Smart devices linked to high speed networks enable us to obtain location dependent data at anywhere and anytime. In this environment, a wireless data broadcast system can deal with enormous data request from a great number of clients effectively. In order to set up an efficient wireless data broadcast system, various data scheduling and indexing schemes have been proposed. However, a simulation framework to evaluate the schemes is not reported yet. In this paper, we design and develop a simulation framework for a wireless data broadcast system. The developed simulation framework can evaluate quickly a wireless data broadcast system and has scalability to adopt various data scheduling and indexing schemes for wireless data broadcasting.

At a Internet service provider(ISP), field human resources visit many customers sites to provide multimedia services to customers in ubiquitous environment. Scheduling the resources is a hard problem because there are many tasks which have to be done by the resources and the number of the resources is not sufficient. To tackle this problem, ISPs had used team-based scheduling system. However, this aporoach was not sufficient to reduce the number of frequent changes of arrival time and could not increase operational efficiency. We also developed an optimal resource selection algorithm based on statistical information when an operator assigns a task to the resource. After we adopted this algorithm to the real world, the resources can do more tasks in a day.

Broadcast-based data dissemination has become a widely accepted approach of communication in the mobile computing environment. However, with a large set of data items, the expected delay of receiving a desired data increases due to the sequential nature of the broadcast channel. With the objective of minimizing this wait time, this paper explores the problem of data broadcast over multiple channels. In traditional approaches, data items are partitioned based on their access probabilities and allocated on multiple channels, assuming flat data scheduling per channel. If the data items allocated on the same channel are broadcast in different frequencies based on their access probabilities, the performance will be enhanced further. In this respect, this paper proposes a new broadcast scheduling scheme named two level dynamic programming(TLDP) which can reflect a variation of access probabilities among data items allocated on the same channel.

In this paper, we evaluate the power consumption of IEEE802.15.4e TSCH which uses the specific link scheduling scheme proposed in reference[1]. And we also compares it with the power consumption of conventional single channel IEEE802.15.4. The power consumption of IEEE802.15.4e TSCH is smaller than the conventional one under the any conditions of traffic. The reasons can be explained as the followings. Firstly, TSCH does not have backoff time because of using the collision free link scheduling. Secondly, there is the timing difference of MAC offset parameter between TSCH and conventional IEEE802.15.4 Lastly, the devices in TSCH mode sleep during the time slots which are not assigned to itself.

본 논문에서는 지상파DTV 방송프로그램 보호를 위한 하드웨어 PPI 전송서버를 제안한다. 제안한 하드웨어 PPI 전송서버는 방송환경에서의 안정성을 보장하기 위하여 소프트웨어의 PPI 스케줄러와 하드웨어의 PPI MUX로 구성하였다. PPI 스케줄러는 EPG를 PPI 보호신호와 프로그램 ID와 함께 편성하여 시간순서로 스케줄링하는 기능을 제공하며, PPI MUX는 EPG, PPI 보호신호, 프로그램 ID를 PSIP로 부호화한 후, 이를 MPEG-2 TS로 패킷화하여 실시간 출력하는 기능을 제공한다. 또한 하드웨어 PPI 전송서버는 기존의 방송 송출 시스템의 변경 없이 유연하게 연동시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 하드웨어 PPI 전송서버는 PPI 보호신호를 방송프로그램에 삽입하여 송출함으로써, 지상파DTV 방송프로그램의 무단복제, 불법배포를 제한하는 기능을 제공한다.

Due to the recent advances in IoT technologies, reducing power consumption in battery-based IoT devices becomes an important issue. An IoT device is a kind of real-time systems, and processor voltage scaling is known to be effective in reducing power consumption. However, recent research has shown that power consumption in memory increases dramatically in such systems. This paper aims at combining processor voltage scaling and low-power NVRAM technologies to reduce power consumption further. Our main idea is that if a task is schedulable in a lower voltage mode of a processor, we can expect that the task will still be schedulable even on slow NVRAM memory. We incorporate the NVRAM memory allocation problem into processor voltage scaling, and evaluate the effectiveness of the combined approach.

