In this paper, we present a distributed algorithm for detecting dynamic event regions in wireless sensor network with the consideration on energy saving. Our model is that the sensing field is monitored by a large number of randomly distributed sensors with low-power battery and limited functionality, and that the event region is dynamic with motion or changing the shape. At any time that the event happens, we need some sensors awake to detect it and to wake up its k-hop neighbors to detect further events. Scheduling for the network to save the total power-cost or to maximize the monitoring time has been studied extensively. Our scheme is that some predetermined sensors, called critical sensors are awake all the time and when the event is detected by a critical sensor the sensor broadcasts to the neighbors to check their sensing area. Then the neighbors check their area and decide whether they wake up or remain in sleeping mode with certain criteria. Our algorithm uses only 2 bit of information in communication between sensors, thus the total communication cost is low, and the speed of detecting all event region is high. We adapt two kinds of measure for the wake-up decision. With suitable threshold values, our algorithm can be applied for many applications and for the trade-off between energy saving and the efficiency of event detection.

Fiber optic distributed temperature sensing and thermal line sensor are applied in an observation borehole and a loom deep borehole heat exchanger. For the case of permanently installed system fiber optic DTS is very useful. By comparing with TLS, fiber optic DTS shows good accuracy and reliability. Ground water flow can give influences at heat exchange rate of the heat pump system. According to the hydraulic characteristics and temperature-depth profile, we consider that temperature-depth profile do not seem to be dependent on ground water flow. A permanent installation of fiber optic cable is expected as a reliable temperature measurement technique in a borehole heat exchanger system.

In this paper, we investigate the fundamental performance limits of the cooperative sensing using energy detection by considering the unlimited number of sensing nodes. Although a lot of cognitive radio research so far proposed various uses of energy detection because of its simplicity, the performance limits of energy detection have not been studied when a large number of sensing nodes exist. First, we show that when the sensing nodes see the independent and identically distributed channel conditions, then as the number of sensing nodes N goes to infinity, the OR rule of hard decision achieves zero of false alarm Pf for any given target probability of detection $\bar{P_d}$ irrespective of the non-zero received primary user signal to noise ratio ${\gamma}$. Second, we show that under the same condition, when the AND rule of hard decision is used, there exists a lower bound of $P_f$. Interestingly, however, for given $\bar{P_d}$, $P_f$ goes to 1 as N goes to infinity. Third, we show that when the soft decision is used, there exists a way of achieving 100% utilization of secondary user, i.e., the sensing time overhead ratio goes to zero so does $P_f$.We verify our analyses by performing extensive simulations of the proposed unlimited cooperative sensing. Finally, we suggest a way of incorporating the unlimited cooperative sensing into a practical cellular system such as long term evolutionadvanced by exploiting the existing frame structure of absolute blank subframe to implement the in-band sensing.

This paper proposes a distributed borrowing addressing (DIBA) scheme to solve problems of failure in address assignments resulting from limited tree depth and width when the distributed address assignment mechanism is used in a ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 wireless sensor network. DIBA is a method of borrowing addresses from neighbor nodes for newly entering nodes and assigning the borrowed addresses. Its network or sensing coverage can increase with almost the same overhead as the existing method. DIBA is a simple and lightweight means of addressing and routing, making it suitable for wireless sensor networks. Simulations showed that DIBA is a distributed addressing scheme with consistently excellent performance.

Scour is one of the leading causes of overwater bridge failures worldwide. While monitoring systems have already been implemented or are still being developed, they suffer from limitations such as high costs, inaccuracies, and low reliability, among others. Also, most sensors only measure scour depth at one location and near the pier. Thus, the objective is to design a simple, low cost, scour hole topography monitoring system that could better characterize the entire depth, shape, and size of bridge scour holes. The design is based on burying a robust, waterproofed, piezoelectric sensor strip in the streambed. When scour erodes sediments to expose the sensor, flowing water excites it to cause the generation of time-varying voltage signals. An algorithm then takes the time-domain data and maps it to the frequency-domain for identifying the sensor's resonant frequency, which is used for calculating the exposed sensor length or scour depth. Here, three different sets of tests were conducted to validate this new technique. First, a single sensor was tested in ambient air, and its exposed length was varied. Upon verifying the sensing concept, a waterproofed prototype was buried in soil and tested in a tank filled with water. Sensor performance was characterized as soil was manually eroded away, which simulated various scour depths. The results confirmed that sensor resonant frequencies decreased with increasing scour depths. Finally, a network of 11 sensors was configured to form a distributed monitoring system in the lab. Their exposed lengths were adjusted to simulate scour hole formation and evolution. Results showed promise that the proposed sensing system could be scaled up and used for bridge scour topography monitoring.

