CSS(Chirp Spread Spectrum) technology adopt SDS-TWR algorithms of TOA(Time of Arrival) using velocity of specific medium and ToF(Time of Flight) to measure a distance, but this method always has a regular error on distance regardless of a real distance, as a result, in far distance, it decrease a error on distance relatively, but in near distance, it increase a error on distance relatively. in this paper, we propose and test new method measuring a distance more precisely in near distance using CSS and RSSI

최근 전 세계적으로 IT 분야의 새로운 키워드로 부각되고 있는 것 중에 하나가 바로 무선 인터넷이다. 무선 인터넷이란 무선단말기를 사용하여 무선 환경에서 인터넷에 접속하여 데이터 통신이나 인터넷 서비스를 제공받을 수 있는 아키텍처와 기술 및 서비스를 말한다. 이러한 무선인터넷 기술은 기존의 유선 인터넷 기술과 더불어 정보의 활용 범위를 확장시키고 있다. 그러나 무선 인터넷 기술을 효과적으로 사용하기 위해서는 컨텐츠의 질적, 양적 공급이 확대되어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 기존의 유선환경에서 서비스되던 양질의 컨텐츠를 재사용하는 방안이 효과 적일 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 무선 컨텐츠의 새로운 구축의 개념에서 벗어나 컨텐츠 자동 재작성 기술을 바탕으로 부분조합방식의 컨텐츠 생성기법을 설계 구현하고자 한다.

Typical wireless sensor networks used in structural monitoring are continuous types wherein data transmission is progressive at all time that may include irrelevant and insignificant data and information. Continuous types of wireless monitoring systems often pose problems of handling large-sized data that may deteriorate the performance of the system. The proposed method is to suggest an event-triggered monitoring system that captures and transmits relevant data only. An error signal generated by the Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is utilized as an index for event detection and selective data transmission. With this new monitoring scheme, the remote server is relieved of unwanted data by receiving only relevant information from the wireless sensor networks. The performance of the proposed scheme was verified with simulation studies.

This paper proposes a wireless LAN antenna system that tracks an object automatically by using image-based tracking. The proposed system consists of a camera and a pan-tilt unit in addition to a directional wireless LAN antenna. The camera and the directional antenna are set in same direction and they are set on the pan-tilt unit. A target object which has a wireless LAN receiver is tracked by using images captured by the camera. And the directional antenna faces in same direction as the camera by the pan-tilt unit. Therefore, the directional antenna keeps pointing the receiver, and a transmitting efficiency is improved. A result of a fundamental experiment shows that a receiver attached to a flying airship was tracked by a prototype of the proposed antenna system. The airship flied about, and the proposed antenna system was set on a roof of a building. The experimental result indicates an effectiveness of the proposed system compared to the conventional directional LAN antenna.

Uncertainty is ubiquitous in target tracking wireless sensor networks due to environmental noise, randomness of target mobility and other factors. Sensing results are always unreliable. This paper considers unreliability as it occurs in wireless sensor networks and its impact on target-tracking accuracy. Firstly, we map intersection pairwise sensors' uncertain boundaries, which divides the monitor area into faces. Each face has a unique signature vector. For each target localization, a sampling vector is built after multiple grouping samplings determine whether the RSS (Received Signal Strength) for a pairwise nodes' is ordinal or flipped. A Fault-Tolerant Target-Tracking (FTTT) strategy is proposed, which transforms the tracking problem into a vector matching process that increases the tracking flexibility and accuracy while reducing the influence of in-the-filed factors. In addition, a heuristic matching algorithm is introduced to reduce the computational complexity. The fault tolerance of FTTT is also discussed. An extension of FTTT is then proposed by quantifying the pairwise uncertainty to further enhance robustness. Results show FTTT is more flexible, more robust and more accurate than parallel approaches.

