Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is one of the key technologies that make it possible to provide u-service in a ubiquitous society, however, it has disadvantages such as difficulty of managing sensor nodes and weaknesses of stability or mobility in large-scale WSNs. In order to solve these problems, 6LoWPAN that integrates with WSNs and IP networks has been studied widely. In this paper, we propose a Location Tracking Service Based on Google Map (LTSGM) system using 6LoWPAN. Since LTSGM system provides visual location information of sensor nodes through Google Map, it is possible to makes it easier than ever to manage sensor nodes in large-scale WSNs. Moreover, LTSGM can be used for various services such as applications for disaster or crime because it can trace the location of mobile nodes. Implementation of LTSGM system will be a test platform for 6LoWPAN.

유비쿼터스 사회에서 u-서비스를 구현하기 위한 핵심기술 중의 하나인 무선센서네트워크는 대규모망에서 관리가 어렵고 안정성 및 이동성이 취약하다는 단점을 가진다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 최근 센서네트워크와 IP망과의 연동을 위한 6LoWPAN에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다. 본 논문에서는 6LoWPAN을 이용한 위치 추적 시스템 LTSGM(Location Tracking Service Based on Google Map)을 제안한다. LTSGM 시스템은 IP 인프라 서비스인 구글맵과 연동하여 센서노드의 위치를 시각적으로 제공함으로써 대규모 센서네트워크에서의 유지, 보수, 관리를 보다 용이하게 한다. 또한 모바일노드의 위치를 추적할 수 있으므로 향후 각종 재난, 범죄 등의 응용서비스에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 본 논문에서 구현한 LTSGM 시스템은 향후 6LoWPAN연구를 위한 시험적인 플랫폼이 될 수 있을 것이다.
