태양 에너지 수집형 무선 센서 네트워크는 지속해서 에너지를 수집할 수 있어 배터리 기반 센서 네트워크의 에너지 제약 문제를 완화할 수 있지만, 고정된 싱크의 사용으로 싱크 주변에 존재하는 노드들이 상대적으로 에너지 소비가 증가하는 문제, 즉 에너지 사용 불균형 문제는 해결하지 못한다. 최근의 연구에서는 클러스터링을 기반으로 한 모바일 싱크를 도입하여 이를 해결하고자 했지만, 클러스터 헤드 및 그 주변 노드들의 에너지 부담은 여전히 존재한다. 한편, 무선 전력 전송 기술 발전에 따라 무선 센서 네트워크에서 모바일 싱크를 이용한 무선 전력 전송의 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 무선 전력 전송이 가능한 모바일 싱크와 효율적인 클러스터링 기법(클러스터 헤드 선출 포함)을 이용하여 에너지 불균형 문제를 최소화하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 클러스터 헤드 및 헤드 주변 노드의 에너지 핫 스팟이 완화됨으로, 전체 네트워크의 정전 노드들이 감소하고 수집된 데이터양이 증가한 것을 성능평가를 통해 확인할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크(Wireless Sensor Network, WSN) 환경에 배치되어 물리적 데이터를 감지하는 각 센서들의 데이터를 수집을 위한 싱크(Sink)가 일정 주기로 이동 및 재배치되는 싱크 마이그레이션(Migration) 과정에 있어 다음 배치 위치를 효율적으로 선정하기 위해 클러스터 헤드(Cluster Head, CH)를 기준으로 영역 검색 단계를 추가하여 재배치 정확성 및 효율성 증대 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 WSN 환경을 바탕으로 싱크 재배치 과정에 해당 기법을 적용하여 시뮬레이션 하였으며, 해당 실험의 결과에 따르면 싱크 재배치의 정확성 및 효율성 증대로 전체 영역에 대한 고른 데이터 수집 및 소모 에너지 균형이 향상되었다.

In data collection using a mobile sink, the time that sensor nodes are included in its communication radius is not uniform. The data collection schedule in non-uniform time is needed between a mobile sink and sensor nodes for efficient data collection. The existing data collection schemes using a mobile sink considered staying time in its communication range and data collected by the mobile sink. However, they did not consider the characteristics of data collected in sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a TDMA based schedule scheme that consists of the data collection period by each sensor nodes and the data collection period between a mobile sink and sensor nodes. Moreover, we propose a data collection scheme considering the variability of data in sensor networks. The proposed data collection scheme collects only data that changed larger than the threshold set by the user. In order to show the superiority of the proposed scheme, we compare it with DWEDF that aims to collect data uniformly. As a result, our experimental results show that the proposed scheme reduces about 23% energy consumption and the data collection failure of sensor nodes over the DWEDF.

The natural convection heatsink is the most commonly used cooling device, especially for high-power LED lights, because of its reliability and low long-term cost. High power LED lights are generally used in an inclined configuration for street lamps and security lamps. However, it was difficult to estimate the thermal performance of an inclined heatsink, because the results from previous studies are not applicable to the inclined configuration. In this study, we measured the thermal performance of an inclined cylindrical heatsink with plate fins. Various fin numbers, fin heights, base temperatures, and inclination angles ($30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$) were examined. Based on the experimental results, the Nusselt number correlation is presented. This correlation is applicable when the Rayleigh number, ratio of the fin height to cylinder diameter, and fin number are in the ranges 100,000-600,000, 1/6-1/2, and 9-72, respectively.

