Passive wireless devices have increasing civilian and military applications, especially in the scenario with wearable devices and Internet of Things. In this paper, we study indoor localization of a target equipped with radio-frequency identification (RFID) device in ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless networks. With known room layout, deterministic multipath components, including the line-of-sight (LOS) signal and the reflected signals via multipath propagation, are employed to locate the target with one transmitter and a single inaccurate receiver. A factor graph corresponding to the joint posterior position distribution of target and receiver is constructed. However, due to the mixed distribution in the factor node of likelihood function, the expressions of messages are intractable by directly applying belief propagation on factor graph. To this end, we approximate the messages by Gaussian distribution via minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD) between them. Accordingly, a parametric message passing algorithm for indoor passive localization is derived, in which only the means and variances of Gaussian distributions have to be updated. Performance of the proposed algorithm and the impact of critical parameters are evaluated by Monte Carlo simulations, which demonstrate the superior performance in localization accuracy and the robustness to the statistics of multipath channels.

An authentication between a user's terminal and a Access Control Router (ACR) is preceded so that a user receives secure WiBro services. Otherwise they can be exposed from many attack risks. So the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) constituted a mechanism of the mutual authentication for WiBro service. In mechanism a user executes the mutual authentication between a Portable Equipment (PE) and the ACR by using Portable Internet Subscriber Identity Module (PISIM). But this standard needs many message to authenticate the ACR and the users cann't use wireless Internet service. Therefore in this paper we propose the key agreement protocol between the PSS and the ACR to authenticate the PSS to ACR. At this time Power Support Device (PSD) fer supporting the calculated quantity of the PSS is participated in the key agreement protocol. The ACR sends a generated key to Key Authentication Server (KAS) via secure IPsec tunnel and then it preserves the identity of the PSS and the value of key after it enciphered them. In conclusion we analyze the security and efficiency of the proposed protocol.

An authentication procedure on wired and wireless network will be done based on the registration and management process storing both the user's IP address and client device's MAC address information. However, existent MAC address registration/administration mechanisms were weak in MAC Spoofing attack as the attacker can change his/her own MAC address to client's MAC address. Therefore, an advanced mechanism should be proposed to protect the MAC address spoofing attack. But, existing techniques sequentially compare a sequence number on packet with previous one to distinguish the alteration and modification of MAC address. However, they are not sufficient to actively detect and protect the wireless MAC spoofing attack. In this paper, both AirSensor and AP are used in wireless network for collecting the MAC address on wireless packets. And then proposed module is used for detecting and protecting MAC spoofing attack in real time based on MAC Address Lookup table. The proposed mechanism provides enhanced detection/protection performance and it also provides a real time correspondence mechanism on wireless MAC spoofing attack with minimum delay.

Ad-hoc networks can be used various environment, which it is difficult to construct infrastructures, such as shadowing areas, disaster areas, war area, and so on. In order to support to considerable and various wireless services, more spectrum resources are needed. However, efficient utilization of the frequency resource is difficult because of spectrum scarcity and the conventional frequency regulation. Ad-hoc networks employing cognitive radio (CR) system that guarantee high spectrum utilization provide effective way to increase the network capacity. In CR based wireless ad-hoc networks, cluster-head decides the existence of primary user using sensing information of primary user from each ad-hoc device. However, it is still defective research to decide cluster head among the a lot of ad-hoc devices. So, in this paper, we show the decision method of cluster head in CR based wireless and detection probabilities of primary user based on decision method of cluster head.

Things in the IoT(Internet of Things) make various services by exchanging information over networks. The IoT includes many types of WSNs(Wireless Sensor Networks) that consists of spatially distributed wireless sensor nodes and operates with the various purposes with useful technologies such as identification, sensing and communication. Typically, Zigbee network composed of low-cost and lowpower devices is mainly used for wide-area monitoring and remote device control systems. The IoT composed of various WSNs cannot interoperate among networks because of heterogeneous communication protocol and different data representation of each network, but can facilitate interconnection and information exchange among networks via the DDS, which is communication middleware standard that aims to enable real-time, high performance and interoperable data exchanges. In this paper, we proposed design of Zigbee Adaptor for two-way interoperation and data exchange between Zigbee network and other networks in the IoT. Zigbee Adaptor communicates with Zigbee network according to the Zigbee protocol and communicates with external networks via DDS. DDS-based Zigbee Adaptor can facilitate interoperation between a Zigbee network and external networks by systematic cooperation among its components.

Mobile devices become more complex and harder to manage due to the advance of technologies. In this paper, we designed and implemented the DM Agent based on OMA(Open Mobile Alliance) DM(Device Management) which is a standard for mobile device management. The proposed DM Agent basically can manage parameter configuration through the commands ADD, DELETE, REPLACE and GET currently. Each module of the agent was designed and implemented separately for additional functions such as error reporting and software management. So the additional functions can be added by modifying Adaptor part which processes the management commands instead of modifying other modules which analyze or generate management commands. The DM Agent proposed in this paper is implemented based on WIPI(Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability), therefore portability of the agent can be improved. In addition, this research can give a development example for dissenminating OMA DM as well as verify functional compatibility of WIPI platform. SK WIPI SDK and a Funambol DM test server are used to test operations of the implemented DM Agent.

In this paper, IoT(Internet of things) technology, which is the core of the 4th industrial revolution, was applied to the study of reduction of consumption current. The IoT is a sensor that collects data, a sensor communication, a gateway that processes and stores the collected data. Data application of IoT technology is applied to smart home, smart city, healthcare, smart factory, etc. and it needs to be applied to various industrial fields. By sensing the location of the sensor device, the specific functions of the gateway and the platform are turned ON and OFF to reduce the consumption current of the equipment during the OFF period. When the sensor device accesses the gateway, the specific function of the gateway is turned ON and When the device is separated from the gateway, it senses the sensitivity of the wireless signal and automatically turns off the certain functions. As a resurt, it has reduced the consumption of current. In this paper, we propose a novel system for detecting the location of sensor devices by applying IoT technology. The system implementation is realized by software based, and defines the requirements for the implementation of the sensor device gateway. The gateway automatically detects the location, movement of the device and performs necessary functions. Finally verifies the automatic detection performance of the gateway according to the location of the device. It will contribute greatly to the development of the smart city and office.
