It is essential to investigate the structure and the main characteristics of BSN (Bio-Sensor Network) platform in built smart healthcare environment while designing healthy housing facilities. For this study, WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) data transmission technologies have been employed with medical sensors, and optimal medical devices would provide various Web 2.0 services by connecting to the WiBro network. The BSN platform normally recognizes in surroundings of WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) or WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network), and it is possible to manage sensor nodes by utilizing SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and REST (REpresentational State Transfer). In addition, the feature of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for mobile gateway is also included for being adapted to huge network structure. Finally, BSN platform will play a role as important clues for developing personal WSN service models for smart healthy housing properties.

A distributed healthcare monitoring system prototype for clinical and trauma patients was developed, using wireless sensor network node. The proposed system aimed to measure various vital physiological health parameters like ECG and body temperature of patients and elderly persons, and transfer his/her health status wirelessly in Ad-hoc network to remote base station which was connected to doctor's PDA/PC or to a hospital's main Server using wireless sensor node. The system also aims to save the cost of healthcare facility for patients and the operating power of the system because sensor network is deployed widely and the distance from sensor to base station was shorter than in general centralized system. The wireless data communication will follow IEEE 802.15.4 frequency communication with ad-hoc routing thus enabling every motes attached to patients, to form a wireless data network to send data to base-station, providing mobility and convenience to the users in home environment.

Wireless body area network (WBAN) is a promising candidate for future health monitoring system. Nevertheless, the path to mature solutions is still facing a lot of challenges that need to be overcome. Energy efficient scheduling is one of these challenges given the scarcity of available energy of biosensors and the lack of portability. Therefore, researchers from academia, industry and health sectors are working together to realize practical solutions for these challenges. The main difficulty in WBAN is the uncertainty in the state of the monitored system. Intelligent learning approaches such as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) were proposed to tackle this issue. A Markov Decision Process (MDP) is a form of Markov Chain in which the transition matrix depends on the action taken by the decision maker (agent) at each time step. The agent receives a reward, which depends on the action and the state. The goal is to find a function, called a policy, which specifies which action to take in each state, so as to maximize some utility functions (e.g., the mean or expected discounted sum) of the sequence of rewards. A partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDP) is a generalization of Markov decision processes that allows for the incomplete information regarding the state of the system. In this case, the state is not visible to the agent. This has many applications in operations research and artificial intelligence. Due to incomplete knowledge of the system, this uncertainty makes formulating and solving POMDP models mathematically complex and computationally expensive. Limited progress has been made in terms of applying POMPD to real applications. In this paper, we surveyed the existing methods and algorithms for solving POMDP in the general domain and in particular in Wireless body area network (WBAN). In addition, the papers discussed recent real implementation of POMDP on practical problems of WBAN. We believe that this work will provide valuable insights for the newcomers who would like to pursue related research in the domain of WBAN.

With the advancement and deployment of wireless communication techniques, wireless body area network (WBAN) has emerged as a promising approach for e-healthcare that collects the data of vital body parameters and movements for sensing and communicating wearable or implantable healthful related information. In order to avoid any possible rancorous attacks and resource abuse, employing lightweight ciphers is most effective to implement encryption, decryption, message authentication and digital signature for security of WBAN. As a typical lightweight cryptosystem with an extended sponge function framework, the PHOTON family is flexible to provide security for the RFID and other highly-constrained devices. In this paper, we propose a differential fault analysis to break three flavors of the PHOTON family successfully. The mathematical analysis and simulating experimental results show that 33, 69 and 86 random faults in average are required to recover each message input for PHOTON-80/20/16, PHOTON-160/36/36 and PHOTON-224/32/32, respectively. It is the first result of breaking PHOTON with the differential fault analysis. It provides a new reference for the security analysis of the same structure of the lightweight hash functions in the WBAN.

Wireless body area network (WBAN)은 인체 주변 영역에서의 통신서비스를 제공한다. WBAN 서비스는 인체 내부에 이식된 의료 응용을 위한 MICS 주파수 대역과 의료 응용과 consumer electronics (CE) 응용 분야 모두를 제공할 수 있는 ISM 주파수 대역에서의 서비스로 이루어지기 때문에 WBAN을 위한 MAC 프로토콜은 의료 응용과 CE 응용간의 상이한 특징과 유연성 (flexibility)을 고려하여 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 WBAN MAC 프로토콜의 요구사항을 확인하고, WBAN의 요구사항을 만족하는 WBAN MAC 프로토콜을 제안한다. WBAN의 다양한 응용을 위한 전송 유연성을 제공하기 위해서 동적 CFP(Contention Free Period) 할당(Dynamic CFP Allocation)을 제안한다. 또한, 경쟁 기반의 긴급 의료 데이터를 발생하는 의료 응용과 때때로 대량의 데이터를 발생하는 CE 응용을 지원하기 위해서 OCDP(opportunistic contention decision period) 구간과 4-mode Opportunity period를 제안하고, 제안한 방안을 이용하여 Inactive period와 Opportunity period를 일시적으로 전환하여 사용할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 다양한 시뮬레이션 결과 IEEE 802.15.4 MAC 프로토콜과 제안하는 WBAN MAC 프로토콜을 비교하였을 때, WBAN 환경에서의 전송 처리량, CFP 이용율, 전송지연 측면에서 증가된 성능 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

