This paper proposes an analytical performance model of IEEE 802.15.4 in the presence of hidden nodes. Conventional 802.15.4 mathematical models assume ideal situations where every node can detect the transmission signal of every other nodes different from the realistic environments. Since nodes can be randomly located in real environments so that some nodes' presence is hidden from other ones, this assumption leads to wrong performance evaluation of 802.15.4. For solving this problem, we develop an extended performance model which combines the traditional 802.15.4 performance model with one for accounting the presence of hidden nodes. The extended model predicts the rapid performance degradation of 802.15.4 due to the small number of hidden nodes. The performance, for example, degrades by 62% at maximum when 5% of the total nodes are hidden. These predictions are confirmed to be equal to those of ns-2 simulations by less than 6% difference.

This paper proposed Enhanced Segmentized Clear Channel Assesment(ESCCA) for the IEEE 802.15.4 networks. This method divides original CCA into two groups to check precise channel status and perform additional CCA to increase throughput performance. Through the proposed method, the device can access the channel more often, so the transmission efficiency of the IEEE 802.15.4 network improves. To confirm the feasibility and usability of the proposed method, computer simulation has been performed. In the simulation, a star topology with one coordinator and a lot of devices is considered and the traffic flows are all one way, with the communication directed to the coordinator. Simulation results_ show the proposed method is improving maximum 10 kbps of throughput and decreasing maximum 15 of the average number of total CCA than IEEE 802.15.4 CCA method.

In this paper, we proposed an efficient algorithm using pulse signal based on group-node-contention in LR-WPAN. The purpose of IEEE 802.15.4 is low speed, low cost and low power consumption. Recently, as applications of LR-WPAN have been extended, there is a strong probability of collision as well and almost collision occurs because of hidden node problem. Moreover, if the collision continuously occurs due to hidden node collision, network performance could be decreased. Nowadays, although several papers focus on the hidden node collision, algorithms waste the channel resource if continuous collisions frequently occur. In this paper, we assume that PAN has been already formed groups, and by using pulse signal, coordinator allocates channel and orders, and then, nodes in the allocated group can compete each other. Hence, contention nodes are reduced significantly, channel wastage caused by collision is decreased, and data transmission rate is improving. Finally, this algorithm can protect the network from disruption caused by frequent collisions. Simulation shows that this algorithm can improve the performance.

Cognitive radio (CR) has emerged as one of effective methods to enhance the utilization of existing radio spectrum. Main principle of CR is that secondary users (SUs) are allowed to use the spectrum unused by primary users (PUs) without interfering PU's transmissions. In this paper, PUs operate on a slot-by-slot basis and SUs try to exploit the slots unused by PUs. We propose OSA protocols in the single channel and we propose an opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) protocols in the multi-channel cognitive radio networks with one control channel and several licensed channels where a slot is divided into contention phase and transmission phase. A slot is divided into reporting phase, contention phase and transmission phase. The reporting phase plays a role of finding idle channels unused by PUs and the contention phase plays a role of selecting a SU who will send packets in the data transmission phase. One SU is selected by carrier sense multiple access / collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) with request to send / clear to send (RTS/CTS) mechanism on control channel and the SU is allowed to occupy all remaining part of all idle channels during the current slot. For mathematical analysis, first we deal with the single-channel case and we model the proposed OSA media access control (MAC) protocol by three-dimensional discrete time Markov chain (DTMC) whose one-step transition probability matrix has a special structure so as to apply the censored Markov chain method to obtain the steady state distribution.We obtain the throughput and the distribution of access delay. Next we deal with the multi-channel case and obtain the throughput and the distribution of access delay by using results of single-channel case. In numerical results, our mathematical analysis is verified by simulations and we give numerical results on throughput and access delay of the proposed MAC protocol. Finally, we find the maximum allowable number of SUs satisfying the requirements on throughput and access delay.

Sensor networks have emerged as an interesting and important research area in the last few years. These networks require that time be synchronized more precisely than in traditional Internet applications. In this paper, we compared and analyzed the performance of the RBS and TDP mechanisms in the view of the number of generated messages and the synchronization accuracy. The reason that we chose be RBS ad the TDP mechanism to be compared is because the RES is an innovative method to achieve the high accurate synchronization. And TDP is a new method taking over the NTP method which has been used widely in the Internet. We simulated the performance of two methods assuming the IEEE 802.11 CSMA/CA MAC. As for the number of nodes in the sensor networks, two situations of 25 (for the small size network) and 100 (for the large size network) nodes are used. In the aspect of the number of messages generated for the synchronization, TDP is far better than RBS. But, the synchronization accuracy of RBS is far higher than that of TDP. We cm conclude that in a small size sensor networks requiring very high accuracy, such as an application of very high speed objects tracking in a confined space, the RBS is more proper than TDP even though the RBS may generate more traffic than TDP. But, in a wide range sensor networks with a large number of nodes, TDP is more realistic though the accuracy is somewhat worse than RBS because RBS may make so many synchronization messages, and then consume more energies at each node. So, two mechanisms may be used selectively according to the required environments, without saying that the one method is always better than the other.

