In this study, we suggest an emulator for generating multiple heterogeneous interference signals in the Korean radio frequency identification/ubiquitous sensor network (RFID/USN) frequency band. The proposed emulator uses only one universal software radio peripheral to generate multiple heterogeneous interference signals more economically. Moreover, the physical and media access control parameters can be adjusted in real time using the LabVIEW program, thereby making it possible to create various time-varying interference environments easily. As an example showing the capability of the proposed emulator, multiple interference signals consisting of a frequency-hopping RFID signal and two LoRa signals with different spreading factors were generated. The generated signals were confirmed in both frequency and time domains. From the experimental results, we verified that our emulator could successfully generate multiple heterogeneous interference signals with different frequency and time domain characteristics.

Nowadays, ubiquitous technology which combines sensors and network technology is emerging and it is called ubiquitous sensor network (USN). In this paper, mobile application for baby care using smart sensor is proposed. The proposed mobile application consists of mobile networks to transfer the information. It detects various information such as falling detecting, crying and fever detecting of infants. It keeps infants from external threats. The developed mobile application will be examined by simulation.

This paper designs and implements wake up module for WBAN/USN sensor node which is using dynamic reference voltage demodulation circuit. When a comparator is used in a system for detecting received voltage level, comparator must have a reference voltage. However, the reference voltage is fixed, the system can communicate only a few range because received voltage level is changing widely due to distance of the wireless sensor nodes. Therefore, the proposed wake up module employs a dynamic reference voltage demodulation circuit for increasing communication range.

The existing routing protocols in USN environment, PEGASIS is more efficient than LEACH, which is a hierarchical routing protocol, for network configuration based on power consumption. Despite its merit that it can reduce energy consumption per node, however, the PEGASIS protocol also has a weakness that it is less responsive to frequent changes that occur in the configuration of sensor network due to BS nodes that keep changing, which is a typical characteristic of the sensor network. To address this problem, this paper proposes to select sub-cluster heads and have them serve as intermediate nodes. This paper presents and analyses that this method can resolve the aforementioned problem of the PEGASIS algorithm.

It is necessary for developing specific application protocol for mobile sensor end nodes and data collection devices that have constrained resources and computing powers. Because of these needs, IETF WG developed CoAP protocol and Internet draft was released, and processing to international standardization of this protocol. Because sensor nodes and information collection devices have restricted resources and computing powers, there are some limitations for applying to this proposed protocol directly. Thus in this paper we shows the implementation of full CoAP protocol for server, works on Linux and CoAP-Lite over telos which works on TinyOS for information collection devices. In this implementation we verified the main activities of CoAP protocol over USN by modifying some hardware with dependent algorithm.

The availability of powerful and sensor-enabled mobile and Internet-connected devices have enabled the advent of the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) paradigm. USN provides various types of solutions to the general public in multiple sectors, including environmental monitoring, entertainment, transportation, security, and healthcare. Here, we explore and compare the features of wireless sensor networks and USN. Based on our extensive study, we classify the security- and privacy-related challenges of USNs. We identify and discuss solutions available to address these challenges. Finally, we briefly discuss open challenges for designing more secure and privacy-preserving approaches in next-generation USNs.

유비쿼터스의 핵심기술인 RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)가 물류, 유통, 교통, 의료 등 다양한 분야에 적용한 연구가 많이 있어 왔지만, RFID를 교육에 적용한 연구는 미미한 편이다. 이에 본 논문은 RFID/USN 기술을 이용하여 학습자의 위치와 상황을 인지하고 그에 부합하는 중국어 상황 학습 시스템을 제안한다. 영어에 비해 중국어가 가지고 있는 특징을 반영한 RFID 미들웨어는 PDA 기반에서 동작하는 모바일 RFID 미들웨어로 중국어 상황 학습에 적합하도록 개발되었다.

RFID 수동 태그의 동작 원리를 이용하여 USN/WBAN 센서 노드 시스템에 적용 가능한 웨이크 업 회로를 설계하였다. 웨이크 업회로 구성은 크게 전압 체배기, 복조기, 상태기계로 구성되었다. 상태 기계에 동작 가능한 전압을 공급하기 위해 전압 체배기는 문턱 전압 제거 방식을 적용한 구조를 사용하였고, 복조기 회로로는 AM 복조기로 구조가 간단한 포락선 검파기 방식을 사용하였다. 전압 체배기에 높은 전압이 인가될 경우 회로가 파괴되는 것을 막기 위해 제한 회로를 구성하여 최대 전압을 2.1V로 제한하였다. 또한 복조기에서는 안정적인 데이터 복조를 위해 비교기의 기준전압을 입력신호의 평균값을 사용한 슈미트 트리거 비교기를 사용하여 안정적으로 데이터를 추출하였다. 삼성 0.18um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계하였고, 측정 결과 전압 체배기의 체배 전압은 2.07~1.76V까지 체배 되는 것을 확인하였고, 복조기의 데이터 복조 역시 약 4M의 거리까지 데이터를 복조함을 확인하였다.

건설현장의 온도, 습도, 조도, GPS 위치정보 및 대기중의 CO2 농도 등의 환경 데이터는 공사 진행에 따라 설계 변경 또는 개선 등의 필요성이 있는 경우에 유용하게 이용될 수 있다. 건설현장에서의 이러한 환경 데이터를 획득 및 처리하기 위한 하나의 USN 시스템을 구현하여 본사 또는 해당 부서에 필요한 시간에 온라인으로 제공함으로써 현장의 현황파악을 위한 기초 자료 제공은 물론 시간과 노력을 줄일 수 있으며 특히 공사현장이 먼 거리에 떨어져 있을수록 더욱 유용하게 적용될 수 있다. 온도, 습도, 조도, GPS 위치정보는 설치 장소에 따라 적절한 해당 측정 정보를 제공하였으며 대기중의 CO2 농도는 자동차 또는 혼잡한 시내 거리 등에서 조금 높은 수치를 보였다.
