Mobile computing becomes a new issue of researches in computing due to the advances of mobile equipment and the connection with Internet. In mobile environment, there are many constraints such as limited bandwidth, intermittent disconnection, limited battery life, and so on. By these reasons, broadcasting has been generally used to disseminate data efficiently by the mobile applications. This paper proposes an adaptive broadcasting method which logically divides broadcast channel into the periodic broadcast channel and the on-demand broadcast channel and dynamically assigns the bandwidths of both channel. The former disseminates data that are selected based on both the popularity and the size of each datum, the latter disseminates data that are selected based on the requests of mobile clients. When selecting data to be disseminated, the proposed broadcasting method considers the mobility of a mobile client and also considers the size of each datum by using SF(size factor) proposed in this paper. This paper also evaluates the proposed broadcasting method by measuring the energy expenditure of mobile client in experiments.

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.

The School Bus Routing Problem(SBRP) seeks to plan an efficient schedule of a fleet of school buses that must pick up student from various bus stops and deliver them by satisfying various constraints; maximum capacity of the bus, maximum riding time of students, arrival time between a school's time window. By extending the existing SBRP, we consider a case study of SBRP with allowance of mixed-loading and dynamic arrivals reflecting the school bus operation of university in Korea. Our solution procedure is based on constructing the initial solution using sweep algorithm and then improving solution within the framework of the evolutionary approach known as efficient meta-heuristics. By comparing the various scenarios through the constraints relaxation for reflecting the real operational strategies, we assess the merit of our proposed procedure.

Ad-hoc networks can be used various environment, which it is difficult to construct infrastructures, such as shadowing areas, disaster areas, war area, and so on. In order to support to considerable and various wireless services, more spectrum resources are needed. However, efficient utilization of the frequency resource is difficult because of spectrum scarcity and the conventional frequency regulation. Ad-hoc networks employing cognitive radio(CR) system that guarantee high spectrum utilization provide effective way to increase the network capacity. In conventional CR based ad-hoc network, it uses constant threshold value to detect primary user signal, so the results become not reliable. In this paper, to solve this problem, we apply adaptive threshold value to the CR based ad-hoc network, and adaptive threshold is immediately changed by SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio). From the simulation results, we confirmed that proposed algorithm has the greatly better detection probabilities than conventional CR based ad-hoc network.

In this paper, we propose a decision scheme of amount of required resources in wireless multi-hop systems which can reuse radio resources adaptively among relay stations (RSs). Base stations (BSs) can allocate resources dynamically based on amount of required resources of each RS. Moreover using resource reuse with this allocation method can increase amount of available resources in multi-hop systems. Generally, BSs allocate same amount of resources for RSs which share and reuses same resources for each other. Since amount of required resources are different among these RSs, a decision scheme of a specific value which can represent various required resources of RSs is needed. We propose this scheme which can decide the representative value of required resources of RSs adaptively based on the amount of required resources and the buffer state of each RS. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme can increase performance of a multi-hop system. System capacity with the proposed adaptive scheme is increased by twice as large as one with a fixed representation value.

Given a linear arrangement of n base stations which generate multiple types of traffic among themselves, we consider the problem of finding a set of disjoint clusters to cover n base statons so that a cluster is assigned a location server. Our goal is to minimize the total communication cost for the entire network where the cost of intra-cluster communication is usually lower than that of intercluster communication for each type of traffic. The optimization problem is transformed into an equivavalent problem using the concept of relative cost, which generates the difference of communication costs between intracluster and intercluster communications. Using the relative cost matrix, an efficient algorithm of O($mm^2$), where m is the number of clusters in a partition, is designed by dynamic programming. The algorithm also finds all thevalid partitions in the same polynomial time, given the size constraint on a cluster, and the total allowable communication cost for the entire network.

The variation of discharge characteristics of an ac PDP was observed with the charge of scan electrode driving circuit. Conventional scan electrode driving circuit provides two switches per one scan line, and the suggested one can be constituted by one switch per one scan line with the consideration of capacitive load characteristic of an ac PDP. To verify the workability of the suggested scheme, the performances of the ac PDP was investigated. The dynamic voltage margin was slightly decreased with the adoption of the suggested scheme, which is estimated to result from the misfiring of unselected discharge cells due to the deformation of voltage level of the neighboring scan electrode. In the observation of the delay characteristics of addressing discharge, the performances of the conventional circuit and the suggested one are assumed to be equivalent.

A MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc Network) is a multi-hop routing protocol formed by a collection without the intervention of infrastructure. So the MANET also depended on the property as like variable energy, high degree of mobility, location environments of nodes etc. Generally the various clustering technique and routing algorithm would have proposed for improving the energy efficiency. One of the popular approach methods is a cluster-based routing algorithm using in MANET. In this paper, we propose an algorithm techniques which is TICC (Time Interval Clustering Control) based on energy value in property of each node for solving cluster problem. It provides improving cluster energy efficiency how can being node manage to order each node's energy level. TICC could be able to manage the clustering, re-configuration, maintenance and detection of Node in MANET. Furthermore, the results of modeling shown that Node's energy efficiency and lifetime are improved in MANET.

Recently, as the size of IoT data grows, the memory power consumption of real-time systems increases rapidly. This is because real-time systems always place entire tasks in memory, which increases the demand of DRAM significantly. In this paper, we adopt emerging fast storage media and move a certain portion of real-time tasks from DRAM to storage. The part of tasks in storage are, then, loaded into memory when they are actually used. We incorporate our memory/storage power-saving into the dynamic voltage/frequency scaling of processors, thereby optimizing power consumptions in CPU and memory simultaneously. Specifically, the proposed technique aims at minimizing the CPU idle time and the DRAM memory size by determining appropriate voltage modes of CPU and the swap ratio of memory, without violating the deadlines of all tasks. Through simulation experiments, we show that the proposed technique significantly reduces the power consumption of real-time systems.

In order to maximize dynamic range and to minimize image lag in digital X-ray imaging, diminishing residual parasitic capacitance in photodiode in pixels is critically necessary. These requirements are more specifically requested in dynamic X-ray imaging with high frame rate and low image lag for industrial 2D/3D automated X-ray inspection and medical CT imaging. This study proposes duoPIX^TM X-ray imaging sensor for the first time that is composed of reset thin film transistor, readout thin film transistor and photodiode in a pixel. To verify duoPIX^TM X-ray imaging sensor, designing duoPIX^TM pixel and imaging sensor was executed first then X-ray imaging sensor with 105 ㎛ pixel pitch, 347 mm × 430 mm imaging area and 3300 × 4096 pixels (13.5M pixels) was fabricated and evaluated by using module tester and image viewer specifically for duoPIX^TM imaging sensor.
