardiogram) monitoring system with wearable biomedical sensors. Thus, continuously development of high convenient ECG monitoring system for high-risk cardiac patients is essential. This paper describes to monitor a person's ECG using wearable approach. A wearable belt-type ECG electrode with integrated electronics has been developed and has proven long-term robustness and monitoring of all electrical components. The measured ECG signal is transmitted via an ultra low power consumption wireless sensor node. ECG signals carry a lot clinical information for a cardiologist especially the R-peak detection in ECG. R-peak detection generally uses the threshold value which is fixed thus it bring errors due to motion artifacts and signal size changes. Variable threshold method is used to detect the R-peak which is more accurate and efficient. In order to evaluate the performance analysis, R-peak detection using MIT-BIH databases and Long Term Real-Time ECG is performed in this research. This concept able to allow patient to follow up critical patients from their home and early detecting rarely occurrences of cardiac arrhythmia.

Establishing a fixed path for the message delivery through a wireless network is impossible due to the mobility. Among the number of routing protocols that have been proposed for wireless ad-hoc networks, the AODV(Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector) algorithm is suitable in the case of highly dynamic topology changes, along with ZigBee Routing(ZBR), with the exception of route maintenance. Accordingly, this paper introduces a routing scheme focusing on the energy efficiency and route discovery time for wireless alarm systems using IEEE 802.15.4-based ZigBee. Essentially, the proposed routing algorithm utilizes a cluster structure and applies ZBR within a cluster and DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) between clusters. The proposed algorithm does not require a routing table for the cluster heads, as the inter-cluster routing is performed using DSR. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated and compared with ZBR using an NS2 simulator. The results confirm that the proposed Cluster-based AODV (CAODV) algorithm is more efficient than ZBR in terms of the route discovery time and energy consumption.

Recent advances in energy harvesting (EH) technology have motivated the adoption of rechargeable mobile devices for communications. In this paper, we consider a point-to-point (P2P) wireless communication system in which an EH transmitter with a non-ideal rechargeable battery is required to send a given fixed number of bits to the receiver before they expire according to a preset delay constraint. Due to the possible energy loss in the storage process, the harvest-use-and-store (HUS) architecture is adopted. We characterize the properties of the optimal solutions, for additive white Gaussian channels (AWGNs) and then block-fading channels, that maximize the energy efficiency (i.e., battery residual) subject to a given rate requirement. Interestingly, it is shown that the optimal solution has a water-filling interpretation with double thresholds and that both thresholds are monotonic. Based on this, we investigate the optimal double-threshold based allocation policy and devise an algorithm to achieve the solution. Numerical results are provided to validate the theoretical analysis and to compare the optimal solutions with existing schemes.

본 논문에서는 무선망에서 채널할당을 받은 호가 무선 패킷 데이터를 서비스하는 경우의 성능분석 수행을 위한 계층 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 계층 모델로는 상위계층으로 무선자원 관리를 위한 채널할당 모델을, 하위계층으로 에러발생을 고려한 패킷 재전송 프로토콜 모델을 고려하였으며 이들 모델은 모델링 도구인 SRN을 이용하여 각각 개발한다. 추계적 페트리 네트의 확장형인 SRN은 시스템 성능분석을 위한 간결한 모델링 기능을 제공해 주며 모델에 적절한 보상률(reward) 기능을 부여함으로써 원하는 성능지표를 구할 수 있다. 이들 두 계층간의 상호 연관된 매개변수의 값인 서비스 시간과 패킷 발생률은 고정점 반복순환(fixed-point iteration) 기법을 사용하여 구한다. 즉 상위계층의 호 서비스 시간은 한 호당 K개의 패킷전송을 완료할때 까지 소요되는 시간인 하위계층 모델의 지연시간으로 구할 수 있고, 하위계층 모델의 패킷 발사율은 상위계층의 새로운 호와 핸드오프 호의 발생률로부터 구할 수 있다.

This paper designs and implements wake up module for WBAN/USN sensor node which is using dynamic reference voltage demodulation circuit. When a comparator is used in a system for detecting received voltage level, comparator must have a reference voltage. However, the reference voltage is fixed, the system can communicate only a few range because received voltage level is changing widely due to distance of the wireless sensor nodes. Therefore, the proposed wake up module employs a dynamic reference voltage demodulation circuit for increasing communication range.

This paper proposes a complete solution of a contention-based medium access control in wireless local networks to provide station level quality of service guarantees in both downstream and upstream directions. The solution, based on the mature distributed coordination function protocol, includes a new fixed contention window backoff scheme, a tuning procedure to derive the optimal parameters, a super mode to mitigate the downstream bottleneck at the access point, and a simple admission control algorithm. The proposed system guarantees that the probability of the delay bound violation is below a predefined threshold. In addition, high channel utilization can be achieved at the same time. The numerical results show that the system has advantages over the traditional binary exponential backoff scheme, including efficiency and easy configuration.

방사선은 의학, 이공학, 농학, 기타 산업분야 등에서 사용영역이 매우 넓고 방사선이용기술의 개발로 방사선의 이용 빈도는 계속 증가되고 있다. 방사선의 인류에 대한 공헌은 지대하지만 생체에 미치는 영향으로 인하여 방사선에 의한 장해 또한 간과할 수 없는 부분이다. 방사선을 유효적절하게 이용하면서 장해를 방지하기 위해서는 방사선을 정확하게 계측하여야 하며 이에 따른 연구와 교육이 철저하게 이루어 져야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅기술을 이용하여 생체에 유해한 작용을 하는 방사선을 방사선선원에 접근하지 않고 무선으로 시간과 장소에 제한 없이 방사선을 계측할 수 있는 방안을 제안하였다. 제안된 방안의 구현은 무선전송 기술은 CDMA망을 이용하였고, 임베디드시스템(embedded system)을 PDA에 내장한 후, 고정된 IP를 가지는 방사선계측시스템에 PDA를 CDMA망에 접속하여 계측값을 디스플레이 하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방안을 이용한다면 인간이 유해한 방사선선원에 접근하지 않고 선원에 배치된 고정된 IP를 가지고 있는 방사선계측시스템을 통하여 CDMA망으로 PDA에 표시된 계측값을 읽을 수 있게 될 것이다.
