We address the problem of effective vehicular routing in hostile scenarios where malicious nodes intend to jeopardize the delivery of messages. Compromised vehicles can severely affect the performance of the network by a number of attacks, such as selectively dropping messages, manipulating them on the fly, and the likes. One of the best performing solutions that has been used in static wireless sensor networks to deal with these attacks is based on the concept of watchdog nodes (also known as guard nodes) that collaborate to continue the forwarding of data packets in case a malicious behavior in a neighbor node is detected. In this work, we consider the beacon-less routing algorithm for vehicular environments routing protocol, which has been previously shown to perform very well in vehicular networks, and analyze whether a similar solution would be feasible for vehicular environments. Our simulation results in an urban scenario show that watchdog nodes are able to avoid up to a 50% of packet drops across different network densities and for different number of attackers, without introducing a significant increase in terms of control overhead. However, the overall performance of the routing protocol is still far from optimal. Thus, in the case of vehicular networks, watchdog nodes alone are not able to completely alleviate these security threats.

S-MAC은 전송 지연을 희생하고 전체 센서 노드의 동작 수영을 연장하기 위한 무선 센서 네트워크에 특화된 MAC(Medium Access Control) 프로토콜이다. IEEE 802.11을 수정하여 만들어진 S-MAC은 주기적인 Listen and Sleep 스케줄방식을 사용하여 무선 센서 네트워크에서 발생하는 에너지 소모를 줄였다. S-MAC을 사용하는 무선 센서 네트워크에서 초기에 수행하는 것이 자신의 동작 주기를 결정하고 알리는 것이다. 이 과정에서 무작위(randomization)로 선택된 시간을 사용하여 스케줄한 결과 다원화된 스케줄이 발생된다. 결국 서로 다른 스케줄 클러스터가 만들어지고 이 클러스터 경계에 있는 노드는 어긋난 Listen시간으로 인해 서로 통신을 하지 못한다. S-MAC 에서는 서로 다른 스케줄을 수용하는 경계 노드(border node)를 두어 해결하고 있다. 하지만, 경계 노드는 다른 노드에 비해 에너지 소모가 높고 브로드캐스트 형식의 데이터 전송 효율이 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 S-MAC의 다원화된 스케줄 방식의 문제점을 해결하는 H-SYNC(Heartbeat-SYNC) 스케줄 일원화 방안을 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 성능비교 및 평가를 실시한 결과 낮은 에너지 소모를 달성하였다.

In this paper, oneM2M based data monitoring and acquisition system is designed and implemented to measure and transmit the voltage, current, temperature, acceleration and vibration of the motor. The proposed system can detect electrical faults (overcurrent, reverse phase, phase loss, ground fault) and mechanical faults (MC counter, motor operation time, bearing and winding temperature, motor speed, insulation resistance). The system consists of sensor data collection, web server, php, database, wired/wireless communication system. The insulation resistance and the motor speed were measured, and the experimental results were similar for both the test resistance value and the reference input value.

Micro thermoelectric generator has been attractive for the alternative power source to operate the wireless sensor node. In this paper, we designed the column-type micro thermoelectric device and their device characteristics were measured. n-type Bi2Te3 and p-type BiSbTe3 thermoelectric thin films were grown on (001) GaAs substrates by metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) and they were pattemed. The height of thermoelectric film were controlled by the deposition time, temperature and MO-x gas pressure. Seebeck coefficient was measured at room temperature and hole concentration and electrical resistivity of thermoelectric film were also characterized.

In this paper, we proposed a RSS based cooperative localization algorithm using area reduction mehood for wireless sensor networks, which can estimate the BN position. The proposed localization system monitoring all nodes estimates a position of BN, and calculates an intersection area with cooperative localization. From the results, we confirm that BN intersection area is reduced as the number of RN is increased. Moreover, the propose algorithm using 4 RNs is improved estimation performance than conventional method. Therefore, the cooperative localization algorithm with area reduction mehood provides higher localization accuracy than RSS based conventional method.

