In recent years, a variety of ITS services are available such as driving information, road conditions, V2X messages as well as navigation and traffic jams notification. The development of ITS services is accelerating by V2X communication technologies for high-speed vehicles. In this paper, WAVE communication devices based on the IEEE802.11p standard is introduced as a solution of V2X communication technologies. The H/W and S/W structures of the WAVE communication device and the characteristics of RF/antenna are described. The performance is evaluated in the test road by measuring throughput, PER and latency. The implemented WAVE communication device has 6~7 Mbps throughput with 10% PER at 1km coverage. The packet latency is less than 3ms for the whole test road. It is shown that the implemented WAVE technology is satisfactory to provide ITS services and Internet video-streaming services.

In the field of network sense for the Ubiquitous environment, the technology of RFID is a significant part. Due to the real time processing of information and the property of network, RFID has been used in service field such as distribution, administrative control of physical distribution, remote measuring device, and security, instead of currently used bar-code. The management system of port facilities using the current RFID technology has the effects of reducing working hours and improvement in data processing, but it is not proper for human resource allocation since it is dominantly worked for physical resources. In this paper, we designed and implemented personnel control system using RFID of 2.4GHz in port facilities which presents a monitoring system for safety operation and increase of efficiency using RFID in order to overcome the limitations and problems of current port operation management techniques.

A new localization algorithm is proposed for a fast moving mobile robot, which utilizes only one beacon and the global features of the differential-driving mobile robot. It takes a relatively long time to localize a mobile robot with active beacon sensors since the distance to the beacon is measured by the traveling time of the ultrasonic signal. When the mobile robot is moving slowly the measurement time does not yield a high error. At a higher mobile robot speed, however, the localization error becomes too large to locate the mobile robot. Therefore, in high-speed mobile robot operations, instead of using two or more active beacons for localization, only one active beacon and the global features of the mobile robot are used to localize the mobile robot in this research. The two global features are the radius and center of the rotational motion for the differential-driving mobile robot which generally describe motion of the mobile robot and are used for the trace prediction of the mobile robot. In high speed operations the localizer finds an intersection point of this predicted trace and a circle which is centered at the beacon and has the radius of the distance between the mobile robot and the beacon. This new approach resolves the large localization error caused by the high speed of the mobile robot. The performance of the new localization algorithm has been verified through the experiments with a high-speed mobile robot.

La-Ca-Mn-O (LCMO) 박막에서 초거대 자기 저항 효과와 발견된 이후 자기 센서와 고밀도 자기 저장 매체로서 응용하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 현재 대부분의 증착은 타겟과 박막간의 조성의 일치를 위하여 PLD 방법을 이용하고 있으며 RF magnetron sputtering 법으로 증착한 예는 많이 보고되고 있지 않으며 특히 적층 성장시킨 예는 아직 보고되지 있지 않다. 또한 LCMO와의 낮은 격자 상수 불일치를 보이는 SrTiO3와 LaAlO3 기판에 LCMO 박막을 성장시킬 경우 LaAlO3의 경우 XRD rocking curve의 curve의 FWHM 값이 SrTiO3 상에 증착시킨 것의 10배 이상의 값을 보인다는 것은 주목할 만한 사실이다. RF magnetron sputtering 법을 이용하여 LaAlO3 기판상에 145nm MCMO 박막을 적층성장시켰다. XRD $ heta$-2$\theta$ scan을 통해 박막이 c-축 배향한 것을 확인할 수 있었으며 RBS 분석결과 4.98%의 minimumyield를 보였으며 이로부터 박막이 적층성장한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. LCMO (200) peak의 XRD $\theta$-rocking 결과 FWHM의 값은 0.311$^{\circ}$를 보였으나 2개의 피크가 존재하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 따라서 기판의 (200) 피크를 XRD $\theta$-2$\theta$ scan에서 0.3$^{\circ}$ 간격으로 두 개의 피크를 관찰할 수 있었는데 이는 기판과 박막간의 stress로 인한 tetragonal distortion에 의한 것으로 알려져 있었다. 따라서 기판상에 박막이 어떤 식으로 적층 성장되었는지를 RBS를 이용하여 <001>과 <011> 방향으로 2MeV He++를 주입하여 0.1$^{\circ}$ 간격으로 틸팅을 해본 결과 <001> 방향에서는 1.12$^{\circ}$의 차이를 보였다. 이는 기판과의 compressive stress로 인해 c축 방향으로 늘어났으며 stress relaxed layer는 XRD 결과와는 달리 관찰할 수 없었다. 이러한 현상의 기판 자체의 twin 구조로 인한 것으로 생각된다. RBS 분석후 고분해능 XRD를 이용해 LCMO (200) peak의 $\theta$-rocking 결과 이제R지 laAlO3 상 증착한 LCMO의 값으로는 제일 작은 0.147$^{\circ}$를 나타내었다.

In this paper, we describe an implementation of small mobile robot that can be used at research and application of mobile sensor networking. This robot that will constitute the sensor network, as a platform of multi-robot system for each to be used as sensor node, has to satisfy restrictions in many aspects in order to perform sensing, communication protocol, and application algorithms. First, the platform must be designed with a robust structure and low power consumption since its maintenance after deployment is difficult. Second, it must have flexibility and modularity to be used effectively in any structure so that it can be used in various applications. Third, it must support the technique of wireless network for ubiquitous computing environment. At last, to let many nodes be scattered, it must be cost-effective and small. Considering the above restrictions of the mobile platform for sensor network, we designed and implemented robots control the current of actuator by using additional circuit for power efficiency. And we chose MSP430 as MCU, CC2420 as RF transceiver, and etc, that have the strength in the aspect of power. For flexibility and modularity, the platform has expansion ports. The results of experiments are described to show that this robot can act as sensor node by RF communication process with Zigbee standard protocol, execute the navigation process with simple obstacle avoidance and the moving action with RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator), operate at low-power, and be made with approx. $100.

In this paper we propose a multi-protocol gateway system based on low power wireless communications. The proposed multi-protocol gateway system was designed to allow real-time monitoring and control of the on-site situation through wired and wireless networks by gathering information for streetlight power control and environmental monitoring. The sensing data using multi-sensors with composite processing that selectively used wired or wireless communication (e.g., CDMA, Ethernet (TCP/IP), GPS, etc.) were designed to act as intermediaries that transmitted to the main server through ZigBee. Inaddition, they were designed by separating a CPU board and baseboard to ensure low maintenance cost and ease of hardware replacement. The proposed multi-protocol gateway system's power, impact, continuous operation stability, and immunity test results obtained a normal operation success rate of over 95% and normal continuous operation results. Moreover, in the voltage drop test, instantaneous immunity test, and conductive RF electromagnetic field immunity test, it obtained an average rating result of "A".
