Wireless sensor network(WSN) has the potential to greatly effect many aspects of u-healthcare. By outfitting the potential with WSN, wearable sensor node can collects real-time data on physiological status and transmits through base station to server PC. However, there is a significant gap between WSN and healthcare. WSN has the limited resource about computing capability and data transmission according to bio-sensor sampling rates and channels to apply healthcare system. If a wearable node transmits ECG and accelerometer data of 4 channel sampled at 100 Hz, these data may occur high loss packets for transmitting human activity and ECG to server PC. Therefore current wearable sensor nodes have to solve above mentioned problems to be suited for u-healthcare system. Most WSN based activity and ECG monitoring system have been implemented some algorithms which are applied for signal vector magnitude(SVM) algorithm and ECG noise algorithm in server PC. In this paper, A wearable sensor node using integrated ECG and 3-axial accelerometer based on wireless sensor network is designed and developed. It can form multi-hop network with relay nodes to extend network range in WSN. Our wearable nodes can transmit 1-channel activity data processed activity classification data vector using SVM algorithm to 3-channel accelerometer data. ECG signals are contaminated with high frequency noise such as power line interference and muscle artifact. Our wearable sensor nodes can remove high frequency noise to clear original ECG signal for healthcare monitoring.

집적회로 기술의 발달은 처리기의 속도를 계속적으로 증가시켜 왔다. 처리기 응용분야의 주요한 도전은 공유 메모리 다중 처리기 시스템에서 고성능 처리기들을 효과적으로 사용하고자 하는 것이다. 우리는 상호 연결망 문제가 소규모의 공유 메모리 다중처리기 시스템에서 조차 완전히 해결되었다고 생각하지 않는다. 그 이유는 공유버스의 속도는 새로운 강력한 처리기들의 대역폭 요구를 수용할 수 없기 때문이다. 지난 수년간 점대점 단방향 연결은 매우 가능성 있는 상호 연결망 기술로서 대두되었다. 단일 슬롯링은 점대점 상호 연결망의 가장 간단한 형태이다. 단일 슬롯링 구조의 단점은 링에서 처리기의 수가 증가함에 따라 메모리 접근지연 시간이 선형적으로 증가한다는 것이다. 이런 이유로 우리는 캐쉬 기반의 다중처리기 시스템에서 단일 슬롯링을 대체할 수 있는 이중 슬롯링 구조를 제안한다. 또한 본 논문에서 새로운 스누핑 프로토콜을 사용하는 이중 슬롯링 구조를 분석하고 분석적모델과 모의 실험을 통하여 기존의 단일 슬롯링과 성능을 비교한다.

In this study, through the accumulated technologies such as real-time monitoring of power consumption using power line communication (PLC) method, power control, and automatic blocking of standby power, to commercialize them, we developed the hardware design, algorithm, protocol and module along with data transmission using PLC. We conducted the study to develop advanced products. We also proposed cloud-based smart outlet products with a novel type of outlet. These products can measure the internal power consumption through the H/W modules and the modules that control the power of household appliances connected to the smart outlets and smart plugs. Subsequently, they transmit the measurements to the energy saving system server via a communication module. This system can control the terminal device connected to the Gateway (G/W) server through a mobile phone. This will allow the customer to check the power consumption of the building at any given time, to turn the terminal on/off, and to maximize the energy efficiency during the construction of new apartments or multi-family housing in an area.

In the United States (U.S.), the monitored natural attenuation (MNA) approach has been used as an alternative remedial option for organic and inorganic compounds retained in soil and dissolved in groundwater. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines the MNA as“in-situ naturally-occurring processes include biodegradation, diffusion, dilution, sorption, volatilization, and/or chemical and biochemical stabilization of contaminants and reduce contaminant toxicity, mobility or volume to the levels that are protective of human health and the environment”. The Department of Soil Environment. National Institute Environmental Research (NIER) is in the process for demonstrating the MNA approach as a potential remedial option for the BTEX contaminated site in Uiwang City. The project is charactering the research site in terms of the nature and extend of contamination, biological degradation rate, and geochemical and hydrological properties. The microbial-degradation rate and effectiveness of nutrient and redox supplements will be determined through laboratory batch and column tests. The geochemical process will be monitored for determining the concentration changes of chemical species involved in the electron transfer processes that include methanogenesis, sulfate and iron reduction, denitrification, and aerobic respiration. Through field works, critical soil and hydrogeologic parameters will be acquired to simulate the effects of dispersion, advection, sorption, and biodegradation on the fate and transport of the dissolved-phase BTEX plume using Bioplume III model. The objectives of this multi-years research project are (1) to evaluate the MNA approach using the BTEX contaminated site in Uiwang City, (2) to establish a standard protocol for future application of the approach, (3) to investigate applicability of the passive approach as a secondary treatment remedy after active treatments. In this presentation, the overall picture and philosophy behind the MNA approach will be reviewed. Detailed discussions of the site characterization/monitoring plans and risk-based decision-making processes for the demonstration site will be included.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how the modulation method affects the effectiveness of eliciting tactile sensations by electrical stimulation. Two methods were employed and the results were compared and analyzed; pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and pulse width modulation (PWM). Thirty-five healthy subjects participated in the experiments to measure the stimulation intensity that began to elicit a tactile sensation - activation threshold (AT). Constant-current monophasic rectangular pulse trains were employed, and the stimulation intensity was varied from zero until the subject felt any uncomfortable sensation. The step size of the stimulation intensity was 100nC/pulse. After each experiment, the subject described the sensation both quantitatively and qualitatively. The two modulation methods did not make a significant difference as far as the AT values were concerned, but most of the subjects showed 'intra-individual' consistency. Also, it was confirmed that our range of the stimulation parameters enabled us to obtain three major tactile sensations; tickling, pressure and vibration. The results suggested that the stimulation parameters and the modulation type should be selected for each individual and that selective electrical stimulation of the mechanoreceptors needs more diversified researches on the electrode design, multi-channel stimulation protocol, waveforms of the pulse train, etc.

