This paper presents a robust lateral controller for autonomous guidance of a farm tractor in field operations. Although mechanical steering actuators have recently been used for passenger vehicles, the steering actuator of the farm tractor is based on a hydraulic system, resulting in limited bandwidth and a larger time delay. Based on a kinematic tractor model with steering actuator dynamics, a nonlinear control technique called dynamic surface control is applied to design a robust lateral controller that compensates for uncertainty owing to steering actuator and road geometry. Finally, tracking performance and robustness of the proposed controller are validated via commercial tractor simulations, with respect to the time delay of the steering actuator and road geometry (e.g., up and down hills), on a given field with a constant friction coefficient.

In this paper, a performance evaluation method for the Trunked Land Mobile Radio System, so called TRS(Trunked Radio System), is presented. The proposed evaluation method employs LCD(Lost Call Delayed) system model and Erlang-C distribution. In this system, queues are used to hold call requests that are initally blocked. When a user attempts a call and a channel is not immediately available, the call request may be delayed until a channel becomes available. For evaluating system performance, therefore, the probability that any caller is delayed in the queue for a waiting time greater than t seconds is derived and simulated by using such parameters as total number of available channels, traffic load and average duration of a call. Furthermore, the performance of the message and the transmission trunked channel assignment strategies is compared. The performance simulation results show that transmission trunking is shown to be more efficient than message trunking.

Today the various types of communication and application service are provided by the development of Internet and IP technologies. It is expected to be extended the service domain of two networks through the interconnecting P2PSIP overlay which is highlighted as an important technologies for Internet based services and IMS(IP Multimedia Subsystem) which is the new architecture adopted in the evolution of NGN. Therefore, this paper explains the possible methods of the service expansion with interconnecting P2PSIP overlay and IMS network. Specially this paper suggests the interconnection architectures of P2PSIP overlay and IMS network as subscriber's types and analyzes the traffic analysis model and session set up delay characteristics by simulation model. As a results, this paper shows that the interconnection architecture using gateway AS(Application Server) is the excellent method to interconnect the IMS in case of P2PSIP overlay only subscriber, and that interconnection architecture using I-CSCF is good method to interconnect the IMS in case of P2PSIP overlay and IMS subscriber.

Biologically inspired modeling techniques have received considerable attention for their robustness, scalability, and adaptability with simple local interactions and limited information. Among these modeling techniques, Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) play a central role in understanding natural evolution and the development of biological organisms from cells. In this paper, we apply GRN principles to the WSN system and propose a new GRN model for decentralized node scheduling design to achieve energy balancing while meeting delay requirements. Through this scheme, each sensor node schedules its state autonomously in response to gene expression and protein concentration, which are controlled by the proposed GRN-inspired node scheduling model. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme achieves superior performance with energy balancing as well as desirable delay compared with other well-known schemes.

오래도록 생산성향상곡선 (또는 학습곡선), 생산함수, 그리고 대체곡선 등은, 서로 관련이 없는 별개의, 그리고 순전히 경험적인 (empirical) 현상들인 것들로서 이해되어 왔었다. 그러나 1980년대 중반에 발표된 Muth 교수의 탐색이론 (Search Theory)의 생산성향상곡선에서 관찰된 제반현상들을 모두 설명함으로써 이들 현상은 하나의 통합이론체계에 의하여 일관되게 설명되게 되었다. 이 이론의 초기형태는 그 보편성을 구속하는 네 가지 가설 위에 설립되었었으나 점차적으로 이들 가설들이 완화되면서 (relaxed) 이 이론은 또한 해독 력에서 뿐만 아니라 일반성에 있어서도 계속 강화되어 왔다. 본 논문의 목적은, 이들 네 가지 가설들 중 유일하게 아직 완화되지 못하고 있는, 실제 현상과 다분히 유리된, 두 번째 가설, 즉$\ulcorner$생산성향상을 위한 탐색과정에서 새로이 발견된 개량 신기술 (또는 생산방식) 은 즉각적으로 채택될 것$\lrcorner$이라는 가설을 완화함으로써, 보다 현실에 대한 해석력과 일반성 면에서 개선된 모델을 제시하는 데 있다. 이를 위하여 제시된 모델은 Muth 교수의 탐색이론모델에 두가지 변수를 더함으로써 확장하여 만든 모델이다. 이 두 변수는 신기술의 채택 (또는 획득)을 위하여 지불하여야 하는 투자비변수와 탐색과정을 통하여 발견은 되었으나 아직 채택은 되지 않은, 유보상태 신기술의 운영비용 변수(또는 수익성변수)등이다. 이 모델의 내용은, 생산성향상은 신기술이 구현된 (embodied) 장비 (equipment)를 사용함으로써 실현되며, 따라서 창의적 활동의 이득은 이들 장비에 대한 투자행위로서 실현된다는 것이다. 이 모델은 보다 나은 신기술이 또 발견될 것이라는 기대 하에, 현재 발견된 최신기술을 채택하지 않는 투자지연현상을 예측.설명해 주며 따라서 이로 인한 기술적 비효율성의 존재이유를 제시한다. 또한 이 모델은 생산성 향상곡선의 초기굴곡현상, 정체현상, 그리고 도약현상 등을 모두 설명해 준다.

