We develop a low complexity cooperative diversity protocol for low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy (LEACH) based wireless sensor networks. A cross layer approach is used to obtain spatial diversity in the physical layer. In this paper, a simple modification in clustering algorithm of the LEACH protocol is proposed to exploit virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) based user cooperation. In lieu of selecting a single cluster-head at network layer, we proposed M cluster-heads in each cluster to obtain a diversity order of M in long distance communication. Due to the broadcast nature of wireless transmission, cluster-heads are able to receive data from sensor nodes at the same time. This fact ensures the synchronization required to implement a virtual MIMO based space time block code (STBC) in cluster-head to sink node transmission. An analytical method to evaluate the energy consumption based on BER curve is presented. Analysis and simulation results show that proposed cooperative LEACH protocol can save a huge amount of energy over LEACH protocol with same data rate, bit error rate, delay and bandwidth requirements. Moreover, this proposal can achieve higher order diversity with improved spectral efficiency compared to other virtual MIMO based protocols.

한 노드에서 다수의 노드로 데이터를 전달하는 one-hop 통신에 사용되는 매체접속제어(MAC)는 멀티캐스트 기반의 데이터 통신을 사용하는 것이 매우 효율적이다. 유니캐스트와 달리 멀티캐스트에서는 모든 노드들과의 통신에서 우수한 품질을 얻기 위해서는 여러 노드들과의 서로 다른 무선 채널환경과 노드 이동성에 따른 무전 채널환경 변화에 대응할 수 있어야 한다. 하지만, IEEE 802.11에서는 다수개의 노드들과 RTS, CTS, ACK을 교환하는 방법이 정의되어 있지 않아서 신뢰성 있는 멀티캐스트를 지원하지 않고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 몇 가지 MAC 계층 프로토콜들이 제안되었다. 하지만, 신뢰성 있는 멀티 캐스트를 구현하기 위해서는 추가적인 오버헤드가 필요하며, 이 오버헤드로 인해서 시스템 성능이 저하하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 OFDMA 시스템에서 신뢰성 있는 멀티 캐스트를 구현하기 위해 필요한 오버헤드를 줄이기 위하여 계층통합적 (cross-layer) 설계기법을 제안한다. 제안된 오버헤드와 시스템 성능간의 관계를 분석하는 방법도 제안한다.

화학분석 설계의 한 사례로서 디지털 기록매체 중 하나인 CD-R (Compact Disc Recordable) 기록층의 단면구조와 기록층의 주요성분인 염료의 구성성분 및 화학구조를 분석하기 위해 분석계획을 수립하고 분석을 수행하는 전 과정을 기술하였다. 미지시료의 화학분석은 많은 경험과 지식을 요하는 복잡한 과정이기 때문에 학생들이 화학분석을 위한 설계 절차를 수립하고 분석방법의 선택이나 자료해석 등에 어려움을 겪고 있어 이해를 돕기 위한 사례로서 CD-R 개발단계에서 실제로 수행했던 한 제품분석의 전 과정을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 SEM을 사용하여 CD-R의 substrate (기판) 및 기록층 (Dye 층)의 단면적 구조를 확인하였다, 기록층인 염료는 적절한 용매를 이용하여 용해 수집한 후 TLC (얇은 막 크로마토그래피)를 이용해 성분별로 분리하였다. 분리된 각 성분을 UV-Vis 흡수분광법으로 흡광도를 측정하여 정량하였고, GC-MS와 NMR을 이용해 각 성분의 화학구조를 분석하고 질량분석법을 통해 최종적으로 질량을 확인하였다.

이 논문에서는 아스팔트 도로 설계에 필요한 기층골재 재료의 비선형 이방성을 고려한 연결함수를 개발하였다. 기층이 비선형 이방성 거동으로 해석되어졌을 경우, 선형 등방성 거동으로 해석되어질 때 나타나는 기층 하부내의 인장력을 감소시켜 보다 현실적인 응력분포를 보이게 된다. 그러나 현재까지 개발된 연결함수들은 대부분 기층이 선형 등방성 거동으로 해석하여 개발된 것이므로, 비선형 이방성 거동을 근간으로 하는 연결함수의 개발이 현실적인 도로 설계를 위해 필요하다. 이 논문에서 개발된 연결함수를 이용하여 도로를 설계한 결과 AASHTO의 연결함수를 이용하여 설계했을 경우보다, 기층 두께가 25mm 감소되는 결과를 보였으며, 이는 AASHTO 도로 설계가 보수적인 설계라는 것을 입증하였다.

