Abstract

In this paper, Zigbee/PLC gateway system is designed for Ubiquitous health care. A protocol conversion algorithm for smooth information exchange between Zigbee and PLC communication has been implemented on the gatway. If a moving object is detected by wireless sensor, the data is transmitted to gateway. Zigbee/PLC gateway analyzes received data and transmits to Power Line Communication for real-time monitoring. Implemented system is can support elder who lives alone activity analysis, crime prevention system, Home network service.

본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스 헬스케어를 위한 Zigbee/PLC 게이트웨이 시스템을 구현하였다. 게이트웨이를 이용하여 Zigbee 통신과 전력선 통신 간의 원활한 정보 교환을 위한 프로토콜 변환 알고리즘을 설계 및 구현하였다. Zigbee/PLC 게이트웨이 시스템은 센서 모듈, Zigbee 모듈, 전력선 모뎀, 게이트웨이로 구성되며, 움직이는 물체가 무선 센서에 감지되면 Zigbee 모듈을 통해 게이트웨이로 전송된다. Zigbee/PLC 게이트웨이에서는 전송받는 데이터를 분석하여, 실시간 모니터링을 위해 전력선 통신망을 통해 외부로 전송된다. 구현된 시스템은 독거노인 활동량 분석, 방범 시스템, 홈 네트워크 서비스 등 다양한 분야에서 활용가능하다.
