This paper proposes the way that reduces power consumption of the IEEE 802.15.4-based sensor network. To reduce power consumption, we consider following two schemes; first scheme is the Adaptive Beacon Interval Control. The next is the Adaptive Superframe Duration Control. Our results show that these guarantee reducing power consumption in ns-2 simulator.

IEEE 802.15.4 기반의 무선 센서 네트워크는 다양한 종류의 센서들로 구성된다. 이러한 센서들은 각각 다양한 주기들로 중심 노드에게 데이터를 전송하고자 한다. 슈퍼프레임마다의 주기적인 전송을 위해 IEEE 802.15.4에서는 GTS(Guaranteed Time Slot) 메커니즘을 제공한다. 하지만 하나의 센서 네트워크에서 슈퍼프레임 길이는 모두 동일하기 때문에 이보다 긴 주기를 갖는 센서들은 GTS를 할당받고도 데이터를 전송하지 않는 경우가 발생할 수 있다. 때문에 IEEE 802.15.4의 GTS 메커니즘에서는 낮은 사용 효율의 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제를 보완하고자 주기적 GTS 할당 방법(PGTS: Periodic Guaranteed Time Slot)을 제안한다. 주기적 GTS 할당 방법에서는 단말들이 GTS 요청 시 자신의 데이터 전송 주기를 PAN 코디네이터에게 보고하고, PAN 코디네이터는 이를 고려하여 단말의 주기에 따른 슈퍼프레임에서만 GTS 구간을 할당한다. 이를 통해 주기적 GTS 할당 방법은 기존 GTS 할당 방법보다 대역의 낭비를 줄여 GTS를 효율적으로 사용가능하도록 하고 더 많은 수의 단말들에게 GTS를 배정할 수 있게 한다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 주기적 GTS 할당 방법이 IEEE 802.15.4의 GTS 할당 방법보다 효율적이며 더 많은 수의 단말에게 GTS를 할당할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a real-time transmission algorithm based on IEEE 802.15.4 is proposed. The superframe of IEEE 802.15.4 is applied to the transmission method of real-time mixed data (periodic data, sporadic data, and non real-time message). The simulation results show the real-time performance of sporadic data is improved by using the proposed transmission algorithm.

IEEE 802.15.4는 저전력 무선 개인 네트워크(LR-WPAN, Low Rate-Wireless Personal Area Network)를 위한 표준으로 무선 센서 네트워크 기술에서 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 그러나 IEEE 802.15.4는 멀티홉 네트워크나 여러 개의 PAN(Personal Area Network)으로 구성된 네트워크에 대해서는 상세하게 기술하고 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.15.4를 기반으로 하는 ZigBee RF4CE 네트워크에서 사용하는 multiple star 토폴로지를 주목하였다. multiple star 토폴로지처럼 여러 개의 PAN 간에 통신이 이루어질 경우, 이를 에너지 효율적으로 수행할 수 있도록 하는 비컨 간격(Beacon Interval)과 슈퍼프레임 시간(Superframe Duration)을 분석한다. 이를 위해 QualNet 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 multiple star 토폴로지 네트워크를 형성하고, 비컨 간격과 슈퍼프레임 시간을 결정하는 요소에 대해 분석하였다.

This paper proposes an improved superframe structure with one : N situation of the network as a target for efficiency battery and communication performance used in the existing standard IEEE 702.15.4 MAC layer. The proposed superframe transforms and adds a two structures. First, we add the proposed scheduling interval after the arrival of the beacon. Second, we change to a structure in which one of the contention access period is divided into two. The contention access period and the contention-free access period of active portion are divided according to the LQI value of the device. Through this system-level simulation written by $c{^+^+}$, as a results show that the battery consumption and transmission performance has been increased.

The superframe structure of IEEE 802.15.4, an international standard for low rate WPAN, is composed of CAP(Contention access period) and CFP(Contention free period). CAP is the contention-based access period, while CFP is contention-free access period for supporting QoS by allocating fixed bandwidth. The standard can support QoS for only a few devices, because the maximum number of GTSs is 7. Furthermore, as the value of BO (Beacon order) or SO (Superframe order) increases, the size of a time slot increases. This makes it difficult to precisely allocate bandwidth for any device, because the bandwidth is allocated by the unit of GTS. The proposed scheme of this paper can reduce the waste of BW in CFP by adaptively reducing the size of a time slot in CFP as the value of BO or SO increases and increase the number of GTSs to 127 by modifying the standard. The performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme can dramatically increase the bandwidth utilization during the CFP when comparing with IEEE 802.15.4.

In this paper, dynamic GTS scheduling method based on IEEE 802.15.4 is proposed for wireless control system considering reliability and real-time property. The proposed methods can guarantee a transmission of real-time periodic and sporadic data within the limited time frame in factory environment. The superframe of IEEE 802.15.4 is used for the dynamic transmission method of real-time mixed traffic (periodic data, sporadic data, and non real-time message). By separating CFP and CAP properly, the periodic, sporadic, and non real-time messages are transmitted effectively and guarantee real-time transmission within a deadline. The simulation results show the improvement of real-time performance of periodic and sporadic data at the same time.

Superframe in IEEE 802.15.4 Standard is subdivided into an active period and an inactive period to reduce energy consumption. But communication nodes use same data transmission range in an active period, thus communication nodes spend a lot of energy to send data another nodes. In this paper, we proposed reduce energy consumption algorithm that nodes use different transmission power. Cordinator split transmission area into four group and transmit becon message to nodes. Nodes adjust transmission power according to becon message and wates lowe energy than normal nodes. We proposed energy-efficient cross layer protocol that have different PAN (Personal Area Network) by four range group.

Due to the development of information and communication, there is a rising interest on WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network) that maintain and check the human being health. According to the application of different quality of service and a special mechanism for transferring medical data are required in WBAN environment. In this paper, we proposed the new formed superframe that has CSMA/CA based TDMA scheduling and CSMA/CA used IEEE 802.15.4 in order to process emergency data and on-demand data in WBAN environment. We estimated performance of the proposed MAC protocol by compared performance of other MAC protocols that are IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocl and Z-MAC protocol has contention access period based TDMA scheduling.
