Abstract:
A bidirectional optical module for communicating optical signals bidirectionally via a single optical fiber is provided. The bidirectional optical module includes an optical fiber, a stem having a cavity formed at one side thereof and first alignment marks formed near an entrance of the cavity, a light emitting device mounted on the cavity, a light receiving device mounted on the cavity and spaced apart from the light emitting device, a filter block part fixed near the entrance of the cavity and configured to deliver light output from the light emitting device to the optical fiber and deliver light input through the optical fiber to the light receiving device, and a cap configured to accommodate the light emitting device, light receiving device, and a filter block part between the cap and the stem.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of supporting CoAP-based sensor data transmission between a sensor data collector in a sensor node relay and one or more 6LoWPAN-unsupported sensor nodes. The method includes receiving a CoAP sensor data request message from the sensor data collector, transmitting a CoAP sensor data request message to a corresponding 6LoWPAN-unsupported sensor node by analyzing the received CoAP sensor data request message, and responding to the sensor data collector by creating a CoAP sensor data response message including sensor data received from one or more of the 6LoWPAN-unsupported sensor nodes.
