Directional MAC protocols have drawn great attentions recently in super high speed wireless local/personal area networks due to their higher antenna gain, better spatial reuse, longer transmission range, and lower interference. Despite of these merits, directional MAC protocols suffer from deafness problem. The deafness problem occurs if a node does not answer an RTS frame addressed to it. To overcome this problem, directional MAC protocols have aimed at avoiding the deafness problem using multiple control frames or advance notice techniques or distinguishing deafness from collision. In this paper, we analyze the performance of these schemes in deafness environments with some scenarios. Through performance analysis, we compare the performance of these schemes through evaluating actual network throughput.

In this paper, we extracted design parameters for re-entrant mode microstrip directional coupler using FE(finite element) calculations. The microstrip directional coupler suffers from a poor directivity due to effect of the inhomogeneous dielectric including both dielectric substrate and air in microstrip transmission lines. Thus, the phase velocity of even mode is not equal to that of odd mode. In order to improve the directivity of microstrip directional coupler, a novel re-entrant mode microstrip directional coupler was employed. In microstrip configuration, the high directivity can be reached by matching the even- and odd-mode effective phase velocities. Through the values of capacitance obtained from 2-dimensional FE calculations, the phase velocities for each mode and the design parameter were extracted for the proposed parallel coupled-line configuration. Based on the extracted design parameter with phase matching condition, we designed and fabricated a 30dB directional coupler at 0.85GHz. Experimental results show good performance with excellent, isolation and directivity.

Directional breaking waves are generated by the component wave focusing both in direction and frequency based on constant wave steepness and constant wave amplitude spectrum models. The generated breaking waves are classified in the incipient, single and multi breaking waves. The characteristics of directional breaking waves are investigated in terms of surface profile parameters of wave crest steepness and asymmetry. The evolution of breaking wave characteristics is analyzed in a view of focusing efficiency. It shows that the front steepness and vertical asymmetry play an important role in breaking process, while the crest rear steepness and horizontal asymmetry are nearly constant during the process. The superposition of directional components greatly enhances the focusing efficiency and it suggests that characteristics of directional breaking waves may significantly different from uni-directional ones.

In order to recognize the facial expressions, good features that can express the facial expressions are essential. It is also essential to find the characteristic areas where facial expressions appear discriminatively. In this study, we propose a directional LBP feature for facial expression recognition and a method of finding directional LBP operation and feature region for facial expression classification. The proposed directional LBP features to characterize facial fine micro-patterns are defined by LBP operation factors (direction and size of operation mask) and feature regions through AdaBoost learning. The facial expression classifier is implemented as a SVM classifier based on learned discriminant region and directional LBP operation factors. In order to verify the validity of the proposed method, facial expression recognition performance was measured in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. Experimental results show that the proposed directional LBP and its learning method are useful for facial expression recognition.

In this article, the buckling and free vibration of multi-directional FGM sandwich plates are investigated. The material properties of FGM sandwich plates are assumed to be varying continuously in the in the longitudinal, transverse and thickness directions. The material properties are evaluated based on Voigt's micro-mechanical model considering power law distribution method with arbitrary power index. Equations of motion for the buckling and vibration analysis of multi-directional FGM sandwich plate are obtained based on refined shear deformation theory. Analytical solution for simply supported multidirectional FGM sandwich plate is carried out using Navier's solution technique. The FGM sandwich plate considered in this work has a homogeneous ceramic core and two functionally graded face sheets. Influence of volume fraction index in the longitudinal, transverse and thickness direction, layer thickness, and geometrical parameter over natural frequency and critical buckling load of multi-directional FGM sandwich plate is investigated. The finding shows a multi-directional functionally graded structures perform better compared to uni-directional gradation. Hence, critical grading parameters have been identified which will guide researchers in selecting fabrication routes for improving the performance of such structures.

무선 Ad-hoc 네트워크에서는 주로 IEEE 802.11 MAC 프로토콜을 이용한다. IEEE 802.11 MAC 프로토콜은 제어 메시지인 RTS-CTS를 통해서 채널 예약을 하고 데이터를 전송하는 방식으로 모든 통신에 Omni-directional 안테나를 이용하여 전송한다. 본 논문에서는 기존 IEEE 802.11 MAC 프로토콜보다 성능을 향상시키기 위해서 directional 안테나를 이용한 MAC 프로토콜을 사용한다. Directional 안테나를 사용한 MAC 프로토콜은 IEEE 802.11 MAC 프로토콜에 비해서 Spatial Reuse를 증가함으로서 채널 자원을 더욱 효율적으로 사용하는 것이 가능하다. 또한 Directional 안테나의 사용은 안테나의 지향성에 따른 안테나 이득 및 전송 범위의 증가 그리고 전송 범위를 Omni-directional 안테나와 동일하게 적용할 경우에는 저 전력 통신이 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 Directional 안테나의 사용은 IEEE 802.11 MAC보다 좋은 성능을 갖기는 하지만 새로운 문제들이 발생한다. 이러한 문제들로는 New Hidden Terminal, Deafness, Capture, 그리고 위치 인식에 관련된 문제들이 발생한다. 본 논문에서서 위에서 언급한 Directional 안테나의 이점과 그리고 문제점에 대해서 설명하고, 이러한 문제들 중에 Deafness 문제를 완화시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 QualNet 4.0을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해서 제안된 프로토콜의 성능을 평가한다.

In this paper, we define the directional associated curve and the self-associated curve of a null curve in Minkowski 3-space. We study the properties and relations between the null curve, its directional associated curve and its self-associated curve. At the same time, by solving certain differential equations, we get the explicit representations of some null curves.

A new signal processing technique, the directional harmonic wavelet map(dHWM), is presented to characterize the instantaneous planar motion of a measurement point in a structure from its transient complex-valued vibration signal. It is proven that the directional auto-HWM essentially tracks the shape and directively of the instantaneous planar motion, whereas the phase of the directional cross-HWM indicates its inclination angle. Finally, the technique is suessfully applied to an automobile engine for characterization of its transient motion during crank-on/idling/engine-off.

In this paper, we designed and implemented a 10dB directional coupler with high directivity using branch line structure. The characteristic impedance of parallel branch line for 10 dB directional coupler is about 150 $\Omega$. To realize high characteristic impedance in microstrip line, we used the coupled line structure. The directional coupler were implemental and measured. The measured results show that the directivity is high than 24 dB.

A diagnostic method of anisotropy and asymmetry in rotor systems utilizing the two-sided directional spectra of the operating responses has been presented and tested with a laboratory flexible rotor-bearing system. The experimental results show that the directional spectra can be effectively used for the diagnosis of anisotropy and/or asymmetry in rotor systmes by the investigation of -1X and +2X components in the directional spectrum of unbalance and gravity responses.
