In this paper, a structure of GCNMOS based ESD protection circuit using floating-body technique is proposed. TCAD simulation of Synopsys was used to compare with the conventional GGNMOS and GCNMOS. Compared with the conventional GCNMOS, the proposed ESD protection circuit has lower trigger voltage and faster turn-on-time than conventional circuit because of the added NMOSFET. In the simulation result, the triggering voltage of the proposed ESD protection circuit is 4.86V and the turn-on-time is 1.47ns.

In this paper, a low-profile dipole array antenna with monopole-like radiation for on-body communications is proposed. The proposed antenna, operating in the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band, is designed with consideration of the human body effect. By placing eight planar dipole antenna elements symmetrically around the z-axis, the proposed antenna achieves monopole-like radiation characteristics with a low profile. The antenna has overall dimensions of $0.44{\lambda}_0{\times}0.44{\lambda}_0{\times}0.013{\lambda}_0$ at 2.45 GHz in the ISM 2.45 GHz band (2.4-2.485 GHz) and a 10-dB return loss bandwidth of 4.9% ranging from 2.4 to 2.52 GHz.

An educational network system based on CAN protocol internal to a passenger ground vehicle has been developed. The developed network system has been applied to a commercial plug-in electrical vehicle and verified the educational applicability. To apply this in-vehicle network technology based on CAN, a suitable electric vehicle has been chosen and a CAN network structure has been designed, developed and manufactured. Since the commercial electric vehicle chosen as a test bed has its own proprietary electric network, we explain how the original electric network has been utilized and how the new network system has been designed. The developed network system on a real vehicle has been tested to show the applicability and the performance. Finally, the system has been applied at few classrooms to demonstrate how the in-vehicle network system works and to teach how to analyse the CAN signals. The developed system proven to be effective for educational purpose.

Local Interconnect Network (LIN) is a low-speed in-vehicle network bus, and it is widely used in body applications such as windows, doors, HVAC, and lighting. This review explains protocols and message frames of LIN bus in detail. LIN bus basically transmits ID and payloads in data frame. How to interpret ID and payloads is defined in LIN Description file (LDF). Each LIN bus has unique LDF and its corresponding unique configuration. This review also explains syntax and example of LDF in detail.

Recently, wireless body area network (WBAN) has received much attention as an application for the ubiquitous healthcare system. In WBAN, each sensor nodes and a personal base station such as PDA have an energy constraint and computation overhead should be minimized due to node's limited computing power and memory constraint. The reliable data transmission also must be guaranteed because it handles vital signals. In this paper, we propose a systematic network coding scheme for WBAN to reduce the network coding overhead as well as total energy consumption for completion the transmission. We model the proposed scheme using Markov chain. To minimize the total energy consumption for completing the data transmission, we made the problem as a minimization problem and find an optimal solution. Our simulation result shows that large amount of energy reduction is achieved by proposed systematic network coding. Also, the proposed scheme reduces the computational overhead of network coding imposed on each node by simplify the decoding process.

As growing up of elderly population, the interesting on healthcare system in normal life using W is increasing. An integrated u-healthcare service architecture with IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.15.4 based sensor network and code divisi(m multiple access(CDMA) public mobile telecommunication networks was designed and developed. Sensor nodes with electrocardiogram(ECG), body core temperature sensors are attached on the patients' body. The healthcare parameters are transferred to web server via CDMA mobile network or through existed LAN network. The existed LAN network is suggested to be used for continuous monitoring of patient's health status in hospital while mobile networks can be used for general purpose at home or outdoor where infra networks unavailable. This system enable healthcare personal to be able to continuously access, review, monitor and transmit the patients information whereever they are, whenever they want. And immediately check their status by using cellular phone and obtain detail information by communication with medical information server through CDMA. By using this developed integrated u-healthcare service architecture, we can monitor patients' health status for 24 hours.

Recently, it is increasingly necessary to run high-end neural network applications with huge computation overhead on top of resource-constrained embedded systems, such as wearable devices. While the huge computational overhead can be alleviated by distributed neural networks running on multiple separate devices, existing distributed neural network techniques suffer from a large traffic between the devices; thus are very vulnerable to communication failures. These drawbacks make the distributed neural network techniques inapplicable to wearable devices, which are connected with each other through unstable and low data rate communication medium like human body communication. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a distributed neural network partitioning technique that is resilient to communication failures. Furthermore, we show that the proposed technique also improves the inference accuracy even in case of no communication failure, thanks to the improved network partitioning. We verify through comparative experiments with a real-life neural network application that the proposed technique outperforms the existing state-of-the-art distributed neural network technique in terms of accuracy and resiliency to communication failures.

This paper investigates the effect of antenna polarization in Wireless Body Area Network(WBAN) off-body channel. The polarizations of antenna are divided into four combinations regarding Line-of-Sight(LOS) and Non-LOS(NLOS) environment. The human body keeps both still standing and moving to show that the impact of the polarization to signal. This paper confirms the performance depending on the polarization of receiver antenna and the combination of the polarizations on the off-body channel.

A implanted sensor's error probability is more likely to external sensor's error probability by biological characteristic in WBAN. In this paper, we present method that external sensor transmits frame instead of doing implanted sensor's retransmission for improving lifetime of implanted sensors in WBAN. The proposed method, LI(Lifetime Increment) protocol is to add external sensor's id in transmission data frame of a implanted sensor. When the retransmission is required, external sensor that have to registered id in data frame retransmits frame instead of implanted sensors' retransmission. The comparison result shows that the proposed protocol reduces power consumption and improves life time.
