다가올 유비쿼터스 시대를 선도할 기술 중 하나인 USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network)은 산업 전반에 커다란 변화를 가져올 것으로 기대된다. USN은 각종 센서 노드로부터 사물 및 환경 정보를 감지, 저장, 가공, 통합하고 상황인식 정보 및 지식 콘텐츠 생성을 통하여 언제, 어디서. 누구나 원하는 맞춤형 서비스를 자유로이 이용할 수 있는 첨단 지능형사회의 기반 인프라이다. USN과 더불어 이를 활용하기 위한 USN 어플리케이션의 개발들이 늘고 었으며 이에 USN 미들웨어의 필요성 또한 증가하고 있다. USN 디렉토리 서비스는 USN 미들웨어를 구성하는 핵심 서비스 중 하나이며, 지역적으로 분산된 USN 자원에 대한 정보를 관리하고 USN 자원에 대한 검색을 실시간으로 제공하는 서비스이다. USN 자원은 고정된 자원과 이동성을 지닌 자원으로 나눌 수 있다. 하지만 현재 이동성을 지닌 센서 노드(Mobile Sensor Node)를 지원할 수 있는 USN 디렉토리 서비스는 보이지 않고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 Mobile Sensor Node의 특성을 지원하는 USN 디렉토리 서비스의 모델들을 제시하고 그에 대한 설계 및 구현을 논한다.

Recently research efforts for ubiquitous technology that includes RFID(Radio Frequency Deification and sensor networks are conducted very actively The architectural framework of the USN sensor network discovery service. The survey of the USN technology is conducted on four technological visions that contain USN system technology USN networking technology and USN middleware along with the service platform, With respect to each technological division domestic and worldwide leading research projects are primarily explored with their technical features and research projects are primarily explored with their technical features and research outputs. Boasted on the result of the survey we establish a USN software model that includes data sensing, sensor data storage sensor data storage sensor data naming and sensor feed name service. This main objective of this model is to provide a reference model for the facilitation of USN application developments.

Recently, USN applications are in the early stage of commercialization. But, there are still several problems to develop USN applications. It is mainly due to the current development scheme that solution vendors makes all of them including HW, SW, sensor modules. The development of USN applications could be revitalized if three entities such as PC platform developers, PC device vendors, and application developers would do their best as in PC development. In this paper, we suggest an sensor node platform architecture supporting sensor independency to overcome the difficulty of developing USN applications. Traditional platforms like Tiny-OS and Nano-Q+ do not support such sensor independency. At first, we present a unified API for sensor independency, and also suggest an architecture to support sensor independancy. Our architecture results in the revitalization of developing USN applications.

Recently, with the advances in sensor techniques and net work computing, Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) has been received a lot of attentions from various communities. The sensor nodes distributed in the sensor network tend to continuously generate a large amount of data, which is called stream data. Sensor stream data arrives in an online manner so that it is characterized as high-speed, real-time and unbounded and it requires fast data processing to get the up-to-date results. The data stream has many application domains such as traffic analysis, physical distribution, U-healthcare and so on. Therefore, there is an overwhelming need of a USN middleware for processing such online stream data to provide corresponding services to diverse applications. In this paper, we propose a novel USN middleware which can provide users both context-aware service and meaningful sequential patterns. Our proposed USN middleware is mainly focused on location based applications which use stream location data. We also show the implementation of our proposed USN middleware. By using the proposed USN middleware, we can save the developing cost of providing context aware services and stream sequential patterns mainly in location based applications.

USN Middleware plays roles of broker between sensors and applications. It collects sensor data, decides the situation and sends the result to the applications. It is not good to decide the situation from one sensor data, because it may error data or reflect small part of all. In this paper, we propose sensor 'group' concept. Group is the primary unit to decide the situation. It consists of several sensors which were installed in the same place and had the same pre-defined condition to act. For example, all fire sensors in the room simultaneously trigger the ring when the same pre-defined temperature is recorded. Then, the all fire sensors are included to the same one sensor group. All operations of the intelligent USN middleware are based on the 'group' unit. We studied the intelligent rules of USN middleware based on the group.

IP-based IP-USN overcomes that disadvantages of verify the existence and geographic limits of the sensor by applying a standard technique called 6LoWPAN. However, in terms of the management and cost, The USN node should work for a long period of time without periodic batter replacement. but this solution is insufficient.In this paper, we configure the node using TI's CC2530 that low-power Soc solution and Contiki OS for optimal low-power operation IP-USN and implement the gateway to support connecting IP networks and Sensor networks. In addition, a system implemented to measure and analyze the energy consumption of an independent power supply to look for ways.

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.

In sensor signal conditioning and processing, offset and drift characteristics of an operational amplifier are an important factor when the amplifier is used for a precise sensor signal amplifier. In order to use it in high accuracy, an expensive trimming or a complex compensation circuit is required. This paper presents the improved sensor signal conditioning and processing device for ubiquitous sensor network(USN) application or general purpose by developing a hardware of the circuit for reducing the offset voltage and drift characteristics, and a software for its control and sensor signal processing. We realize better offset voltage and drift characteristics of the signal conditioning circuit using low cost operational amplifiers. The experimental results show that this technique is effective in improving the performance of the sensor signal processing device.