Although GPGPU (General-Purpose GPU) can maximize performance by parallelizing a task with tens of thousands of threads, those threads are internally grouped into a thread block, which is a base unit for processing and resource allocation. A thread block scheduler is a specialized hardware gadget whose role is to allocate thread blocks to GPGPU processing hardware in a round-robin manner. However, round-robin is a sequential allocation policy and is not optimized for GPGPU resource utilization. In this paper, we propose a thread block scheduler model which can analyze and quantify performances for various thread block scheduling policies. Experiment results from the implemented simulator of our model show that the legacy hardware thread block scheduling does not behave well when workload becomes heavy.

In the past, radars have been classified into fire control radars, detection radars, tracking radars, and image acquisition radars according to the characteristics of the mission. However, multi-function radars perform various tasks within a single system, such as target detection, tracking, identification friend or foe, jammer detection and response. Therefore, efficient resource management is essential to operate multi-function radars with limited resources. In particular, the target threat for tracking the detected target and the method of selecting the tracking cycle based on this is an important issue. If focus on tracking a threat target, Radar can't efficiently manage the targets detected in other areas, and if you focus on detection, tracking performance may decrease. Therefore, effective scheduling is essential. In this paper, we propose the TaP (Time and Priority) algorithm, which is a multi-functional radar scheduling scheme, and a software design method to construct it.

Round-robin is widely used for the scheduling of large-scale parallel workloads in the computing units of GPGPU. Round-robin is easy to implement by sequentially allocating tasks to each computing unit, but the load balance between computing units is not well achieved in multi-workload environments like cloud. In this paper, we propose a new thread block scheduling policy to resolve this situation. The proposed policy manages thread blocks generated by various GPGPU workloads with multiple queues based on their computation loads and tries to maximize the resource utilization of each computing unit by selecting a thread block from the queue that can maximally utilize the remaining resources, thereby inducing load balance between computing units. Through simulation experiments under various load environments, we show that the proposed policy improves the GPGPU performance by 24.8% on average compared to Round-robin.

지상파 디지털방송에서는 기존 아날로그 방송에 비해 뛰어난 품질의 영상/음성 서비스가 제공될 뿐만 아니라 신문이나 잡지에서 볼 수 있었던 프로그램 정보를 TV 화면상에서 바로 받아 볼 수 있는 EPG(Electronic Program Guide) 서비스와 각종 데이터 서비스도 함께 제공된다. 이러한 EPG 정보와 함께 수신기에 필요한 각종 시스템 정보를 수신측에 전달하려면 ATSC(Advanced Television Systems Committee)의 PSIP(Program and System Information Protocol)에 따라 정보를 가공하는 장비가 필요하며 데이터 서비스를 위해서는 ATSC A/90의 송출 규격에 따라 데이터를 가공하는 장비가 필요하게 된다. 데이터서버 시스템은 PSIP의 생성과 데이터의 스케줄링을 담당하는 Data/PSIP 제어기와 데이터를 ATSC 송출 규격에 맞추어 가공하는 데이터 인젝터로 구성된다. 데이터서버 시스템은 방송 편성 정보를 담고 있는 KBS 편성 DB, 각종 콘텐츠를 관리하는 콘텐츠 DB, 그리고 실시간 독립정보 서비스를 제공하기 위한 실시간 어플리케이션 에이전트와의 인터페이스를 갖추고 있다. Data/PSIP 제어기와 데이터 인젝터에서는 편성된 PSIP 정보와 콘텐츠 데이터를 ASI(Asynchronous Serial Interface) 인터페이스를 통해서 다중화기로 전송한다. 다중화기는 PSIP 정보와 인코딩된 데이터 정보를 A/V TS(Transport Stream)와 함께 다중화하여 최종적으로 디지털 데이터 방송용 TS를 출력시킨다.
