Abstract:
A media access control device of a medium access control method in a sensor network reducing delay generated between a hop and a sensor node are provided to process data quickly by using a check interval of short length. A first node performs an LPL(Low Power Listening) which is the check interval which is most short among the usable check interval(S510). A first node receiving the downward traffic information determines the check interval by summing the traffic volume which periodically reports to the sink node by summing upward traffic and downward traffic which receives from its own lower nodes(S525). The first node transmits the upward traffic binding update message by using the long preamble of the type '2 fitted to the check interval of the node having the most small traffic(S540).
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling media access in a sensor network and a method of managing traffic information. Since traffic information is exchanged between nodes and data is transmitted by using a dynamic long preamble according to receiver nodes, data transmission efficiency can be improved, energy consumed to transmit the long preamble can be reduced, and data transmission delay can be reduced as well.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of transmitting/receiving data in a sensor node for reducing overhearing of sensor nodes, and a sensor network which implements the method. A sender node having transmission data from among a plurality of nodes which perform a low power listening (LPL) operation in an asynchronous manner at predetermined time intervals, generates a long preamble including short preambles, each having information including a destination address of the transmission data, a remainder of the long preamble, and a length of the transmission data, and sequentially transmits the second preamble and the transmission data. A receiver node from among the plurality of nodes determines whether a valid signal is sensed during an active state in the LPL operation. If it is determined that the valid signal is sensed, the receiver node receives the short preamble transmitted from the sender node. The receiver node determines a duration time of a deactivated state of the receiver node based on the received first preamble, thereby reducing overhearing in the sensor network.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting/receiving data in a sensor network for reducing overhearing of sensor nodes is provided to minimize the power consumption of sensor nodes by minimizing the overhearing of the sensor nodes in a sensor network environment using an MAC(Media Access Control). A transmission node having transmission data generates a long preamble including at least short preamble for reducing the overhearing of other nodes(S510). The transmission node transmits the long preamble and the transmission data(S520). At least one first preamble includes the information as to the destination address of the transmission data, the residual amount of the second preamble at its time position and the length of the data to be transmitted.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an asynchronous MAC based sensor node using a Wake-Up RF. The sensor node includes a main transceiver to transmit/receive data, a Wake-Up transceiver to transit a state of the sensor node; and a micro-control unit, which transmits a Wake-Up frame to at least one receiving node through the Wake-Up transceiver such that the receiving node is activated from an inactive state into an active state and transmits data to the activated receiving node through the main transceiver. The asynchronous MAC based sensor node reduces unnecessary power consumption, hop-by-hop delay, and overhead required for timing synchronization, thereby implementing an effective sensor
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method and apparatus for setting a packet are provided to serve as a server by using a conventional user terminal serving as a client of IP socket communications without establishment of port forwarding of a PPP(Point to Point Protocol) server or an IP sharing device. CONSTITUTION: A user terminal obtains a domain name of a MTC(Machine-Type Communications) device and a public IP address of an IPFS(IP Packet Forwarding Server)(S802,S804). The user terminal requests call identifier allocation of the IPFS for connecting to an MTC device(S806). The IPFS assigns one of available TCP/UDP(User Datagram Protocol) communication ports to a call identifier(S808). The IPFS transmits a wake-up signal(S810). The MTC device attempts TCP/UDP socket establishment(S812). The IPFS registers the call identifier and an NAT(Network Address Translation) IP, a port number, and a life cycle value of the MTC device in a packet forwarding information management table(S814). The call identifier is transmitted to the user terminal(S816).

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A sensor node equipped having a wake-up module, a wakeup sequence control device, and a method thereof, are provided to control the wakeup sequence of MCU by using a hardware module. CONSTITUTION: If a beacon frame is transmitted or received, a MCU(200) confirms the information of the beacon frame. A MCU establishes registers. MCU converts a present mode into a sleep mode. If the interrupt is inputted, the MCU is converted from the sleep mode into an active mode. A wake-up module(300) multiplies the counter value in case of establishing the registers. A wake-up module outputs the interrupt according to the comparison result of the counter value and the BI(Beacon Interval) value identified from the beacon frame.