최근 AODV 라우팅 프로토콜은 무선센서네트워크에서 노드 간에 데이터 전송방식을 추구하므로 테이블구동방식 중 가장 널리 사용되고 있다. AODV 라우팅 프로토콜은 목적지노드가 멀리 있거나 없는 경우엔 목적지노드를 찾기 위한 라우팅 패킷이 급격하게 증가하고 이로 인해 네트워크의 성능이 크게 저하된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 불필요한 RREQ 메시지를 제어하는 ERS(expanding ring search)방법을 사용한다. 그러나 ERS 방법은 유선 멀티캐스팅을 기본으로 하기 때문에 무선네트워크환경의 NTT(node traversal time)를 고려하지 않았다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이동 무선 센서 노드들이 불규칙적으로 이동하는 무선센서네트워크에서 목적지 노드로부터 소스노드까지 전송되는 RREP의 소요시간, 노드간의 거리, 에너지량을 고려하여 효율적인 NTT 알고리즘을 제안한다.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 각각의 센서 노드들은 무선 통신을 통해 서로 간에 통신을 수행한다. 과거에는 이러한 센서 노드간의 통신을 제 3 자로부터 안전하게 지키는 것이 중요한 보안 이슈였다. 특히 보안 서비스를 제공 하기 위한 키 관리 기법들이 주요 연구방향이었다. 하지만 안전하게 만들어진 확률론적 키(key)를 기반으로 하는 키 사전분배 방법은 공격받은 다른 노드로 인해 자신의 키가 노출 될 수 있다. 공격자는 노출된 공유키(shared key)를 통해 노출되지 않은 정상 노드(non-compromised node) 사이의 대칭키(pairwise key)를 얻을 수 있으며, 공격자는 네트워크에 심각한 영향을 줄 수 있는 메시지 삽입 및 수정 공격을 감행할 수 있다. 이와 같은 오용된 키를 폐기하고 메시지 삽입 및 수정 공격을 막기 위해 Liu and Dong 은 오용키 탐지 방법을 제안하였다. 하지만 이들의 방법에는 한계점이 있어 이를 보완하기 위한 에너지 효율적인 오용키 탐지 기법을 제안한다.

The importance of big data analytics has become apparent with the increasing volume of data on the Internet. The amount of data will increase even more with the widespread use of Internet of Things (IoT). One of the most important application areas of the IoT is healthcare. This study introduces new real-time data analytics architecture for an IoT-based smart healthcare system, which consists of a wireless sensor network and a radio-frequency identification technology in a vertical domain. The proposed platform also includes high-performance data analytics tools, such as Kafka, Spark, MongoDB, and NodeJS, in a horizontal domain. To investigate the performance of the system developed, a diagnosis of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome by logistic regression is discussed. The results show that the proposed IoT data analytics system can successfully process health data in real-time with an accuracy rate of 95% and it can handle large volumes of data. The developed system also communicates with a riverbed modeler using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to model any IoT-enabling technology. Therefore, the proposed architecture can be used as a time-saving experimental environment for any IoT-based system.

A key challenge for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is to maximize the network lifetime with power-efficient and flexible duty cycling techniques on energy-constraint sensor nodes. In this paper, we propose a novel power-efficient MAC protocol for WBAN that accommodates normal, emergency, and on-demand traffic in a reliable manner. This protocol supports two wakeup mechanisms, a traffic-based wakeup mechanism, which accommodates normal traffic by exploiting the node's traffic patterns, and a wakeup radio mechanism, which accommodates emergency and on-demand traffic by using a wakeup radio. It can be seen that the proposed protocol not only improves the lifetime of WBAN but also provides a reliable method to handle sporadic events. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol outperforms WiseMAC in terms of low-power consumption and delay.

In a wireless network environment, since sensors are not always connected to power, the life of a battery, which is an energy source supplied to sensors, is limited. Therefore, various studies have been conducted to extend the network life, and a layer-based routing protocol, LEACH(: Low-energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy), has emerged for efficient energy use. However, the LEACH protocol, which transmits fused data directly to the sink node, has a limitation in that it consumes as much energy as the square of the transmission distance when transmitting data. To improve these limitations, this paper proposes an algorithm that can minimize the transmission distance with multi-hop transmission where cluster heads are chained between cluster heads through relative distance calculation from sink nodes in every round.
