Stationary nodes and mobile nodes co-exist wireless sensor network(WSN) can provide variety of new services. The stationary sensor node acts not only the gathering the environmental sensing data but also a access point to bidirectional communication with numerous mobile sensor nodes(mobile node), and the mobile sensor nodes are installed inside mobile objects and identify the location in real-time and monitor the internal status of the object. However, only using the legacy WSN protocol, it is impossible to set up the stable network due to the several reasons caused by the free-mobility of the mobile nodes. In this paper, we suggest three methods to increase the hit-ratio of the asynchronous message delivery(AMD) among mobile nodes. We verified the performance of the suggested methods under the stationary-mobile co-existed WSN testbed.

무선 센서 네트워크는 개방된 환경에서 무작위로 배치되어 악의적인 공격자들에게 쉽게 노출된다. 센서 노드는 한정된 에너지 자원과 손쉽게 훼손된다는 단점을 통해 허위 보고서와 투표 삽입 공격이 발생한다. Li와 Wu는 두 공격을 대응하기 위해 확률적 투표기반 여과기법을 제안하였다. 확률적 투표기반 여과기법은 고정적인 검증 경로를 결정하기 때문에 특정 노드의 에너지 자원고갈 위험이 있다. 본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크에서 보고서 여과 확률 향상을 위하여 퍼지 시스템을 기반으로 다음 노드 선택을 약 6% 효율적인 경로 선택 방법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 전달 경로 상의 노드 중 상태정보가 높은 노드를 검증 노드로 선택하고, 선택된 검증 노드는 허용 범위 경계 값을 기준으로 공격 유형을 판별하고 여과한다. 실험결과를 통해 제안기법은 기존기법과 비교하였을 때 에너지 효율이 향상되었다.

본 논문에서는 계층적인 센서 네트워크에서 하위 센서 노드의 인증이나 센싱된 정보의 암호화를 위해 사용할 수 있는 키를 관리하기 위하여 키 선분배를 기본으로 키 재분배 방법을 제공하는 키 관리 메커니즘을 제안한다. 본 키 관리의 특징은 첫째, 중앙 관리의 약점을 극복하기 위해 키 관리를 다른 aggregator 노드들에 분산시켰다. 둘째, SINK 노드는 키의 재분배를 위한 키 스페이스를 제외하고, 이미 분배된 키에 대해서는 어느 노드에게 어떤 키를 분배했는지 또는 그 키 자체를 저장하지 않고, 키 계산을 위한 일부 정보만 저장하고 있다가 노드가 메시지에 첨부하여 주는 키 정보를 이용해 사용된 키를 간단히 계산하며, 키 풀의 확장이 용이하여 확장성을 제공한다. 마지막으로 계산 및 메모리 측면에서의 오버헤드 분석을 통해 제안된 키 관리의 확장성 제공을 입증한다.

센서 네트워크는 다양한 탐지 대상 및 환경을 감시하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다 이러한 센서 네트워크에서 센서 노드간 키를 설립하는 것은 보안을 위한 가장 기본적인 요구 사항이다 하지만 센서가 가진 기본 특성인 자원의 제약 때문에 일반 네트워크에서 사용되고 있는 중앙 키 분배 서버를 이용한 키 분배나 공개키 기법을 사용하는 것은 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크 특성에 맞는 키의 사전 분배 방식을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 기법은 클러스터를 기반으로 위치 정보를 이용하여 키를 사전 분배하였기 때문 에 노드간 키 설립확률을 높였을 뿐만 아니라, 악의적인 노드에 의해 다항식이 공개되어 정상 노드가 붕괴되는 것을 막기 위해 클러스터당 헤드를 두어 다항식을 공유하는 노드의 범위를 줄여 보안을 보다 강화 시켰다.

VANET(Vehicular Ad-hoc Network), which is a technology to create a network among vehicles, decides the route to the destination using information of neighbors within the transmission range as transmission nodes. The existing routing protocol which uses geographical information can cause delay and disconnection of the network when the density of nodes is not high enough to communicate because it only considers the distance of the relay nodes or destination nodes from the source nodes. To solve the problem, this dissertation suggests a routing algorithm based on zones for stable communications among vehicles in the environment of VANET. I minimize the packet loss rate by dividing the city environment into zones and taking into account not only the distance of the destination but also the density of vehicles to choose the best communications environment. This results in a better performance than the established research when the performance evaluation is implemented.

An accurate positioning estimation in the wireless sensor networks (WSN) is very important in which each sensor node is aware of neighbor conditions. The multi-hop positioning estimation technique is considered as one of the suitable techniques for the WSN with many low power devices. However geographical holes, where there is no sensor node, may severely decrease the positioning accuracy so that the positioning error can be beyond the tolerable range. Therefore in this paper, we analyze error factors of DV-hop and hole effect to obtain node's accurate position. The proposed methods include boundary node detection, distance level adjustment, and unreliable anchor elimination. The simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve higher positioning accuracy using the hole detection and enhanced distance calculation methods compared with the conventional DV-hop.

Because the traditional public key-based cryptosystems are unsuitable for the sensor node with limited computational and communication capability, a secure communication between two neighbor sensor nodes becomes an important challenging research in sensor network security. Therefore several session key establishment protocols have been proposed for that purpose. In this paper, we analyzed and compared the existing session key establishment protocols based on the criterions of generation strategy and uniqueness of the session key, connectivity, overhead of communication and computation, and vulnerability to attacks. Based on the analysis results, we specify the requirements for the secure and efficient protocols for establishing session keys. Then, we propose an advanced protocol to satisfy the specified requirements and verify the superiority of our protocol over the existing protocols through the detailed analysis.

Localization is one of the fundamental problems in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that forms the basis for many location-aware applications. Localization in WSNs is to determine the position of node based on the known positions of several nodes. Most of previous localization method use triangulation or multilateration based on the angle of arrival (AOA) or distance measurements. In this paper, we propose an enhanced centroid localization method based on edge weights of adjacent nodes using fuzzy modeling and genetic algorithm when node connectivities are known. The simulation results shows that our proposed centroid method is more accurate than the simple centroid method using connectivity only.

In this paper, we propose a resource allocation scheme based on entropy for tactical wireless networks. In a tactical situation, the sensing nodes that are located randomly provide transmitted data values depending on environmental conditions. Since they share wireless resources, nodes providing valuable data compared to others need to have more resources. The proposed scheme evaluates the value of received data by a sink node. Based on the results, the sink node reallocates resources to sensing nodes. Through various experiments, we verified the proposed scheme is superior to the fixed allocation scheme.

The value of sensing information is decided according to positions of sensor nodes, which are very important in sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a method that estimates positions of nodes by using adjacent node information and received signal strength in a sensor network. With the proposed method, we can find positions of nodes easily because we use information that nodes have. Moreover, we can find distribution easily for all the nodes because we can measure a relative position for a node whose position is not known based on anchor nodes whose positions are already known. We utilized Use case diagram, activity diagram and State machine diagram among several diagrams of UML to implement proposed method in sensor networks that is dynamic system. We can understand exact flow for each function of the proposed method in node position estimation system can be implemented easily. And we can be confirmed that the position of estimated nodes has a little error.
