Machine to machine (M2M) communication is a converged ICT(Information and Communications Technology) platform which can utilize communications services among people and things anytime, any place in realtime. The M2M platform consists of three components; M2M area networks sensing and generating data of things by various sensors and devices; public networks transporting those data; and M2M applications utilizing the aggregated data. There exist however two practical obstacles to realize the M2M communications in terms of interoperability between the WCDMA-based public network and the local networks based on W-Fi or ZigBee; one is the cost problem required to access the public network, and the other is the lack of a cost-effective modem or gateway to connect two different networks. In this paper, we proposed and implemented a novel M2M platform based on PWW (Person Area Network) which can resolve those two issues by using a proposed gateway connecting the local network and smartphones as application devices without access the WCDMA-based public network. We have shown that the proposed platform is very practical to adopt to the real environment by actual testing with the own developed smartphone applications.

네트워크 기기분야에서는 정보통신기기 및 고속 멀티미디어 데이터 수요의 증가에 따라 네트워크 기기의 전력소비가 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 특히 홈 네트워크 기기들은 전원이 연결되어 있는 상태로 동작하여 데이터 통신이 발생하지 않는 상황에서도 일정한 전력소모가 발생하므로 이에 대한 대처기술이 마련되어야 한다. 본 논문에서 대기전력 지원 홈게이트웨이 시스템 구현을 위하여 하드웨어를 설계하고 저전력 대기모드 지원 네트워크 프로토콜 인터페이스 개발하였으며 홈게이트웨이 시뮬레이터 S/W를 개발하여 홈게이트웨이의 기능을 시험테스트 하였다. 시뮬레이터 시험결과 각 네트워크 포트에서 발생된 트래픽에 따라 홈게이트웨이의 전원 모드가 변경됨을 확인할 수 있었으며 대기모드 시 소모 전력이 1W 미안으로 측정되었다.

IPTV functions not only as media player that does play the broadcasting industry's contents, also as the gateway is guaranteed of QoS(Quality of Service). This is for free contents-sharing that device stores contents using home network circumstance, and is for watching with seamless network service. Also this have required next QoS model that can handle stably as it may contain more data of the small computing device in next generation home system. We need ubiquitous-oriented QoS's design and development project that focuses on internal and external media service, not the existing QoS nor one-sided QoS of media sevice industry. This paper focuses on network module development. This supports IPTV in media industry and two-way capability of QoS highlighting multimedia service in network industry. In additional, this can handle stably the multiplex signal of USN/RFID as the representative ubiquitous and home network that services high-speed wire and wireless interface, and support the seamless u-QoS.

In a marine ubiquitous sensor network (USN) system using expensive sensors in the harsh ocean environment, it is very important to discover failures and devise recovery techniques to deal with such failures. Therefore, in order to perform failure modeling, this study analyzes the USN-based real-time water quality monitoring service of the Gaduri Aqua Farms at Songdo Island of Yeosu, South Korea and devises methods of discovery and recovery of failure by classifying the types of failure into system element failure, communication failure, and data failure. In particular, to solve problems from the perspective of data, this study defines data integrity and data consistency for use in identifying data failure. This study, by identifying the exact type of failure through analysis of the cause of failure, proposes criteria for performing relevant recovery. In addition, the experiments have been made to suggest the duration as to how long the data should be stored in the gateway when such a data failure occurs.

In this paper, we present a Smart Water Treatment Plant using Zigbee USN devices and a real-time monitoring system in K-water Flow Meter Calibration Center Building. For verification, the data of vertical type WTP such as flow rate, pressure, water level and water temperature are obtained by the Zigbee USN devices, operating in 2.45 GHz band, and be wirelessly surveilled by the real-time monitoring system. The received data from the sensor is transmitted to the data processing device, and then the processed data can be monitored on a smart phone. Consequently, the pilot plant based on the low-cost and high-efficiency USN has been developed with the performance analysis for the communication network and remote monitoring system on mobile devices.

