This paper proposes a novel indoor positioning system (IPS) that uses a calibrated camera sensor network and dense 3D map information. The proposed IPS information is obtained by generating a bird's-eye image from multiple camera images; thus, our proposed IPS can provide accurate position information when objects (e.g., the mobile robot or pedestrians) are detected from multiple camera views. We evaluate the proposed IPS in a real environment with moving objects in a wireless camera sensor network. The results demonstrate that the proposed IPS can provide accurate position information for moving objects. This can improve the localization performance for mobile robot operation.

Wireless Sensor Network typically incorporates diverse applications within the same network. A sensor node may have multiple sensors i.e. light, temperature, seismic etc with different transmission characteristics. Each application has different characteristics and requirements in terms of transmission rates, bandwidth, packet loss and delay demands may be initiated towards the sink. In this paper we propose Heterogeneous Traffic Oriented Rate Control Protocol (HTRCP) which ensures efficient rate control for diverse applications according to the priority specified by the sink. Moreover. HTRCP ensures the node priority based hop by hop dynamic rate adjustment for high link utilization.

To resolve energy depletion issues in massive Internet of Things sensor networks, we developed a set of distributed energy beamforming methods with one-bit feedback and clustering for multi-node wireless energy transfer, where multiple singleantenna distributed energy transmitters (Txs) transfer their energy to multiple nodes wirelessly. Unlike previous works focusing on distributed information beamforming using a single energy receiver (Rx) node, we developed a distributed energy beamforming method for multiple Rx nodes. Additionally, we propose two clustering methods in which each Tx node chooses a suitable Rx node. Furthermore, we propose a fast distributed beamforming method based on Tx sub-clustering. Through computer simulations, we demonstrate that the proposed distributed beamforming method makes it possible to transfer wireless energy to massive numbers of sensors effectively and rapidly with small implementation complexity. We also analyze the energy harvesting outage probability of the proposed beamforming method, which provides insights into the design of wireless energy transfer networks with distributed beamforming.

Wearable computing is growing rapidly as research on body area communication network using wireless sensor network technology is actively conducted. In particular, there is an increasing interest in smart clothing measuring unrestrained and insensitive bio signals, and research is being actively conducted. However, research on smart clothing is mainly based on 1: 1 wireless communication. In this paper, we propose a multi-access monitoring system that can measure bio-signals by multiple users wearing smart clothing. The proposed system consists of wireless access device, multiple access control server and monitoring system. It also provides a service that allows multiple users to monitor and measure bio signals at the same time.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood pressure (BP) are main vital signs which are the standards in most medical settings in assessing the most basic body functions. Multi parameters are desired in providing more information for health professionals in order to detect or monitor medical problems of patients more precisely. This study urges us to develop a robust wireless healthcare monitoring system which has multiple physiological signs measurements on real time that applicable to various environments which integrates wireless sensor network technology and code division multiple access (CDMA) network with extended feature of locally standalone diagnosis algorithms that implemented in tell phone. ECG signal and BP parameter of the patients are routinely be monitored, processed and analyzed in details at cell phone locally to produce useful medical information to ease patients for tracking and future reference purposes. Any suspected or unknown patterns of signals will be immediately forwarded to hospital server using cell phone for doctors' evaluation. This feature enables the patients always recognize the importance of self-health checking so that the preventive actions can be taken earlier through this analytic information provided by this monitoring system because "Prevention is better than Cure".

Wireless sensor network has been widely used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications to support large and dense networks. As sensor nodes are usually tiny and provided with limited hardware resources, the existing multiple access methods, which involve high computational complexity to preserve the protocol performance, is not available under such a scenario. In this paper, we propose an intelligent Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol selection scheme based on machine learning in wireless sensor networks. We jointly consider the impact of inherent behavior and external environments to deal with the application limitation problem of the single type MAC protocol. This scheme can benefit from the combination of the competitive protocols and non-competitive protocols, and help the network nodes to select the MAC protocol that best suits the current network condition. Extensive simulation results validate our work, and it also proven that the accuracy of the proposed MAC protocol selection strategy is higher than the existing work.

고정형 무선 센서 노드(고정 노드)와 이동형 우선 센서 노드(이동 노드)가 상존하는 무선 센서 네트워크에서 이동 노드들의 위치 변화는 네트워크 재구성을 유발하여 무선 센서 네트워크의 통신 환경을 변화시킨다. 특히 다수의 이동 노드들이 특정 지역에 밀집하여 위치하는 경우 이동 노드들이 다량의 통신량을 발생시킬 수 있다. 통신량 폭주가 발생하면 센서 노드들은 다른 센서 노드들과 통신용 무선 채널을 점유하기 위한 경쟁이 증가하게 되고 전송 데이터 손실 등의 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크에서 광대역 네트워크를 지원하는 새로운 형태의 고정 노드인 펌핑 노드를 제안한다. 펌핑 노드는 무선 센서 네트워크내의 데이터를 광대역 네트워크로 펌핑 하여 무선 센서 네트워크의 통신량을 감소시키는 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크에 펌핑 노드를 참여시켜 네트워크를 구성함으로써 전송 데이터 손실이 줄어들어 무선센서 네트워크의 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있음을 증명하였다.

Typically a wireless sensor network consists of a number of nodes that sense surrounding environment and collaboratively work to process and route the sensing data to a sink or gateway node. We propose an architecture with support of multiple routers in IPv6-based Low-power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN). Our architecture provides traffic load balancing and increases network lifetime as well as self-healing mechanism so that in case of a router failure the network still can remain operational. Each router sends its own Router Advertisement message to nodes and all the nodes receiving the messages can select which router is the best router with the minimum hop-count and link information. We have implemented the architecture and assert our architecture helps in traffic load balancing and reducing data transmission delay for 6LoWPAN.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 음향 표적의 식별은 환경 감시, 침입 감시, 다중 표적 분리 등에서 많이 연구된다. 무선 센서 네트워크의 센서 노드에서 사용하는 기존의 신호 처리기법은 표적으로부터 수신된 신호의 에너지를 계산하여 표적의 존재 유무만을 기지국으로 전송하는 방법과 수신 신호를 압축하여 전송하는 방법이 많이 사용되었다. 전자의 경우 표적의 감시를 위한 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 표적의 정보가 한정적이므로 적합하지 않고 후자의 경우는 센서 노드에서의 신호처리 및 전송에 소모되는 에너지가 높아 센서의 생존시간이 줄어들게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 표적의 감시를 위한 무선 센서 네트워크에서 필요한 시간정보와 표적의 주파수 정보를 포함하는 센서 노드에서의 특징 추출 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 변환을 이용하여 추출된 웨이블릿 상수에서 표적의 시간 정보와 잡음이 제거된 표적의 식별 정보를 추출함으로서 센서 노드에서 에너지 효율적인 신호처리를 구현하고 추출된 특징을 전송하여 통신에 소모되는 에너지를 원신호 대비 28%로 줄이는 알고리듬을 제안한다.

We consider Wireless Sensor Network Security (WSN) and focus our attention to tolerate damage caused by an adversary who has compromised deployed sensor node to modify, block, or inject packets. We adopt a probabilistic secret sharing protocol where secrets shared between two sensor nodes are not exposed to any other nodes. Adapting to WSN characteristics, we incorporate these secrets to establish new pairwise key for node to node authentication and design multipath routing to multiple base stations to defend against HELLO flood attacks. We then analytically show that our defense mechanisms against HELLO flood attack can tolerate damage caused by an intruder.
