These days, use of multimedia streaming service and demand of QoS (Quality of Service) improvement have been increased because of development of network. QoS of streaming service is influenced by a jitter, delay, throughput, and loss rate. For guaranteeing these factors which are influencing QoS, the role of transport layer is very important. But existing TCP which is a typical transport layer protocol increases the size of congestion window slowly and decreases the size of a congestion window drastically. These TCP characteristic have a problem which cannot guarantee the QoS of UHD multimedia streaming service. In this paper, we propose a router buffer based congestion control method for improving the QoS of UHD streaming services. Our proposed scheme applies congestion window growth rate differentially according to a degree of congestion for preventing an excess of available bandwidth and maintaining a high bandwidth occupied. Also, our proposed scheme can control the size of congestion window according to a change of delay. After comparing with other congestion control protocols in the jitter, throughput, and loss rate, we found that our proposed scheme can offer a service which is suitable for the UDH streaming service.

A real-time frame-layer rate control algorithm with a token bucket traffic shaper is proposed for low bit rate video coding. The proposed rate control method uses a non-iterative optimization method for low computational complexity, and performs bit allocation at the frame level to minimize the average distortion over an entire sequence as well as variations in distortion between frames. In order to reduce the quality fluctuation, we use a sliding window scheme which does not require the pre-analysis process. Therefore, the proposed algorithm does not produce time delay from encoding, and is suitable for real-time low-complexity video encoder. Experimental results indicate that the proposed control method provides better visual and PSNR performances than the existing rate control method.

In mobile computing environments, invalidation and propagation method based on broadcasting is used to transmit the information for cache maintenance of mobile hosts. Previous researches generally adopted invalidation method that easily adapts to the limited network bandwidth and the frequent disconnection. But the invalidation of frequently accessed data causes the contention on the wireless network with the increasing cache requests. Although the propagation method can reduce the cache requests, the high probability of broken message or loss of message is the main factor that degrades the system performance. To resolve these problems, we propose adaptive cache maintenance scheme that dynamically adjusts the broadcasting ratio of invalidation and propagation, according to the wireless network connection states. The proposed scheme broadcasts the propagation message in stable connection state, so it can reduce the cache requests and server response time. With the decreasing available network bandwidth by the frequent partial disconnection and disconnection, the proposed scheme dynamically increases the broadcasting ratio of the invalidation messages to minimize the broken message or the loss of message probability. Consequently, the proposed scheme resolves the problems which arise in the invalidation or propagation method in mobile computing environments.

We demonstrate an S/S＋band discretely tunable thulium doped fiber laser (TTDFL), anchored on a 50-㎓ ITU-T grid. Investigating the inversion analysis of the thulium doped fiber (TDF) in applying a dual wavelength (1.4 m and 1.5 m) pumping scheme, a laser whose tuning range covers most of the S/S＋band has been obtained. Within the wide 3-㏈ bandwidth of 65.1 nm, the output power of the tunable laser exceeds 6.1 ㏈m with very flat spectral profile and the number of DWDM channels generated is as large as 178. If we increase the subsidiary pump power to 22 ㎽, the bandwidth is expanded up to 66.2 nm. By controlling the temperature of the fine grid filter, we have also shown that the frequency locking capability of the laser can be improved. The laser developed in this work is expected to be utilized as a practical optical source providing reference wavelengths in the S/S＋band.

Due to the growth of optical fiber network technologies, most networks recently support several tens of Gb/s bandwidth. UDT(UDP-based Data Transfer protocol) is an optimized protocol for bulk data transmission on the network, which has the high bandwidth and long delay time. It periodically controls the sending rate on the fixed sync-interval, 0.01 sec. Here, if the network traffic status varies quickly, available network bandwidth is not able to be properly utilized in-between the sync-intervals. In this paper, we propose an adaptive rate control method with considering the network traffic status in-between the sync-interval periods. The network traffic status is determined based on the RTT variances. With dividing the network status into four classes, the proposed method performs a new rate control by adjusting the inter-packet sending period for a corresponding class. As a simulation result, the proposed method improves the message delivery throughput as well as stability than that of the existing UDT Protocol.

We analyzed that the loss of data in TCP protocol based wireless networks caused by overlapped responses in bi-directional nodes that were resulted in out of the data sequence. This loss can be prevented by using revised TCP rate control algorithm and the performance of throughput can also be improved. The rate control algorithm is applied when the congestion happens between nodes while traffic packets are retransmitting in TCP bandwidth. In addition to applying the rate control algorithm, we determine the number of system clients in bandwidth and the average of pausing time between transmitting serial files to produce a competitive level so that an efficient performance of rapid retransmitting for the loss of multi-packets. This paper discusses the improvement of congestion control in that the decrease of the loss, firstly, as ensuring an efficient connection rate and, secondly, as using sliding window flow control.

In this paper, it is designed a microstrip U-slotted patch antenna with double resonances to enhance the bandwidth. In the design of an U-slotted patch antenna, there are considered the input impedance, the width of patch, the total length of the slot, the height of foam, the position of the probe and the radius of feed pin. The broadband behavior of antenna can be obtained by adjusting the length and width of the slot. The radiation from the antenna is linear polarized with the E-paine parallel to the vertical slots and the H plane parallel to horizontal slot. The radiation pattern, impedance locus, and VSWR of the antenna are calculated using "ENSEMBLE" software, and compared with the experimental results. Experimental results show that the bandwidth for VSWR $\le$ 2:1 is about 28.6%, a directivity 14.18dBi at 6.040GHz. 6.040GHz.

In the communication, a reconfigurable antenna using two PIN diodes is presented for quad-band(GSM900/GSM1800/GSM1900/UMTS) mobile handset applications. The proposed antenna has a size $45{\times}11{\times}6mm^3$. By independently adjusting the on/off states of two PIN diodes located on the radiating element, the proposed structure can be operated in the PIFA and loop mode, respectively. The PIN diodes are replaced by conducting tape in order to verify the concept. In regards to the fabricated reconfigurable antenna, when operating in the PIFA mode, the measured results show that the 7 dB bandwidth is 8.62 %. which covers the GSM900(880~960 MHz) band.

A novel PLL with a delta-sigma modulator and a spur reduction circuit is proposed. delta-sigma modulator makes the LF remove noise easily by moving the spur noise to a higher frequency band. Therefore, the magnitude of spur can be reduced the reasonable bandwidth. The spur reduction circuit reduces the spur size by reducing the LF voltage change generated during the period of reference signal. The spur reduction circuit is designed as simple as possible not to increase the size of PLL. The proposed PLL with the previous two techniques is designed with a supply voltage of 1.8V in a 0.18um CMOS process. Simulation results show an almost 20dB reduction in the magnitude of spur. The spur reduced PLL can be used in narrow bandwidth communication system.
