PURPOSE: Data broadcasting performed in a sensor node and a feedback method thereof are provided to prevent power consumption or collision of feedback data, and to extend a lifespan of network by effectively reducing the number of unnecessary feedback. CONSTITUTION: An error is made in receiving of data broadcasted to neighboring nodes of a receiving node. An acknowledgement response frame is transmitted to transmitting nodes within a constant time. The broadcasted data is normally received. After the predetermined time, an affirmation receiving response frame is transmitted to the transmitting node.

A function module activator unit(120) selectively activates the unit function module according to the kind of the received data.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for extending operational lifetime are provided to extend the lifetime of coordinators participating in the mobile network. CONSTITUTION: A receiver(700) receives a message data based on a beacon frame of a parent coordinator from the parent coordinator and converts an active zone of a receiving super frame into an inactive interval. If data is received from a child coordinator, a transmission unit(740) initializes a maximum receiving standby time and maintains the active zone of a transmitting super frame. If data receiving standby time exceeds the maximum receiving standby time, the transmission unit converts the active zone of the transmission super frame into the inactive interval.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A resource allocation method for a node within an AD hoc network and a device thereof for reducing calculation amount are provided to simply allocate the resource such as time slot by preventing the collision between a cluster head and a node. CONSTITUTION: A resource allocation method for a node within an AD hoc network and a device thereof for reducing calculation amount are as follows. A basic frame structure is stored(S210). A time slot is determined based on a path sequence number about the location of the node in a routing path(S220). A frame structure including a time slot is determined as a communication frame structure for communication of the node(S230). The basic frame structure includes time slots of the specific number.
Abstract:
A wake-up receiver and a wake-up method minimizing power consumption by applying a constant recursive period power off technique are provided to implement high receiving sensitivity and implement a single CMOS single chip without using a special material. A data receiver(430) receives wake-up data. A burst signal receiver(410) receives the burst signal at interval which is set up in the constant recursive period. A duty cycle signal generator generates the signal activating the burst signal receiver for the time interval. If it is activated, a switching unit(420) permits the power in data signal receiving unit, receives wake-up data and disables the duty cycle signal generating unit.
Abstract:
A method for recognizing a location based on clustering in a wireless sensor network is provided to minimize a total throughput load and power consumption between the wireless sensor network and a sensor node. Location recognition information between cluster heads is presumed(S201). The cluster heads broadcast a control signal like a beacon signal(S203). A sensor node selects a cluster head managing the sensor node(S205). It is determined whether a location of the sensor node should be recognized or routing should be performed(S207). The cluster head obtains location information of the sensor node(S209).

An apparatus for executing a MAC application program, and an apparatus and a method for task scheduling of a sensor node based on an MAC are provided to shorten the development period of an MAC program by efficiently re-using a MAC application program at various hardware platforms. An MAC(Medium Access Control) program unit(220) executes a MAC program, and at least one hardware interface unit(211) includes hardware control subroutines that are approaching a hardware device of a hardware platform(201). When the MAC program unit calls the hardware control sub-routines, a hardware standard interface unit(212) executes a hardware control sub-routine that corresponds to the one hardware platform.
