본 논문에서는 무선 이동 ATM 네트워크에서 무선채널 상태를 고려하면서 가상목적지와 가상소스를 이용한 효율적인 ABR트래픽 흐름제거 기법을 제안한다. ABR서비스는 높은 우선순위를 갖는 실시간 서비스에 의해 사용되지 않는 유휴대역폭을 효율적으로 사용하는 서비스로, 셀손실에 특히 민감하다. ABR서비스는 대역폭의 효율적인 활용으로 기존ATM네트워크에서 널리 사용되고 있으며, 무선 이동ATM네트워크에서도 이러한 ABR서비스의 제공이 중요하다고 하겠다. 기존 ATM네트워크에서는 효율적인 ABR서비스를 위한 흐름제어기법으로서 RM(Resource Management)셀의 피드백을 이용한 전송율기반 폭주제어 기법을 사용하고 있으나, 이 방식을 무선네트워크에 그대로 적용했을 경우, 심각한 대역폭의 낭비를 가져올 수 있다. 따라서 제안된 기법은 무선 이동네트워크에서 RM셀의 전송을 억제하고 ATM스위치에 의해 MT(Movile terminal)의 ACR을 결정하게 하여 기지국을 통해 단말기로 전송하도록 하였다. ABR트래픽은 MT에서 고정호스트로 전송된다고 가정하고 시뮬레이션을 수행하여, 그 성능을 분석하였다. 성능분석 결과, 제안된 기법은 무선네트워크의 대역폭을 낭비하지 않으면서 링크의 혼잡도를 최소화하여 채널상태에 따라 효율적으로 전송율을 조절할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

We propose a structure for implementation to provide ABR service in ATM-LAN consisting of ATM routers and ATM switches. ATM routers are constructed by installing ATM interface block with ABR capability for this purpose. The structure for EFCI, the basic function in ATM switches to support ABR service, is also proposed. Finally the testing procedure after implementation is provided to verify the conformity of the implemented systems.

Hearing impairment is one of the most common birth defects among infants. Significant bilateral hearing impairment have profound effects on speech and language development. But it can be prevented, if a hearing impairment is identified and treated in its early stage. ABR (auditory brainstem response) is useful screening tool for new born hearing test. However, the interpretation of conventional ABR should be done by a experienced audiologist and testing takes some time. Therefore, A-ABR(automated ABR) which detect ABR peak automatically have been developed recently. In contrast to A-ABR researches became active in overseas, there has been little study in Korea. In this study, we have developed a portable A-ABR system based on the results of our previous study. For the evaluation of the developed system, the clinical trials were performed on adults and infants. As a results, it showed good sensitivity (94.4%) and specificity (92.2%), and accuracy (93.0%) between clinical diagnosis and the developed A-ABR test.

Purpose : Hearing loss is one of the most common birth defects, and early detection and intervention positively impact language/speech and cognitive development. It has been reported that NICU graduates have a high incidence of hearing loss. So we investigated the incidence, risk factors and clinical outcome of hearing loss in NICU graduates. Methods : This study involved neonatal auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing of newborn infants who graduated from the NICU of Kyungpook National University Hospital during a 3-year period (between July 2002 and June 2005) and subsequent follow-up of these infants. Results : ABR evaluations were performed on 474 infants. Of these infants, 64 showed abnormal ABR (13.5 percent). Of 128 ears from these 64 infants, two ears (1.6 percent) and 10 ears (7.8 percent) were classified as severe and profound hearing loss, respectively. The infants with abnormal ABR had higher incidence of prematurity, low birth weight, very low birth weight, neonatal asphyxia, cranio-facial malformation and amikacin treatment over 15 days (P<0.05). In infants with hyperbilirubinemia, the peak level of serum bilirubin, duration of phototherapy and exchange transfusion were not associated with the higher incidence of hearing loss. Follow-up ABR evaluation was performed on 15 infants with abnormal ABR at $8.8{\pm}4.4months$. In follow-up ABR, 80.0% showed improvement or normalization of threshold sensitivity. Conclusion : NICU graduates exhibit high risk for hearing loss. Systemic and effective hearing assessment program is needed for these high risk infants.