Fruition for a diverse uIT(Ubiquitous Information Technology) service is currently required through the convergence of what is known as ubiquitous computing technology. In recent years, with the rapid growth of the need for information services, heavier demands have been made upon the supply of high-quality multimedia services that require a high bandwidth. Today, various home network solutions have been proposed to manage these service smoothly and a system able to deal with various types of network traffic without delays. In addition, in established home network environments that mix wired and wireless networks, along with the steady evolution of wireless network technology and the earnest development of ubiquitous computing technology, sensor-based wireless networks have emerged as a core solution for home networks. In this paper, a sensor network-based home control system supporting the next generation home gateway system for ubiquitous home environments is designed and implemented.

Recent researches reveal that great benefit can be achieved for data gathering in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) by employing mobile data collectors. In order to balance the energy consumption at sensor nodes and prolong the network lifetime, a multi-track large-scale mobile data collection mechanism (MTDCM) is proposed in this paper. MTDCM is composed of two phases: the Energy-balance Phase and the Data Collection Phase. In this mechanism, the energy-balance trajectories, the sleep-wakeup strategy and the data collection algorithm are determined. Theoretical analysis and performance simulations indicate that MTDCM is an energy efficient mechanism. It has prominent features on balancing the energy consumption and prolonging the network lifetime.

The aim of this paper is to design and implement a new ECG signal monitoring and analysis method for the home care of elderly persons or patients, using wireless sensor network (WSN) technology. The wireless technology for home-care purpose gives new possibilities for monitoring of vital parameter with wearable biomedical sensors and will give the patient freedom to be mobile and still be under continuously monitoring. Developed platform for portable real-time analysis of ECG signals can be used as an advanced diagnosis and alarming system. The ECG features are used to detect life-threatening arrhythmias, with an emphasis on the software for analyzing the P-wave, QRS complex, and T-wave in ECG signals at server after receiving data from base station. Based on abnormal ECG activity, the server transfer diagnostic results and alarm conditions to a doctor's PDA. Doctor can diagnose the patients who have survived from arrhythmia diseases.

무선 메쉬 네트워크는 Base Station 기반과 더불어 애드혹 네트워크나 블루투스와 같이 유연성을 가진 네트워크이다. 하지만 무선 메쉬 네트워크는 높은 패킷 손실률을 보이고 TCP(Transport Control Protocol) 알고리즘은 무선 메쉬 네트워크의 패킷손실 원인을 네트워크 내의 혼잡으로 인식하기 때문에 TCP 혼잡제어 알고리즘(Congestion Control Algorithm)을 실행하게 된다. 이러한 TCP 동작은 혼잡 손실이 아닌 패킷 손실로 발생 할 경우, 상당한 성능 저하를 초래하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서 TCP 혼잡제어 알고리즘의 성능을 개선시키기 위해 혼잡 윈도우를 무선망에서도 적응력 있게 조절하는 연구를 제안하였다.

Now a day, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are being widely used in different areas one of which is healthcare services. A wireless medical sensor network senses patient's vital physiological signs through medical sensor-nodes deployed on patient's body area; and transmits these signals to devices of registered medical professionals. These sensor-nodes have low computational power and limited storage capacity. Moreover, the wireless nature of technology attracts malicious minds. Thus, proper user authentication is a prime concern before granting access to patient's sensitive and private data. Recently, P. Kumar et al. claimed to propose a strong authentication protocol for healthcare using Wireless Medical Sensor Networks (WMSN). However, we find that P. Kumar et al.'s scheme is flawed with a number of security pitfalls. Information stored inside smart card, if extracted, is enough to deceive a valid user. Adversary can not only access patient's physiological data on behalf of a valid user without knowing actual password, can also send fake/irrelevant information about patient by playing role of medical sensor-node. Besides, adversary can guess a user's password and is able to compute the session key shared between user and medical sensor-nodes. Thus, the scheme looses message confidentiality. Additionally, the scheme fails to resist insider attack and lacks user anonymity.