최근의 차량 산업은 차량 내 전자장비들을 하나로 묶을 수 있는 네트워크들이 발달되고, 이에 따라 각각의 네트워크간의 통신이 중요시 되고 있다. 현재 차량에 사용되고 있는 네트워크로는 CAN, LIN, MOST, FlexRay 등이 사용되고 있다. 여러 가지 네트워크들이 생겨나면서 네트워크를 이용한 여러 가지 응용들도 생겨나게 되었고, 이로 인해 운전자들도 좀 더 편리한 환경에서 차량을 운전하고자 하는 욕구가 많아지고 있다. 차량내의 다른 네트워크 환경을 하나의 통합된 환경으로 만들어주기 위한 게이트웨이 연구가 활발히 이루어진다면, 보다 많은 응용들이 개발될 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 주로 차량의 Body Train 쪽 제어에 사용되는 CAN bus 네트워크와 인포테인먼트 시스템을 제공해주는 MOST 네트워크간의 게이트웨이를 이용한다. 통신을 통해 CAN Node중의 하나인 차량속도를 MOST Navigation 으로 전송하여 차량이 터널에 진입하여 GPS 정보를 얻어올 수 없을 때도 차량의 현재 속도정보를 Gateway를 통해 Navigation으로 실시간으로 전송하는 기술을 이용하는 차량 자동 안전제어 시뮬레이션 시스템 설계하고 구현하고자 한다.

A momentum backpropagation neural network is prepared to carry out real-time dynamics simulations of a passenger car. A full-car model of fifteen degrees of freedom was constructed for vehicle dynamics analysis. Human body dynamics analysis was performed for a male driver(50 percentile Korean adult) restrained by a three point seatbelt system. The trained data using the neural network were obtained using a dynamic solver, ADAMS . The neural network were formed based on the dynamics of the simulator. The optimized hidden layer was obtained by selecting the optimal number of hidden layers. The driving scenario including bump passing and lane changing has been used for the estimation of the proposed neural network. A comparison between the trained data and neural network outputs is found to be satisfactory to show the applicability of the suggested approach.

본 논문에서는 의료용 In-Body Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) 시스템을 위한 Offset Phase Rotation Shift Keying (OPRSK) 및 Phase Silence Rotation Shift Keying (PSRSK) 변조 방식을 제안한다. 현재 IEEE에서는 인체통신을 위한 WBAN 시스템을 802.15. Task Group (TG) 6로 지정하고 이에 관한 표준화를 진행하고 있다. 최근에는 WBAN 시스템의 전력 효율 향상을 위해 Phase Silence Shift Keying (PSSK), Phase Silence Position Keying (PSPK), 및 Phase Rotation Shift Keying (PRSK) 등의 변조 방식들이 제안되었으나, 기존의 방식들은 비선형 증폭기에 의한 왜곡에 취약한 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 심볼 구간의 전력 분산 및 성상도의 위상 옵셋을 통해 최대 위상 전이 범위를 제한함으로써 비선형 왜곡에 강인한 OPRSK 및 PSRSK 방식을 제안하며, 다양한 성능 분석을 통해 제안된 방식의 우수성을 입증하였다.

In modern art, body appears as artistic performer, material or producer. and is expressed as' social environment body' which is changed in the relationship with its society and culture. The correlation between body and clothing image appears in 'body as expression object' which directly borrows human body or sets up a section of human body, 'body as medium' in which clothing substitutes body, and 'body as image' in which image of body reappears along with clothing. The results of analysis are as follows : First, 'image of expansion and exaggeration' to expand the influence of clothing thereby disclosing illusion of material civilization prevalent in our society, and make metaphor of dwarfish human's lurking fear by transforming and exaggerating human body. Second, 'image of restriction and suppression' to express the loss of humanity, power and restriction of modern society with fixing and cruelty of body image through clothing which disregard body function. Third, 'image of open and fluidity to criticize the extinction of values of human existence and standardized figure of our society by reducing three-dimensional clothing and body to untypical form or introducing the image of absent of human body to clothing. Fourth, 'image of reversion and paradox' to express practical clothing object with unwearable material, or cause confusion of sex and identity by expressing dual aspects of body at the same time. In this study, which is focused on correlation between body and clothing and the meaning of them, I realized that, even though artistic clothing expressed image of distortion and deformation of human existence as essential subject of body, they, in most contents, were used as medium of communication to rediscover human dignity and identity, and consisted of a series of metaphoric network of meanings satirizing aspects of our society.
