Most of the accidents occurred from the chemical plants are related to the catastrophic gas release events when the large amount of toxic materials is leaked from its storage tank or transmitting pipe lines. In this case, the greatest concerns are how the spreading behaviors of leakages are depended on the ambient conditions such as air stability and other environmental factors. Hence, we have focused on the risk assessments and consequential analysis for chlorine as an illustrative example. As appeared in the result, Fire & Explosion Index depicted it a bit dangerous with presenting the comprehensive degrees of hazard 90.7. And as a result of Phast6.0/ALOHA, the trends of each scenario appeared considerably identical although there are some differences in the resulting effects according to the input data for the Gas Model. The consequence analysis is performed numerically based on the dense gas mode. In the future, using more correct input data, material properties, and topographical configuration, the method of this research will be useful for the guideline of the risk assessment when the release of toxicants breaks out.

In this paper, the performance of packet radio networks using the ALOHA protocol in Rayleigh fading channels is analyzed in terms of the capture probability and the throughput. We consider capture effect in order to increase the probability of the channel access and to include cellular environment we assume that the traffic is a truncated bell-shaped distribution. The packet proposed in this paper consists of a competition part and a data part to decrease the probability of collision in the channel access. In the competition part, DS system with common spreading code is used and in the data, hybrid DS/FH system is used. We consider the linear correlation receiver and the hard-limiting correlation receiver as the receiver model. BPSK modulation is also employed. Because hybrid DS/FH systems are not sensitive to variation of the interference power, as we choose a proper chip number N and a frequency hopping number q, we can obtain a steady system performance even though the variation of interference power is severe fading channels such as Rayleigh fading.

An improved backoff algorithm for retransmission randomization for OFDMA/CDMA/slotted ALOHA used in the ranging subchannel of IEEE 802.16 network is proposed. Exploiting the fact that a base station coordinates channel access using UL-/DL-MAP in the IEEE 802.16 networks, we propose a minor modification of the existing IEEE 802.16 in order to increase throughput, decrease delay variation and achieve a graceful performance degradation in case of overload channel condition of the random access protocol. The algorithm basically estimates the number of backlogged users and arrival rate using which, the BS calculates retransmission probability for the subscriber stations involved in a collision. Computer simulation is performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and to compare the performance with existing binary exponential backoff algorithm.

본 논문에서는 혼합예약요청(hybrid reservation request) 알고리즘을 적용한 새로운 동적 예약 TDMA 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안된 혼합 예약 요청 알고리즘은 기존의 랜덤접속방식과 기지국의 중재 없이 단말간 직접 신호교환을 통하여 이웃 단말의 새로운 예약 요청을 대신 전송하는 방식을 혼합해서 사용하는 방법이다. 이 알고리즘은 기존 slotted-ALOHA 방식을 이용한 예약 요청의 비효율성을 개선하여 새로운 단말의 예약 요청실패로 인한 셀 전송지연 및 호 봉쇄 확률(call blocking probability)을 줄이기 위한 목적으로 제안되었다. 제안한 알고리즘은 새로 전송할 데이터를 가진 단말이 많은 경우에 특히 효율적이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 프로토콜은 모든 종류의 트래픽이 예약을 통한 전송방식으로 전송된다. 즉, 단말들로부터의 예약 요청을 바탕으로, 기지국이 스케줄링을 하여 트래픽 별로 접근 슬랏을 할당해 주는 방식이다. 이 경우, 예약 요청을 하는 방법은 새로 전송을 개시하는 단말과 이미 전송중인 단말의 경우가 다른데, 새로운 전송을 위한 예약이 필요한 단말은 제안하는 알고리즘을 이용하며, 이미 예약에 성공한 단말은 기존에 사용하던 자신의 버스트헤더(burst header)에 피기백(piggybacking)하는 방법을 이용한다. 제안한 알고리즘에 따라, 새로 접속하는 단말이나 새로운 예약 요청이 필요한 단말은 두 단계로 요청을 전송할 수 있다. 첫 번째 단계는 이미 예약에 성공하여 전송중인 이웃단말에게 전송요청신호를 보내 간접적으로 기지국에게 예약을 요청하는 방법이며, 두 번째 단계는 첫 번째 방법이 실패했을 경우 기존의 랜덤접속방법에 참가하는 것이다 먼저 첫 번째 방법에서는 단말이 랜덤접근 구간의 예약요청구간(resonation request)중 하나의 미니 슬랏을 선택해 이웃 단말들에게 한번 방송(broadcast) 한다 이후 ACK 응답구간(ACK receive)에서 응답을 받으면 예약요청성공이라 간주하고, 그렇지 않으면 실패로 판단, 뒤이어 오는 랜덤접근구간(normal random access period)에 참가하여 기지국에게 직접 예약 요청을 한다. 시뮬레이션은 기존 slotted-ALOHA방식으로 랜덤 접속을 할 경우와 제안한 방식과의 성공률을 비교해 제안한 방식의 call blocking probability가 낮음을 보였다.

