In recent years, as safety management in underground mines has become more important in the worldwide, mine safety management technologies combining information communication technology such as real-time worker position tracking, monitoring system and equipment remote control have been developed. Wireless communication system is mainly applied to these technologies for the flexibility of network configuration. There are some cases the monitoring system was installed in domestic underground mines, but, it is necessary to develop the technology more suitable for domestic mining standard. In this study, we developed the real-time environmental monitoring system using ZigBee technology and examined the result of application to domestic limestone mine. Furthermore, applicability of the developed environment monitoring system to $VentSim^{TM}$ LiveView was checked. This study is expected to contribute to the related studies like the optimization of the ventilation system in underground mines.

Recently, To provide various service for user, there are some trends to construct health care system using bio-sensors and wireless network technologies. Accordingly, An effective middleware is needed to manage and control the various bio-sensors. Also, it is important to extend network and interoperate the various application system in healthcare service. In this paper, we propose to be connected with network based on UPnP by design and implementation of UPnP-ZigBee bridge. The proposed UPnP-ZigBee bridge manage and control ZigBee sensor module effectively. we implemented and tested ECG, PPG, and environment sensor module based on ZigBee wireless network to apply in health care service.

Recently, the effort to reduce $CO_2$ emission concerning certified emission reductions (CERs) is progressing lively with the institute in the center through lifecycle. However, the technique for reduce $CO_2$ emission is the first stage yet and the technique is insufficient to calculate with accuracy it. Therefore, this study tries to develop the method to measure by actual time $CO_2$ emission of construction equipment using Zigbee sensor. To review the method that calculate $CO_2$ emission, have classified the impact factors that affect at $CO_2$ emission by IPCC guideline. It also has review the application of Zigbee sensor that use wireless data communication. The reviewed result get that the measuring objects are the $CO_2$ emssion, RPM and fuel consumption of equipment, there are needs to search the year of equipment, waiting time, kind of vehicle and fuel that affect to $CO_2$ emission.

Sensor networks are needed for special purposes such as collecting or transmitting information by using sensor devices, for which various routing protocols have been proposed. Among existing protocols, the modified PEGASIS routing technique is known to be effective when applied to cases with directional transmissions of data. However it does not consider recovery from errors or guaranteeing stability in data transmission, while sensor devices performing repetitive relays and controls are prone to errors. In this paper, a double relay routing protocol for Zigbee based sensor networks where data are transfered reliably with a linear direction. The proposed protocol is effective in the sense that it secures the relaible transmission of data with minimal energy consumption based on a directional data transfer. A streetlight control system has been presented as an application of the proposed protocol.

Effective construction safety management systems are desperately required for reducing damage caused by increasing safety accidents in construction sites. Safety accidents in construction sites can effectively protect if proactive measures are taken to prevent unauthorized worker access the expected hazardous area. In this study, we have developed a IoT(Internet of Things)-based dangerous zone alarming system for safety management in construction sites, which can be operated at low cost in large-scale sites as well as small and medium-sized construction sites. The development system utilizes a Zigbee-based beacon technology and cellular mobile communication technology to detect when authorized workers, unauthorized field workers or outsiders approaches hazardous zones. If somebody approaches the dangerous zones the system notifies immediately to the safety manager with a danger warning signal. It is expected that this system can effectively prevent safety accidents when applied to construction sites.

It can improve human being's life quality that all people can have more convenient medical service under pervasive computing environment. For a pervasive health care application for diabetes patient, we've implemented a health care system, which is composed of three parts. Various sensors monitor both outer and inner environment of human such as temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and glycemic index, etc. These sensors form zigbee based sensor network. And medical information server accumulates sensing values and performs back-end processing. To simply transfer these sensing values to a medical team is a low level's medical service. So, we've designed a new service model based on back propagation neural network for more improved medical service. Our experiments show that a proposed healthcare system can give high level's medical service because it can recognize human's context more concretely.

These days, the cruise tourist industry is one of the most dynamic and fastest growing components of the leisure industry in the world. Therefore, the cruise ship with ubiquitous technology is expected to enhance the operation efficiency of the ship. It can also provide valuable addition to the ship's service as well as high quality of life to crews and passengers. Since a large number of passengers are dwelling in cruise ship, all passengers are not easy to use ship's facilities, such as restaurants, fitness center, swimming pool and spa at anytime they want. In this paper, passenger service system in ship environment is tested in similar environment and under ship operation condition. We have proposed three applications of ubiquitous technology using Zigbee communication and LabView program.

With ubiquitous computing aid, it can improve human being's life quality if all people have more convenient medical service under pervasive computing environment. In this paper, for a pervasive health care application for diabetes patient, we've implemented a health care system, which is composed of three parts. Various sensors monitor both outer and inner environment of human such as temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and glycemic index, etc. These sensors form zigbee-based sensor network. And as a backend, medical information server accumulates sensing data and performs back-end processing. To simply transfer these sensing values to a medical team may be a low level's medical service. So, we've designed a model with context awareness for more improved medical service which is based on ART(adaptive resonance theory) neural network. Our experiments show that a proposed healthcare system can provide improved medical service because it can recognize current context of patient more concretely.

When a sensor network is used for monitoring environments in large area or transmitting information in a u-City the number of nodes becomes very large. One of the problems with this application is the increased time delay, especially in reverse direction. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm that can minimize the latency of reverse packet in large sensor network. Analysis shows that the proposed scheme can reduce the latency by more than 90% when compared to Zigbee, while the energy consumption is maintained.

본 논문은 ESL(Electronic Shelf Labels, 전자가격표시기)과 LBS(Location Based Service, 위치 기반 서비스)를 융합하여 개발된 시스템으로 매장 고객에게 어플리케이션을 통해 대형마트에서 이벤트 정보를 제공 혹은 물건 위치를 쉽게 찾아 갈 수 있도록 하고, 관리자는 서버에서 물품의 정보를 관리하거나 각종 서비스를 제공하는 것을 편리하게 만들기 위해 진행되었다. ESL 태그를 아두이노와 LCD를 연결하여 구현하고 지그비(Zigbee)를 이용하여 서버와 통신한다. LBS를 구현하기위하여 ESL TAG에 BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy, 저전력블루루스)를 장착하고, 스마트폰은 ESL TAG에서 나오는 BLE 신호의 RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication)값을 이용해 어플리케이션에서 사용자의 위치를 측정할 수 있게 한다.
