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.

In this paper, we designed and implemented home gateway system for remote control of home appliances and devices using cellular phone. The system communicate home devices through Zigbee protocol and home server based on Linux operating system communicate cellular phone through external networks. We expect that the system apply various fields as home automations, home network, smart offices, and ubiquious environments.

In ZigBee network, using energy efficiently is necessary because ZigBee node works by battery. To use energy efficiently, it is one of the way to reduce unnecessary network traffic. In this paper, it presents efficient shortcut routing algorithm using depth of destination node in ZigBee network. In traditional tree routing, each node transfers data only to its own parent or child node, which is inefficient way. Efficient shortcut routing algorithm is also based on tree routing. However, we suggests the algorithm with using neighbor table and depth of destination that is able to transfer data to other neighbor node, not only to parent or child node. It minimizes coordinator bottleneck state and unnecessary intermediate routing path which happens in traditional tree routing.

We try to build the base for implementation of smart water treatment plant through identifying status by data acquisition such as temperature, humidity, flow, level, pump status and CCTV by using USN terminal such as Zigbee, Wi-Fi, UHF at the center of the flowmeter calibration center in K-water institute. The data obtained from various sensors is transmitted to data processing device through different types of USN network, the processed data is implemented to monitor by smart phone and we try to perform low cost and high efficient USN-based pilot project by implementing remote monitoring system using network performance analysis and mobile devices.

현재 센서 네트워크 시스템을 이용한 다양한 지능형 응용들에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 센서 네트워크는 환경정보를 수집하기 위해 많이 활용된다. 최근 더욱 상세한 환경 모니터링이나 고품질 데이터에 대한 요구로 인해 멀티미디어 데이터의 요구가 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Zigbee 기반 센서 네트워크의 낮은 대역폭의 한계를 극복하고, 실시간 멀티미디어 데이터 전송을 위한 라우팅 기법에 대한 연구를 수행한다. 기존에 제안된 멀티미디어 데이터 전송 기법의 경우 비효율적인 다중경로 설정단계로 인해 경로설정 시간의 지연이 발생하고, Zigbee 의 대역폭 한계로 인해 낮은 데이터 전송속도를 보인다. 본 논문은 기존 기법의 대역폭 문제를 해결하는 블루투스와 Zigbee 하이브리드 라우팅 구조를 제안한다. 또한 경로설정 시간 지연 문제를 해결하는 경쟁기반 비-중첩 다중 경로 설정 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법의 우수성을 비교평가하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 그 결과 약 78% 지연시간이 감소되었으며, 통신 속도가 약 6.9 배 증가하였다.

Nowadays, wireless communication has a great advantage in technology. We use wireless devices almost in all expected life such as: entertainment, working and recently in the healthcare area, where Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) become a hot topic for researchers and system designers. Recent work on WBANs focus on related issues to communication protocol, especially ZigBee network is fine tuned to meet particular requirements in healthcare area. For example, some papers present real-time patient monitoring via ZigBee communication given the short distance between body sensors and remote devices, while the other work solve the limited coverage problem of Zigbee by designing mechanisms to relay Zigbee data to other types of wire or wireless infrastructure. However, very few of them investigate the scenarios of ZigBee coexisting or integrated with other networks. In this paper, we present the real-time data transmission from ZigBee end devices to Wide Area Network (WAN), Worldwide interoperation for microwave access network (WiMAX) and Long Term Evolution network (LTE). We provide in detail the ZigBee gateway components. Our simulation is conducted by OPNET, we visualize many topology network scenarios in ZigBee hybrid system. The results in simulation show that ZigBee end devices can successfully transmit data in real-time to other network end devices.

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.

In this paper, we propose an alternative method of communication to improve the reliability of in-vehicle networks by jointly using wireless communication networks. Wired Communication networks have been used in vehicles for the monitoring and the control of vehicle motion, however, the disconnection of wires or hardware fault of networks may cause a critical problem in vehicles. If the network manager detects a disconnection or faults in wired in-vehicle network like the Controller Area Network(CAN), it can redirect the communication path from the wired to the wireless communication like the Zigbee network. To show the validity and the effectiveness of the proposed in-vehicle network architecture, we implement the Electronic Stability Control(ESC) system as ECU-In-the-Loop Simulation(EILS) and verify that the control performance can be kept well even if some hardware faults like disconnection of wires occur.

In this paper we propose design of a multi-protocol gateway middleware based on USN. The proposed multi-protocol gateway middleware defined the transmit messages format, and were used the USN module interface protocol for connect to external application MCU using the UART. In this case, the gateway was checks the communication state of Zigbee module with settings information, and setting Zigbee serial PDU format. The experimental results of the proposed multi-protocol gateway middleware were proved the efficiency of integrate protocol gateway to use the multi-protocol gateway than gateway to using the repeater through the power control and communications a controlled experiment.
