TinyOS 기반 무선 센서 노드를 사용한 실시간 계측 데이터 측정 및 제어 기술은 특히 홈 네트워크 분야에 널리 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ATMegal128L을 장착한 최소 8대 이상의 Micaz Mote 센서 노드 모듈을 사용하여 각 방의 노도 값을 실시간 측정하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 특히 TinyOS에서 제공되는 OscilloscopeRF의 메시지 구조를 분석하여, 각 노드의 ID 및 계측 데이터를 추출하였다. 또한 이렇게 추출된 계측 데이터를 센서 네트워크의 싱크 노드로부터 데이터 통제 센터(Doc)로 효율적으로 전송하기 위한 TCP 기반 네트워크 프로그래밍을 구현하였다. 실험 결과 센서 노드 수 및 샘플링 주기에 상관없이 안정적으로 계측 데이터 수신이 이루어짐을 확인하였다. 한편, IEEE802.11a/g 기반 무선 네트워크를 통해 실시간 계측 상황을 휴대용 단말기인 PDA에서 확인할 수 있도록 이를 구현하였다.

The rapid growth of smart devices demands an enhanced throughput for network connection sustainability during mobility. However, traditional wireless network architecture suffers from mobility management issues. In order to resolve the traditional mobility management issues, we propose a novel architecture for future wireless access network based on software-defined network (SDN) by using the advantage of network function virtualization (NFV). In this paper, network selection approach (NSA) has been introduced for mobility management that comprises of acquiring the information of the underlying networking devices through the OpenFlow controller, percepts the current network behavior and later the selection of an appropriate action or network. Furthermore, mobility-related scenarios and use cases to analyze the implementation aspects of the proposed architecture are provided. The simulation results confirm that the proposed scenarios have obtained a seamless mobility with enhanced throughput at minimum packet loss as compared to the existing IEEE 802.11 wireless network.

UWB(Ultra Wide Band)는 차세대 무선통신 기술로 무선 디지털펄스라고도 한다. GHz대의 주파수를 사용하면서도 초당 수천~수백만 회의 저출력 펄스로 이루어진 것이 큰 특징이다[1]. 기존 무선통신 기술의 양대 축인 IEEE 802.11과 블루투스 등에 비해 속도와 전력소모 등에서 월등히 앞서고 있으며, SoC(System on a Chip)의 저전력 구현에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. OFDM은 크게 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) 블록, Interpolation /decimation 필터 블록, 비터비 블록, 변복조 블록, 등화기 블록 등으로 구성된다. 고속 시스템에서는 대역효율성이 우수한 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 방식을 사용하고 있으며, OFDM 전송방식은 직렬로 입력되는 데이터 열을 병렬 데이터 열로 변환한 후에 부반송파에 실어 전송하는 방식이다. 이와 같은 병렬화와 부반송파를 곱하는 동작은 IFFT와 FFT로 구현이 가능한데, FFT 블록의 구현 비용과 전력소모를 줄이는 것이 핵심사항이라고 할 수 있다. 기존논문에서는 OFDM용 FFT 구조로 단일버터플라이연산자 구조, 파이프라인 구조, 병렬구조 등의 여러 구조가 제안되었다[2]. 본 논문에서는 Radix-8 FFT 알고리즘 기반의 New partial Arithmetic 저전력 FFT 구조를 제안하였다. 제안한 New partial Arithmetic 저전력 FFT구조는 곱셈기 대신 병렬 가산기를 이용 하여 지금까지 사용되는 FFT 구조보다 전력소모를 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.

The environment-friendly building material, photocatalyst/scoria/loess concrete, was prepared using scoria and loess (which have merits as building materials) and photocatalyst (which has the functions to compose the environmental contaminants and of self cleaning). In order to apply this material as a building material, the compressive and flexible strengths, and water absorptivity (which have been set by Korea Industrial Standard) were measured. The optimum mixing ratio of photocatalyst/scoria/loess concrete was obtained at the condition of $393kg/m^3$ of coarse aggregate, $802kg/m^3$ of fine aggregate in case of scoria, $80kg/m^3$ of loess, $12kg/m^3$ of photocatalyst, $400kg/m^3$ of cement, and $2kg/m^3$ of AE water reducing agent. The photocatalyst/scoria/loess concrete prepared by above mixing ratio of raw materials showed 25 MPa of compressive strength, $3.8{\sim}4.6$ MPa of flexible strength and $11.4{\sim}12.0%$ of water absorptivity, indicating that the quality of this material was suitable for Korea Industrial Standard (more than 21 MPa for compressive strength, more than 2.0 MPa for flexible strength in case of lightweight aggregate, and less than 15 % for water absorptivity in case of clay brick) for using as a building material.

