최근 들어 hot spot 서비스를 비롯한 무선랜의 활용이 급격히 증가하고 있다. 전에는 주로 옥내에서 유선랜 대용으로 사용이 국한되었지만, 무선랜(유비쿼터스)의 데이터 전송속도와 성능이 크게 향상되어 옥내에서의 mobile computing 용도뿐만 아니라 옥외에서 인터넷 접속용이나 무선 브리지용으로도 그 사용이 증대되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고속이동환경에서의 무선랜의 데이터 전송속도를 측정하여 상시 원격계측 안전감시 시스템 등의 응용 분야에서 그 사용 가능성을 검증하였다.

무선 네트워크 솔루션은 자유로운 이동성과 설치의 간편성 때문에 많은 영역에서 사용되고 있다. 무선 네트워크를 구성하는 센서들이 서로 정보를 공유하기 위해서는 무선통신을 지원하는 프로토콜이 필요하다. 대표적인 프로토콜은 Mobile IPv6가 있다. 그러나 각 센서들은 제한된 전력과 컴퓨팅 능력을 갖기 때문에 이 프로토콜을 사용하는 것은 매우 비효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 에너지 효율을 높일 수 있는 개선된 센서 회로를 설계하였으며, 센서 네트워크상에서 필요하지 않은 센서를 휴면상태로 둠으로써 에너지 소비를 줄일 수 있는 알고리즘을 구성하였다.

Advances in localization-based technologies and the increase in ubiquitous computing have led to a growing interest in location-based applications and services. High accuracy of the position of a wireless device is still a crucial requirement to be satisfied. Firstly, the rapid development of wireless communication technologies has affected the location accuracy of radio monitoring systems employed locally and globally. Secondly, the location is determined using standard complex computing methods and needs a relatively long execution time. In this paper, two geolocalization techniques, based on trigonometric and CORDIC computing processes, are proposed and implemented for Bluetooth-based indoor monitoring applications. Theoretical analysis and simulation results are investigated in terms of accuracy, scalability, and responsiveness. They show that the proposed techniques can locate a target wireless device accurately and are well suited for timing estimation.

무선 네트웍을 포함하는 이동컴퓨팅에서는 무선 통신망의 특성상 잦은 끊김과 높은 에러율 때문에 비연결시에도 수행을 계속할 수 있는 기능이 필요하다. 이러한 이동컴퓨팅 환경에서 비연결 수행기능을 제공하기 위해 많은 개념과 이론들이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서 이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서 비연결 수행상태를 포함한 태스크의 평균 수행시간을 분석하였다. 비연결 수행 태스크는 데이터 호딩(Data Hoarding), 비연결 수행(Disconnected operation), 블록(Block)의 3가지 상태로 분리할 수 있다. 이러한 3가지 상태에서 여러 가지 입력 파라메터들(에러율(Error rate), 재연결율(Recovery rate), 태스크 수행 중지 확률(Stop rate), 로깅 오버헤드(Logging overhead), 호딩 오버헤드(Hoarding overhead), 재연결 오버헤드(Reintegration overhead))들이 비연결 수행 태스크 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이러한 분석을 통해서 통신망 단절을 고려한 이동컴퓨팅에서 보다 효과적인 태스크 수행기법을 선택할 수 있다.

The location and human activity are usually used as one of the important parameters to monitor the health status in healthcare devices. However, nearly all existing location and monitoring systems have the limitation of short-range communication and high power consumption. In this paper, we propose a new mechanism to collect and transmit monitoring information based on LoRa technology. The monitoring device with sensors can collect the real-time activity and location information and transmit them to the cloud server through LoRa gateway. The user can check all his history and current information through the specific designed mobile applications. Experiment was carried out to verify the communication, power consumption and monitoring performance of the entire system. Experimental results demonstrate that this system can collect monitoring and activity information accurately and provide the long rang coverage with low power consumption.

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) are both recognized as promising techniques, one is for solving the resource insufficient of mobile devices and the other is for powering the mobile device. Naturally, by integrating the two techniques, task will be capable of being executed by the harvested energy which makes it possible that less intrinsic energy consumption for task execution. However, this innovative integration is facing several challenges inevitably. In this paper, we aim at prolonging the battery life of mobile device for which we need to maximize the harvested energy and minimize the consumed energy simultaneously, which is formulated as residual energy maximization (REM) problem where the offloading ratio, energy harvesting time, CPU frequency and transmission power of mobile device are all considered as key factors. To this end, we jointly optimize the offloading ratio, energy harvesting time, CPU frequency and transmission power of mobile device to solve the REM problem. Furthermore, we propose an efficient convex optimization and sequential unconstrained minimization technique based combining method to solve the formulated multi-constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The result shows that our joint optimization outperforms the single optimization on REM problem. Besides, the proposed algorithm is more efficiency.

