When we design a sensor nodes, a energy-consumption of sensor nodes centers on design concerns to prolong lifetime of sensor network. In recent year, many researches have attempted to study this issue. One of that is TTDD(Two-Tier Data Dissemination approach) proposed to support a sensor network which includes several mobile sensor nodes. But it gives rise to a problem which increasing control packet for the formation and maintenance a grid structure. Therefore, we proposed a Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol used a permanent grid structure for reducing control packets in a sensor network.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a growing technology along with artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Recently, increasing cases of developing knowledge services using information collected from sensor data have been reported. Communication is required to connect the IoT and AI, and 5G mobile networks have been widely spread recently. IoT, AI services, and 5G mobile networks can be configured and used as sensor-mobile edge-server. The sensor does not send data directly to the server. Instead, the sensor sends data to the mobile edge for quick processing. Subsequently, mobile edge enables the immediate processing of data based on AI technology or by sending data to the server for processing. 5G mobile network technology is used for this data transmission. Therefore, this study examines the challenges, opportunities, and solutions used in each type of technology. To this end, this study addresses clustering, Hyperledger Fabric, data, security, machine vision, convolutional neural network, IoT technology, and resource management of 5G mobile networks.

The Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a representative mobile sensor network. MANET is used in various areas because it consists of sensors composed of moving nodes that do not depend on existing infrastructure networks. In the mobile sensor field, the mobility characteristic plays an important role in the performance of the network. Researches on routing techniques are being actively developed in terms of energy efficiency of the entire network. Clustering-based routing protocols show excellent performance in terms of energy efficiency. In this paper, the energy performance according to routing protocols is compared in the MANET to which the same mobility model is adopted.

In sensor network environment, it is very important to localize sensor nodes. In order to know the position of nodes without GPS signals, the anchor robot approach is representatively used. Therefore, in this paper, we propose 4-Robot Localization Scheme (4RLS) that uses four mobile robots to efficiently localize sensor nodes for the fast time. Then, we show the improved performance of 4RLS in comparison with previously used three robot scheme through the real implementation and analysis.

In this paper, we propose the algorithms which determine 1) the efficient anchor-node visiting route of mobile sink in terms of energy supply and 2) the efficient energy amount to be charged to each anchor node, by using the information of each anchor node and the mobile sink. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) using mobile sinks can be deployed in more challenging environments such as those that are isolated or dangerous, and can also achieve a balanced energy consumption among sensors which leads to prolong the network lifetime. Most mobile sinks visit only some anchor nodes which store the data collected by the nearby sensor nodes because of their limited energy. The problem of these schemes is that the lifetime of the anchor nodes can be shorten due to the increased energy consumption, which rapidly reduces the overall lifetime of WSN. This study utilizes a mobile sink capable of wireless power transmission to solve this problem, so a mobile sink can gather data from anchor nodes while charging energy to them. Through the performance verification, it is confirmed that the number of blackout nodes and the amount of collected data are greatly improved regardless of the size of the network.

Detecting environmental hazards and monitoring remote terrain are among many sensor network applications. In case of fire detection, it is significantly valuable to monitor fire-spot's shape and trend in time. Mobile ad hoc sensor nodes right round are responsible for sensoring, processing and networking packets, or even launching extinguisher. In this paper, we proposed a ring-oriented Multicast architecture based on "Fisheye State Routing" (MFSR) to organize a group of mobile ad hoc sensor nodes in a multicast way. It is familiar with traditional mesh-based multicast protocol [1] in mobile ad hoc network, trying to concentrates on efficiency and robustness simultaneously. Certain applications-based solution for hazards is proposed, quantitative results including architecture and recovery algorithms of MFSR are also investigated in this paper.

In this paper, a sensor fusion based robot navigation method for the autonomous control of a miniature human interaction robot is presented. The method of navigation blends the optimality of the Fuzzy Neural Network(FNN) based control algorithm with the capabilities in expressing knowledge and learning of the networked Intelligent Robotic Space(IRS). States of robot and IR space, for examples, the distance between the mobile robot and obstacles and the velocity of mobile robot, are used as the inputs of fuzzy logic controller. The navigation strategy is based on the combination of fuzzy rules tuned for both goal-approach and obstacle-avoidance. To identify the environments, a sensor fusion technique is introduced, where the sensory data of ultrasonic sensors and a vision sensor are fused into the identification process. Preliminary experiment and results are shown to demonstrate the merit of the introduced navigation control algorithm.

This paper proposes a novel indoor positioning system (IPS) that uses a calibrated camera sensor network and dense 3D map information. The proposed IPS information is obtained by generating a bird's-eye image from multiple camera images; thus, our proposed IPS can provide accurate position information when objects (e.g., the mobile robot or pedestrians) are detected from multiple camera views. We evaluate the proposed IPS in a real environment with moving objects in a wireless camera sensor network. The results demonstrate that the proposed IPS can provide accurate position information for moving objects. This can improve the localization performance for mobile robot operation.

In recent wireless sensor networks, stationary nodes and mobile nodes co-exist to provide a diverse service. However, because there are multiple mobile nodes located in the wireless sensor network, there is a potential for the instability due to the frequent network reconfiguration and the traffic caused by densely concentration of mobile nodes while mobile nodes are switching locations. In order to solve this problem, we propose the pumping node architecture to solve this traffic congestion problem due to the crowds of mobile nodes. The pumping node can be reduced heavy traffic by pumping through the backbone network caused by the densely concentration of the mobile nodes. As a result, the architecture reduces the traffic in the sensor network with high reliability.

Wireless Sensor Network consists of sensor nodes and sink. A sink receives and processes signals created from sensor nodes. Many studies have been performed, since sensor network allows multiple nodes to run using a limited amount of energy, Most researches have focused on using fixed sink. However, in many cases, the sink has mobility effected by man, cars, and etc. This research proposes three methods for reducing the node's energy consumption which is applied the Grid method based on mobile sink. Most routing processes handled by the mobile sink and wireless sensor area is separated and operated respectively. So, this research allows decreasing the power costs. In addition, it also proposes methods using simulation to test the quality of the performance.
