Abstract

For environmental monitoring and risk identification of industrial plants, several monitoring systems using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been developed. In this paper, we propose a dynamic duty cycle adjustment mechanism for reduced latency in industrial plants. The proposed method adjusts the duty cycle among predefined risk groups depending on the urgency of sensed data values. To demonstrate its efficacy, we analyze the expected transmission latency model and then discuss the characteristics in detail. We show that the proposed dynamic duty cycle mechanism is a more effective than a periodic mechanism by analyzing the expected latency of them in industrial plants where there are various types of sensory data with different levels of reliability.

안전한 플랜트 설비의 상태 감시 및 장애 진단을 위해 무선 센서를 이용한 플랜트 설비용 모니터링 시스템이 연구되고 있다. 플랜트 설비에서는 저전력 뿐만 아니라 안전사고와 직결된 긴급 상황시 실시간성도 고려해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 플랜트 시설에서 지연시간 감소를 위한 동적 듀티사이클 조절 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 동적 듀티사이클 조절 기법은 센싱된 데이터 값의 긴급한 정도에 따라 미리 정의된 위험 그룹으로 구분하여 적응적으로 듀티사이클 주기를 조절한다. 실시간성을 평가하기 위해 고정 듀티사이클 기법과 동적 듀티사이클의 예상 지연시간을 확률적으로 분석하였다. 비교 결과, 플랜트 시설과 같이 이상 징후 발생 시 에너지를 소모하더라도 실시간성을 제공해야 하는 상황에서 제안 동적 듀티사이클 기법이 더 효과적임을 확인하였다.
