Abstract

FANET is an ad hoc network formed among the unmanned aircraft in the three-dimensional space for data transfer. Most of the research on FANET application has focused on the use of the camera sensor mounted on the unmanned aircraft to collect data from the ground, and process and delivery of the data for a specific purpose. However, the research on the fusion of WBAN and FANET that collects the data of the human body and passes through the FANET has not been studied much until now. Therefore, in this study, we study the data transmission system that collects the human body data of people working in the areas that are vulnerable to communication difficulties and passes the collected data through the FANET. In particular we analyze the possible methods to transfer the emergency data of the body in the fusion network of WBAN and FANET and provide a data transfer model that can be transmitted most efficiently.

FANET은 무인 항공기들로 구성된 애드혹 네트워크로서, 무인 항공기 간의 데이터 전달을 위해 3차원 상에 형성된 네트워크이다. 현재까지 이루어진 대부분의 FANET 활용에 대한 연구는 무인항공기에 장착된 카메라 센서를 활용하여 지상으로부터 데이터를 수집하고, 이를 전달하고 처리하여 특정한 목적에 활용하는 것이다. 하지만 인간 신체 영역의 데이터를 수집하고 이를 FANET을 통해 전달하는 WBAN과 FANET의 융합에 관한 연구는 아직 많이 이루어지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구는 데이터 전달을 위한 통신체계가 잘 갖추어져 있지 않은 도서 또는 오지 지역에서 활동하는 사람들의 인체 데이터를 수집하기 위해 WBAN을 구성하고, 수집된 데이터를 FANET을 통해 전달하는 체계를 연구한다. 특히 WBAN과 FANET의 융합 네트워크에서 신체의 응급데이터를 전달하기 위한 가능한 데이터 전달방법을 분석하고, 효율적으로 데이터를 전달할 수 있는 전송 모델을 제안한다.
