This paper proposes the optimal transmission parameter selection method for an energy efficient Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) system which is applicable to the Maritime Telematics targeting for various ship models. Since the transmission parameter selection is an important factor for WPAN system to decide its energy efficiency, we propose an energy consumption model for ship area network (SAN) employing IEEE 802.15.3 based TDMA HR-WPAN model and analyzes the effect of transmission parameter selection on the performance of energy consumption. In particular, the main performance decision parameter of the SAN applying HR-WPAN is path loss, since it is very varied according to the material of shipbuilding such as steel (large ship), FRP (medium size ship) and compound wood (small ship). Thus, we analyzed and demonstrated that the proper transmission parameter selection among transmit power, PHY data rate and fragment size for each ship model guarantee the energy efficiency.

The 6LoWPAN(IPv6 Low-power Wireless Personal Area Network) performs IPv6 header compression, TCP/UDP/IGMP header compression, packet fragmentation and re-assemble to transmit IPv6 packet over IEEE 802,15.4 MAC/PHY. However, from the point of view of security. It has the existing security threats issued by IP packet fragmenting and reassembling, and new security threats issued by 6LoWPAN packet fragmenting and reassembling would be introduced additionally. If fragmented packets are retransmitted by replay attacks frequently, sensor nodes will be confronted with the communication disruption. This paper analysis security threats introduced by 6LoWPAN fragmenting and reassembling, and proposes a re-transmission mechanism that could minimize re-transmission to be issued by replay attacks. Re-transmission procedure and fragmented packet structure based on the 6LoWPAN standard(RFC4944) are designed. We estimate also re-transmission delay of the proposed mechanism. The mechanism utilizes timestamp, nonce, and checksum to protect replay attacks. It could minimize reassemble buffer overflow, waste of computing resource, node rebooting etc., by removing packet fragmentation and reassemble unnecessary.

The Network Mobility (NEMO) and IPv6 over Low power WPAN (6LoWPAN) protocols are the two most important technologies in current networking research and are vital for the future ubiquitous environment. In this paper, we propose a compressed packet header format to support the mobility of 6LoWPAN. Also, a Lightweight NEMO protocol is proposed to minimize the signaling overhead between 6LoWPAN mobile routers and 6LoWPAN gateways by using a compressed mobility header. Performance results show that our Lightweight NEMO protocol can minimize total signaling costs and handoff signaling delay.

저렴한 비용, 매우 작은 파워 소비라 낮은 데이터 전송속도를 지원 하는 IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network) 기술은 앞으로 다가올 유비쿼터스 시대의 핵심이라고 할 수 있다. 도래할 유비쿼터스 시대에는 댁내에 LR-WPAN 기술을 적용한 다양한 상품이 보급될 것이다. 그러나 LR-WPAN은 매우 낮은 전력 소비를 위해 네트워크 기능을 최소화 하였기 때문에 응용에 있어 LAN 또는 WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network)등 기존 네트워크와의 통신 및 보안이 아직 고려되지 않아 보완이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 WLAN의 Station이 LR-WPAN을 보안적으로 안전하게 제어할 수 있도록 AP(Acess Point)와 WLAN의 Station 그리고 LR-WPAN의 PAN Coodinator 간의 새로운 Message와 Function를 정의하고, 다른 두 네트워크간의 효율적이고 보안이 유지되는 프레임 프로세싱 매커니즘을 제안한다.

In this paper, the performance of high data rate-wirelesss personal area network(HDR-WPAN) system is analyzed under multi-path indoor channel. In the analysis, Saleh and Valenzuel channel model is used for the multi-path indoor channel. From the results, HDR-WPAN system has reliability of 10-5 at Eb/No = 18.5dB in multi-path indoor channel. It is a suitable performance for high data rate personal area network applications.

WPAN 시스템 개발의 중요한 목표는 다양한 대역폭의 멀티미디어 서비스를 효율적으로 언제, 어디서나, 누구와도 자연스럽고 현실감 있게 정보를 교환할 수 있도록 제공하는 것이다. 멀티미디어 서비스 품질을 보장하기 위해서는 Ad hoc 네트워크에서 한정된 자원과 물리적인 한계에 의해서 가장 취약한 부분인 무선접속 구간에서의 트래픽 특성에 따른 채널할당이 가장 중요시 고려되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 WPAN을 응용을 지원하기 위한 대역폭 요구사항에 대해 알아보고, 응용 서비스별 트래픽 종류에 따라 WPAN MAC 계층에서의 채널 시간 할당방안에 대해 살펴본다.

The development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is progressed slowly due to limited resources, but it is in progress to the development of the latest IP-based IP-WSN by the development of hardware and power management technology. IPv6 over Low power WPAN (6LoWPAN) is capable of IPv6-built low-power devices. In these IP-based WSNs, existing IP-based techniques which was impossible in WSNs becomes possible. 6LoWPAN is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 sensor networks and is a IPv6-supported technology. Host-based mobility management scheme in IP-WSNs are not suitable due to the additional signaling, network-based mobility management scheme is more suitable. In this paper, we propose an enhanced PMIPv6-based route optimization scheme which consider multi-6LoWPAN network environments. All SLMA (Sensor Local Mobility Anchor) of the 6LoWPAN domain are connected with the SPIG (Sensor Proxy Internetworking Gateway) and performs distributed mobility control for the 6LoWPAN-based inter-domain operations. All information of SLMA in 6LoWPAN domain is maintained by SMAG (Sensor Mobile Access Gateway), and then is performed the route optimization quickly. The status information of the route optimization from SPIG is stored to SLMA and it is supported without additional signaling.

In this paper, we proposed two systems, STTC scheme and STBC-TCM scheme, to enhance the reliability of HDR-WPAN system and analyzed BER(bit error rate) performance of the proposed systems over the slow fading channel. The proposed systems had a diversity gain and coding gain without increasing an additional channel bandwidth. However, in terms of reliability, about 4dB improvement at BER=$10^{-4}$ was obtained by the STBC-TCM scheme. In addition, HDR-WPAN system with STBC-TCM scheme had a linear rise in system complexity of ML(maximum likelihood). From the results, STBC-TCM scheme was more appropriate to improve the reliability and channel efficiency and to reduce complexity of HDR-WPAN system.

If the PNC is shutting down or wants to leave the WPAN, it uses the handover process to give control to another device in the piconet. However when the PNC is selected, only the device capability information is checked in the WPAN standard specification and no detail criteria is described. In this paper, the PNC selection method with considering the number and density of device to maximize the piconet data throughput in the WPAN is studied. From the numerical analysis results, the considering with the devices concentration has higher data throughput compared with the uniform distribution. For the efficient performance, the device distribution within the piconet should be considered in the PNC selection.

Since most of devices in the IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN are expected to operate on batteries, they must be designed to consume energy in a very conservative way. Two energy conservation algorithms are proposed for the LR-WPAN: DDC (Dynamic Duty Cycle) and DBT (Dynamic Beacon Tracking). The DDC algorithm adjusts duty cycle dynamically depending on channel conditions. The DBT algorithm switches beacon tracking mode on and off adaptively depending on traffic conditions. Combining the two algorithms reduces energy consumption more efficiently for a wide range of input loads, while maintaining frame delivery ratio and average delay at satisfactory levels.
