센서 네트워크의 응용 범위가 점차 넓어지면서 군사 분야나 방사능 감지와 같이 실시간성을 요구하는 응용분야가 생겨나게 되었다. 하지만 기존의 센서 운영체제 연구는 효율적인 자원 활용에 초점을 두고 연구가 진행되었기 때문에 실시간성을 만족시켜 주기 어려운 구조를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 정시성을 보장하는 실시간 분산 객체 TMO 모델을 센서 네트워크의 제한된 자원 환경에 알맞도록 경량화 시킨 ${\mu}TMO$ 모델을 제안한다. ${\mu}TMO$ 모델을 이용한 실시간 센서 네트워크 운영체제를 개발하기 위하여 한국전자통신연구원에서 개발한 센서 노드용 운영체제인 Nano-Q+를 이용하였다. Nano-Q+의 타이머 모듈을 높은 해상도를 가질 수 있도록 수정하였으며, EDF(Earliest-Deadline-First)기반의 실시간 스케줄러에 CST(Context Switch Threshold)와 PAS(Power Aware Scheduling) 기법을 적용하여 센서 노드에 적합한 실시간 스케줄러로 변경하였다. ${\mu}TMO$ 모델을 지원하기 위해 채널 기반의 통신 수단인 ITC-Channel을 새롭게 구현하였으며, 주기적인 스레드를 관리하는 WTMT(Watchdog TMO Management Task) 모듈을 구현하여 SpM 스레드를 주기에 맞게 실행할 수 있도록 하였다.

This paper presents a sensor network and operation for multiple autonomous navigation platform and transport service. Multiple platform navigate with inside sensors and outside sensors while acquiring and process some useful information. Each platform communicates each other by navigational information through central main server. Efficient sensor network systems are considered for the scenario which some passengers call the service and the vehicle accomplish its transport service by transporting each caller to the destination by autonomous manners. In the scenario, all vehicles perform a role of sensor system to the central server and the server handles each information and integrate with faster procedure in the wireless 3G network.

In this paper, we propose an Internet of Things (IoT) platform for ocean observation buoys. The proposed system consists of various sensor modules, a gateway, and a remote monitoring site. In order to integrate sensor modules with various communications interfaces, we propose a controller area network (CAN)-based sensor data packet and a protocol for the gateway. The proposed scheme supports the registration and management of sensor modules so as to make it easier for the buoy system to manage various sensor modules. Also, in order to extend communication coverage between ocean observation buoys and the monitoring site, we implement a multi-hop relay network based on a mesh network that can provide greater communication coverage than conventional buoy systems. In addition, we verify the operation of the implemented multi-hop relay network by measuring the received signal strength indication between buoy nodes and by observing the collected data from the deployed buoy systems via our monitoring site.

This paper proposes a novel indoor positioning system (IPS) that uses a calibrated camera sensor network and dense 3D map information. The proposed IPS information is obtained by generating a bird's-eye image from multiple camera images; thus, our proposed IPS can provide accurate position information when objects (e.g., the mobile robot or pedestrians) are detected from multiple camera views. We evaluate the proposed IPS in a real environment with moving objects in a wireless camera sensor network. The results demonstrate that the proposed IPS can provide accurate position information for moving objects. This can improve the localization performance for mobile robot operation.

In this paper, a heterogeneous home network control system using HNCP is proposed and implemented. A power line and 802.15.4 are used as media for the system. Information about home environment gathered by sensors is transferred to a power line connected device through the 802.15.4. HNCP stimulate the home network based on the both media. Sensor device definition for the HNCP address and message set is proposed. TinyOS supports the HNCP stack on the wireless sensor board. The home network control system implemented with these techniques has a benefit of user friendly operation of home appliances based on the sensing data. Implementation and experiment shows validity of the system.

Researchers have made significant progress in recent years towards realizing effective structural health monitoring (SHM) utilizing wireless smart sensor networks (WSSNs). These efforts have focused on improving the performance and robustness of such networks to achieve high quality data acquisition and distributed, in-network processing. One of the primary challenges still facing the use of smart sensors for long-term monitoring deployments is their limited power resources. Periodically accessing the sensor nodes to change batteries is not feasible or economical in many deployment cases. While energy harvesting techniques show promise for prolonging unattended network life, low power design and operation are still critically important. This research presents the WiSeMote: a new, fully integrated ultra-low power wireless smart sensor node and a flexible base station, both designed for long-term SHM deployments. The power consumption of the sensor nodes and base station has been minimized through careful hardware selection and the implementation of power-aware network software, without sacrificing flexibility and functionality.

유비쿼터스 네트워크와 더불어 무선 센서 네트워크는 다양한 분야에 응용되고 있다. 무선 센서 네트워크의 노드들은 목표 지역에 비치되어 동작하게 되는데 그 공급원으로 대부분 배터리를 사용하고 있다. 배터리는 센서 네트워크의 응용에 제한된 에너지를 가짐으로써 교체나 충전 등의 어려움을 가진다. 따라서 센서노드의 수명을 연장시키기 위해 주변 환경으로부터의 에너지 하베스팅 기술 등이 연구 개발되고 있다. 특히 태양에너지는 다른 환경 에너지에 비하여 방대하고 짧은 시간에 많은 에너지를 얻을 수 있어 최근 널리 연구되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Solar Cell을 이용하여 배터리 충전 및 센서노드를 구동하는 실험을 하고, 수집된 데이터와 배터리의 전압에 대한 분석을 통하여 센서노드를 구동하기 위해 필요한 배터리 충전시간과 센서노드 농작 가능성에 대하여 확인하였다.

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.

Sensors and systems in Civionics technology play an important role for continuously facilitating real-time structure monitoring systems by detecting and locating damage to or degradation of structures. An advanced materials, design processes, long-term sensing ability of sensors, electromagnetic interference, sensor placement techniques, data acquisition and computation, temperature, harsh environments, and energy consumption are important issues related to sensors for structural health monitoring (SHM). This paper provides a comprehensive survey of various sensor technologies, sensor classes and sensor networks in Civionics research for existing SHM systems. The detailed classification of sensor categories, applications, networking features, ranges, sizes and energy consumptions are investigated, summarized, and tabulated along with corresponding key references. The current challenges facing typical sensors in Civionics research are illustrated with a brief discussion on the progress of SHM in future applications. The purpose of this review is to discuss all the types of sensors and systems used in SHM research to provide a sufficient background on the challenges and problems in optimizing design techniques and understanding infrastructure performance, behavior and current condition. It is observed that the most important factors determining the quality of sensors and systems and their reliability are the long-term sensing ability, data rate, types of processors, size, power consumption, operation frequency, etc. This review will hopefully lead to increased efforts toward the development of low-powered, highly efficient, high data rate, reliable sensors and systems for SHM.