This study discusses numerically-explored thermal performances of hybrid fin heat sinks (HF HSs) for lightweight thermal management of LED modules under natural convection. A hollow hybrid fin heat sink (HHF HS) and a solid hybrid fin heat sink (SHF HS) are proposed as HF HSs. A 3-D CFD analysis has been carefully conducted to obtain reliable numerical results. The 3-D CFD study investigates the effects of both fin spacing and an internal channel diameter on performances of the HHF HS and the SHF HS. The study results show that the mass-based thermal resistance of the HHF HS is 20~32% smaller compared with the pin fin heat sink (PF HS). The results also show that the mass-based thermal resistance of the HHF HS decreases with the increase of the channel diameter. These results are mainly due to coupled effects of the mass reduction and heat pumping through an internal channel. Considerably superior mass-based thermal performances of the HHF HS to the conventional PF HS suggest the feasible application for the lightweight thermal management of the LED modules under natural convection.

In this paper, we propose a new location service and location-based routing for data dissemination from a source to a mobile group sink in less energy consumption of the sensor node. Unlike the existing protocols, the proposed protocol uses a leader sink instead of a group area as the location information to represent a mobile sink group. The proposed protocol also uses grid leaders on virtual grid structure to support sink mobility in location service. By using a leader sink as a representative and grid leaders for mobility supporting, the proposed protocol can exploit an efficient hierarchical location service and data dissemination method without using flooding. Accordingly, the proposed protocol carries out upper layer location services and data dissemination between a leader sink and a source and lower layer location services and data dissemination between the leader sink and member sinks. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed protocol achieves energy-efficiency.

This paper proposes an algorithm that forms the clusters on the basis of hop distance in order to improve the actor coverage and connectivity in the sink-based wireless sensor and actor networks. The proposed algorithm forms the clusters that are distributed evenly in the target area by electing the CHs(Cluster Heads) at regular hop intervals from a sink. The CHs are elected sequentially from the sink in order to ensure the connectivity between the sink and the actors that are located on the CHs. Additionally, the electing are achieved from the area of the higher rate of the sensors density in order to improve the actor coverage. The number of clusters that are created in the target area and the number of the actors that are placed on the positions of the CHs are reduced by forming the clusters with regular distribution and minimizing the overlap of them through the proposed algorithm. Simulations are performed to verify that the proposed algorithm constructs the actor network that is connected to the sink. Moreover, we shows that the proposed algorithm improves the actor coverage and, therefore, reduces the amount of the actors that will be deployed in the region by 9~20% compared to the IDSC algorithm.

Many dissemination protocols on the mobility support in wireless sensor networks have been designed based on the assumption that the movement trace of sinks, such as soldiers and fire fighters, is random. However, the mobility of the sinks in many applications, for example, the movement trace of a soldier on operation in a battle field, can be determined in advance. In this paper, we propose a Predictable Mobility-based Data Dissemination protocol that enables data to directly route from source nodes to moving sinks by taking into consideration predictable movement behavior of the sinks. We also show the superiority of the predictable mobility-based data dissemination protocol through the performance comparison with the random mobility-based data dissemination protocols.

In recent years, while the importance of thermal management has been emphasized due to smaller electronic products, various materials have been used as heat sink. In this study, porous ceramic heat sink was developed with SiC, successfully separated from the slurry of SiC occurring in solar energy materials industry and the thermal performance of porous SiC heat sink has been compared with those of aluminum heat sink and pure SiC heat sink through experiment. From the experimental results, it was verified that porous recycled SiC heat sink has better thermal performance than aluminum heat sink since its micropores increase the heat transfer area. In addition, the effect of the micropores on thermal performance has been quantified by increasing convective heat transfer coefficient with numerical analysis.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are vulnerable to external intrusions due to the wireless communication characteristics and limited hardware resources. Thus, the attacker can cause sinkhole attack while intruding the network. INSENS is proposed for preventing the sinkhole attack. INSENS uses the three symmetric keys in order to prevent such sinkhole attacks. However, the sinkhole attack occurs again, even in the presence of INSENS, through the compromised node because INSENS does not consider the node being compromised. In this paper, we propose a method to counter the sinkhole attack by considering the compromised node, based on the neighboring nodes' information. The goals of the proposed method are i) network reliability improvement and ii) energy conservation through effective prevention of the sinkhole attack by detecting compromised nodes. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can save up to, on average, 19.90% of energy while increasing up to, on average, 71.50%, the report reliability against internal sinkhole attacks in comparison to INSENS.