Using decode-and-forward relaying in the cognitive radio networks, the spectrum efficiency can improve furthermore. The optimization algorithm of the spectrum sensing estimation time is presented for the cognitive relay networks in this paper. The longer sensing time will bring two aspects of the consequences. On the one hand, the channel parameters are estimated more accurate so as to reduce the interferences to the authorized users and to improve the throughput of the cognitive users. On the other hand, it shortens the transmission time so as to decease the system throughput. In this time, it exists an optimal sensing time to maximize the throughput. The channel state information of the sub-bands is considered as the exponentially distributed, so a stochastic programming method is proposed to optimize the sensing time for the cognitive relay networks. The computer simulation results using the Matlab software show that the algorithm is effective, which has a certain engineering application value.

스펙트럼 검출은 인지 무선 시스템(Cognitive Radios) 구현을 위한 핵심 기술들 중의 하나이다. 스펙트럼 검출에서 문제시되는 점들 중에 하나는 페이딩(Fading) 및 쉐도윙(Shadowing) 등으로 인해서 스펙트럼 검출 성능이 저하된다는 것이다. 이 문제점을 해결하기 위해 제안된 방법 중 하나가 협력 스펙트럼 검출 방법이다. 이 방법을 통해 비협력 스펙트럼 검출 방식의 성능을 개선할 수 있지만, 여전히 큰 장애물과 같은 간섭 요인에 의해 스펙트럼 성능이 영향을 받는다는 단점이 있다. 특히, 기존의 대부분의 연구에서는 고정된 1차 사용자(Primary User, PU)를 고려하고 있지만 향후 유비쿼터스(Ubiquitous) 환경에서는 이동성을 가지는 1차 사용자가 존재하는 시스템을 고려해야 한다. 이러한 환경에서 기존의 협력 스펙트럼 검출 방식은 정확성이 낮은 검출 성능을 보이고 고려하지 않아도 될 2차 사용자(Cognitive User, CR user)의 국부 센싱값을 전송함으로써 많은 에너지를 소비하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 무선 인지 시스템에서의 이동성을 가지는 1차 사용자의 위치를 추정하고 이를 기반으로 간섭 영향을 받는 2차 사용자를 검출한다. 또한 검출된 간섭영향을 받는 2차 사용자의 센싱 정보를 융합 결정할 때 배제함으로써 스펙트럼 검출의 정확성을 높이는 방법을 제안하다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘이 기존 알고리즘 보다 정확한 스펙트럼 검출을 보인다.

분포형 음향 센싱(distributed acoustic sensing, DAS)은 광섬유 케이블을 수신기로 활용하는 탐사기술로서, 석유탐사 및 지진분야에서 모니터링 목적으로 활발히 적용되고 있다. 최근에는 지하매질의 물성정보를 도출하기 위해 분포형 음향 센싱 자료를 활용한 전파형역산 연구가 수행되고 있다. 분포형 음향 센싱은 광섬유 케이블 상의 두 점 간의 위상 차이에 의한 변형률을 측정하기 때문에, 기존 전파형역산 알고리즘에 직접 활용하기 어렵다. 분포형 음향 센싱 자료를 전파형역산에 활용하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 평면파 가정에서의 변형률과 수평입자속도의 관계식을 이용한 평면파 전파형역산 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 수치실험을 통해 평면파 가정에서의 변형률과 입자속도 간의 관계식이 성립함을 확인하였다. 다양한 탐사환경에서 분포형 음향 센싱 자료에 대한 전파형역산의 적용 가능성을 확인하기 위해, 육상 및 해저면 탄성파 탐사 환경을 모사한 4층 및 수정된 Marmousi-2 속도모델을 이용하였다. 제안된 전파형역산을 통해 육상 및 해저면 탄성파 탐사 환경하에서 P파 및 S파 속도구조를 정확히 도출할 수 있었다.
