Abstract:
Provided is a method for determining superframe to efficiently perform beacon scheduling by allocating superframe lengths which are different according to a routing depth of sensor nodes in a ZigBee based wireless sensor network. The method for determining a superframe for beacon scheduling, includes the steps of: receiving a beacon from a neighboring node and grasping information on a superframe used by the neighboring nodes; and determining a transmission time and a length of own superframe based on superframe information of the grasped neighboring node.

Abstract:
Provided is a method of preventing a data collision that occurs when two or more child nodes simultaneously transmit data to a parent node in a ZigBee network having a tree routing scheme and operating in a beacon mode. In the ZigBee system having the tree routing scheme and operating in the beacon mode, data communication to the parent node is performed in a beacon frame of the parent node. Here, when several child nodes exist under a single parent node, the child nodes transmit data to the parent node at the moment of receiving the beacon of the parent node, so that the data collision may occur when the child nodes simultaneously transmit the data to the parent node in the beacon frame of the parent node. In the method of preventing a data collision, each of the two or more child nodes is set to wait for its guard time (delay time) when transmitting data to the parent node to induce a normal slotted carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA-CA) operation. Therefore, the data collision can be prevented.

Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for assigning a time slot for transmitting a beacon in a wireless sensor network operated in a beacon mode are provided. In the method and apparatus for assigning a time slot according to the present invention, the total time slots assigned to the network are divided into N blocks and a node to which a time slot is exclusively assigned, among nodes to which a specific node is capable of directly and wirelessly transmitting, is selected as a parent node, the network is divided into two or more regions centering the parent node, a block having the time slot assigned to the parent node and adjacent blocks, among the N blocks, are respectively assigned to the regions, a time slot having been yet unassigned, among the time slots belonging to the block assigned to the region to which the specific node belongs among the divided regions, is assigned as the time slot of the specific node.
Abstract:
An ion implanting system and a wafer holding apparatus therefor are provided. The ion implanting system includes x- and y-axis rotating parts; first and second angle measuring circuits; and a controller. The x-axis rotating part rotates a main surface of a wafer about an x-axis, and the y-axis rotating part rotates the main surface of the wafer about a y-axis. The first angle measuring circuit is rotated along with the main surface of the wafer and measures a tilt angle of the main surface of the wafer with respect to the x-axis. The second angle measuring means is rotated along with the main surface of the wafer and measures a rotating angle of the main surface of the wafer with respect to the y-axis. The controlling part, when the measured tilt angles are different from target tilt angles, controls the x- and y-axis rotating parts such that the measured tilt angles are equal to the target tilt angles. In the present invention, the ion implanting system and the wafer holding apparatus therefor can measure and monitor an incidence angle of an ion beam with respect to a tilted wafer.
