The constant amplitude decoding apparatus includes: a despreading and demultiplexing module receiving a data stream of a constant amplitude and despreading and demultiplexing the received data stream to restore it to a 2D signal; a decoding module first performing a vertical decoding on the 2D signal and then performing horizontal decoding thereon; a control module determining whether to repeatedly perform vertical decoding and horizontal decoding; and a bit stream information output module outputting the decoding results from the decoding module as a bit stream.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for computing the location of a radio beacon by using Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA) and multiple frequencies. The apparatus and method of the present invention compute the location of a radio beacon without limitation in distance by using multiple frequencies and time difference of arrival to resolve the problem of phase ambiguity. A radio beacon location computing system includes a plurality of base stations configured to receive signals of multiple frequencies transmitted from the radio beacon, and detect and output phase differences and arrival time; and a location computing server configured to receive the phase differences and the arrival time outputted from the respective base stations, acquire calculation distances based on the phase differences, remove phase ambiguity from the calculation distances based on the arrival time, and compute the location of the radio beacon.

Abstract:
Provided are an energy-efficient communication method in a group information-based sensor network and a sensor network system using the method. A group exchanges group information and data with another group in order to provide an application service through inter-group cooperation in a sensor network. In this process, a target group is discovered, a communication path is established, and inter-group communication cycle information for energy-efficient communication is transmitted. On the basis of the group information and the communication cycle information, it is possible to minimize the network resource consumption and provide an energy-efficient inter-group communication method.
Abstract:
Provided are a device of a node and method for beacon scheduling in an ad-hoc network and a data transmitting method thereof, which reduce power consumptions of nodes in an ad-hoc network when data communications between the nodes occur frequently. A beacon transmitting node checks its residual power. If the residual power is lower than a predetermined level, the beacon transmitting node notifies a plan to change its beacon cycle to other nodes. Thereafter, the beacon transmitting node increases the beacon cycle and transmits a beacon at the increased beacon cycles. Consequently, the beacon transmitting node can change its beacon cycle dynamically according to its power condition. Thus, the life span of the node can be increased. Therefore, it is possible to reduce an overhead of reconstructing a sensor network.
Abstract:
Provided is a Media Access Control (MAC) forwarding method for multi-hop routing in a communication system between vehicles. The method includes the steps of: a) receiving a frame from all nodes and checking whether there are duplicate frames; b) partly updating forwarding cache table (FCT) information, or updating SNT information and checking whether a destination address is a corresponding node; c) updating the FCT information, transmitting an Ack signal and transferring the frame to the upper layer, or searching whether the destination address is registered as “d_addr”; d) updating the FCT information and transmitting a delay ACK frame or checking whether the transmitted frame is a flooding frame; and e) updating the FCT information, checking whether the other node does not transmit the “d_ack” and inserting a flooding frame, otherwise, updating the FCT information and abandoning the frame.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for buffering a receive packet in a sensor node including a radio frequency (RF) transceiver, a media access control (MAC) hardware block and a micro controller unit (MCU). The method includes the steps of: a) if a packet is received from the RF transceiver, checking whether or not a packet which is pre-stored in a receive first in first out (FIFO) exists; b) if the pre-stored packet exists in the receive FIFO at step a), checking whether a length of the received packet is the same with the length of the pre-stored packet in the receive FIFO; c) if the length of the received packet is the same with the length of the pre-stored packet in the receive FIFO at the step b), increasing the number of packet which is included in header information, and buffering a physical payload in the receive FIFO; and d) if the pre-stored packet does not exist in the receive FIFO at the step a) nor the length of the received packet is the same with the length of the pre-stored packet in the receive FIFO, consecutively buffering the physical payload with the header in the receive FIFO.
Abstract:
A method and system of preventing a loss/theft of a surveillance target including a mobile device using a wireless personal area network (PAN) or a wireless local area network (LAN) which can receive, from the mobile device included in the surveillance target via a gateway, location information of the surveillance target generated by using mobile device information for the surveillance target, the mobile device information being collected by a sensor of the mobile device, and signal information communicated between the mobile device and a fixed device, can determine whether there is a loss or theft by comparing surveillance target information and a permission standard, and can provide alert information including the location information of the surveillance target when the loss or theft occurs.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of generating a wake-up signal from a passive tag with a battery is provided. According to the present invention, since a wake-up signal is generated by a signal received from a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader, battery life can be extended. That is, a wake-up signal can be generated for the battery to be operated according to a signal from the RFID reader so that the battery included in the tag can be controlled from the RFID reader, thereby controlling the amount of battery power consumed. Therefore, the battery life and the life of the tag including the battery can be increased.
Abstract:
Provided is a communication method for radio frequency identification (RFID). In order to transmit a command message with respect to an RFID tag, an RFID reader generates a command message comprising a command code indicating a type of command to be delivered to the RFID tag, a response format having one or more bits for indicating a type of additional data to be added to a response message to be received from the RFID tag, and an identifier identifying the RFID tag; and transmits the command message to the RFID tag, thereby allowing the RFID tag to immediately transmit the additional data via the response message in response to the command message.
