Route failure is mainly caused by mobility of mobile host in ad hoc networks. Route failure, which may lead to sudden packet losses and delays, is losing the route from source to destination. In this situation, TCP assumes that congestion has occurred within the network and also initiates the congestion control procedures. Congestion control algorithm provides the means for the source to deal with lost packets. TCP performance in ad hoc environments will be degraded as TCP source cannot distinguish congestion from route failure. In this paper, we propose TCP-P as pre-detection approach to deal with route failure. TCP-P freezes TCP through pre-detection of route failure. Route failure information of the proposed mechanism is obtained not by routing protocol but by MAC protocol. The intermediated node, obtaining route failure information by its MAC layer, relays the information to TCP source and lets TCP source stop the congestion control algorithm. Results reveal that TCP-P responding with proactive manner outperforms other approaches in terms of communication throughput under the presence of node mobility.

DOCSIS and IEEE 802.16 define the usage and element of a MAP which is uplink control message. Standards does not include the details of MAP size and the number of contention slots affecting the performance of MAC protocols for DOCSIS and IEEE 802.16. In this paper, we analyzed the performance of throughput and access delay according to the MAP size and contention slot size. Based on the analytical results, we found the optimal MAP size and the number of contention slots. We found that the protocol shows best performance when the MAP size is 2msec and the number of contention slots is 8. The simulation results can apply to the network system parameters. The simulator can be used to optimize the system parameters in cable network, BWA and WiBro.

This paper analyzes the rate adaptation scheme and suggests applicable strategy of the MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme) for improving DCF throughput in the IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11ad wireless LAN. IEEE 802.11ac and 802.11ad wireless LAN provide MCS technique that dynamically adjusts modulation level and code rate to the time-varying channel conditions in order to obtain considerably high data rates. But these standards did not provide rate adaptation algorithm, so this paper surveyes rate adaptation algorithm and suggests MCS scheme applied to IEEE 802.11ac and 802.11ad wireless LAN. Specially A MAC(Medium Access Control) layer throughput is evaluated over error-prone channel in the IEEE 802.11ac-based wireless LAN. In this evaluation, DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) protocol and A-MPDU (MAC Protocol Data Unit Aggregation) scheme are used. Using theoretical analysis method, the MAC saturation throughput is evaluated with the PER (Packet Error Rate) on the condition that the number of station, transmission probability, the number of parallel beams and the number of frames in each A-MPDU are variables.

Communication in wireless sensor networks comprising a plurality of sensor nodes located in an ad hoc environment is unidirectional in that data gathered by sensor nodes are transmitted to a sink node and not vice versa. In those networks, it is not possible for a server or a gateway to send commands to the sensor nodes to determine whether some previously received data are valid when the data indicate unusual conditions, which makes it difficult to make appropriate reactions to the unusual situations. This paper proposes and implements a TDMA-based sensor network communication protocol named BiWSLP(Bidirectional Wireless Sensor Line Protocol) supporting bidirectional communication capability. The BiWSLP is an extension of the WSLP, a unidirectional sensor network communication protocol based on the TDMA protocol. To test the feasibility of the proposed BiWSLP, we construct a virtual bridge management system capable of sending commands to sensor nodes as well as collecting data from the sensor nodes. Based on the test results of the virtual bridge management system, we show the applicability and advantages of the BiWSLP in terms of energy efficiency and bidirectional communication capability.

The selective media including NPC agar, DHL agar, MacConkey agar, and Cetrimide desoxycholate agar were compared to determine selectivity for the growth of bacteria Cetrimide desoxycholate agar was better than NPC agar, DHL agar, and MacConkey agar for the growth of psychrotrophic grarn-negatve bacteria including Pseudomonas. and for the inhibition of gram positive bacteria The specificity of resazurin reduction time test was investigated to determine post-pasteurization contamination of market milk. Equal volume of Cetrimide desoxycholate broth was added to market milk, which was then incubated at $21^{\circ}C$ for 18 hours. The growth of bacteria in the incubated milk was detected in resazurin reduction time test. The results in resazurin reduction time test and total bacteria number count of market milk after storage at $7^{\circ}C$ were relatively correlated each other. Pseudomonas was isolated most frequently from the market milk stored at $7^{\circ}C$ for 10 days, and Acinetobacter and Aeromonas followed. Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas and Enterobacter were frequently isolated from the mixture of market milk and Cetrimide desoxycholate broth incubated at $21^{\circ}C$ for 18hours in resazurin reduction time test.

