Recently, a demand of Internet-of-things (IoT) rises dramatically and an interest in Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) grows larger accordingly. In this paper, performance in LoRa which is included in LPWA standard is analyzed. Particularly, after measuring Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) of received signal on Line-of-sight (LoS) and Non-line-of-sight (NLoS) environment and it is compared with RSSI which theoretical path loss model is applied to. Among many path loss models, the simulation for theoretical RSSI use Log-distance, Two-ray model and Okumura-Hata model that is based on the test database. Consequently, the result of Okumura-Hata model is the most similar with the measured RSSI. When a network based on LoRa is built, this result can used to decide optimal node arrangement.

This paper fabricated and analyzed the image rejection mixer that uses FET's channel resistance. It can be applied for capacity 64QAM that has 50MHz~90MHz of IF band, 8.17GHz of LO frequency and 8.08~8.12GHz of RF band. When IF input power is -20dBm and LO input power is 10dBm, RF output power is obtained -33.2dBm. In this case, conversion loss is 12.9dB, the suppression of 14.3dB for LO frequency and 10.4dB for image frequency. The result of two tone test shows great IMD characteristics with 51.7dBc.

IP-based IP-USN overcomes that disadvantages of verify the existence and geographic limits of the sensor by applying a standard technique called 6LoWPAN. However, in terms of the management and cost, The USN node should work for a long period of time without periodic batter replacement. but this solution is insufficient.In this paper, we configure the node using TI's CC2530 that low-power Soc solution and Contiki OS for optimal low-power operation IP-USN and implement the gateway to support connecting IP networks and Sensor networks. In addition, a system implemented to measure and analyze the energy consumption of an independent power supply to look for ways.

This paper presents problems of network technology in smart grid and implements a blockchain-based LoRa multi-hop network to solve them. Since some smart grid applications are operated in harsh environments, it is difficult to establish communication infrastructure. We propose a LoRa network with multi-hop using the Flooding routing protocol. Smart grid environment composes an independent network using various power grid protocols depending on the application. Since this has a problem that an independent infrastructure must be established for each network, a single gateway device supports multiple power grid protocols to implement a method for network integration. Lastly, the author applied Hyperledger-based blockchain to the LoRa network to ensure the integrity of data in a smart grid environment, and strengthened security by physically distributing it. After constructing the three suggestions on the actual test bed, we confirmed that the network operates normally through experiments.

It is the approach of embedded system design that analyzes COS(Cut Out Switch) failure in the power distribution and an instantaneous breakdown of power distribution supply could cause the weakness of industrial competence and therefore we need to feed the stable power distribution with developing the technology of open-source embedded system. In this paper, we apply the LoRa technology which is the Internet of Things(IoT) protocol for low data rate, low power, low cost and long range sensor applications. We designed the hardware and software architecture setup and experimented the embedded system with network architecture and COS monitoring system including accelerometer for detecting the failure of distribution line and sensing the failure of its fuse holder by recognizing the variation and collision and afterwards sending the information to a gateway. With experimenting we designed the embedded platform for sensing the variation and collision according to the COS failure, monitoring its fuse holder status and transferring the information of states with LoRa technology.

The development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is progressed slowly due to limited resources, but it is in progress to the development of the latest IP-based IP-WSN by the development of hardware and power management technology. IPv6 over Low power WPAN (6LoWPAN) is capable of IPv6-built low-power devices. In these IP-based WSNs, existing IP-based techniques which was impossible in WSNs becomes possible. 6LoWPAN is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 sensor networks and is a IPv6-supported technology. Host-based mobility management scheme in IP-WSNs are not suitable due to the additional signaling, network-based mobility management scheme is more suitable. In this paper, we propose an enhanced PMIPv6-based route optimization scheme which consider multi-6LoWPAN network environments. All SLMA (Sensor Local Mobility Anchor) of the 6LoWPAN domain are connected with the SPIG (Sensor Proxy Internetworking Gateway) and performs distributed mobility control for the 6LoWPAN-based inter-domain operations. All information of SLMA in 6LoWPAN domain is maintained by SMAG (Sensor Mobile Access Gateway), and then is performed the route optimization quickly. The status information of the route optimization from SPIG is stored to SLMA and it is supported without additional signaling.

6LoWPAN is a standard to enable IPv6 packets to be carried on top of low power wireless networks. It needs to achieve security in 6LoWPAN, which is being defined at the 6LoWPAN working group of the IETF. IPSec is already part of IPv6, which makes it a candidate to be directly employed or adapted for WSNs. Some results showed that the adoption of IPSec is viable, and also point towards the successful design and deployment of security architecture for WSNs. IPSec requires two communicating entities to share a secret key that is typically established dynamically with the IKE. However, there are some limitations to use IKE on wireless networks. In this article, we show requirements for being Efficient Key management Mechanism for IPSec on 6LoWPAN and analyze candidate protocols.

Due to their rapid growth and new paradigm applications, wireless sensor networks(WSNs) are morphing into low power personal area networks(LoWPANs), which are envisioned to grow radically. The fragmentation and reassembly of IP data packet is one of the most important function in the 6LoWPAN based communication between Internet and wireless sensor network. However, since the 6LoWPAN data unit size is 102 byte for IPv6 MTU size is 1200 byte, it increases the number of fragmentation and reassembly. In order to reduce the number of fragmentation and reassembly, this paper presents a new scheme that can be applicable to 6LoWPAN. When a fragmented packet header is constructed, we can have more space for data. This is because we use 8-bits routing table ill instead of 16-bits or 54-bits MAC address to decide the destination node. Analysis shows that our design has roughly 7% or 22% less transmission number of fragmented packets, depending on MAC address size(16-bits or 54-bits), compared with the previously proposed scheme in RFC4944. The reduced fragmented packet transmission means a low power consumption since the packet transmission is the very high power function in wireless sensor networks. Therefore the presented fragmented transmission scheme is well suited for low-power wireless sensor networks.

In this paper, improved lamp type ownizer( ILO ), which utilizes the superposition of lamp type ownizer( LO ) and surface discharge operation, is designoo and manufactured for the purpose of characteristic improverrent of an LO employoo for installation of environrrent improverrent and good health using Ultraviolet(U.V.) photochemical reactions Irethoc1s. The ownizer consists of 2 types( LO and ILO ), and owne concentration, owne generation and owne yield were investigated in accordance with discharge power and quantity of suwlioo gas. The results of owne concentration, owne generation and owne yield were ILO > LO. So, owne generation characteristics of the lamp type ownizer were improved. At a discharge power of 19[W], owne concentration, owne generation, and owne yield of the ILO are each improvoo than LO 124[%] at the gas flow $1[\ell/min]$ and 143[%] at the gas flow $1[\ell/min]$. The maximum values of owne concentration, owne generation and owne yield were found as 712[ppm], 128[mg/h] and 6750[mg/kWh] respectively.tively.
