In this paper, we embodied the environment monitoring system that can acquire correct data in real-time. And we used module that is 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4 / Zigbee network for radio communication between nodes. The nodes sense the data of temperature, humidity, illumination periodically. The nodes store the data in their buffer and transmit. We confirmed that the system is in real-time as it is changed instantly due to the varying environment by the simulation Therefore, we can construct the efficient and correct system as applied this system to monitor the environment.

센서노드의 위치 측정 방법은 신호 도착시간차(Time of arrival, ToA), 수신신호세기(Received Signal Strength, RSS), 신호각도(Angle of Arrival, AoA) 방법을 비롯하여 다양한 방법들이 연구/발표되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 센서노드의 위치 정확도 향상을 위해 일반 센서노드에서 획득할 수 있는 신호도착 시간과 신호세기를 이용한 ToA와 RSS를 상호 보정하는 방법을 제안한다. 실내/외 실험결과 제안 알고리즘은 노드간 실제 거리와의 오차를 기존의 ToA 보다 30%이상의 성능 향상을 기대할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안한 센서노드의 위치측정 방법은 센서노드간 거리 측정의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있고, 이를 이용하여 센서네트워크 환경에서 향상된 노드의 위치 식별에 기여할 것으로 판단한다.

Designing of a hierarchical clustering algorithm is one of the numerous approaches to minimize the energy consumption of the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In this paper, a homogeneous and randomly deployed sensor nodes is considered. These sensors are energy constrained elements. The nominal selection of the Cluster Head (CH) which falls under the clustering part of the network protocol is studied and compared to Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol. CHs in this proposed process is the function of total remaining energy of each node as well as total average energy of the whole arrangement. The algorithm considers initial energy, optimum value of cluster heads to elect the next group of cluster heads for the network as well as residual energy. Total remaining energy of each node is compared to total average energy of the system and if the result is positive, these nodes are eligible to become CH in the very next round. Analysis and numerical simulations quantify the efficiency and Average Energy Ratio (AER) of the proposed system.

A wireless image sensor node collecting image data for environmental monitoring or surveillance requires a large amount of energy to transmit the huge amount of video data. Even though solar energy can be used to overcome the energy constraint, since the collected energy is also limited, an efficient energy management scheme for transmitting a large amount of video data is needed. In this paper, we propose a method to reduce the number of blackout nodes and increase the amount of gathered data by selecting an appropriate video coding method according to the energy condition of the node in a solar-powered wireless video sensor network. This scheme allocates the amount of energy that can be used over time in order to seamlessly collect data regardless of night or day, and selects a high compression coding method when the allocated energy is large and a low compression coding when the quota is low. Thereby, it reduces the blackout of the relay node and increases the amount of data obtained at the sink node by allowing the data to be transmitted continuously. Also, if the energy is lower than operating normaly, the frame rate is adjusted to prevent the energy exhaustion of nodes. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme suppresses the energy exhaustion of the relay node and collects more data than other schemes.

최근 IoT 기술의 발전과 더불어 센서 노드, RFID, CCTV, 스마트폰 등에서 다양한 데이터를 Sensing하는 기술과 무선 통신 기술이 급격히 발전하면서 여러 응용 분야에서 센서 네트워크 관련 기술을 활용하기 위한 다양한 연구가 활발히 추진되고 있다. 따라서, GeoSensor 활용이 증가함에 따라 공간 센서 데이터와 같은 2차원 데이터를 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 질의 처리 시스템이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 하지만 기존 질의 처리 시스템들은 시공간 센서 데이터와 같은 다차원 데이터를 처리하기 위한 데이터 타입과 연산자를 지원하지 않기 때문에 이와 같은 다차원 데이터를 처리하기에 미흡하다. 따라서, 본 논문은 이러한 센서 네트워크에서 다차원 데이터를 효율적으로 처리하기 위하여 질의 처리 시스템을 연구 개발하였다.

