This paper presents a novel 90 GHz band 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system. The system can deliver 6 Gbps through six channels with a bandwidth of 3 GHz. Each channel occupies 500 MHz and delivers 1 Gbps using 16-QAM OFDM. To implement the system, a low-noise amplifier and an RF up/down conversion fourth-harmonically pumped mixer are implemented using a $0.1-{\mu}m$ gallium arsenide pseudomorphic high-electron-mobility transistor process. A polarization-division duplex architecture is used for full-duplex communication. In a digital modem, OFDM with 256-point fast Fourier transform and (255, 239) Reed-Solomon forward error correction codecs are used. The modem can compensate for a carrier-frequency offset of up to 50 ppm and a symbol rate offset of up to 1 ppm. Experiment results show that the system can achieve a bit error rate of $10^{-5}$ at a signal-to-noise ratio of about 19.8 dB.

At the end of 1999, the TeraCluster project in the KISTI Supercomputing Center was initiated to explore the possibility of PC clusters as a scientific computing platform to replace the Cray T3E system in KISTI by the year 2002. In order to understand whether an application is scalable to tera-flops sized cluster system, running test is inevitable. Extensive performance tests using well-known benchmarking codes with real applications' characteristics in them were carried out with different combinations of CPUs, system boards, network devices. The lessen learned shows the relationships between system performances and varied applications' different needs resulting in promises of How-Tos in building large scale cluster system. The 64/16 node clusters with Alpha EV6(466MHz), Pentium III(667 MHz) i inter-node network of Fast Ethernet. SCI[1] and Myrinet[2] were evaluated. More detailed specifications of the Linux clusters are described in Table 1.

Distributed control system architecture is adopted for I&C systems of Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor, where the geographically distributed control systems are connected to centralized servers & display stations via switched Ethernet networks. TCP/IP communication plays a significant role in the successful operations of this architecture. The communication tasks at control nodes are taken care by TCP/IP offload modules; local area switched network is realized using layer-2/3 switches, which are finally connected to network interfaces of centralized servers & display stations. Safety, security, reliability, and fault tolerance of control systems used for safety-related applications of nuclear power plants is ensured by indigenous design and qualification as per guidelines laid down by regulatory authorities. In the case of commercially available components, appropriate suitability analysis is required for getting the operation clearances from regulatory authorities. This paper details the proposed approach for the suitability analysis of TCP/IP communication nodes, including control systems at the field, network switches, and servers/display stations. Development of test platform using commercially available tools and diagnostics software engineered for control nodes/display stations are described. Each TCP link behavior with impaired packets and multiple traffic loads is described, followed by benchmarking of the network switch's routing characteristics and security features.

Mobile IP를 이용한 무선 네트워크 환경은 이더넷 기반의 유선 네트워크와의 연동을 전제로 하여 구축되고 운용된다. 그러나 그동안 Mobile IP와 연동되는 유선네트워크의 대부분은 무선 네트워크의 도입 시 성능에 영향을 주는 중요한 사항들을 고려하지 않고 구축함으로써 운용상 많은 문제점을 가지고 있었다. 본 논문에서는 실제 운용되고 있는 유선 네트워크에 Mobile IP 기반의 무선 네트워크를 구축할 경우 Access Router의 비대칭 연결구조에 의해 발생되는 Hierarchical Mobile IPv6(HMIPv6)의 적용상의 문제점과 이동노드들의 잦은 이동으로 인한 Binding Update 등에 의한 핸드오버 지연시간 문제를 효율적으로 해결할 수 있는 방안을 제시한다. Access Router의 계층적 불일치에서 발생하는 네트워크 지연시간을 가상 라우터 계층을 도입한 HMIPv6 구조를 사용하여 최소화하고, 이동노드의 잦은 이동에 따른 빈번한 CoA등록으로 발생하는 통신오버헤드를 라우터 간 이동정보를 사전에 교환함으로써 줄인다. 본 논문에서 제안한 기법은 HMIPv6와 Fast Handover를 기반으로 하는 현실적이고 효과적인 무선랜 환경의 구축에 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

