Recently, cutting-edge ICT technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, edge computing, and the Internet of Things have been applied in various fields to create new services and a new digital era. Along with these technological developments, various policies are being implemented in Korea to transform the country from a "Smart City" to a "Platform City". We can create new services and values by linking with the Smart City Integrated Platform and Smart Housing Platform. This paper defines a linkage scenario between a Smart Housing Platform and the Smart 119 Emergency Dispatch Support Service, one of the Smart City Safety Nets. We propose a data transmission protocol and a metadata schema for data exchange between the Smart Housing Platform and the Smart City Integrated Platform to provide the Smart 119 Emergency Dispatch Support Service.

BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) has been extensively used for communication between mobile applications and wearable devices in IoT (Internet of Things). In developing Android applications, wearable devices, on which the applications can run, should be available because the existing Android SDK does not support any BLE emulation facility. In this study, we have designed and implemented the first Android BLE emulator. Using this, we are able to develop and test BLE-based Android applications even when without wearable devices. We have also proposed an automatic generation method of Android BLE scenarios based on graph model. We have shown that the method is useful for systematically testing BLE application protocols by running the generated scenarios on the Android BLE emulator.

Ultra-lightweight password CHAM is an algorithm with efficient addition, rotation and XOR operations on resource constrained devices. CHAM shows high computational performance, especially on IoT platforms. However, lightweight block encryption algorithms used on the Internet of Things may be vulnerable to side channel analysis. In this paper, we demonstrate the vulnerability to side channel attack by attempting a first power analysis attack against CHAM. In addition, a safe algorithm was proposed and implemented by applying a masking technique to safely defend the attack. This implementation implements an efficient and secure CHAM block cipher using the instruction set of an 8-bit AVR processor.

As a way to further expand and enable the 5G ecosystem, the $3^{rd}$ Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is considering the development of a 5G new radio (NR)-based non-terrestrial network (NTN). These NTNs are expected to provide ubiquitous 5G services to user's equipment (especially, in Internet of Things/machine-type communications (IoT/MTC) public safety, and critical communications) by extending service coverage to areas not covered by 5G terrestrial networks. To this end, this NTN is developing scenarios to provide 5G services using spaceborne vehicles, such as geosynchronous and low-Earth orbit satellites, and airborne vehicles, such as unmanned aircraft systems, including high-altitude pseudo-satellites. In addition, various technologies are being studied to satisfy new requirements not considered in 5G NR, such as long propagation delay time, large cell coverage, large Doppler effect, and base station movement. In this paper, we present the scenarios, requirements, technical issues and solutions, and standardization planning for NR-based NTN in 3GPP.

Technologies that are leading the fourth industrial revolution, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and cyber-physical systems (CPS) are developing and generalizing. The demand to improve productivity, economy, safety, etc., is spreading in various industrial fields by applying these technologies. Digital twins are attracting attention as an important technology trend to meet demands and is one of the top 10 tasks of the Korean version of the New Deal. In this study, papers, magazines, reports, and other literature were searched using Google. In order to investigate the contribution or role of geospatial information in the digital twin application, the definition of a digital twin, we investigated technology trends of domestic and foreign companies; the components of digital twins required in manufacturing, plants, and smart cities; and the core techniques for driving a digital twin. In addition, the contributing contents of geospatial information were summarized by searching for a sentence or word linked between geospatial-related keywords (i.e., Geospatial Information, Geospatial data, Location, Map, and Geodata and Digital Twin). As a result of the survey, Geospatial information is not only providing a role as a medium connecting objects, things, people, processes, data, and products, but also providing reliable decision-making support, linkage fusion, location information provision, and frameworks. It was found that it can contribute to maximizing the value of utilization of digital twins.

Objectives: To develop the smart sensor to protect worker's health from chemical exposure by adopting ICT (Information and Communications Technology) technologies. Methods: To develope real-time chemical exposure monitoring system, IoT (Internet of Things) sensor technology and regulations were reviewed. We developed and produced smart sensor. A smart sensor is a system consisting of a sensor unit, a communication unit, and a platform. To verify the performance of smart sensors, each sensor has been certified by the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS). Results: Chemicals (TVOC; Total Volatile Organic Compounds, Cl₂: Chlorine, HF: Hydrogen fluoride and HCN: Hydrogen cyanide) were selected according to a priority logic (KOSHA Alert, acute poisoning statistics, literature review). Notifications were set according to OEL (occupational exposure limit). Sensors were selected based on OEL and the capabilities of the sensors. Communication is designed to use LTE (Long Term Evolution) and Wi-Fi at the same time for convenience. Electronic platform were applied to build this monitoring system. Conclusions: Real-time monitoring system for OEL of hazardous chemicals in workplace was developed. Smart sensor can detect chemicals to complement monitoring of traditional workplace environmental monitoring such as short term and peak exposure. Further research is needed to expand the scope of application, improve reliability, and systematically application.

In this Study, Social Network Analysis of IoT related patents in South Korea, China, and Japan was conducted from the viewpoint of patent informatics. To this end, 2,526 patents filed by PCT until December 2019 were investigated up to the subclass level of the IPC code. As a result, in the case of South Korea, representative IPC codes are in the order of G06Q, H04L, G06F, H04W, and the highest frequency of interconnection is H04L→H04W, H04W→H04L, H04W→H04B. In China, the representative IPC codes are in the order of H04L, H04W, G05B, G06Q. South Korea has strong technological convergence centered on the G06Q, while China has strong convergence centered around H04L and H04W. Moreover, in China, H04L and H04W have more diverse combinations than in South Korea in Section A, B, G, and H. In the future, it is necessary to study the diversity of technology convergence of H04L and H04W in China.

This paper describes a design and implementation of the NFC bridge chip which performs interface between kinds of devices and mobile phones including NFC controller through NFC communication. The NFC bridge chip consists of the digital part and the analog part which are based on NFC Forum standard. Therefore the chip treats RF signals and then transforms the signal to digital data, so it can interface kinds of devices with the digital data. Especially the chip is able to detect RF signals and then wake up the host processor of a device. The wakeup function dramatically decreases the power consumption of the device. The carrier frequency is 13.56MHz, and the data rate is up to 424kbps. The chip has been fabricated with SMIC 180nm mixed-mode technology. Additionally an NFC bridge chip application to the blood glucose measurement system is described for an application example.
