In the sensor network, many tiny nodes construct Ad-Hoc network using wireless interface. As this type of system consists of thousands of nodes, managing each sensor node in real world after deploying them is very difficult. In order to install the sensor network successfully, it is necessary to verify its software using a simulator beforehand. In fact Sensor network simulators require high fidelity and timing accuracy to be used as a design, implementation, and evaluation tool of wireless sensor networks. Cycle-accurate, instruction-level simulation is the known solution for those purposes. In this paper, we developed an instruction-level sensor network simulator for Telos sensor node as named TeloSlM. It consists of MSP430 and CC2420. Recently, Telos is the most popular mote because MSP430 can consume the minimum energy in recent motes and CC2420 can support Zigbee. So that TeloSlM can provide the easy way for the developers to verify software. It is cycle-accurate in instruction-level simulator that is indispensable for OS and the specific functions and can simulate scalable sensor network at the same time. In addition, TeloSlM provides the GUI Tool to show result easily.

Location tracking system represents position by searching objects and humans. In this paper I would like to write about RF chip support Zigbee which is called CC2420. In simulated network circumstance, we can get the information about mobile-node by sending it to sink-node. Position finding is in error by 3m at outdoor environment. The error scale is acceptable within easy range of naked eyes. It can be overcome by using GPS information and Google maps with the wireless networking background.

In this paper, we analyze the hardware and software platform for constructing the USN in the vessel environment. Specifically, we analyze the mote technology based on the CC2420 in the hardware platform and analyze the TinyOS platform in the software platform. We also analyze the physical layer of IEEE802.15.4 which is the standard of the USN communication. In the simulation, we evaluate the performance in the physical layer of ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 by using the MATLAB and verify the validity of constructing the USN in the vessel environment based on the simulation results.

In this paper, we analysed RSS characteristics by external factors and presented an efficient algorithm for real-time location tracking and its hardware system. The proposed algorithm enhanced the ranging accuracy using Kalman Filter based on the RSS DB. The location tracking system that consists of the tag, AP(Access Point), a data collector(Data Receiver) with IEEE 802.15.4(ZigBee) network environment, and location tracking application that reveal locations of each tag is implemented for the test environment. The location tracking system presented in this paper is implemented with MSP430 microprocessor manufactured by TI(Texas Instrument), CC2420 RF chipset and the location tracking application. With the results of the experiment, the proposed algorithm and the system can achieve the efficiency and the accuracy of location tracking with the average error of 19.12cm, and its standard deviation of 5.31cm in outdoor circumstance. Also, the experimental result shows that exact tracking of position in indoor circumstance cannot achieve because of vulnerable RSS with external circumstance.

In this paper, we study the design and implementation of an auto recognition system by using wireless sensor node. RFID system has a limited communication range and communication network is damaged, it is impossible to communicate. Therefore, easy installation and low cost wireless system are required in an area where the installation of communication between RFID system and monitoring system is difficult, or a portable RFID system is installed. The auto recognition system in this study is implemented by the combination of 13.56MHz RFID system using MLX12115 RFID chip of Melexis company and wireless sensor node system using CC2420 Zigbee chip of Chipcon company. As a result, we develop an auto recognition system which makes it possible to get tag's information wirelessly. Also, it has a simple circuit structure and is small in size.

Recently, wireless sensor networks are deployed in various applications range from simple environment monitoring systems to complex systems, which generate large amount of information, like motion monitoring, military, and telematics systems. Although wireless sensor network nodes are operated with low-power 8bit processor to execute simple tasks like environment monitoring, the nodes in these complex systems have to execute more difficult tasks. Generally, MAC protocols for wireless sensor networks attempt to reduce the energy consumption using duty cycling mechanism which means the nodes periodically sleep and wake. However, in the duty cycling mechanism. a node should wait until the target node wakes and the sleep latency increases as the number of hops increases. This sleep latency can be serious problem in complex and sensitive systems which require high speed data transfer like military, wing of airplane, and telematics. In this paper, we propose a solution for reducing transmission latency through distributed duty cycling (DDC) in wireless sensor networks. The proposed algorithm is evaluated with real-deployment experiments using CC2420DBK and the experiment results show that the DDC algorithm reduces the transmission latency significantly and reduces also the energy consumption.

This paper reconsiders established power conservation models for ubiquitous sensor networks that use relay nodes instead of direct communication and proposes novel network power consumption model with consideration of the channel level and radio chip level simultaneously. We estimate the effect of minimum hop-count policy in terms of network power consumption through simulation of various situations for low power RF module CC2420. It is observed that maximum RF power and minimum hop-count results in lower energy consumption relatively. Also, in total network energy consumption, which is included re-transmission, minimum hop count policy presents decrease by 33.1% of energy consumption in compare with the conventional model.
