As the number of IoT devices increases, power management of the cluster head, which acts as a gateway between the cluster and sink nodes in the IoT network, becomes crucial. Particularly when the cluster head is a mobile wireless terminal, the power consumption of the IoT network must be minimized over its lifetime. In addition, the delay of information transmission in the IoT network is one of the primary metrics for rapid information collecting in the IoT network. In this paper, we propose a low-power buffer management algorithm that takes into account the information transmission delay in an IoT network. By forwarding or skipping received packets utilizing deep Q learning employed in deep reinforcement learning methods, the suggested method is able to reduce power consumption while decreasing transmission delay level. The proposed approach is demonstrated to reduce power consumption and to improve delay relative to the existing buffer management technique used as a comparison in slotted ALOHA protocol.

사물인터넷 (IoT) 기술의 발전으로 최근 많은 가전제품 및 전자 제품들이 IoT 기술과 결합되어 출시되고 있으며, 전원을 연결하는데 사용되는 멀티탭 또한 IoT 기술이 접목된 제품이 나오고 있다. IoT 멀티탭은 전원 on/off 를 원격으로 제어 할 수 있어서 사용자 편의성을 더욱 높여주었다. 그러나, 현재 출시된 IoT 멀티탭 제품들은 각 구별 제어가 불가능하고 대기전력 차단 기능이 미흡하여 절전 기능이 빈약하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 멀티탭의 각 구를 개별 조작할 수 있고, 대기전력을 측정 및 차단 기능을 제공함으로써 전력 낭비를 줄일 수 있는 IoT 멀티탭을 제안한다.

Recently, as the interest in power saving increases with the development of IoT technology, research on power saving of smart devices, which are being miniaturized, is being actively conducted. In particular, due to the diversification of IoT-based smart devices and the increase in personal penetration rate, the issue of standby power even when not in use is increasing. However, there is a drawback of physically unplugging the outlet or turning off the power in order to substantially reduce standby power. Since Zigbee is used instead of the existing IP, it is necessary to change to the IoT standard protocol based on the Internet network. Therefore, this paper designed and implemented the standby power saving system applying CoAP, the IoT standard protocol, to the existing Zigbee technology. Existing systems and evaluations confirmed that the average standby power of about 8.4Wh was reduced.

There are many types of power facilities such as transformers, switches, and energy storage devices in the micro grid environment. However, with the development of IoT technology, opportunities to acquire sensor information such as temperature, pressure, and humidity are provided. In the existing micro grid environment, the communication protocols such as MMS transport protocol in IEC 61850 standard is applied in accordance with the integrated operation between the power facilities and the platform. Therefore, to accommodate IoT data, a gateway technology that can link IoT data to a data collection device (FEP) based on IEC 61850 is required. In this paper, we propose IEC 61850 based IoT gateway platform prototype for microgrid operating system linkage. The gateway platform consists of an IoT protocol interface module (MQTT, CoAP, AMQP) and database, IEC 61850 server. For databases, We used open source based NoSQL databases, Hbase and MongoDB, to store JSON data. We verified the interoperability between the IoT protocol and the IEC 61850 protocol using Sisco's MMS EASY Lite.

Due to the IT convergence trend, many industrial domains are developing their own IoT services. With batteries and lightweight devices, IoT could expand into various fields including smart farms, smart environments, and smart energy. Many battery-powered IoT devices are passive in enforcing security techniques to maintain service time. This is because security technologies such as cryptographic operations consume a lot of power, so applying them reduces service maintenance time. This vulnerable IoT device security environment is not stable. In order to provide safe IoT services, security techniques considering battery power consumption are required. In this study, we propose an IoT device authentication technology that minimizes power consumption. The proposed technology is a device authentication function based on the Diffie-Hell man algorithm, and has the advantage that malicious attackers cannot masquerade the device even if salt is leaked during the transmission section. The battery power consumption of the authentication technology proposed in this study and the ID/PW-based authentication technology was compared. As a result, it was confirmed that the authentication technique proposed in this study consumes relatively little power. If the authentication technique proposed in this study is applied to IoT devices, it is expected that a safer IoT security environment can be secured.

Battery-operated IoT devices in IoT systems require low power consumption. In general, IoT devices enter a sleep state synchronously to reduce power consumption. A problem arises when an IoT device has to handle asynchronous user requests, as the duty cycle must be reduced to enhance response time. In this paper, we propose a new low-power-consumption scheme, called Repetitive Wake-up scheme for IoT systems of asynchronous environments such as indoor lights control. The proposed scheme can reduce power consumption by sending wake-up signals from the smartphone repetitively and by retaining the IoT device in sleep state to the smallest possible duty cycle. In the various environments with IoT devices at home or office space, we showed that the proposed scheme can reduce power consumption by up to five times compared to the existing synchronous interlocking technique.

This paper presents a smart parking guidance system based on IoT car-stoppers. The car-stopper embedding an IoT sensor module has the advantage of easy installation compared to conventional parking sensors buried in ground. The parking status data are transferred to the IoT gateway by the sequential point-to-point communication between the car-stoppers. The data transferred from the IoT gateway are stored in the web server, and parking spaces can be monitored remotely through the Android app in a smart device. An active/sleep cycle method using a watch dog timer is employed to reduce the power consumption of the battery powered car-stopper. The power consumption of the car-stopper is measured to be 80 and 25 mW at the active and sleep mode, respectively. A configuration of ultra-low-power IoT sensor module is proposed to minimize the power consumption in the sleep mode. The operation of the implemented system has been verified in a real-world parking lot.

최근 전 세계적으로 IoT(Internet of Things) 기술이 활발히 연구되고 있다. IoT 환경은 임베디드나 센서 등의 시스템에 적용되는 경우가 많다. 그 특성으로 인해, 적용된 장치들은 경량화되기 때문에 통신을 위한 프로토콜로 UDP 기반 프로토콜을 많이 사용한다. UDP 기반 프로토콜은 TCP 기반 프로토콜보다 보안 기능이 미비하므로 UDP 상에서도 보안 기능을 제공해 줄 수 있는 DTLS(Datagram Transport Layer Security)가 권고된다. 하지만 DTLS는 저전력 IoT 환경을 고려하여 만들어진 프로토콜이 아니다. 그래서 저전력 IoT 환경에서 사용하기에는 힘들다. 하지만 HIGHT(HIGh security and light weigHT) 알고리즘을 사용하면 보안적인 측면을 고려하면서도 DTLS의 알고리즘인 AES(Advanced Encryption Standard)의 높은 에너지 소모량이 해결된다. 본 논문에서는 보안 측면을 고려하면서 에너지 효율까지 고려한 KISA(Korea Internet & Security Agency, 한국인터넷진흥원)의 HIGHT 암호화 알고리즘을 기반으로 DTLS를 경량화하여 저전력 기기에서 적용할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다.