For strengthening the national defense, the function of tactical network is essential. tactics and strategies in wartime situations are based on numerous information. Therefore, various reconnaissance devices and resources are used to collect a huge amount of information, and they transmit the information through tactical networks. In tactical networks that which use contention based channel access scheme, high-speed nodes such as recon aircraft may have performance degradation problems due to unnecessary channel occupation. In this paper, we propose a learning-backoff method, which empirically learns the size of the contention window to determine channel access time. The proposed method shows that the network throughput can be increased up to 25% as the number of high-speed mobility nodes are increases.

본 논문에서는 광대역 통신 방송 융합 서비스 제공을 고려한 WDM 메트로 링 망을 위한 매체 접근 제어(Medium Access Control; MAC) 프로토콜의 성능을 분석한다. 현재 인터넷은 통신 방송 융합 망으로 진화하고 있으며 다양한 트래픽 특성을 갖는 서비스가 액세스 망에서 메트로 망으로 유입되고 있다. 그러나 기존 메트로 망의 MAC 프로토콜은 이러한 망 환경 변화를 고려하지 않고 단순하고 동일한 트래픽만을 고려하여 성능을 분석하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 메트로 링에 연결된 액세스 노드의 입력 트래픽을 Self-Similar와 Poisson 트래픽으로 분류하여 기존 MAC 프로토콜의 성능을 분석하고 평가한다. 메트로 링 망에 연결된 액세스 노드는 이 두 종류의 트래픽 중에서 하나를 망에 유입하며 채널을 공유하는 노드 수에 따라서 다양한 트래픽 환경이 고려된다. WDM 메트로 링망의 기본 MAC 프로토콜은 CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance)이며, 패킷을 빈 슬롯에 전송하고 송신지에서 패킷을 제거하는 SS (Source-Stripping) 기반으로 운용된다. 본 논문에서는 SS 방식으로 생성된 빈 슬롯을 바로 패킷 전송에 이용하는 방식과 그렇지 않은 방식을 각각 1-Persistent와 non-Persistent로 분류하고 MAC 프로토콜을 분석하여 기존 방식의 장 단점을 비교한다. 또한 전송 공정성과 처리율을 같이 고려하여 적용할 수 있는 확률 기반 p-Persistent MAC 프로토콜도 분석하였으며 시뮬레이션을 통하여 각 프로토콜을 노드 처리율, 전송 지연, 패킷 손실률, 전송 공정성 관점에서 비교하고 평가한다.y 수행을 여러 서버로 분산처리하게 함으로써 성능에 대한 신뢰성을 향상 시킬 수 있는 Load Balancing System을 제안한다.할 때 가장 효과적인 라우팅 프로토콜이라고 할 수 있다.iRNA 상의 의존관계를 분석할 수 있었다.수안보 등 지역에서 나타난다 이러한 이상대 주변에는 대개 온천이 발달되어 있었거나 새로 개발되어 있는 곳이다. 온천에 이용하고 있는 시추공의 자료는 배제하였으나 온천이응으로 직접적으로 영향을 받지 않은 시추공의 자료는 사용하였다 이러한 온천 주변 지역이라 하더라도 실제는 온천의 pumping 으로 인한 대류현상으로 주변 일대의 온도를 올려놓았기 때문에 비교적 높은 지열류량 값을 보인다. 한편 한반도 남동부 일대는 이번 추가된 자료에 의해 새로운 지열류량 분포 변화가 나타났다 강원 북부 오색온천지역 부근에서 높은 지열류량 분포를 보이며 또한 우리나라 대단층 중의 하나인 양산단층과 같은 방향으로 발달한 밀양단층, 모량단층, 동래단층 등 주변부로 NNE-SSW 방향의 지열류량 이상대가 발달한다. 이것으로 볼 때 지열류량은 지질구조와 무관하지 않음을 파악할 수 있다. 특히 이러한 단층대 주변은 지열수의 순환이 깊은 심도까지 가능하므로 이러한 대류현상으로 지표부근까지 높은 지온 전달이 되어 나타나는 것으로 판단된다.의 안정된 방사성표지효율을 보였다. $^{99m}Tc$-transferrin을 이용한 감염영상을 성공적으로 얻을 수 있었으며, $^{67}Ga$-citrate 영상과 비교하여 더 빠른 시간 안에 우수한 영상을 얻을 수 있었다. 그러므로 $^{99m}Tc$-transierrin이 감염 병소의 영상진단에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된
