최근 무선 통신의 발달과 함께 임베디드 시스템의 성능 향상 및 보급률 증가로 기존의 분산 시스템 환경에 무선 임베디드 시스템들이 포함되기 시작하였다. 분산 시스템을 구성하늘 요소들 간의 동기화, 순서화, 그리고 일관성 유지를 위하여 시간 동기화는 반드시 필요하고, 지난 20여 년간 분산 시스템에서의 시간 동기화에 관한 많은 연구가 이루어져 왔다. 하지만 무선 임베디드 시스템에서의 시간 동기화는 메시지 지연과 손실이 많다는 점과 풍부하지 않은 시스템 자원을 고려해야 하므로, 기존 유선 환경에서 사용되었던 시간 동기화 알고리즘을 그대로 적용하기에는 어려운 점이 많다. 이에 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11 표준을 확장하여 무선 임베디드 환경에 적합한 시간 동기화 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 브로드캐스트 통신의 특성을 활용하여 무선 임베디드 환경에서의 제약 조건을 완화함으로써 높은 정확성을 제공하면서 메시지 손실을 감내하여 연속적인 시간 동기화를 제공할 수 있다. 이를 위해 마스터/슬레이브 방식의 구조에서 마스터는 시간 동기화를 위한 시간 정보를 브로드캐스트하고, 슬레이브는 편차와 편차율을 계산하여 마스터의 시간을 추정하고 동기화된 시간인 가상 시간을 계산하였다. 실험을 통해 제안된 시간 동기화 알고리즘을 사용하는 경우 200${\mu}s$ 정도의 표준 편차 범위로 동기화할 수 있음을 보였다.

In the present, Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) has been used for the purpose of the military operation with surveillance systems and for collecting useful information from the natural environment. Basically, low-power, easy deployment and low cost are the most important factors to be deployed for WSNs. Lots of researches have been studied to meet those requirements, especially on the node capacity and battery lifetime improvements. Recently, the study of wireless mesh networks applied into the surveillance systems has been proceeded as a solution of easy deployment. In this paper, we proposed large-scale intelligent multi-layer surveillance systems based on QoS assuring Wireless Mesh Networks and implemented them in the real testbed environment. The proposed system explains functions and operations for each subsystem as well as S/W and H/W architectures. Experimental results are shown for the implemented subsystems and the performance is satisfactory for the surveillance system. We can identify the possibility of the implemented multi-layer surveillance system to be used in practice.

This paper presents an analysis architecture of embedded operating systems for wireless sensor network. Wireless multi-hop sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing device. We expect sensor networks to be deployed in an ad hoc fashion, with very high energy constraints. These characteristics of multi-hop wireless sensor networks and applications motivate an operating system that is different from traditional embedded operating system. These days new wireless sensor network embedded operating system come out with some advances compared with previous ones. The analysis is focusing on understanding differences of dominant wireless sensor network OS, such as TinyOS 2.0 with TinyOS 1.x.

Recently, more users have been using IoT embedded systems. Since the wireless network function is a basic and core function in most embedded systems, new security threats and weaknesses are expected to occur. In order to resolve these threats, it is necessary to investigate the security issues in the development stages according to the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). This study analyzes the vulnerabilities of the embedded systems equipped with the wireless network function, and derives possible security threats and how dangerous such threats are. We present security risks including bypassing the authentication stage required for accessing to the embedded system.

Structural control technologies have attracted great interest from the earthquake engineering community over the last few decades as an effective method of reducing undesired structural responses. Traditional structural control systems employ large quantities of cables to connect structural sensors, actuators, and controllers into one integrated system. To reduce the high-costs associated with labor-intensive installations, wireless communication can serve as an alternative real-time communication link between the nodes of a control system. A prototype wireless structural sensing and control system has been physically implemented and its performance verified in large-scale shake table tests. This paper introduces the design of this prototype system and investigates the feasibility of employing decentralized and partially decentralized control strategies to mitigate the challenge of communication latencies associated with wireless sensor networks. Closed-loop feedback control algorithms are embedded within the wireless sensor prototypes allowing them to serve as controllers in the control system. To validate the embedment of control algorithms, a 3-story half-scale steel structure is employed with magnetorheological (MR) dampers installed on each floor. Both numerical simulation and experimental results show that decentralized control solutions can be very effective in attaining the optimal performance of the wireless control system.

