In recent years, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications are under rapid development to meet the fast-increasing requirements of multi-type wireless services and applications. In order to satisfy M2M communications requirements, heterogeneous networks convergence appears in many areas, i.e., mobile cellular networks (MCNs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are evolving from heterogeneous to converged. In this paper, we introduce the system architecture and application requirement for converged MCN and WSN, where mobile terminals in MCN are acting as both sensor nodes and gateways for WSN. And then, we discuss the joint optimization of converged networks for M2M communications. Finally, we discuss the technical challenges in the converged process of MCN and WSN.

In this paper, we propose a fuzzy inference model for a navigation algorithm for a mobile robot that intelligently searches goal location in unknown dynamic environments. Our model uses sensor fusion based on situational commands using an ultrasonic sensor. Instead of using the "physical sensor fusion" method, which generates the trajectory of a robot based upon the environment model and sensory data, a "command fusion" method is used to govern the robot motions. The navigation strategy is based on a combination of fuzzy rules tuned for both goal-approach and obstacle-avoidance based on a hierarchical behavior-based control architecture. To identify the environments, a command fusion technique is introduced where the sensory data of the ultrasonic sensors and a vision sensor are fused into the identification process. The result of experiment has shown that highlights interesting aspects of the goal seeking, obstacle avoiding, decision making process that arise from navigation interaction.

This paper represents a map building and localization system for mobile robot. Map building and navigation is a complex problem because map integrity cannot be sustained by odometry alone due to errors introduced by wheel slippage, distortion and simple linealized odometry equation. For accurate localization, we propose sensor fusion system using encoder sensor and indoor GPS module as relative sensor and absolute sensor, respectively. To build a map, we developed a sensor based navigation algorithm and grid based map building algorithm based on Embedded Linux O.S. A wall following decision engine like an expert system was proposed for map building navigation. We proved this system's validity through field test.

IETF에서 표준화한 6LoWPAN(IPv6 over Low Power Wireless Sensor Network)는 무선 센서 노드들의 이동성을 지원 하지 못한다. 무선 센서 노드가 CPU, 메모리, 배터리 사용에 있어 많은 제약을 받기 때문에 Mobile IPv6와 같은 기존의 프로토콜들을 적용하기 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 센서 노드들의 이동성을 지원하기 위해 핸드오버 절차 수행을 호스트가 하지 않는 FPMIPv6(Fast PMIPv6)에 대한 기존 연구 분석을 바탕으로 6LoWPAN와 연동하는 새로운 이동성 관리 구조와 방안을 제안하였다. 연동을 위해 6LoWPAN에서 현재 사용되지 않는 dispatch code pattern의 사용을 제안하였으며, 핸드오버 과정에서 인증 지연으로 발생하는 패킷 손실을 줄이고 재전송으로 인해 발생하는 센서 노드의 전력 소모를 최소화하기 위해 MAG과 MAC, MAC와 AAA 사이에 임시 보증(temporary guarantee) 및 트러스트 관계(trust relationship)라는 새로운 개념을 도입하였다. 새롭게 제안된 인증절차와 구조는 인증 지연으로 인한 핸드오버 절단과 패킷 손실 및 재전송을 크게 줄일 것으로 예상된다.

Sensors in a smartphone can be used to measure various physical quantities. In this paper, we propose an object localization scheme in a three dimenstional using a smart phone. The proposed scheme estimates the location of an object by observing it from several different points. The direction to the target object and the locations of the observation points are collected at each observation point using the location sensor and the orientation sensor in the smartphone. Based on these observations, the proposed scheme derives three dimensional line of sight vectors and estimates the location of the target object that minimizes the estimation error. We implemented the proposed scheme on an Android smartphone and tested its performance by estimating the height of a building and characteristics of the proposed approach.

In general, many IoT devices, including smart phones, use LTE, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, and these communication modules generate a lot of energy consumption during periodic data transmission. This paper proposes a method of the data transmission mode change for improving energy efficiency in various communication environments that mobile devices may encounter. We propose an algorithm for setting the mode considering energy efficiency, data transmission performance and cost when the mobile device transmits data, and transmitting the data in an optimized manner according to the state of the mobile device. The proposed algorithm is implemented through experiments on energy efficiency for each communication module, and the scenario is used to verify how efficiently the proposed algorithm uses energy.

As the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and big data have received a lot of attention as key growth engines in the era of the fourth industrial revolution, data acquisition and utilization in mobile, automotive, robotics, manufacturing, agriculture, health care and national defense are becoming more important. Due to numerous data-based industrial changes, demand for sensor technologies is exploding, especially for intelligent sensor technologies that combine control, judgement, storage and communication functions with the sensors's own functions. Intelligent sensor technology can be defined as a convergence component technology that combines intelligent sensor units, intelligent algorithms, modules with signal processing circuits, and integrated plaform technologies. Intelligent sensor technology, which can be applied to variety of smart IT convergence services such as smart devices, smart homes, smart cars, smart factory, smart cities, and others, is evolving towards intelligent and convergence technologies that produce new high-value information through recognition, reasoning, and judgement based on artificial intelligence. As a result, development of intelligent sensor units is accelerating with strategies for miniaturization, low-power consumption and convergence, new form factor such as flexible and stretchable form, and integration of high-resolution sensor arrays. In the future, these intelligent sensor technologies will lead explosive sensor industries in the era of data-based artificial intelligence and will greatly contribute to enhancing nation's competitiveness in the global sensor market. In this report, we analyze and summarize the recent trends in intelligent sensor technologies, especially those for four core technologies.

센서 레지스트리 시스템(Sensor Registry System, SRS)은 이기종 센서 네트워크에서 의미적 상호운용성 유지를 위해 개발되었다. SRS는 위치 정보를 기반으로 주변 센서와 모바일 기기와의 연결 여부를 확인하며, 연결이 되었을 때 센서의 메타데이터를 제공한다. 성공적으로 연결되는 주위의 센서를 식별하는 과정을 센서 필터링이라고 정의한다. 이러한 센서 필터링의 성능 개선이 SRS 연구의 핵심 주제 중 하나이다. 실제 상황에서, GPS에서 제공된 잘못된 위치 정보로 인해 센서 필터링이 실패하는 경우가 발생한다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 지리적 임베딩과 뉴럴 네트워크 기반 경로 예측을 이용한 새로운 센서 필터링 방법을 제안하고 몬테카를로 접근방법을 통해 서비스 제공률을 평가한다. 실증 연구에서, 제안 방법이 위치 정보 이상 문제를 개선하고 SRS 센서 필터링에 효과적인 모델임을 보였다.

This paper presents a sensor model design based on Monte Carlo Localization method. First, we define the measurement error of each sample using a map matching method by 2-D laser scanners and a pre-constructed grid-map of the environment. Second, samples are assigned probabilities due to matching errors from the gaussian probability density function considered of the sample's convergence. Simulation using real environment data shows good localization results by the designed sensor model.
