본 논문은 수중 센서 네트워크에서 송수신 노드간 거리가 증가함에 따라 통신을 위한 전송전력이 급격하게 증가하는 단점을 효과적으로 극복하여 보다 낮은 전송 전력으로 통신할 수 있도록 하기 위한 방안을 제안한다. 제안한 방식은 각 노드들을 싱크노드로부터의 거리에 따라 몇 개의 그룹으로 나누고, 해당 그룹에 지정된 대역을 활용하게 한다. 즉, 멀리 떨어져 있어 주파수 증가에 따른 감쇠가 큰 노드들은 저주파수를, 가까운 거리에 있어 주파수 증가에 따른 감쇠가 적은 노드들은 고주파수를 활용하여 전체 노드가 일정 수준 이상의 신호 대 잡음비를 유지함으로써 전송전력을 줄일 수 있게 된다. 각 센서노드들의 거리에 따른 주파수 별 신호 감쇠 특징을 활용하여 그룹의 크기에 따라 가변되는 전송전력을 최소화하는 최적 그룹의 크기를 찾고 그룹의 크기에 비례하여 그룹 별 대역을 할당하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 방식은 기존의 그룹을 나누지 않는 방식에 비해 10 dB이상 감소된 전송 전력을 보였다.

As body sensor network (BSN) research becomes mature, the need for managing power consumption of sensor nodes has become evident since most of the applications are designed for continuous monitoring. Real time Electrocardiograph (ECG) analysis on sensor nodes is proposed as an optimal choice for saving power consumption by reducing data transmission overhead. Smart sensor nodes with the ability to categorize lately detected ECG cycles communicate with base station only when ECG cycles are classified as abnormal. In this paper, ECG classification algorithms are described, which categorize detected ECG cycles as normal or abnormal, or even more specific cardiac diseases. Our Euclidean distance (ED) based classification method is validated to be most power efficient and very accurate in determining normal or abnormal ECG cycles. A close comparison of power efficiency and classification accuracy between our ED classification algorithm and generalized linear model (GLM) based classification algorithm is provided. Through experiments we show that, CPU cycle power consumption of ED based classification algorithm can be reduced by 31.21% and overall power consumption can be reduced by 13.63% at most when compared with GLM based method. The accuracy of detecting NSR, APC, PVC, SVT, VT, and VF using GLM based method range from 55% to 99% meanwhile, we show that the accuracy of detecting normal and abnormal ECG cycles using our ED based method is higher than 86%.

이동통신망에서는 채널 사용을 극대화하기 위하여 제한된 송신 전력으로 멀티미디어 트래픽을 지원해야 한다. 실시간 전송 기반의 데이터들은 지연에 민감하므로 이를 고려해야 하고, 비실시간성 데이터는 비교적 지연에 둔감하므로 패킷 손실에 유연하게 대처할 수 있다. 따라서 제한된 송신 전력으로 멀티미디어 트래픽을 지원하여야 하므로 하향 링크 전력을 최소로 유지하면서 QoE 제약 조건을 충족시키는 방안이 필요하다. 전송률의 증가에 따라 소비되는 전력이 크게 증대되므로 다양한 이동 멀티미디어 서비스를 지원하기 위해서는 에너지 소비 절감 기술이 요구된다. 또한 인터넷 기반의 멀티미디어 서비스는 자원 요구량, QoE 요건이 상이하므로 적응적인 전력 관리가 필수적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 QoE을 일정 수준으로 충족시키면서 전력 소모를 최소화하기 위한 방안을 제안한다.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), most energy saving asynchronous MAC protocols are custom tailored for unicast communications only. However, broadcast protocols are very commonly used in WSNs for a variety of functionalities, such as gathering network topology information, event monitoring and query processing. In this paper, we propose a novel low-power asynchronous broadcast MAC protocol called Alarm Broadcast (A-CAST). A-CAST employs the strobe preamble that specifies the residual waiting time for the following data transmission. Each receiver goes back to sleep upon hearing the strobe preamble for the residual time duration, to conserve energy and to wake up just before data transmission starts. We compute the energy consumption of A-CAST via rigorous mathematical analysis. The analytic results show that A-CAST outperforms B-CAST, a simple broadcast extension of the well-known B-MAC. We also implement A-CAST on sensor motes and evaluated its performance through real experiments. Our experimental results show that A-CAST reduces the energy consumption by up to 222% compared to the previously proposed protocols.

Available transfer capability (ATC) is a measure of the transfer capability remaining in a transmission system. Application of unified power flow controllers (UPFCs) could have positive impacts on the ATC of some paths while it might have a negative impact on the ATC of other paths. This paper presents an approach to evaluate the impacts of UPFCs on the ATC from a cost/worth point of view. The UPFC application worth is considered as the maximum cost saving in enhancing the ATC of the paths due to the UPFC implementation. The cost saving is considered as the cost of optimal application of other system reinforcement alternatives (except for UPFC) to reach the same ATC level obtained by UPFC application. UPFC application costs include the maximum cost of alleviating the probable negative impact on the ATC of some paths caused by implementing UPFCs. Optimal system reinforcement is used for systems with UPFCs to determine the aforementioned cost. The proposed method is applied to the IEEERTS and the results are evaluated through a sensitivity analysis. The cost/worth of UPFC application is also used to develop an index for optimal UPFC location and the results are compared with those of other indices. A comparison is finally made with the results obtained using an existing ATC allocation profit-based approach to determine UPFC application worth.

In this paper, we propose a mechanical contact inner tap inspection system that can inspect the defect of the inner tap immediately after inner tap is processed within the machining center. The inspection module has the collet chuck structure, so it can mounted on the main spindle of the machining center during inspection. It was developed with a focus on inspection for tap having 20 mm depth which is primarily fabricated in automotive parts and has a double sided PCB-type control system including sensing function based on Zigbee module, micom and IR sensor for wireless transmission of measured data with low power operation, and also a battery for supplying electric power. The current consumption is 46.8mA in the inspection operation mode and 0.0268mA in the power saving mode for 3.7V of the applied power source, so that 30,000 times or more inspection can be performed with assumed 5 seconds inspection time for one tap. Experiments in test jig system and actual machining center confirm that the proposed inner tap inspection system can be applied to the batch process of simultaneous inspection after tapping in the machining center.

The wireless sensor networks have been extensively researched. One of the issues in wireless sensor networks is a developing energy-efficient clustering protocol. Clustering algorithm provides an effective way to extend the lifetime of a wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we proposed an energy efficient clustering scheme by adjusting group size. In sensor network, the power consumption in data transmission between sensor nodes is strongly influenced by the distance of two nodes. And cluster size, that is the number of cluster member nodes, is also effected on energy consumption. Therefore we proposed the clustering scheme for high energy efficiency of entire sensor network by controlling cluster size according to the distance between cluster header and sink.
