This paper focuses on evaluating the performance of a cellular network using power control based frequency reuse partitioning (FRP) in downlink (DL). In our work, in order to have the realistic environment, the spectral efficiency of the system is evaluated through traffic analysis, which most of the previous works did not consider. To further decrease the cell edge user's outage, the concept of power ratio is introduced and applied to the DL FRP based cellular network. In considering network topology, we first divide the cell coverage area into two regions, the inner and outer regions. We then allocate different sub-bands in the inner and outer regions of each cell. In the analysis, for each zone ratio, the performance of FRP system is evaluated for the given number of power ratios. We consider performance metrics such as call blocking probability, channel utilization, outage probability and effective throughput. The simulation results show that there is a significant improvement in the outage experienced by outer UEs with power control scheme compared to that with no power control scheme and an increase in overall system throughput.

본 논문에서는 OFDM 기반 이동 셀룰러 시스템에서 셀간간섭 관리를 위해 간섭 회피 및 제거를 동시에 이용하는 방법을 설명하곡 그 성능을 모의실험을 통해 분석한다. 셀 안쪽 단말과 두 셀 경계 단말에 대해서는 간섭 회피를 이용하고, 세 셀 경계 단말에 대해서는 간섭 제거를 이용하게 된다. 모의실험은 간략화된 시스템 시뮬레이션으로 수행되며, 이를 위해 링크 시뮬레이션 결과가 이용된다. 비교 대상은 간섭 관리를 하지 않은 방식, 간섭 회피만을 적용한 방식, 간섭 회피와 제거를 적용한 방식의 세 가지이며, 주된 비교 수단은 하위 5% 사용자 데이터율과 평균 데이터율이고, 보조적으로 하위 5% 사용자 신호대간섭잡음비를 이용한다. 비교 결과, 간섭 관리 기법을 적용하면 셀 경계 성능이 대폭 개선되며, 대신 평균 데이터율은 소폭 저하된다. 그리고 간섭 회피와 제거를 동시에 이용하면 간섭 회피만 이용한 경우보다 셀 경계 및 평균 데이터율 측면에서 모두 우수해진다.

Recently ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) technology is facing challenges from Integrated Service IP(Internet Protocol), IP router, Gigabit Ethernet. Although ATM is approved by ITU-T as the standard technology in B-ISDN, its survival is still in question. In the ATM networks, the Guaranteed Frame Rate(GFR) service has been designed to accommodate non-real-time applications, such as TCP(Transmission Control Protocol)/IP based traffic. The GFR service not only guarantees a minimum throughput at the frame level, but also supports a fairshare of available resources. We have studied different discarding and scheduling schemes, and compared their throughput and fairness when TCP/IP Traffic is carried. Through simulations, we know that only per-VC queueing with weighted Round Robin(WRR) can guarantee Minimum Cell Rate Among all the Schemes that have been experimented, we recommend DT-EPD(Dynamic Threshold-Early Packet Discard) integrated with MCRplus(Minimum Cell Rate) to support the GFR service.

The use of high throughput screening (HTS) in drug development is principally for the selection new drug candidates or screening of chemical toxicants. This system minimizes the experimental environment and allows for the screening of candidates at the same time. Umbilical cord-derived stem cells have some of the characteristics of fetal stem cell and have several advantages such as the ease with which they can be obtained and lack of ethical issues. To establish a HTS system, optimized conditions that mimic typical cell culture conditions in a minimal space such as 96 well plates are needed for stem cell growth. We have thus established a novel HTS system using human umbilical cord derived-mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs). To determine the optimal cell number, hUC-MSCs were serially diluted and seeded at 750, 500, 200 and 100 cells per well on 96 well plates. The maintenance efficiencies of these dilutions were compared for 3, 7, 9, and 14 days. The fetal bovine serum (FBS) concentration (20, 10, 5 and 1%) and the cell numbers (750, 500 and 200 cells/well) were compared for 3, 5 and 7 days. In addition, we evaluated the optimal conditions for cell cycle block. These four independent optimization experiments were conducted using an MTT assay. In the results, the optimal conditions for a HTS system using hUC-MSCs were determined to be 300 cell/well cultured for 8 days with 1 or 5% FBS. In addition, we demonstrated that the optimal conditions for a cell cycle block in this culture system are 48 hours in the absence of FBS. In addition, we selected four types of novel small molecule candidates using our HTS system which demonstrates the feasibility if using hUC-MSCs for this type of screen. Moreover, the four candidate compounds can be tested for stem cell research application.

