WSN에서 센서 노드는 저전력을 필요로 함으로 에너지 소비를 최소화할 수 있어야 하고 기존의 키관리 방식에서 암호키 검색시간의 절약과 키의 위치정보 추출 방법에 따른 효과적인 암호 키 관리가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 키의 배분 및 저장을 3차원 적인 위치기반 키관리 방식을 적용하여 키관리에 있어서 기존의 위치기반의 형식보다 경로키수를 줄여 센서 노드의 에너지 소비를 줄여 가용성 보장을 할 수 있게 하였다.

Most existing clustering protocols have been aimed to provide balancing the residual energy of each node and maximizing life-time of wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we present the threshold based cluster head replacement strategy for clustering protocols in wireless sensor networks. This protocol minimizes the number of cluster head selection by preventing the cluster head replacement up to the threshold of residual energy. Reducing the amount of head selection and replacement cost, the life-time of the entire networks can be extended compared with the existing clustering protocols. Our simulation results show that our protocol outperformed than LEACH in terms of balancing energy consumption and network life-time.

Due to the development and proliferation of ubiquitous technologies and services, various sensor network applications are being appeared on the stage. The needs for algorithms requiring sensor data fusion and complex signal processing with a high-performance processor such as a digital signal processor are also increased. However, it is difficult to use such processor for the low-power sensor network operating with a battery because of power consumption. This paper proposes a hybrid-type sensor module architecture supporting wakeup/sleep software framework for the wireless sensor node and shows the implemented sensor node platform and performances focused on the energy consumption and wakeup time.

RFID 수동 태그의 동작 원리를 이용하여 USN/WBAN 센서 노드 시스템에 적용 가능한 웨이크 업 회로를 설계하였다. 웨이크 업회로 구성은 크게 전압 체배기, 복조기, 상태기계로 구성되었다. 상태 기계에 동작 가능한 전압을 공급하기 위해 전압 체배기는 문턱 전압 제거 방식을 적용한 구조를 사용하였고, 복조기 회로로는 AM 복조기로 구조가 간단한 포락선 검파기 방식을 사용하였다. 전압 체배기에 높은 전압이 인가될 경우 회로가 파괴되는 것을 막기 위해 제한 회로를 구성하여 최대 전압을 2.1V로 제한하였다. 또한 복조기에서는 안정적인 데이터 복조를 위해 비교기의 기준전압을 입력신호의 평균값을 사용한 슈미트 트리거 비교기를 사용하여 안정적으로 데이터를 추출하였다. 삼성 0.18um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 설계하였고, 측정 결과 전압 체배기의 체배 전압은 2.07~1.76V까지 체배 되는 것을 확인하였고, 복조기의 데이터 복조 역시 약 4M의 거리까지 데이터를 복조함을 확인하였다.

In ubiquitous sensor networks(USNs), various sensing devices deployed in wireless sensor networks collect meaningful data from physical environments and the data are delivered to neighbor node through radio interfaces for further processing. In this processing, efficiently using of the limited source of low power and low cost is USNs on the point of energy consumption. In this paper, we measure and analyze the power consumption of LR-WPAN.

현재 센서네트워크 분야는 여러 방면에서 이슈가 되고 있다. 해양 센서네크워크는 지상에서의 전파를 사용할 수 없으므로 음향(Acoustic)파를 사용한다. 일정거리만큼만 음파가 도달하는 환경에서 원하는 노드를 찾아가는 최적화 문제는 NP complete한 TSP 문제이다. 최적경로를 찾았을 경우 음파의 에너지 손실 또한 저전력으로 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 최적탐색기법인 유전자알고리즘을 사용하여 목적노드를 찾기위한 최적경로를 시뮬레이션 해 보았다.

Recently, wireless sensor network(WSN) have been used in various fields to implement ubiquitous computing environment. WSN uses small, low cost and low power sensors in order to collect information from the sensor field. This paper proposes a clustering algorithm for energy efficiency of sensor nodes. The proposed algorithm is based on conventional LEACH, the representative clustering protocol for WSN and it prolongs network and nodes life time using sleep technique and changable transmission mode. The nodes of the proposed algorithm first calculate their clustering participation value based on the distance to the neighbor nodes. The nodes located in high density area will have clustering participation value and it can turn to sleep mode. Besides, proposed algorithm can change transmission method from conventional single-hop transmission to multi-hop transmission according to the energy level of cluster head. Simulation results show that the proposed clustering algorithm outperforms conventional LEACH, especially non-uniformly deployed network.

Sensor networks consist of sensor nodes with small size, low cost, lowpower consumption, and multi-functions to sense, to process and to communicate. The main issue in sensor networks has been focused on minimizing power consumption of sensors to maximize network life time. In some critical applications, however, the most important issue is to transmitsensing information to the end user (the sink node) with reliability. Reliable information forwarding using multiple paths in sensor networks (ReinForM) has been proposed to achieve desired reliability in the error-prone channel, but it needs increasing transmission riverhead as the channel error rate becomes high and the number of hops between the source node and the sink node increases. In this paper, we propose a reliable transmission rnechanissmusing intermediate source nodes in sensor networks (ReTrust) to reduce packet overhead while keeping the desired reliability. ReTrust has beenshown to provide desired reliability and reduced overhead via simulationsand analysis.

This paper describes implementation of the 1.9GHz RF frequency synthesizer with $0.18{\mu}m$ silicon CMOS technology being used as an application of the USN sensor node transceiver modules. To get good performance of speed and noise, design of the each module like VCO, prescaler, 1/N divider, fractional divider with ${\Sigma }-{\Delta}$ modulator, and common circuits of the PLL has been optimized. Especially to get good performance of speed, power consumption, and wide tuning range, N-P MOS core structure has been used in design of the VCO. The chip area including pads for testing is $1.2{\times}0.7mm^2$, and the chip area only core for IP in SoC is $1.1{\times}0.4mm^2$. The test results show that there is no special spurs except -63.06dB of the 6MHz reference spurs in the PLL circuitry. There is good phase noise performance like -116.17dBc/Hz in 1MHz offset frequency.

This paper describes implementation of the 5.0GHz RF frequency synthesizer with $0.18{\mu}m$ silicon CMOS technology being used as an application of the IEEE802.15.4 USN sensor node transceiver modules. To get good performance of speed and noise, design of the each module like VCO, prescaler, 1/N divider, fractional divider with ${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$ modulator, and common circuits of the PLL has been optimized. Especially to get good performance of speed, power consumption, and wide tuning range, N-P MOS core structure has been used in design of the VCO. The chip area including pads for testing is $1.1*0.7mm^2$, and the chip area only core for IP in SoC is $1.0*0.4mm^2$. Through comparing and analysing of the designed two kind of the frequency synthesizer, we can conclude that if we improve a litter characteristics there is no problem to use their as IPs.
