Rendezvous point is used to gather the data from sensor nodes and send to sink node efficiently in selected area. It incurs a unbalanced energy consumption nearby the rendezvous point which can shorten the network life time shortly. Thus, it is very important to select the rendezvous point effectively among all sensors in order to not drain the battery of a sensor node in construction sites. In this paper, we propose a rendezvous point replacement mechanism which considers remaining energy of nodes to prolong the network lifetime. Also, for shortening the distance of drone at the same time, it increases the probability of the near-by drone node becoming rendezvous point. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can significantly improve the network lifetime and the flight distance compared with the existing LEACH, L-LEACH algorithm.

This paper is for the a study on home healthcare system for a patient using SAW Tag. This system is useful when there's a patient in home. Many patients are wounded in restroom. But restroom is very private place and nobody want to be disturbed here. The place where the patient is most injured in the house is the toilet, and it is the point where the privacy of the individual should be kept and the patient's condition should be checked and cope with in case of emergency. And using saw tag, we can calculate position and ID through reflected rf signal. Therefore we propose a general home healthcare system. The management system utilized a seat bed system to monitor at-home patients. The system mounts a bio-signal measuring unit on a toilet seat, measures a bio-signal from the bio-signal measuring unit, and the measured bio-signal is transmitted to the main server through the user's smart phone. With proposed system, we can expand operation area to silver town where many patients are cared. In this paper we developed sensor system and saw tag positioning system and showed the result.

The construction of medium-and large-sized microgrid systems by unit area, which is being promoted worldwide, is being developed and expanded in the form of efficient operation of electric grids and independent operation in preparation for power emergencies. Therefore, for the development of the domestic electricity industry, it is urgent to analyze the current status and technology of relevant international standardization, and to make international standardization of domestic standard (draft) on the matters that need to be enacted and newly established. Campus microgrid implements smart grid element technologies such as Integrated Energy Management System(EMS), Distributed Power(DG), Energy Storage System(ESS), Demand Response(DR), and Electric Vehicle(EV) in a university campus. As a system that reduces energy use and improves energy use efficiency and energy independence, standardization is established to secure interoperability and reliability of such systems.

In this paper, we developed a hardware architecture of Reed-Solomon RS(255,239) decoder for the DMB mobile terminals. The DMB provides multimedia broadcasting service to mobile terminals, hence it should have small dimension for low power and short decoding delay for real-time processing. We modified Euclid algorithm to apply it to the key equation solving which is the most complicated part of the RS decoding. We also designed a small finite field divider to avoid the use of large Inverse-ROM table, and it consumed 17 clocks. After synthesis with Synopsis on Samsung STD130 $0.18{\mu}m$ Standard Cell library, the Euclid block had 30,228 gates and consumed 288 clocks, which gave the 25% reduced area compared to other existing designs. The size of the entire RS decoder was about 45,000 gates.

Mobile Ad-Hoc networks (MANET) has been getting the spotlight in the area of the wireless networks because of its flexibility and salability, and developing of many applications with it. As a consequence, MANETs are required to process not only simple data traffics, but also multimedia traffics, which has some constraints on the performances. However, unlike wired-networks, the wireless networks have frequent route-disconnections due to some reasons such as channel errors and mobility. Such frequent link disconnections makes the delivery of multimedia traffics difficult. Even though there many researches on multimedia transmissions on various environments, the performances of multimedia transmissions over fading channel and mobility even using various routing protocols have not been evaluated. Therefore, this paper extensively simulates the MPEG-4 video transmission over fading channel environment with node's mobility. In addition, the performances with two routing protocols such as AODV and DSR are compared. Finally, the simulation results shows that DSR protocol has the better performances to deliver MPEG-4 traffic.

Recently, indoor sports simulator equipped with virtual reality devices, like screen golf system, are riding high. There have been many attempts to develop the indoor simulator systems which can make people enjoy exercises in various sports area. A real horseback riding could not have been popularized, because of the cost involved, difficulty to learn and its dangerousness. In this research, a robotic horseback riding platform based on parallel mechanism and virtual reality device is proposed. The proposed platform provides realistic riding feels and various levels of riding difficulty. The equipped motion capture system with a vision sensor enables riders to correct their riding posture based on expert's one. The developed horseback riding platform make it possible to enjoy a horseback riding in all weather, and also can be used for systematic horseback riding training.

In this paper, the antenna of a small active RFID for 433MHz is proposed, and the proposed antenna is a kind of built-in antenna, which uses IFA structure. The performance was improved by the change of the spacing between the feed point and short strip, inserting the meander line structure in a radiator, and varying the gap between the radiator and the ground plane in the proposed antenna. To confirm the characteristics of the antenna parameters, HFSS from ANSYS Inc. was used for the analysis. The frequency band of 433MHz Active RFID is from 433.67 to 434.17 MHz. There is a value of return loss less than -9.54 dB in 433MHz band of the active RFID, and the maximum antenna gain is -4.28dBi. The Jig size of the proposed antenna is $72{\times}44{\times}1mm$, and the size of the antenna area is $35.5{\times}19.5mm$. The result proved the possibility of the practical use on miniaturized 433MHz antenna using IFA structure that came from comparing and analyzing the measured and simulated data of the antenna.

Wireless data transmission is vulnerable to attackers and hackers. Recently, the fast development of wireless communication systems seamlessly increase the demand for security in this area. Moreover, error correction is especially important because various kinds of interferences among wireless devices. In order to solve two above problems, we propose to apply MCC (M-sequence Convolutional Code) in the system which is able to protect information and correct errors. The proposed system can obtain higher secure property by randomly changing the output connections by the proposed M-sequence. Performance of the system is analyzed according to BER (Bit Error Rate) and secure levels. The simulation results revealed that we can get the coding gain of 0.1 dB over conventional convolution coding technique. The proposed algorithm is installed in physical layer and easily implemented. Another advantage of our proposed (M-sequence and convolutional code) is that it can be applied to CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) communication system.

The binary and interpolation search algorithms are the most famous among search area algorithms, the former running in $O(log_2n)$ on average, and the latter in $O(log_2log_2n)$ on average and O(n) at worst. Also, the interpolation search use only the probability of key value location without priori information. This paper proposes another search algorithm, which I term a 'hybrid block and interpolation search'. This algorithm employs the block search, a method by which MSB index of a data is determined as a block, and the interpolation search to find the exact location of the key. The proposed algorithm reduces the search range with priori information and search the reduced range with uninformed situation. Experimental results show that the algorithm has a time complexity of $O(log_2log_2n_i)$, $n_i{\simeq}0.1n$ both on average and at worst through utilization of previously acquired information on the block search. The proposed algorithm has proved to be approximately 10 times faster than the interpolation search on average.
