In IP-USN for replacing the sensor network based on Zigbee by IP-based it, routing and the address assignment technique for sensor node are important focuses. But, there is a weak point in existing hierarchical routings. It is that all paths must be searched because the end node isn't considered. And the end node based muting is not sufficient in the mobile sensor network environment because it supports the only simple-path-search. Hereupon, this thesis suggests ComHRP(Complement HRP) that have the only merits of existing methods. The address assignment technique and search method are also proposed. ComHRP simplifies the organization of sensor networks and reduces network complexity. Also, It can efficiently deal with restructuring networks for the unpredictable ubiquitous sensor network feature.

When big fire in high rise building and multiplex happens, the needs for high prevention system of disaster are being increased for getting the real-time scene state, quick lifesaver, and safe life security. In this paper the proposed evacuation guidance algorithm which analyzed the feature and danger of fire in high rise buildings, gave simplicity and scalability. Our research shows as fire and disaster occur in high rise buildings we construct sensor networks and sense realtime location information on fire alive people, and the situation information for fire instructed quick and safe escaping route by using mesh routing algorithm scheme relative to exit sign.

In this paper, the RFID / USN-based ad-hoc network structure is presented for efficient operation of a container terminal yard. Communication between fixed or mobile devices in the container terminal yard is accomplished through the ad-hoc node, to collect the status information of a container in real time. Any outside shipper of the container as well as central server allows to share the status information of a container through ad-hoc communication. In addition, to predict the maximum wireless transmission range of nodes by RFID tag position in the yard, LAODV (Location based AODV) routing protocol is proposed. The validity is proved by performance evaluation via computer simulation.

The sensor network technology for core technology of ubiquitous computing is in the spotlight recently, the research on sensor network is proceeding actively which is composed many different sensor node. The major traffic patterns of plenty of sensor networks are composed of collecting types of single directional data, which is transmitting packets from several sensor nodes to sink node. One of the important condition for design of sensor node is to extend for network life which is to minimize power-consumption under the limited resources of sensor network. In this paper analysis used routing protocols using the network simulation that was used second level cluster structure to reduce delay and power-consumption of sensor node.

In this paper, we propose USN Protocol of Room Control with high efficiency and new routing techniques. I establish a network of cluster hierarchy structure under bases standard for IEEE 802.15.4 and another networks to manage each room use a control packet transmitted and The proposed protocol does not perform BroadCast over a network and transmits a packet to same layer to the destination and then passes the packet after doing searches. If a destination to be transmitted cannot be looked up, the protocol transmits AODV routing packet so that not only traffic load of a wireless network is decreased, but also efficient routing path can be obtained.

The ZigBee is one of the most important technologies for composing USN. It is one of the IEEE 802.15.4 standards to support personal area networks. It uses a hierarchical routing or an on-demand route discovery strategy as an address allocation method. A hierarchical routing doesn't use a routing table but only uses a child node or a parent node as an intermediate node for data delivery. Therefore, the ZigBee network's topology greatly affects the overall network performance. In this paper, we propose a more trustworthy algorithm than only using the depth and widely variable LQI during network formation, and moreover we propose an algorithm to measure network's trustworthiness. We simulate our algorithm using the NS-2 and implement our network using the MG2400 ZigBee module for verifying performance.

This paper proposes a system architecture for USN with a service robot to provide more active assisted living services for elderly persons by monitoring their mental and physical well-being with USN environments at home, hospital, or silver town. Sensors embedded in USN are used to detect preventive measures for chronic disease. Logged data are transferred to main controller of a service robot via wireless channel in which the analysis of data is performed. For the purpose of handling emergency situations, it needs real-time processing on gathering variety sensor data, routing algorithms for sensor nodes to a moving sink node and processing of logged data. This paper realized multi-hop sensor network to detect user movements with biometric data transmission and performed algorithms on Xenomai, a real-time embedded Linux. To leverage active sensing, a mobile robot is used of which task was implemented with a priority to process urgent data came from the sink-node. This software architecture is anticipated to integrate sensing, communication and computing with real-time manner. In order to verify the usefulness of a proposed system, the performance of data transferring and processing on a real-time OS with non real-time OS is also evaluated.

In this study, Zigbee Sensor Node to transmit harmful gases CO and $CO_2$ information using wireless communication within the ground and underground structures were developed. Wireless communication protocol was used Zigbee Stack included IEEE 802. 15.4 MAC protocol. For wireless transmission of detected harmful gas signal from ADC of MCU was implemented Zigbee Sensor Node that was developed protocol using Serial-Port-Profile(SPP) here. The proposed Zigbee Sensor Node was verified transmission distance from experiments. Transmission distance was into 90m in experiments. Distance experiments were measured at 10m intervals using sine & pulse wave input signal at indoors. The proposed Route Sensor Node was applied mesh routing protocol. When built up USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network)using Route Sensor Node, transmission distance was not limited. On the experimental results, harmful gas values between direct measurements and USN measurements were consistent. The semiconductor CO sensor and N-DIR $CO_2$ sensor module as a harmful sensor was used. Therefore, the proposed Zigbee Sensor Node was verified about reliability and validity to build USN for transmission of harmful gas information.

USN은 유비쿼터스 환경의 기반기술로서 저전력, 저비용 등 소규모의 특성을 갖고, 기지국과 같은 기반시설이 아닌 Ad_hoc 기법을 통해 통신한다. 일반적으로 센서노드 네트워크 구성을 위해 인력을 동원한 현장실측이나 또는 무작위 설치로 인하여 시간과 비용의 낭비와 환경적인 피해가 발생한다. 또한 중계망의 노드장애 등 관리를 위한 모니터링에 있어 GIS의 분석과 가시화 기능을 적극 활용할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 GIS를 이용하여 RF 전파의 경로손실을 측정하고 중계노드의 RSSI를 산출하였으며, 중계노드의 구성과 중계경로망도 제작기법을 제시하였다. 연구지역은 경북대학교권역이며 RF대역은 국제표준인 2.4GHz를 기준으로 하였다.

무선 센서 네트워크 환경에서는 수많은 노드들이 광범위한 영역에 걸쳐 이벤트 정보를 전송한다. 센서들이 이벤트 정보를 정확하고 빠르게 전송하기 위하여 가능한 경로를 탐색하는 라우팅 프로토콜이 반드시 필요하다. 온도와 같은 주변 환경의 급격한 변화를 잘 탐지하도록 설계된 클러스터 기반 계층적 라우팅 프로토콜인 TEEN(Threshold sensitive Energy Efficient sensor Network protocol)을 채택하여 분석하고 단점을 개선하고자 하였다. 따라서 새로운 개념인 SRS(Self Rescue Signal)를 TEEN 프로세스에 적용하여 이벤트 발생 정보를 알 수 없다는 점을 개선하기 위한 방법을 연구하였다.
