    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Provided is a method of constructing a tree network which includes a first node. The method comprises: (a) the first node determining if there is a child node and requesting a parent node to allow the first node to withdraw if there is no child node; (b) selecting a child node based on remaining amounts of battery power of each child node if there are child nodes of the first node; (c) exchanging positions of the first node and the selected child node and requesting the parent node to allow the first node to withdraw if the child node selected in operation (b) does not have child nodes; and (d) repeating operations (b) and (c) if the child node selected in operation (b) has child nodes. The present invention solves the problem of decreasing lifetimes of upper nodes that consume more battery power than lower nodes due to more traffic transmission and reception.

    摘要: Provided is an apparatus and method for controlling multi-channel access in USN-based MAC. The multi-channel access control apparatus includes a channel scanner, a control channel preoccupier, and an available channel exchanger. The channel scanner scans at least one or more available channels among the N data channels in a Tx sensor node. The control channel preoccupier preoccupies, in the Tx sensor node, the control channel through control channel sensing and back-off and broadcasts a preamble on the control channel periodically. The available channel exchanger detects, in an Rx sensor node, the available channels available to the Tx sensor node on the basis of the received preamble, selects a channel available to the Rx sensor node among the detected available channels, and transmits information about the selected channel to the Tx sensor node.
