The conventional channel selection method for a ZigBee communication network basically detects the energy values in all channels. In the ISM band, no license is required to use channels in this band, so there may exist various interference factors in this band. It is well known that WLAN is the major interference factor degrading the performance of ZigBee in the ISM band. In this paper, we propose an efficient channel selection algorithm which uses the pattern of WLAN channel uses as the a priori information. By using the proposed algorithm, we may save the time required to select channels for the ZigBee communications.

In the existing RF communication based WPAN environment, a lowering of battery span and interference problem among sensors occur because the value of output is set and transmitted steadily when the system on sensor is initialized. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework and a transmit method with low power which decreases the electricity consumption by properly controling transmit power of opponent by received signal strength indicator(RSSI) of each sensor. The system proposes a power-lowering method by controling transmit power properly by the transmit intensity of the connected sensor after being affected by the transmit intensity of surrounded sensor. The framework that is proposed in this paper includes data transmit module, transmit power manager module, transmit power searching module, signal transmit module, and signal receiving module.

In this paper, we propose a smart wall switch based on IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard 2.4GHz band communication. As the 4th industrial era evolves, smart home solution development is actively underway, and application cases for smart wall switches are increasing. Most of the Chinese products that preoccupy the market through price competitiveness use Bluetooth and Zigbee communication switches. However, while ZigBee communication is low power, communication speed is slower than Bluetooth and network configuration through a separate hub is additionally required. The Bluetooth method has problems in that the communication range and speed are lower than Wi-Fi communication, the communication standby time is relatively long, and security is weak. In this study, an IEEE 802.11b/g/n smart wall switch applied with Wi-Fi communication technology was developed. In addition, through the two-wire structure, it is designed so that no additional cost is incurred through the construction of a separate neutral line in the building. The result of the study is more than 30% cheaper than the existing wall switch, so it is judged that it will be able to preoccupy the market not only in terms of technological competitiveness but also price competitiveness.

In this paper, we implemented a heartbeat-signal monitoring system that can measure and check the heartbeat of a human body in any time and anywhere. The implemented prototype is composed of heartbeat measurement terminal, gateway, and server that collect and process data. The terminal compose sensor network using ZigBee protocol. And server acquire heartbeat signal through differentiating collected data two times, and store above data to database and manage it. We can understand the status of examinee's heart without restriction and self-awareness. Through experiment, we confirmed the possibility of ubiquitous healthcare system based on sonsor network using the ZigBee.

RFID와 sensor network의 두 기반 기술은 독특한 물리적 특정을 가지며 상호 보완적인 관계를 가지고 있다. 이러한 관계는 창고 안 물품의 상태파악과 입출 재고를 관리하는 형태로 응용된다. 창고 내 물품 보관 단위인 파렛트(Pallet) 에 RFID 태그를 부착하여 입/출고시의 물품을 식별한다. 그리고 Zigbee 무선 통신기능을 가진 센서 모듈에 의해 물품의 환경 상태 정보를 파악한다. 이후 현장 관리자나 소비자들은 이동형 단말장치를 통해 현장에서 다양한 USN 상의 정보들과 상호작용 한다. 이 과정에서 이동형 단말장치를 통한 RFID tag 정보와 센서 노드의 접근이 공중파 상에 노출 된다. 이러한 센서 노드 접근을 보호하기 위해 추가적인 칩 설계 등의 비용 지불로 기밀 노출에 대처할 수 있다. 이에 대한 대안으로 인프라형태로 놓여진 RFID tag와 단말장치에 탑재될 RFID 리더를 활용해 더 적은 비용으로 보안 서비스를 받고자 한다. 그래서 유비쿼터스 환경에서 센서 노드에 대한 접근을 제어하기 위해 RFID tag를 지역키(local key) 처럼 사용한다. 또한 이 과정에 보안이 적용된 프로토콜을 설계 하는 것이 본 논문의 주된 목표이다.

The object of this paper is to describe the ubiquitous computing technologies for ship, which is produced and assembled by many steel blocks. It includes the testing of a 2.4GHz wireless communications platforms and radio-frequency identification technology with the blocks disturbing the wireless communication. The power line communication that is established in a ship already is also experimented for some data transfer. Also, possible application areas of the ubiquitous computing technology to ships are discussed. At last, the test bed copied from an actual vessel was installed and data acquisition tests were established using wire and wireless communication. In this paper, we implemented some ubiquitous computing technologies in the test bed simulating a ship environment and investigated the basic characteristics of ubiquitous computing technologies.

Basic performances of wireless sensor network (WSN) and power line communication (PLC) confirmed in the test bed ashore are investigated in the 3000-ton class training ship of Korea Maritime University. The ubiquitous technologies can be considered for the provision of safety and convenience in a ship. We employed WSN and PLC, as the ubiquitous technologies, at the two areas within the training ship to estimate the realization of the ubiquitous environments in a ship. The experiments show rather good results in terms of data transfer rate. However, more detailed studies concerning the connection between WSN and PLC, noises induced to power line and fading effects are required to improve the quality and the stability of the communication for the ubiquitous environments.
