Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus for managing a controlling node, a method for the same, a growing environment sensor network system using the same are provided to reduce the overhead of a data frame by managing data for the controlling node at a separate server. CONSTITUTION: A data analyzing part(31) analyzes data collected from a sensor node. The data analyzing part selects a controlling node containing a controlling device to be controlled. A server accessing part(32) communicates with a managing server(50) saving and managing metadata. A metadata acquiring part(33) acquires the metadata related to the controlling device contained in the selected controlling node.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for managing a slot are provided to manage a slot through the three times of command frame exchange and the primitive exchange of MLME(MAC sublayer management entity) and an upper layer. CONSTITUTION: A node 3 transmits a DSME-GTS(Deterministic And Synchronous Multi-Channel Extension Guaranteed Time Slot) request command for requesting the allocation of a slot to a node 1(S310). The DSME-GTS request command includes the number of a requested slot and information about a current DSME slot allocation bit-map sub block. DSME SAB(Slot Allocation Bitmap), sub block information has a bit-mapped form. The node 1 broadcasts assigned slot information and a DSME-GTS response command, which includes a destination address, to an adjacent node(S320). The assigned slot information includes the DSME SAB sub block information A node 3 broadcasts the slot information assigned to inform an allocation result to the adjacent node and the DSME-GTS notification command including the destination address to the adjacent node(S330).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An operation method of a WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network) device, capable of reducing the degradation of RF reliability is provided to periodically perform a hopping operation by using a channel hopping sequence. CONSTITUTION: A connection request primitive, which allows a connection request with a coordinator to a device, is generated. The connection request primitive includes first and second parameters. The first parameter determines an offset value of a channel hopping sequence. The second parameter determines the use of a default channel hopping sequence. If the value of the second parameter is greater than 1, the channel hopping sequence is requested to its own coordinator.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for allocating resources in a wireless network is provided to disperse a burden about a computative quantity which can focus on one node to several nodes, thereby enhancing the energy efficiency of the node. CONSTITUTION: Cluster headers are calculated according to the cluster after the cluster is formed. A node which comprises a wireless network determines whether oneself is a edge node or not. If the node is not an edge node, the node collects link information(301) with other nodes in cluster which oneself is included in. The collected ink information is transferred ot the cluster header of the node.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A super frame structure and a beacon scheduling method for mesh networking are provided to support a mesh topology in a beacon mode and to enable easy adaptation of network environment change using a distribution-type beacon scheduling algorithm. CONSTITUTION: A join node performs beacon scanning(S201). The join node obtains neighboring mode beacon allocation information of a neighboring node(S203). The join node selects a non-allocated beacon slot(S205). A node which selects an own beacon slot transmits a beacon from the beacon slot periodically(S211).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A time synchronization method for a multi-hop sensor network is provided to add a delay transmission temporal value to a beacon frame for reducing the collision of the beacon frame in a beacon mode, so that receiving nodes can perform exact time synchronization. CONSTITUTION: A transmission node performs CCA(Clear Channel Assessment) and backoff for preventing collision(S101). The transmission node creates a time stamp before transmission of a beacon frame and after time delay(S103). The transmission node adds a delayed temporal value and a time stamp value to the beacon frame. The transmission node transmits the beacon frame(S105). The delayed temporal value is the temporal value delayed by performance of backoff and CCA. The time stamp value comprises an interface delay value between an MAC(Media Access Control) layer and a PHY(Physical) layer and a modulation delay value in the PHY layer.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An MAC(Media Access Control) system of a multi-hop sensor network is provided to prevent transmission delay caused by relatively long inactive duration for energy saving and the convenience of scheduling. CONSTITUTION: In the higher layer of a source device, MLME-EGTSinfo.request primitive is transmitted to MLME(MAC sub Layer Management Entity)(601). The MLME transmits an EGTS information request command to a destination device(602). The destination device confirms the reception of the EGTS(Extended Guaranteed Time Slot) information request command by transmission of an ACK(Acknowledgement) frame(603). The MLME of the destination device transmits a time stamp and an EGTS parameter to the source device(604). The source device transmits an ACK frame to the destination device(605). The MLME of the source device notifies a higher layer next to itself that the EGTS information request succeeds(606).
