USN이란 Ubiquitous Sensor Network의 약자로 모든 사물에 컴퓨팅 및 통신 기능을 부여하여 언제나, 어디서나, 어느 것으로나 통신이 가능한 환경을 구현하기 위한 것을 의미하는 것이다. 이런 USN에서 사물의 인식정보를 파악 하는데 부곽 되고 있는 기술이 RFID이다. RFID는 2차 세계대전 배행기의 식별을 위해서 만들어진 기술로 현재 국내에서는 13.56Mhz가 이미 공장의 공정관리에서 사용이 되고 있고 나머지 주파수 대역도 연구 및 실험이 진행 중이다. 하지만 태그의 가격이 높고 정책적인 면이 확정이 되지 않았으며 인식 거리의 제약으로 인하여 처음 목적 되로 실생활에 적용 하는 데는 아직 무리가 있다. 본 연구에서는 Zigbee 시스템에 RFID 모듈을 연결함으로써 Zigbee의 특징을 이용 RFID 무선통신을 위한 시스템을 설계 하였다.

The low-rate (LR) UWB is a promising technology for the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) due to its extremely low power consumption and simple transceiver implementation. However the limited communication range is a bottleneck for its widespread use. This paper deals with a new frame structure of class 4 active RFID multi-hop relay system based on ISO/IEC 18000-7 standard integrating with IEEE 802.15.4a LR-UWB PHY layer specification, which sets up a connection to USN. As a result of the vital importance of the coverage and throughput in the application of USN, further we analyze the performance of the proposed system considered both impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) and chirp spread spectrum (CSS). Our simulation results show that the coverage and throughput are remarkably increased.

Ubiquitous sensor network (USN) based on ZigBee communication protocol has been used in various application fields, such as home-network, intelligent building and machine, logistics, environmental monitoring, military field, security field and etc. The ZigBee is targeted at radio-frequency application that require a low data rate, long battery life and secure network. Especially, the USN system can be applied efficiently to building-indoor where the complex geometry is adopted. In this study, all 90 points of railway cabin indoor were monitored for temperature and humidity using USN technology. All sensors were pre/post-calibrated and the temperature/humidity change were analyzed in a railway cabin in real-time. The results would be useful to develop the cabin heating, ventilating and air conditing (HVAC) system to meet all passengers' thermal comfort regardless of their seat position.

In conventional methods for measuring snow height, a graduated pole is installed on ground in an area of interest and the snow height is manually read from the pole. Recently, automated snow height measurement systems have been introduced to improve the conventional methods. The automated measurement systems, however, are quite expensive since they use the reflection of ultrasonic waves or laser beams. In addition, it is not easy to move the location of the automated measure systems. This paper proposes a snow height measurement system equipped with image sensors and wireless communication capability via a USN and the Internet. The proposed system has a resolution of 5 cm and easy to deploy without difficulties, which can be usefully used to monitor unforseen local snowfalls.

In this paper, we describes a design of Wireless Mesh Network based middleware that applied into USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Networks). WMN based middleware is a technique which links data between widely distributed sensor devices and WMN for context-awareness. The use of WMN base middleware in this paper makes possible communication on insufficiently network constructed area by use of WMN. WMN based middleware also anaylze events comprehensively that originated from specific sensor device. Based on the result from analyzed data with predetermined value WMN based middleware will given an order to designated actuator devices. Middleware operate each function of sensor network management and application service separately.

A programming model for ubiquitous sensor network (USN) applications based on Nano-Qplus is proposed. USN applications mean programs of nodes which are components of sensor network such as sensor, router, sink and actuator. Developers can automatically generate programs of USN applications by setting attributes values of nodes using a script after they model a sensor network. A script for setting attributes values of a node is proposed in this paper. The algorithm of automatic code generation is also described. Developers can easily implement USN applications even if they do not know details of low-level communication, data sharing, and collective operations because the applications are automatically generated from a script. They set only attributes values of nodes using the script. Efforts for USN applications development also are reduced because of automatic code generation. Furthermore, developers can correct errors of applications in the early stage of development through ear]y test based on rapid code generation.

In ubiquitous sensor networks(USN) environment, it is essential to process region query for user-demand services. Using R-tree is a preferred technique to process region query for in-network query environment. In USN environment, USN middleware must select sensors that transfers region query with accuracy because the lifetime of sensors is that of whole sensor networks. When R-tree is used, however, it blindly passes the region query including non-existent sensors where MBR(Minimum Boundary Rectangle) of R-tree is Intersected by region of query. To solve in this problem, we propose a reconstruction of region query method which is a trie-structured Quad tree in the base station that includes sensors in region of query select with accuracy. We observed that the proposed method delays response time than R-tree, but is useful for reducing communication cost and energy consumption.

In this paper, USN of wireless communication with easy to install and effectiveness with variety information gathering has been proposed as a alternative of wired-based line for transmission of fire sensing data. But, The sensor node using USN should be considered for wireless transmission range and reliability of information. In this study, the zigbee protocol sensor node was implemented and then tested transmission range of sensor node as 10m interval using voltage information of DC 3V & 5V. Here, maximum transmission distance was confirmed 90m inside-outside. When used mesh routing relay node, distance was not limited. In USN network building, when fire sensing data transmitted, the sensing data same between direct sensing data from sensor and collecting data at USN. Therefore, was confirmed reliability for transmission range and information of proposed zigbee sensor node.

Ministry of Information and Communication is pushing for IT 839 strategy that has main points : 8 major service which can develop IT industry of Korea on the whole, 3 major infra, and 9 major new growth power. Of these, RFID/USN utilizing service is expected to exert a great influence the whole industry from field that is closely related with our life to national defense, supply, construction, transportation, physical distribution, manufacture, circulation, and service. In domestic case, departure of RFID/USN field is a little bit later than advanced nation's, and a technique difference between domestic field and that of advanced nation is about 2 years. In this situation, in order to develop middleware of various field gearing RFID Tag efficiently, we have to study about user interface and data analysis technique that is used in middleware commonly. This paper searches about WPF that appears in user interface field with up-to-date technique, and embodies 3 dimension visualization information system with WPF.
