A Wi-Fi mesh network providing multi-hop wireless connections based on IEEE 802.11 PHY/MAC technology has recently received a significant attention as a network infrastructure that interconnects RFID systems and wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, the current IEEE 802.11 contention-based MAC protocol cannot fully utilize the network capacity due to eithor frame collisions or unused network resources. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-channel scheduling MAC (MCS-MAC) protocol for Wi-Fi mesh networks. Under the secondary interference model of Wi-Fi mesh networks, the MCS-MAC protocol can maximize the network throughput via activation of collision-free links that has a maximal link weight. Through the simulations, we show that the throughput of the MCS-MAC protocol is at least three times higher than that of existing MAC protocols in Wi-Fi mesh networks.

강의시간표 문제(Lecture timetabling Problem)는 일주일을 기본으로 하는 특정 시간대 별로 학생(Course-class), 교수, 그리고 강의실과 같은 자원에 대한 스케줄링 문제로서 각각의 자원에 대하여 적절한 조합으로 제약조건들 사이의 충돌을 최소화하여 자원을 배치하는 할당문제이다. 강의시간표 문제는 수천 명 학생들에 대하여 개개인의 시간표를 작성해야 하므로 기하급수적으로 증가하는 탐색공간에 대하여 최악의 경우 탐색 시간이 지수적으로 증가하는 NP-complete Problem이다. 이러한 거대하고 복잡한 강의시간표 문제는 계층적으로 분할하여 기능별로 처리하면서 제약조건을 협상하도록 하는 각 모듈 단위의 에이전트를 구성하므로 좀 더 작고 단순한 문제로 변환될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 방대한 탐색 공간과 과잉-제약조건(Over-constraint)문제의 하나인 강의시간표 작성 문제를 분산제약조건 만족 문제 특성을 이용하고 다중 에이전트 구조를 사용하여 해결하는 강의시간표 자동화 시스템 설계를 제안한다.

The explosive growth of wireless network users and the existence of various wireless services have demanded high rate throughput as well as user's QoS guarantees. Towards this, this paper proposes QoS-oriented subcarrier allocation scheme considering the QoS provisioning of multiple users, which is major requirement for wireless network design point of view. This paper introduces joint RR/K&H combined with M-LWDF(Modified Largest Weighted Delay First) scheme throughout observing statistical channel behavior and real time queuing analysis for appropriate resource allocation tightly connected to multiuser scheduling. Accordingly, the system throughput can be enhanced, and the QoS demanded for delay sensitive services can be satisfied. Furthermore, the proposed scheme is applied for OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) systems to allocate sub-carriers in optimal way. The simulation results verify plausible performances of proposed resource allocation scheme via showing superior effective capacity under time-varying physical-layer channel behaviors.

As the SoC designs complexity constantly increases, the simulation that uses their software models simply takes too much time. To solve this problem, FPGA-based logic emulators have been developed and commonly used in the industry. However, FPGA-based logic emulators are facing with the problems of which not only very low FPGA resource usage rate due to the very limited number of pins in FPGAs, but also the emulation speed getting slow drastically as the complexity of designs increases. In this paper, we proposed a new innovative emulation architecture and its software that has high FPGA resource usage rate and makes the emulation extremely fast. The proposed emulation system has merits to overcome the FPGA pin limitation by pipelined ring which transfers multiple logic signal through a single physical pin, and it also makes possible to use a high speed system clock through the intelligent ring topology. In this topology, not only all signal transfer channels among EPGAs are totally separated from user logic so that a high speed system clock can be used, but also the depth of combinational paths is kept swallow as much as possible. Both of these are contributed to achieve high speed emulation. For pipelined singnals transfer among FPGAs we adopt a few heuristic scheduling having low computation complexity. Experimental result with a 12 bit microcontroller has shown that high speed emulation possible even with these simple heuristic scheduling algorithms.

This paper proposes an improved superframe structure with one : N situation of the network as a target for efficiency battery and communication performance used in the existing standard IEEE 702.15.4 MAC layer. The proposed superframe transforms and adds a two structures. First, we add the proposed scheduling interval after the arrival of the beacon. Second, we change to a structure in which one of the contention access period is divided into two. The contention access period and the contention-free access period of active portion are divided according to the LQI value of the device. Through this system-level simulation written by $c{^+^+}$, as a results show that the battery consumption and transmission performance has been increased.

Power management is still an important issue in embedded environments as hardware advances like high-performance processors. Power management methods such as DVFS control CPU frequencies in an adaptive manner for efficient power management in polling-based I/O programs such as network communication. This paper presents the problems of the existing power management method and proposes a new power management method. Through this, it is possible to reduce electric consumption by increasing the polling cycle in situations where the frequency of data reception is low, and on the contrary, in situations where data reception is frequent, it can operate at the maximum frequency without performance degradation. After implementing this as a code layer on the embedded board and observing it through Atmel's Power Debugger, the proposed method showed a performance improvement of up to 30% in energy consumption compared to the existing power management method.

In order to provide 8K UHD contents of terrestrial broadcasting with a large capacity, the terrestrial broadcasting system has various problems such as limited bandwidth and so on. To solve these problems, UHD contents transmission technology has been actively studied, and an 8K UHD broadcasting system using terrestrial broadcasting network and communication network has been proposed. The proposed technique is to solve the limited bandwidth problem of terrestrial broadcasting network by segmenting 8K UHD contents and transmitting them to heterogeneous networks through hierarchical separation. Through the terrestrial broadcasting network, the base layer corresponding to FHD and the additional enhancement layer data for 4K UHD are transmitted, and the additional enhancement layer data corresponding to 8K UHD is transmitted through the communication network. When 8K UHD contents are provided in such a way, user can receive up to 4K UHD broadcasting by terrestrial channels, and also can receive up to 8K UHD additional communication networks. However, in order to transmit the 4K UHD contents within the allocated bit rate of the domestic terrestrial UHD broadcasting, the compression rate is increased, so a certain level of image deterioration occurs inevitably. Due to the nature of UHD contents, video quality should be considered as a top priority over other factors, so that video quality should be guaranteed even within a limited bit rate. This requires packet scheduling of content generators in the broadcasting system. Since the multiplexer sends out the packets received from the content generator in order, it is very important to make the transmission time and the transmission rate of the process from the content generator to the multiplexer constant and accurate. Therefore, we propose a variable transmission scheduler between the content generator and the multiplexer to guarantee the image quality of a certain level of UHD contents in this paper.
