In the evolution from wireless sensor networks(WSNs) to ubiquitous sensor networks(USNs), technologies that can support intensive data-traffic loads, large number of users, improved interoperability, and extreme longevity are required. Therefore, efficient communication time coordination control and low power consumption becomes one of the most important design goals for USN MAC protocols. So far several time division multiplexed (TDM) MAC protocols have been proposed. However, since the pros and cons of existing protocols are not easy to analyze, it becomes a challenging task to design improved TOM MAC protocols. Based on this objective, this paper provides a novel protocol analysis along with a message complexity derivation and comparison of the existing TDM MAC protocols.

Wireless Sensor Networks are the technology, in which various applications such as surveillance and information gathering are possible in the uncontrollable area of human. And numerous studies are being processed for the application of ubiquitous network environment. One of major issues in sensor network is the research for prolonging the lifetime of nodes through the use of various algorithms, suggested in the mac and routing layer. In this paper, aiming at reducing energy waste, caused by redundant transmission and receipt message, we propose the mac protocol using active signal and analysis performance through simulation.

Network coding is one of the most promising techniques to increase the reliability and reduce the energy consumption for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, most of the previous works mainly focus on the network coding for multicast or unicast in WSNs, in spite of the fact that the converge-cast is the most common communication style in WSNs. In this paper, we investigate, for the first time as far as we know, the feasibility of acquiring network coding benefits in converge-cast, and we present that with the ubiquitous convergent structures self-organized during converge-casting in the network, the reliability benefits can be obtained by applying linear network coding. We theoretically derive the network coding benefits obtained in a general convergent structure, and simulations are conducted to validate our theoretical analysis. The results reveal that the network coding can improve the network reliability considerably, and hence reduce number of retransmissions and improve energy-efficiency.

As sensor network is drawing more attention than ever before due to the development of sensors and the technology of communications, various routing-algorithms, to realize a sensor node with low-power and a miniature size, is being introduced in the field. This paper is to discuss a way to find an optimal path by changing a routing- algorithm adequately according to environmental changes. This is also to suggest an appropriate sensor network model in the ubiquitous aera. The result from the experiment that we conducted showed us that as we suggested, an algorithm, changing and adapting itself to each different environment, operated more stably and transmitted data more effectively than the current fixed one. And it was also confirmed that this type of algorithm can provide low-power management, which is very important in sensor network.

For real-time social networking service, mobile interaction in a usable-unified-ubiquitous (U3) web service was studied. Both as a convenient mobile HCI for real-time social networks and as indexing keys to metadata information in ubiquitous web service, the multi-lingual single-character domain names (e.g. 김.net, 이.net, 가.net, ㄱ.net, ㄴ.net, ㅎ.net, ㅏ.net, ㅔ.net, ㄱ.com, ㅎ.com) are convenient mobile interfaces when searching for social information and registering information. We introduce the sketched design goals and experience of mobile interaction in Korea, Japan and China, with the implementation of real-time social networking service as an example of U3 Web service. We also introduce the possibility of extending the application to the metadata directory service in IP-USN (IP-based Ubiquitous Sensor Network) for a unified information management in the service of social networking and sensor networking.

The development of wireless sensor networks (WSN) can be motivated by several types of applications. However, these applications demand an energy-efficient WSN that can prolong the network lifetime and can provide high throughput, low latency and delay. Designing wireless sensor networks with the capability of prolonging network lifetime catch the attention of many researchers in wireless system and network field. Contrasts with Mobile Ad Hoc Network system, Wireless Sensor Networks designs focused more on survivability of each node in the network instead of maximizing data throughput or minimizing end-to-end delay. In this paper, we will study part of data link layer in Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, called medium access control (MAC) layer. Since the MAC development of energy aware MAC Protocol for wireless sensor layer controls the physical radio part, it has a large impact on the overall energy consumption and the lifetime of a node. This paper proposes a analytical approach that tries to reduce idle energy consumption, and shows the increasement of network end-to-end arrival rate due to efficiency in energy consumption from time slot management.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅을 가능하게 해주는 기반기술의 하나인 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크(Ubiquitous Sensor Networks)란, 주변 사물과 환경을 인식하고 네트워크를 통해 실시간 정보를 구축, 활용토록 하는 초소형, 저전력 센서들로 구성된 무선 통신망이라 할 수 있다. 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크에서의 MAC 프로토콜은 그 특성상 기존의 MAC 프로토콜과는 달리 에너지 사용량을 최소화하여 네트워크 수명을 오랫동안 유지하도록 하는 것이 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크의 수명의 최대화를 고려한 DT (Dynmic-Threshold) MAC프로토콜을 제안한다. DTMAC프로토콜은 각 노드의 버퍼에 임계값을 적용하여 전송 주기를 지연시켜 에너지 절감성을 극대화하게 되며 멀티 홉 환경에서 에너지 절감성의 효과론 더욱 높이기 위해 각 노드의 버퍼에 싱크와의 홉 수에 따른 차등적 임계값을 적용하며, 또한 이로 인해 야기되는 데이터 전송지연 문제를 해결키 위하여 긴급 데이터에 대한 빠른 전송을 보장하는 알고리즘을 포함한다.

본 논문에서는 대규모의 센서 네트워크(Large Scale Sensor Networks)에서 가상 싱크 로테이션(Virtual Sink Rotation) 이라 불리는 새로운 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안 한다. VSR은 많은 수의 소스(source) 와 많은 수의 이동성을 가지는 싱크(sink)를 효율적으로 지원한다. VSR의 주 아이디어는 두 가지로 나뉘는데, 첫 번째는 싱크 이동으로 인한 위치 업데이트를 줄일 수 있는 가상 싱크라는 개념으로 소스 의 데이터를 모으고 모아진 데이터를 싱크에 전달 하여 준다. 두 번째는 싱크 주변의 노드들의 급격한 에너지 소모로 인하여 VSR은 가상 싱크 로테이션 알고리즘을 사용한다. 가상 싱크 로테이션은 네트워크의 노드들이 에너지를 균일하게 소모 시키도록 하고, 네트워크 수명을 늘린다. VSR 라우팅 프로토콜 과 기존에 제안된 논문의 비교 실험 결과를 통하여 에너지 소모, 메시지 지연 시간, 전송 효율 등에서 좋은 성능을 가지는 것을 보여줄 것이다.

Dynamic sensor network(DSN) technology which is based on swarming flight type air node offers analyzed and acquired information on target data gathered by air nodes in rotation flight or 3 dimension array flight. Efficient operation of dynamic sensor network based on air node is possible when problems of processing time, data transmission reliability, power consumption and intermittent connectivity are solved. Delay tolerant network (DTN) can be a desirable alternative to solve those problems. DTN using store-and-forward message switching technology is a solution to intermittent network connectivity, long and variable delay time, asymmetric data rates, and high error rates. However, all processes are performed at the bundle layer, so high power consumption, long processing time, and repeated reliability technique occur. DSN based on swarming flight type air node need to adopt store-and-forward message switching technique of DTN, the cancelation scheme of repeated reliability technique, fast processing time with simplified layer composition.