Saving energy is a big challenge for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which becomes even more critical in large-scale WSNs. Most energy waste is communication related, such as collision, overhearing and idle listening, so the schedule-based access which can avoid these wastes is preferred for WSNs. On the other hand, clustering technique is considered as the most promising solution for topology management in WSNs. Hence, providing interference-free clustering is vital for WSNs, especially for large-scale WSNs. However, schedule management in cluster-based networks is never a trivial work, since it requires inter-cluster cooperation. In this paper, we propose a clustering method, called Interference-Free Clustering Protocol (IFCP), to partition a WSN into interference-free clusters, making timeslot management much easier to achieve. Moreover, we model the clustering problem as a multi-objective optimization issue and use non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II to solve it. Our proposal is finally compared with two adaptive clustering methods, HEED-CSMA and HEED-BMA, demonstrating that it achieves the good performance in terms of delay, packet delivery ratio, and energy consumption.

Cloud computing is cost-effective in terms of system configuration and maintenance and does not require special IT skills for management. Also, cloud computing provides an access control setting where SSO is adopted to secure user convenience and availability. As the SSO user authentication structure of cloud computing is exposed to quite a few external security threats in wire/wireless network integrated service environment, researchers explore technologies drawing on distributed SSO agents. Yet, although the cloud computing access control using the distributed SSO agents enhances security, it impacts on the availability of services. That is, if any single agent responsible for providing the authentication information fails to offer normal services, the cloud computing services become unavailable. To rectify the environment compromising the availability of cloud computing services, and to protect resources, the current paper proposes a security policy that controls the authority to access the resources for cloud computing services by applying the authentication policy of user authentication agents. The proposed system with its policy of the authority to access the resources ensures seamless and secure cloud computing services for users.

With the advent of IoT technology and Big Data computing, the importance of WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) has been on the rise. For energy-efficient and collection-efficient delivery of any sensed data, lots of novel wireless medium access control (MAC) protocols have been proposed and these MAC schemes are the basis of many IoT systems that leads the upcoming fourth industrial revolution. WSNs play a very important role in collecting Big Data from various IoT sensors. Also, due to the limited amount of battery driving the sensors, energy-saving MAC technologies have been recently studied. In addition, as new IoT technologies for Big Data computing emerge to meet different needs, both sensors and sinks need to be mobile. To guarantee stability of WSNs with dynamic topologies as well as frequent physical changes, the existing MAC schemes must be tuned for better adapting to the new WSN environment which includes energy-efficiency and collection-efficiency of sensors, coverage of WSNs and data collecting methods of sinks. To address these issues, in this paper, a self-organization scheme for mobile sensor networks with mobile multiple sinks has been proposed and verified to adapt both mobile sensors and multiple sinks to 3-dimensional group management MAC protocol. Performance evaluations show that the proposed scheme outperforms the previous schemes in terms of the various usage cases. Therefore, the proposed self-organization scheme might be adaptable for various computing and networking environments with big data.

최근 무선 모바일 컴퓨팅 응용 기술과 휴대용 모바일 단말장치 개발 기술의 급속한 발전과 더불어, 요즈음 가장 각광을 받는 이 분야의 이슈는 무선 모바일 애드 혹 네트워크 환경에서의 온라인 게임의 설계에 관한 것이다. 모바일 컴퓨팅 환경에서의 온라인 게임은 이동 단말들이 갖는 제약들: 즉, 낮은 성능의 프로세서, 극히 제한적인 메모리 공간, 무선 기반의 적은 통신 대역폭과 한정된 배터리 파워 등의 제한으로 인해 본격 온라인 게임 개발에 많은 제약이 따른다. 따라서 지금까지의 대부분의 모바일 게임들은 온라인이나 멀티플레이 기능에 매우 제한적이다. 본 논문에서는 많은 제약을 갖는 이동 단말을 기반으로 모바일 컴퓨팅 환경에서 다수의 사용자들이 멀티플레이가 가능한 온라인 MMORPG를 설계하고 구현하였다. 제안한 온라인 게임은 Blutooth를 이용하여 국부적으로 무선 모바일 애드혹 네트워크를 클라이언트들 간에 일시적으로 구축하고 MMORPG 게임을 온라인으로 수행할 수 있도록 설계하였으며, 또한 이들 간의 멀티플레이를 지원한다.
