사물인터넷(Internet of Things, IoT) 분야는 모든 기기, 사람, 사물 등이 네트워크로 연결되는 초연결 사회를 지향한다. 이에 반해 전력시스템은 폐쇄망으로 운영되고 있으며, 차세대 전력망이라 일컬어지는 스마트 그리드 환경에서도 개방형 양방향 통신을 기반으로 논의는 되고 있으나, 정보보안 취약성이 높아지고 사고 위험이 증가함에 따라 전력망의 안전성 및 신뢰성 확보에 대한 중요도가 증가하고 있다. 이처럼 초연결 사회를 전력분야에 적용하기 위해서는 적용대상의 정의, 적용방법 등에 대한 기본적인 표준 정립을 통해 IoT 확산 저해요인을 조기에 해소하는 것이 필요하다. 본고에서는 전력 및 에너지 분야에 사물 인터넷을 도입하고 활성화 하기 위해 필요한 에너지 IoT(eIoT) 표준 시스템에 대해 알아본다.

Mobile cellular technology is evolving to accommodate a variety of vertical services, expanding the application from human-to-human communication to the Internet of Things(IoT). In particular, the fourth industrial revolution, bringing in a new vision in future smart factory, necessitates a new paradigm shift in wireless communication. Low latency and high reliability is a key issue in wireless applications for industrial IoT such as factory automation. In this paper, we review the recent progress in 5G URLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication) and discuss use cases, requirements, challenging technical issues, and potential solutions to support wireless factory automation such as discrete automation and process automation.

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is an important factor in increasing production efficiency in industrial sectors, along with data collection, exchange and analysis through large-scale connectivity. However, as traffic increases explosively due to the recent spread of IIoT, an allocation method that can efficiently process traffic is required. In this thesis, I propose a two-stage task offloading decision method to increase successful task throughput in an IIoT environment. In addition, I consider a hybrid offloading system that can offload compute-intensive tasks to a mobile edge computing server via a cellular link or to a nearby IIoT device via a Device to Device (D2D) link. The first stage is to design an incentive mechanism to prevent devices participating in task offloading from acting selfishly and giving difficulties in improving task throughput. Among the mechanism design, McAfee's mechanism is used to control the selfish behavior of the devices that process the task and to increase the overall system throughput. After that, in stage 2, I propose a multi-armed bandit (MAB)-based task offloading decision method in a non-stationary environment by considering the irregular movement of the IIoT device. Experimental results show that the proposed method can obtain better performance in terms of overall system throughput, communication failure rate and regret compared to other existing methods.

Internet of Things(IoT) using a variety of technologies in combination provides a convenient, elevated range of services to users. IoT has been noted in combining the fields of medical service in particular. However, with the advent and growing of IoT, the more medical services are evolving, security problems caused by leakage of personal health information will become more serious. U-Health and medical devices, which deal mainly the personal health information, is required to a high level of privacy and security of health information. Therefore, the introduction of the IoT in the healthcare industry requires the medical information security as a prerequisite. This study analyzes security status and trend of IoT, personal medical information leakage cases, the health information protection measures in accordance with the life cycle of medical information, and the standardized protection technologies.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is being used in a wide variety of fields due to the recent 4th industrial revolution. In particular, research is being conducted that combines IoT with the medical field such as telemedicine. Among them, the field of shock detection is a big issue in the medical field because the causes of shock are diverse, treatments are very complex, and require a high level of medical knowledge and experience. The transmission of infectious diseases is common when treating critically ill patients, especially patients with shock. Thus, to effectively care for shock patients, we propose an architecture that continuously monitors the patient's condition, and automatically recommends a drug injection treatment according to the patient's shock condition. The patient's hemodynamic information is continuously monitored, and the patient's shock generation information is recorded periodically. With the recorded patient information, the patient's condition is determined and automatically injected with necessary medication. The medical team can find out whether the patient's condition has improved by checking the recorded information through web applications. The study can help relieve the shortage of medical personnel and help prevent transmission of infectious disease in medical staff. We look forward to playing a role in helping medical staff by making recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of complex and difficult shocks.

With the advent of the 5G communication era recently, advancement of the convergence technologies related to IoT has been progressed rapidly. IoT convergence technologies using various sensors are actively applied many fields in our lives, and it contributes to the popularization of these convergence technologies among many people successfully. The security problem of the IoT which connects many things on the network is critically vulnerable and is one of the most important challenge to be solved urgently. In this paper, we design an intrusion detection and self-treatment system for IoT, which can detect external attacks and anomalies in order to solve the security problems in IoT, perform self-treatment by operating the vaccine program according to the intrusion type whenever it detects certain intrusion. Furthermore, we consider the broadcasting of intrusion alarm message according to the frequency of similar circumstances in order to block intrusion contagious in IoT.

The Internet of things (IoT) is the extension of Internet connectivity into various devices and everyday objects. Embedded with electronics, Internet connectivity and other forms of hardware. The IoT poses significant risk to the entire digital ecosystem. This is because so many of these devices are designed without a built-in security system to keep them from being hijacked by hackers. This paper proposed a mutual authentication protocol for IoT Devices using symmetric-key algorithm. The proposed protocol use symmetric key cryptographic algorithm to securely encrypt data on radio channel. In addition, the secret key used for encryption is random number of devices that improves security by using variable secret keys. The proposed protocol blocked attacker and enabled legal deives to communicate because only authenticated devices transmit data by a mutual authentication protocol. Finally, our scheme is safe for attacks such as eavesdropping attack, location tracking, replay attack, spoofing attack and denial of service attack and we confirmed the safety by attack scenario.

The service structure of the Mobius IoT platform, which has been developed on the basis of the oneM2M standard, connects servers and gateways directly to exchange data using HTTP or MQTT. Such structure may cause problems not to operate IoT services safely. In this paper, we propose an effective structure to manage sessions between gateways (or devices) and server using SIP safely and stably. In addition, we provide the way to implement the proposed method on Mobius IoT platform. To verify the operation of the proposed method, we actually implement the proposed method on Mobius IoT platform, and construct a testbed for a typical IoT application service environment with SIP servers. The results of the experiment show that the proposed method works normally, and it can contribute to the stable operation of IoT services.

Internet of Things (IoT) is possibly the most widely discussed technological concept in today's technology circles. This technology is expected to dramatically change not only how we work but also how we live. The concept of IoT basically means a web of connected devices which can be controlled over a data network. With cost of technology required to control these devices going down and increasing internet connectivity through smartphones, IoT is expected to be an all pervasive technology in the next 10 years. In this paper, we study the technological landscape of this fast growing technology domain from an Intellectual Property (Patents) perspective. We find that the patent distribution in this domain is very fragmented with the top patent applicants in the field holding around 5% of the total patents. Especially, the US geography has seen the maximum patent filings and is closely followed by the big Asian markets of Japan and Korea.
