This paper presents an analytical method for finding the optimum transmission range in mobile ad hoc networks(MANETs). The results are particularly useful for the operation of military networks, as the transmission range affects the throughput, delay, and battery consumption. Plus, the proposed method allows the optimum transmission range to be determined in advance when deploying combatants with mobile terminals. And we analyze the battery life-time and the optimum transmission range under various propagation scenarios based on Hata propagation model. The proposed method obtains the optimum transmission range in a MANET based on the operational conditions.

Conventional TSPC D flip-flop has the advantages of high speed, simple clock distribution, and no racing because of the single phase clocking strategy and its simple structure. But, it suffers from glitch, clock slope sensitivity and unbalanced propagation delay problems. Therefore, a new dynamic D flip-flop, which improves these disadvantages, is proposed. The main idea of this paper is DS(Discharge Suppression) scheme, which suppresses unnecessary discharge. As a result, the proposed structure is free from glitch problem and it improves maximum clock slope immunity from 0.25ns to Ins. Also, it uses only 8 transistors and it Is demonstrated that high speed operation is feasible by balancing propagation delay time.

Recently, rapid developments in computer hardware have enabled reverse-time migration to be applied to various production imaging problems. As a wave-equation technique using the two-way wave equation, reverse-time migration can handle not only multi-path arrivals but also steep dips and overturned reflections. However, reverse-time migration causes unwanted artefacts, which arise from the two-way characteristics of the hyperbolic wave equation. Zero-lag cross correlation with diving waves, head waves and back-scattered waves result in spurious artefacts. These strong artefacts have the common feature that the correlating forward and backward wavefields propagate in almost the opposite direction to each other at each correlation point. This is because the ray paths of the forward and backward wavefields are almost identical. In this paper, we present several tactics to avoid artefacts in shot-domain reverse-time migration. Simple muting of a shot gather before migration, or wavefront migration which performs correlation only within a time window following first arriving travel times, are useful in suppressing artefacts. Calculating the wave propagation direction from the Poynting vector gives rise to a new imaging condition, which can eliminate strong artefacts and can produce common image gathers in the reflection angle domain.

In this paper, the SH mode of elastic surface waves which are used for delay lines of elastic surface wave is the cretically analysed. It is shown that the SH mode has very large electromechanical coupling factor and propagates on the surface with very small decaying coefficient into the medium. In the case of P2T-4, the depth cf piezoelectric medium that contains 80% of energy is 190 wavelengths. An elastic surface wave delay line is discussed from the view point of 2-port network. Center frequency is shifted by the ratio of transducer electrode width to gap between transducer ellcerodes when electromechanical coupling factor is large. Tempera _ore coefficients for bulk waves of LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 are also calculated and the minimum temperature coefficient value of delay time is 5.4X 10-6/$^{\circ}C$ ia the case of transverse wave propagating along Z axis on LiTaO3. Experimental data are in good agreement with theoretical values of the temperature coefficients of delay time for elastic surface waves propagating along X axis of 130$^{\circ}$ and 64$^{\circ}$ rotated Y cut planes of the LiNbO3.

The replication of data is used to increase its availability and to improve the performance of a system. The distributed database system has to maintain both the database consistency and the replica consistency. This paper proposes an algorithm which resolves the conflict of the operations by using the mechanism based on the structure that the replicas of each data item are hierarchically organized. Each update is propagated along the tree based on the fact that the root of each data item is the primary replica in partially replicated databases. The use of a hierarchy of data may eliminate useless propagation since the propagation can be done only to sites having the replicas. In consequence, the propagation delay of updates may be reduced. By using the timestamp and a compensating transaction, our algorithm resolves the non-serializability problem caused by the conflict of operations that can happen on the way of the update propagation due to the lazy propagation. This resolution also guarantees the data consistency.

