In IEEE 802.16j MMR protocol, two modes about usage of RS are proposed; one is transparent mode to enhance data throughput and the other is non-transparent mode to extend coverage. In this paper, we focus on non-transparent mode and find that the mode can also improve data throughput. Therefore, we analyze data throughput on various RS topology and their extended coverage area by simulation in IEEE 802.16j non-transparent mode. We also compare the simulation results with the single MR-BS system of which coverage is extended by higher transmission power. From the comparisons of simulation results, we see that higher throughput can be obtained in the proposed non-transparent mode.

This paper proposes distributed file placement and coverage expansion techniques for mitigating the traffic bottleneck in backhaul for small-cell networks. In order to minimize the backhaul load with limited memory space, the proposed scheme controls the coverage and file placement of base station according to file popularity distribution and memory space of base stations. In other words, since the cache hit ratio is low when there is small memory capacity or widespread file popularity distribution, the base stations expand its coverage and cache different set of files for the user located in overlapped area to exploit multiple cached file sets of base stations. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional cache strategy in terms of network throughput when there is small memory capacity or widespread file popularity distribution.

The Sensor Registry System(SRS) provides sensor metadata to a user for instant use and seamless interpretation of sensor data in a heterogeneous sensor network environment. The existing sensor registry system cannot provide sensor metadata in case that the network connection is not available or is unstable. To resolve the problem, this paper proposes an extension of sensor registry system using network coverage information. The extended system sends a set of sensor metadata to the user by using network coverage open data (mobile vendors, signal strength, communication type). The extended SRS proposed in this paper supports a safer sensor metadata provision than the existing SRS, and it thus improves the quality of application services.

Recently, VLC(Visible Light Communication) fusing with LED(Light Emitting Diode) used in indoor lighting and wireless communication technology has attracted attention. However, the VLC can communicate only within the coverage to measure the optical signal and the communication disconnection phenomenon is occur in the NLoS(Non-Line-of-Sight) area. In this paper, we propose VLC relay module to extend the coverage of VLC and improve the communication disconnection phenomenon in NLoS area. The proposed VLC relay module transmits the packet received from the transmitter to the VLC relay module and receiver. The experiment was carried out by installing one VLC transmitter and three VLC relay modules, communication coverage expansion and the improvement of communication disconnection phenomenon in the NLoS were confirmed by the increase of the VLC relay module. Also, we confirmed that the optical signal measurement performance is improved 2.4 times by using the dual sampling method.

Accurate predictions of software release times, and estimation of the reliability and availability of a software product require quantification of a critical element of the software testing process : test coverage. This model called Enhanced non-homogeneous poission process(ENHPP). In this paper, exponential coverage and S-shaped model was reviewed, proposes the Kappa coverage model, which maked out efficiency application for software reliability. Algorithm to estimate the parameters used to maximum likelihood estimator and bisection method, model selection based on SSE statistics and Kolmogorov distance, for the sake of efficient model, was employed. From the analysis of mission time, the result of this comparative study shows the excellent performance of Burr coverage model rather than exponential coverage and S-shaped model using NTDS data. This analysis of failure data compared with the Kappa coverage model and the existing model(using arithmetic and Laplace trend tests, bias tests) is presented.

IEEE standard 802.16, often referred to as WiMAX, is considered a "last mile" broadband wireless access alternative to conventional DSL and Cable Internet. One extension that is recently receiving great attention is the IEEE 802.16j Mobile Multihop Relay (MMR) amendment. The focus of this amendment is the development of simple and lower cost relay stations (RSs) that can enhance network coverage and capacity. We use our proposed simple scheduling scheme for serving the SSs in a fair manner and evaluate the performance of WiMAX networks with relays, especially we analyze the impact of interference between RSs on cell throughput Through simulations and numerical analysis, we make several fundamental observations about interference aware cost effective coverage extension in such networks.

In this paper, we propose new cell structures using multi-hop Relay Station(RS) based on IEEE802.16j in Narrow-Beam Trisector Cell (NBTC) and Wide-Beam Trisector Cell (WBTC), which are two methods for cell sectorization using 3-sector directional antennas. Then, we analyze our proposed structures compared with the existing system which does not use any RS about the numbers of optimized Base Station (BS) and multi-hop relay, the extended BS coverage, and the deployment cost according to the traffic density using optimization model. According to the results, we know the reduction of total deployment cost of the proposed systems and that WBTC is suitable when the traffic density is high and NBTC is suitable when the traffic density is low in our proposed multi-hop based NBTC and WBTC structures.

일반적으로 테스트 데이터 자동 생성을 지원하기 위해 심볼릭 실행기나 제약 해결기와 같은 도구를 요구한다. 그러나 이와 같은 도구들을 개발하는 것은 상당한 노력이 요구되는 것도 사실이다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 도구들의 지원 없이 분기 커버리지를 효과적으로 달성할 수 있는 테스트 데이터 생성 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 경로 지향 테스트 데이터 생성을 위해 개발된 Korel의 방법을 확장하여 프로그램의 분기들을 가능한 많이 실행할 수 있는 테스트 데이터를 효과적으로 생성하는 방법을 제안한다.

센서 레지스트리 시스템 (Sensor Registry System, SRS)은 이기종 센서 네트워크 환경에서 센서 데이터의 즉각적 활용 및 끊김 없는 해석을 위해 사용자에게 센서 정보를 제공한다. 불안정한 네트워크 상황에서 지속적인 서비스 제공을 위해서 이동 경로 예측기반 SRS가 연구되었다. 하지만 네트워크가 지원되지 않거나 신호가 약한 지역에서는 여전히 센서 정보의 끊임 없는 제공이 어렵다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 네트워크 커버리지의 정보를 이용한 센서 레지스트리 시스템 확장 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 예측한 경로와 네트워크 커버리지에 대한 오픈 데이터(지역 통신사 정보, 통신 대역폭, 신호 강도, 통신 타입)를 이용하여 사용자가 불안정한 네트워크 지역에 도착하기 전에 해당 지역의 센서 정보를 추가로 송신한다. 기존의 경로 예측기반 SRS의 센서 정보 송신보다 추가 오버헤드가 발생하지만, 사용자는 끊김 없는 센서 정보를 수신하여 이용 센서 응용 서비스의 품질을 높일 수 있다.

와이브로 서비스는 유선통신시장이 정체됨에 따라 국내 유선사업자의 새로운 성장 동력으로 주목받고 있으며, 84개 도시에 대규모 투자가 계획되어 있다. 하지만 신기술의 특성상 많은 소비자 설문에도 불구하고 와이브로의 시장성과는 매우 불확실한 것으로 받아들여지고 있으며, 자칫 대규모 투자에도 불구하고 시장성과가 미약할 경우 해당 기업뿐 아니라 국가적으로도 막대한 손실이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 소비자 성향을 고려하여 효과적인 와이브로 투자 전략을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 특히 본 연구에서는 시뮬레이션 기법을 사용하여 와이브로에 대해 인지된 가치와 소비자의 이동성향을 반영한 서비스 커버리지 전략을 도출하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 따르면 소비자의 이동성향이 높을 경우에는 인구가 가장 많은 지역을 중심으로 서비스 제공지역을 확장하는 전략이 상대적으로 좋은 성과를 보였다. 소비자의 이동성향이 중간이면서 와이브로의 가치가 높을 경우에는 이동성향을 반영한 구역(cluster) 커버리지 전략이 상대적으로 좋은 성과를 나타냈다. 또한 이동성향이 낮을 경우에는 구역 커버리지 전략과 사람이 많은 곳을 대상으로 서비스를 제공하는 전략이 좋은 성과를 보였다.
