The advancement of ICT is changing every field of life. It becomes possible with the penetration of personalized devices, that is, smartphone. The boom of IoT will come when there exist diversified and personalized services. In general, we might admit that it is needed that the more privatized services than the overall serviced. Jeju Island is the only one special self-governing province in Republic of Korea and deserves to be proud of the unique culture from its long historical background. One of the very regional culture which performs by women divers, Haenyeo activity or culture, was registered as Intangible Cultural Heritage. When authors were researched Jeju Haenyeo as a worthy reserving service, we recognized that it has never considered to use any point of ICT/IoT yet. Because IoT holds the high potentiality to create any service scenario between interesting groups. We will design a few services for Haenyeo which covers their job territory or daily life, adopts up-to-date technology or method such as sensored network, smart contract and App/Web. In this paper, we intent to show the simplicity and easiness of the application of IoT not to much inconspicuous target. So, we suggest a specialized IoT service for the reservation and promotion of Haenyeo Culture. This service would be composed of sensors, IoT network and App/Web at home and office. This service can be used among interesting groups : Haenyeo, policy maker, manufacturer, service provider and culture consumer.

We address the problem of effective vehicular routing in hostile scenarios where malicious nodes intend to jeopardize the delivery of messages. Compromised vehicles can severely affect the performance of the network by a number of attacks, such as selectively dropping messages, manipulating them on the fly, and the likes. One of the best performing solutions that has been used in static wireless sensor networks to deal with these attacks is based on the concept of watchdog nodes (also known as guard nodes) that collaborate to continue the forwarding of data packets in case a malicious behavior in a neighbor node is detected. In this work, we consider the beacon-less routing algorithm for vehicular environments routing protocol, which has been previously shown to perform very well in vehicular networks, and analyze whether a similar solution would be feasible for vehicular environments. Our simulation results in an urban scenario show that watchdog nodes are able to avoid up to a 50% of packet drops across different network densities and for different number of attackers, without introducing a significant increase in terms of control overhead. However, the overall performance of the routing protocol is still far from optimal. Thus, in the case of vehicular networks, watchdog nodes alone are not able to completely alleviate these security threats.

Tracking the tactical object is a fundamental affair in network-equipped modern warfare. Geodetic coordinate system based on longitude, latitude, and height is suitable to represent the location of tactical objects considering multi platform data fusion. The motion of tactical object described as a dynamic model requires an appropriate filtering to overcome the system and measurement noise in acquiring information from multiple sensors. This paper introduces the filter suitable for multi-sensor data fusion and tactical object tracking, particularly the unscented transform(UT) and its detail. The UT in Unscented Kalman Filter(UKF) uses a few samples to estimate nonlinear-propagated statistic parameters, and UT has better performance and complexity than the conventional linearization method. We show the effects of UT-based filtering via simulation considering practical tactical object tracking scenario.

RFID/USN은 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅을 위한 핵심 기술로써 다양한 센서기술과 프로세서 집적기술 그리고 무선 네트워크 기술을 이용해서 실제 물리적 환경 정보를 원격에서 손쉽게 수집하고 모니터링 하는 것이 가능하다. 특히 의료분야는 U-Healthcare와 결합된 보건의료산업과 서비스에서 국제적인 경쟁력을 확보한 수 있을 것으로 기대되고 있다. 하지만 USN은 RFID의 표준 관리 시스템인 EPCglobal 아키텍처와 갚은 표준 프레임워크의 부재로 상호 운영 및 글로벌 센서 네트워크 구현에 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 USN의 센서 노드를 관리하는 시스템인 SIP 기반의 USN 관리 시스템 (UMS)을 제안한다. UMS는 세션 관리 기능 및 이동성 지원을 제공하는 SIP(Session Initiation Protocol)라는 인터넷 표준 프로토콜에 기반을 두고 있다. UMS 아키텍처는 기존의 SIP 아키텍처에 UUA(USN User Agent)와 UNS(USN Name Server)를 추가함으로써 이동성을 고려한 센서 노도의 위치 및 상태를 관리하게 된다. UUA는 제한된 능력의 센서 노드를 대신해 위치 등록과정을 수행하고 UNS는 센서 노드의 위치 추적을 위해 이름 변환 서비스를 제공한다. 제안하는 관리 시스템은 하나의 통일된 규격이 존재하지 않는 현재의 센서 네트워크를 통합 및 연동을 쉽게 히여 인터넷을 기반한 글로벌한 센서 네트워크 구축을 가능하게 한다. 또한, 인터넷 표준 프로토콜인 SIP를 사용하기 때문에 다른 서비스 및 프로토콜과의 연동이 쉽고 SIP 기반의 기존 자원을 재활용 활 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 제안하는 UMS를 기반으로 혈액관리 시스템의 시나리오를 통해 타당성을 검증한다.

