Recently, indoor navigation has been applied in large convention centers by using wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which provide not only a user's path to be traveled but also orientation and shopping information to increase user's convenience. This paper presents the localization system for estimating relative coordinates without pre-deployment of the reference node based on ultra wide band (UWB) ranging system, which is relatively suitable for indoor localization compared to other wireless communications, and azimuth sensor. The proposed localization system which consists of an azimuth sensor and a mobile node composed of three nodes estimates relative coordinates of the reference node without applying any recursive and time consumption algorithms. Also, in the process of estimating relative coordinates of the reference node, ranging errors are minimized through the proposed technique and the number of nodes can be reduced. Experimental results show the feasibility and validity of the proposed system.

일반적으로 센서들의 위치는 감시 정찰 센서 네트워크의 적용 범위, 데이터 전송 비용, 그리고 자원 관리에 영향을 미치기 때문에, 최적의 위치에 센서를 배치해야 한다. 그러나 산악 지대나 도심 지역과 같은 실 환경에 센서 노드를 배치할 경우, 센서에 영향을 미치는 다양한 지형 및 기후 요소들을 고려하기 어렵다. 따라서 이러한 다양한 환경에 센서를 배치할 경우 감시 영역 측면에서 목표 대상을 효율적으로 탐지할 수 있는 센서 배치 방법이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 센서 배치와 관련된 다양한 기후와 지형 등의 환경 요소들을 분석하고, 이들 영향 요소들이 센서 노드 배치 시 활용될 수 있도록 정량화한다. 이를 바탕으로 센서 탐지 영역 측면에서 정량화된 영향 요소들을 고려함으로써 보다 실효적인 센서 배치 방법론을 제안한다. 또한 본 논문에서 제안한 센서 배치 방법론을 따르는 센서 배치 관리 시스템을 구현함으로써 제안된 방법론의 타당성을 입증한다.

The ability to seamlessly switch between the macro networks and femtocell networks is a key driver for femtocell network deployment. The handover procedures for the integrated femtocell/macrocell networks differ from the existing handovers. Some modifications of existing network and protocol architecture for the integration of femtocell networks with the existing macrocell networks are also essential. These modifications change the signal flow for handover procedures due to different 2-tier cell (macrocell and femtocell) environment. The handover between two networks should be performed with minimum signaling. A frequent and unnecessary handover is another problem for hierarchical femtocell/macrocell network environment that must be minimized. This work studies the details mobility management schemes for small and medium scale femtocell network deployment. To do that, firstly we present two different network architectures for small scale and medium scale WCDMA femtocell deployment. The details handover call flow for these two network architectures and CAC scheme to minimize the unnecessary handovers are proposed for the integrated femtocell/macrocell networks. The numerical analysis for the proposed M/M/N/N queuing scheme and the simulation results of the proposed CAC scheme demonstrate the handover call control performances for femtocell environment.

The intersection collision avoidance service among various telematics application services is regarded as one of the most critical services with regard to safety. In such safety applications, real-time, correct transmission of service is required. In this paper, we study on efficient infrastructure architecture for intersection collision avoidance using a cooperative mechanism between vehicles and wireless infrastructure. In particular, we propose an infrastructure, called CISN (Cooperative Infrastructure associated with Sensor Networks), in which proper numbers of sensor nodes are deployed on each road, surrounding the intersection. In the proposed architecture, overall service performance is influenced by various parameters consisting of the infrastructure, such as the number of deployed sensor nodes, radio range and broadcast interval of base station, and so on. In order to test the feasibility of the CISN model in advance, and to evaluate the correctness and real-time transmission ability, an intersection sensor deployment simulator is developed. Through various simulations on several environments, we identify optimal points of some critical parameters to build the most desirable CISN.

In the present, Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) has been used for the purpose of the military operation with surveillance systems and for collecting useful information from the natural environment. Basically, low-power, easy deployment and low cost are the most important factors to be deployed for WSNs. Lots of researches have been studied to meet those requirements, especially on the node capacity and battery lifetime improvements. Recently, the study of wireless mesh networks applied into the surveillance systems has been proceeded as a solution of easy deployment. In this paper, we proposed large-scale intelligent multi-layer surveillance systems based on QoS assuring Wireless Mesh Networks and implemented them in the real testbed environment. The proposed system explains functions and operations for each subsystem as well as S/W and H/W architectures. Experimental results are shown for the implemented subsystems and the performance is satisfactory for the surveillance system. We can identify the possibility of the implemented multi-layer surveillance system to be used in practice.

Hybrid deployment under current cloud data centers is a combination of online and offline services, which improves the utilization of the cluster resources. However, the performance of the cluster is often affected by the online services in the hybrid deployment environment. To improve the response time of online service (e.g. search engine), an effective scheduling algorithm based on Storm is proposed. At the component level, the algorithm dispatches the component with more influence to the optimal performance node. Inside the component, a reasonable resource allocation strategy is used. By searching the compressed index first and then filtering the complete index, the execution speed of the component is improved with similar accuracy. Experiments show that our algorithm can guarantee search accuracy of 95.94%, while increasing the response speed by 68.03%.