Telematics, one of the so-called New Growth Engine of IT839, is a leading IT service where wireless internet service represented by information and mobility is extended to the area of transportation. To provide telematics service, Telematics service provider have to connect with various Contents Provider or Service Provide server - for example - LBSS(Location Based Service Server), ASPS(Application Service Provider Server), TELICS(TELematics Information Center Server), GMS(Geo-mobility Server), WTPS(World Telematics Protocol Server) and MAUS(Map Air Update Server). Presently, It is nearly impossible or very difficult for the company that are manufacturing and testing telematics device to develop and test telematics solution without connecting Telematics Service Provider, Service Provider, Contents Provider. And, it is very difficult to connect in TSP, CP, SP having the product to be developed. In this paper, we proposed virtual telematics service provider. The proposed Virtual Telematics Service Provider is to provide telematics services and functionalities by integrating telematics servers into TSP gateway virtually. In other words, VTSP is performs with the role of TSP, CP, SP. And the VTSP support integration of telematics servers, interfacing and monitoring between terminal and the integrated servers.

보안 시스템에 사용되는 많은 감시 카메라들이 RS-485 통신 방식을 통해 제어된다. 이러한 상황에서 RS-485 연결을 센서 네트워크 기술을 이용한 무선 연결로 대체할 수 있다면 선으로 연결할 필요가 없어 설치가 쉬워지고 카메라의 배치 또한 자유로워 질 것이다. 본 논문은 RS-485 연결을 대체할 수 있는 무선 센서 네트워크 기반의 감시 카메라 제어 시스템에 대한 개발로 홈게이트웨이와 무선 센서 노드, 스마트폰 감시 카메라 제어 어플리케이션의 개발 및 구현에 대해 설명한다. 홈 게이트웨이는 유 무선 인터넷 뿐만 아니라 무선 센서 네트워크를 지원하도록 설계되었으며 MicaZ 기반의 센서 노드는 RS-485 인터페이스로 카메라와 연결된다. 넓은 지역에 분산된 보안 카메라들을 제어하기 위해 멀티-홉 또한 지원하도록 구현되었다. 보안 시스템의 감시 카메라들은 스마트폰 기반의 어플리케이션에 의해 제어 된다. 실제 환경에 배치하여 실험한 결과, 스마트폰에서의 카메라 제어에 대해 실제 카메라가 매우 빠르게 반응하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Underwater sensor networks (USN) for ocean development and disaster prevention have been emerged as one of interesting research topics recently. Since a high-speed and inexpensive communication modem is a prerequisite for deployment of USN, we design and implement an underwater modem by utilizing general-purpose waterproof ultrasonic sensors in this paper. We also make experiments in indoor and outdoor environment with two modems facing each other to conduct a point-to-point communication. According to the experiments, we can achieve the data rates of 1.5 kbps in a water tank and 2 kbps in a pond. Also, the maximum communication distance between two modems is about 30 meters. Besides, we conduct a point-to-multipoint experiment imitating USN by deploying a gateway, a sink node and three sensor nodes in a water tank.

As long span and complex bridges are constructed often recently, safety estimation became a big issue. Various types of measuring instruments are installed in case of long span bridge. New wireless technologies for long span bridges such as sending information through a gateway at the field or sending it through cables by signal processing the sensing data are applied these days. However, The case of occurred accidents related to bridge in the world have been reported that serious accidents occur due to lack of real-time proactive, intelligent action based on recognition accidents. To solve this problem in this study, the idea of "communication among things", which is the basic method of RFID/USN technology, is applied to the bridge monitoring system. A sensor node module for USN based intelligent bridge system in which sensor are utilized on the bridge and communicates interactively to prevent accidents when it captures the alert signals and urgent events, sends RF wireless signal to the nearest traffic signal to block the traffic and prevent massive accidents, is designed and tested by performing TinyOS based middleware design and sensor test free Space trans-receiving distance.
