A method and apparatus for selecting a wireless personal area network (WPAN) based adaptive radio frequency (RF) interface. The method includes obtaining RF interface information by establishing a WPAN based network connection with a target RF device; selecting an RF interface from among a plurality of RF interfaces using the obtained RF interface information, based on characteristics of applications and a network load; and establishing the selected RF interface by negotiating about the selected RF interface with the target RF device.

A method of allocating logical channels in consideration of an interference range in a wireless sensor network includes defining logical channels to increase the number of available channels and determining the number of logical channels in accordance with the number of nodes within an interference range, allocating the logical channels to the nodes within the interference range so that the determined logical channels do not overlap each other, and exchanging data among the nodes using the allocated logical channels.

Method of allocating logical channels in wireless sensor network

A method is provided for synchronizing time between nodes in a wireless communication system. A reference node transmits a first packet to a correspondent node. Upon receiving the first packet, the correspondent node transmits a second packet with a reception time of the first packet recorded therein, to the reference node. Upon receiving the second packet, the reference node calculates a forward delay time using a transmission time and the reception time of the first packet. The correspondent node receives a third packet with the forward delay time from the reference node, and calculates a reverse delay time. The correspondent node calculates an offset value for the synchronization using the forward delay time and the reverse delay time.

Disclosed is a time slot allocation method for reducing consumption of energy in a wireless sensor network, including transmitting and receiving, by an upper node, a report request and a response to and from at least one lower node in order to identify whether there is data to be transmitted between the upper node and the at least one lower node, transmitting, by the upper node, information required for data transmission to the at least one lower node based on the report request and response, and transmitting and receiving, by the upper node, data to and from the at least one lower node based on the information required for data transmission.

Time slot allocation method for reducing consumption of energy in wireless sensor network

A method for reducing power consumption in a wireless sensor network is provided. An optimized path destined for a sink node is set using a common channel in which first and second nodes use a CSMA scheme. A first channel is set and transmission/reception slots for packet transmission/reception are allocated in the first channel. A packet is transmitted to the second node through a first transmission slot using a TDMA scheme. When a packet is not received from the second node through a first reception slot within a first set amount of time, the first reception slot is allowed to transition to an inactive state. The first node is one of the sink node, at least one parent node, and at least one child node of the parent node, and the second node is one of child nodes of the first node.

Method for power consumption in wireless sensor network

A method for relaying packets through a relay node in a communication system composed of a source node, a destination node and at least one relay node for transferring the packets transmitted from the source node to the destination node. The relay node compares a potential corresponding to a number of hops and constituting the transferred packets with a stored potential from the destination node. If the stored potential is smaller than the potential constituting the packets, the relay node updates the packet and broadcasts the updated packets. Also, according to a method for setting a route for transmitting packets, packets are broadcast and it is checked whether updated packets obtained by updating the broadcast packets are received. If updated packets are received, an address of a packet transmission node constituting the updated packets is stored and the following packets are transmitted to the node having the stored address.
