Communication Scheme

In recent years, FANET-related research and development has doubled, due to the increased demands of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in both military and civilian operations. Equipped with more capabilities and unique characteristics, FANET is able to play a vital role in mission-critical applications. However, these distinctive features enforce a series of guidelines to be considered for its efficient deployment. Particularly, the use of FANET for on-time data communication services presents demanding challenges in terms of energy efficiency and quality of service (QoS). Proper use of communication architecture and wireless technology will assist to solve these challenges. Therefore, in this paper, we review different communication architectures, including the existing wireless technologies, in order to provide seamless wireless connectivity. Based on the discussions, we conclude that a multi-layer UAV ad-hoc network is the most suitable architecture for networking a group of heterogeneous UAVs, while Bluetooth 5 (802.15.1) is the most favored option because of its low-cost, low power consumption, and longer transmission range for FANET. However, 802.15.1 has the limitation of a lower data rate as compared to Wi-Fi (802.11). Therefore, we propose a hybrid wireless communication scheme so as to utilize the features of the high data transmission rate of 802.11 and the low-power consumption of 802.15.1. The proposed scheme significantly reduces communication cost and improves the network performance in terms of throughput and delay. Further, simulation results using the Optimized Network Engineering Tool (OPNET) further support the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.

In order to solve the environmental crisis problem and to realize the sustainable environment, we need the efforts to reduce energy consumption. It is reported that the energy consumption by IT including communication will rapidly grow. Based on this situation, Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) has begun the project of “Ultra low power consumption information technology” under the umbrella of the competitive research fund named “Core Research for Evolutional Science and Technology (CREST)”. We have applied to the open call for proposal and our proposal “Ultra low power Data Driven Networking System (ULPDDNS)” has been accepted as one of 2007-2012 frame projects by JST CREST. Our objective is to develop a data-driven networking system that can achieve reduction of power consumption to 1/100-1/1000 compared with the existing systems, especially in the situation just after a disaster happened. We believe the most applicable network to disaster situation is Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET). This paper introduces the ULPDDNS research activities mainly from the viewpoint of network, i.e., MANET and shows three techniques to establish highly efficient and energy saving MANETswith reasonable performance: (1) GPS-aided target information discovery, (2) Load-aware broadcast-type contents delivery, and (3) Trust relationship list based key management.

At present, in many large supermarkets, the trolley management mainly rely on manual, which increases management costs and the burden of work, therefore, the supermarket trolley positioning system is proposed to solve this problem. The positioning system takes full advantage of ZigBee technology’s low power consumption, low cost and ad hoc network, the node module is embedded into the supermarket trolley and positioned by positioning engine, using PC interface developed by VB6.0 to display its real-time position. Field experiments show that its positioning accuracy is less than 3m, The staffs easily know the location of trolleys when they sit in the monitor room. It can reduce the costs and the burden of work.

In order to process and analyze the signal of frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar, a radar semi-physical simulation(RSPS) system based on STM32F103VE6 chip is designed in this paper. By designing the hardware and software of system, the RSPS system can process the radar signal, detect the target, verify the data process algorithm and display the result on TFT-LCD screen. In addition, the collected data can be uploaded to PC by RS-232 interfaces which improves the reliability, stability and practicability of system. The waveform and spectrum maps are utilized to show the feasibility of RSPS system in analysing FMCW radar signal. Experimental results show that this system has many advantages, such as multifunction, low power consumption and low cost.

Detection Frequency

Although dragonflies are excellent environmental indicators for monitoring terrestrial water ecosystems, automatic monitoring techniques using digital tools are limited. We designed a novel camera trapping system with an original dragonfly detector based on the hypothesis that perching dragonflies can be automatically detected using inexpensive and energy-saving photosensors built in a perch-like structure. A trial version of the camera trap was developed and evaluated in a case study targeting red dragonflies (Sympetrum spp.) in Japan. During an approximately 2-month period, the detector successfully detected Sympetrum dragonflies while using extremely low power consumption (less than 5 mW). Furthermore, a short-term field experiment using time-lapse cameras for validation at three locations indicated that the detection accuracy was sufficient for practical applications. The frequency of false positive detection ranged from 17 to 51 over an approximately 2-day period. The detection sensitivities were 0.67 and 1.0 at two locations, where a time-lapse camera confirmed that Sympetrum dragonflies perched on the trap more than once. However, the correspondence between the detection frequency by the camera trap and the abundance of Sympetrum dragonflies determined by field observations conducted in parallel was low when the dragonfly density was relatively high. Despite the potential for improvements in our camera trap and its application to the quantitative monitoring of dragonflies, the low cost and low power consumption of the detector make it a promising tool.
