In the wireless sensor networks, power consumption and interference among the nodes can be reduced by using the transmission power control. Because link quality is changed by spatial and temporal effect, link failures are frequently occurred. In order to adapt to link quality variation, existing transmission power control schemes broadcast beacon messages periodically to neighbor nodes and control the transmission power dynamically. However, it can effect on the time and energy overhead according to period of transmission power control. In this paper, the dynamic method of transmission power control by the link quality variation and variable period are proposed. When a link quality is unstable, the control duty cycle is reduced and the link quality is agilely maintained. In contrast, when link quality is stable, the control period is increased and control overhead is decreased.

In this paper, we propose a transmission power control scheme for performance improvement of VANET using STPC algorithm considering traffic-flow model. In traffic congestion, a transmission power between car and car increases the collision probability of control messages, which causes the problems to decrease the performance of VANET. The proposed scheme is evaluated by OPNet modeler 16.0 for analyzing its performance and effectiveness in terms of end-to-end delays in hops, packet success probability, and throughput. The simulation result show that the proposed scheme reduces a delay in hops and increases high packet transmission success ratio. Furthermore, a throughput under high density traffic is improved effectively.

Recently, excessive installations of APs have caused WLAN interference, and many techniques have been suggested to solve this problem. The AP aggregation technique serves to reduce active APs by moving station connections to a certain AP. Since this technique forcibly moves station connections, the transmission performance of some stations may deteriorate. The AP transmit power control technique may cause station disconnection or deterioration of transmission performance when power is reduced under a certain level. The combination of these two techniques can reduce interference through AP aggregation and narrow the range of interferences further through detailed power adjustment. However, simply combining these techniques may decrease the probability of power adjustment after aggregation and increase station disconnections upon power control. As a result, improvement in performance may be insignificant. Hence, this study suggests a scheme to combine the AP aggregation and the AP transmit power control techniques in OpenFlow-based WLAN to ameliorate the disadvantages of each technique and to reduce interferences efficiently by performing aggregation for the purpose of increasing the probability of adjusting transmission power. Simulations reveal that the average transmission delay of the suggested scheme is reduced by as much as 12.8% compared to the aggregation scheme and by as much as 18.1% compared to the power control scheme. The packet loss rate due to interference is reduced by as much as 24.9% compared to the aggregation scheme and by as much as 46.7% compared to the power control scheme. In addition, the aggregation scheme and the power control scheme decrease the throughput of several stations as a side effect, but our scheme increases the total data throughput without decreasing the throughput of each station.

본 논문에서는 실제 센서네트워크 적용시 발생하는 다양한 간섭 문제를 완화할 수 있는 전송파워제어 알고리즘을 제안하고 있다. 제안한 알고리즘은 SINR 기반의 이론적 모델과 폐루프 제어방식을 이용하여 간섭 영향에 대하여 전송파워를 능동적으로 조절한다. 따라서 다양한 간섭의 영향 아래에서도 높은 전송률을 유지하면서, 동시에 에너지 소모를 크게 줄이도록 한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 실재 실험을 통하여 검증되었으며, 기존의 알고리즘에 비해서 높은 전송율과 에너지 효율을 보이고 있다.

In wireless packet networks, energy and wireless resource efficiency is critical issue to addressed for wide deployment. To achieve the both goals of saving the mobile station's energy and increasing the wireless capacity, transmission power control is introduced to wireless packet networks. In the transmission power controled networks, it is not deeply studied on unfairness among transmissions with different power levels that reaches starvation. Through the performance analysis, this paper explains the throughput unfairness of high power transmission with the unfair media access probability owing to the contending node number difference and proposes a simple PHY-MAC cross layer approach.

Directional transmission is one of key technology to solve the utmost problem that current mobile communication system faces, which is explosively increasing data traffic, since directional transmission can maximize the throughput of mobile communication systems. In this work, we consider power allocation scheme for mobile communication system which utilizing directional transmission. Especially, we consider the case in which multiple users in the same sector of base station, are served at the same time by utilizing directional transmission. For this scenarios, we consider equal power allocation scheme, Water-filling based scheme and inverse SNR scheme. Moreover, we propose beam power allocation scheme whose objective is to maximize overall system throughput by taking into account interference between different directional transmissions. Moreover, we have examined the spectral efficiency and Jain's fairness index of various power allocation schemes for directional transmission by using system level simulator that has been developed in our previous work. Through simulations, it has been verified that the proposed power allocation scheme can improve the spectral efficiency of the system by 28%.

