A primary task in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is data collection. The main objective of this task is to collect sensor readings from sensor fields at predetermined sinks using routing protocols without conducting network processing at intermediate nodes, which have been proved as being inefficient in many research studies using a static sink. The major drawback is that sensor nodes near a data sink are prone to dissipate more energy power than those far away due to their role as relay nodes. Recently, novel WSN architectures based on mobile sinks and mobile relay nodes, which are able to move inside the region of a deployed WSN, which has been developed in most research works related to mobile WSN mainly exploit mobility to reduce and balance energy consumption to enhance communication reliability among sensor nodes. Our main purpose in this paper is to propose a solution to the problem of deploying mobile data collectors for alleviating the high traffic load and resulting bottleneck in a sink's vicinity, which are caused by static approaches. For this reason, several WSNs based on mobile elements have been proposed. We studied two key issues in WSN mobility: the impact of the mobile element (sink or relay nodes) and the impact of the mobility model on WSN based on its performance expressed in terms of energy efficiency and reliability. We conducted an extensive set of simulation experiments. The results obtained reveal that the collection approach based on relay nodes and the mobility model based on stochastic perform better.

In this study, a compact hydrogen liquefaction system was constructed with the aim of creating a data storage and monitoring program for liquid hydrogen production. This program was designed to receive and record signals from diverse control equipment through the LabVIEW software. A range of measurement instruments were devised to collect data, encompassing variables such as flow rate, pressure, temperature, and liquid level. As a result, it was possible to directly check the production of liquid hydrogen by obtaining various data of condensed liquid hydrogen. In addition, it was confirmed that long-term storage of liquid hydrogen is possible by developing automatic ON/OFF through the LabVIEW program.

An adaptive channel estimation technique for OFDM-based DTV receivers is proposed using a new mobility estimator. Sample mean techniques for channel estimation have displayed good performance in slow fading channels, because averaging reduces noise In channel estimation operation. This paper suggests an algorithm which selects the optimal number of symbols within which the sample mean of consecutive pilot data can be obtained. The designed mobility estimator determines the optimal number by comparing mobility variance and estimated noise valiance. The algorithm using the mobility estimator obtains an optimal channel function under time-invariant or time-variant multipath fading channels, thereby making the best BER performance.

Research on wireless sensor networks has focused on the monitoring and characterization of large-scale physical environments and the tracking of various environmental or physical conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and wind speed. We propose a stochastic mobility model that can be applied to a MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork). environment, and apply this mobility model to a newly proposed clustering-based routing protocol. To verify its stability and durability, we compared the proposed stochastic mobility model with a random model in terms of energy efficiency. The FND (First Node Dead) was measured and compared to verify the performance of the newly designed protocol. In this paper, we describe the proposed mobility model, quantify the changes to the mobile environment, and detail the selection of cluster heads and clusters formed using a fuzzy inference system. After the clusters are configured, the collected data are sent to a base station. Studies on clustering-based routing protocols and stochastic mobility models for MANET applications have shown that these strategies improve the energy efficiency of a network.

Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely adopted in structural health monitoring (SHM) systems for social overhead capital (SOC) public infrastructures. Structural health information, environmental disturbances and sudden changes of weather conditions, damage detections, and external load quantizing are among the capabilities required of SHM systems. These information requires an efficient transmission with which an efficient mobility management support for wireless networks can provide. This paper deals with the analysis of mobility management schemes in order to address the real-time requirement of data traffic delivery for critical SHM information. The host-based and network-based mobility management protocols have been identified and the advantages of network mobility (NEMO) enabled Proxy Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (PMIPv6) have been leveraged in order to address the SHM information transmission needs. The scheme allows an efficient information transmission as it improves the handover performance due to shortened handover latency as well as reduced signaling overhead.

최근 급격히 증가한 모바일 기기의 활성화로 인하여 CMM 기반의 LTE/EPC 네트워크에 과다한 데이터/제어 트래픽의 수용이 힘들어지는 문제가 중요 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 IETF에서는 Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) 기반의 이동성 관리 방안을 제안하였다. 하지만, DMM 기술은 중앙의 트래픽 부하 분산에 초점을 두고 있어서 과다한 제어 트래픽 수용에 관한 문제를 해결하기에는 부족하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 SDN을 기반으로 CMM과 DMM을 함께 이용하는 C-DMM LTE/EPC 네트워크 구조를 제시한다. 이를 위하여, 기존의 LTE/EPC 네트워크 구조 변경을 최소화 하면서도 효율적인 DMM을 지원하기 위하여 기존 P-GW와 유사한 기능을 수행하는 Packet Data Network Edge Gateway (P-EGW)를 LTE 단말에 근접한 위치에 분산 배치하는 새로운 LTE/EPC 모델을 제안하고, 이를 위하여 단말의 이동성 및 PDN 연결 개수에 따라서 CMM과 DMM 기법 사이 중 하나를 선택하는 방안을 제안한다. 마지막으로, ONOS 컨트롤러와 Mininet 환경에서 각 기법들 사이의 데이터 처리량 및 제어 트래픽의 처리량을 비교하여 제안하는 네트워크 구조 및 기법에 대한 타당성을 입증한다.

모빌리티 기술의 급격한 성장으로 산업 분야의 수요는 차량 내에 다양한 장비와 센서의 데이터를 안정적으로 처리할 수 있는 저장장치를 요구하고 있다. NAND 플래시 메모리는 외부에 강한 충격뿐만 아니라 저전력, 빠른 데이터 처리 속도의 장점이 있기 때문에 모빌리티 환경의 저장장치로 활용되고 있다. 그러나 플래시 메모리는 고온에 장기 노출될 경우 데이터 손상이 발생할 수 있는 특징이 있다. 따라서 태양 복사열 등 날씨나 외부 열원에 의한 고온 노출이 빈번한 모빌리티 환경에서는 온도를 관리하기 위한 전용 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문은 모빌리티 환경에서 저장장치 온도 관리하기 위한 전용 온도 관리 시스템을 설계한다. 설계한 온도 관리 시스템은 전통적인 공기 냉각 방식과 수 냉각방식의 기술을 하이브리드로 적용하였다. 냉각 방식은 저장장치의 온도에 따라 적응형으로 동작하도록 설계하였으며, 온도 단계가 낮을 경우 동작하지 않도록 설계하여 에너지 효율을 높였다. 마지막으로 실험을 통해 각 냉각방식과 방열재질의 차이 따른 온도 차이를 분석하였고, 온도 관리 정책이 성능을 유지하는데 효과가 있음을 증명하였다.

This study investigated whether housing accessibility plays a significant role in explaining the relation between mobility disability and residential satisfaction of seniors. Also, it identified people who are at greatest risk of mobility disability and living in homes without housing accessibility. We analyzed the 2011 American Housing Survey data with a sample of 20,089 households aged 55 and over living in single-family homes. Results show that although residential satisfaction decreased as mobility became more disabled, the key housing accessibility features were significant buffers against the negative impact of mobility disability on residential satisfaction. Seniors who were Black, low-income, housing-costs burden and renters in older housing in an urban area were more likely to have mobility limitations but fewer housing accessibility features. The moderating effect of housing accessibility on residential satisfaction was much greater for seniors with greater mobility disability. For vulnerable seniors living in an old single-family home, housing policymakers or local communities should consider home modification programs and services after evaluating housing accessibility.
