Wearable computers consisting of various small devices such as smart phones, digital cameras, MP3 players and specialized I/O devices in personal area networks will play an important role in future ubiquitous computing. In this environment, accessing user data is quite complex due to the dynamic and heterogeneous characteristics of the underlying networks. Moreover, since the amount of user data increases rapidly, automatic data backup management is also critical. To overcome these challenges, several studies have been conducted including our previously proposed file service system, PosCFS, which could be adapted to the requirements with a virtualization technique allowing per-user global namespace for managing and accessing data stored on physical storage spaces detected in PAN. In this paper, we present a smart file service framework, PosCFS+ which is an improved and extended version of our previous work. Performance improvement is made possible by redesigning the metadata management scheme based on database and keywords rather than ontology. In addition, the automatic data replication management is newly designed based on the OSD protocol.

IEEE 802.15.4[1] has been standardized for the physical layer and MAC layer of LR-PANs(Low Rate-Wireless Personal Area Networks) as a technology for operations with low power on sensor networks. The standardization is applied to the variety of applications in the shortrange wireless communication with limited output and performance, for example wireless sensor or virtual wire, but it includes vulnerabilities for various attacks because of the lack of security researches. In this paper, we analyze the vulnerabilities against the denial of sleep attacks on the MAC layer of IEEE 802.15.4, and propose a detection mechanism against it. In results, we analyzed the possibilities of denial of sleep attacks by the modification of superframe, the modification of CW(Contention Window), the process of channel scan or PAN association, and so on. Moreover, we comprehended that some of these attacks can mount even though the standardized security services such as encryption or authentication are performed. In addition to, we model for denial of sleep attacks by Beacon/Association Request messages, and propose a detection mechanism against them. This detection mechanism utilizes the management table consisting of the interval and node ID of request messages, and signal strength. In simulation results, we can show the effect of attacks, the detection possibility and performance superiorities of proposed mechanism.

High-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (HR-WPANs) in IEEE 802.15.3 standard use a TIme Devision Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol to support isochronous traffic. Isochronous traffic requires a delay-bounded service. However, the HR-WPAN standard suffers from long access delay and association delay. In this paper, we propose an enhanced MAC protocol for the delay-bounded traffic. This proposed protocol provides a way that a central node is able to collect traffic status on all member nodes. Furthermore, by utilizing the information, a scheduling algorithm is also proposed in order to synchronize the instant of a packet transmission with that of the packet arrival. With the proposed protocol and algorithm, the delay of access and association can be reduced. Performance analysis is carried out and the significant performance enhancement is observed.

The micro capacitors are passive elements necessary to electronic circuits and wireless portable PAN(personal area network) and Mobile Communications device modules in the baseband circuits in combination with another passive and active devices. As capacitance is proportionally increased with dielectric constant and electrode areas, in addition, inversely decreased the thickness of the dielectric material, thus thin film capacitors are generally seen as a preferable means to achieve high performance and thin film capacitors are used in a variety of functional circuit devices. In this paper, propose dielectric material as AIN(Aluminium nitride) to make micro thin film capacitor, and this capacitor has the MIM(metal-insulator-metal) structure. AIN thin films are widespread applied because they had more excellent properties such as chemical stability, high thermal conductivity, electrical isolation and so on. In addition, AIN films show low frequency response for baseband signal ranges, I-V and C-V electrical characterization of a thin film micro capacitor. The above experimental test and estimated results demonstrate that the thin film capacitor has sufficient and efficient functional performance to be the baseband range frequency of general electronics circuit and passive device applications.

One of very essential techniques for enlarging lifetime of energy-constrained wireless personal area network (WPAN) devices is energy-efficient transmission technique. If the WPAN is operated based on a TDMA protocol, the satisfaction of QoS requirements at each allocated time slot is another important factor to be considered. We therefore propose an energy-efficient transmission scheme for WPANs operating with a contention-free medium access protocol such as TDMA, as well as satisfying QoS requirement. The proposed algorithm determines the optimum combination of transmit power, physical data rate and fragment size required to simultaneously minimize the energy consumption and satisfy the required QoS in each assigned time duration, considering all the possible energy-minimization related parameters. The proposed algorithm demonstrated the improved performance results in terms of throughput and energy consumption via computer simulation.

In this paper, we aim to design and implement supporting IPv6 Bluetooth Access point(AP) in Linux. Bluetooth is a cable replacement technology designed for short range ad-hoc connections, which most likely change the way we handle and access information in the near future. In Personal Area Network(PAN) mobile devices need many IP address space, then we need next generation Internet Protocol(IPv6). We designed Bluetooth Access Point with Bluetooth stack and MAC bridge function in Linux. The implementation tested on Linux system based on Bluetooth Access Point with other Bluetooth devices.

In community computing environments, various members cooperate with each other systematically for attaining each community's goals. Because community computing environments are organized on the basis of PAN (Personal Area Network), each member commonly uses the power of batteries. If one member in community uses up the power of battery and does not operate normally, the community will not be able to provide the ultimate service goals for its users and be terminated finally. Therefore, it is necessary for accurate community operation to prevent a specific member's lifetime from terminating, as checking each member's power consumption in real-time. In this paper, we propose WEL (WEighted Leach) algorithm for optimizing lifetime of the members in community.

IEEE 802.15.4 LH-WPAN기술은 250Kbps의 낮은 전송속도와 저렴한 비용, 그리고 긴 배터리 수명과 간단한 구조 및 연결성을 제공하여, 10m 이내의 작은 범위 내에서 무선 연결을 요구하는 분야에 적합한 표준으로 개발되었다. 그에 따른 응용으로는 홈네트워크 및 제어를 위한 용도로 사용될 수 있다. 하지만 IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN에는 이동성에 대한 기능 및 지원을 고려하지 않고 설계되었기 때문에, 응용서비스 제공시 제약사항이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 WPAN 디바이스(IEEE 802.15.4)가 동일한 PAN(Personal Area Network)에서 안전하게 이동할 수 있는 모델을 제시한다.
