Sensor networks consist of sensor nodes with small size, low cost, lowpower consumption, and multi-functions to sense, to process and to communicate. The main issue in sensor networks has been focused on minimizing power consumption of sensors to maximize network life time. In some critical applications, however, the most important issue is to transmitsensing information to the end user (the sink node) with reliability. Reliable information forwarding using multiple paths in sensor networks (ReinForM) has been proposed to achieve desired reliability in the error-prone channel, but it needs increasing transmission riverhead as the channel error rate becomes high and the number of hops between the source node and the sink node increases. In this paper, we propose a reliable transmission rnechanissmusing intermediate source nodes in sensor networks (ReTrust) to reduce packet overhead while keeping the desired reliability. ReTrust has beenshown to provide desired reliability and reduced overhead via simulationsand analysis.

This paper describes the realization of ubiquitous healthcare monitoring system using wearable pulse oximeter based on a wireless sensor network. In order to obtain information of oxygen saturation from a patient, a small size and low power consumption wearable pulse oximeter was designed. Information of oxygen saturation collected by wireless sensor node was transmitted wirelessly to a base-station for storage and display purposes via wireless sensor network. Wireless sensor nodes were programmed by TinyOS application to perform data acquisition and transmission. Lab VIEW server program was designed to monitor information of oxygen saturation and process the measured PPG (photo plethysmogram) signals to APG(Accelerated plethysmogram) signals by appling second order derivatives. PPG signals are simple and cost effective technique to measure blood volume change.

There are many modern societies use the digital products in everyday life in the Middle, convenience, give him plenty of Bluetooth is one of the users. Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15.1) means equipment in the close range between the low-power wireless communication standard for the connection to use the technology. Currently, Bluetooth earphone, Bluetooth speaker, wearable mounted devices also used a lot because it takes people to exploit the benefits had been lifted and thereby increases your damage. So, reducing the damage the user's further research about the security technique that can stop completely. I am sure that many Bluetooth hacking techniques, a Bluetooth device firmware vulnerability within the stored data to allow the approach to attacking the BlueTooth Snarfing and want to analyze.

In the evolution from wireless sensor networks(WSNs) to ubiquitous sensor networks(USNs), technologies that can support intensive data-traffic loads, large number of users, improved interoperability, and extreme longevity are required. Therefore, efficient communication time coordination control and low power consumption becomes one of the most important design goals for USN MAC protocols. So far several time division multiplexed (TDM) MAC protocols have been proposed. However, since the pros and cons of existing protocols are not easy to analyze, it becomes a challenging task to design improved TOM MAC protocols. Based on this objective, this paper provides a novel protocol analysis along with a message complexity derivation and comparison of the existing TDM MAC protocols.

6LoWPAN is IPv6 packets transmission technology at Sensor network over the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard MAC and Physical layer. Adaptation layer between IP layer and MAC layer performs fragmentation and reassembly of packet for transmit IPv6 packets. RFC4944, IETF 6LoWPAN WG standard document define packet fragmentation and reassembly. In this paper, we propose the IRM(Immediate Retransmission Method) and SRM(Selective Retransmission Method) to manage packet fragmentation and reassembly at 6LoWPAN. Each time destination receives a fragmented packet, it sends Ack message to the source node on IRM. However, on SRM, the destination node receives all fragmented packet, it sends Ack message or Nak message to the source node. In this case, Nak message include the dropped packet number. To compare the performance of the proposed schemes, we develop a simulator using C++. The result of simulation shows the proposed schemes provider better performance than RFC4944 standard scheme.

Long Term Evolution (LTE) - Advanced has developed Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) that consists of a mix of macrocells and low-power nodes such as picocells to improve the system performance. Also, to encourage data offloading in HetNet, Cell Range Expansion (CRE) have been introduced. In this paper, we propose a cell selection scheme based on Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) for optimal offloading effect. And we manage the interference for user located in cell range expanded region using Almost Blank Subframe (ABS) with flexible ABS ratio to improve the spectrum efficiency in time domain. Simulation results show that proposed scheme can improve spectrum efficiency of macrocell and picocell user. Eventually, proposed scheme can imporve overall user performance.

The Interest in robotics has been steadily increasing in recent times both in Korea as well as abroad. Research on robots for new and diverse fields is ongoing. This study discusses the current research and development on robot actuator, which are used to control the joints of robots, and focuses on developing more efficient technology for joint control, as compared with the current technologies. It also aims to find means to apply the abovementioned technology to diverse industrial fields. We found that easy and effective control of actuators could be achieved by using ZigBee sensor networks, which were widely being used on wireless communications. Throughout the experiments it is proved that the developed wireless actuator could be used for easy control of various robot joints. This technology can be effectively applied to develop two-legged robots that will be able to walk like human, or even quadruped and hexapod robots. It can also be applied to motors used in industry. In this study, we develop an extremely minimized ZigBee sensor network module that can be used to control various servo motors with low power consumption even if it is long distances. We realized effective wireless control by optimizing the ZigBee antenna, and were able to quickly check the status of relevant Tree node through mutual communication between the servo motors composing the ZigBee sensor network and the main server control modules. The developed Servo Motor with ZigBee sensor network modules can be applied in both robotics as well as for home or factory automation.

In the many countries, research about ultra wideband wireless transmission technique is widely studied for efficient utilization of frequency resource due to a sudden increase of demand of frequency resource all over the world. The ultra wideband communication system has the some specific advantages. First, it can transmit data with high speed, second short transmission range can increase the frequency reuse rate, and finally it has high security property. However, there is a interference between ultra wideband system and other communication system but study to solve this problem is insufficient. To efficient utilization of limited frequency resource, a novel frequency avoidance technique and setup the standardization of frequency interference must need. So, the purpose of this paper is that increases communication efficiency of microwave communication systems to analyze the technical trends for transmission of the low power device, and to research the implementation and technical research of wireless access network technique of wideband communication systems.

WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network) have many advantages such as using low power and cheap price, small size. So it is recently increasing application range such as personal portable device, home network and sensor network so and on. IEEE 802.15.3 basically has the point to point or peer to peer UM(Usage Model). But using devises that need data transmission is increasing in the house and office. Therefor UM of point to multipoint is proposed. In this paper, I proposed Multicast ACK mechanism on the point to multipoint UM. So it is able to transfer data to multiple devices as this Multicast transfer method at a time. Thus, throughput performance is improved. But the problem that increases data transfer delay is appeared because of adding Multicast ACK traffic. We compared the performance between standard and proposed mechanism through a numerical analysis.

This paper presents 3D simulation by STAR-CCM+ for lean premixed combustion in a stationary gas turbine combustor with separate pilot and main nozzles. The constant for the source term in the flame area density transport equation was modified to account for a low global equivalence ratio and validated against measurement data. A Partially-premixed Coherent Flame Model(PCFM) involves propagation of a laminar premixed flame with the predicted flame surface density and equilibrium assumption in the burned gas with spatial inhomogeneity. The conditions for cooling by radiation and convection are considered for accurate determination of the heat flux on the wall. A parametric study is of the pilot-fuel-to-total-fuel-ratio is carried out. A chemical reactor network (CRN) was constructed on the basis of the 3D simulation results and compared against measurements of NOx.