Traditional radio-based gesture recognition approaches usually require the target to carry a device (e.g., an EMG sensor or an accelerometer sensor). However, such requirement cannot be satisfied in many applications. For example, in smart home, users want to control the light on/off by some specific hand gesture, without finding and pressing the button especially in dark area. They will not carry any device in this scenario. To overcome this drawback, in this paper, we propose three algorithms able to recognize the target gesture (mainly the human hand gesture) without carrying any device, based on just Radio Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). Our platform utilizes only 6 telosB sensor nodes with a very easy deployment. Experiment results show that the successful recognition radio can reach around 80% in our system.

In this study, an output-only modal identification approach is proposed for decentralized wireless sensor nodes used for linear structural systems. The following approaches are implemented to achieve the objective. Firstly, an output-only modal identification method is selected for decentralized wireless sensor networks. Secondly, the effect of time-unsynchronization is assessed with respect to the accuracy of modal identification analysis. Time-unsynchronized signals are analytically examined to quantify uncertainties and their corresponding errors in modal identification results. Thirdly, a modified approach using complex mode shapes is proposed to reduce the unsynchronization-induced errors in modal identification. In the new way, complex mode shapes are extracted from unsynchronized signals to deal both with modal amplitudes and with phase angles. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed approach is evaluated from numerical and experimental tests by comparing with the performance of existing approach using real mode shapes.

본 논문에서는 Zigbee 기반 무선센서네트웍과 레고 마인드스톰 NXT 모듈을 이용하여 이동로봇의 원격주행제어시스템을 개발하였다. 기존 회전센서(encoder)에 의한 이동로봇 위치제어의 오차 문제(미끄러짐 등)를 해결하고 좀 더 정확하게 이동로봇을 제어하기 위해 본 논문에서는 무선센서네트웍상의 초음파모듈을 사용하였다. 초음파의 문제점인 직진성과 협소한 감지범위의 단점을 극복하기 위해 이동로봇에 부착된 이동 노드를 360도 회전시킴으로써 4개의 고정 노드로부터 각각의 거리를 측정하여 삼각측량법에 의해 로봇의 정확한 위치를 추정하였다. 또한 이동로봇의 전면에 부착된 USB 웹 카메라를 사용하여 스마트폰으로 영상이 송신되도록 하였다. 그 결과 스마트폰을 통해 로봇의 위치와 이동로봇의 주변상황을 확인함으로써 이동 로봇을 정확하게 제어할 수 있었다.

Although timber structures have been extensively used in underground temporary supporting system, their actual performance is poorly understood, resulting in potentially conservative and over-engineered design. In this paper, a novel wireless sensor technology, SmartPlank, is introduced to monitor the field performance of timber structures during underground construction. It consists of a wooden beam equipped with a streamlined wireless sensor node, two thin foil strain gauges and two temperature sensors, which enables to measure the strain and temperature at two sides of the beam, and to transmit this information in real-time over an IPv6 (6LowPan) multi-hop wireless mesh network and Internet. Four SmartPlanks were deployed at the London Underground's Tottenham Court Road (TCR) station redevelopment site during the Stair 14 excavation, together with seven relay nodes and a gateway. The monitoring started from August 2013, and will last for one and a half years until the Central Line possession in 2015. This paper reports both the short-term and long-term performances of the monitored timber structures. The grouting effect on the short-term performance of timber structures is highlighted; the grout injection process creates a large downward pressure on the top surface of the SmartPlank. The short and long term earth pressures applied to the monitored structures are estimated from the measured strains, and the estimated values are compared to the design loads.

This paper analyses the data collected from the $2^{nd}$ Jindo Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge in Korea that is a structural health monitoring (SHM) international test bed for advanced wireless smart sensors network (WSSN) technology. The SHM system consists of a total of 70 wireless smart sensor nodes deployed underneath of the deck, on the pylons, and on the cables to capture the vibration of the bridge excited by traffic and environmental loadings. Analysis of the data is performed in both the time and frequency domains. Modal properties of the bridge are identified using the frequency domain decomposition and the stochastic subspace identification methods based on the output-only measurements, and the results are compared with those obtained from a detailed finite element model. Tension forces for the 10 instrumented stay cables are also estimated from the ambient acceleration data and compared both with those from the initial design and with those obtained during two previous regular inspections. The results of the data analyses demonstrate that the WSSN-based SHM system performs effectively for this cable-stayed bridge, giving direct access to the physical status of the bridge.