로봇은 군사 분야로까지 활용 범위를 넓히며 다가올 미래전에서 감시경계, 적군 탐지 등 중요한 임무를 맡게 될 것으로 전망된다. 군집 로봇은 다수라는 장점으로 단일 로봇이 수행하기 어렵거나 오랜 시간이 소요된 임무를 보다 효율적으로 수행할 수 있다. 상호 간 인지 및 협업이 필수인 군집 로봇은 방대한 데이터를 주고 받으며, 이로 인해 SW의 검증이 점점 더 어려워지고 있다. 임무 검증의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해 사용하는 Hardware-in-the-loop simulation은 복잡한 군집 로봇의 SW 검증을 가능하게 하나, HILS 장치와 시뮬레이터 간 주고 받는 검증 데이터의 양이 검증 대상 시스템 수에 따라 기하급수적으로 증가하여 통신 과부하가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 군집 로봇의 임무 검증에서 발생하는 통신 과부하 문제를 해소하기 위해 디지털 트윈 기반의 통신 최적화 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 Digital Twin based Multi HILS Framework 하에서 Network DT은 Network Controller 알고리즘을 통해 임무 시나리오에 따라 각 로봇에게 네트워크 자원을 효율적으로 할당할 수 있으며, 군집에 참여하는 개별 로봇들이 요구하는 Sensor Generation Rate를 모두 만족시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 데이터 전송에 대한 실험 결과 패킷 손실 비율을 기존 15.7%에서 약 0.2%로 감소시킬 수 있었다.

Node layout optimization of structural wireless systems is investigated as a means to prolong the network lifetime without, if possible, compromising information quality of the measurement data. The trade-off between these antagonistic objectives is studied within a multi-objective layout optimization framework. A Genetic Algorithm is adopted to obtain a set of Pareto-optimal solutions from which the end user can select the final layout. The information quality of the measurement data collected from a heterogeneous WSN is quantified from the placement quality indicators of strain and acceleration sensors. The network lifetime or equivalently the network energy consumption is estimated through WSN simulation that provides realistic results by capturing the dynamics of the wireless communication protocols. A layout optimization study of a monitoring system on the Great Belt Bridge is conducted to evaluate the proposed approach. The placement quality of strain gauges and accelerometers is obtained as a ratio of the Modal Clarity Index and Mode Shape Expansion values that are computed from a Finite Element model of the monitored bridge. To estimate the energy consumption of the WSN platform in a realistic scenario, we use a discrete-event simulator with stochastic communication models. Finally, we compare the optimization results with those obtained in a previous work where the network energy consumption is obtained via deterministic communication models.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a typical, chronic neurodegenerative disease involving the concentration of dopamine, which can disrupt motor activity and cause different degrees of gait disturbance relevant to PD severity in patients. As current clinical PD diagnosis is a complex, time-consuming, and challenging task that relays on physicians' subjective evaluation of visual observations, gait disturbance has been extensively explored to make automatic detection of PD diagnosis and severity rating and provides auxiliary information for physicians' decisions using gait data from various acquisition devices. Among them, wearable sensors have the advantage of flexibility since they do not limit the wearers' activity sphere in this application scenario. In this paper, an attention-based temporal network (ATN) is designed for the time series structure of gait data (vertical ground reaction force signals) from foot sensor systems, to learn the discriminative differences related to PD severity levels hidden in sequential data. The structure of the proposed method is illuminated by Transformer Network for its success in excavating temporal information, containing three modules: a preprocessing module to map intra-moment features, a feature extractor computing complicated gait characteristic of the whole signal sequence in the temporal dimension, and a classifier for the final decision-making about PD severity assessment. The experiment is conducted on the public dataset PDgait of VGRF signals to verify the proposed model's validity and show promising classification performance compared with several existing methods.

Simulations are currently an essential tool to develop and test wireless sensor networks (WSNs) protocols and to analyze future WSNs applications performance. Researchers often simulate their proposals rather than deploying high-cost test-beds or develop complex mathematical analysis. However, simulation results rely on physical layer assumptions, which are not usually accurate enough to capture the real behavior of a WSN. Such an issue can lead to mistaken or questionable results. Besides, most of the envisioned applications for WSNs consider the nodes to be at the ground level. However, there is a lack of radio propagation characterization and validation by measurements with nodes at ground level for actual sensor hardware. In this paper, we propose to use a low-computational cost, two slope, log-normal path­loss near ground outdoor channel model at 868 MHz in WSN simulations. The model is validated by extensive real hardware measurements obtained in different scenarios. In addition, accurate model parameters are provided. This model is compared with the well-known one slope path-loss model. We demonstrate that the two slope log-normal model provides more accurate WSN simulations at almost the same computational cost as the single slope one. It is also shown that the radio propagation characterization heavily depends on the adjusted model parameters for a target deployment scenario: The model parameters have a considerable impact on the average number of neighbors and on the network connectivity.

The applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are progressively adopting for various smart home services such as home automation, controlling smart home household appliances, constrained application services in a smart home, etc. However, enabling a seamless and ubiquitous WSN communication between the smart home appliances is still a challenging job. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a smart home control system using an Actuator based ZigBee networking (AZNET). The working of the proposed system is further divided into three phases, 1) an interference avoidance system is adopted to mitigate the effect of interference caused due to the co-existence of IEEE 802.11x based wireless local area networks (WLAN) and WSN, 2) a sensor-based smart light control system is used to fulfill the light requirement in the smart home using the sunlight with light source, and 3) an autonomous home management system is used to regulate the usage time of the electronic appliances in the smart home. The smart is tested in real time environment to use the sunlight with light sources in a various time of the day. Similarly, the performance of the proposed smart home is verified through simulation using C# programming language. The results and analysis revealed that the proposed smart home is less affected by the interference and efficient in reducing the energy consumption of the appliances available in the smart home scenario.
