Because sensor nodes operate with the limited power based on battery which cannot be easily replaced, energy efficiency is a fundamental issue pervading the design of communication protocols developed for wireless sensor networks. In wireless networks, energy efficient MAC protocols can usually be described as being either a contention-based protocol or a schedule-based protocol. It is suitable to use combination of both contention-based protocol and schedule-based protocol, because the strengths and weaknesses of these protocols are contrary to each other. In this paper, in order to minimize energy consumption of sensor nodes and maximize network lifetime, we propose a new MAC protocol called "Tiered-MAC" The Tiered-MAC uses a schedule-based TDMA inside maximum transmission range of sink node and a contention-based CSMA otherwise. Therefore, by efficiently managing the congested traffic area, the Tiered-MAC reduces the unnecessary energy consumption. Based on the ns-2 simulation result, we prove that the Tiered-MAC improves the energy-efficiency of sensor network nodes.

Currently, CMMB(China Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting) and the conventional analog TV broadcasting have transmitted by using UHF(Ultra High Frequency : 474MHz~754MHz) band. Normally, the transmission power of the digital TV broadcasting is lower than the conventional analog TV broadcasting to protect the reception quality of the conventional analog TV broadcasting. The reception sensitivity of CMMB receiver has severely deteriorated due to adjacent the conventional analog TV broadcasting signals which called ACI (Adjacent Channel Interference). To improve the reception sensitivity of a CMMB receiver on ACI environment, this paper proposed a simple method which is tuning a cut off frequency of LPF (Low Pass Filter). From the experiment, the reception sensitivity of CMMB receiver was improved as 11.3dB.

This paper suggests detection system for the movement of patient on bed based on IEEE802.15.4 by using pressure pad and guard sensor. The system is designed to detect ordinary activities of patients on bed as well as patients' falling from the bed while sleeping at night. The node that is installed at bed sends data to gather when the pressure pad and sensor of guard detect patients' activities and falling. These data sent to gather are transmitted to monitor at help desk by TCP/IP communication. To remove unnecessary data that occurred due to switch chattering during tossing and turning, timer of MCU is used. Also, Communication module can change transmission power to apply this system to various environments of hospital room. Therefore, the nurse can take care of patients on bed in real time with data about patients' conditions.

In this paper, since we currently using surveillance system of analog type bring about waste of resource and efficiency deterioration problems, we describe new solution that design and implementation to the digital surveillance system of new type applying compression techniques and encoding techniques of image data using MPEG-2 international standard. Also, we proposed fast motion estimation algorithm requires much less than the convectional digital surveillance camera system. In this paper a fast motion estimation algorithm is proposed the MPEG-2 video encoding. This algorithm is based on a hybrid use of the block matching technique and gradient technique. Also, we describe a method of moving object extraction directly using MPEG-2 video data. Since proposed method is very simple and requires much less computational power than the conventional object detection methods. In this paper we don't use specific H/W and this system is possible only software encoding, decoding and transmission real-time for image data.

Since the ocean accounts for 70.8 percent of the earth's surface, the success of IoT technology in the marine industry is to collect information from devices placed in a wider range. LPWA is a feature with a wide range of communication and is very suitable for deployment in the ocean. In this paper, the real-sea performance distance experiment was carried out based on Private LoRa, a key technology for executing the electronic phrase real-name system. A private LoRa module based on sx1276 was developed, and Gateway was developed to transfer data received by private LoRa to the server using SKT Cat. M1. After installing gateways at 599 meters above sea level and experimenting with data transmission and reception at 25 km, 40 km and 60 km, we were able to see that the communication success rate was obtained to be 96.1%. 97.1% and 96.2% respectively.

In this paper, we focus on the potential of dual polarized antennas in mobile system. thus, this paper designs exact dual polarized channel with Spatial Channel Model (SCM) and investigates the performance for certain environment. Using proposed the channel model; we know estimates of the channel capacity as a function of cross polarization discrimination (XPD) and spatial fading correlation. It is important that the MIMO channel matrix consists of Kronecker product dividable spatial and polarized channel. Through the channel characteristics, we propose an algorithm for the adaptation of transmit antenna configuration to time varying propagation environments. The optimal active transmit antenna subset is determined with equal power allocated to the active transmit antennas, assuming no feedback information on types of the selected antennas. We first consider a heuristic decision strategy in which the optimal active transmit antenna subset and its system capacity are determined such that the transmission data rate is maximized among all possible types. This paper then proposes singular values decision procedure consisting of Kronecker product with spatial and polarize channel. This method of singular value decision, which the first channel environments is determined using singular values of spatial channel part which is made of environment parameters and distance between antennas. level of correlation. Then we will select antenna which have various polarization type. After spatial channel structure is decided, we contact polarization types which have considerable cases It is note that the proposed algorithms and analysis of dual polarized channel using SCM (Spatial Channel Model) optimize channel capacity and reduce the number of transmit antenna selection compare to heuristic method which has considerable 100 cases.

We consider the device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying multi-cell interference system, in which the cellular downlink (DL) resource is reused by K cells and two D2D transmission links within each cell. In this paper, it has been shown that the downlink intra-cell and inter-cell interference can be effectively handled by interference alignment (IA) technique, as long as the simultaneous D2D links are properly selected or power-controlled so that they may not incur interference to the base stations in the same and neighbor cells. In particular, we provides the IA technique that can achieve the theoretically maximum possible degree of freedom (DOF), demonstrating that a total of (K+1)M degrees of freedom (DOFs) can be achieved for K-cell interference system with two underlaying D2D links, where base stations, cellular UE's, and D2D UE's all have M transmit and receive antennas.