In general, it can be assumed that the tropospheric effect are removed through double-differencing technique in short-baseline GPS data processing. This means that the high-accuracy positioning can be obtained because various error sources can be eliminated and the number of unknown can be decreased in the adjustment computation procedure. As a consequence, short-baseline data processing is widely used in the fields such as deformation monitoring which require precise positioning. However, short-baseline data processing is limited to achieve high positioning accuracy when the height difference between the reference and the rover station is significant. In this study, the effects of tropospheric delays on the determination of short-baseline is analyzed, which depends on the orientation of baseline. The GPS measurements which include tropospheric effect and measurement noises are generated by simulation, and then rover coordinates are computed by short-baseline data processing technique. The residuals of rover coordinates are analyzed to interpret the tropospheric effect on the positioning. The results show that the magnitudes of the biases in the coordinate residuals increase as the baseline length gets longer. The increasing rate is computed as 0.07cm per meter in baseline length. Therefore, the tropospheric effects should be carefully considered in short-baseline data processing when the significant height difference between the reference and rover is observed.

In this paper, we study mobile data collector (MDC) based data-gathering schemes in wireless sensor networks. In Such networks, MDCs are used to collect data from the environment and transfer them to the sink. The majority of existing data-gathering schemes suffer from high data-gathering latency because they use only a single MDC. Although some schemes use multiple MDCs, they focus on maximizing network lifetime rather than minimizing packet delay. In order to address the limitations of existing schemes, this paper focuses on minimizing packet delay for given number of MDCs and minimizing the number of MDCs for a given delay bound of packets. To achieve the minimum packet delay and minimum number of MDCs, two optimization problems are formulated, and traveling distance and traveling time of MDCs are estimated. The interior-point algorithm is used to obtain the optimal solution for each optimization problem. Numerical results and analysis are presented to validate the proposed method.

VG-AnyLAN is a local area network standard developed by the IEEE 802.12 project. While preserving the frame format of IEEE 802.3, VG-AnyLAN adopts a new medium access control called Demand Priority where transmission requests of stations are arbitrated by a control hub in a round-robin manner. Unlike CSMA/CD which is the medium access control of IEEE 802.3, the Demand Priority, while providing the maximum bound on the packet delay, does not put the limit on the network segment size. In this paper, we analyze the delay and the channel utilization performances of the medium access control of IEEE 802.12 VG-AnyLAN. We develope an analytic model of the system under assumptions that each station generates traffic of the equal priority and that the packets are of fixed length. Using the analytic model, we obtain the recursive expression of the average channel utilization and the average access delay The numerical results obtained via analysis are compared to the simulation results of the system for a partial validation of our analysis.

Delay- and Disruption-Tolerant Network (DTN) has been considered as a key technology to overcome main challenges in interplanetary communications such as an intermittent connectivity and high bit error rates. The lack of end-to-end connectivity between source and destination results in long and variable delays and data loss, hence the Internet Protocols cannot operate properly in such environments because it requires an end-to-end connectivity. The DTN, which utilizes 'store-and-forward' message passing scheme between nodes, can overcome the lack of end-to-end connectivity in Interplanetary Network (IPN). In this paper, DTN is applied to 3-hop relay IPN, where messages are transmitted from Earth ground station to Lunar lander through Earth satellite and Lunar orbiter. ONE simulator is used to reflect the real environment of IPN and an efficient resource management method are analyzed to guarantee the message delivery by optimizing a message TTL (Time to Live), buffer size and message fragmentation.

The GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signal is delayed by the neutral atmosphere at the troposphere, so that the delay is one of major error sources for GNSS precise positioning. The tropospheric delay is an integrated refractive index along the path of GNSS signal. The refractive index is empirically related to standard meteorological variables, such as pressure, temperature and water vapor partial pressure, therefore the tropospheric delay could be calculated from them. In this paper, it is presented how to generate meteorological data where observation cannot be performed. KASI(Korea Astronomy & Space Science Institute) has operated 9 GPS (Global Positioning System) permanent stations equipped with co-located MET3A, which is a meteorological sensor. Meteorological data are generated from observations of MET3A by Ordinary Kriging. To compensate a blank of observation data, simple models which consider periodic characteristics for meteorological data, are employed.
