An integrated ship area network has functionality of remote control and autonomous management of various sensors and instruments embedded or boarded in a ship. For such environment, a wireless bridge is essential to transmit control and/or managing information to sensors or instruments from a central integrated ship area network station. In this paper, one of reliable schemes of In-ship sensor networks using a Grid-based WPAN is proposed. The proposed scheme is based on a novel grid network which allows a multi-path communication, and is robust, energy efficient. The results demonstrate that the proposed Grid-based WPAN outperforms the IEEE 802.15.4 based network in terms of success ratio and power efficiency.

오늘날의 선박은 디지털 선박(Digital-ship)으로 변화하고 있으며, 일부 유비쿼터스(Ubiquitos) 기술을 기반으로 e-Navigation 및 VTS(Vessel Traffic Service) 등 안전 항해 및 편의를 제공하고 있다. 하지만, 아직까지 선박에 대한 안전시스템이 미비하고, 선박의 주요 설비를 실시간으로 관리하기 위한 안전 관리 시스템의 개발이 매우 필요한 시기라 할 수 있다. 지금까지 선박 연구에 있어서 안전을 극대화시키기 위한 노력은 많았으나 선박의 재질(철판) 및 밀폐환경에 의해 무선 통신(Wireless Communication)을 이용한 시스템 개발은 많이 이루어지고 있지 않은 상태이다. 본 논문은 선박 내의 전파 특성을 분석하여 무선 통신을 하기 위한 최적의 조건을 찾고, 유비쿼터스 기술을 적용한 지그비 네트워크 구성으로 선박 내 엔진관리를 위한 무선 센서 네트워크(Wireless Sensor Network)의 적용 가능성을 검증하였다.

This paper studies a series of logical topology reconfiguration processes corresponding to a series of traffic demand changes in a ship backbone network. The proposed reconfiguration technique is to minimize costly changes of traffic forwarding paths and minimize the average hop distance of traffic forwarding paths in terms of ship backbone network performance simultaneously. Performance evaluation is conducted to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed reconfiguration technique. It shows that the proposed reconfiguration technique yields efficient performance in the entire series of reconfiguration processes.

In this paper, an adaptive neural network controller and its application to automatic berthing control of ship is presented. The neural network controller is trained online using adaptive interaction technique without any teaching data and off-line training phase. Firstly, the neural networks used to control rudder and propeller during automatic berthing process are presented. Finally, computer simulations of automatic ship berthing are carried out to verify the proposed controller with and without the influence of wind disturbance and measurement noise.

In this paper, we consider a two way relay network for ship-to-ship communications in a fleet, where two communicating ships exchange the information with the help of a multi-antenna relay ship. For the network, we propose a rate-aware three-phase analog network coding to improve the reliability of the information exchange with asymmetric rates. The proposed scheme allows low-complex implementation of the relay without channel estimation by generating an improved analog network coded signal with the orthogonally received signals from two ships by using only the received signal power at each antenna. In addition, the proposed scheme reduces outages in the data exchange at asymmetric rates by adopting a rate-aware relay power allocation, which is confirmed by evaluating the outage performance via simulation.

In this paper, a method of implementing a communication network in ship, which exploits a powerline-based legacy-line communication system (LLC), is presented. We develop an inductive coupling unit and a multi-interface device to connect a data communication terminal to the powerline. As a result of operation tests for the ship under working, the implemented LLC shows a transmission rate of at least 25.8 Mbps in the distance of 200 m away with 100% success rate. Thus, the system can be a useful alternative to implement a communication network in ship without additional channels. Being easy to be implemented and supporting various interfaces for data communication, the presented system will be very effective when a real-time monitoring system is launched in future digital ship.

IoT (Internet of Things) is connected to all things Internet-based people and things, things and objects that communicate information between said intelligent technologies and services. Shipping each of a variety of devices that act independently from each other, but, it is actively interlock with each other is not easy practically days. Ship it within the means of communication, the communication between the ship, the communication between ship and shore configuration, SAN (Ship Area Network), RFID/USN, broadband communications, satellite communications and IT technology to a variety of marine environments for the safe navigation the ship's safety management system for the configuration you want to discuss the plan.

As an NMEA 2000 is a standard for communicate to other electronic equipment, it implemented a Universal gateway based on this ship's network. To implement a NMEA 2000 based Universal gateway, it is porting a NMEA 2000 stack source and CAN device driver source to board, and then it connected a board that equip with various communication protocol(CAN, RS232, USB, Ethernet port). To verify converted ship's data to a developed gateway, it connected pc based simulater program and monitoring program to a developed board. so we can see a ship's data through NEMA 2000 network. We verified a gateway performance and analyzed a generated ship's data from simulator program through a monitoring program that was connected a gateway and NMEA 2000 network. so it was designed, implemented to allow monitoring through utilizing a communication method that user wants.

The concept of $k$-shortest disjoint paths is considered important because the establishment of primary and backup forwarding paths exploiting shorter distance and faster propagation time is a dominant consideration for the design of a survivable backbone network. Therefore, we need to evaluate how well the concept of $k$-shortest disjoint paths is exploited for the design of a survivable ship backbone network considering the international standard related to ship backbone networks, the IEC61162-410 standard specifying how to manage redundant message transmissions among ship devices. Performance evaluations are conducted in terms of following objective goals: link capacity, hop and distance of primary and backup paths, even distribution of traffic flows, restoration time of backup forwarding paths, and physical network topology connectivity.