Reducing the energy that consumed by tag is a key requirement for the wider acceptance of the active RFID systems that use battery constrained tags. When the reader is not interrogating, the active RFID standard protocols try to reduce energy consumption of tags by using sleep mode. On sleep mode tags is active by receiving a specific signals from reader, until tag receive a sleep mode command from the reader, a tag waste energy for remaining in RX mode. Overhearing is a state of a tag in which it wastes energy for maintaining active RX state while there is no frame destined to it. According to our analysis, the amount of energy consumed by a tag due to overhearing is several time larger than that consumed by the effective communication. We propose RANO(Reservation Aloha for No Overhearing) that is designed to inform a tag of its effective communication intervals to eliminate overhearing problem in active RFID communication. The performance of the proposed protocol was evaluated through the real world by changing the number of tags and size of data. The result of an experiment, the proposed protocol performed saving about 22 times less than the standard protocol did.

A medium access control protocol is proposed for integrated voice and data services in the packet CDMA network with a small coverage. Uplink channels are composed of time slots and multiple spreading codes for each slot. This protocol gives higher access priority to the delay-sensitive voice traffic than to the data traffic. During a talkspurt, voice terminals reserve a spreading code to transmit multiple voice packets. On the other hand, whenever generating a data packet, data terminals transmit a packet based on the status information of spreading codes in the current slot, which is received from base station. In this protocol, voice packet does not come into collision with data packet. Therefore, this protocol can increase the maximum number of voice terminals.

As the number of IoT devices increases, power management of the cluster head, which acts as a gateway between the cluster and sink nodes in the IoT network, becomes crucial. Particularly when the cluster head is a mobile wireless terminal, the power consumption of the IoT network must be minimized over its lifetime. In addition, the delay of information transmission in the IoT network is one of the primary metrics for rapid information collecting in the IoT network. In this paper, we propose a low-power buffer management algorithm that takes into account the information transmission delay in an IoT network. By forwarding or skipping received packets utilizing deep Q learning employed in deep reinforcement learning methods, the suggested method is able to reduce power consumption while decreasing transmission delay level. The proposed approach is demonstrated to reduce power consumption and to improve delay relative to the existing buffer management technique used as a comparison in slotted ALOHA protocol.

This study addresses the escalating issue of worldwide hydrogen gas accidents, which has seen a significant increase in occurrences. To comprehensively evaluate the risks associated with hydrogen, a two approach was employed in this study. Firstly, a qualitative risk assessment was conducted using the bow-tie method. Secondly, a quantitative consequence analysis was carried out utilizing the areal locations of hazardous atmospheres (ALOHA) model. The study applied this method to two incidents, the hydrogen explosion accident occurred at the Muskingum River power plant in Ohio, USA, 2007 and the hydrogen storage tank explosion accident occurred at the K Technopark water electrolysis system in Korea, 2019. The results of the risk assessments revealed critical issues such as deterioration of gas pipe, human errors in incident response and the omission of important gas cleaning facility. By analyzing the cause of accidents and assessing risks quantitatively, the effective accident response plans are proposed and the effectiveness is evaluated by comparing the effective distance obtained by ALOHA simulation. Notably, the implementation of these measures led to a significant 54.5% reduction in the risk degree of potential explosions compared to the existing risk levels.

When multiple Tags transmit their IDs to the Reader, tag identification time is delayed due to collisions. Therefore, to reduce the reader's identification time, an efficient anti-collision technology is needed. In this paper, a new anti-collision method is proposed. The method estimates the number of tags and allocates proper number of slots based on the DFSA. The performance of proposed method is compared with existing methods through extensive simulations.

In a long term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) system, the traffic overload of machine type communication devices is a challenge because too many devices attempt to access a base station (BS) simultaneously in a short period of time. We discuss the challenge of the gap between the theoretical maximum throughput and the actual throughput. A gap occurs when the BS cannot change the number of preambles for a random access channel (RACH) until multiple numbers of RACHs are completed. In addition, a preamble partition approach is proposed in this paper that uses two groups of preambles to reduce this gap. A performance evaluation shows that the proposed approach increases the average throughput. For 100,000 devices in a cell, the throughput is increased by 29.7% to 114.4% and 23.0% to 91.3% with uniform and Beta-distributed arrivals of devices, respectively.
