Abstract

In the sensor networks, the first step in the signal processing is noise reduction. It is obvious that the noise in the sensing data by sensor nodes have a bad effect on the collaborative signal processing results. In this paper we propose noise reduction filters for the wireless sensor networks. The proposed filters use only relative distance information between sensor nodes thus it is very simple in complexity and easy to implement. Also it will be able to extend the sensor network life time by adjusting communication radius of sensors within proper limit to reduce consuming power. Various simulation results are presented to verify our approaches, we observed that the proposed filters can reduce the effect of the noise on the sensing data.

센서네트워크에서 신호처리를 수행하는 경우 노이즈 감쇄문제는 우선적으로 해결되어야 할 과제이다. 센서노드가 수집한 데이터에 포함된 노이즈가 센서네트워크의 신호처리 결과에 악영향을 미치는 것은 자명하다. 본 논문에서는 무선센서네트워크에서 사용할 수 있는 노이즈 감쇄 필터를 제안한다. 제안된 필터는 센서노드간의 상대적인 거리정보만을 사용하여 동작하며 구성이 단순하며 구현도 쉽다. 또한 센서노드의 통신반경을 적절한 범위에서 조정하여 전력소모를 줄이고 전체 네트워크의 수명을 연장할 수 있다. 다양한 조건에 대하여 성능평가를 수행하여 제안된 필터가 수집된 데이터에 대한 노이즈 영향을 감소시키는 것을 확인 하였다.
