In this paper, we propose a sink-location management and data-routing scheme to effectively support the mobile sink in solar-powered WSN. Battery-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have a limited lifetime due to their limited energy, but solar energy-based WSNs can be supplied with energy periodically and can operate forever. On the other hand, introduction of mobile sink in WSNs can solve some energy unbalance problem between sink-neighboring nodes and outer nodes which is one of the major challenges in WSNs. However, there is a problem that additional energy should be consumed to notify each sensor node of the location of the randomly moving mobile sink. In the proposed scheme, one of the nodes that harvests enough energy in each cluster are selected as the cluster head, and the location information of the mobile sink is shared only among the cluster heads, thereby reducing the location management overhead. In addition, the overhead for setting the routing path can be removed by transferring data in the opposite direction to the path where the sink-position information is transferred among the heads. Lastly, the access node is introduced to transmit data to the sink more reliably when the sink moves frequently.

본 논문에서는 무선 센서 노드의 실내 위치 추적 시스템을 제안한다. 위치 추정에 사용하는 센서 값으로 RF 인터페이스의 수신 신호 강도 (RSSI)를 사용한다. 이동 노드를 부착한 사용자와 실내에 고정된 다수의 고정 노드의 신호 강도를 수신하여 사용자의 위치를 결정한다. 제안한 시스템은 측정에 의한 2.4GHz log-normal path loss 모델의 수신강도와 유클리드 거리 계산 방법과 신호 강도를 결합한다. 실험결과를 통해서 1.3m 이내의 오차로 위치를 추정함을 확인하였다.

One of the basic problems in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is the localization of the sensor nodes based on the known location of numerous anchor nodes. WSNs generally consist of a large number of sensor nodes and recording the location of each sensor nodes becomes a difficult task. On the other hand, based on the application environment, the nodes may be subject to mobility and their location changes with time. Therefore, a scheme that will autonomously estimate or calculate the position of the sensor nodes is desirable. This paper presents an intelligent localization scheme, which is an artificial neural network (ANN) based localization scheme used to estimate the position of the unknown nodes. In the proposed method, three anchors nodes are used. The mobile or deployed sensor nodes request a beacon from the anchor nodes and utilizes the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of the beacons received. The RSSI values vary depending on the distance between the mobile and the anchor nodes. The three RSSI values are used as the input to the ANN in order to estimate the location of the sensor nodes. A feed-forward artificial neural network with back propagation method for training has been employed. An average Euclidian distance error of 0.70 m has been achieved using a ANN having 3 inputs, two hidden layers, and two outputs (x and y coordinates of the position).

기존 연구에서 에너지 소비의 효율성을 향상하기 위해 제시된 무선 센서 네트워크의 라우팅 기법은 다양하게 존재하지만 라우팅을 위해서는 자신의 위치 정보와 1 홉(hop) 거리에 인접한 주변 노드들의 위치 정보를 유지해야 한다. 그리고 BS 노드로 데이터를 전송하기 위하여 여러 노드를 경유하여 목적지까지 전송하는 다중 홉(Multi-hop) 전송 방식을 사용한다. 이러한 기법은 네트워크의 전체적인 에너지 소모와 센서 노드의 전력 소모를 발생시켜 효율적인 에너지 관리에 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 센서 노드의 전파 범위와 RSSI를 이용하여 소스 노드와 거리 $d{\pm}{\alpha}$를 만족하는 BS 노드의 위치 기반 1-홉 라우팅 기법을 제안한다.

Due to threats caused by social disasters, operating surveillance devices are essential for social safety. CCTV, infrared cameras and other surveillance equipment are used to observe threats. This research proposes a method for searching for the optimum location of surveillance sensors. A GA (Genetic Algorithm) was used, since this algorithm is one of the most reasonable and efficient methods for solving complex non-linear problems. The sensor specifications, a DEM (Digital Elevation Model) and VITD (Vector Product Interim Terrain Data) maps were used for input data. We designed a chromosome using the sensor pixel location, and used elitism selection and uniform crossover for searching final solution. A fitness function was derived by the number of detected pixels on the borderline and the sum of the detection probability in the surveillance zone. The results of a 5-sensor and a 10-sensor were compared and analyzed.

Fiber-guided sensor system using a generator and a receiver can detect the amplitude of load or pressure. However, this type of sensor can show some difficulties in detecting the location of damages and pressure loadings. To overcome this weakness of this type, the ultrasonic active fiber sensor, which has an integrated ultrasonic generator and sensing part, was developed in this study. By using this sensor system, the location of mechanical loads can be exactly detected. Moreover, the ultrasonic active fiber sensor is more cost-effective than an ultrasonic fiber sensor using two piezoelectric transducers which are used as a generator and a receiver, respectively. Two applications of the ultrasonic active fiber sensor are demonstrated: cure monitoring of lead and measurement of liquid level. Present results showed that the active fiber sensor can be applied for various environmental sensing.