자동차 관련 기술은 점차 전기, 전자 장치로 빠르게 바뀌어 가고 있다. 차량 내 연결되어 있는 전자 제어 장치들도 그에 따라 증가하게 되었고 장치간의 통신 성능도 중요하게 되었다. 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 차량용 네트워크 프로토콜로는 CAN(Controller Area Network)을 들 수 있다. 그러나 최근 통신 복잡도가 증가함에 따라 주기적 메시지 통신의 메시지 전송 지연 및 중단이 발생되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제에 대한 해결 방안을 제시하기 위해 메시지들의 스케줄 가능성 및 응답시간에 따른 실 시간성 검증 모델을 제안한다. CAN 메시지 수신 시 RMA(Rate Monotonic Algorithm)기반으로 메시지 스케줄 가능성 평가 모델을 개발하였다. 또한, CAN 메시지를 송신할 경우 RTA(Response Time Analysis)를 고려한 실 시간성 평가 모델을 제시하였다. 실험 1 에서는 기존 RMA 기법으로 통신을 수행한 결과 통신 중 중단되는 현상을 확인하였고 이후 제안 모델에서는 23%정도의 추가 시간을 확보하여 통신을 완료하는 것을 증명하였다. 실험 2 에서는 메시지 통신의 응답시간이 모두 제안된 Worst-case 응답시간 이내로 측정되어 실 시간성을 만족함을 확인하였다.

Underwater sensor networks (UWSNs) employ acoustic channels for communications. One of the main characteristics of the underwater acoustic channel is long propagation delay. Previously proposed MAC (medium access control) protocols for wireless sensor networks cannot be directly used in UWSNs due to the long propagation delay. The long propagation delay and uneven nodes deployments cause spatial fairness in UWSNs. Therefore, a new MAC protocol for UWSNs needs to be developed to provide efficient communications. In this paper, we propose an efficient MAC protocol in order to alleviate the fairness problem. In the proposed scheme, when a node receives a RTS packet, it does not immediately send back but delays a CTS packet. The node collects several RTS packets from source nodes during the delay time. It chooses one of the RTS packets based on the queue status information. And then, it sends a CTS packet to the source node which sent the chosen RTS packet. The performance of the proposed scheme is investigated via simulation. Simulation results show that our scheme is effective and alleviates the fairness problem.

Recent research on energy harvesting wireless sensor networks focuses on the development of techniques to solve the limited energy resource problem and to extend the whole network life efficiently. Energy harvesting technology can increase the lifetime of a network, but data transmission becomes unavailable when it harvests energy from radio frequency, resulting longer network delay with respect to the increased time in energy harvesting. Therefore, building energy harvesting wireless sensor network should consider the possible network delay as well as the network lifetime problem. In this paper, we propose a new MAC protocol that minimizes end-to-end network delay by adjusting the data transmission time for a packet based on estimating the energy for data transmission along with the amount of traffic flowing into the network and harvested energy. For this goal, it engineers an energy management mechanism that adjusts the sleep time of the network by measuring energy harvesting time. In addition, with simulation results it shows that the proposed MAC protocol improves the performance in terms of energy consumption and end-to-end delay, compared to the existing MAC protocols.

In the almost application parts, GNSS being used the primary navigation system on world-widely. However, some of nations attempt or deliberate to enhance current Loran system, as a backup to satellite navigation system because of the vulnerability to the disturbance signal. Loran interests in supplemental navigation system by the development and enhancement, which is called eLoran, and that consists of advancement of receiver and transmitter and of differential Loran in order to increase the accuracy of current Loran-C. A significant factor limiting the ranging accuracy of the eLoran signal is the ASF in the TOAs observed by the receiver. The ASF is mostly due to the fact that the ground-wave signal is likely to propagate over paths of varying conductivity and topography. This paper presents comparison results between the predicted ASF and the measured ASF in a southern east region of Korea. For predicting ASF, the Monteath model is used. Actual ASF is measured from the legacy Loran signal transmitted Pohang station in the GRI 9930 chain. The test results showed the repeatability of the measured ASF and the consistent characteristics between the predicted and the measured ASF values.

The Long Range Navigation (LORAN) had been mainly used world-wide until GPS (Global Positioning System) activation. In particular. it was essential junctionality for the ships to sail the oceans. However, according to the industry's developing, the current accuracy of Loran is insufficient for the utilization such as the harbour approach, the land navigation and the field of precise timing. Therefore it is necessary the study on the improvement of the positioning accuracy of Loran. The method of its improvement is to measure and compensate the propagation time delay, that is, additional secondary factor (ASF) between the transmitter and user's receiver. This study shows the technique for the absolute time delay measurement without a time of coincidence (TOC) table, and represents the ASF measurement result between Pohang transmitter station(9930M) and each measure points.
