Abstract:
An access communication node which connects to a mesh network including a plurality of communication nodes, the access communication node including: a receiving unit receiving first operation slot information of a first communication node and second operation slot information of a second communication node from the first communication node capable of directly transmitting data to the access communication node, the second communication node being capable of directly transmitting data to the first communication node and incapable of directly transmitting data to the access communication node; a slot selection unit selecting an operation slot of the access communication node based on the first operation slot information and second operation slot information; and a slot information transmission unit transmitting operation slot information about the selected operation slot to the first communication node.
Abstract:
A time synchronization method in a wireless sensor network, a low power routing method using a reservation scheme, and an apparatus for performing the method are provided. The time synchronization method in the wireless sensor network may include: receiving a first synchronization request command packet from a parent node that manages time synchronization for a predetermined synchronization region; receiving, from the parent node, a second synchronization request command packet that has a transmission timestamp value of the first synchronization request command packet; and performing time synchronization for a child node based on a reception time of the first synchronization request command packet, a reception time of the second synchronization request command packet, and the transmission timestamp value of the first synchronization request command packet.
Abstract:
A sensor node of a wireless sensor network includes a first sensor node module for generating and processing, when it is activated, a first sensing signal to detect occurrence of an event based on the first sensing signal; and a second sensor node module for generating and processing a second sensing signal, when it is activated, to monitor state transition of the event based on the second sensing signal. Further, when the occurrence of the event is detected, the first sensor node module is inactivated and the second sensor node module is activated.
