A context-aware services platform supporting mobile agents consists of sensor nodes and a sensor coordinator. Sensor nodes collect environmental information and transmit the collected information to the sensor coordinator through wireless sensor networks. The sensor coordinator passes the information to the context-aware service module, and the mobile agent. The context-aware service module or the mobile agent performs services suitable for a user's situation based on the environmental information and a service actuation message is delivered to an actuation node through the sensor coordinator. In this paper, we present a context-aware services platform structure employed in our project, and describe context-aware services platform interfaces with a context-aware service module and mobile agents.

Smartphones are fast growing in the IT market and are the most influential devices in our daily life. Smartphones are being studied for their use in body sensor networks with excellent processing power and wireless communication technology. In this paper, we propose a coordinator design that provides data collection, classification, and display using based on Android-smartphone in multiple sensor nodes. The coordinator collects data of sensor nodes that measure biological patterns using wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth and NFC. The coordinator constructs a network using a multiple-level scheduling algorithm for efficient data collection at multiple sensor nodes. Also, to support different protocols between heterogeneous sensors, a data sheet recording wireless communication protocol information is used. The designed coordinator used Arduino to test the performance of multiple sensor node environments.

In this paper, we will presents the join procedure for efficient network performance in the ZigBee Sensor Network. In existing network, new devices join procedure is performed base on the participating in the already Coordinator and Router beacon information. However, beacon has insufficient information network. Thus, the concentration of traffic and inefficient use of resources, address the problem that occurs. To solve these problems, the Coordinator and router on the network, depending on their location and the ability to transfer a beacon. This algorithm is proposed in the paper, the transmission time by using the beacon, network configuration control of the network to improve performance.

Zigbee sensor network technology to build a ubiquitous environment has an important role. However, Zigbee technology, sensing environmental information within the local area to deliver the information because it was designed for the purpose of simple tasks, Attack by a variety of technologies that could potentially compromise the network is very high. To solve this problems, many defense mechanisms are presented in a lot of papers. But, to attack the existing Zigbee various response measures for the implementation of the functionality of the sensor nodes very heavy and high expensive problem. To resolve this problems, with superior computing power Zigbee network coordinator to install, based coordinator to intrusion detection systems is proposed. Coordinator-based IDS(Intrusion Detection System) of the Zigbee network is detected attack, and present a new approach to resolve, possible applications in various fields, so in real life Zigbee technology is expected to contribute to graft.

The security of the data exchanged between sensor nodes in IoT (Internet of Things) environment becomes increasing. In the conventional IEEE 802.15.4, the key for secure communication between the sensor node and the sensor node and the PAN Coordinator or the sensor node is assumed to be pre-shared in advance. Especially, there is another problem in that sensor node authentication is not considered during the association process. In this paper, we propose a security scheme that solves the problems of previously proposed protocols with the pre-shared key for all devices.

Recently, many researchers are interested in using join queries to correlate sensor readings stored in different regions. In the conventional algorithm, the preliminary join coordinator collects the synopsis from sensor nodes and determines a set of sensor readings that are required for processing the join query. Then, the base station collects only a part of sensor readings instead of whole readings and performs the final join process. However, it has a problem that incurs communication overhead for processing the preliminary join. In this paper, we propose a novel energy-efficient in-network join scheme that solves such a problem. The proposed scheme determines a preliminary join coordinator located to minimize the communication cost for the preliminary join. The coordinator prunes data that do not contribute to the join result and performs the compression of sensor readings in the early stage of the join processing. Therefore, the base station just collects a part of compressed sensor readings with the decompression table and determines the join result from them. In the result, the proposed scheme reduces communication costs for the preliminary join processing and prolongs the network lifetime.

This paper proposes a new network coordinator node design to select the most suitable wireless technology for WBANs by using fuzzy logic. Its goal is to select a wireless communication technology available considering the user/application requirements and network conditions. A WBAN is composed of a set of sensors placed in, on, or around human body, which monitors the human body functions and the surrounding environment. In an effort to send sensor readings from human body to medical center or a station, a WBAN needs to stay connected to a local or a wide area network by using various wireless communication technologies. Nowadays, several wireless networking technologies may be utilized in WLANs and/or WANs each of which is capable of sending WBAN sensor readings to the desired destination. Therefore, choosing the best serving wireless communications technology has critical importance to provide quality of service support and cost efficient connections for WBAN users. In this work, we have developed, modeled, and simulated some networking scenarios utilizing our fuzzy logic-based NCN by using OPNET and MATLAB. Besides, we have compared our proposed fuzzy logic based algorithm with widely used RSSI-based AP selection algorithm. The results obtained from the simulations show that the proposed approach provides appropriate outcomes for both the WBAN users and the overall network.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) often employ asynchronous MAC scheduling, which allows each sensor node to wake up independently without synchronizing with its neighbor nodes. However, this asynchronous scheduling may not deal with collisions due to hidden terminals effectively. Although most of the existing asynchronous protocols exploit a random back-off technique to resolve collisions, the random back-off cannot secure a receiver from potentially repetitive collisions and may lead to a substantial increase in the packet latency. In this paper, we propose a new collision resolution algorithm called Transient Coordinator (TC) for asynchronous WSN MAC protocols. TC resolves a collision on demand by ordering senders' transmissions when a receiver detects a collision. To coordinate the transmission sequence both the receiver and the collided senders perform handshaking to collect the information and to derive a collision-free transmission sequence, which enables each sender to exclusively access the channel. According to the simulation results, our scheme can improve the average per-node throughput by up to 19.4% while it also reduces unnecessary energy consumption due to repetitive collisions by as much as 91.1% compared to the conventional asynchronous MAC protocols. This demonstrates that TC is more efficient in terms of performance, resource utilization, and energy compared to the random back-off scheme in dealing with collisions for asynchronous WSN MAC scheduling.

Zigbee 센서 네트워크에서는 multihop 전송을 위하여 tree topology와 beacon-enabled 네트워크 구성을 갖는다. 이러한 multihop beaconing 네트워크의 목적은 routing 노드들에게 Sleep할 기회를 주어 파워의 소모를 줄이고자 하는 데 있다. 파워의 소모를 줄이고 beacon 전송시의 충돌을 방지하기 위하여 beacon 전송 스케줄링이 필요한데 본 논문은 multihop을 지원하고 에너지 효율에 효과적인 beacon 전송 스케줄링 알고리즘과 이를 바탕으로 에너지 효율적인 라우팅 기법을 제안한다. 본 제안은 Zigbee coordinator의 beacon interval(BI)이 결정되면 네트워크 내의 beacon을 전송하는 모든 노드들은 Zigbee coordinator의 BI를 알고 모든 노드의 superframe duration(SD)은 동일하다고 가정한다. 이러한 가정하에서 beacon을 전송하는 노드들이 Zigbee coordinator의 BI 구간 중 항상 정해진 시간에 자신의 beacon을 전송한다면 beacon의 충돌을 막을 수 있음을 보여 준다. 또한 노드들이 서로의 beacon 전송 시간을 알 수 있기 때문에 목적지 노드의 beacon을 tracking하지 않고도 목적지 노드가 active 되는 시점에 패킷을 전송하면 에너지 측면에서 좀 더 효율적인 라우팅 기반을 제공한다는 것을 보여 준다.
