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.

Home-Network is an integrated network of the PC and all electric home appliances in the home so that they can communicate with each other. In the 21th century, here are various technology for Home Network environment such as HomePNA, IEEE 1394, Ethernet Lan and Bluetooth. For Home Network construction, generally, the standard series interface 'RS232' is used to make communication possible between electric home appliances. However Home network using RS232 has a problem. That is, All machines have to be connected to each other with RS232 using Point-to-Point mode. In this case, the system becomes complicated because we have to use circuits as much as there are machines and increased expenses. To improve this problem, In this thesis, designed home network using RS422 Multi-drop mode serial communication and controled it with embedded linux system. And connected RS422 with motors and sensors using PIC to make the home network virtual environment.

SDR(Software Defined Radio)은 여러 세대의 이동 통신 시스템 무선방송 및 다양한 통신 시스템이 존재하는 환경에서 소프트웨어 업그레이드로 무선장치 및 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 효율적인 해결 방안으로 대두되고 있다. SDR 이라는 기술은 하드웨어 수정 없이 모듈화 된 소프트웨어의 변경만으로 단일의 송수신 시스템을 통해 다수의 무선 통신 규격을 통합 수용하는 무선 인터페이스 기술이다[1]. 이러한 기술을 실현하기 위해서는 소프트웨어 다운로드 기술이 매우 중요하게 된다. 왜냐하면 시스템에 프로그램을 다운로딩해서 하드웨어가 Reconfiguration 되어 사용자가 원하는 대로 시스템이 셋팅이 될 수 있어야 하기 때문이다. 소프트웨어 다운로드 방법에는 크게 공중파를 이용하는 방법, 컴팩트한 이동식 디바이스로부터 다운로딩 받는 방법, 전화나 케이블 서비스 등을 통해 근거리/원거리 호스트 서버로부터 소프트웨어를 다운로딩 받는 방법, 네트워크를 통해서 소프트웨어를 다운로드 하는 방법 등이 있다[2]. 이 중에서 본 논문에서는 SDR을 위한 임베디드 시스템을 구현 하였고, 리눅스 포팅을 하였으며 스마트 카드를 이용한 소프트웨어 다운로드 방범을 제시함으로써 SDR 의미 구현을 시도해 보았다.

Sensor networks are an emerging area of mobile computing. Networked sensors represent a new design paradigm enabled by advances in micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and low power technology. Created with integrated circuit (IC) technology and combined with computational logic, these 'smart' sensors have the benefit of small size, low cost and power consumption, and, the capability to perform on-board computation. Though this recent technological innovation has shown a significant promise in many application domains, it has also exposed several technical limitations that must be improved. In this paper, we discuss the system deploy issues for infrared thermo sensor camera calibration.

Telemedicine uses common technologies that provide a conduit for information exchange between physicians nurses and patients. In addition to patient records, medical professionals can obtain vital signs and other reference data through telemedicine applications. also, recent advancement in RF technology and wireless communications has enabled the development of Ubiquitous networks. Mobile telemedicine involves more than just communicating via mobile phone of PDA that sends and receives medical data on Portable Internet. this paper describes the design of a mobile telemedicine PDA prototype based on Embedded Linux that can be used to monitor the medical information using a single board computer(SBC). This system would be very useful for patients with chronic illness, especially in an emergent environment, and for containing medical cost in the aged society.

In this paper, we describes the development of Bluetooth network Access Point(AP) for the access network connection of Bluetooth devices at home. Unlike headset, mouse, and keyboard, the AP should have capability to support multiple connection and stabilized network throughput. Our AP allows various kinds of Bluetooth terminals to access the access network like xDSL and PSTN(Public Swithced Telephone Network) stably. Especially, users can access the PSTN at home instead of expensive CDMA network through the AP by using the one-phone which is the cellular phone with the Bluetooth module.

A simple, accurate, secure, long-lasting, and portable hybrid positioning system is proposed and designed in this paper. It consists of a lighting LED that generates visible light data corresponding to position information of a target and a Zigbee wireless network communication module with low power, security, and service area expansion characteristics. Under an indoor environment where there is 23.62m distance between an observer and the target, the presented hybrid positioning system is tested and is verified with the functions of Zigbee three hop wireless networking and visible light communication (VLC) scheme. The test results are analyzed and discussed.
