Environmental monitoring systems are widely developed for analyzing environment and understanding an ecosystem according to the advance of wireless communication and various sensing techniques. To extract useful information, it requires high cost for processing a query, because these systems have to handle huge volume of raw sensor data which is transmitted from a wide area in environmental monitoring applications. Besides, it is also hard to answer an user defined query which requests to check current and near future condition. In this paper, we propose the monitoring system structure for processing a user defined query for environmental monitoring. It also describes the utilization of sensor data filtering and abstraction model. The designed abstraction model which is based on the slope grid in GIS supports fast data access and update. To analyze condition, the extracted data from abstraction model of each sensor type is combined in a query processor. It is useful to provide meaningful information to users.

Energy efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is very appealing research area due to serious constrains on resources like storage, processing, and communication power of the sensor nodes. Due to limited capabilities of sensing nodes, such networks are composed of a large number of nodes. The higher number of nodes increases the overall performance in data collection from environment and transmission of packets among nodes. In such networks the nodes sense data and ultimately forward the information to a Base Station (BS). The main issues in WSNs revolve around energy consumption and delay in relaying of data. A lot of research work has been published in this area of achieving energy efficiency in the network. Various techniques have been proposed to divide such networks; like grid division of network, group based division, clustering, making logical layers of network, variable size clusters or groups and so on. In this paper a new technique of group based WSNs is proposed by using some features from recent published protocols i.e. "Energy-Efficient Multi-level and Distance Aware Clustering (EEMDC)" and "Energy-Efficient Multi-level and Distance Aware Clustering (EEUC)". The proposed work is not only energy-efficient but also minimizes the delay in relaying of data from the sensor nodes to BS. Simulation results show, that it outperforms LEACH protocol by 38%, EEMDC by 10% and EEUC by 13%.

Nowadays, numerous of valuable internet services are available not only for personal computer but also for mobile appliances in wireless network environment. Therefore, as the amount of contents is increased for those services, the storage limitation on mobile devices has became a significant issue. In this paper, we present a new block-level storage network protocol, iATA (Internet Advanced Technology Attachment) as a solution to the above problem. iATA is designed to transport ATA block-level data and command over the ubiquitous TCP/IP network. With iATA, a mobile appliance is able to access and control the ATA storage devices natively through network from anywhere and at anytime as if the storage devices is attached locally. We describe the concepts, design and diverse consideration of iATA protocol. Based on the benchmark experiments and application exploitation, we strongly believe that iATA as a light-weight protocol is efficient and cost-effective to be used as a storage network protocol on a resource limited device that utilizes common-off-the-shelf storage hardware and existing IP infrastructure.

The electronic learning helped a learner to overcome the time restriction by providing mobility, instantly and flexibility but the restriction in connection with space on cable computer remained unsolved. Accordingly, the electronic learning has tendency to change into mobile learning environment which allows a learner to overcome time and spatial restriction. However, these mobile devices have a limitation to awareness of learning contents provided over the realtime video movie due to its small display size. Therefore, this paper suggests a technique according to the following priority: for a real time learning image, extract region of study for region of interest, rescale the real time image to its proper size suitable for the display device, and then make it displayed on a wireless PDA. As a result of the experiment, we reduced the calculating time by sampling the field centering on learning contents adaptively and computing the field best suited for device size of the user effectively.

Mobile device will be able to use the various contents from the advancement of the wireless Internet and mobile device manufacture technique. Each devices is HTTP headers about under using provides device information to contents provider in the provide the contents. However, There is no standard for device information provided, so interoperability problems, because external contents using mobile phone companies to provide the device information in a different way. International Organization for Standard OMA UAProf about under using it solved interoperability problems from outside. However, in using the UAProf can not provide for the complete device information, because MMS support information, smart card support, information and support for external storage is not specified. Thus, In this paper, we designed UAProf in base which provides the contents which has become optimize to the mobile device of domestic environment the mobile device description language which expresses device information which is necessar, and it used to design and implementation of the Contents Adaptation System.

As XML is used by standard format for information expression and information exchange in various field, Many Company began to use SVG by user interface or information expression tool of embedded system such as mobile phone based wireless internet. Because SVG has many additional information to keep structure of SVG document exception real data, there is a problem that transfer time of SVG file is so cost for quantity of transmitted data actually. To solve this problem, many researches using compression conception have been conducted for applying to an embedded system. This paper proposes SMETA that can use existing researches using compression concept at once. SMETA divides SVG file to each part that can allocate meaning, and gives semantic metadata to each part without alteration of SVG structure. SMETA can reduce site of transmitted SVG file actually by transmitting specification part of SVG file that metadata does not agree or has unlisted part in an embedded system between an embedded system and server, before transmit whole SVG file. By size of transmitting SVG file is decreasing, transfer time can be shortened accordingly.

Real-time applications in a wireless sensor network environment require real-time transmissions from sensing nodes to sink nodes. Existing congestion control mechanisms have treated congestion problems in sensor networks, but they only adjust the reporting frequency or the sending rate in intermediate nodes. They were not suitable for real-time applications from the transmission delays point of view. In this paper, we suggest a new mechanism that can reduce the transmission delay and can increase the throughput for real-time applications in sensor network. This mechanism classifies data on the real-time characteristics, processes the data maintaining the real-time characteristics prior to the other data such as the non real-time data or the data lost the real-time characteristics. A modified frame format is also proposed in order to apply the mechanism to IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layer. The simulation based on ns-2 is accomplished in order to verify the performance of the suggested scheme from transmission delay and throughput standpoints. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a better performance specifically when It applies to the real-time applications in sensor networks.

With the recent commercialization of the next generation of wireless 5G in everyday life, many changes have been made to organizations, industries and businesses of various sizes in various fields. However, although the improved speed and latency of 5G has improved, improvements in encryption, authentication and privacy are still required. In this paper, multiple groups of information management techniques are proposed to efficiently protect users' privacy in the heterogeneous environment of 5G. The proposed technique aims to allow distributed management of users' privacy links by clouding the privacy information generated by different heterogeneous devices to efficiently interface with different groups. Suggestion techniques process user-specific privacy information independently in a virtual space so that users can periodically synchronize their privacy information.

Koinonia system is designed to fully utilize the advantage of Binary CDMA so as to guarantee QoS in wireless networks. In this paper, we propose the new network structure based on this system and refer to it as BLAN(Binary CDMA LAN). Although BLAN is similar structure to IEEE 802.11 WLAN, it will ensure the fast handover and QoS. We also propose the AKA(Authentication and Key Agreement) protocol and Reauthentication protocol to be used for communication in BLAN. These protocols are securely and efficiently designed using the user identity module to support the more powerful authentication. Hence, BLAN, including the proposed protocols, will support the high mobility and security. In conclusion, we expect that BLAN can be applied to future infrastructure on special environment, and it can be helpful showing the new network model which alternate WLAN.
