Energy harvesting devices have been proposed for sensor networking applications where batteries cannot be replaced, and cooperative communication schemes have been used to increase energy efficiency for wireless systems. Here, we develop transmission scheduling schemes for multi-terminal cooperative energy harvesting networks that maximize the packet delivery ratio, i.e., the probability that an event is reported successfully. We see that the proposed scheme provides virtually the same performance as the state-of-the-art threshold-based scheme, but does not require auxiliary parameter optimization. The proposed scheme also permits extensions to multiple cooperating nodes and sources, and it can be modified to accommodate fairness constraints.

센서 노드의 주 기능은 각종 센서를 탑재하여 구동시키고 측정 결과 값을 게이트웨이로 전송하는 일인데, 이를 위한 소프트웨어는 임베디드 운영체제를 활용하거나 일반적인 펌웨어 형태로 개발할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 센서 노드에 운영체제를 도입하지 않고 간단한 펌웨어 형태로 센서를 구동시키기 위한 일정한 형태를 갖춘 구동기 틀을 구현하고 실험한다. 제안된 구동기 틀의 목적은 형태의 통일성에 의한 센서 구동기 작성의 편리성 제공에 있다. 온도 센서인 TC1047AVNB의 구동기를 Atmega2560 노드에서 구현하고 실험한 결과 올바른 동작을 확인할 수 있었다.

The sensor network standard DASH7 was proposed to improve transmission quality and low power communication. Specifications for the standard are currently being developed, so the security specification has not been firmly implemented. However, without a security specification, a network cannot work due to threats from malicious users. Thus we must ensure confidentiality and authentication of data packets by using a cryptography method. To contribute to the DASH7 security specification, this paper shows the implementation results of network and data link layer security by using advanced encryption standard (AES) counter with CBC-MAC (CCM) over CC430 sensor nodes.

In this paper, we propose an Energy Efficient Media Access Control (EE-MAC) protocol for wireless sensor networks. The proposed scheme is designed to save power consumption and guarantee quality-of-service for real-time traffic. EE-MAC uses the superframe structure which is bounded by the transmission of a beacon frame and can have an active and an inactive portion. The active period is divided into the contention free period (CFP) for real-time traffic transmission and the contention access period (CAP) for non-real-time traffic transmission. We propose the exclusively allocated backoff scheme which assigns a unique backoff time value to each real-time node based on bandwidth allocation and admission control. This scheme can avoid collision between real-time nodes by controlling distributed fashion and take effect a statistical time division multiple access. We also propose the algorithm to change the duty cycle adaptively according to channel utilization of media depending on network traffic load. This algorithm can prolong network lifetime by reducing the amount of energy wasted on idle listening.

This paper describes a structured overlay network scheme based on multiple different time intervals. Many types of data (e.g., sensor data) can be requested at specific time intervals that depend on the user and the system. These queries are referred to as "interval queries." A method for constructing an overlay network that efficiently processes interval queries based on multiple different time intervals is proposed herein. The proposed method assumes a ring topology and assigns nodes to a keyspace based on one-dimensional time information. To reduce the number of forwarded messages for queries, each node constructs shortcut links for each interval that users tend to request. This study confirmed that the proposed method reduces the number of messages needed to process interval queries. The contributions of this study include the clarification of interval queries with specific time intervals; establishment of a structured overlay network scheme based on multiple different time intervals; and experimental verification of the scheme in terms of communication load, delay, and maintenance cost.

The distance vector-hop (DV-Hop) is one of the emblematic algorithms that use node connectivity for locating, which often accompanies by a large positioning error. To reduce positioning error, the bio-inspired algorithm and weight optimization model are introduced to address positioning. Most scholars argue that the weight value decreases as the hop counts increases. However, this point of view ignores the intrinsic relationship between the error and weight. To address this issue, this paper constructs the relationship model between error and hop counts based on actual communication characteristics of sensor nodes in wireless sensor network. Additionally, we prove that the error converges to 1/6CR when the hop count increase and tendency to infinity. Finally, this paper presents a modified error-oriented weight positioning model, and implements it with genetic algorithm. The experimental results demonstrate excellent robustness and error removal.

무선 통신에서는 무선 통신의 브로드캐스트한 특성으로 데이터의 기밀성 유지를 위한 암호화가 매우 중요하다. 특히 무선 센서 네트워크(WSN - Wireless Sensor Network)의 경우 일반적인 PC와는 다르게 다양한 환경에 위치할 수 있어 공격자에게 더 쉽게 노출 될 수 있는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이런 환경에서 미리 저장된 해쉬 함수나 비밀 값에 의존한 키 분배를 할 경우 저장된 값이 노출될 경우 심각한 문제를 초래하게 된다. 그리고 D-H 키 분배 알고리즘의 경우 키 값을 안전하게 도출을 할 수 있지만 키를 도출한 대상에 대한 인증의 부재와 멀티 홉 환경에서 중간자 공격에 취약한 문제점을 드러내고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 문제를 해결하기위해 기존 연구를 응용하여 멀티 홉 환경에서 무선 통신의 특성을 이용한 비밀값 공유와 제 3의 노드를 이용한 간단한 인증이 가능한 기법을 제안한다.

The limited computing power of sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and data tampering during wireless transmission are two important issues. In this paper, we propose a scheme for independent individual authentication of WSNs data based on digital watermarking technology. Digital watermarking suits well for WSNs, owing to its lower computational cost. The proposed scheme uses independent individual to generate a digital watermark and embeds the watermark in current data item. Moreover, a sink node extracts the watermark in single data and compares it with the generated watermark, thereby achieving integrity verification of data. Inherently, individual validation differs from the grouping-level validation, and avoids the lack of grouping robustness. The improved performance of individual integrity verification based on proposed scheme is validated through experimental analysis. Lastly, compared to other state-of-the-art schemes, our proposed scheme significantly reduces the false negative rate by an average of 5%, the false positive rate by an average of 80% of data verification, and increases the correct verification rate by 50% on average.

일반적으로 센서 네트워크에서는 라우팅 트리를 구축한 후에 시간 동기화 작업을 따로 진행하였다. 그 때문에 패킷교환의 횟수가 늘어나고 전력의 소모를 유발한다. 본 논문에서는 라우팅 트리 구축과정에서 교환하는 정방향과 역방향의 패킷에 LTS(Lightweight Time Synchronization) 알고리즘 연산에 필요한 시간정보를 추가하여 플러딩 라우팅 트리 구축 알고리즘과 시간 동기화 과정을 결합한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 일정한 라운드 시간을 사용하여 클럭 휨으로 인한 시간 오류를 보정하였다. 제안하는 알고리즘이 TPSN(Timing-sync Protocol for Sensor Networks) 방식보다 적은 에너지를 사용하고 센서 노드들 간의 시간을 더욱 정교하게 동기화한다는 것을 NS2 시뮬레이터를 통해서 증명하였다.
