Abstract:
Provided is a reliable and energy efficient data routing apparatus and method for a sensor node in a wireless sensor network. The method includes: receiving route setup messages including residual energy information of each of one or more neighboring sensor nodes within a wireless reception range of the sensor node from the neighboring sensor nodes for a predefined reception waiting time; selecting a parent node for routing from among the neighboring sensor nodes according to the residual energy information of each of the neighboring sensor nodes; and transmitting the sensing data to the selected parent node. Accordingly, since a data transmission path is selected by considering residual energy, energy consumption can be dispersed across the wireless sensor network to extend the lifetime of the wireless sensor network and a detour can be used to improve data transmission reliability.

Abstract:
A method for receiving broadcast data using a timer in a personal wireless communication network is provided to be utilized for an application such as a broadcast service of a ubiquitous and low power personal wireless network by minimizing power consumption. A reception node receives broadcast data from a transmission node in a standby state(501,502). The reception node performs decoding and error inspection on the received data(503) to check whether there is an error in the data(504). If the received data has an error, the reception node drives a 'NAK' timer(505). The reception node checks whether the 'NAK' timer has expired(506). If the 'NAK' timer has expired, the reception node transmits a 'NAK' signal to the transmission node(507). If the 'NAK' timer has not expired, the reception node checks whether the same data is received again(509). If the same data is received again from the transmission node, the reception node terminates the 'NAK' timer(510).

A millimeter wave transition apparatus of a dielectric waveguide and a transmission line is provided to drastically reduce a design time of the millimeter wave transition apparatus and reduce a process error. A millimeter wave transition apparatus of a dielectric waveguide and a transmission line(210) includes a slot(230). The transition line is arranged at an input terminal and an output terminal along a signal transition direction at a top of an uppermost dielectric substrate to transit a signal. The dielectric waveguide becomes a signal transition path by being formed by top and bottom ground surfaces of a lowermost dielectric substrate and a via row arranged along the signal transition direction. The slot is arranged on the signal transition path of the top ground surface and transits the signal inputted from the input terminal transmission line to an output terminal transmission line via the dielectric waveguide by connecting the transmission line to the dielectric waveguide.
