In this paper, a ZigBee-based wireless sensor network is configured for the robot to effectively communicate with the environment platform where sensor nodes are implemented using high performance microcontrollers. The localization and the navigation functions are also required to the robot which performs the given task using various types of sensor information. A new type of ZigBee stack is developed using the RUM(Router Under MAC) of the Atmel Corp. and it is applied to a 32-bit ARM core microcontroller for the high performance sensor data manipulation and transmission. It is verified by experiments that the wireless sensor network consisting of developed high performance sensor nodes can be effectively used for the robot environment platform.

This paper proposes the USN node location recognition method with low power, which is the modified centroid method. The conventional Zigbee node location recognition is used to the three RSSI values from three beacons, respectively. When a person move with node, the moving speed of USN node doesn't fast. Therefore, one among three positions used to the value that it is a previous value. This method doesn't large the error in terms of the exact position. Using hand-off method, we get about 30% power advantage than the conventional centroid method. And Our monitoring system add the function that it is possible to search for the node region by color.

최근 무선 통신의 발달과 임베디드 시스템의 확산으로 주변 상황을 감지하고 통신할 수 있는 저전력 장치인 무선 센서 네트워크에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 무선 센서 네트워크를 구성하는 노드들 간의 동기화, 순서화, 그리고 일관성 유지를 위하여 시간 동기화는 반드시 필요하다. 하지만 지난 20여 년간 연구되어진 분산 시스템에서의 시간 동기화 방법들은 풍부하지 않은 자원과 에너지 소모 등을 고려해야 하는 무선 센서 네트워크의 특성상 그대로 적용하기에는 어려운 점이 많다. 이에 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크에서의 누적 시간 정보를 이용한 시간 동기화 방법을 제안한다. 무선 브로드캐스트의 특성을 활용하여 시간 동기화의 제약 조건을 완화하여 높은 정확성을 제공하면서 한 번의 브로드캐스트 메시지만으로 시간을 동기화함으로써 에너지 손실을 최소화하였다. 이를 위해 송신자-수신자 방식의 구조에서 송신자는 시간 동기화를 위한 시간 정보를 브로드캐스트하고, 수신자는 누적된 시간 정보를 통해 편차와 편차율을 계산하여 송신자의 시간을 추정하고 동기화된 시간인 가상 시간을 계산하였다. 전체 센서노드들의 시간이 동기화할 수 있음을 분석하고 실험을 통해 효율성을 확인하였다.

Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) is constituted by low-cost and low-energy, So the most important issue is that the task of the sensor performs successfully by using less energy. In previous WSN, determination of the header and gathering sensor data solution by header give great affection to the performance of network. In this paper, we propose a Hybrid transmission method which considers the direction of data collections. In the proposed hybrid routing method, all of the sensors determine that transmission the data to the sink node directly or indirectly using the head node depend on the location of the head node in the cluster. The performance is compared with the LEACH(Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) by experimental analysis. The results show that the preposed method can reduce the communication distance and energy consumption by avoiding the detour direction of transmission of the data.

In this paper, an energy efficient clustering scheme using self organization method is proposed. The proposed scheme selects a cluster head considering not only the number of neighbor nodes but also the residual battery amount. In addition, the network life time is extended by re-selecting the cluster heads only in case the current cluster head's residual energy falls down below a certain threshold level. Accordingly, the energy consumption is evenly distributed over the entire network nodes. The cluster head delivers the collected data from member nodes to a Sink node in a way of multi-hop relaying. In order to evaluate the proposed scheme, we run computer simulation in terms of the total residual amount of battery, the number of alive nodes after a certain amount of time, the accumulated energy cost for network configuration, and the deviation of energy consumption of all nodes, comparing with LEACH which is one of the most popular network clustering schemes. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme has twice network life-time of LEACH scheme and has much more evenly distributed energy consumption over the entire network.

The Wireless sensor network(WSN) consisting of a large number of sensors aims to gather data in a variety of environments. The sensor nodes operate on battery of limited power. so, To extend network life time is major goals of research in the WSN. In this paper, we state the key point of a energy consumption with minimum&load balancing. The proposed protocol guarantee balance of number of cluster member nodes using the node memory threshold and optimization of distribution of cluster head using the optimized clustering method. The results show that the proposed protocol could support the load balancing and high energy efficiency by distributing the clusters with a reasonable number of member nodes. The simulation results show that our schme ensure longer life time in WSN as compare with existing schemes such as LEACH and CBLM.

This paper suggests the novel light-weight signal processing algorithm for wireless sensor network applications which needs low computing complexity and power consumption. Exponential average method (EA) is utilized by real time, to process the magnetometer signal which is analyzed to understand the own physical characteristic in time domain. EA provides the robustness about noise, magnetic drift by temperature and interference, furthermore, causes low memory consumption and computing complexity for embedded processor. Hence, optimal parameter of proposal algorithm is extracted by statistical analysis. Using general and precision magnetometer, detection probability over 90% is obtained which restricted by 5% false alarm rate in simulation and using own developed magnetometer H/W, detection probability over 60~70% is obtained under 1~5% false alarm rate in simulation and experiment.

An accurate positioning estimation in the wireless sensor networks (WSN) is very important in which each sensor node is aware of neighbor conditions. The multi-hop positioning estimation technique is considered as one of the suitable techniques for the WSN with many low power devices. However geographical holes, where there is no sensor node, may severely decrease the positioning accuracy so that the positioning error can be beyond the tolerable range. Therefore in this paper, we analyze error factors of DV-hop and hole effect to obtain node's accurate position. The proposed methods include boundary node detection, distance level adjustment, and unreliable anchor elimination. The simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve higher positioning accuracy using the hole detection and enhanced distance calculation methods compared with the conventional DV-hop.
