It is practical nowadays to automate data recording in order to prevent loss and tampering of records. There are existing technologies that satisfy this needs and one of them is wireless sensor networks (WSN). Wireless body sensor networks (WBSN) are wireless networks and information-processing systems which are deployed to monitor medical condition of patients. In terms of performance, WBSNs are restricted by energy, and communication between nodes. In this paper, we focused in improving the performance of communication to achieve less energy consumption and to save power. The main idea of this paper is to prioritize nodes that exhibit a sudden change of vital signs that could put the patient at risk. Cluster head is the main focus of this study in order to be effective; its main role is to check the sent data of the patient that exceeds threshold then transfer to the sink node. The proposed scheme implemented added a time-based protocol to sleep/wakeup mechanism for the sensor nodes. We seek to achieve a low energy consumption and significant throughput in this study.

Ubiquitous healthcare monitoring and measuring system based on wireless sensor network was implemented and tested. The system can measure the ECG and body temperature of patients or elderly persons and transfer the data wirelessly in ad-hoc network to remote base-station connected to doctor's PDA/PC or hospital server, using wireless sensor motes. The data obtained can be analyzed by doctors and care providers to monitor a health status of patient in real time environment. To prove the capabilities of the wireless sensor network platform for ubiquitous healthcare applications, the performance of our monitoring and measuring system was tested with positive results.

In this paper, we consider a sectorized wireless powered sensor network (WPSN), wherein sensor nodes are clustered based on sectors and transmit data to the cluster head (CH) using energy harvested from a hybrid access point. We construct a system model for this sectorized WPSN and find optimal coordinates of CH that maximize the achievable transmission rate of sensing data. To obtain the optimal CH with low overhead, we perform an asymptotic geometric analysis (GA). Simulation results show that the proposed GA-based CH selection method is close to the optimal performance exhibited by exhaustive search with a low feedback overhead.

Advancements in nanotechnology and novel nano materials in the past decade have provided a set of tools that can be used to design and manufacture integrated nano devices, which are capable of performing sensing, computing, data storing and actuation. In this paper, we have proposed cooperative nano communication using Power Switching Relay (PSR) Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) protocol and Time Switching Relay (TSR) WPT protocol over independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh fading channels in the Terahertz (THz) Gap frequency band to increase the range of transmission. Outage Probability (OP) performances for the proposed cooperative nano communication networks have been evaluated for the following scenarios: A) A single decode-and-forward (DF) relay for PSR protocol and TSR protocol, B) DF multi-relay network with best relay selection (BRS) for PSR protocol and TSR protocol, and C) DF multi-relay network with multiple DF hops with BRS for PSR protocol and TSR protocol. The results have shown that the transmission distance can be improved significantly by employing DF relays with WPT. They have also shown that by increasing the number of hops in a relay the OP performance is only marginally degraded. The analytical results have been verified by Monte-Carlo simulations.

A digital home is a ubiquitous environment that is expected to be realized in the near future. All information appliances in a house are connected to each other through wired and/or wireless home networks. Authenticated user can access the various services provided by the digital home, and the access is not restricted by equipment, time, or location. The technologies that form the digital home can be grouped into two categories: wired networking technologies and wireless networking technologies. For the purpose of ubiquitous environments, wireless-networks offer suitable and seamless high-quality services. A wireless LAN can be created simply by equipping a single access point. For that reason, the cost of establishing such a network is low and using it is easy. Of course, there is an exciting new wireless technology. It is the Ultra Wide Band (UWB). However, it is not enough to bring wireless convenience, although offering a broad range of high-speed data transfer capabilities, Because of unstable. Thus, of the wireless-networking systems, we focus on the wireless LAN. We quantitatively analyze its capabilities. The dynamic and adaptive wireless LAN provides a foundation for the evolution toward the next generation of wireless and adaptive networks. The difference between wired LAN and wireless LAN in upload and download rates is small. Although the wireless LAN experiences a greater loss rate than the wired LAN, the difference is minimal. We conclude that a wireless LAN is suitable for use in an apartment environment.

Recent advances in radio frequency (RF) power transfer provide a promising technology to power sensor nodes. Adoption of mobile chargers to replenish the nodes' energy has recently attracted a lot of attention and the mobility assisted energy replenishment provides predictable and sustained power service. In this paper, we study the joint optimization of mobile charging and data gathering in sensor networks. A wireless multi-functional vehicle (WMV) is employed and periodically moves along specified trajectories, charge the sensors and gather the sensed data via one-hop communication. The objective of this paper is to maximize the uplink throughput by optimally allocating the time for the downlink wireless energy transfer by the WMV and the uplink transmissions of different sensors. We consider two scenarios where the WMV moves in a straight line and around a circle. By time discretization, the optimization problem is formulated as a 0-1 programming problem. We obtain the upper and lower bounds of the problem by converting the original 0-1 programming problem into a linear programming problem and then obtain the optimal solution by using branch and bound algorithm. We further prove that the network throughput is independent of the WMV's velocity under certain conditions. Performance of our proposed algorithm is evaluated through extensive simulations. The results validate the correctness of our proposed theorems and demonstrate that our algorithm outperforms two baseline algorithms in achieved throughput under different settings.

