재난안전망에 소형의 이동무선통신망을 보조적으로 사용하면 소규모의 전파 음영지역 해소, 재난지역의 트래픽 과부하 해소 그리고 접근이 어려운 지역에서 신속하게 재난통신망을 구축하는데 유용하게 활용할 수 있다. 휴대형 이동기지국은 소형의 이동무선망을 구축하는데 필요하며, TVWS(TV White Space)를 활용하는 이동형 기지국은 전파의 활용과 무선망의 구축비용 측면에서 효과적이다. 논문에서는 TVWS에서 동작하는 이동기지국용 전력증폭기를 설계 및 구현하였다. 구현한 전력증폭기는 TV대역인 470 ~ 698MHz에서 동작하며, 이득은 20.1dB 이상, 입출력 반사손실은 11.4dB 이상, 출력을 off 하였을 때 격리도는 39.9dB 이상이었다. 전력증폭기의 IMD(Intermodulation Distortion) 특성은 470MHz에서 18.8dBm을 출력할 때 61.0dBc, 550MHz에서 18.6dBm 출력시 59.3dBc 그리고 690MHz에서 19.0dBm 출력시 56.5dBc의 특성을 갖는다. 본 논문에서 구현한 전력증폭기는 국내 전파법 규정을 만족하므로 이동 기지국용 전력증폭기로 사용할 수 있다.

With the increasing demands for mobile wireless sensor networks in recent years, designing an energy-efficient clustering and routing protocol has become very important. This paper provides an analytical model to evaluate the power consumption of a mobile sensor node. Based on this, a clustering algorithm is designed to optimize the energy efficiency during cluster head formation. A genetic algorithm technique is employed to find the near-optimal threshold for residual energy below which a node has to give up its role of being the cluster head. This clustering algorithm along with a hybrid routing concept is applied as the near-optimal energy-efficient routing technique to increase the overall efficiency of the network. Compared to the mobile low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy protocol, the simulation studies reveal that the energy-efficient routing technique produces a longer network lifetime and achieves better energy efficiency.

In recent, ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical) band that is 2.4GHz band authorized free of charge is being widely used for smart phone, notebook computer, printer and portable multimedia devices. Accordingly, studies have been continuously conducted on the possibility of coexistence among nodes using ISM band. In particular, the interference of IEEE 802.11b based Wi-Fi device using overlapping channel during communication among IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless sensor nodes suitable for low-power, low-speed communication using ISM band causes serious network performance deterioration of wireless sensor networks. This paper examined a method of identifying channel status to avoid interference among wireless communication devices using IEEE 802.11b (Wi-Fi) and other ISM bands during communication among IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless sensor network nodes in ISM band. To identify channels occupied by Wi-Fi traffic, various studies are being conducted that use the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) value of interference signal obtained through ED (Energy Detection) feature that is one of IEEE 802.15.4 transmitter characteristics. This paper examines an algorithm that identifies the possibility of using more accurate channel by mixing utilization of interference signal and RSSI mean value of interference signal by wireless sensor network nodes. In addition, it verifies such algorithm by using OPNET Network verification simulator.

IEEE 802.15.4 low-rate Wireless Personal Area Networks(WPAN) are expected to provide ubiquitous networking between small personal/home devices and sensors with low power consumption and low cost features. The technology employs special CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/collision Avoidance) to save power consumption for small or portable WPAN-enabled devices. In this paper, we simulation the slotted CSMA/CA of IEEE 802.15.4 MAC and evaluate its performance limit in order to grasp the characteristics of Medium Access Control (MAC) of IEEE 802.15.4 WPAN.

The non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique offers throughput improvement to meet the demands of the future generation of wireless communication networks. The objective of this work is to further improve the throughput by including an underlay cognitive radio network with an existing multi-carrier NOMA network, using cooperative communication. The throughput is maximized by optimal resource allocation, namely, power allocation, subcarrier assignment, relay selection, user pairing, and subcarrier pairing. Optimal power allocation to the primary and secondary users is accomplished in a way that target rate constraints of the primary users are not affected. The throughput maximization is a combinatorial optimization problem, and the computational complexity increases as the number of users and/or subcarriers in the network increases. To this end, to reduce the computational complexity, a dynamic network resource allocation algorithm is proposed for combinatorial optimization. The simulation results show that the proposed network improves the throughput.

