In this paper, we analyze the performance of dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying in cooperative networks with partial relay selection. An AF relay gain considered in this paper includes channel-noise-assisted relay gain. Leveraging a received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) model, we derive exact closed-form expressions for the probability density function (pdf) and cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the end-to-end SNR. Moreover, an exact closed-form expression of the ergodic capacity for dual-hop AF relaying with channel-noise-assisted relay gain and partial relay selection is investigated. The analytical results shown in this paper are confirmed by Monte-Carlo simulations.

공공 민간이 함께 사이버위협을 조기 탐지 전파 할 수 있는 사이버위협정보 공유체계 구축에 관한 논의가 본격적으로 진행되고 있다. 아울러 사이버위협정보의 오남용에 따른 부작용과 민감 정보유출 등 잠재적인 위협이 발생할 부작용도 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 국내외 사이버위협 정보공유 현황과 관련법규를 살펴보고, 예상되는 문제점을 규명한 뒤 이를 완화하기 위한 정책적 기술적 요구사항에 대한 우선순위를 도출한다. 연구의 결과로, 정보공유체계를 효과적으로 수립하기 위한 정책적 요구사항이 기술적 요구사항 보다 중요한 것으로 나타났다. 정책적 요구사항은 관련 법적 근거의 마련, 정보관리체계 마련 순으로 나타났으며, 기술적 요구사항은 정보 표현방식 및 전송규격 표준화, 정보 수집 방법 및 신뢰성 개선 순인 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 효과적인 정보공유체계 수립을 위해서는 국가가 주도하여 정책적 기반과 표준기술을 구축하되, 공공 민간이 적극적으로 참여하도록 유도하고 협력하여 정보공유체계를 구축해 나가는 방식이 보다 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

Selection relaying(SR) is usually based on signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) to decide whether or not to forward recovered symbols. However, instantaneous noise at relay is ignored, leading to the risk of erroneous retransmission induced by the relay that can be detrimental to the eventual detection of symbols at destination. To overcome this problem, we propose using new symbol error probability(SEP) related directly to reliability of received symbols instead of SNR. Simulation results show that the proposed SEP-based SR is considerably better than the conventional SNR-based SR under any relay position and threshold.

유비쿼터스 환경에 존재하는 스마트 객체들 사이의 협력으로 지능적인 서비스를 제공하는 시스템을 구축하기 위한 새로운 패러다임으로 커뮤니티 컴퓨팅이 제안되어, 활발히 연구되고 있다. 커뮤니티는 해결해야 할 목표를 가지며 목표 달성을 위해 필요한 멤버들을 구성하고, 멤버들은 목표 달성을 위해 상호작용한다. 이러한 상황에서 멤버의 결함은 멤버 사이의 상호작용을 중단시키는데, 원활한 멤버 사이의 상호작용이 커뮤니티의 목표를 달성하는 가장 중요한 문제이므로, 결국 멤버의 결함은 커뮤니티의 목표 달성의 실패를 가져온다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 컨텍스트 온톨로지를 이용한 멤버의 복제 방법 및 복구 알고리즘을 제안한다. 각 멤버는 자신의 상태를 커뮤니티에 전송하며, 커뮤니티는 모든 멤버의 상태를 온톨로지로서 유지한다. 멤버의 결함이 발견되면, 커뮤니티는 결함이 발생한 멤버의 상태 온톨로지를 추론하여 이 멤버를 대신할 새로운 멤버를 커뮤니티로 끌어들인다. 커뮤니티에 들어온 새로운 멤버는 다른 멤버들과 즉시 상호작용을 할 수 없기 때문에, 커뮤니티로부터 결함이 발생한 멤버의 온톨로지를 전송 받아 추론하여 자신의 상태를 결함이 발생한 멤버의 상태로 전환시킨다. 이 과정이 끝나면, 새로운 멤버는 자연스럽게 다른 멤버들과 상호작용을 할 수 있으며, 커뮤니티는 목표 달성을 위해 계속적으로 나아간다. 본 논문에서는 이 알고리즘의 빠르고 효율적인 수행을 위해 OWL(Web Ontology Language)로 기술된 컨텍스트 온톨로지를 사용하였으면, Jade 에이전트 플랫폼을 이용하여 제안한 방법을 실험, 분석 하였다.

