Wireless sensor network consists of sensor nodes which are disseminated closely to each other to collect informations for the various requests of a sensor application applied for sensing phenomenons in real world. Each sensor node delivers sensing informations to an end user by conducting cooperative works such as processing and communicating between sensor nodes. In general, the power supply of a sensor node is depends on a battery so that the power consumption of a sensor node decides the entire life time of a sensor network. To resolve the problem, optimal routing algorithm can be used for prolong the entire life time of a sensor network based on the information on the energy level of each sensor node. In this paper, different from the existing Directed Diffusion and SPTN method, we presents a data dissemination protocol based on lower-power consumption that effectively maximizes the whole life time of a sensor network using the informations on the energy level of a sensor node and shortest-path hops. With the proposed method, a data transfer path is established using the informations on the energy levels and hops, and the collected sensing information from neighboring nodes in the event-occurring area is merged with others and delivered to users through the shortest path.

Hospital on-site preparations (HOP) have long been produced in most institutions since enactment of the Ministry of Health and Welfare Notification No. 92-12 in 1992. However, due to the unclear definition of the HOP, most institutions have trouble in production and reporting of the HOP. Therefore, in this study, the definition and range of HOP are examined by questionnaire for 34 institutions, mainly teaching hospitals, which reported the items of HOP among 84 institutions having 500 or more beds. It was found that 472 items and 1,116,888 jesu of the HOP were produced at 34 institutions in 2006. Most institutions prepared $21{\sim}30$ items of HOP, and the number of institutions producing $5,000{\sim}10,000$ forms was most prevalent. Accordingly, for HOPs whose need was identified by this study, pharmaceutical companies should be pressed for commercialization.

A packet loss caused TCP segment drop and retransmission. This makes the energy useless, which is consumed to deliver the whole packets of the dropped segment over many hops. In this paper, end-to-end TCP retramission will be analyzed for the effect to energy consumed for delivering data. Especially, this paper will compare and analyze the legacy TCP method and Store-and-Forward method, and the method of computing the energy efficiency to transmission loss. This paper expects that the proposed method can contribute to new energy saving decision or algorithm on diverse data transmission situation.

The classic routing algorithms try to minimize the number of hops to reach a destination. In our DPC(Distributed Power Control) this hop-by-hop power level selection is also used to select the path guaranteeing low energy consumption. The main goal is to realize a dynamic protocol able to be aware of mobility and to automatically set security threshold in order to get the best performance in every situation. In conclusion, the simulation DPC has improved energy gain of the AMRIS routing algorithm at the narrow area, and ODMRP routing algorithm has improved energy gain at the wide area.

This paper proposes a vehicle ad-hoc network (VANET) routing algorithm to reduce the probability of routing path discontinuity in urban intersections. In urban intersections, the vehicles may frequently change their moving directions. It can cause the disconnection of routing path and the increase of a packet transmission delay. In order to resolve this problem, the proposed routing algorithm exploits the information of moving directions in urban intersections. In this way, the proposed algorithm can reduce the probability of the local maximum which causes the increase of the number of routing hops and packet transmission delay. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the local maximum probability by 10% and increase the successful packet transmission ratio by 5% compared to the conventional VANET routing algorithms.

The frequency band above 20GHz is the great radio resource which has not been used. But the attenuation by atmosphere is so large that the radio systems using this frequency band must have shorter hops. There are few studies of optimal hop length for these millimetric wave radio links in Korea. In this paper we analyzed the millimetric wave propagation characteristics in atmosphere and estimated rain attenuation which have a great effect on hop length. Furthermore, we present a rainfall rate(mm/h) of the cities including Seoul and Pusan using the data collected by several rainfall gauges. This paper presents a method of obtaining the optimum hop length for millimer wave radio links based on the rain rate date.

For the improvement of productivity, the reduction of cost and time for manufacturing is mandatory, especially in the field of electromic industry. The study is concerned with a practical means of systematic assistance to formability estimation and selection of reliable design specification for electronic sheet metal parts. The objective of this research work is to develop a simulation system which hops to analyze the target processes with the finite element method and to acquire available design data quickly and exactly. The simulation system developed in the study consists of design verification, selection of optimal combination of parameters, knowledge acquisition and graphical user interface(GUI). Design verification is automatically carried out by using the finite element method. A data base management system and nomograms are utilized for knowledge acquisition. The developed system has been applied to some major sheet metal forming operations such as flanging, embossing, bending and blanking. According to the simulated results, the validation of the target processes has been confirmend. Analysis data, estimation rules of formability and graphical representation of the analysis have been employed for the designer's understanding and evaluation, thus providing a practical means of robust design and evaluation of forma- bility for producing electronic sheet metal parts.

This paper presents cross-layer based packet scheduling and routing algorithm to effectively transmit delay-sensitive multimedia data over mobile ad hoc network. At first, packet urgency, node urgency, and route urgency are defined based on the end-to-end delay requirement of each packet and the number of hops over a route. Based on the urgency metric, the proposed transmission scheme is that packet scheduling algorithm at the MAC layer and routing algorithm at the network layer are tightly-coupled to improve the transmission performance for delay-sensitive multimedia. Finally, simulation results are provided to show the performance of proposed transmission scheme.

In this paper, the efficient AODV routing algorithm in MANET is proposed. Because transmission channel has a high error rate and loss in MANET, the number of hops can't be regarded as an absolute network metric. After measuring FER periodically at the data link layer using cross-layer design, the scheme that every node forwards the weight of link status in the reserved field of AODV protocol is used. In order to find the efficient route, we design AODV to be able to select an optimal route that has a good channel status by evaluating the sum of weight. The proposed AODV improves throughput, routing overhead and average end-to-end delay in comparison with the generic AODV.