센서 네트워크에서 압축은 종단 간 지연시간과 에너지 사용량 사이의 이율배반적인 관계가 있다. 데이터의 크기를 줄이기 위해 압축을 하면, 추가적인 지연시간과 에너지 소비가 발생하지만, 전송으로 인한 에너지 소모는 감소하게 된다. 일반적으로, 배터리기반 센서 네트워크에서는 지연시간을 손해 보더라도 네트워크의 생존시간을 최대화하기위해 압축을 널리 사용하고 있다. 한편 태양 에너지 기반 센서 네트워크에서는 주기적으로 에너지 재생산이 이루어짐에 따라, 동작하는데 충분한 에너지양 이상의 에너지가 존재할 가능성이 있다. 본 논문에서는 여분의 에너지를 사용해 종단 간 지연시간을 감소시키는 에너지 적응형 선택적 압축 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 노드의 에너지가 충분하지 않을 때, 에너지 소비를 줄이기 위해 압축을 사용하고, 에너지가 충분한 경우에는 종단 간 지연시간 감소를 위해 압축을 사용하지 않는다. 시뮬레이션을 통한 에너지와 지연시간의 성능평가를 통하여 제안하는 기법의 우수성을 증명하였다.

동적인 전력 공급을 통해 에너지 효율을 높여줄 것으로 기대되는 스마트 그리드 기술은 최근 전기자동차 기술의 발달과 함께 차량의 배터리를 가정용 축전지로 활용하는 Vehicle-to-Grid(V2G) 기술에 대한 관심으로 이어지고 있다. 한편, 무선으로 전력을 공급해주는 비접촉 충전 방식은 직접 사용자가 전기 플러그를 콘센트에 꽂지 않고도 자기장 유도 기반으로 전력을 공급해줌으로써 사용자의 안전과 편의성을 보장해 줄 수 있다. 더욱이 이러한 무선 충전과 동시에 자기장을 활용한 통신 시스템이 구축되면 스마트 그리드의 동적 전력 공급의 영역을 이동하는 전기자동차까지 확장함으로써 보다 실용적인 V2G 기술을 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위한 자기장 통신 시스템을 제안한다. 자기장 통신 시스템은 데이터 통신 기능과 위치 인식 기능을 제공하며 비접촉식 충전인프라를 그대로 활용할 수 있는 장점이 있기 때문에 V2G 활용에 있어서 핵심적인 기술이라고 할 수 있다. 제안하는 시스템의 데이터 통신을 전력 공급 관련 정보를 패킷화하여 송수신하고, 위치 인식을 통해 차량과 충전인프라의 위치에 따른 충전 효율 및 통신 성능을 향상시킨다. 또한 테스트 베드를 개발하여 다양한 환경에서 성능 검증을 수행하였다.

무선방송환경에서 서버가 클라이언트에게 데이터를 전송하는 방식은 다음과 같다. 서버는 클라이언트들이 원하는 데이터 정보를 정리하고, 데이터를 방송주기에 1차원 배열 형태로 전송한다. 클라이언트는 서버에게 전송받은 데이터를 청취하고 필요한 결과 값만을 사용자에게 반환한다. 최근 위치기반 서비스를 이용하는 사용자가 증가하고 객체 수의 증가 및 데이터가 대용량으로 변화되고 있다. 무선방송환경에서 대용량 데이터는 클라이언트의 질의처리시간을 증가시킬 수 있다. 따라서 우리는 무선방송환경에서 주어진 데이터를 효율적으로 스케줄링할 수 있는 클라이언트 기반의 데이터 스케줄링 (Client based Data Scheduling; CDS)을 제안한다. CDS는 맵을 분할하고 분할된 그리드 내에 객체 수 및 객체의 데이터 크기를 고려하여 각 그리드마다 객체들의 총 데이터 크기의 합을 계산한다. 각 그리드 (영역)별 객체들의 총 데이터 크기와 클라이언트 수를 고려한 hot-cold 기법을 적용하여 데이터를 스케줄링 한다. 실험을 통하여 CDS가 기존의 기법보다 클라이언트들의 평균 질의처리시간을 줄이는 것을 확인한다.
