In wireless sensor network technology, which has been applied to various fields, the power supply and the power management of sensors are the most important issues. For this reason, a new concept of power supply and power management device is required. In this paper, we developed an autonomous independent power supply system that supplies the stable power to a sensor node without an additional external input by applying the energy harvesting technology using the electromagnetic induction principle by utilizing the current flowing in the transmission line. The proposed autonomous independent power supply system consists of a power supply using Power CT and a power management system including a charging circuit. The power management device uses a voltage limiter circuit and a monitoring circuit of charging voltage and current to ensure the safety of charging of the battery. In order to verify the performance of the proposed system, we applied it to the SVL diagnostic system and confirmed that it operates stably.

Most of the current research works on high-technology is being carried on to provide ubiquitous services to people. To make that possible, ubiquitous computing networks should be deployed in the first place, where ubiquitous sensor network (USN) will take a very big role. This paper is devoted to introduce a new transmission technique to make USN more independent and reliable as an infra-structure for ubiquitous services. The proposed scheme can elevate the network performance by ensuring the reliability of data transmission. Especially, the proposed scheme can reduce network traffic and communication cost by detecting data error without additional data and communication. In addition, it has an advantage of using the legacy routing protocols.

In this article a novel constant amplitude precoding for impulse UWB system is proposed. According to IEEE 802.15.4a, impulse UWB can be used in indoor localization and sensor data transmission. Most USN(ubiquitous sensor networks) needs multiple access. However impulse UWB system has a limited capability to detect superpositioned signal induced by multiple access. To overcome this problem we have adopted the concept of CAMC(Constant Amplitude Multi-Code) deviced by Wada and Kim. The proposed system consists of systematic constant amplitude precoding and LDPC decoding. And this system shows a good BER performance in computer simulation.

In this paper, e-Meters middleware and applications using standardized middleware in the EPCglobal is suggested. An standardized middleware of the EPCglobal is designed to manage as a form of SCM and other logistics. In order to support a variety of services using RFID-based, the system must be able to support each protocol. The main features of e-Meters middleware is consist of information status and delivery, distributed database processing, event data analysis, and handling. To operate real time e-Meters system information, The realized middleware is configured to process the results of data collection.

In order to monitor the anticancer drug in stable conditions, the Web based anticancer drug management system and alarm services were constructed and assessed in this study. Anticancer drug should be exact to the correct patient in the right environment. To overcome the restriction of existing equipment that only monitors fragmentarily, temperature and humidity were continuously monitored to maintain stable environments using sensor networks and RFID for the monitoring and management of anticancer drug. Construction drug identification and the effect of normal air outside the anticancer dispensary with obstacles were evaluated in working hour. Pre-installed control system in the dispensary could be alternated with auto sensing and alarming. We expected that the efficiency of anticancer drug management and the reliability of drug medication by handwork would be increase accordingly.

Urban railway system that leads the urban public transportation enables the passengers to use the subway system safely and conveniently by indicating the destination of, status of approach of and other information on train through Train Destination Equipment(TDE), which is one of the important passenger services. The existing system is composed of Host Station Equipment(HSE) and operator panel that receives necessary input on train information from Total Traffic Control System(TTC), Local Station Equipment(LSE) that controls Train Destination Indicator(TDI) installed at each station, and Train Destination Indicator that ultimately displays train information to the passengers using the train system. This study aims to realize stabilized and reliable announcement system for destination of train by considering processing procedure and method of expression of inputted information of the existing system of notification of announcement of destination of train that can be applied in the RFID, which is the base technology of USN for which service expansion is easy, and to realize system that considers interface with USN and expandability with other facilities in the future.

In this paper, we introduce various attempts to transmit sensor data efficiently for design of a water quality monitoring system under the USN environment. The representative methods are the sensor management on a sensor node and the clustering on a sink node. The sensor management includes controls of sensing intervals, data accumulations, and data transmissions. And the clustering is one of efficient data compression methods using data mining technology. From the experimental results we confirmed that the proposed transmission method using the sensor management and the clustering outperformed common transmission method.

CPMS(Classroom Power Management System)는 유비쿼터스 센서네트워크 기술을 적용한 층별 강의실 조명 전원을 관리하는 시스템이다. 강의실에는 조도를 센싱하는 모트와 조명 전원을 제어하는 모트가 설치되어 있어, 주기적으로 센서 데이터 및 강의실 전원 상태를 주기적으로 CPMS서버에 보고한다. CPMS 서버는 베이스 모트를 통해 각 강의실의 방의 제어 모트들과 통신하고 전원을 제어하고, 윈도우즈 GUI 소프트웨어를 통해 모트의 상태를 표시하고, 강의실 사용에 대한 스케줄을 입력하여 관리한다. 본 논문에서 CPMS는 모트간의 통신은 IEEE 802.15.4/Zigbee모듈을 사용하여 구현했고 서버소프트웨어는 윈도우즈 시스템을 기반으로 C# 언어와 MS SQL Server로 구현하였다. 본 시스템은 장치들 간의 통신이 모두 무선으로 이루어지므로 설치가 쉽고, 유선 공사에 드는 비용을 절감한 수 있을 뿐 아니라 유선 공사가 난감한 기존 빌딩에서도 구축할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

현재 사용되는 차량 검지기는 크게 두 가지 검지기가 사용되고 있다. 그 종류는 루프 검지기와 영상 검지기인데 지금 이러한 두 가지 유형은 설치 이용되고 있고, 이러한 검지기로부터 수집된 교통량, 속도 등의 실시간 교통 자료는 가공과정을 거친 후 반복/비 반복 정체관리, 돌발 상황관리, 경로안내 서비스 등 다양한 서비스에 활용하고 있으나, 이들 용도 이외에 더욱더 다양한 서비스를 지원하는 작업이 필요하며 예를 들면, 교통정책 평가, 교통사업 평가, 교통안전 증진 등의 다양한 목적으로 활용하는 서비스를 지원하는 것이어야 하겠다. 따라서 현재 이용되는 차량 검지기 시스템의 확대 설치가 이루어져야 한다. 그러나 루프 검지기와 영상 검지기는 복잡한 공사를 수반하며, 가격 또한 높고 USN 기반의 인식 기술에 비해 경제성과 경쟁력이 떨어진다. 따라서 다양한 공공/민간 교통서비스 및 u-City의 응용 서비스 기술에 필요한 USN 기반의 차량 식별/인식/속도 검지 기술의 개발이 필요하다.

Recently, the problem of global warming has issued seriously, so Green IT(Information Technology) using RFID/USN is concerned in order to solve environmental problems. In this paper, we implemented that public area like an underground parking lot could reduce unnecessary energy consumption used by lighting control system based on Ubiquitous Sensor Networks. The lighting control system for underground parking lot is comprised of intersection nodes for watching cars enter and leave, and light node for controlling light. It applies the routing protocol based on hierarchical cluster, hierarchical addressing method, and probability filtering method for the specific place like an underground parking lot. The result after experiments shows that the lighting control system could decrease electrical energy consumption to around 61.7%.
