A design pattern is a general solution to a commonly occurring problem. Design patterns have proven highly effective in representing, transferring, and applying the design knowledge in many engineering disciplines. However, these patterns have not addressed sensor network specifically. With a growth of sensors and sensor networks, and considering their profound applicability, there is a crucial need to articulate ones experience of application development or deployment of sensor nodes in the form of design patterns to avoid the future mistakes. This paper discusses the same issue and show applicability of design patterns in sensor networks.

In this paper, we introduce an Intersection Collision Avoidance (ICA) system as a convergence example of Telematics and USN technology and show several requirements for the ICA system. Also, we propose a system design that satisfies the requirements of reliable vehicular data acquisition, real-time data transmission, and effective intersection collision prediction. The ICA system consists of vehicles, sensor nodes and a base station that can provide drivers with a reliable ICA service. Then, we propose several technological solutions needed when implementing the ICA system. Those are about sensor nodes deployment, vehicular information transmission, vehicular location data acquisition, and intersection collision prediction methods. We expect this system will be a good case study applied to real Telematics application based on USN technology.

The general Wi-Fi network connection structure is that a number of IoT (Internet of Things) sensor nodes are directly connected to one AP (Access Point) node. In this structure, the range of the network that can be established within the specified specifications such as the range of signal strength (RSSI) to which the AP node can connect and the maximum connection capacity is limited. To overcome these limitations, multiple middleware bridge technologies for dynamic scalability and load balancing were studied. However, these network expansion technologies have difficulties in terms of the rules and conditions of AP nodes installed during the initial network deployment phase In this paper, an intelligent edge computing IoT device is developed for constructing an intelligent autonomous cluster edge computing network and applying it to real-time road danger context aware and notification system through an intelligent risk situation recognition algorithm.

Researchers have made significant progress in recent years towards realizing effective structural health monitoring (SHM) utilizing wireless smart sensor networks (WSSNs). These efforts have focused on improving the performance and robustness of such networks to achieve high quality data acquisition and distributed, in-network processing. One of the primary challenges still facing the use of smart sensors for long-term monitoring deployments is their limited power resources. Periodically accessing the sensor nodes to change batteries is not feasible or economical in many deployment cases. While energy harvesting techniques show promise for prolonging unattended network life, low power design and operation are still critically important. This research presents the WiSeMote: a new, fully integrated ultra-low power wireless smart sensor node and a flexible base station, both designed for long-term SHM deployments. The power consumption of the sensor nodes and base station has been minimized through careful hardware selection and the implementation of power-aware network software, without sacrificing flexibility and functionality.

무선 센서 네트워크의 노드들은 한 번 배포되면 배터리의 교환 충전이 불가능하기 때문에 제한적인 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하여 네트워크의 수명을 연장하는 것이 중요한 문제이다. LEACH 프로토콜은 에너지를 효율적으로 이용하기 위한 대표적인 클러스터링 기반 라우팅 프로토콜로서 여러 개의 클러스터로 구성되며 각 클러스터는 헤드 노드와 그에 속한 멤버 노드로 이루어진다. LEACH는 모든 노드가 헤드로 전송할 데이터를 갖고 있다는 가정에서 시작하지만 실제의 경우 전송할 필요가 없는 데이터를 갖고 있는 멤버 노드도 존재하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 멤버 노드가 이전에 수집한 데이터와 현재 센싱한 데이터를 비교하여 동일한 경우 멤버 노드를 휴지 상태로 전환하여 전송 에너지 소비를 감소시키는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방식으로 모의실험을 수행한 결과 기존의 클러스터링 기반 알고리즘들과 비교하여 시간 경과에 따른 생존 노드 수 측면에서 더욱 향상된 결과를 확인하였다.

Accurate and low-cost sensor localization is a critical requirement for the deployment of wireless sensor networks in a wide variety of application. Sensor position is used for its data to be meaningful and for energy efficient data routing algorithm especially geographic routing. The previous works for sensor localization utilize global positioning system(GPS) or estimate unknown-location nodes position with help of some small reference nodes which know their position previously. However, the traditional localization techniques are not well suited in the senor network for the cost of sensors is too high. In this paper, we propose the sensor localization method with a mobile robot, which knows its position, moves through the sensing field along pre-scheduled path and gives position information to the unknown-location nodes through wireless channel to estimate their position. We suggest using the sensor position estimation method and an efficient mobility path model. To validate our method, we carried out a computer simulation, and observed that our technique achieved sensor localization more accurately and efficiently than the conventional one.

Nowadays, energy saving has become a hot topic and information and communication technology has become a major power consumer. In long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) networks, heterogeneous deployments of low-power nodes and conventional macrocells provide some new features, such as coverage extension, throughput enhancement, and load balancing. However, a large-scale deployment of low-power nodes brings substantial energy consumption and interference problems. In this paper, we propose a novel switching strategy (NS), which adaptively switches on or off some low-power nodes based on the instantaneous load of the system. It is compatible with the microcells' load balancing feature and can be easily implemented on the basis of existing LTE-A specifications. Moreover, we develop an analytical model for analyzing the performance of system energy consumption, block rate, throughput, and energy efficiency. The performance of NS is evaluated by comparison with existing strategies. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that NS not only has a low block rate, but also achieves a high energy efficiency.

This paper makes a close inquiry into ill-conditioning that may be occurred in wireless localization of the sensor nodes based on network signals in the wireless sensor network and provides the clue for solving the problem. In order to estimate the location of a node based on the range information calculated using the signal propagation time, LS (Least Squares) method is usually used. The LS method estimates the solution that makes the squared estimation error minimal. When a nonlinear function is used for the wireless localization, ILS (Iterative Least Squares) method is used. The ILS method process the LS method iteratively after linearizing the nonlinear function at the initial nominal point. This method, however, has a problem that the final solution may converge into a LM (Local Minimum) instead of a GM (Global Minimum) according to the deployment of the fixed nodes and the initial nominal point. The conditions that cause the problem are explained and an adaptive method is presented to solve it, in this paper. It can be expected that the stable location solution can be provided in implementation of the wireless localization methods based on the results of this paper.
