We propose a new MPLS restoration scheme that uses network resources more efficiently and minimizes the backup path cost effectively. Contrary to other restoration strategies, the proposed restoration scheme starts the recovery action at the selected node of a working LSP. At LSP setup, the working and backup path cost is evaluated and the starting node of restoration is designated. By doing so, the restoration speed could be further increased and resource utilization could be maximized. We simulated the proposed scheme and compared with other restoration and protection schemes. The result shows that our scheme can provide fast restoration with acceptable delay and loss characteristics.

Modern companies have been facing devastating impacts from unexpected events such as demand uncertainties, natural disasters, and terrorist attacks due to the increasing global supply chain complexity. This paper proposes a multi stage logistic network model under disruption risk. To formulate the problem practically, we consider the effect of continuity rate, which is defined as a percentage of ability of the facility to provide backup allocation to customers in the abnormal situation and affect the investments and operational costs. Then we vary the fixed charge for opening facilities and the operational cost according to the continuity rate. The operational level of the company decreases below the normal condition when disruption occurs. The backup source after the disrup-tion is recovered not only as soon as possible, but also as much as possible. This is a concept of the business continuity plan to reduce the recovery time objective such a continuity rate will affect the investments and op-erational costs. Through numerical experiments, we have shown the proposed idea is capable of designing a resilient logistic network available for business continuity management/plan.

위성을 전체적으로 제어하는 탑재소프트웨어가 동작하는 주 메모리와는 별도로 세이프가드 메모리가 있다. 세이프가드 메모리는 주로 위성의 장애관리를 위해 사용되는 것으로 프로세서 리셋 시에 전체적으로 초기화가 수행되는 주 메모리와는 달리 별도의 전원을 사용하여 항상 Power-ON 상태를 유지하고 주/부 2개의 메모리가 주/부 프로세서와 Cross-Strap으로 연결되어 어느 프로세서에서든 접속이 가능하도록 구성되어 있다. 위성에 심각한 장애가 발생하여 정상적인 운영이 불가능한 경우, 위성은 Fail-over 과정을 거치게 되는데, Fail-over 과정에서 2개의 세이프가드 메모리의 비상운영데이터 영역에 장애 발생원인 및 프로세서 리셋 이후에 필요한 정보들을 기록하고, 미리 정해진 Backup 하드웨어를 이용하여 시스템 초기화가 수행된다. Backup 하드웨어를 통하여 프로세서가 정상적으로 Boot-up되면 세이프가드 메모리에 저장된 비상운영데이터를 이용하여 위성의 장애발생 원인을 파악하고, 정상운영모드로 복귀하는 절차를 거치게 된다. 본 논문은 저궤도 위성에서 사용되는 세이프가드 메모리 운영방식에 대해 기술한 것이다.

Free-space optical (FSO) communication is considered to be a potential solution to congestion in the radio-frequency spectrum and last-mile-access bottleneck issues in future cellular communication networks, such as 5G and beyond. However, FSO link performance may degrade significantly due to irradiance fluctuations and random temporal fluctuations from atmospheric turbulence. Therefore, in this work the main objective is to reduce the effect of the atmospheric turbulence by considering a multihop FSO communication system with amplify-and-forward relaying supported by a radio-frequency (RF) link, which form a hybrid FSO/RF communication system. The FSO link is assumed to follow the gamma-gamma fading model, which represents strong turbulence. Also, the RF link is modeled by a Rayleigh distribution. The performance of the considered system, in terms of the outage probability and average bit-error rate (BER), is investigated and analyzed under various weather conditions and pointing errors. Furthermore, the effect of the number of employed relay nodes on the performance of the system is investigated. The results indicate that the considered system reduces outage probability and average BER significantly, especially for low channel quality. Finally, the closed-form expressions derived in this work are compared to the results of Monte Carlo simulations, for verification.

Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) allow to solve the high demand for bandwidth due to the increase in the number of internet users and the explosion of multicast applications. To support multicast applications, network operator computes a tree-shaped path, which is a set of optical channels. Generally, the demand for bandwidth on an optical channel is enormous so that, if there is a single fiber failure, it could cause a serious interruption in data transmission and a huge loss of data. To avoid serious interruption in data transmission, the tree-shaped path of a multicast connection may be protected. Several works have been proposed methods to do this. But these works may cause the duplication of some resources after recovery due to a link failure. Therefore, this duplication can lead to inefficient use of network resources. Our work consists to propose a method of protection that eliminates the link that causes duplication so that, the final backup path structure after link failure is a tree. Evaluations and analyses have shown that our method uses less backup resources than methods for protection of a multicast connection.

In this paper, we propose a fault tolerant embedded system using memory redundancy on the full-virtualization based virtual machine monitor. The proposed virtual machine monitor first virtualizes main memory of embedded system utilizing efficient shadow page table scheme so that the embedded system runs as a virtual machine on the virtual machine monitor. The virtual machine monitor makes the backup of the embedded system run as another virtual machine by copying memory contents of the embedded system into memory space of backup system according to predefined schedules. When an error occurs in the target virtual machine, the corresponding standby virtual machine takes the role of target virtual machine and continues its operation. Performance evaluation studies show that such backups and switches of virtual machines are performed with minor performance degradation.

The NSSS (Nuclear Steam Supply System) thermal-hydraulic programs adopted in the domestic full-scope power plant simulators were provided in early 1980s by foreign vendors. Because of limited compulsational capability at that time, they usually used very simplified physical models for a real-time simulation of NSSS thermal-hydraulic transients, which entails inaccurate results and, thus, the possibility of so-called "negative training", especially for complicated two-phase flows in the reactor coolant system. In resolve the problem, KEPRI developed a realistic NSSS T/H program ARTS which was based on the RETRAN-3D code for the improvement of the Nuclear Power Plant full-scope simulator. The ARTS (based on the RETRAN-3D code) guarantees the real-time calculations of almost all transients and ensures the robustness of simulations. However, there is some possibility of failing to calculate in the case of large break loss of coolant accident (LBLOCA) and low-pressure low-flow transient. In this case, the backup calculation system cover automatically the ARTS. The backup calculation system was expected to provide substantially more accurate predictions in the analysis of the system transients involving LBLOCA. The results were reasonable in terms of accuracy, real-time simulation, robustness and education of operators, complying with FSAR and the AMSI/ANS-3.5-1998 simulator software performance criteria.

This study addresses on the design of performance monitoring system for the time synchronization service of the enhanced long-range navigation (eLoran) system, which has a representative ground-wave radio broadcast system capable of providing positioning, navigation, timing and data (PNT&D) services. The limitations of time-synchronized systems due to the signal vulnerabilities of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) are explained, and the performance monitoring system for the eLoran timing service as a backup to the GNSS is proposed. The time synchronization service using eLoran system as well as system configurations and the user requirements in the differential Loran (dLoran) system are described to monitor the time synchronization performance. The results of the designed system are presented for long-term operation in the eLoran testbed environment. As the results of time performance monitoring, we were able to verify the time synchronization precision within 43.71 ns without corrections, 22.52 ns with corrections. Based on these results, the eLoran system can be utilized as a precise time synchronization source for GPS timing backup.

The significance of PNT information in the fourth industrial revolution is viewed differently in relation to the past. Autonomous vehicles, autonomous vessels, smart grids, and national infrastructure require sustainable and reliable services in addition to their high precision service. Satellite navigation system, which is the most representative system for providing PNT information, receive signals from satellites outside the earth so signal reception power is low and signal structures for civilian use are open to the public. Therefore, it is vulnerable to intentional and unintentional interference or hacking. Satellite navigation systems, which can easily acquire high performance of PNT information at low cost, require alternatives due to its vulnerability to the hacking. This paper proposed R-Mode (Ranging Mode) technology that utilizes currently operated navigation and communication infrastructure in terms of Signals of OPportunity (SoOP). For this, the Nationwide Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (NDGNSS), which currently gives a service of Medium Frequency (MF) navigation signal broadcasting, was used to validate the feasibility of a backup infrastructure in domestic maritime areas through simulation analysis.
