Many researches in wireless sensor networks have used a geographic routing to effectively disseminate data between sinks and sources. To know the location information, the geographic routing has proposed two manners. A sink-initiated and a source-initiated are flooding to disseminate its location information in WSN. However, these two manners have two problems. Firstly, whenever they move, they flood their location information. Secondly, their location information is disseminated unnecessary nodes besides nodes which send and receive data in actually. Therefore, this paper proposes a protocol that can solve the two problems and disseminate effectively data between few sinks and few sources. The proposed protocol exploits a location information manager that manages location information of the sinks and the sources. We also compare the performance of the proposed protocol with the existing protocols through a simulation.

In wireless sensor networks, real-time data delivery schemes typically achieve a desired delivery speed by performing one-hop lookahead. Recently, to reduce the deadline miss ratio against the desired delivery speed, a study has proposed a real-time routing protocol based on proactively performing two-hop lookahead. However, the study might cause heavy message exchange overhead and high computing complexity to carry out obtainment of two-hop neighborhood speed information in the entire sensor nodes whether data are delivered or not. Moreover, although multi-hop lookahead provides the least deadline miss ratio, due to the restriction from the overhead and the complexity, the recent study merely adopts the two-hop lookahead manner. In this paper, we propose a novel real-time routing protocol that adopts on-demand neighborhood multi-hop information obtainments only around data forwarding paths. Simulation results prove that the proposed routing protocol offers better performances with respect to deadline miss ratio, total communication costs, energy efficiency, and network lifetime.

Research on media access control (MAC) scheme for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been mainly focused on energy efficiency improvement, while interest on latency is relatively weak. However, end-to-end latency could be a critical limitation specifically in the multi-hop network such as wireless multimedia sensor networks. In this paper we propose a media access control scheme with distributed transmission power control to Improve end-to-end transmission latency as well as reduce power consumption in multi-hop wireless sensor networks. According to the simulation results, the proposed scheme is turned out to be an energy efficient scheme with improved end-to-end transmission latency.

In this paper, we propose a new energy-efficient routing algorithm for sensor networks that selects a least energy consuming path among the paths formed by node with highest remaining energy and provides long network lifetime and uniform energy consumption by nodes. The pair distribution of the energy consumption over all the possible routes to the base station is one of the design objectives. Also, an alternate route search mechanism is proposed to cope with the situation in which no routing information is available due to lack of remaining energy of the neighboring nodes. Simulation results show that our algorithm extends the network lifetime and enhances the network reliability by maintaining relatively uniform remaining energy distribution among sensor nodes.

본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스 기술을 이용한 대기오염 관리 기술개발을 제안하였다. 현재의 시스템은 오염정도의 이해, 정보제공의 부족으로 인한 문제점을 안고 있다. 또한 한정된 지역에서의 오염측정으로 인하여 광범위한 지역을 측정하는데 한계가 있다. USN 기술은 이러한 문제점을 보완하여 도시전체를 관리할 수 있는 무선의 센서네트워크 구성이 가능하다. 근거리 무선통신기술인 ZigBee 기술을 기반으로 센서망을 구축하여 게이트웨이를 거쳐 통합관제센터로 데이터를 전송하게 된다. 분석된 데이터는 통합관제센터를 거쳐 도시내의 옥외 전광판, 개인 휴대단말기로 정보를 제공하고, 이에 따른 대책방안도 함께 알리는 방식을 제안하고자 한다.

무선 시스템에서는 수신도 송신처럼 에너지를 소모한다. 이러한 전력소모는 배터리를 전원으로 오랜시간 동작해야하는 센서 망에서는 치명적이다. 특히 센서 네트워크를 위해 제안된 경쟁기반 방식의 MAC은 에너지 소모를 야기하는 패킷간의 충돌을 최소화 하고 전송지연을 줄이는 프로토콜이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 adaptive S-MAC의 방식을 그대로 사용하면서 간섭에 의한 충돌을 줄이는 알고리즘을 이용하여 한 sync interval 내에서 최대 3홉까지 전송 가능한 MAC 프로토콜을 제안하였다. NS2의 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 MAC 프로토콜의 성능을 기존 MAC과 비교하여 증명하였다.

본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크의 다양한 응용 환경 및 상/하향 트래픽 스트림의 특성에 따라 유연하게 적용할 수 있는 새로운 매체접근제어 프로토콜을 제안한다. HiPERMAC(Hierarchically-Paired Evolutionary Radio MAC)이라고 불리는 제안 매체접근제어방식은 다양한 클러스터링 방식에 의하여 구축된 다 계층 (Hierarchical) 네트워크에서 별도의 대역 확산 전송방식이나 다수의 주파수 채널을 사용하지 않고, 단 2개의 시간 구간을 공간적으로 재활용하여 N 계층의 개별적인 통신이 가능한 구조를 제공한다. 즉, 제안방식은 단일 주파수 개념을 이용하여 계층화된 우선 센서 네트워크를 계층적 이중화(Hierarchically-Paired)하고 이때 발생하는 클러스터 간 상호 간섭의 요인들을 시간 및 공간적으로 분리하여 망 확장성과 자원 효율성을 극대화 하는 새로운 매체접근 제어 방식 이다.

Wireless sensor-actuator networks (WSANs) enhance the existing wireless sensor networks (WSNs) by equipping sensor nodes with an actuator. The actuators work with the sensor nodes and perform application-specific operations. The WSAN systems have several applications such as disaster relief, intelligent building, military surveillance, health monitoring, and infrastructure security. These applications require capability of reliable data transfer to act responsively and accurately. Biologically inspired modeling techniques have received considerable attention for achieving robustness, scalability, and adaptability, while retaining individual simplicity. In this paper, an epidemic-inspired algorithm for data dissemination with delay constraints while minimizing energy consumption in WSAN is proposed. The steady states and system stability are analyzed using control theory. Also, simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme provides desirable dissemination delay and energy saving.

There has been increasing interest in developing Structure Health Monitoring(SHM) system based on wireless sensor network(WSN) due to recent advancement in sensor network technologies. SHM is the continuous monitoring of the condition such a acceleration or load of a structure. The SHM system works, which measure key structure parameters systematically, provide information in evaluation of structure integrity, durability and reliability. Currently SHM system collects data via analog sensor and then sends to analysis application through the wired network. The wire system support high accuracy, but suffers the disadvantages in installation costs, complexity of connection and loss of line. It's also difficult to add new sensor nodes. We design and implement the SHM system based on WSN technology to solve those problems.
