This paper presents a regionalized time slotted channel hopping (TSCH) slotframe-based aerial data collection using wake-up radio. The proposed scheme aims to minimize the delay and energy consumption when an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) collects data from sensor devices in the large-scale service area. To this end, the proposed scheme divides the service area into multiple regions, and determines the TSCH slotframe length for each region according to the number of cells required by sensor devices in each region. Then, it allocates the cells dedicated for data transmission to the TSCH slotframe using the ID of each sensor device. For energy-efficient data collection, the sensor devices use a wake-up radio. Specifically, the sensor devices use a wake-up radio to activate a network interface only in the cells allocated for beacon reception and data transmission. The simulation results showed that the proposed scheme exhibited better performance in terms of delay and energy consumption compared to the existing scheme.

In this paper, we propose a system which can perceive status of semiconductor equipment and evaluate its performance. The proposed system acquires the information such acceleration, pressure, temperature and gas sensors in the surrounding semiconductor equipment. After acquiring information, it is sent to server through multi hop transmission. The transmitted data generates 3 steps alarm using context-aware algorithm of unit or multiple event. From the experiment's result of the proposed system, we confirm that the reliability and efficiency of information is more improved about 80% than a system that doesn't use context-aware algorithm. Moreover, this system can be effective status monitoring of semiconductor equipment because lots of client nodes acquire surrounding information.

Commonly, in the Sensor Network that composed with multiple nodes uses Ad-hoc protocol to communicate each other. Each sensed data packets are collected by base node and processed by Host PC. But the Ad-hoc protocol is too vulnerable to Sinkhole attack, where the intruder attracts surrounding nodes with unfaithful routing information, and then performs selective forwarding or changes the data passing through it. The Sinkhole attack increases overhead over the network and boosts energy consumption speed to decrease network's life time. Since the other attacks can be easily adopted through sinkhole attack, the countermeasure must be considered carefully. In this paper, we proposed the Hop-depth algorithm that detects intruder in Sinkhole attack and colluded nodes. First, the proposed algorithm makes list of suspected nodes and identifies the real intruder in the suspected node list through the Hop-depth count value. And recalculates colluder's path information to find the real intruder. We evaluated the performance of the proposed algorithm using NS2. We compared and analyzed the success ratio of finding real intruder, false positive ratio, false negative ratio, and energy consumption.

Link quality assessment is a crucial part of sensor network formation to stably operate large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A stability of path consisting of several nodes strongly depends on all link quality between pair of consecutive nodes. Thus it is very important to assess the link quality on the stage of building a routing path. In this paper, we present a link quality assessment method, Hybrid Link Quality Metric (HQLM), which uses both of LQI and RSSI from RF chip of sensor nodes to minimize set-up time and energy consumption for network formation. The HQLM not only reduces the time and energy consumption, but also provides complementary cooperation of LQI and RSSI. In order to evaluate the validity and efficiency of the proposed method, we measure PDR (Packet Delivery Rate) by exchanging multiple messages and then, compare PDR to the result of HQLM for evaluation. From the research being carried out, we can conclude that the HQLM performs better than either LQI- or RSSI-based metric in terms of recall, precision, and matching on link quality.

Wireless sensor network(WSN) is made up of a lot of battery operated inexpensive sensors that, once deployed, can not be replaced. Therefore, energy efficiency of WSN is essential. Among the methods for energy efficiency of the network, clustering algorithms, which divide a WSN into multiple smaller clusters and separate all sensors into cluster heads and their associated member nodes, are very energy efficient routing technique. The first cluster-based routing protocol, LEACH, randomly elects the cluster heads in accordance with the probability. However, if the distribution of selected cluster heads is not good, uniform energy consumption of cluster heads is not guaranteed and it is possible to decrease the number of active nodes. Here we propose a new routing scheme that, by comparing the remaining energy of all nodes in a cluster, selects the maximum remaining energy node as a cluster head. Because of decrease in energy gap of nodes, the node that was a cluster head operates as a member node much over. As a result, the network lifespan is increased and more data arrives at base station.

In this paper, we study mobile data collector (MDC) based data-gathering schemes in wireless sensor networks. In Such networks, MDCs are used to collect data from the environment and transfer them to the sink. The majority of existing data-gathering schemes suffer from high data-gathering latency because they use only a single MDC. Although some schemes use multiple MDCs, they focus on maximizing network lifetime rather than minimizing packet delay. In order to address the limitations of existing schemes, this paper focuses on minimizing packet delay for given number of MDCs and minimizing the number of MDCs for a given delay bound of packets. To achieve the minimum packet delay and minimum number of MDCs, two optimization problems are formulated, and traveling distance and traveling time of MDCs are estimated. The interior-point algorithm is used to obtain the optimal solution for each optimization problem. Numerical results and analysis are presented to validate the proposed method.

Purpose: To continuously monitor soil and climatic properties, a data acquisition system (DAQ) was developed and tested in plum farms (Gyewol-ri and Haechang-ri, Suncheon, Korea). Methods: The DAQ consisted of a Raspberry-Pi processor, a modem, and an ADC board with multiple sensors (soil moisture content (SEN0193), soil temperature (DS18B20), climatic temperature and humidity (DHT22), and rainfall gauge (TR-525M)). In the laboratory, various tests were conducted to calibrate SEN0193 at different soil moistures, soil temperatures, depths, and bulk densities. For performance comparison of the SEN0193 sensor, two commercial moisture sensors (SMS-BTA and WT-1000B) were tested in the field. The collected field data in Raspberry-Pi were transmitted and stored on a web server database through a commercial communications wireless network. Results: In laboratory tests, it was found that the SEN0193 sensor voltage reading increased significantly with an increase in soil bulk density. A linear calibration equation was developed between voltage and soil moisture content depending on the farm soil bulk density. In field tests, the SEN0193 sensor showed linearity (R = 0.76 and 0.73) between output voltage and moisture content; however, the other two sensors showed no linearity, indicating that site-specific calibration is important for accurate sensing. In the long-term monitoring results, it was observed that the measured climate temperature was almost the same as website information. Soil temperature information was higher than the values measured by DS18B20 during spring and summer. However, the local rainfall measured using TR 525M was significantly different from the values on the website. Conclusion: Based on the test results obtained using the developed monitoring system, it is thought that the measurement of various parameters using one device would be helpful in monitoring plum growth. Field data from the local farm monitoring system can be coupled with website information from the weather station and used more efficiently.
