The size and layout of user interface components need to be optimally designed in terms of reachability, visibility, clearance, and compatibility in order for efficient and effective use of products. The present study develops an ergonomic design method which optimizes the size and layout of user interface components using adaptive genetic algorithm. The developed design method determines a near-optimal design which maximizes the aggregated score of 4 ergonomic design criteria (reachability, visibility, clearance, and compatibility). The adaptive genetic algorithm used in the present study finds a near-optimum by automatically adjusting the key parameter (probability of mutation) of traditional genetic algorithm according to the characteristic of current solutions. Since the adaptive mechanism partially helps to overcome the local optimality problem, the probability of finding the near-optimum has been substantially improved. To evaluate the effectiveness of the developed design method, the present study applied it to the user interface design for a portable wireless communication radio.

In wireless multihop networks, most of on demand routing protocols suffer from performance degradation due to high mobility and channel errors. This problem is more serious as routing path increases. In this paper, we propose a new scheme which can improve network throughput by using distance adaptive packet bursting. The bursting mechanism is to transmit multiple packets after channel acquisition. Through the simulation, we show that our scheme is more efficient than existing methods.

In general, cell transmission delay is more sensitive for real time video service rather than cell losses in a wireless ATM network. Existing handoff schemes, which are emphasizing the prevention of cell losses, have limitations in cell transmission delay to satisfy QoS. In this paper, we propose a scheme to minimize transmission delay generated during the handoff and to maintain the sequence of cells. Transmission delay can be reduced by transmitting ATM cells with low CLP(i.e., CLP=0) prior to others and by discarding cells with high CLP(i.e., CLP= 1). The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is suitable for delay sensitive real time VBR service as well as fast handoff by giving high CLP to less meaningful MPEG frames.

Industrial IoT has much interested in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) due to cost effectiveness and coverage. According to the advance in caching technology, WMNs have been researched to overcome the throughput degradation of multihop environment. However, there is few researches of cache power consumption models for WMNs. In particular, a wired line based cache power consumption model in content-centric networks is not still proper to WMNs. In this paper, we split the amount of cache power from the idle power consumption of CPU, and then the cache hit ratio proportional power consumption model (CHR-model) is proposed. The proposed CHR-model provides more accurate power consumption in WMNs, compared with the conventional cache power efficiency based consumption model (CPE-model). The proposed CHR-model can provide a reference model to improve energy-efficient cache operation for Industrial IoT.

There are lots of studies on application systems using wireless sensor networks. As the application systems are adapted to industrial field, the reliability of these systems becomes new key feature. The lack of reliability is an obstacle to extension of wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose the monitoring system framework that can offer the reliability of wireless sensor networks using a micro camera module and wireless sensor network nodes. And also we propose the efficient transfer method for image information over low rate wireless networks. Using these system framework and transfer method, we implement WiSN(Wireless image Sensor Network) based fire monitoring system.

Industrial HMI(Human Machine Interface) system is the main element among the factory automation processes and have been used to monitor and control operation and status of machine in factory with PLC. This HMI often brings heavy loads to the system development and difficult decreasing the system because it tends to use a specific system per each manufacturer. Therefore, in this thesis, we have developed an embedded linux-based embedded industrial HMI software modules which can be used for touch panel embedded system to solve these problem. In this module, we have used the Qt/Embedded software component because it can be used by all systems which support C++ compiler without modifying the existing codes. We can design more flexible system and network configuration because we have used the wireless communication module. In this thesis, we implement linux-based HMI software modules which are capable of wireless communication as well as bringing the mobility to the overall system and finally decreasing the system development loads by using the general purpose OS with competitive price.

In an intelligent automated manufacturing environment, an administrator may use M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communication to recognize machine movement and the environment, as well as to respond to any potential dangers. However, commonly used wireless protocols for this purpose such WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network), ZigBee, and Bluetooth use the same ISM (Industrial Science Medical) band, and this may cause frequency interference among different devices. Moreover, an administrator is frequently exposed to dangerous conditions as a result of being surrounded by densely distributed moving machines. To address this issue, we propose in this paper to employ a location-based frequency interference management using fingerprinting scheme in industrial environments and its advanced localization schemes based on k-NN (Nearest Neighbor) algorithms. Simulation results indicate that the proposed schemes reduce distance error, frequency interference, and any potential danger may be responded immediately by continuous tracing of the locations.

In this paper, we propose a context-aware system using wireless multi sensor module to monitor the state for industrial factory environment. Wireless multi sensor module combines sensing values which are collected from each acceleration, pressure, temperature and gas sensors. Moreover, it delivers this data to server after being encoded by RS code. Thereafter, RS decoder decodes the values that are received from wireless multi sensor module and fixes errors which occur in wireless communication. Based on decoded data, context-aware algorithm sets critical range and compares it to the sensing values, if the sensing values are out of the range, an event occurs by the algorithm. At the same time, if there is another sensing value which is out of the range for standby time T seconds, the algorithm orders 3 steps-alarm to occur depending on each situation. Through this system, it becomes eventually possible to monitor machines' condition effectively. From the simulation, we confirm that this system is efficient to status monitoring of industrial automation equipment.

These days most of people possesses an average of one to two mobile devices in the world and a wireless network market is gradually expanding. Wi-Fi preference are increasing in accordance with the use growth of mobile devices. A number of areas such as public agencies, health care, education, learning, and content, manufacturing, retail create new values based on Wi-Fi, and the global network is built and provides complex services. However, There exist some attacks and vulnerabilities like wireless radio device identifier vulnerability, illegal use of network resources through the MAC forgery, wireless authentication key cracking, unauthorized AP / devices attack in the next generation radio network environment. In addition, advanced security technology research, such as authentication Advancement and high-speed secure connection is not nearly progress. Therefore, this paper designed a secure communication system for message protection in next-generation wireless network environments by device identification and, designing content classification and storage protocols. The proposed protocol analyzed safeties with respect to the occurring vulnerability and the securities by comparing and analyzing the existing password techniques in the existing wireless network environment. It is slower 0.72 times than existing cypher system, WPA2-PSK, but enforces the stability in security side.
