A low power super regenerative receiver and a method of reducing the power consumption of the low power super regenerative receiver are provided. The super regenerative receiver includes: an oscillator having a start-up time period starting oscillation that varies according to an existence of an input signal; and a power controller supplying power within the start-up time period of the oscillator.

Provided is a method and system for hierarchically communicating information between a user and an information providing server that provides information requested by the user. The system includes at least one sensor node, upon receipt of an information request message sent by the user through a terminal, searching for information corresponding to the information request message in a first cache mounted therein and sending the information request message if the corresponding information is not found in the first cache, and a cache server, upon receipt of the information request message from the at least one sensor node, searching for the information corresponding to the information request message in a second cache mounted therein, sending the information request message to the information providing server if the corresponding information is not found in the second cache, receiving the corresponding information, transmitting the received information to the sensor node, and updating the second cache.

Provided are a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and a wake-up method thereof. The RFID tag includes: a power source that supplies a driving voltage; a continuous wave detector that receives the driving voltage from the power supply so as to detect a continuous wave in a signal received from an RFID tag reader; a command detector that selectively receives the driving voltage and detects a command in the signal; and a controller that executes the command detected by the command detector by supplying the driving voltage to the command detector if the continuous wave is detected, and stops the driving voltage from being supplied to the command detector if no command is received from the command detector for a predetermined time period.

Provided are a method and apparatus for using a synchronous sensor network medium access control (MAC) protocol such as a ZigBee or IEEE 802.15.4 low-rate wireless personal area network (WPAN). Also provided are a method and apparatus for constructing a ubiquitous sensor network (USN) of which a life is increased by using power beacons and reducing the number of unnecessary control packets (beacon packets), thereby reducing an initialization time between nodes and preventing beacon collision. According to the present invention, a beacon packet channel having a large output power and a data channel of which a transmission range is restricted by reducing an output power to be less than that of the beacon packet channel, may be simultaneously used.
摘要:
An apparatus for analyzing a USN protocol includes a packet analyzer and a protocol analyzer. The packet analyzer collects packets communicated between USN sensor nodes through at least one or more channels. The protocol analyzer processes/displays the collected packets using an XML schema defined according to the USN protocol. Thus, the USN protocol analyzing apparatus can decode/encode packets collected through a plurality of channels.
摘要:
Provided are an apparatus and method for charging an internal battery in a wireless sensor network. A method for a slave sensor node to charge an internal battery in a sensor network includes estimating an hourly chargeable electric energy rate in a scan phase with a master sensor node, transmitting the estimated hourly chargeable electric energy rate using an association request message requesting association with the master sensor node after recognizing the master sensor node, requesting charging from the master sensor node and performing wireless charging when a power level of an internal battery requires charging, reporting the power level of the internal battery varied by the wireless charging to the master sensor node by predetermined time periods during the wireless charging, and stopping the wireless charging when the power level reported to the master sensor node reaches a predetermined power level.
