The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper and written below the author information. Use th In Wide-area Wireless Sensor Networks, network lifetime is short due to energy consumption due to transmission distance. To improve this, we divide the sensor field into layers and reduce transmission distance through multi-hop transmission. However, there is a problem in that the transmission rate drops because there is no Cluster Head in the layer, or the transmission distance increases due to the layer, and energy is wasted. There are DL-LEACH and EDL-LEACH as Protocols to improve this. DL-LEACH uses either single-hop transmission or multi-hop transmission depending on the situation. As a result, the transmission distance is optimized, thereby reducing energy consumption. In case of EDL-LEACH, it is proposed to improve the data rate in DL-LEACH. It is the same as DL-LEACH, but the Cluster Head is mandatory for all layers to improve the transmission rate. Although there is no Cluster Head for each layer, the transmission rate is improved, but the network life is shortened. In this paper, we try to improve the network lifetime while maintaining the EDL-LEACH transmission rate. The shortened network lifetime is due to Cluster Head overload near the base station. To improve this, the Cluster Head distribution method is improved and the network lifetime is improved.

The leaching behavior of uranium from unirradiated CANDU UO$_2$ fuel pellet in the spent fuel wet storage and disposal conditions has been investigated. A modified IAEA leach test method was used, and then the extent of leaching was monitored by analysis for uranium in the leachant. The leach test has been performed in various leachants(demineralized water and boric acid solution at pH=6, synthetic granite groundwater) for a long-term period of 5.4 years, and the effect of temperature on the leach rate of uranium has been analyzed. The leach rates of uranium at $25^{\circ}C$ were dependent on the leachants. Over initial 100 days of leach periods, the leach rate in groundwater was the highest in three leachants and no significant differences of leach rates ore observed in the demineralized oater and boric acid solution. But these leach rates in three leachants around 2,000 days at $25^{\circ}C$ appeared to be reached the steady rates in the range of 1~5$\times$10$^{-8}$ g/$\textrm{cm}^2$ day. The leach rate of uranium in groundwater shooed to be independent of the temperature, but those in both demineralized water and boric acid solution increased with temperature. These results show that the leaching behavior of uranium from UO$_2$ fuel in both the demineralized water ann boric acid may be controlled tv the surface oxidative.dissolution reaction of UO$_2$ and the leach rate of uranium in groundwater at room temperature could mainly be controlled by the complex reaction of dissolved uranyl ions with carbonate ions and no variation of leach rate of UO$_2$ in groundwater with temperature may be due to the local deposition of passivating uranyl phases on the surface.

본 연구에서는 센서 네트워크용 병렬 시뮬레이터인 PASENS(Parallel SEnsor Network Simulator)를 이용하여 센서 네트워크에 이용되는 라우팅 알고리즘 중에서 계층적 라우팅 프로토콜의 대표적인 방식인 LEACH(Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy)와 그의 변형인 TL-LEACH(Two Level Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy), M-LEACH(Multihop Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy), 그리고 LEACH-C(LEACH-Centralized)의 전력 소모량과 데이터의 수신율을 비교하고 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션을 이용한 분석 결과에 따르면, M-LEACH 라우팅 프로토콜의 경우에는 여러 센서 노드들을 통하여 데이터가 전달되기 때문에 일정한 크기 이상의 넓은 공간에서 높은 수신율을 보였으며, LEACH-C 라우팅 프로토콜은 싱크 노드(서버)가 전체 센서 노드의 잔여 에너지와 위치를 고려하여 클러스터 헤드를 결정하기 때문에 좁은 공간에서 보다 오랜 수명을 필요로 하는 센서 네트워크를 구축하는데 가장 효율적이라는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

본 논문은 LEACH-Mobile를 사용하여 병원에서 환자들의 위치와 센서 데이터의 지속적인 수집을 시뮬레이션 하고자 한다. LEACH-Mobile(: Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy)은 기존의 LEACH프로토콜에서 mobile노드를 추가하여 이동성을 향상시킨 프로토콜이다. LEACH-Mobile은 LEACH에서 이동성이 개선되었지만, 기존 LEACH보다 소모되는 에너지의 양이 더 많다. 여기서 LEACH-Mobile을 사용하는 이유는 병원의 모니터링시스템은 대체적으로 cctv나 간호사들의 주기적인 확인으로 이루어진다. 하지만 대부분의 병원은 환자수에 비해 간호사의 수가 적다. 그렇기에 간호사가 보지 못한 사이에, cctv의 사각에서 일어나는 사고에 환자가 다칠 가능성이 있다. 그래서 위치와 센서 데이터를 5개의 상황으로 지속적으로 수집하는 시뮬레이션을 하였고, 그 결과는 병원에서의 환자들의 동선 관리를 보다 효율적으로 하였다.

In this paper, propose an algorithm to improve network lifetime by equally consuming energy of LEACH - Mobile sensor nodes. LEACH is one of energy efficient protocols. However, we did not consider the mobility of nodes. Therefore, the transmission reception success rate of the moving data is reduced. LEACH-Mobile is a protocol that has improved the drawbacks of these LEACH. However, since LEACH-Mobile has a larger number of data packets and consumes more energy than LEACH, it has a disadvantage that the lifetime of the network is short. In order to improvement these disadvantage, Based on the average of the remaining energy of the node, cluster heads are elected with a number of nodes whose energies are larger than the average of the remaining energy from the member nodes. After that, by trying to increase the lifetime of the network by equalizing the remaining energy. In to confirm whether improve the lifetime of the network, In this paper, the number of nodes and the position of all nodes are varied for each specific round, the rest energy is equalized, and the algorithm which uniformly selected the cluster head is compared with LEACH.

