Abstract

In this paper, an efficient network configuration method is proposed for mobile nodes in LR-WPAN (Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Network) based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The proposed MSBS (mobile sensor beacon setup) method can be used to implement a joining procedure by which an improved processing rate can be achieved. This improvement is achieved by using BOP (Beacon only Period). In this method, the performance of mobile nodes is enhanced by using information on depth, traffic, and RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication). By using the MSBS method, trusted data can be transferred and traffic overloads that occur at specific nodes can be prevented. The information obtained from the mobile nodes in wireless networks is analyzed using the proposed method, in order to study the performance of the method. Simulation results show that the MSBS method can be used to obtain an efficient network configuration according to the mobility of nodes in LR-WPAN.

본 논문에서는 근거리 저속 무선 기술인 IEEE 802.15.4 표준을 이용한 무선 센서 네트워크 환경에서 노드의 이동성을 고려한 효율적 네트워크 구성 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 MSBS 방법은 BOP 구간을 이용하여 이동 노드의 네트워크 가입 시 보다 향상된 처리 속도로 가입절차를 수행하며, 이웃 노드들의 Depth, RSSI, 트래픽량을 고려하여 효율적으로 네트워크 구성을 한다. MSBS 방법은 트래픽이 집중되어 있는 노드를 통한 네트워크 가입을 방지하고, RSSI가 높은 노드를 통하여 네트워크 가입 절차를 수행하므로 통신 품질을 향상시킨다. 제안된 방법의 효용성을 증명하기 위하여 MSBS 방법을 적용한 IEEE 802.15.4 시뮬레이션 모델을 구현하여 이동 노드의 경로에 따라서 효율적으로 네트워크 구성함을 보였다.
