A new two dimensional (2-D) analytical model for the Threshold Voltage on dual material surrounding gate (DMSG) MOSFETs is presented in this paper. The parabolic approximation technique is used to solve the 2-D Poisson equation with suitable boundary conditions. The simple and accurate analytical expression for the threshold voltage and sub-threshold swing is derived. It is seen that short channel effects (SCEs) in this structure is suppressed because of the perceivable step in the surface potential which screens the drain potential. We demonstrate that the proposed model exhibits significantly reduced SCEs, thus make it a more reliable device configuration for high speed wireless communication than the conventional single material surrounding gate (SMSG) MOSFETs.

Although the deployment of wireless sensors for structural sensing and monitoring is becoming popular, supplying power to these sensors remains as a daunting task. To address this issue, there have been large volume of ongoing energy harvesting studies that aimed to find a way to scavenge energy from surrounding ambient energy sources such as vibration, light and heat. In this study, a magnetic resonance based wireless power transfer (MR-WPT) system is proposed so that sensors inside a concrete structure can be wirelessly powered by an external power source. MR-WPT system offers need-based active power transfer using an external power source, and allows wireless power transfer through 300-mm thick reinforced concrete with 21.34% and 17.29% transfer efficiency at distances of 450 mm and 500 mm, respectively. Because enough power to operate a typical wireless sensor can be instantaneously transferred using the proposed MR-WPT system, no additional energy storage devices such as rechargeable batteries or supercapacitors are required inside the wireless sensor, extending the expected life-span of the sensor.

Neural stimulating implantable medical devices (IMDs) have been widely used to treat neurological diseases or interface with sensory feedback for amputees or patients suffering from severe paralysis. More recent IMDs, such as retinal implants or brain-computer interfaces, demand higher performance to enable sophisticated therapies, while consuming power at higher orders of magnitude to handle more functions on a larger scale at higher rates, which limits the ability to supply the IMDs with primary batteries. Inductive power transmission across the skin is a viable solution to power up an IMD, while it demands high power efficiencies at every power delivery stage for safe and effective stimulation without increasing the surrounding tissue's temperature. This paper reviews various wireless neural stimulating systems and their power management techniques to maximize IMD power efficiency. We also explore both wireless electrical and optical stimulation mechanisms and their power requirements in implantable neural interface applications.

This paper proposes a new network coordinator node design to select the most suitable wireless technology for WBANs by using fuzzy logic. Its goal is to select a wireless communication technology available considering the user/application requirements and network conditions. A WBAN is composed of a set of sensors placed in, on, or around human body, which monitors the human body functions and the surrounding environment. In an effort to send sensor readings from human body to medical center or a station, a WBAN needs to stay connected to a local or a wide area network by using various wireless communication technologies. Nowadays, several wireless networking technologies may be utilized in WLANs and/or WANs each of which is capable of sending WBAN sensor readings to the desired destination. Therefore, choosing the best serving wireless communications technology has critical importance to provide quality of service support and cost efficient connections for WBAN users. In this work, we have developed, modeled, and simulated some networking scenarios utilizing our fuzzy logic-based NCN by using OPNET and MATLAB. Besides, we have compared our proposed fuzzy logic based algorithm with widely used RSSI-based AP selection algorithm. The results obtained from the simulations show that the proposed approach provides appropriate outcomes for both the WBAN users and the overall network.

A wireless sensor network is emerging technology and intelligent wireless communication paradigm that is dynamically aware of its surrounding environment. It is also able to respond to it in order to achieve reliable and efficient communication. The dynamical cognition capability and environmental adaptability rely on organizing dynamical networks effectively. However, optimally clustering the cognitive wireless sensor networks is an NP-complete problem. The objective of this paper is to develop an optimal sensor network design for maximizing the performance. This proposed Ranking Artificial Bee Colony (RABC) is developed based on Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) with ranking strategy. The ranking strategy can make the much better solutions by combining the best solutions so far and add these solutions in the solution population when applying ABC. RABC is designed to adapt to topological changes to any network graph in a time. We can minimize the total energy dissipation of sensors to prolong the lifetime of a network to balance the energy consumption of all nodes with robust optimal solution. Simulation results show that the performance of our proposed RABC is better than those of previous methods (LEACH, LEACH-C, and etc.) in wireless sensor networks. Our proposed method is the best for the 100 node-network example when the Sink node is centrally located.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 네트워크의 수명을 증가시키기 위해 주변 환경으로부터 에너지를 수집하거나, 무선 전력 전송으로 직접 에너지를 전달하는 방법이 사용되고 있다. 또한 에너지의 불균형을 줄이고 데이터의 수집량을 증가시키기 위해 직접 센서 노드를 방문해서 자료를 수집하는 모바일 싱크 노드를 활용한 방법이 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 환경에서 각 센서 노드가 네트워크 환경과 에너지를 고려하여 Minimum Depth Tree (MDT)를 구성하고 자식 노드에 자료수집량을 할당해줌으로써 중계 노드의 부하를 줄이고 전체적으로 많은 데이터를 고르게 수집하는 기법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 본 기법은 기존의 다른 기법에 비해 에너지 고갈을 효과적으로 억제하고 더 많은 자료를 수집하는 것을 보여준다.

Traditionally SCADA is connected only in a limited private network. With new technology and facilities, there are also demands of connecting SCADA though the internet. The internet SCADA facility has brought a lot of advantages in terms of control, data viewing and generation. Aside from connecting SCADA to the internet, there are also operators who want to connect their system wirelessly. This can save budget for communication lines. Along with the advantages it brings, are security issues regarding wireless internet SCADA. In this paper, we discuss internet SCADA, its connection through wireless communication and the security issues surrounding it. To answer the security issues, a symmetric-key encryption for internet SCADA is proposed.

제 4 세대 이동 통신망 SB12K(Systems Beyond IMI 2000)의 사용화가 예상되고 무선 랜 사용자의 이동서비스(mobile service) 요구가 증가됨에 따라 단말기의 이동성(mobility)을 지원하는 새로운 인증 방법이 요구된다. 무선 랜은 전파라는 전송매체를 사용하기 때문에 보안에 취약하다. 현재 무선 랜의 보안기능을 일관성 있게 제공하는 기술로 WPKI (Wireless Public Key Infrastructure)가 있다. WPKI는 인증서 사용이 필수적인데, 이것은 인증서 검증 및 CRL검색으로 인하여 핸드오프 성능에 많은 부담으로 작용된다. 본 논문에서는 무선 랜의 안정적인 이동 서비스를 위해 WPKI의 기술을 사용하면서 핸드오프에 영향을 주지 않는 기법을 제시한다. 제시한 기법은 통신 데이터의 암호화에 필요한 비밀 키를 단말과 로밍 서버가 선행하여 습득하는 것이다.