IP-based Wireless Sensor Networks (IP-WSNs) are gaining importance for their broad range of applications in health care, home automation, environmental monitoring, industrial control, vehicle telematics, and agricultural monitoring. In all these applications, a fundamental issue is the mobility in the sensor network, particularly with regards to energy efficiency. Because of the energy inefficiency of network-based mobility management protocols, they can be supported via IP-WSNs. In this paper, we propose a network-based mobility-supported IP-WSN protocol called mSFP, or the mSFP: "Multicasting-supported Inter-Domain Mobility Management Scheme in Sensor-based Fast Proxy Mobile IPv6 Networks". Based on [8,20], we present its network architecture and evaluate its performance by considering the signaling and mobility cost. Our analysis shows that the proposed scheme reduces the signaling cost, total cost, and mobility cost. With respect to the number of IP-WSN nodes, the proposed scheme reduces the signaling cost by 7% and the total cost by 3%. With respect to the number of hops, the proposed scheme reduces the signaling cost by 6.9%, the total cost by 2.5%, and the mobility cost by 1.5%. With respect to the number of IP-WSN nodes, the proposed scheme reduces the mobility cost by 1.6%.

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is one of technologies to realize various ITS services for safe driving and efficient traffic control. However, data delivery in VANETs is complicated due to high mobility and unreliable wireless transmission. In this paper, we develop a novel forwarding scheme to deliver packets in a reliable and timely manner. The proposed forwarding scheme uses traffic statistics to predict the encounter of two vehicles, and optimize its forwarding decision by taking into consideration the probability of successful transmission between them at the encounter place. We evaluate our scheme through simulations and show that our proposed scheme provides reliable data delivery in VANETs.

Numerous wearable technology companies have recently developed several headmounted display (HMD) products for virtual reality (VR) services. 5G wireless networks aim at providing high-quality 3D multimedia services such as VR, augmented reality, and mixed reality. In this study, we examine the application of millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology to realize low-latency wireless communication between an HMD and its content server. However, the propagation characteristics of mmWave present several challenges such as the deafness, blockage, and beam alignment problems, and interference among content servers. In this study, we focus on an environment that provides VR services in the mmWave band and introduce existing techniques for addressing such challenges. In addition, we employ a commercialized IEEE 802.11ad VR dongle to measure the actual data rate of an mmWave VR application and identify the degree to which the performance deteriorates when the above problems occur. Finally, we verify the feasibility of the proposed solutions through a simulation of several VR scenarios in the mmWave band.

Wi-Fi STAs in power saving mode described in the Wi-Fi specification can deteriorate the system performance such as throughput, time delay when they receive data frames from a Wi-Fi AP. This problem is caused by data frame reception failure due to the channel state, and it increases re-transmissions. In this paper, we propose a modified power saving mode considering fairness of Wi-Fi system in order to solve the problem. By simulation, we showed that data throughput can be increased without time delay degradation if the proposed method restricting the number of packet transmission attempts and HARQ are used.

OFDM은 제4세대 변조기술로 일컬어지는 방식이다. 이는 최근 유럽에서 디지털 오디오 방송(DAB)과 디지털 비디오 방송(DVB)에 표준이 되었으며, IEEE 802.11a 무선 LAN 에서도 이 방식을 채택했고, ADSL, VDSL 등에서도 사용되어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 OFDM 방식의 핵심이라고 할 수 있는 64포인트 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)하드웨어 프로세서의 여러 가지의 구현된 예를 비교 분석하고, 가장 효율적인 방법인 Radix-2 SDF(Singlepath Delay Feedback)[1] 방법을 개선하여 새로운 구조를 제안하였다. 동일한 속도 성능을 가지는 여러구조 중에서 적은 수의 지연소자를 활용하여 FFT 크기를 작게 한 것이 SDF 방식으로 가장 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SDF 방식이 내부적으로 4개의 복소곱셈기를 필요로 하는데 비해 2개의 복소곱셈기만을 사용하는 구조로 변형하고 컨트롤을 조절하여 새로운 구조를 설계하였다. 구현한 결과, FFT에서 전체 구조의 약 80%를 차지하는 복소곱셈기의 수를 절반으로 줄여 FFT 하드웨어 크기를 SDF 방식의 60% 정도로 줄일 수 있게 되었고, 이러한 구현방식은 64포인트 FFT만이 아닌 더 큰 크기의 FFT를 구현함에 있어서도 동일하게 적용할 수 있으며 현재 국내외에 발표된 논문 중 성능 대 면적비가 가장 우수한 구조이다.
