Efficient rendezvous node selection and routing algorithm (RNSRA) for wireless sensor networks with mobile sink that visits rendezvous node to gather data from sensor nodes is proposed. In order to plan an optimal moving tour for mobile sink and avoid energy hole problem, we develop the RNSRA to find optimal rendezvous nodes (RN) for the mobile sink to visit. The RNSRA can select the set of RNs to act as store points for the mobile sink, and search for the optimal multi-hop path between source nodes and rendezvous node, so that the rendezvous node could gather information from sensor nodes periodically. Fitness function with several factors is calculated to find suitable RNs from sensor nodes, and the artificial bee colony optimization algorithm (ABC) is used to optimize the selection of optimal multi-hop path, in order to forward data to the nearest RN. Therefore the energy consumption of sensor nodes is minimized and balanced. Our method is validated by extensive simulations and illustrates the novel capability for maintaining the network robustness against sink moving problem, the results show that the RNSRA could reduce energy consumption by 6% and increase network lifetime by 5% as comparing with several existing algorithms.

The development of USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) technology is creating numerous application areas. Although a network configuration with fixed sensors was the norm in the past, the coexistence of mobile and fixed sensor nodes is a new trend. Fixed sensor networks focused on the energy efficiency of nodes, but the latest studies consider guaranteeing the mobility of nodes and maintaining their connectivity, while remaining energy efficient at the same time. This paper proposes a routing protocol for a mobile ad-hoc sensor network that improves the mobility, connectivity and energy efficiency of nodes while allowing for the management and maintenance of a large number of nodes even in a complex communication environment where mobile and fixed nodes coexist. An algorithm for multi-hop multi-paths, a technique for topology reconfiguration by node movement prediction and vibration sensors, path setting for a large number of nodes, and efficient data transfer technology have been introduced to implement the modified LEAHC-AOMDV protocol. Furthermore, the excellence of this protocol was verified through a comparative experiment with the conventional LEACH protocol.

In this paper, position control of a car-like mobile robot using a neural network is presented. positional information of the mobile robot is given by a laser range finder located remotely through wireless communication. The heading angle is measured by a gyro sensor. Considering these two sensor information as a reference, the robot posture is corrected by a cascaded controller. To improve the tracking performance, a neural network with a cascaded controller is used to compensate for any uncertainty in the robot. The neural network functions as a compensator to minimize the positional errors in on-line fashion. A car-like mobile robot is built as a test-bed and experimental studies of several controllers are conducted and compared. Experimental results show that the best position control performance can be achieved by a cascaded controller with a neural network.

One of the main goals of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is to utilize the energy of sensor nodes effectively and maximize the network lifetime. Thus, this paper proposed a routing protocol for WSNs based on virtual force disturbing mobile Sink node (VFMSR). According to the number of sensor nodes in the cluster, the average energy and the centroid factor of the cluster, a new cluster head (CH) election fitness function was designed. At the same time, a hexagonal fixed-point moving trajectory model with the best radius was constructed, and the virtual force was introduced to interfere with it, so as to avoid the frequent propagation of sink node position information, and reduce the energy consumption of CH. Combined with the improved ant colony algorithm (ACA), the shortest transmission path to Sink node was constructed to reduce the energy consumption of long-distance data transmission of CHs. The simulation results showed that, compared with LEACH, EIP-LEACH, ANT-LEACH and MECA protocols, VFMSR protocol was superior to the existing routing protocols in terms of network energy consumption and network lifetime, and compared with LEACH protocol, the network lifetime was increased by more than three times.

Mobile devices do not need the fixed network infrastructure in ad-hoc network, these devices communicate each other through the distributed control. Accordingly, mobile devices can discover several services using dynamic searching method and provide safely public ownership of these services. Ad-hoc network needs the distributed control and topology of dynamic network because the limited power for processing and network communication. This paper is devoted to provide the secure protocol that provides efficient services discovery using SDP(Service Discovery Protocol) and considers the security requirements. Proposed protocol provides the distributed control based on PKI without central server, the discovery of trusted service, secure telecommunication, the identification among mobile devices, and service access control by user authority.

본 논문에서는 분산 구역에서 이동 싱크의 방문 변경 방식에 대해 고려한다. 원거리 구역으로 나누어진 센서 네트워크의 경우 이동 싱크 시스템은 각 지역을 정해진 방식에 따라 방문한다. 하지만 네트워크의 환경의 특성에 따라 이동 싱크 시스템의 방문이 비정기적이며 방문 지역 또한 달라질 수 있다. 따라서 센서 네트워크에서 수집되는 데이터의 특성에 따라 이동 싱크 시스템의 방문이 실시간적으로 변경되는 것을 고려한다.

Despite the fact that the deployment of sensor networks and target tracking could both be managed by taking full advantage of Voronoi diagrams, very little few have been made in this regard. In this paper, we designed an optimized barrier coverage and an energy-efficient clustering algorithm for forming Vonoroi-based Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN) in which we proposed a mobile target tracking scheme (CTT&MAV) that takes full advantage of Voronoi-diagram boundary to improve detectability. Simulations verified that CTT&MAV outperforms random walk, random waypoint, random direction and Gauss-Markov in terms of both the average hop distance that the mobile target moved before being detected and lower sensor death rate. Moreover, we demonstrate that our results are robust as realistic sensing models and also validate our observations through extensive simulations.

통상적인 센서 네트워크는 센서노드로부터 고정된 정보를 수집하는 일괄적인 방식을 사용한다. 하지만 이러한 방식은 헬스케어 환경에서 주요 센싱대상인 사람의 상태와 위치변화, 주변 환경의 변화에 능동적으로 대처하기 어렵다. 헬스케어 환경을 지원하기 위해서는 사람의 상태와 주변상황의 변화에 따른 특정정보를 제공해주어야 한다. 또한 사람의 이동에 따른 네트워크 타입의 변화에 대처하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 다중 에이전트 미들웨어인 Agilla 모델과 주변노드간의 클러스터를 구성함으로써 네트워크의 효율성을 보장하는 LEACH 프로토콜에 대해 분석한다. 이 분석 결과를 기반으로 기존 LEACH 프로토콜의 취약점인 노드 이동성을 보장하는 LEACH_Mobile 프로토콜을 제안한다. 또한 노드의 동적 기능변경을 지원하는 Mobility Agent Middleware와 LEACH_Mobile 라우팅 모듈을 구성요소로 이동노드의 동적 기능변경을 지원하는 Mobility Agent 모듈을 설계한다. 그리고 LEACH_Mobile 프로토콜의 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 네트워크의 데이터 전송 성공률에 대한 성능 향상을 보여준다.

Localization of mobile agent within a sensing network is a fundamental requirement for many applications, using networked navigating systems such as the sonar-sensing system or the visual-sensing system. To fully utilize the strengths of both the sonar and visual sensing systems, This paper describes a networked sensor-based navigation method in an indoor environment for an autonomous mobile robot which can navigate and avoid obstacle. In this method, the self-localization of the robot is done with a model-based vision system using networked sensors, and nonstop navigation is realized by a Kalman filter-based STSF(Space and Time Sensor Fusion) method. Stationary obstacles and moving obstacles are avoided with networked sensor data such as CCD camera and sonar ring. We will report on experiments in a hallway using the Pioneer-DX robot. In addition to that, the localization has inevitable uncertainties in the features and in the robot position estimation. Kalman filter scheme is used for the estimation of the mobile robot localization. And Extensive experiments with a robot and a sensor network confirm the validity of the approach.