One of the fundamental problems in sensor networks is the deployment of sensor nodes. The Fuzzy C-Means(FCM) clustering algorithm is proposed to determine the optimum location and minimum number of sensor nodes for the specific application space. We performed a simulation using two dimensional L shape model. The actual length of the L shape model is about 100m each. We found the minimum number of 15 nodes are sufficient for the complete coverage of modeled area. We also found the optimum location of each nodes. The real deploy experiment using 15 sensor nodes shows the 95.7%. error free communication rate.

Wi-Fi를 이용한 실내 위치인식 시스템은 2차원 이상의 실내 공간 정보와 노드 위치정보 등이 결합된 무선 신호 지도의 제작이 필수적이다. 이를 구성하기 위한 과정인 Wi-Fi 노드의 RSSI 측정 및 배치 정보 확인에 시간 비용이 크게 발생한다. 특히 기존의 무선 환경이 변하거나 새로운 공간이 만들어질 경우 실내 위치기반의 서비스를 제공하기 위해 노드의 재설치 및 새로운 실내 무선 지도 제작이 필요하다. 이러한 문제로 인해 발생되는 시간 소비를 줄이기 위하여 본 논문에서는 3 m 간격으로 설치된 Cable형 Wi-Fi를 사용하여 정확한 노드의 배치 위치를 판별 및 공간 분석이 가능한 RSSI 가시화 및 Sobel 필터 기반 경계선 검출을 통해 복도 구간의 직선과 곡선을 구분하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. Cable형 Wi-Fi는 동일한 전력선으로 연결되어 있으므로 노드가 일정한 간격으로 설치된 순서를 알 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 이를 기반으로, 공간의 특정 구간을 분석이 가능하도록 측정된 RSSI 기반 가시화과정을 통해 신호의 분포를 확인하고 이를 Sobel 필터 기반 경계선 검출 및 Total RSSI Distribution(TRD) 연산을 통하여 분석한다. Raw data와 제안하는 알고리즘 신호강도를 비교해본 결과 제안하는 알고리즘의 신호 세기는 곡선 구간에서 경계선 특성이 평균 13.73 % 증가하였다. 또한 직선 구간 신호의 세기를 평균 34.16 % 감소시켜 직선구간과 곡선구간의 특성이 개선되었다.

This paper presents a comprehensive scheme for assessing the importance of multiple microgrids (MGs) network that includes distributed energy resources (DERs), renewable energy systems (RESs), and energy storage system (ESS) facilities. Due to the uncertainty of severe weather, large-scale cascading failures are inevitable in energy networks. making the assessment of the structural vulnerability of the energy network an attractive research theme. This attention has led to the identification of the importance of measuring energy nodes. In multiple MG networks, the energy nodes are regarded as one MG. This paper presents a modified PageRank algorithm to assess the importance of MGs that include multiple DERs and ESS. With the importance rank order list of the multiple MG networks, the core MG (or node) of power production and consumption can be identified. Identifying such an MG is useful in preventing cascading failures by distributing the concentration on the core node, while increasing the effective link connection of the energy flow and energy trade. This scheme can be applied to identify the most profitable MG in the energy trade market so that the deployment operation of the MG connection can be decided to increase the effectiveness of energy usages. By identifying the important MG nodes in the network, it can help improve the resilience and robustness of the power grid system against large-scale cascading failures and other unexpected events. The proposed algorithm can point out which MG node is important in the MGs power grid network and thus, it could prevent the cascading failure by distributing the important MG node's role to other MG nodes.

융합환경의 대표적인 도구인 WSN은 환경 구성의 기본 인프라에서부터 기업의 재고-생산-유통 관리에 이르는 비즈니스 모델까지 다양한 방향으로 활용되고 있다. 그러나, 안전하게 보호되어야 할 조직의 고유정보가 WSN과 같은 ICT와 융합되어 정보화 되면서 외부로 손쉽게 유출될 수 있는 위험에 놓여져 있다. 이에 따라, 안정적인 기업의 비즈니스를 위하여 보안성 있는 센서노드의 배치 전략이 필요한 시점이다. 조직의 보안현황을 고려하지 않은 단편적인 보안성 강화전략의 수립은 보안사고 발생 시 조직의 비즈니스 연속성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 그러나 그간의 조직의 보안성 진단을 위한 보안 수준평가 모형들은 대부분 기술적 중심의 측정방법이 진행되고 있으며, 관리적 요인과 환경적 요인에 대한 연구는 매우 부족한 상태이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 보안성 있는 센서노드 배치전략을 수립하기 위하여 융합환경을 기반으로 조직의 보안성을 진단하고 이에 따르는 전략수립방안을 연구하고자 한다.
