Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) is composed of a large number of sensor nodes and accomplish a common task such as environment monitoring or asset tracking. This paper proposed a congestion control mechanism applying the ECN mechanism and the cross layer design to cope with temporal congestion in WSN. We experimented with the proposed congestion control mechanism using ns-2 simulator and measured the throughput of sink node. Simulation results show that the suggested mechanism can improve the performance of packet throughput by dealing with the congestion of network efficiently.

Tree-based structures offer assured optimal paths from the data source to the sink. Shortest routes are disregarded since these do not consider the remaining energy level of the nodes. This shortens the lifetime of the whole network. Most tree-based routing protocols, although aware of the nodes' energy, do not consider an energy aware sleep scheduling scheme. We propose an energy-aware sleep scheduling (EASS) scheme that will improve the sleep scheduling scheme of an existing tree-based routing protocol. An energy harvesting structure will be implemented on the wireless sensor network. The depth of sleep of every node will be based on the harvested energy.

The aim of this paper is to design and implement a new ECG signal monitoring and analysis method for the home care of elderly persons or patients, using wireless sensor network (WSN) technology. The wireless technology for home-care purpose gives new possibilities for monitoring of vital parameter with wearable biomedical sensors and will give the patient freedom to be mobile and still be under continuously monitoring. Developed platform for portable real-time analysis of ECG signals can be used as an advanced diagnosis and alarming system. The ECG features are used to detect life-threatening arrhythmias, with an emphasis on the software for analyzing the P-wave, QRS complex, and T-wave in ECG signals at server after receiving data from base station. Based on abnormal ECG activity, the server transfer diagnostic results and alarm conditions to a doctor's PDA. Doctor can diagnose the patients who have survived from arrhythmia diseases.

센서네트워크는 기본적으로 센서 데이터를 활용하고 있기 때문에 센서 데이터는 센서네트워크의 구성요소 중 가장 중요하다 해도 과언이 아니다. 하지만 통신장애 발생 시 다양한 특징을 갖는 센서 데이터의 손실이 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위해 최대/최소값 중심으로 센서 데이터를 메모리에 저장 및 압축하는 2MC 방법을 제안하고, 보간법을 사용하여 데이터 복구 후 실제 데이터와 비교하여 그 성능을 검증하였다. 실험결과, 기존 방법과 비교하여 최대 8배까지 압축한 복구 데이터를 실제로 사용할 수 있는 정도이며, 평균 오차율은 8배 압축에서 기존 압축 방법 대비 최대 35% 감소하였다.

At the present day, the use of containers crisscrossing seven seas and intercontinental transport has significantly increased and bringing the change on the shape of the world economy which we cannot be neglected. Additionally, with the recent technological advances in wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies, has providing an economically feasible monitoring solution to diverse application that allow us to envision the intelligent containers represent the next evolutionary development step in order to increase the efficiency, productivity, utilities, security and safe of containerized cargo shipping. This paper we present a comprehensive containerized cargo monitoring system which has adaptively embedded WSN technology into cargo logistic technology. We share the basic requirement for an autonomous logistic network that could provide optimum performance and a suite of algorithms for self-organization and bi-directional communication of a scalable large number of sensor node apply on container regardless inland and maritime transportation.

Testing and validation processes are critical tasks in developing a new hardware platform based on a new technology. This paper describes a series of experiments to evaluate the performance of a newly developed MEMS-based wireless sensor node as part of a wireless sensor network (WSN). The sensor node consists of a sensor board with four accelerometers, a thermometer and filtering and digitization units, and a MICAz mote for control, local computation and communication. The experiments include calibration and linearity tests for all sensor channels on the sensor boards, dynamic range tests to evaluate their performance when subjected to varying excitation, noise characteristic tests to quantify the noise floor of the sensor board, and temperature tests to study the behavior of the sensors under changing temperature profiles. The paper also describes a large-scale deployment of the WSN on a long-span suspension bridge, which lasted over three months and continuously collected ambient vibration and temperature data on the bridge. Statistical modal properties of a bridge tower are presented and compared with similar estimates from a previous deployment of sensors on the bridge and finite element models.

TPSN(Timing-sync Protocol for Sensor Networks), the representative of time synchronization protocol for WSN(wireless sensor networks), was developed to provide higher synchronization accuracy and energy efficiency. So, TPSN's approach has been referenced by so many other WSN synchronization schemes till now. However, TPSN has a collision problem due to simultaneous transmission among competing nodes, which causes more network convergence delay for a network-wide synchronization. A Polling-based scheme for TPSN is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme not only shortens network-wide synchronization time of TPSN, but also reduce collision traffic which lead to needless power consumption. The proposed scheme's performance has been evaluated and compared with an original scheme by simulation. The results are shown to be better than the original algorithm used in TPSN.

In this paper, we propose the power-based pipelined-forwarding MAC protocol which can select relay nodes according to the residual power and energy harvesting rate in EH-WSN (energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks). The proposed MAC follows a pipelined-forwarding scheme in which nodes repeatedly sleep and wake up in an EH-WSN environment and data is continuously transmitted from a high-level node to a low-level node. The sleep interval is adaptively controlled so that nodes with low energy harvesting rate can be charged sufficiently, thereby minimizing the transmission delay and increasing the network lifetime. Simulation shows that the proposed MAC protocol improves the balance of residual power and network lifetime.

WSN(Wireless Sensor Networks)는 Ubiquitous환경을 실현하기 위한 기술로써 현재 그에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 지금까지의 연구는 서비스제공에 치중되어 보안에 대한 고려는 많이 이루어 지지 않았다. 또한 자원이 한정적인 센서의 특징상 현재까지 알려진 다양한 보안기법을 그대로 센서에 적용하는 것은 불가능하며 Monitoring하고자 하는 장소에 센서를 설치함으써 공격자에게 센서가 쉽게 노출되는 취약점이 있다. 센서에 대한 공격기법 중 Sybil Attack은 하나의 Node가 두 개 이상의 Node로 가장하여 WSN상에 통신되는 정보에 대한 신뢰도를 낮추며 통신이 불가능하도록 하는 기술이다. 이를 방지하기 위해 다양한 기법들이 제시되었고 그에 대한 신뢰도도 증명하였다. 하지만 2차원 상에 한정적인 탐지기법을 제공하여 실용적인 적용이 불가능하다. 현실적인 적용을 위해 본 논문에서는 3차원 상에서 Sybil node 탐지기법을 제시한다.

저 전력 무선 센서 네트워크와 마이크로 센서를 결합하여 환경이나 상황을 인지하고 모니터링을 통해 수집된 정보를 사람에게 전하는 WSN(Wireless Sensor Network) 기술에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문은 바이너리 모델을 사용하여 단순 탐지 확률을 표현하는 기존 시뮬레이터들의 Coverage 표현의 한계를 극복하기 위해 Heat-map을 이용한 시뮬레이터를 개발했다. 이 시스템은 기존 바이너리 모델을 확장하고, GIS를 사용하여 지형정보를 함께 가시화함으로써 서비스 지형에 대한 센서 네트워크 구성뿐만 아니라 수명예측 메커니즘을 이용한 에너지 소모에 따른 노드의 수명을 가시화 한다.
