Using driving simulation, this study investigated the effects of driver's trust in the adaptive cruise control (ACC) system and road density on driver's workload and situation awareness. The drivers were allocated into one of four experimental conditions manipulated by ACC system trust level (trust-increased vs. trust-decreased) and road congestion (high vs. low). The workload and situational awareness of the participants were measured as dependent variables. The results showed followings. First, trust-decreased group for the ACC system had significantly lower trust scores for the system in all of the measurement items, including reducing the driving load and securing safe driving due to the use of this system, than the trust-increased group. Second, the trust-decreased group showed a slower reaction time in the secondary tasks and higher subjective workload than trust-increased group. Third, in contrast, the situational awareness for the driving situation was significantly higher in the trust-decreased group than trust-increased group. The results of this study showed that the driver's trust in the ACC system can affect the various information processing performed while driving. Also, these results suggest that trust in the user's system should be considered as an important variable in the design of an automated driving assistance system.

Active queue management (AQM) refers to a family of packet dropping mechanisms for router queues that has been proposed to support end-to-end congestion control mechanisms in the Internet. The proposed AQM algorithm by the IETF is Random Early Detection (RED). The RED algorithm allows network operators simultaneously to achieve high throughput and low average delay. However. the resulting average queue length is quite sensitive to the level of congestion. In this paper, we propose the Refined Adaptive RED(RARED), as a solution for reducing the sensitivity to parameters that affect RED performance. Based on simulations, we observe that the RARED scheme improves overall performance of the network. In particular, the RARED scheme reduces packet drop rate and improves goodput.

In this paper we propose a TFRC(TCP Friendly Rate Control) which guarantees a minimum rate in order to improve the efficiency of the previous TFRC which cannot distinguish congestion losses and wireless losses and decreases throughput both in wired and wireless networks. This TFRC technique is able to guarantee a minimum rate for video by restricting a loss event rate with packet loss probability about existing TFRC and constraining a rate reduction from the feedback timeout. When we experimented both the existing TFRC and the new one with TCP in the same network, we found that the latter is better than the former. Consequently, it shows that the proposed TFRC can improve video streaming quality using a guaranteed minimum transmission rate.

본 논문은 무선환경에서 TCP를 이용한 데이터 전송시 전력 소비를 감소시킬 수 있는 저전력 전송 기법을 제안한다. TCP 프로토플은 재전송, 그리고 혼잡제어 등의 기능을 통해 효율적이고 신뢰성있는 통신을 지원한다. 이러한 특성은 망상태가 악화될 경우 이동기기에서 과다한 재전송 및 혼잡제어를 일으켜 이동기기의 전력소비를 증가시키는 주요한 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 재전송 제어를 통해 이를 해결하고 제시된 기법이 기존의 프로토콜보다 전력 소비면에서 효율적임을 시뮬레이션을 통해 밝힌다.

우리나라 전력계통은 비수도권 지역의 발전단가가 수도권 지역의 발전단가보다 값이 싸기 때문에 비수도권에서 수도권지역을 연결해주는 6개의 북상선로에 흐르는 융통조류의 양이 하나의 경제성을 평가하는 기준이 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 병렬형 FACTS 투입에 따른 혼잡비용 감소를 융통조류 여유(f-V)해석을 통하여 평가하였다. 수도권 지역에 병렬형 FACTS가 투입된다면 수도권지역에 무효전력 공급으로 인하여 융통조류 증가를 우리나라 중장기 계통에 대해 모의하고, 이때의 발전 비용을 계산하여 FACTS 투입에 따른 혼잡비용의 경감효과를 분석하였다.

In this paper, we proposed an enhanced TCP congestion control algorithm using RTT with congestion window parameter cwnd to minimize the effect of TCP congestion. The proposed scheme could avoid the occurrence of frequent congestion and decrease the delay caused by the recovery time and the using amount of switch buffer. Through the simulation, we showed that the proposed scheme cm acquire higher performance than the existing scheme. There are 22.56％ improvement at the average using buffer efficiency, and packet drop rate is 0.1％ which is less than existing scheme.

UDT(UDP-based Data Transfer protocol)는 연구망과 같은 대용량 고속 네트워크에서 신속하고 안정적인 데이터 전송에 효율적인 전송 프로토콜이다. 하지만 네트워크가 혼잡한 상황이거나 데이터 패킷 손실이 발생할 경우 매우 공격적인 전송 메커니즘으로 인해 오히려 성능이 감소하는 경우가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 지연 예측을 통해 혼잡을 제어하는 TCP-Vegas 기법을 UDT에 적용하여 네트워크 상황에 보다 적응적인 UDT 혼잡제어 기법을 제안한다. 즉, 네트워크 라우터 큐에 빌드된 Diff 값을 미리 예측하고 Diff 값에 따라 UDT rate control을 조절하여 기존 방법보다 향상된 성능을 얻는다. 네트워크 시뮬레이터인 NS2를 통해 실험한 결과 패킷 손실이 없는 상황에서 최대 11%, 손실률 0.01%인 상황에서는 최대 31%의 성능 향상을 확인하였다.

The clustered heterogeneous wireless sensor network is comprised of sensor nodes and cluster heads, which are hierarchically organized for different objectives. In the network, we should especially take care of managing node resources to enhance network performance based on memory and battery capacity constraints. For instances, if some interesting events occur frequently in the vicinity of particular sensor nodes, those nodes might receive massive amounts of data. Data congestion can happen due to a memory bottleneck or link disconnection at cluster heads because the remaining memory space is filled with those data. In this paper, we utilize drones as mobile sinks to resolve data congestion and model the network, sensor nodes, and cluster heads. We also design a cost function and a congestion indicator to calculate the degree of congestion. Then we propose a data congestion map index and a data congestion mapping scheme to deploy drones at optimal points. Using control variable, we explore the relationship between the degree of congestion and the number of drones to be deployed, as well as the number of drones that must be below a certain degree of congestion and within communication range. Furthermore, we show that our algorithm outperforms previous work by a minimum of 20% in terms of memory overflow.

In wired networks, packet losses mostly occur due to congestion. TCP reacts to the congestion by decreasing its congestion window, thus to reduce network utilization. In wireless networks, however, losses may occur due to the high bit-error rate of the transmission medium or due to fading and mobility. Nevertheless, TCP still reacts to packet losses according to its congestion control scheme, thus to reduce the network utilization unnecessarily. This reduction of network utilization causes the performance of TCP to decrease. In this paper, we predict packet loss by using RSS(Received Signal Strengths) on the wireless and suggest adding RSS flag bit in ACK packet of MH. By using RSS flag bit in ACK, the FH(Fixed Host) decides whether it adopt congestion control scheme or not for the maximum throughput. The result of the simulation by NS-2 shows that the proposed mechanism significantly increases sending amount and receiving amount by 40% at maximum.

The optical Internet is considered as a feasible solution for transporting huge amount of traffic volume in the future Internet. Among optical switching technology for the optical Internet, OBS becomes one of the most promoting solution. Recently, a lebeled OBS(LOBS) architecture is considered for an efficient control on OBS network. Given that a data burst may contain few thousands of IP packets, a single loss of data burst results in a serious throughput degradation in LOBS network. In this paper, we improve the performance of LOBS network by introducing the burst congestion control mechanism. More specifically, the OBS router at the network core detects the network congestion by measuring the loss probability of burst control packet. The OBS router at the network edge reduces the burst generation according to the network condition repored by the OBS router at the network core. Through the simulations, it is shown that the proposed congestion control mechanism can reduce the burst loss probability and improve the LOBS network throughput.
