Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for detecting the survival status of a living thing. The apparatus for detecting the survival status of a living thing includes a tilt sensor, a determination unit, and a communication unit. The tilt sensor is attached to a target living thing, and detects minute vibrations generated by the motion of the target living thing. The determination unit determines the survival status of the target living thing for a preset update period based on the minute vibrations. The communication unit sends an update packet including determination results of the determination unit to an outside.

A sensor actuator node includes a sensor unit for generating sensing information on circumstantial changes; a communications unit; a countermeasure information generation unit for generating countermeasure information to the circumstantial changes; and a drive unit for driving one or more actuators. When the sensor actuator node acts as a host node, the sensing information becomes main sensing information, the countermeasure information generation unit generates the countermeasure information based on the main sensing information and selectively transmits the countermeasure information to the adjacent sensor actuator nodes via the communications unit, and the drive unit drives the actuator based on the countermeasure information. When the sensor actuator node acts as a non-host node, the sensing information becomes auxiliary sensing information, and the drive unit drives the actuator based on the countermeasure information selectively transmitted thereto by the host node.

A hybrid virtual multiple-input multiple-output (V-MIMO) transmission method of a management node in a wireless ad-hoc network in which a transmission path from a source node to a destination node is divided into one or more sections is provided. The hybrid V-MIMO transmission method includes obtaining one or more pieces of node information of one or more nodes by transmitting an information request message to the nodes in response to a transmission request message for data transmission from the source node to the destination node; setting a shortest path (SP) from the source node to the destination node based on the obtained node information; determining transmission schemes individually for nodes present on the SP; issuing a transmission preparation request by transmitting the determined transmission schemes to the respective corresponding nodes; and transmitting a transmission start message to the source node in response to transmission ready responses from the respective nodes.

A method for converting source data to a channel-modulated signal having a plurality of pairs of in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) data in a mobile station, wherein the mobile station uses at least one channel, includes the steps of: a) encoding the source data to generate at least one data part and a control part; b) generating at least one spreading code to be allocated to the channel, wherein each spreading code is selected on the basis of a data rate of the data part and the control part and spreading codes are selected so that two consecutive pairs of the I and Q data are correspondent to two points located on same point or symmetrical with respect to a zero point on a phase domain; and c) spreading the control part and the data part by using the spreading code, to thereby generate the channel-modulated signal. The method is capable of improving a power efficiency of a mobile station by reducing a peak-to-average power ratio in a mobile communication system.

Provided is an apparatus and method of dynamically managing a sensor module on a sensor node in a wireless sensor network. The apparatus includes an update unit, a request unit, and a transmission unit. If a change occurs in sensor data corresponding to each sensor node stored in a sensor information storage server, the update unit receives the sensor data from the sensor information storage server, and transmits the received sensor data to the corresponding sensor node. The request unit requests the sensor data from the sensor information storage server upon receipt of a sensor data request message from the sensor node. The transmission unit receives the requested sensor data from the sensor information storage server and transmits the received sensor data to the sensor node.
