선형 네트워크 토폴로지에서 노드간 협력을 이용한 무선 전력공급 기반 멀티홉 전송 방식을 제안한다. 제안 프로토콜은 멀티홉 경로의 생존시간의 최대화를 목적으로 멀티홉 노드의 생존시간을 동일하게 맞추어 주도록 노드별 에너지 전송 시간을 결정한다. 각 노드의 생존시간을 동일하게 만들기 위하여 새떼가 동일 속도로 날아다니는 행동양식을 모방한 flocking 알고리즘을 적용하여 노드의 생존시간을 지역적으로 분산 평균화 시킨다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안 알고리즘이 각 노드의 생존시간을 모두 동일하게 만들어 전체 경로의 생존시간을 최대화할 수 있음을 보여준다.

본 논문은 사물인터넷 기반의 자가 전력을 이용한 무선 버스 정보 및 재난 정보 시스템에 관한 연구이다. 기존의 버스 정보 시스템은 유선으로 전력과 통신을 제공함에 따라 유선 매설작업으로 인한 설치비용 증가와 설치 장소 제약의 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 자가 전력을 이용한 무선 버스 정보 및 재난 정보 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템은 버스 도착 정보를 제공하며, 자연재해 등의 재난 발생 시, 시스템의 스피커를 통해 재난 정보도 알림으로써 혼란과 피해를 줄일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 태양광 모듈을 이용한 자가 전력 시스템을 제안하였고, 무선 WiFi 또는 LTE를 통해 데이터를 송·수신하기 때문에 설치비용을 줄일 수 있고 설치 장소 제약의 문제를 해결할 수 있다.

태양 에너지 기반 무선 센서 네트워크(SP-WSN) 환경에서는 주기적으로 배터리가 충전되므로 에너지 소모를 최소화하기보다는 수집된 에너지의 효율적인 사용이 중요하다. 한편, 잘 알려진 것처럼 SP-WSN을 포함하여 모든 센서 네트워크들은 사용되는 센서 노드의 특성상 성능이 제한적이므로 노드 간의 통신 신뢰도가 낮을 수밖에 없다. 본 논문에서는 위의 특성들을 고려하여 SP-WSN에서 신뢰성 있는 통신을 할 수 있는 향상된 순방향 에러정정 기법(FEC) 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 우선 1) 에너지 모델링을 통해 노드가 기본 동작 외에 여분으로 사용할 수 있는 에너지양을 계산하고, 이 에너지를 최대한 활용할 수 있는 에러 복구용 패리티의 크기를 결정한다. 동시에 2) 링크 품질 모델링을 통해 현재의 데이터 통신환경에서 에러 복구에 필요한 최적의 패리티도 계산한다. 최종적으로 3) 이 두 가지 패리티의 크기를 동시에 고려함으로써 노드의 정전시간을 줄이면서, 데이터 신뢰성을 증가시킬 수 있는 패리티 크기를 결정할 수 있다. 싱크에서 수집되는 데이터양과 정전되는 노드 수를 다른 기법들과 비교함으로써 성능검증을 수행하였다.

In wireless sensor networks, sensor nodes have a short transmission range and data is transferred from source to destination node using the multi-hop transmission. Sensor nodes are powered by battery and the link qualities are different, and the routing protocol in the wireless sensor network is one of the important technical issues. Multipath routing was proposed to reduce the data congestion and increase data throughput. In the multipath routing, however, each path can be interfered by the other path, and it can aggravate network performance. In this paper, we propose the multipath routing scheme for multi-rate wireless sensor networks. The multipath routing selects transmission paths to minimize transmission delay and path interference.

Efficient energy management is a very important issue in wireless sensor network since wireless sensor nodes are usually battery-powered. Recently, S-MAC protocol based on low duty-cycle has been proposed to reduce energy consumption. Even though research effort has been made to evaluate performance of S-MAC by conducting various simulations, however, some important simulation parameters are not well evaluated yet. In this paper, we identify the performance of S-MAC under different amount of streams and different patterns such as data rate and traffic. Through analyzing the simulation results, we discover weakness of S-MAC as well as analyze impact of amount of streams and packet pattern.

In wireless sensor networks where there is no centralized base station, each node has limited transmission range and the multi-hop routing for transmitting data to the destination is the one of the important technical issues. In particular, the wireless sensor network is not powered by external power source but operates by its own battery, so it is required to maximize the network life through efficient use of energy. To balance the power consumption, the residual power based adaptive power control is required in routing protocol. In this paper, we propose a routing protocol that prolongs the network lifetime by balancing the power consumption among the nodes by controlling the transmit power according to the residual power. We evaluate the proposed routing protocol using extensive simulation, and the results show that the proposed routing scheme can balance the power consumption and prolong network lifetime.

Owing to the intermittent power generation of renewable energy sources (RESs), future wireless cellular networks are required to reliably aggregate power from retailers. In this paper, we propose a distributed power allocation (DPA) scheme for base stations (BSs) powered by retailers with heterogeneous RESs in order to deal with the unreliable power supply (UPS) problem. The goal of the proposed DPA scheme is to maximize our well-defined utility, which consists of power satisfaction and unit power costs including added costs as a non-subscriber, based on linear and quadratic cost models. To determine the optimal amount of DPA, we apply dual decomposition, which separates the master problem into sub-problems. Optimal power allocation from each retailer can be obtained by iteratively coordinating between the BSs and retailers. Finally, through a mathematical analysis, we show that the proposed DPA can overcome the UPS for BSs powered from heterogeneous RESs.

Today, as railways increase their capacity and speeds, it is more important than ever to be completely aware of the state of vehicles fleet's condition to ensure the highest quality and safety standards, as well as being able to maintain the costs as low as possible. Operation of a modern, dynamic and efficient railway demands a real time, accurate and reliable evaluation of the infrastructure assets, including signal networks and diagnostic systems able to acquire functional parameters. In the conventional system, measurement data are reliably collected using coaxial wires for communication between sensors and the repository. As sensors grow in size, the cost of the monitoring system can grow. Recently, auto-powered wireless sensor has been considered as an alternative tool for economical and accurate realization of structural health monitoring system, being provided by the following essential features: on-board micro-processor, sensing capability, wireless communication, auto-powered battery, and low cost. In this work, an original harvester device is designed to supply wireless sensor system battery using train bogie energy. Piezoelectric materials have in here considered due to their established ability to directly convert applied strain energy into usable electric energy and their relatively simple modelling into an integrated system. The mechanical and electrical properties of the system are studied according to the project specifications. The numerical formulation is implemented with in-house code using commercial software tool and then experimentally validated through a proof of concept setup using an excitation signal by a real application scenario.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are composed of a large number of sensor nodes. Battery-powered sensor nodes have limited coverage; therefore, it is more efficient to transmit data via multi-hop communication. The network lifetime is a crucial issue in WSNs and the multi-hop routing protocol should be designed to prolong the network lifetime. Prolonging the network lifetime can be achieved by minimizing the power consumed by the nodes, as well as by balancing the power consumption among the nodes. A power imbalance can reduce the network lifetime even if several nodes have sufficient (battery) power. In this paper, we propose a routing protocol that prolongs the network lifetime by balancing the power consumption among the nodes. To improve the balance of power consumption and improve the network lifetime, the proposed routing scheme adaptively controls the transmission range using a power control according to the residual power in the nodes. We developed a routing simulator to evaluate the performance of the proposed routing protocol. The simulation results show that the proposed routing scheme increases power balancing and improves the network lifetime.