본 논문에서는 직교 주파수 분할 다중화 전송방식(OFDM:Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)에서 비트 오류율(BER)과 시스템에서 사용할 수 있는 총 송신 파워가 제한된 상태에서 데이터 전송률을 최대화 시키는 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 미리 계산된 비트수별 신호대잡음비 임계값(threshold)과 부반송파의 신호대잡음비를 비교한 후 부반송파별 송신 파워를 최적화 시켜 비트를 할당한다. 이 기법은 송신 파워 및 비트를 할당하는 최적의 기법이라고 알려진 Hughes­Hartogs 기법과 거의 동일한 데이터 전송률을 가질 수 있으면서, 부반송파의 송신 파워 및 비트수를 할당하기 위해 필요한 반복작업을 줄일 수 있다.

최근 전력선 통신이 홈 네트워킹의 새로운 기술로 주목을 받고 있어 관련 수요가 증가하고 있다. 안정적인 통신을 위하여 일정한 QoS(Quality of Service)의 제공은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 outage 확률 분석을 위하여 시뮬레이션을 이용한 옥내 전력선 통신 환경에 대한 채널 응답과 채널 용량을 계산하였다. 계산된 채널 응답과 채널 용량을 바탕으로 전송 신호의 파워에 따른 outage 확률을 분석을 하였다. 시뮬레이션 분석 결과 아주 높은 수준과 아주 낮은 수준의 QoS 환경에서 전송 신호의 파워는 outage 확률에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 하지만, 30% ~ 50% outage를 허용하는 QoS 환경에서는 전송 신호의 파워에 따라서 outage 확률이 상대적으로 크게 변화하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 outage 확률측면에서 전송 신호의 파워를 효율적으로 이용할 수 있는 방향을 제시한다.

차세대 무선 통신 서비스의 응용은 다양한 형태로 발전하고 있다. 그 중에서 응급상황이나 학내망 같이 특수한 경우에 제공될 수 있는 시나리오로 다중 홉(Multi-hop) 다중 링크(Multi-link) ad-hoc 망을 들 수 있다. Ad-hoc망은 한정된 자원 문제와 변화가 심한 링크 용량문제가 있으며, 다중 홉상의 노드가 이동함으로 토폴로지의 동적 변화문제도 발생한다. 이러한 망의 노드는 송·수신단 역할을 할 뿐만 아니라 패킷을 전달하는 중간 노드의 역할도 하기 때문에 파워의 절약 매카니즘이 절실히 필요하게 된다. 본 논문은 PAMAS에 기반하여, 별도의 제어 채널에 버퍼를 두어 송·수신자 주소와 전송할 데이터의 크기의 정보를 버퍼에 기록하여 예약하고 제어 채널에서 데이터 채널의 파워를 제어할 수도 있으므로 데이터 전송에서 충돌을 예방하고 효율적으로 파워를 절약할 수 있다. 데이터 전송 발생율을 바꿔가며 시뮬레이션 결과 일반적인 방법을 사용한 노드들보다 훨씬 좋은 파워 절약을 이루고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The sensor nodes can be installed in the environment in which the temperature change is considerable, such as desert, urban, and data center. Particularly, because the output power becomes less than the targeted power if a temperature is increasing, link quality is degraded and packet losses are occurred. In order to compensate the temperature changes, existing schemes detect the change of the link quality between nodes and control transmission power through a series of feedback process. However, these approaches can cause heavy overhead by additional control packets. In this paper, we propose the T2PC(Temperature-aware Transmission Power Control) to keep up the link quality despite temperature variation. At each node, T2PC compensates the attenuated link quality by controlling the transmission power based on the local temperature measurement. In addition, the packet reception ratio can be improved with less control packets than ones required in existing transmission power control methods based on the feedback control.