In recent years, the wireless mesh network (WMN) has been an emerging technology to provide Internet access to fixed and mobile wireless devices. The main goal of this paper is the design and simulation of a new MAC protocol based on the multi-path routing information for wireless mesh networks. The information about multiple paths discovered in the network layer is exploited by the MAC layer in order to forward a frame over the best hop out of multiple hop choices. The performance of our approach is compared with conventional 802.11 MAC through the simulation. The results show that our scheme exhibits a significantly better performance rather than conventional 802.11 MAC protocol in terms of packet overhead, end-to-end throughput and delay.

Numerical investigations were performed with an external-compression inlet with a three-dimensional bump at Mach 2 to scrutinize the geometrical effects of the bump in controlling the interaction of a shock wave with a boundary layer. The inlet was designed for two oblique shock waves and a terminal normal shock wave followed by a subsonic diffuser, with a circular cross-section throughout. The bump-type inlet that replaced the aft ramp of the conventional ramp-type inlet was optimized with respect to the inlet performance parameters as well as compared with the conventional ramp-type inlet. The current numerical simulations showed that a bump-type inlet can provide an improvement in the total pressure recovery downstream of the shock wave/boundary layer interaction over a conventional ramp-type inlet.

An optimal design method for a spoke double-layer cable-net structure (SDLC) is proposed in this study. Simplified calculation models of the SDLC are put forward to reveal the static responses under vertical loads and wind loads. Next, based on an energy principle, the relationship among the initial prestress level, cross-sectional areas of the components, rise height, sag height, overall displacement, and relative deformation is proposed. Moreover, a calculation model of the Foshan Center SDLC is built and optimized. Given the limited loading cases, material properties of the components, and variation ranges of the rise height and sag height, the self-weight and initial prestress level of the entire structure can be obtained. Because the self-weight of the cables decreases with increasing of the rise height and sag height, while the self-weight of the inner strut increases, the total weight of the entire structure successively exhibits a sharp reduction, a gradual decrease, a slow increase, and a sharp increase during the optimization process. For the simplified model, the optimal design corresponds to the combination of rise height and sag height that results in an appropriate prestress level of the entire structure with the minimum total weight.

It is well known that two-dimensional simplified third-order theories satisfy the layer interface continuity of transverse shear strains, thus these theories violate the continuity of transverse shear stresses when two consecutive layers differ either in fibre orientation or material. The third-order theories considered herein involve four/or five dependent unknowns in the displacement field and satisfy the condition of vanishing of transverse shear stresses at the bounding planes of the plate. The objective of this investigation is to examine (i) the flexural response prediction accuracy of these third-order theories compared to exact elasticity solution (ii) the effect of layer interface continuity conditions on the flexural response. To investigate the effect of layer interface continuity conditions, three-dimensional elasticity solutions are developed by enforcing the continuity of different combinations of transverse stresses and/or strains at the layer interfaces. Three dimensional twenty node solid finite element (having three translational displacements as degrees of freedom) without the imposition of any of the conditions on the transverse stresses and strains is also employed for the flexural analysis of the laminated plates for the purposes of comparison with the above theories. These shear deformation theories and elasticity approaches in terms of accuracy, adequacy and applicability are examined through extensive numerical examples.

The principles on which the Internet was designed and has evolved were first laid out in an explicit way 20 years age. The basic principle is that in layered communications network such as the Internet, functions should always be implemented at the end systems whenever the option exists. This applies to all functions that can be implemented either in the network or at the end systems. End-to-end arguments have recently been reexamined as the Internet and its uses have evolved, and a new set of requirements has begun to emerge. In addition to these, it add a new, and perhaps more important, requirement to this list in the case of heterogeneous networks: the proliferation of unpredictable wireless networks. Wireless networks must cope with dynamic link conditions not present in wired infrastructures, which place a heavy burden on quality of service management solutions. Managing QoS in the face of constantly changing operating conditions demands dynamic management approaches that span multiple layers in the protocol stack. Such as cross-layer design approaches have recently received attention in the context of cellular and mobile special networks. This article introduce the notion of network predictability and describe its relationship to achievable QoS. This relationship is used to propose a framework for cross layer design that can be used to guide development efforts and direct investment decisions for future networks.