무선 센서 네트워크에서의 센서 노드는 일반적으로 교체 불가능한 배터리를 전원으로 사용하기 때문에 에너지 효율적인 통신 프로토콜 개발이 가장 중요한 이슈이다. 무선 센서네트워크에서 에너지 효율적인 MAC 프로토콜은 무선 매체의 공유 방식에 따라 주로 경쟁 기반 흑은 스케줄 기반으로 나눌 수 있다. 하지만 경쟁 기반 프로토콜과 스케줄 기반 프로토콜은 상반된 특징을 갖기 때문에 두 가지 프로토콜을 혼합해서 사용할 경우 보다 좋은 성능을 발휘할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크 환경에서 센서 노드의 에너지 소모를 줄이고 네트워크의 수명을 최대화하기 위해 Tiered-MAC을 제안한다. Tiered-MAC은 싱크 노드와 센서 노드로 구성되는 계층적 센서 네트워크 구조에서 싱크 노드의 최대 전송 영역은 스케줄 기반의 TDMA를 사용하고, 이외의 영역은 경쟁 기반의 CSMA를 사용함으로써 많은 데이터 트래픽이 집중하여 혼잡상황이 잦은 싱크 노드 주변의 송수신을 관리하여 불필요한 에너지 소비를 줄이도록 설계하였다. NS-2 시뮬레이터를 이용한 실험을 통하여 제안하는 기법이 에너지 효율적으로 동작하는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents an architecture for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with blind source separation (BSS) applied to retrieve the received mixing signals of the sink nodes first. The little-to-no need of prior knowledge about the source signals of the sink nodes in the BSS method is obviously advantageous for WSNs. The optimization problem of the BSS of multiple independent source signals with complex and noncircular distributions from observed sensor nodes is considered and addressed. This paper applies Castella's reference-based scheme to Novey's negentropy-based algorithms, and then proposes a novel fast fixed-point (FastICA) algorithm, defined as the reference-signal negentropy complex FastICA (RSNT-cFastICA) for complex-valued noncircular-distribution source signals. The proposed method for the sink nodes is substantially more efficient than Novey's quasi-Newton algorithm in terms of computational speed under large numbers of samples, can effectively improve the power consumption effeciency of the sink nodes, and is significantly beneficial for WSNs and wireless communication networks (WCNs). The effectiveness and performance of the proposed method are validated and compared with three related BSS algorithms through theoretical analysis and simulations.

Rain attenuation and intercell interference are two crucial factors in the performance of broadband wireless access networks such as local multipoint distribution systems (LMDS) operating at frequencies above 20 GHz. Power control can enhance the performance of downlink CDMA-based LMDS systems by reducing intercell interference under clear sky conditions; however, it may damage system performance under rainy conditions. To ensure robust operation under both clear sky and rainy conditions, we propose a novel power-control scheme which applies an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for downlink CDMA-based LMDS systems. In the proposed system, the rain rate and the number of users are two inputs of the fuzzy inference system, and output is defined as channel quality, which is applied in the power control scheme to adjust the power control region. Moreover, ITU-R P.530 is employed to estimate the rain attenuation. The influence of the rain rate and the number of users on the distance-based power control (DBPC) scheme is included in the simulation model as the training database. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme improves the throughput of the DBPC scheme.

Integrity authentication of biometric data in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a critical issue because the sensitive data transmitted over broadcast wireless channels could be attacked easily. However, traditional cryptograph-based integrity authentication schemes are not suitable for WBAN as they consume much computational resource on the sensor nodes with limited memory, computational capability and power. To address this problem, a novel lightweight integrity authentication scheme based on reversible watermark is proposed for WBAN and implemented on a TinyOS-based WBAN test bed in this paper. In the proposed scheme, the data is divided into groups with a fixed size to improve grouping efficiency; the histogram shifting technique is adopted to avoid possible underflow or overflow; local maps are generated to restore the shifted data; and the watermarks are generated and embedded in a chaining way for integrity authentication. Our analytic and experimental results demonstrate that the integrity of biometric data can be reliably authenticated with low cost, and the data can be entirely recovered for healthcare applications by using our proposed scheme.
