The IEEE 802.15.4 standard not only provides a maximum of seven guaranteed time slots (GTSs) for allocation within a superframe to support time-critical traffic, but also achieves ultralow complexity, cost, and power in low-rate and short-distance wireless personal area networks (WPANs). Real-time wireless body area sensor networks (WBASNs), as a special purpose WPAN, can perfectly use the IEEE 802. 15. 4 standard for its wireless connection. In this paper, we propose an adaptive GTS allocation scheme for real-time WBASN data transmissions with different priorities in consideration of low latency, fairness, and bandwidth utilization. The proposed GTS allocation scheme combines a weight-based priority assignment algorithm with an innovative starvation avoidance scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms the existing GTS implementation for the traditional IEEE 802.15.4 in terms of average delay, contention free period bandwidth utilization, and fairness.

For effective conservation of the oceans and harbors, long-term and systematic development of the ocean and harbor monitoring system is essential. A monitoring system capable of real-time and accurate data acquisition is necessary for dealing with the level of contamination by situations, such as red tide and foods. This paper introduces an effective and economical real-time harbor environmental monitoring system that utilizes PCS wireless data communication technology. The monitoring system has various functions, such as multiple communication, TCP/IP protocol for wireless internet access, system time synchronization, and bi-directional communication between the measuring device and the server. The system has been implemented at Shinseondae harbor pier in Busan to validate the system's stability and effectiveness in data acquisition. The acquired real-time ocean and harbor environmental data is expected to have a large effect, when shared with the public through the Internet.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), both efficient energy management and Quality of Service (QoS) are important issues for some applications. For creating robust networks, real-time services are usually employed to satisfy the QoS requirements. In this paper, we proposed a hierarchical real-time MAC (medium access control) protocol for (m,k)-firm constraint in wireless sensor networks shortly called HRTS-MAC. The proposed HRTS-MAC protocol is based on a dynamic priority assignment by (m,k)-firm constraint. In a tree structure topology, the scheduling algorithm assigns uniform transmitting opportunities to each node. The paper also provides experimental results and comparison of the proposed protocol with E_DBP scheduling algorithm.

Most of the tasks in wireless sensor networks (WSN) are requested to run in a real-time way. Neither EDF nor FIFO can ensure real-time scheduling in WSN. A real-time scheduling strategy (RTS) is proposed in this paper. All tasks are divided into two layers and endued diverse priorities. RTS utilizes a preemptive way to ensure hard real-time scheduling. The experimental results indicate that RTS has a good performance both in communication throughput and over-load.

This paper examines the use of a wireless Fieldbus based on IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol. The superframe of IEEE 802.15.4 is applied to a transmission scheme of real-time mixed data. The transmission and bandwidth allocation scheme are proposed for real-time communication using a superframe. The proposed wireless Fieldbus protocol is able to transmit three types of data (periodic data, sporadic data, and non real-time messages), and guarantee realtime transmission simultaneously within a limited timeframe.

Wireless network technologies are becoming more widely used in industrial environment. The industrial communication system requires a real-time delivery of messages. The sensors periodically senses the physical environment and wants to deliver the data in real-time to the sink. This paper proposes a real-time protocol for periodic messages on wireless sensor and actor networks to be used in industrial communications. The proposed protocol delivers the data message using the shortest path from the source and the nearest actor. The protocol considers the energy consumption by reducing the number of broadcast messages during flooding. We have evaluated the performance of the proposed protocol using QualNet simulator. The simulation results show that the data messages have been delivered in real-time and the number of broadcast messages is reduced from 90% to 35% compared the existing protocols.

최근, 정보 통신 기술의 발전에 따라 무선 통신망에서 음성, 데이터, 정지화면, 동영상 및 다양한 멀티미디어 데이터를 추구하고 있다. 효율적인 실시간 멀티미디어 데이터 전송을 위해서는 실시간 데이터의 지연 한계를 보장하고 비실시간 멀티미디어 데이터의 데이터 손실을 최소화해야 한다. 무선 ATM은 유선 ATM을 기본으로 하고 있지만 무선 환경에서의 다양한 서비스에 대한 힘든 전송률과 품질에 따른 문제점들이 수반된다. 그 결과, 무선 통신 환경에서 각각의 트래픽 종류에 따른 품질 서비스(QoS)를 보장하는 방법을 찾는 것이 중요하다. 이 논문에서는 무선 ATM망에서 실시간 멀티미디어 데이터 서비스 전송을 위한 스케줄링 방법으로 개선된 TCRM 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제시한다. 무선 환경에 따라 Uplink와 Downlink시 각각 다른 방법으로 실시간 멀티미디어 데이터 전송 스케줄링 정책을 적용하며 실시간 데이터와 비실시간 데이터의 QoS의 요구사항을 보장하고 불충분한 무선 자원을 공유분배를 위한 공평성 문제를 다룬다. 또한 VC(Virtual Control)를 BS(Base Station)에 두어 예약버퍼와 임의의 전송속도 pk를 사용하여 TCRM의 단점인 비실시간 데이터에 대한 비효율성 문제를 해결한다.

Wireless wearable sensor networks have emerged as a promising technique for human motion tracking due to the flexibility and scalability. In such system several wireless sensor nodes being attached to human limb construct a wearable sensor network, where each sensor node including MEMS sensors (such as 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer and 3-axis gyroscope) monitors the limb orientation and transmits these information to the base station for reconstruction via low-power wireless communication technique. Due to the energy constraint, the high fidelity requirement for real time rendering of human motion and tiny operating system embedded in each sensor node adds more challenges for the system implementation. In this paper, we discuss such challenges and experiences in detail during the implementation of such system with wireless wearable sensor network which includes COTS wireless sensor nodes (Imote 2) and uses TinyOS 1.x in each sensor node. Since our system uses the COTS sensor nodes and popular tiny operating system, it might be helpful for further exploration in such field.

In this paper, a wireless communication-based sensor data monitoring device with an explosion-proof (Exd IIC) case was implemented to enable installation at explosion-risk industrial sites such as plants. In existing industrial plant sites, most of the temperature sensors and vibration and impact sensors are wired up to several kilometers, which takes a lot of time and money to bury long pipes and cables. In addition, there are not many cases where some wireless devices have been applied to actual plant industry sites due to communication quality problems. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, zigbee mesh wireless communication was applied to provide high reliability wireless communication quality to industrial plant sites, and the time and cost incurred in new or additional installation of sensors could be greatly reduced. In particular, in the event of loss or error of some wireless communication devices, the communication network is automatically bypassed or recovered to enable real-time data monitoring.
