Abstract

In this paper, a novel WUSB (Wireless USB) over WBAN (Wireless Body Area Networks) MAC protocol is proposed to improve efficiency of sensing the personal information. Furthermore, a localization technique based on that protocol is also proposed for indoor localization in a ship. For this purpose, the proposed localization algorithm minimizes power consumption and estimates location with accuracy. It is executed independently at each sensor node on the basis of WUSB over WBAN protocol. And it minimizes power consumption by estimating locations of sensor nodes without GPS (Global Positioning Systems).

본 논문에서는 선박 내 실내에서 개인 정보 전달의 효율성을 높이는 WUSB over WBAN 프로토콜 구조와 본 프로토콜에 기초한 실내 위치인식 기술을 제안한다. 이를 위해 전력 소모를 최소화 하면서 정밀한 위치 인식이 가능한 위치인식알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 위치인식알고리즘은 WUSB over WBAN 프로토콜 기반 센서 노드에서 GPS 없이 독립적으로 실행되어 측정된 값을 사용하여, 각 센서 노드의 위치를 추정함으로써 전력소모를 최소화한다.