We develop a low complexity cooperative diversity protocol for low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) based wireless sensor networks. A cross layer approach is used to obtain spatial diversity in the physical layer. In this paper, a simple modification in clustering algorithm of the LEACH protocol is proposed to exploit virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) based user cooperation. In lieu of selecting a single cluster-head at network layer, we proposed M cluster-heads in each cluster to obtain a diversity order of M in long distance communication. Due to the broadcast nature of wireless transmission, cluster-heads are able to receive data from sensor nodes at the same time. This fact ensures the synchronization required to implement a virtual MIMO based space time block code (STBC) in cluster-head to sink node transmission. An analytical method to evaluate the energy consumption based on BER curve is presented. Analysis and simulation results show that proposed cooperative LEACH protocol can save a huge amount of energy over LEACH protocol with same data rate, bit error rate, delay and bandwidth requirements. Moreover, this proposal can achieve higher order diversity with improved spectral efficiency compared to other virtual MIMO based protocols.

A simple modification of well known Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol is proposed to exploit cooperative diversity. Instead of selecting a single cluster-head, we propose M cluster-heads in each cluster to obtain a diversity of order M. The cluster-heads gather data from all the sensor nodes within the cluster using same technique as LEACH. Cluster-heads transmit gathered data cooperatively towards the destination or higher order cluster-head. We propose a code combining based cooperative diversity protocol which is similar to coded cooperation that maximizes the performance of the proposed cooperative LEACH protocol. The implementation of the proposed cooperative strategy is analyzed. We develop the upper bounds on bit error rate (BER) and frame error rate (FER) for our proposal. Space time block codes (STBC) are also a suitable candidate for our proposal. In this paper, we argue that the STBC performs worse than the code combining cooperation.

모의지하수중에서 가압경수로형 사용후핵연료로부터 세슘의 침출률에 미치는 공학적 방벽 영향을 규명하기 위하여 지난 약 6년간 벤토나이트 또는 금속시편등의 존재여부에 따라 침출시험을 수행하였다. 침출률은 시간이 경과함에 따라 지수함수적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 적정시간이 경과한 다음부터는 일정한 값에 수렴하는 경향을 나타내었다. 벤토나이트 또는 금속시편이 있을 경우 세슘의 누적누출분률은 선형적으로 증가하였으나, 이들이 없는 경우의 누적분률은 급격히 증가한 다음 서서히 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이 누적분률에서 갭에 존재하는 세슘의 재고량을 제한 값은 공학적 방벽이 존재하는 경우의 누적분률에 거의 근접하였다. 이러한 결과들은 사용후핵연료 중 세슘의 초기누출분률은 갭 중 세슘의 재고량에 의존하지만, 세슘의 장기침출률은 공학적 방벽에 거의 영향을 받지 않음을 암시해 주고 있다. 그러나 세슘의 초기침출률은 공학적 방벽의 지연효과로 감소될 수 있을 것이다. 그리고 처분장에서 사용후핵연료 중 세슘의 장기침출률은 $2\times10^{-2}\;g/m^2-day$를 넘지않는 범위 내에서 일정한 값을 가질 것이다.

통상적인 센서 네트워크는 센서노드로부터 고정된 정보를 수집하는 일괄적인 방식을 사용한다. 하지만 이러한 방식은 헬스케어 환경에서 주요 센싱대상인 사람의 상태와 위치변화, 주변 환경의 변화에 능동적으로 대처하기 어렵다. 헬스케어 환경을 지원하기 위해서는 사람의 상태와 주변상황의 변화에 따른 특정정보를 제공해주어야 한다. 또한 사람의 이동에 따른 네트워크 타입의 변화에 대처하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 다중 에이전트 미들웨어인 Agilla 모델과 주변노드간의 클러스터를 구성함으로써 네트워크의 효율성을 보장하는 LEACH 프로토콜에 대해 분석한다. 이 분석 결과를 기반으로 기존 LEACH 프로토콜의 취약점인 노드 이동성을 보장하는 LEACH_Mobile 프로토콜을 제안한다. 또한 노드의 동적 기능변경을 지원하는 Mobility Agent Middleware와 LEACH_Mobile 라우팅 모듈을 구성요소로 이동노드의 동적 기능변경을 지원하는 Mobility Agent 모듈을 설계한다. 그리고 LEACH_Mobile 프로토콜의 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 네트워크의 데이터 전송 성공률에 대한 성능 향상을 보여준다.

Sensor Networks (WSNs) can be defined as a self-configured and infrastructure-less wireless networks to monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants and to cooperatively pass their data through the network to a main location or base-station where the data can be observed and analyzed. Typically a wireless sensor network contains hundreds of thousands of sensor nodes. The sensor nodes can communicate among themselves using radio signals. A wireless sensor node is equipped with sensing and computing devices, radio transceivers and power components. The individual nodes in a wireless sensor network (WSN) are inherently resource constrained: they have limited processing speed, storage capacity, communication bandwidth and limited-battery power. At present time, most of the research on WSNs has concentrated on the design of energy- and computationally efficient algorithms and protocols In order to extend the network life-time, in this paper we are looking into a routing protocol, especially LEACH and LEACH-related protocol. LEACH protocol is a representative routing protocol and improves overall network energy efficiency by allowing all nodes to be selected to the cluster head evenly once in a periodic manner. In LEACH, in case of movement of sensor nodes, there is a problem that the data transmission success rate decreases. In order to overcome LEACH's nodes movements, LEACH-Mobile protocol had proposed. But energy consumption increased because it consumes more energy to recognize which nodes moves and re-transfer data. In this paper we propose the new routing protocol considering nodes' mobility. In order to simulate the proposed protocol, we make a scenario, nodes' movements randomly and compared with the LEACH-Mobile protocol.
