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:
An antenna includes a polyhedral dielectric material, a feed loop, a polygonal radiating patch, and shorting plates. The feed loop is electrically connected with a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag chip for supplying power to the RFID tag chip. The polygonal radiating patch is magnetically coupled with the feed loop for radiating the electromagnetic waves. Each of the shorting plates disconnects the radiating patch and a ground surface and controls the magnetic coupling of the radiating patch and the feed loop. Accordingly, an RFID tag that can be attached to a metal material is provided.

A Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) system using multi-channel having differential radio power and a method of configuring the USN system are provided. The USN system and the method include a sink node performing a communication with a sensor node using at least one or more frequency signal having differential outputs; and a sensor node performing the communication with the sink node using the at least one or more frequency signal. The USN system and the method simultaneously use a control frequency signal having a high output power and a data frequency signal having an output power lower than that of the control frequency signal, thereby reducing a beacon transmission delay, enabling time synchronization between the sensor nodes, and preventing collisions between beacons due to beacon relays among the sensor nodes, so as to configure a more efficient sensor field.
