The low-voltage connection box used as a low-voltage transmission line of KEPCO is intended to branch or connect to an underground line. In comparison with the utility considering the aesthetics of the distance, and safety measures are needed. In this paper, temperature and humidity, $CO_2$, water level, acceleration, and vibration sensor are installed inside the underground low voltage handhole, and the sensor data is transmitted to the ground using the Zigbee module. Antenna (Bolted Antenna) for communication with the ground was proposed and the data reception through it was confirmed. In the LF mode and the HEX mode, the transmitted data was confirmed to be a perfect reception success rate. In the case of the bolted antenna, the difference between the ground state and the underwater state was observed as a result of the experiment in the environmental environment. However, It was judged that reception sensitivity was sufficient for communication. The received data could be confirmed through PC based GUI.

전자파표면유속계는 여러 측정지점을 가능한 신속하게 이동하면서 홍수시 유속을 측정하는데 그 목적이 있다. 또한 홍수시 유속은 시간대 별로 급격히 변하는 속성을 가지고 있으므로 유량측정 지점의 유량을 실시간으로 획득하기 위해서는 현장 측정에서 측정한 유량데이터가 실시간으로 집계 되어야한다. 현재의 시스템은 측정 정보를 실시간으로 전송하기 위하여 현장 측정자에게 PDA가 보급되어 있으며 CDMA망을 통해서 유량 측정을 위한 각종 정보 및 측정결과를 실시간 전송하도록 되어있다. 그러나 전자파표면유속계를 비롯한 각종 유속계가 PDA와 무선으로 통신을 할 수 있게 되어있지 않기 때문에 열악한 여건의 현장에서 측정한 데이터를 야장에 수기로 기록한 후 이를 다시 PDA에 수동으로 입력시켜야하는 불편함이 있다. 전자파표면 유속계를 제외한 다른 측정 장비는 제조회사가 수자원공사와 독립적인 업체이므로 통신 접속을 하기위한 특정 인터페이스를 알아내기가 어려운 실정이다. 그러나 전자파표면유속계는 수자원공사에서 개발한 장비로서 핵심기술을 수자원공사에서 보유하고 있으므로 PDA와 통신을 가능하게 하는 장치의 개발이 가능하다. 이에 이러한 불편한 문제점을 개선하여 현장에서 홍수 유량 측정시 작업자들의 편이성을 증대시키고자 전자파표면유속계와 PDA간에 근거리통신기법을 적용하였다. 이를 위하여 Bluetooth, UWB(Ultra-Wide Band, 초광대역통신), Zigbee 등 적용가능한 근거리 통신기법을 조사하였다. 그 결과 Zigbee가 소비전력이 적어 현장에서 홍수유량측정에 이용되는 전자파표면유속계에 적용성이 가장 뛰어난 것으로 나타났다. 무선통신 모듈과 연동되는 전자파표면유속계는 이동식을 기준으로 적용하였으며 기존 신호처리부에 무선통신 모듈을 장착할 수 있는 구조로 설계하였다. 장착 방식은 기존 이동식 유속계의 신호처리부의 RS-232 포트에 무선통신 모듈을 장착하면 사용할 수 있는 구조로 되어있다. 신호처리부 RS-232 포트는 현재까지는 측정한 유속값을 PC로 전송받는 용도로 활용되었으나 무선모듈 장착 시에는 무선통신 할 수 있는 이중화 구조를 채택하였다. 두 가지 방식에 대한 통신구별은 초기에 송수신하는 데이터에 따라 구별되도록 하였다. 신호처리부에서 무선통신 추가에 따른 운용 방식은 별도의 수자원공사 모드를 추가하여 운용하도록 수정하였다. 유속 측정 시에는 무선통신 모듈을 제거한 상태에서 측정한 후, 측정한 데이터를 PDA로 전송할 때 아를 부착하여 사용할 수 있는 구조를 갖도록 제작하였다. 이러한 방식을 적용시킨 이유는 기존에 보급된 유속계에 무선모듈을 장착한 후, 신호처리부 운용 프로그램을 업그레이드하면 바로 사용할 수 있도록 하기 위함이다.

Using sensor devices applied to various objects will be needed wireless network that it is easy to install in them. Tiny devices configured to processor that bas comparatively low computing ability are inappropriate to use devices that are wireless LAN, etc. In result, network devices needed to not only have simple communication protocol, but have Plug and Play function that it works as soon as it connects without installing any device driver. it also will industrially have both low power and low cost because of mobility of it. From IEEE 802.11 standard, WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network) included in LAN is being developed by WPAN WG(Working Group) on area with low power consumption and low complexity. In addition to, it is standardizing MAC and PRY of the standard that is expected to wirelessly communicate within 10m. WPAN will be used generally in the more near future because of both low power and low cost of Zigbee. In this paper we designed zigbee based user authentication module for a automotive smart-key system.

As a promising technology that enables ubiquitous computing and will lead the information technology industries of the next generation, the new field of sensor networks is one of the most active research topics today. From now on, each node, the network formation, and even the sensor network itself will interact with the generic network and evolve dynamically according to environmental changes, in a process of continual creation and extinction. In this paper, we propose a address-Internetworking scheme for interactive networking between a sensor network and the Internet based on the TCP port-numbers. The proposed scheme enables internetworking between a sensor network address scheme based on Zigbee and the Internet address scheme based on the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). We implement the proposed address-Internetworking scheme using Berkeley TinyOS, Mica Motes, and IP. In addition we verify the proposed scheme by an interconnection experiment, which involves wireless sensor networks and the Internet, using IPv4/IPv6.

Entering the twenty-first century, the technology of wireless communication develops the applications with the ubiquitous concept. It is standardized and can be choose for various uses in different fields. With this trend and the advantages of wireless system, the research is conducted to use wireless system instead of wire system to existing equipment on aircraft. Wireless system is general on aircraft. However, wire system is used to communicate ground crew and pilot and to get data from equipment installed on aircraft. In this study, a wireless voice communication system was developed to communicate ground crew and pilot on aircraft as effective wireless system. Also, a wireless system to transmit and receive voltage and current data was developed.

FBG sensors are mainly used to measure deformation of structures such as tunnels, bridges and ships. In this paper, an interrogator of FBG sensors is developed and implemented to measure the status of structures. A developed interrogator includes CAN wired and Zigbee wireless communication for remote monitoring. Strain of structure is measured using shift of wavelength of reflected light from FBG sensor. A digital signal controller is used to process signals of a FBG sensor and transmit data for remote monitoring. As a result of experiment, developed interrogator is effective to measure deformation of structures.

The safety-related accident in which the field operators of all sorts of industrial sites don't fasten the seat belt properly and which it generates is the tendency that it increases constantly every year. By sounding the announcement sound in case the operator did not fasten the seat belt and the person seat belt monitoring system proposed in this paper progressed the work the operator fastened the seat belt properly. In addition, at the same time with that, since the administrator monitored the seat belt wearing or no of the operators on a real time basis the safety-related accident which did not wear the safety equipment properly and which it generates was prevented.

In IP-USN for replacing the sensor network based on Zigbee by IP-based it, routing and the address assignment technique for sensor node are important focuses. But, there is a weak point in existing hierarchical routings. It is that all paths must be searched because the end node isn't considered. And the end node based muting is not sufficient in the mobile sensor network environment because it supports the only simple-path-search. Hereupon, this thesis suggests ComHRP(Complement HRP) that have the only merits of existing methods. The address assignment technique and search method are also proposed. ComHRP simplifies the organization of sensor networks and reduces network complexity. Also, It can efficiently deal with restructuring networks for the unpredictable ubiquitous sensor network feature.