For the escape from a maze, the cooperative method by robot swarm was proposed in this paper. The robots can freely move by collecting essential data and making a decision in the use of sensors; however, a central control system is required to organize all robots for the escape from the maze. The robots explore new mazes and then send the information to the system for analyzing and mapping the escaping route. Three issues were considered as follows for the effective escape by multiple robots from the mazes in this paper. In the first, the mazes began to divide and secondly, dead-ends should be blocked. Finally, after the first arrivals at the destination, a shortcut should be provided for rapid escaping from the maze. The parallel-escape algorithms were applied to the different size of mazes, so that robot swarm can effectively get away the mazes.

In this paper, we carried out a study on how to find an appropriate helper node for cooperative communications, the role of which is very import to enhance system throughput of wireless communication system. The busy tone cooperative MAC (BT-COMAC) protocol proposed in this paper is a new cooperative MAC protocol with a reactive helper node scheme and maximizes the benefits of existing schemes while making up for their shortcomings. We conducted performance evaluation of this new protocol using computer simulation experiment. System throughput in bps and channel access delay are utilized as performance measures. We used a random way point mobility model where every communication node moves independently one another, and slow fading channel where every communication node decided its transmission rate with received power basis. Numerical results show that the new MAC protocol enhances system throughput as much as 15% of the existing scheme.

Recently, various transmission techniques for communication and broadcasting systems have been developed to meet the dramatically increasing requirement of consumers. Because UWB (Ultra-Wideband) is a wireless communication technique that supports high data rate with low power, it can satisfy the requirement and can be applied to various wireless communication services. The multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) system, one of UWB system, is the wireless communication system that satisfies the transmission characteristic for UWB and so it can be used for various wireless communication services. In this paper, we propose a scheme that uses hierarchical modulation which is applied in digital video broadcasting system at the source and adaptive modulation based on the channel quality at the relays. The simulation results have shown that the proposed scheme has both the advantages of the increased throughput by 33% and similar BER performance to conventional scheme.

Cognitive radio should imply a proper sensing technique for detecting the presence of licensed users to identify the unused spectrum holes. Besides this, this information should also be used to opportunistically provide communication among secondary users. At the same time the performance of the primary user should not be declined by the secondary users. The detection of licensed users may be significantly difficult for shadowing effect. To prevail over this problem cooperative spectrum sensing, In which the combined observation information gained by multiple secondary users is employed to achieve higher performance of detection, has been inspected. However, the primary challenge of cooperative sensing lays in its ability to detect the presence of licensed user quickly and accurately. In this paper, we have used UltraWideBand (UWB) to detect the presence of licensed users and transmit the sensing information among the nodes of the network. UWB has the capability of transmitting data at a very high rate. It is unique in co-existence capability with narrow band systems. Here, we have shown that the detection probability of licensed user is improved by means of transmitting the spectrum sensing information via UWB. We also have analyzed the throughput of the proposed technique and compared the result with existing sensing method.

In this paper, we propose a joint bandwidth allocation and path selection scheme for IEEE 802.16j networks in uplink with cooperative relaying, and we evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme by using OPNET based simulation in hilly terrain with heavy tree density. The proposed scheme maximizes the system throughput in uplink with cooperative relaying in IEEE 802.16j networks. Then, we transform the proposed scheme into multi-dimensional multiple choice knapsack problem (MMKP) based scheme. We also propose uplink throughput maximization scheme and MMKP based scheme without cooperative relaying. We show that the system throughput of the proposed MMKP based scheme is higher than that of link quality based scheme, and cooperative relaying provides higher system throughput than the conventional case without cooperative relaying in uplink.

The WiMedia Alliance has specified a Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC) protocol based on UWB for high speed wireless home networks and Wireless USB. In this paper, firstly, the fair SoQ-based Distributed Reservation Protocol (DRP) for D-MAC is analyzed. And a novel SoQ-based relay transmission protocol is proposed to overcome DRP conflicts fast. In the proposed protocol, each device executes the Satisfaction of QoS (SoQ) time slot allocation algorithm independently. And, in order to give the loser device due to DRP conflicts another chance to maintain QoS resources, the proposed relay transmission protocol helps the device reserve another indirect link maintaining the required QoS resources via a relay node.