In this paper, we first survey cross-layer architectures for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs). Afterwards, we propose a novel cross-layer architecture for QoS provisioning in clustered and multi-hop based WMSNs. The proposed architecture provides support for multiple network-based applications on a single sensor node. For supporting multiple applications on a single node, an area in memory is reserved where each application can store its network protocols settings. Furthermore, the proposed cross-layer architecture supports heterogeneous flows by classifying WMSN traffic into six traffic classes. The architecture incorporates a service differentiation module for QoS provisioning in WMSNs. The service differentiation module defines the forwarding behavior corresponding to each traffic class. The forwarding behavior is primarily determined by the priority of the traffic class, moreover the service differentiation module allocates bandwidth to each traffic class with goals to maximize network utilization and avoid starvation of low priority flows. The proposal incorporates the congestion detection and control algorithm. Upon detection of congestion, the congested node makes an estimate of the data rate that should be used by the node itself and its one-hop away upstream nodes. While estimating the data rate, the congested node considers the characteristics of different traffic classes along with their total bandwidth usage. The architecture uses a shared database to enable cross-layer interactions. Application's network protocol settings and the interaction with the shared database is done through a cross-layer optimization middleware.

한정된 용량의 배터리에 의존하는 MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc Network)에서는 에너지 효율을 높이기 위한 다양한 클러스터링 기법과 라우팅 알고리즘이 연구되고 있다. 일반적으로 무선 Ad-hoc 네트워크에서는 LEACH와 같은 클러스터 기반의 동적 라우팅 알고리즘이 많이 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 클러스터 내의 각 노드가 가지는 속성을 고려하여 클러스터를 생성하고 노드를 관리하는 TICC(Time Interval Clustering Control) 알고리즘 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 TICC은 노드의 속성 중의 하나인 베터리 값 즉 에너지 값으로 노드의 에너지 레벨을 분류한다. 그리고 분류된 에너지 레벨에 대응하는 시간차 컨트롤 기법을 이용하여 클러스터링 과정을 수행하거나 노드들을 관리한다. 특히 제안한 TICC 알고리즘은 MANET에서 클러스터의 생성, 재생성, 진입 노드 및 이탈 노드의 검출과 관리를 통해 노드의 에너지 관리 효율을 향상시키고 클러스터의 Lifetime을 증가시키는 결과를 보여주었다.

This paper describes the application of a wireless sensor network to a 31 meter-tall medieval tower located in the city of Trento, Italy. The effort is motivated by preservation of the integrity of a set of frescoes decorating the room on the second floor, representing one of most important International Gothic artworks in Europe. The specific application demanded development of customized hardware and software. The wireless module selected as the core platform allows reliable wireless communication at low cost with a long service life. Sensors include accelerometers, deformation gauges, and thermometers. A multi-hop data collection protocol was applied in the software to improve the system's flexibility and scalability. The system has been operating since September 2008, and in recent months the data loss ratio was estimated as less than 0.01%. The data acquired so far are in agreement with the prediction resulting a priori from the 3-dimensional FEM. Based on these data a Bayesian updating procedure is employed to real-time estimate the probability of abnormal condition states. This first period of operation demonstrated the stability and reliability of the system, and its ability to recognize any possible occurrence of abnormal conditions that could jeopardize the integrity of the frescos.

IPv6 네트워크에서는 기본 보안 메커니즘인 IPSec 메커니즘을 사용함으로써, 통신 양자 간에 전송되는 데이터에 대한 무결성 및 기밀성을 보장하고, 데이터와 통신 주체에 대한 인증을 실시할 수 있다. 그러나 IPSec 메커니즘을 악용하여 대량의 비정상 트래픽(세션설정 단계 또는 통신 단계의 비정상 IPSec 트래픽)을 전송하였을 경우, IPSec 메커니즘 자체에서 해당 패킷을 차단하는 데 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 IPv6 네트워크 환경에서 IPSec 메커니즘의 ESP 확장헤더에 의해 암호화된 패킷의 비정상 여부를 복호화 없이 IPSec 세션테이블과 설정테이블을 이용하여 탐지함으로써, 성능향상을 가질 수 있는 효과적인 보안 시스템에 대한 설계 내용을 보이고자 한다. 또한 설계는 단계적 대응 메커니즘를 기반으로 한다.