In ATM network there exist several traffics according to QoS, such as CBR, rt-VBR, nrt-VBR, UBR, and ABR. Many studies have done at the traffic management of ABR which uses the unused network bandwidth. Many flow control mechanisms have proposed to use efficiently the unused bandwidth. In TMWG(Traffic Management Working Group) of ATM Forum, there exist rate-based, credit-based, and mixture of them to manage flow control of ABR traffic. Among these, rate-based mechanisms adopted as standard because it is flexible and also makes it possible to implement ATM switch with low price and high capacity. In this paper, we study the switch that uses EFCI, ER and VS/VD(Virtual Source/Virtual Destination) with rate-based mechanism. Instead of using queue threshold, we propose a new algorithm which uses bandwidth threshold of input stage of switch, and manages efficiently ABR traffic with EPRCA algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a cell scheduling algorithm for ABR traffic in ATM multiplexer. Proposed Algorithm can support ABR service more efficiently than existing WRR and DWRR algorithm. We evaluate the performances of proposed algorithm through computer simulation. Also, we model the VBR and the ABR traffics as ON/OFF source, and the CBR traffic as a Poisson source. And the simulation shows that proposed algorithm better performance over other cell scheduling algorithm in tem of mean cell delay time.

In this paper we consider the performance of TCP video traffic over ABR with Long-Range Dependent VBR traffic. As compressed coded video traffics are increasing rapidly over Internet, lots of studies are being done for transmitting those traffics efficiently using limited network resources. We consider here the transmitting video service over ABR service in ATM networks, especially satellite networks. CBR or VBR services are suggested in transmitting the video traffic in ATM Forum TM 4.0. But ABR service connection, which is considered as appropriate service for data traffic, can be established with a small amount of bandwidth, MCR (Minimum cell rate). Furthermore ABR service can control the source's transmitting rate using feedback mechanism. Using this feature ABR service can be used in some applications which can control their quality of services corresponding to network loads. Compressed video sources with MPEG-2 are used for Long-Range Dependent VBR traffic here. We model the compressed video source to resemble the MPEG-2 transport streams. These compressed video traffic streams are consisted of three different frames, I-frame, P-frame, and B-frame. So when a network are overloaded, we can control the quality of service using this traffic features. TCP Traffics over ABR need large buffers in ATM switch to satisfy their QoS with background VBR traffics, which have high deviations in bandwidth. Furthermore satellite ATM networks with large feedback delay need large buffers corresponding RTT delay. The performance comparisons among EFCI and ER switch (ERICA+) switches in the network circumstances described above were shown in this paper. We also considered the case with ON-OFF VBR traffics.

ATM Forum has defined a new service class for data applications called Available Bit Rate(ABR) Service, which has highly bursty traffic and unpredictable burst size. It is desirable that we reduce the probability of retrans mission of packets by minimizing the loss of cells because the traffic is much more sensitive to loss than delay. The Forum has also selected the Rate-Based Control for the ABR service and proposed EPRCA as the control mechanism for the service. This paper proposes the combination of EPRCA and the other feedb ack control mechanisms such as BECN and BP. The combined control mechanism control ABR traffic more efficiently and the simulation results show that the network performance can be improved by choosing the appropriate parameters.

In previous papers, it proved relevant to using together with EFCI and ER switch for effective ABR traffic managements. It also applied to EFCI and ER switch algorithm, that consider ABR traffic as poisson pattern. However, in recently network environment, it has been proved about traffic pattern, that is similar to self-similar pattern than poisson pattern. In this paper, we will compare previous poisson pattern with self-similar pattern under ATM network.

In this paper, we propose the new rate-based transmission rates control algorithm that allocates the fair band-width for ABR service in ATM network. In the traditional ABR service, bandwidth is allocated with constant rate increment or decrement, but in the proposed algorithm, it is allocated fairly to the connected calls by the fuzzy inference of the available bandwidth. The fuzzy inference uses buffer state and the buffer variant rate as the input variables, and uses the total transmission rate as a output variable. This inference a bandwidth is fairly distributed over all ABR calls in service. By simmulation, we showed that the proposed method improved 0.17% in link effectiveness when RIF, RDF is 1/4, 38.6% when RIF, RDF 1/16, and 82.4% when RIF, RDF 1/32 than that of the traditional EFPCA.
