This paper proposes a method to endow the mobility to the Zigbee protocol which is a short distance wireless communication technology among the standards of wireless sensor networks. The Zigbee has a low price, long life battery, simple structure and connectivity. So it is a suitable standard for the short distance wireless communication of $10m{\sim}70m$. As the Zigbee does not support the mobility, additional factors should be studied to deal adeptly with the diverse change in the real field. By solving the problem that the previous connection and binding table of the Zigbee end device should be reset due to the Zigbee end device address variation when the Zigbee end device moves from the present router to another router, this paper presents the method to communicate without data loss or disconnection.

In this paper, we study a scheduling problem based on reinforcement learning for overlay device-to-device (D2D) communication networks. Even though various technologies for D2D communication networks using Q-learning, which is one of reinforcement learning models, have been studied, Q-learning causes a tremendous complexity as the number of states and actions increases. In order to solve this problem, D2D communication technologies based on Deep Q Network (DQN) have been studied. In this paper, we thus design a DQN model by considering the characteristics of wireless communication systems, and propose a distributed scheduling scheme based on the DQN model that can reduce feedback and signaling overhead. The proposed model trains all parameters in a centralized manner, and transfers the final trained parameters to all mobiles. All mobiles individually determine their actions by using the transferred parameters. We analyze the performance of the proposed scheme by computer simulation and compare it with optimal scheme, opportunistic selection scheme and full transmission scheme.

Many studies have investigated the smart grid architecture and communication models in the past few years. However, the communication model and architecture for a smart grid still remain unclear. Today's electric power distribution is very complex and maladapted because of the lack of efficient and cost-effective energy generation, distribution, and consumption management systems. A wireless smart grid communication system can play an important role in achieving these goals. In this paper, we describe a smart grid communication architecture in which we merge customers and distributors into a single domain. In the proposed architecture, all the home area networks, neighborhood area networks, and local electrical equipment form a local wireless mesh network (LWMN). Each device or meter can act as a source, router, or relay. The data generated in any node (device/meter) reaches the data collector via other nodes. The data collector transmits this data via the access point of a wide area network (WAN). Finally, data is transferred to the service provider or to the control center of the smart grid. We propose a wireless cooperative communication model for the LWMN.We deploy a limited number of smart relays to improve the performance of the network. A novel relay selection mechanism is also proposed to reduce the relay selection overhead. Simulation results show that our cooperative smart grid (coopSG) communication model improves the end-to-end packet delivery latency, throughput, and energy efficiency over both the Wang et al. and Niyato et al. models.

As telecommunication technologies in telemedicine services are developed, the expeditious development of wireless and mobile networks has stimulated wide applications of mobile electronic healthcare systems. However, security is an essential system requirement since many patients have privacy concerns when it comes to releasing their personal information over the open wireless channels. Due to the invisible feature of mobile signals, hackers have easier access to hospital networks than wired network systems. This may result in several security incidents unless security protocols are well prepared. In this paper, we analyzed authentication and authorization procedures for healthcare system architecture to apply secure M-health systems in the hospital environment. From the analyses, we estimate optimal requirements as a countermeasure to its vulnerabilities.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive filtering scheme of connection requests for the defense of malicious energy consumption attacks against wireless computing devices with limited energy budget. The energy consumption attack tries to consume the battery energy of a wireless device with repeated connection requests and shut down the wireless device by exhausting its energy budget. The proposed scheme blocks a connection request of the energy consumption attack in the middle, if the same connection request is repeated and its request result is failed continuously. In order to avoid the blocking of innocuous mistakes of normal users, the scheme gives another chance to allow connection request after a fixed blocking time. The scheme changes the blocking time adaptively by comparing the message arriving ate during non-blocking period and that during blocking period. Evaluation shows that the proposed defense scheme saves up to 94% energy consumption compared to the non-defense case.

In this work, a FTTL (fishbone-type transmission line) structure was fabricated on PES (polyether sulfone) for a realization of transparent flexible wireless communication device, and its RF characteristics were investigated. According to the results, the FTTL on PES showed a short wavelength characteristic compared with conventional coplanar waveguide. Concretely, the wavelength of the FTTL was 2.23 mm at 50 GHz, which was 56.6 % of the conventional coplanar waveguide. According to the bandwidth extraction result, the passband of the FTTL on PES was 608 GHz. Unlike conventional periodic structures, the characteristic impedance of the FTTL on PES showed a very low frequency dependency, which means that the FTTL on PES can be used for application to transmission line and distributed passive components with a broadband operation frequency.

Due to recent industry 4.0, manufacturing has changed a lot. In particular, it is necessary to control the controller and controller of the control system, to communicate various production information and measurement information, and to produce a database in accordance with the flexible production for a small quantity of various items, and to manage the trend of major parts of production facilities. In this paper, we developed a multiple wireless communication controller for small scale control system for smart factory by applying XBee and microcomputer. This controller is cheap and easy to build multi-radio communication environment of 1: N and can control and monitor control system. In addition, we tested multiple wireless communication controllers by using signal processing device and C++, and constructed network, control, and database for mechanism module, and confirmed effectiveness for industrial application.

For rapid formed the ad hoc wireless backbone network in disaster scene, It is necessary for real-time deployment scheme of wireless ad hoc relay devices by first responders without pre-planning. However, in order to realize this scheme, redundant deployment should be minimized, as well as optimal location of relay devices should be selected to expand communication coverage. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new deployment scheme of relay devices to optimize communication coverage and then through simulations showed that improved performance of algorithm.

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is one of the enabling technologies for 5G networks that support proximity-based service (ProSe) for wireless network communications. This paper proposes a power control algorithm based on the Nash equilibrium and game theory to eliminate the interference between the cellular user device and D2D links. This leadsto reliable connectivity with minimal power consumption in wireless communication. The power control in D2D is modeled as a non-cooperative game. Each device is allowed to independently select and transmit its power to maximize (or minimize) user utility. The aim is to guide user devices to converge with the Nash equilibrium by establishing connectivity with network resources. The proposed algorithm with pricing factors is used for power consumption and reduces overall interference of D2Ds communication. The proposed algorithm is evaluated in terms of the energy efficiency of the average power consumption, the number of D2D communication, and the number of iterations. Besides, the algorithm has a relatively fast convergence with the Nash Equilibrium rate. It guarantees that the user devices can achieve their required Quality of Service (QoS) by adjusting the residual cost coefficient and residual energy factor. Simulation results show that the power control shows a significant reduction in power consumption that has been achieved by approximately 20% compared with algorithms in [11].
