Advent of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has provided potentials to a variety of construction applications. It is well appreciated that WSNs have advantages over traditional wired system, such as ease of installation and maintenance with increased cost savings and efficiencies. However, the obstruction of wireless signal from physical objects in the heterogeneous construction environment often brings challenges to WSN measurement system. This paper analyzed the obstruction characteristic of construction environment where construction materials, equipment, and built structures obstruct the wireless signal yielding negative effect of measurement system. By adopting evaluation criteria, such as packet reception rate, field experiments have been implemented to quantitatively identify the interference of wireless signal from penetration, reflection, and network traffic under the construction environment. The results show that reliable performance of wireless sensor in construction environment depends on the optimal separation distance between a receiver and a transmitter, obstruction types, obstruction thickness, and transmission interval. In addition, the methodology and experimental results of this paper could be used in the practical design of network topology when hundreds of sensor nodes form a mesh network in the large scale construction applications.

사물인터넷(Internet of Things) 환경의 사물들은 네트워크를 통해 정보를 교환하여 다양한 서비스가 이루어진다. 사물인터넷을 구성하는 WSN(Wireless Sensor Network)은 무선 센서 노드를 물리적인 공간에 배치하여 구성된 네트워크로 사물의 식별, 센싱, 통신 등의 기술이 더해져 다양한 목적으로 운용된다. 대표적으로 저가 저전력 장치들로 구성된 지그비(Zigbee) 네트워크는 지역 모니터링 및 원격 장치제어에 활용된다. 다양한 WSN으로 구성된 사물인터넷은 네트워크 간 통신 규약 및 데이터 표현이 상이하여 상호운용에 제약이 있지만 실시간 통신 미들웨어 표준인 DDS(Data Distribution Service)를 통해 이질적인 네트워크 간 상호연결 및 정보교환이 가능하다. 본 논문은 지그비 네트워크와 사물인터넷의 다른 네트워크 간 양방향 데이터/이벤트/서비스 연동을 위한 지그비 어댑터 설계를 다룬다. DDS 기반의 지그비 어댑터는 지그비 표준을 따라 지그비 네트워크와 통신하고 다양한 구성요소 간 유기적인 동작으로 지그비 네트워크와 사물인터넷의 다른 네트워크 간 상호운용을 가능케 한다.

The optimal price strategy selection of two bounded rational cognitive mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) in a duopoly spectrum sharing market is investigated. The bounded rational operators dynamically compete to sell the leased spectrum to secondary users in order to maximize their profits. Meanwhile, the secondary users' heterogeneous preferences to rate and price are taken into consideration. The evolutionary game theory (EGT) is employed to model the dynamic price strategy selection of the MVNOs taking into account the response of the secondary users. The behavior dynamics and the evolutionary stable strategy (ESS) of the operators are derived via replicated dynamics. Furthermore, a reward and punishment mechanism is developed to optimize the performance of the operators. Numerical results show that the proposed evolutionary algorithm is convergent to the ESS, and the incentive mechanism increases the profits of the operators. It may provide some insight about the optimal price strategy selection for MVNOs in the next generation cognitive wireless networks.

The Wireless sensor networks (WSN) continuously generates large volumes of raw data which own natural heterogeneity. These networks are normally application specific with no sharing or reusability of sensor data among applications. In order for applications and services to be developed independently of particular network, sensor data need to be available in more standardized form. In this paper, we propose Architecture for Sensory data management. This Extensible Markup Language (XML) oriented architecture allows the sensor data to be understood and processed in a meaningful way by a variety of applications with different purposes. We developed a middle layer which performs transformation on raw sensory data to XML and vice versa.

제약만족문제(Constraint Satisfaction Problem)의 연구에서 밝혀졌듯이, 제약최적화 문제(Constraint Optimization Problem)를 효율적으로 풀기 위해서는 변수순서화의 경험적 방법이 매우 중요하다. 이기종이 혼합된 무선 센서 네트웍의 에너지 효율적인 집단화 같은 문제는 클러스터 헤드가 기지국에 가깝게 위치하려는 경향이 있다. 본 논문은 이 집단화 문제를 풀기 위해서 정적 우선순위 변수 순서화에 기반을 둔 새로운 접근방법을 제시하고. pnode 라는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 pnode 알고리즘은 우선순위가 가장 높은 변수를 다음 변수로 선택한다. 집단화문제에 있어서 우선순위가 높다는 것은 클러스터 헤드가 최적지역에 근접하게 된다는 것을 의미하며 이것은 문제의 성격상 미리 정해진다. 클러스터화 된 센서 네트웍에서 클러스터 헤드는 에너지 소비가 가장 많이 일어나는 곳이기 때문에 센서 노드뿐만 아니라 클러스터 헤드에서 발생하는 최대 에너지 소비를 최소화하도록 만드는 방법을 찾는 것이 본 논문의 목적이다. pnode알고리즘을 사용하여 시뮬레이션 한 결과 제안된 방법이 다른 방법들보다 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

The use of wireless body area networks (WBANs) in healthcare applications has made it convenient to monitor both health personnel and patient status continuously in real time through wearable wireless sensor nodes. However, the heterogeneous and complex network structure of WBANs has some disadvantages in terms of control and management. The software-defined network (SDN) approach is a promising technology that defines a new design and management approach for network communications. In order to create more flexible and dynamic network structures in WBANs, this study uses the SDN approach. For this, a WBAN architecture based on the SDN approach with a new energy-aware routing algorithm for healthcare architecture is proposed. To develop a more flexible architecture, a controller that manages all HUBs is designed. The proposed architecture is modeled using the Riverbed Modeler software for performance analysis. The simulation results show that the SDN-based structure meets the service quality requirements and shows superior performance in terms of energy consumption, throughput, successful transmission rate, and delay parameters according to the traditional routing approach.

Increasingly, numerous and various Internet-capable devices are connected in end user networks, such as a home network. Most devices use the combination of TCP and 802.11 DCF as a system platform, but whereas some devices such as a streaming video persistently generate traffic, others such as a motion sensor do so only intermittently with lots of pauses. This study addresses the issue of performance in this heterogeneous traffic wireless LAN environment from the perspective of fairness. First, instantaneous fairness is introduced as a notion to indicate how immediately and how closely a user obtains its fair share, and a new time-based metric is defined as an index. Second, extensive simulation experiments have been made with TCP Reno, Vegas, and Westwood to determine how each TCP congestion control corresponds to the instantaneous fairness. Overall, TCP Vegas yields the best instantaneous fairness because it keeps the queue length shorter than the other TCPs. In the simulations, about 60% of a fair share of the effective user bandwidth is immediately usable in any circumstance. Finally, we introduce two simple strategies for adjusting TCP congestion controls to enhance instantaneous fairness and validate them through simulation experiments.

According to the double-phase cluster-head election method (DCE), the final cluster heads (CHs) sometimes are located at the edge of cluster. They have a long distance from the base station (BS). Sensor data is directly transmitted to BS by CHs. This makes some nodes consume much energy for transmitting data and die earlier. To address this problem, energy efficient multi-hop cluster-head election strategy (EEMCE) is proposed in this paper. To avoid taking these nodes far from BS as CH, this strategy first introduces the distance from the sensor nodes to the BS into the tentative CH election. Subsequently, in the same cluster, the energy of tentative CH is compared with those of other nodes, and then the node that has more energy than the tentative CH and being nearest the tentative CH are taken as the final CH. Lastly, if the CH is located at the periphery of the network, the multi-hop method will be employed to reduce the energy that is consumed by CHs. The simulation results suggest that the proposed method exhibits higher energy efficiency, longer stability period and better scalability than other protocols.
