Wireless sensor networks have emerged as one of the key enabling technologies for ubiquitous computing since wireless intelligent sensor nodes connected by short range communication media serve as a smart intermediary between physical objects and people in ubiquitous computing environment. We recognize the wireless sensor network as a massively distributed and deeply embedded system. Such systems require concurrent and asynchronous event handling as a distributed system and resource-consciousness as an embedded system. Since the operating environment and architecture of wireless sensor networks, with the seemingly conflicting requirements, poses unique design challenges and constraints to developers, we propose a very new operating system for sensor nodes based on finite state machine. In this paper, we clarify the design goals reflected from the characteristics of sensor networks, and then present the heart of the design and implementation of a compact and efficient state-driven operating system, SenOS. We describe how SenOS can operate in an extremely resource constrained sensor node while providing the required reactivity and dynamic reconfigurability with low update cost. We also compare our experimental results after executing some benchmark programs on SenOS with those on TinyOS.

Wireless sensor networks consist of small, autonomous devices with wireless networking capabilities. In order to further increase the applicability in real world applications, minimizing energy consumption is one of the most critical issues. Therefore, accurate energy model is required for the evaluation of wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we analyze the energy consumption for wireless sensor networks. To estimate the lifetime of sensor node, we have measured the energy characteristics of sensor node based on Telosb platforms running TinyOS. Based on the proposed model, the estimated lifetime of a battery powered sensor node can use about 6.925 months for 10 times motion detection per hour.

The life-time and performance of a wireless sensor network is closely related to energy-efficiency of sensor nodes. In this paper, to increase energy-efficiency, each sensor node operates in one of three operational modes which are normal, power-saving, and inactive. In normal mode sensor nodes sense and transmit data with normal period, whereas sensor nodes in power-saving mode have three-times longer period. In inactive mode, sensor nodes do not sense and transmit any data, which makes the energy consumption to be minimized. Plus, the proposed algorithm can avoid unnecessary energy consumption by preventing transmitting duplicate sensed data. We implemented and simulated the proposed algorithm using Tiny OS based ZigbeX platfom and NS-2, respectively. Performance evaluation results show that the proposed algorithm can prolong sensor networks' lifespan by efficiently reducing energy consumption and its standard deviation of all sensor nodes.

TinyOS기반 무선센서노드를 사용한 실시간 계측 데이터 측정 및 제어기술은 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크 분야에 주로 사용되어 왔으나 다양한 응용이나 신뢰성 있는 무선 네트워크 연구 개발에 한계가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 ATMega128L을 장착한 최소 8대 이상의 nano-24 센서 노드모듈과 메모리 용량이 매우 제한적인 무선 센서 노드에 적합하다고 평가받고 있는 Nano-Q+를 사용하여 전시물 주변의 환경 정보를 실시간 측정하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 전시물 주변의 센서들은 하나의 PAN Coordinator를 중심으로 Start-Mesh 네트워크를 구성하여 환경 정보를 측정한다. 환경 정보를 전송 하기 위해 측정된 계측 데이터를 센서 네트워크의 PAN Coordinator 노드로부터 환경 모니터링 서버로 효율적으로 전송하기 위한 TCP기반 전송 프로그램을 구현하였다. 실험 결과 센서 노드 수와 관련된 PAN의 크기 및 샘플링 주기에 상관없이 안정적으로 계측 데이터 수신이 이루어짐을 확인 하였다.

In the sensor network, a lot of sensor nodes are scattered sparsely and organizes a united communication network between each node. After that, environmental information around each sensor node are gathered and analyzed. Because each node operates under resource constraint, the efficiency and hardware specification of a node should be maximized. There exist technical constraints until now but recent technical progress in IC fabrication and wireless network enables to construct a tiny embedded system, which has the properties of low cost, low power consumption, multi functions. Wireless sensor network becomes a modern research field with technical improvements, is studied in numerous laboratories, and is called as diverse different project names - Wireless Integrated Network Sensors (WINS), Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET), Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN). TinyOS is one of leading project and is widely used. In this paper, we suggest a sensor network, which uses TinyOS platforms and aims for context awareness in a home environment.

In this paper, we designed the authentication system for home network service and applied it to actual sensor nodes. The pair-wise pre-distribution key skim is applied for prevention of authentication key from sniffing on the wireless sensor networks. The authentication key and data are encrypted by using the CBC mode RC5 algorithm based on the SPINS. The experimental environment consists of a base station (BS)and sensor nodes and each sensor node sends both sensing data and the encrypted authentication key to the BS. For simulations we set up some what-if scenarios of security menaces in home network service.Slightly modified the TOS_Msg data arrays of TinyOS is suggested to store 8-byte authentication key which can enable data encryption and authentication at the each sensor node. As a result, malfunction caused by communication between BS and nodes of other groups of added nodes having malicious purpose can be protected. Also, we confirmed that a critical data of home networking service like vital signal can be transmitted securely through this system by encryption technique.

When both types of periodic and aperiodic tasks are required to run on a sensor node platform with limited energy resources, we propose an energy-efficient hybrid task scheduling technique that guarantees the deadlines of real-time tasks and provides non-real-time tasks with good average response time. The proposed hybrid task scheduling technique achieved better performance than existing EDF-based DVS scheduling techniques available in the literature, the FIFO-based TinyOS scheduling technique, and the task-clustering based non-preemptive real-time scheduling technique.
