This paper presents a flexible low-profile antenna sensor for fatigue crack detection and monitoring. The sensor was inspired by the sense of pain in bio-systems as a protection mechanism. Because the antenna sensor does not need wiring for power supply or data transmission, it is an ideal candidate as sensing elements for the implementation of engineering sensor skins with a dense sensor distribution. Based on the principle of microstrip patch antenna, the antenna sensor is essentially an electromagnetic cavity that radiates at certain resonant frequencies. By implementing a metallic structure as the ground plane of the antenna sensor, crack development in the metallic structure due to fatigue loading can be detected from the resonant frequency shift of the antenna sensor. A monostatic microwave radar system was developed to interrogate the antenna sensor remotely. Fabrication and characterization of the antenna sensor for crack monitoring as well as the implementation of the remote interrogation system are presented.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm that improve network lifetime by adjusting cluster size according to location information of sensor node in wireless sensor network (WSN) using clustering technique. The sensed information in each cluster transfers to sink node through inter-cluster communications. Cluster head (CH) that nearby located in sink node much more spend own energy than far away CHs, because nearer CH forwards more data, so network lifetime is decreased. Proposed algorithm minimizes energy consumption in adjacent cluster to sink node by decreasing cluster site, and improve CH lifetime by distributing transmission paths. As a result of analysis, the proposed algorithm shows longer network lifetime in WSN.

The wireless sensor networking standard DASH7 operates in low-power communication with a better transmission quality in active RFID networks. The DASH7 security standard supports public key cryptography. At present, the DASH7 standard uses the message authentication code in the network layer for authentication and integrity. However, its security standard is still in an incubation stage with respect to the implementation of a crypto exchange over a DASH7 network. Effective key management is an important factor for privacy and security. If organizations are not careful about where and how keys are stored, they leave the encrypted data vulnerable to theft. In this regard, we present a key management system designed for efficient key management through public key infrastructure authentication as well as a non-repudiation feature for the DASH7 standard. We analyze the performance of the proposed system on a basis of various performance criteria such as latency and throughput.

Resource allocation methods are proposed to address the problem of how flexibly allocate limited wireless resource to high bandwidth demanded realtime class with certain QoS guarantees in CDMA/TDD systems. In this method, A reserved access scheme is used for allocating the resource to realtime and non-realtime class respectively. We also propose a slot allocation algorithm for the CDMA/TDD system, which can prevent the performance degradation due to the interlink interference in each cell. Our framework is able to guarantee QoS continuity of realtime class and carry the maximum number of non-realtime subscriber. System performance of proposed method is evaluated by considering transmission delay, channel utilization and data loss, assuming a practical multi-cell environment and a multimedia service model. Our simulation results demonstrate the significant performance improvement.

오늘날 인터넷 환경에서의 망은 유무선의 환경이 통합된 하나의 망으로 달수 있다. 일반적인 TCP에서는 무선망에서의 핸드오프나 비트오류 등으로 인한 패킷 손실이 발생하는 경우에도 흔잡제어 알고리즘으로 손실된 패킷을 복구하게 되며 이러한 복구는 혼잡윈도우를 줄이게 됨으로 인해 현저히 TCP의 처리량을 감소시키게 된다. 본 논문에서는 유무선이 통합된 망에서 데이터 전송 효율을 높일 수 있는 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다. 이 알고리즘에서는 홈서버를 사용하여 무선망에서 발생한 패킷 손실이 종단간의 재전송이 아닌 홈서버에서 지역 재전송을 함으로써 유무선망의 부하를 줄이고 흔잡제어 알고리즘이 실행되는 것을 방지하여 TCP의 성능향상을 가져올 수 있으며 캐쉬메모리에 재전송 패킷을 보관하여 재전송함으로써 보다 빠른 재전송효과를 얻을 수 있다.

In this paper, we have studied a dimming level control method to satisfy both lighting and communication performance in visible light communication system. In the case of the most commonly used OOK and RZ-OOK modulation schemes, continuous Burst Zero Duration will seriously degrade the lighting function. This causes not only the illumination but also the performance of the entire system to deteriorate. Through this study, we analyzed the dimming level characteristics of the existing system and proposed the Illegal Pulse Insertion (IPI) algorithm as a technique to increase the dimming level. Through this, it is possible to effectively control the dimming level and improve the QoS of both lighting and communication by resolving the flicker phenomenon and dimming level reduction in the existing modulation and demodulation system.

In wireless communications, chaotic communications have been a field of interest due to its low complexity in hardware implementation and low power consumption in chaotic signal generation. Among the modulation schemes using the chaotic signal, Differential Chaos Shift Keying (DCSK) is a robust non coherent technique. As in the conventional communication systems, chaos-based systems are required to provide reasonable bit error performance in the presence of a narrow-band signal coming from any other systems. The frequency band of this foreign narrow band signal may lie within the bandwidth of the chaos-based systems. This situation may occur when chaotic signal transmission is done in the presence of other conventional communication system. This paper has evaluated the performance of the non coherent differential chaos shift keying (DCSK) system under the presence of conventional non-chaotic transmit reference system. Both systems are assumed to have same data rates. The mathematical expressions for the bit error rate (BER) are derived with computer simulations to verify the analytical results.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a attractive modulation scheme for high data rate transmission in frequency-selective channels. However, the time selectivity of wireless channel introduces intercarrier interference (ICI), and consequently degrades system performance. In this paper, we first propose a novel recursive algorithm for minimum mean squared error (MMSE) with successive interference cancellation (SIC). The proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the complexity of the MMSE-SIC scheme and achieve the same performance when optimal ordering is known. Also, the further reduced scheme of the proposed algorithm can be developed based on ICI properties, while preserving performance.

The newly introduced model of a STTC-based Distributed Wireless Communication System (DWCS) can provide the capability of joint control of the signals at multiple cells. This paper has considered the virtual cell systems: the Dual Virtual Cell (DVC), and also proposes DVC employment strategy based on DWCS network. The considered system constructs DVC by using antenna selection method. Also, for multi-user high-rate data transmission, the proposed system introduces multiple antenna technology to get a spatial and temporal diversity gain and exploits space-time trellis codes known as STTC to increase a spectral efficiency.