This paper proposes the architecture and protocol of a data communication network for the safety system in nuclear power plants. First, we establish four design criteria with respect to determinability, reliability, separation and isolation, and verification/validation. Next we construct the architecture of the safety network for the following systems: PPS (Plant Protection System), ESF-CCS (Engineered Safety Features-Component Control System) and CPCS (Core Protection Calculator System). The safety network consists of 12 sub-networks and takes the form of a hierarchical star. Among 163 communication nodes are about 1600 origin-destination (OD) pairs created on their traffic demands. The OD pairs are allowed to exchange data only during the pre-assigned time slots. Finally, the communication protocol is designed in consideration of design factors for the safety network. The design factors include a network topology of star, fiber-optic transmission media, synchronous data transfer mode, point-to-point link configuration, and a periodic transmission schedule etc. The resulting protocol is the modification of IEEE 802.15.4 (LR-WPAN) MAC combined with IEEE 802.3 (Fast Ethernet) PHY. The MAC layer of IEEE 802.15.4 is simplified by eliminating some unnecessary (unctions. Most importantly, the optional TDMA-like scheme called the guaranteed time slot (GTS) is changed to be mandatory to guarantee the periodic data transfer. The proposed protocol is formally specified using the SDL. By performing simulations and validations using Telelogic Tau SDL Suite, we find that the proposed safety protocol fits well with the characteristics and the requirements of the safety system in nuclear power plants.

이 논문에서는 유선망과 무선망간의 끊김없는 연결과 QoS 지원을 위해 Mobile-Assisted 및 Server-Initiated 핸드오버 방법을 이용하는 Low Latency 핸드오버 절차를 제안한다. 주 기능은 서버와 단말로 구성되며, 서버는 네트웍의 상황과 사용자의 선호도들을 고려하여 핸드오버를 위한 최선의 타겟 네트웍을 미리 평가하고 결정하여 두며, 단말은 서버에 의해 결정된 무선망과 링크 연결뿐만 아니라 CoA로 사용할 IP 주소를 미리 받아두는 역할을 수행한다. 이 경우, 만약 유선망에서 예고없이 연결이 해제되는 등의 원인에 의해 핸드오버가 요구되면 서버는 MIH(media independent handover) 방법을 이용하여 물리계층의 핸드오버 트리거를 서버로 전송하고 이를 받은 서버는 직접 게이트웨이로 바인딩 업데이트를 수행함으로써 핸드오버 지연시간을 줄일 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.

In broadband convergence network(BcN), heterogeneous broadband wired & wireless subnetworks and various terminal equipments will be interconnected. In order to provide end-to-end realtime multimedia services on such heterogeneous networking environment, as a result, two major problems should be resolved: i) Multimedia session establishment & negotiation that adjusts the differences in the capability of multimedia data processing at the end terminal nodes, ii) quality of service(QoS)-guaranteed connection establishment or resource reservation with connection admission control(CAC) in each heterogeneous subnetworks along the path. The session layer signaling(e.g., SIP/SDP) should be extended for QoS negotiation, and must be tightly cooperating with network layer signaling or resource reservation with CAC function. In this paper we propose a session and connection management architecture for the QoS-guaranteed realtime multimedia service provisioning on BcN, with Q-SIP/SDP, resource reservation protocol with traffic engineering extension, and CAC functions. The detailed interaction scenario and related algorithms for QoS-guaranteed realtime multimedia session, resource reservation and connection establishment are explained and analyzed. From the experimental implementation of the proposed scheme on a small scale BcN testbed, we verified that the proposed architecture is applicable for the realtime multimedia service provisioning. We analyze the network performance and QoS parameters in detail.

This paper presents an application of the parallel Adaptive Evolutionary Algorithm (AEA) to search an optimal solution of the service restoration in electric power distribution systems, which is a discrete optimization problem. The main objective of service restoration is, when a fault or overload occurs, to restore as much load as possible by transferring the de-energized load in the out of service area via network reconfiguration to the appropriate adjacent feeders at minimum operational cost without violating operating constraints. This problem has many constraints and it is very difficult to find the optimal solution because of its numerous local minima. In this investigation, a parallel AEA was developed for the service restoration of the distribution systems. In parallel AEA, a genetic algorithm (GA) and an evolution strategy (ES) in an adaptive manner are used in order to combine the merits of two different evolutionary algorithms: the global search capability of the GA and the local search capability of the ES. In the reproduction procedure, proportions of the population by GA and ES are adaptively modulated according to the fitness. After AEA operations, the best solutions of AEA processors are transferred to the neighboring processors. For parallel computing, a PC cluster system consisting of 8 PCs was developed. Each PC employs the 2 GHz Pentium IV CPU and is connected with others through switch based fast Ethernet. To show the validity of the proposed method, the developed algorithm has been tested with a practical distribution system in Korea. From the simulation results, the proposed method found the optimal service restoration strategy. The obtained results were the same as that of the explicit exhaustive search method. Also, it is found that the proposed algorithm is efficient and robust for service restoration of distribution systems in terms of solution quality, speedup, efficiency, and computation time.
