For the efficient routing on a Sensor Network, one may consider a deployment problem to interconnect the sensor nodes optimally. There is an analogous theoretic problem: the Steiner Tree problem of finding the tree that interconnects given points on a plane optimally. One may use the approximation algorithm for the problem to find out the deployment that interconnects the sensor nodes almost optimally. However, the Steiner Tree problem is to interconnect mathematical set of points on a Euclidean plane, and so involves particular cases that do not occur on Sensor Networks. Thus the approach of using the algorithm does not make a proper way of analysis. Differently from the randomly given locations of mathematical points on a Euclidean plane, the locations of sensors on Sensor Networks are assumed to be physically dispersed over some moderate distance with each other. By designing an approximation algorithm for the Sensor Networks in terms of that physical property, one may produce the execution time and the approximation ratio to the optimality that are appropriate for the problem of interconnecting Sensor Networks.

최근에는 정지궤도위성에도 지구센서 대신 별추적기를 탑재하는 추세이다. 별추적기의 경우 태양이나 지구와 같은 밝은 물체가 시야각에 들어올 경우 자세결정을 수행할 수 없기 때문에 별추적기 최적 배치를 위한 해석이 요구된다. 그런데, 정지궤도위성의 경우 24시간을 주기로 태양이 적도면을 회전하고 또한 동지와 하지를 최대로 하여 적도면과 23.5도의 기울기를 갖고 있기 때문에 별추적기 배치에 많은 제한이 발생한다. 별추적기 성능을 최적으로 얻기 위해서는 탑재되는 광학계가 서로 직각이 되어야 하지만 태양 위치에 따른 제한으로 인해 직각이 될 수 없으며 이 경우 성능은 약간의 손실을 감수하면서 항상 태양을 회피하기 위한 최적 각을 적용하거나 태양이 들어올 경우만 성능 손실을 감수하면서 이외의 경우에 별추적기 최적의 성능을 얻고자 하는 방법이 있을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 방법들에 대한 해석을 수행하여 최적 각을 소개하였고, 다중머리 별추적기를 대상으로 해석을 수행하였다. 다중머리 별추적기는 하나의 전장품에 광학계가 여러 개 장착되는 제품으로 최근에 우주이력(heritage)를 갖기 시작하였다.

Inertial sensors are important components of navigation system whose performance and reliability can be improved by specific sensor arrangement configuration. For the reliability of the system, Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) is conducted by comparing each signal of arranged sensors and many arrangement configuration were suggested to optimize FDI performance of the system. In this paper, multiple conic configuration is suggested with optimal navigation condition and its FDI performance is analyzed by established Figure Of Merit (FOM) under the condition for navigation optimality. From FOM comparison, the multiple conic configuration is superior to former one in point of FDI.

A structure-control combined optimal design problem is discussed taking a 3-D truss structure as a design object. We use descriptor forms for a controlled object and a generalized plant because the structural parameters appear naturally in these forms. We consider not only minimum weight design problem for structure system, but also suppression problem of the effect of disturbances for control system as the purpose of the design. A numerical example shows the validity of combined optimal design of structure and control systems. We also consider the validity of sensor-actuator collocation for control system design in this paper.

유비쿼터스 환경에 대한 관심이 증폭됨에 따라, 센서는 다양한 어플리케이션들에서 점점 더 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 센서 시스템에서, 최소 개의 센서를 가지고 대상 공간이 복수 개의 센서에 의해 완전히 센싱되게 하기 위해서는, 센서를 어디에 배치하느냐가 중요한 문제이다. 또한 복수 개의 센서에 의해 센싱된 데이터로부터 의미 있는 정보를 추출하기 위해서는 센서 서로 간의 거리가 너무 가까워서는 안 된다. (최소거리 요건). 이를 위하여 우리는 TRE-based approach 라고 하는, 최소거리 요건을 만족하며 3-coverage 문제를 해결하는 방법을 제안하며, 이를 기반으로 3-coverage 문제를 3 차원으로 확장시킬 때 가능한 센싱 coverage 모델과 그 확장 가능성에 대해 논의한다.

센서 네트워크(Sensor Network)는 항공기(Aircraft)로 살포되는 센서 노드(Sensor Node)들로 구성된다. 자연적인 장애물 즉, 바람, 나무 등이나 빌딩과 같은 조형물로 인해 적절한 위치에 센서 노드들이 배치되지 못하여 불필요한 에너지 소비와 전송 지연 등이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 기존 논문에서 사용하던 고정 노드(Static Node) 뿐만 아니라 이동 노드(Mobile Node)를 센서 필드(Sensor Field)에 배치 할 것이다. 각 센서 노드의 정보를 싱크(Sink)노드가 수집 분석 후 본 논문에서 제시한 제안에 따라 이동 노드 위치 변경하여 센서 네트워크 라우팅(Routing)의 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다.

Sensor deployment makes an effect on not only covering of the interesting area but also reliable data acquisition and efficient resource management of sensor, so that sensors must be deployed at their better place. In traditional static wireless sensor networks, however, it is impossible to deploy the sensors manually when they are distributed in unexploited, hostile, or disaster areas. Therefore, if each sensor has locomotion capability, it can re-deploy itself using the location information of neighbor sensors. In our previous study, we showed that moving sensors to the centroids of their Voronoi polygon is efficient for extending the coverage area. In this paper, we present an improved potential-field-based sensor self-deployment scheme by combining the centroid of Voronoi polygon with the traditional potential-field scheme. Simulation results show that our scheme can achieve higher coverage in shorter time and less movement than the traditional potential-field scheme.

Wireless sensor network (WSN) technology provides a variety of medical and healthcare solutions to assist detection and communication of body conditions. However, data reliability inside WSN might be influenced to healthcare routing protocol due to limited hardware resources of computer, storage, and communication bandwidth. For this reason, we have conducted various wireless communication experiments between nodes using parameters such as RF strength, battery status, and deployment status to get a optimal performance of mobile healthcare routing protocol. This experiment may also extend the life time of the nodes. Performance analysis is done to obtain some important parameters in terms of distance and reception rate between the nodes. Our experiment results show optimal distance between nodes according to battery status and RF strength, or deployment status and RF strength. The packet reception rate according to deployment status and RF strength of nodes was also checked. Based on this performance evaluation, the optimized sensor node battery and deployment in the developed our mobile healthcare routing protocol were proposed.

We propose a surveillance-alert system based on optimal placements of PDR(Pulsed Doppler Radar) sensors in USN. By using the detection information of moving target from PDR sensor and by considering the covered detection region and geographical property of the strategic area, three optimal placements of sensors are proposed. The proposed placement are named as the grid type, the linear type and the zigzag type. Also, the surveillance alert system based on three sensor placements are developed. The alert level of the proposed surveillance-alert system are 'Perception', 'Caution', 'Warning' and 'Danger' which are decided by the distance change between the moving targets and the command post. The performace of the developed system is verified via outdoor experiments.
