Many studies that improve the efficiency of data collection and a network's lifetime by using a mobile sink have been conducted using wireless sensor networks. If a drone is used as a mobile sink, the drone can collect data more efficiently than can existing mobile sinks operating on the ground because the drone can minimize the effects of obstacles and the terrain. In this paper, we propose a rendezvous node selection scheme which considers estimated drone's trajectory and data collection latency of sensor networks for reliable data collection, when a drone whose trajectory is not predetermined works with terrestrial wireless sensor networks. A selected rendezvous node on the ground collects data from the entire network and it sends then collected data to the drone via direct communication. We also verify that the proposed scheme is more reliable than previous schemes without considering the drone's trajectory and data collection latency.

This paper proposes an efficient path maintaining scheme in the grid based wireless sensor networks. The proposed scheme provides the shortest path from a source node to a mobile sink node in a re-established dissemination path. The shortest path can save energy consumption to deliver data to the destination. The proposed scheme can also reduce the cost for path maintenance by reusing the existing path. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme reduces the path maintenance cost by 60% compared to the conventional schemes.

In industrial wireless sensor networks, the continuous object detection such as fire or toxic gas detection is one of major applications. A continuous object occurs at a specific point and then diffuses over a wide area. Therefore, many studies have focused on accurately detecting a continuous object and delivering data to a static sink with an energy-efficient way. Recently, some applications such as fire suppression require mobile sinks to provide real-time response. However, the sink mobility support in continuous object detection brings challenging issues. The existing approaches supporting sink mobility are designed for individual object detection, so they establish one-to-one communication between a source and a mobile sink for location update. But these approaches are not appropriate for a continuous object detection since a mobile sink should establish one-to-many communication with all sources. The one-to-many communication increases energy consumption and thus shortens the network lifetime. In this paper, we propose the origin-centric communication scheme to support sink mobility in a continuous object detection. Simulation results verify that the proposed scheme surpasses all the other work in terms of energy consumption.

센서 네트워크에서 고려해야 하는 중요한 사항중 하나는 제한된 자원을 가진 센서 네트워크에서 주어진 에너지 소모를 최소화 하여서 네트워크 수명을 연장하는 것이다. 그러나 기존에 제안된 프로토콜은 유동성을 지닌 여러 개의 싱크가 존재할 경우에는 비효율 적인 문제가 발생하였으며 그러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 여러 가지 프로토콜이 제안 되었다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 제안된 그리드 형태를 이용한 클러스터 기반의 라우팅 프로토콜인 CBPER(Cluster-based -Power-Efficient Routing)을 기반으로 이 프로토콜이 가지는 영구적인 그리드 형성시 발생할 수 있는 void grid 문제를 해결하고자 한다.

In this paper, we propose a system in a large-scale environment, such as desert and ocean, that can reduce the overall transmission power consumption in mobile sensor network. It is known that the transmission power consumption in wireless sensor network is proportional to the square of transmission distance. Therefore, if the locations of mobile sensors are far from the sink node, the power consumption required for data transmission increases, leading to shortened operating time of the sensors. Hence, in this paper, we propose a system that can reduce the power consumption by allowing to transmit data only if the transmission range of the sensors is within a predetermined distance. Moreover, the energy efficiency of the overall sensor network can even be improved by reducing the number of data transmissions at the sink node to gateway based on compressed sensing. The proposed system is actually implemented using Arduino and Raspberry Pi and it is confirmed that source data can be approximately decoded even when the gateway received encoded data fewer than the required number of data from the sink node. The performance of the proposed system is analyzed in theory.

무선 센서네트워크는 다수의 센서 노드로 구성되어 데이터를 수집하는 네트워크다. 센서 네트워크를 이루는 노드는 대부분 이동성이 없는 고정식 노드이다. 그러나 현재 센서 네트워크의 다양한 응용의 확장은 이동성있는 모바일 센서노드에 대한 지원을 요구하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이동성 있는 모바일 센서 노드의 네트워크 구성과 데이터 전송을 위해 셀을 기반으로 센서네트워크를 구성하고, 셀의 헤드를 이용하여 이동성 노드로부터 싱크 노드로의 데이터 전송이 가능하도록 무선 센서네트워크의 자기 구성 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

Mobility of the sensor networks proposed a new way to the efficient design of sensor networks and improvement of network system performance. Mobility results in a number of functional changes in the MAC protocol and routing protocol. Especially, the mobility of the nodes may occur the increase of the overhead of transmission or disconnection of the link. Therefore, the study of the energy efficient transmission is very important in mobile sensor networks. This paper proposed adaptive transmission mechanism on the distance-based power control. The proposed mechanism was analyzed better than conventional method in the average energy consumption and network life by simulation results.

With recent advances in sensor technology, CMOS-based semiconductor devices and networking protocol, the areas for application of wireless sensor networks greatly expanded and diversified. Such diversification of uses for wireless sensor networks creates a multitude of beneficial possibilities for several industries. In the application of wireless sensor networks for monitoring systems' data transmission process from the sensor node to the sink node, transmission through multi-hop paths have been used. Also mobile sink techniques have been applied. However, high energy costs, unbalanced energy consumption of nodes and time gaps between the measured data values and the actual value have created a need for advancement. Therefore, this thesis proposes a new model which alleviates these problems. To reduce the communication costs due to frequent data exchange, a State Prediction Model has been developed to predict the situation of the peripheral node using a geographic autocorrelation of sensor nodes constituting the wireless sensor networks. Also, a Risk Analysis Model has developed to quickly alert the monitoring system of any fatal abnormalities when they occur. Simulation results have shown, in the case of applying the State Prediction Model, errors were smaller than otherwise. When the Risk Analysis Model is applied, the data transfer latency was reduced. The results of this study are expected to be utilized in any efficient communication method for wireless sensor network monitoring systems where all nodes are able to identify their geographic location.

MSN 라우팅 프로토콜 설계에서 노드의 이동성 정도를 반영하는 것은 중요한 문제이며 다른 네트워크 인자의 특성들과 통합적으로 고려되어야 한다. 하지만, 기존 라우팅 기법들은 이동성의 고려가 미미하거나 다른 환경 인자들과 통합적인 고려가 되지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 센서 네트워크(MSN)에서 신뢰성 있고 에너지 효율적인 라우팅 기법을 제안한다. 먼저 동적인 네트워크 환경에서 이동성과 패킷발생율에 따른 에너지 소모 패턴 분석을 하였다. 분석된 결과를 바탕으로 제안 기법은 다양한 환경 인자에 따라 에이전트들이 싱크를 중심으로 자율적으로 구성하고 통신한다. 이러한 에이전트 기반의 라우팅 기법은 신뢰성 있고, 에너지 효율적인 통신을 가능하게 한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안 기법은 기존 기법에 비해 노드의 이동성의 변화가 심한 환경에서 에너지 효율적임을 보인다.