Next Generation Beyond 4G/5G systems will rely on the deployment of small cells over conventional macrocells for achieving high spectral efficiency and improved coverage performance, especially for indoor and hotspot environments. In such heterogeneous networks, the expected performance gains can only be derived with the use of efficient interference coordination schemes, such as Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR), which is very attractive for its simplicity and effectiveness. In this work, femtocells are deployed according to a spatial Poisson Point Process (PPP) over hexagonally shaped, 6-sector macro base stations (MeNBs) in an uncoordinated manner, operating in hybrid mode. A newly introduced intermediary region prevents cross-tier, cross-boundary interference and improves user equipment (UE) performance at the boundary of cell center and cell edge. With tools of stochastic geometry, an analytical framework for the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) distribution is developed to evaluate the performance of all UEs in different spatial locations, with consideration to both co-tier and cross-tier interference. Using the SINR distribution framework, average network throughput per tier is derived together with a newly proposed harmonic mean, which ensures fairness in resource allocation amongst all UEs. Finally, the FFR network parameters are optimized for maximizing average network throughput, and the harmonic mean using a fair resource assignment constraint. Numerical results verify the proposed analytical framework, and provide insights into design trade-offs between maximizing throughput and user fairness by appropriately adjusting the spatial partitioning thresholds, the spectrum allocation factor, and the femtocell density.

본 논문에서는 Mobile WiMAX 기반 군전술정보통신네트워크 (TICN)의 성능을 시스템 레벨에서 평가한다. 전시에 정지상태의 기지국 (BS: Base Station)들이 불규칙적으로 분포되어 있는 환경에서 이동 기지국 (BS-OTM)이 투입되었을 때 인접 기지국 및 가입자 (SS: Subscriber Station)가 받는 영향을 분석한다. 이동기지국이 추가적으로 사용되었을 때 서비스를 제공하는 기지국이 변함없는 가입자 관점에서는 간섭이 증가하여 CINR(Carrier To Interference and Noise Ratio)이 감소하고 이동 기지국에 의해 가입자가 두 기지국으로 분산되어 다중사용자 다이버시티가 감소하는 단점이 있음을 밝힌다. 그러나 통신 환경이 열악했던 가입자 주변에서 이동 기지국이 작동하게 되어 새롭게 서비스 받게 되는 가입자들은 큰 CINR 이득을 얻게 되며, 셀 전체적인 수율관점에서는 이동기지국에 의해 성능이 크게 향상된다. 또한, 반송파주파수, 이동기지국의 이동속도 및 위치에 따른 성능을 평가한다.

Small cells are deployed in Heterogeneous Networks (HetNet) to improve overall performance. These access points can provide high-rate mobile services at hotspots to users. In a Small Cell Network (SCN), the good deployment of small cells can guarantee the performance of users on the basis of average and cell edge spectrum efficiency. In this paper, the performance of small cell deployment is analyzed by using system-level simulations. The positions of small cells can be adjusted according to the deployment radius and angle. Moreover, different Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) techniques are also studied, which can be implemented either in time domain or in frequency domain. The network performances are evaluated under different ICIC techniques when the locations of Small evolved Nodes (SeNBs) vary. Simulation results show that the average throughput and cell edge throughput can be greatly improved when small cells are properly deployed with the certain deployment radius and angle. Meanwhile, how to optimally configure the parameters to achieve the potential of the deployment is discussed when applying different ICIC techniques.

In a cellular network, if there are too many data users in a cell, data may suffer long delay, and system's quality-of-service (QoS) will degrade. Some traditional schemes such as dynamic channel-allocation scheme (DCA) will assign more channels to hot (or overloaded) cells through a central control system (CC) and the throughput increase will be upper bounded by the number of new channels assigned to the cell. In mobile-assisted data forwarding (MADF), we add an ad-hoc overlay to the fixed cellular infrastructure and special channels-called forwarding channels- are used to connect mobile units in a hot cell and its surrounding cold cells without going through the hot cell's base station. Thus, mobile units in a hot cell can forward data to other cold cells to achieve load balancing. Most of the forwarding-channel management work in MADF is done by mobile units themselves in order to relieve the load from the CC. The traffic increase in a certain cell will not be upper bounded by the number of forwarding channels. It can be more if the users in hot cell are significantly far away from one another and these users can use the same forwarding channels to forward data to different cold neighboring cells without interference. We find that, in a system using MADF, under a certain delay requirement, the throughput in a certain cell or for the whole net-work can be greatly improved.

본 논문에서는 다중 셀 환경에서 단말 간 직접 통신 (D2D: Device-to-Device)에 적합한 자원 할당 방식을 제안한다. 제안한 방식은 셀 간 간섭을 해결하기 위해 D2D 통신을 위한 자원 그룹을 할당하고, 이러한 자원 정보를 이웃 셀과 공유하는 절차를 수행한다. 또한, 셀 간 간섭을 감소시키기 위해 D2D 통신 링크 간 파워 조절 기법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과에 의하면, 셀 간 협력 자원 할당 방식은 셀룰러 상향링크와 D2D 통신 링크의 평균 SINR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio)을 10 dB 이상 유지시킬 수 있는 반면, 셀 간 비협력 자원 할당 방식은 D2D 통신링크의 평균 SINR이 0 dB 까지 저하되었다. 또한, 제안한 방식은 셀 간 비협력 자원 할당 방식보다 셀 처리율을 8 % 향상시킬 수 있었다.
