As wireless networks evolve to orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA) systems, inter-cell interference control becomes a critical issue in radio resource management. The allocation of the same channels in neighbor cells cause inter-cell interference, so the channel allocation needs to be taken carefully to lower the inter-cell interference. In distributed channel allocation, each cell independently tries to allocate channels that suffer low interference level. In this paper, under the assumption of static users, we introduce the concept of interference range and use it in designing our two algorithms; basic and combined. The basic algorithm performs interference range detection and determines whether to use the considered channel, while the combined algorithm checks the channel quality in addition to detecting the interference range. The two algorithms dynamically perform channel allocation with low complexity and show good throughput and fairness performance.

This paper proposes a transmission probability control scheme and MAC protocol for packet data services in slotted CDMA system. In slotted CDMA system, multiple access interference is the major factor of unsuccessful packet transmissions. Therefore, in order to obtain the optimal system throughput, the number of simultaneously transmitted packets should be kept at a proper level. In the proposed protocol, the base station calculates the packet transmission probability of mobile stations according to the offered load and then broadcasts it. Mobile stations, which have a packet, attempt to transmit packet with the received probability. Numerical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed scheme can offer better system throughput than the conventional one, and guarantee a good fairness among all mobile stations regardless of the offered load.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to validate the Moral Intelligence Checklist(MIC) of Borba (2001) modified by Kim et al. (2010) for college students majoring in health. Methods: The MIC survey was performed with 348 college students in Gongju, Chungnam. Initial MIC modified by Kim et al. (2010) consists of 7 factors (empathy, self-control, conscience, kindness, fairness, respect and tolerance) and 42 items. Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis. Results: We finally analyzed with 37 items, because 5 items with estimates level below 0.5 were deleted. The Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ of 7 factors were ranged from .780 to .851. Finally, the model fit of GFI(.805), CFI(.864), RMSEA(.033) was satisfied with confirmatory factor analysis using structural equation model. Conclusion: This MIC model is suggested to be used in development of moral intelligence educational programs.

This article primarily concerns the various aspects of the rules to control express terms particularly in standard form which seek to absolve either wholly or in part from the seller's liability for non-conforming goods. It describes and analyzes in detail how English law regulates such terms. In this analysis, it places the following questions; first, whether each jurisdiction treats the seller's liability for non-conformity in quality and quantity as mandatory rules, second, if it does, to what extent it is treated so and third, if not, in what way it controls the seller's attempt to exclude or restrict his liability for non-conformity in quality and quantity. In addition, it attempts to compare the rules under English law with those under Korean law and to evaluate them in light of the discipline of comparative law. In an attempt to evaluate them, it asks the question of whether a solution from one jurisdiction may facilitate the systematic development and reform of another jurisdiction. The evaluation is based upon the idea that the problems of fairness associated with the use of standard terms occur where the customer is unfairly taken by surprise due to his ignorance of the terms, or where even if he knows of the substance of the terms and objects to it, he is met with a take-it-or-leave-it situation.

In this paper, we propose a enhanced ERICA switch algorithm using the buffer management scheme which can reduce the queue length, support the efficiency link utilization and the fair share. It has three different buffer thresholds which are low threshold, congestion notification threshold and high threshold. According to the each buffer threshold status, switch announced congestion notification to the source differently. So, sources could know the congestion more quickly and fast remover from network congestion. As a experimental results, it is proved that proposed algorithm is the more efficient than ERICA. Especially, proposed switch algorithm provides congestion control mechanism to make the best use of with keeping fairness and reduce queue length.

Due to the prevalence of powerful mobile terminals and the rapid advancements in wireless communication technologies, the wireless video streaming service has become increasingly more popular. Recent studies show that video streaming services via Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) are becoming more practical. TCP has more advantages than User Diagram Protocol (UDP), including firewall traversal, bandwidth fairness, and reliability. However, each video service shares an equal portion of the limited bandwidth because of the fair sharing characteristics inherent in TCP and this bandwidth fair sharing cannot always guarantee the video quality for each user. To solve this challenging problem, an Adaptive Multiple TCP (AM-TCP) scheme is proposed in this paper to guarantee the video quality for mobile devices in wireless networks. AM-TCP adaptively controls the number of TCP connections according to the video Rate Distortion (RD) characteristics of each stream and network status. The proposed scheme can minimize the total distortion of all participating video streams and maximize the service quality by guaranteeing the quality of each video streaming session. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can significantly improve the quality of video streaming in wireless networks.

In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm to improve the performance of IEEE 802.16 based wireless mesh networks using directional antenna. The performance is presented in terms of throughput of system and delay between each node by varying number of users. The result show that proposed scheduling algorithm improving the performance by reducing the delay of mesh network system. Our work may be useful as a guideline to control the fairness between SSs for multi-hop systems such as multi-hop relay and mesh networks.

In order to resolve coverage hole problems caused by indoor-BS (IBS) faults, we propose a new frame structure and practical algorithm based on optimization technique. Our main contributions can be described as follows: 1) a frame structure with healing channels for solving abnormal IBS faults; and 2) an efficient heuristic resource allocation algorithm with fixed IBS selection to reduce the complexity for the optimization problem. Through intensive simulations, we evaluate the performance excellency of our proposed algorithm with respect to average cell capacity and user fairness compared with conventional algorithms.

This paper proposes an access control algorithm for guaranteeing fair packet transmissions in CDMA-based slotted ALOHA systems. In the proposed algorithm, the base station calculates the packet transmission and retransmission probabilities based on the offered loads and then broadcasts these probabilities to all mobile stations. Mobile stations, which have a packet to transmit, attempt to transmit a packet with the received probabilities. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can offer better system throughput and average delay than the conventional algorithm. Results also show that the proposed algorithm can guarantee a good fairness among all mobile stations regardless of the offered loads.

Wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices. And It can be expected to be deployed in an ad hoc networs. MAC is different from traditional wireless MACs such as IEEE 802.11 in almost every way. so self-configuration and power saving in sensor network are very important goals, while per-node fairness and latency are less important. In this paper, so we use a given prototype for efficient energy conservation to reduce power consumtion that is one of the important character in sensor network and compare energy consumption and collision with IEEE 802.11 MAC. finally we conclude the paper and analyze it.
