무선 센서 네트워크는 분산처리 환경을 제공해준다. 센서 노드들은 계산 능력, 네트워크 대역폭, 전력 등이 제한된 환경에서 배치되고 스스로 네트워크를 구성하여 수집된 데이터들을 싱크노드로 전송한다. 이런 전형적인 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 네트워크 패킷들 간의 충돌이 발생하며 이로 인해 네트워크 수명이 단축된다. 클러스터링과 네트워크 내부처리는 네트워크 내부의 패킷을 줄여 문제점을 해결한다. 제한된 에너지를 가진 센서 노드가 가능한 오랫동안 동작하게 하는 것이 큰 이슈이기 때문에 많은 연구들이 에너지 절약에 중점을 두고 진행되고 있다. 하지만 본 논문에서는 프로세싱 타임라인에 기반을 둔 협력 처리 모델을 제안한다. 이 모델은 처리의 검증, 총 실행시간의 예측, 무선 센서 네트워크에서 분산 처리에 필요한 최적의 노드 개수의 결정 등을 포함한다. 제안된 모델의 정확성을 실험을 통해 나타내고, 사례 연구로 이 모델이 분산처리 어플리케이션에 사용가능함을 보인다.

유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크는 현재 다양한 분야로 활용되고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크를 그린 하우스에 적용하여 작물생장정보 및 환경데이터 수집 등 유용한 정보를 모니터링 할 수 있다. 하지만 센서노드의 한정된 에너지 자원으로 네트워크 확장을 통한 대규모 네트워크를 구성하여 운영하기에는 부적절하다. 본 논문에서는 상기 문제점을 해결하기 위해 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크에 무선 메쉬 네트워크 기술을 적용하여 시뮬레이션을 구현하였다. 도출된 결론을 통해 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크에 무선 메쉬 네트워크 기술을 적용했을 때 에너지 측면에서 효율성이 높아진 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents a simple sensor network consists of a group of sensors, RF components, and microprocessors, to perform a distributed sensing and information transmission using wireless links. In the proposed sensor network, though each sensor node has a limited capability and a simple signal-processing engine, a group of sensor nodes can perform a various tasks through coordinated information sharing and wireless communication in a large working area. Using the capability of self-localization and tracking, we show the sensor network can be applied to localization and navigation of mobile robot in which the robot has to be coordinated effectively to perform given task in real time.

The sensor network is a key component of the ubiquitous computing system which is expected to be widely utilized in logistics control, environment/disaster control, medical/health-care services, digital home and other applications. Nodes in the sensor network are small-sized and exposed to adverse environments. They are demanded to perform their missions with very limited power supply only. Also the sensor network is composed of much more nodes than the wireless ad hoc networks are. In case that some nodes consume up their power capacity, the network topology should change, and rerouting/retransmission is necessitated. Communication protocols studied for conventional wireless networks or ad hoc networks are not suited for the sensor network resultantly. Schemes should be devised to control the efficient usage of node power in the sensor network. This paper proposes a medium access protocol to enhance the efficiency of energy consumption in the sensor network node. Its performance is analyzed by simulation.

A sensor networkis composed of a large number of sensor nodes, which are densely deployed either inside the phenomenon or very close to it. One of the most important constraints on sensor nodes is the low power consumption requirement. Sensor nodes carry limited, generally irreplaceable, power sources. Therefore, while traditional networks aim to achieve high quality of service (QoS) provisions, sensor network protocols must focus primarily on power conservation. This paper presents the characteristics of energy consuming, average delay in 802.11 MAC, S-MAC that is specifically designed for wireless sensor networks. We analyze the energy consuming state in the 802.11 MAC in the simulation topology nodes, and measure average delay in 802.11 and S-MAC. Energy efficiency is the primary goal in this protocol design. 802.11 MAC is more efficient than S-MAC in the average delay, throughput. However S-MAC is an energy efficient protocol, a tradeoff between energy efficiency and delay.

A smartphone has very limited input methods regardless of its various functions. In this respect, it is one alternative that sensor motion recognition can make intuitive and various user interface. In this paper, we recognize user's motion using acceleration sensor, magnetic field sensor, and gyro sensor in smartphone. We try to reduce sensing error by gradient descent algorithm because in single sensor it is hard to obtain correct data. And we apply vector quantization by conversion of rotation displacement to spherical coordinate system for elevated recognition rate and recognition of small motion. After vector quantization process, we recognize motion using HMM(Hidden Markov Model).

Sensor network has been a hot research topic for the past decade and has moved its phase into using multimedia sensors such as cameras and microphones [1]. Combining many types of sensor data will lead to more accurate and precise information of the environment. However, the use of sensor network data is still limited to closed circumstances. Thus, in this paper, we propose a web-service based framework to deploy multimedia sensor networks. In order to unify different types of sensor data and also to support heterogeneous client applications, we used ROA (Resource Oriented Architecture [2]).

Sensor network is one of the strongest technologies for various applications including home automation, surveillance system and monitoring system. To ensure secure and robust network communication between sensor nodes, plain-text should be encrypted using encryption methods. However due to their limited computation power and storage, it is difficult to implement public key cryptography, including elliptic curve cryptography, RSA and pairing cryptography, on sensor networks. However, recent works have shown the possibility that public key cryptography could be made available in a sensor network environment by introducing the efficient multi-precision multiplication method. The previous method suggested a broad rule of multiplication to enhance performance. However, various features of sensor motes have not been considered. For optimized implementation, unique features should be handled. In this paper, we propose a fully optimized multiplication method depending on a different specification for sensor motes. The method improves performance by using more efficient instructions and general purpose registers.

In this paper, we propose a sink-location management and data-routing scheme to effectively support the mobile sink in solar-powered WSN. Battery-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have a limited lifetime due to their limited energy, but solar energy-based WSNs can be supplied with energy periodically and can operate forever. On the other hand, introduction of mobile sink in WSNs can solve some energy unbalance problem between sink-neighboring nodes and outer nodes which is one of the major challenges in WSNs. However, there is a problem that additional energy should be consumed to notify each sensor node of the location of the randomly moving mobile sink. In the proposed scheme, one of the nodes that harvests enough energy in each cluster are selected as the cluster head, and the location information of the mobile sink is shared only among the cluster heads, thereby reducing the location management overhead. In addition, the overhead for setting the routing path can be removed by transferring data in the opposite direction to the path where the sink-position information is transferred among the heads. Lastly, the access node is introduced to transmit data to the sink more reliably when the sink moves frequently.

유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크(Ubiquitous Sensor Networks)는 각종 센서에서 수집한 정보를 무선으로 수집할 수 있도록 구성한 네트워크를 말한다. 이러한 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크에서 센서 노드는 한정된 전송 거리의 극복과 최적의 경로 설정으로 안정적인 데이터 전송이 중요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 무선 메쉬 네트워크(Wireless Mesh Networks)를 이용한 센서 노드의 한정된 전송거리를 극복하고자 한다. 따라서 u-farm을 위한 환경감시 시스템은 무선 메쉬 네트워크의 MAP을 적용시켜 안정적인 데이터 전송이 이루어지도록 제안한다.