산업용 HMI(Human Machine Interface) 시스템은 공장 자동화의 주요 구성요소 중 하나로서 PLC와 연결되어 자동화 설비 또는 장치의 운전 상태를 감시하고 제어하는데 사용된다. 이러한 HMI는 주로 제조업체별로 특정한 시스템을 사용하고, 근거리에 위치하여 쓰이기 때문에 시스템 개발 시 많은 부하를 주게 되고 시스템 확장이 어려운 단점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 오픈 소스인 임베디드 리눅스 기반에 멀티 플랫폼을 지원하는 Qt/Embedded와 무선 통신 모듈을 사용하여 터치패널형 산업용 HMI 소프트웨어 모듈을 설계 및 구현하였다. 이 모듈은 Qt가 지원되는 시스템이면 소스 수정 없이 사용할 수 있으며 무선 랜 모듈을 이용하여 시스템의 이동성 및 네트워크 구축 및 시스템 확장을 보다 유동성 있게 설계할 수 있다. 이에, 리눅스 기반의 무선통신이 가능한 HMI 소프트웨어 모듈 구현으로 이동성 확보 및 범용 운영체제의 사용으로 인한 시스템 개발 시 부하 감소와 가격 경쟁력의 향상을 이루게 되었다.

This paper introduces balancing energy and memory consumption for lifetime increase of wireless sensor network. In cluster-based wireless sensor network, sensor nodes adjacent of cluster heads have a tendency to deplete their own battery energy and cluster heads occupy memory space significantly. If the nodes close to region where events occur frequently consume their energy and memory fully, network might be destroyed even though most of nodes are still alive. Therefore, it needs to balance network energy and memory with consideration of event occurrence probability so that network lifetime is increased. We show a method of balancing wireless sensor network energy and memory to organize cluster groups and elect cluster heads in terms of event occurrence probability.

This paper deals with the electrical shock that can occur in a car wireless charging system. The recently released the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) standard specifies that the receiver must be protected from the radio power generated by the transmitter and presents two scenarios in which the receiver may be subjected to electrical shock due to the wireless power generated by the transmitter. The WPC also provides a hardware approach for blocking the wireless power generated by the transmitter to protect the receiver in each situation. In addition, it presents the hardware constraints that must be applied to the transmitter and the parameters that must be constrained by the software. In this paper, we analyze the results of the electric shock in the vehicle using the WPC certified transmitter and receiver in the scenarios presented by WPC. As a result, we found that all the scenarios had electrical shocks on the receiver, which could have a significant impact on the receiver circuitry. Therefore, we propose wireless power transfer limit (WPTL) algorithm to protect receiver circuitry in various vehicle charging environments.

Impact detection and health monitoring are very important tasks for civil infrastructures, such as bridges. Piezoceramic based transducers are widely researched for these tasks due to the piezoceramic material's inherent advantages of dual sensing and actuation ability, which enables the active sensing method for structural health monitoring with a network of piezoceramic transducers. Wireless sensor networks, which are easy for deployment, have great potential in health monitoring systems for large civil infrastructures to identify early-age damages. However, most commercial wireless sensor networks are general purpose and may not be optimized for a network of piezoceramic based transducers. Wireless networks of piezoceramic transducers for active sensing have special requirements, such as relatively high sampling rate (at a few-thousand Hz), incorporation of an amplifier for the piezoceramic element for actuation, and low energy consumption for actuation. In this paper, a wireless network is specially designed for piezoceramic transducers to implement impact detection and active sensing for structural health monitoring. A power efficient embedded system is designed to form the wireless sensor network that is capable of high sampling rate. A 32 bit RISC wireless microcontroller is chosen as the main processor. Detailed design of the hardware system and software system of the wireless sensor network is presented in this paper. To verify the functionality of the wireless sensor network, it is deployed on a two-story concrete frame with embedded piezoceramic transducers, and the active sensing property of piezoceramic material is used to detect the damage in the structure. Experimental results show that the wireless sensor network can effectively implement active sensing and impact detection with high sampling rate while maintaining low power consumption by performing offline data processing and minimizing wireless communication.