The clinical specimens used in this study were collected during the period from March 4, to December 30, 1983, from children's hospitals in Seoul area. They came from clinically apparent cases of diarrheal disease in hospitals. Many specimens were taken from rectal Swabs. During this period, 2166 stool cultures were streaked onto MacConkey plate and were them deposited in selenite broth. Colonies resembling pathogens on MacConkey medium were picked to KIA, Urea agar, malonate broth, ONPG broth, SIM. Reaction on those media cultures were identified biochemically with using API 20E test kit and confirmed serologically with commercially avabile Salmonella antisera(Difco) or Shigella antisera(Denka, Japan). The sensitivity of Salmonella and Shigella tested to ampicillin cephalosporin, chloramphenicol, colistin, gentamicin, tetracycline, streptomycin, nalidixic acid, neomycin, polymyxin B was performed by means of disc diffusion method recommended by Bauer-Kirby, using the discs prepared in BBL Laboratory. 1. There were 34 (1.6%) isolations of Salmonella cultures and 52(2.4%) isolations of Shigella from the 2,116 specimens. Only 53%of Salmonella were isolated by direct streaking on MacConkey plating media, by contrast, 80% of the Shigella were isolated directly. 2. Shigella flexneri types comprised 56% of the Shigellae isolate from 52 Shigellae identified 24% of Salmonella enteritidis ser typhimurium were identified. 3.

Radio frequency (RF) jamming is a denial of service attack targeted at wireless networks. In resource-hungry scenarios with constant traffic demand, jamming can create connectivity problems and seriously affect communication. Therefore, the vulnerabilities of wireless networks must be studied. In this study, we investigate a particular type of RF jamming that exploits the semantics of physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layer protocols. This can be extended to any wireless communication network whose protocol characteristics and operating frequencies are known to the attacker. We propose two efficient jamming techniques: A low-data-rate random jamming and a shot-noise based protocol-aware RF jamming. Both techniques use shot-noise pulses to disrupt ongoing transmission ensuring they are energy efficient, and they significantly reduce the detection probability of the jammer. Further, we derived the tight upper bound on the duration and the number of shot-noise pulses for Wi-Fi, GSM, and WiMax networks. The proposed model takes consider the channel access mechanism employed at the MAC layer, data transmission rate, PHY/MAC layer modulation and channel coding schemes. Moreover, we analyze the effect of different packet sizes on the proposed jamming methodologies. The proposed jamming attack models have been experimentally evaluated for 802.11b networks on an actual testbed environment by transmitting data packets of varying sizes. The achieved results clearly demonstrate a considerable increase in the overall jamming efficiency of the proposed protocol-aware jammer in terms of packet delivery ratio, energy expenditure and detection probabilities over contemporary jamming methods provided in the literature.

In VANET(Vheicle Ad hoc Network), the researches based on the wireless LAN are conducting and the method based on 802.11a is being adapted in IEEE 802.11p WAVE(Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments). However, wireless LAN which uses a single channel in a competition can cause transmission delays because of a frequent collision and a use of CSMA/CA to avoid competition in VANET requiring a fast access. In this paper, we designed CMMP (Clustering based Multi-channel MAC protocol) adequate to VANET and then confirmed the appropriate channel conditions in a V2V communication on the basis of this protocol. The simulation results showed that a packet collision and a transmission delay by the use of an existing single channel based on the contention decreased more than 60% by CMMP.

We examine various dualities over the fields of even orders, giving new dualities for additive codes. We relate the MacWilliams relations and the duals of ${\mathbb{F}}_{2^{2s}}$ codes for these various dualities. We study self-dual codes with respect to these dualities and prove that any subgroup of order $2^s$ of the additive group is a self-dual code with respect to some duality.
