FR과 ATM은 서로 다른 트래픽 파라메타를 사용하기 때문에 연동하기 위해서는 트래픽 파라메타를 서로 변환하는 기능이 필요하다. 변환식 FR과 ATM을 경유하면서 종단 단말간의 서비스 품질이 보장되고 또한 망 자원을 효율적으로 사용할 수 있어야 한다. 변환식에는 여러 조합이 고려된다. 즉 FR/ATM 연동 방식에서는 망 연동과 서비스 연동으로 구분되고, 망 연동에서 다중화 방식에 따라 1-새-1과 N-to-1 방식이 가능하다. 또 FR 트래픽은 ATM에서 CBR, VBR, GFR 등의 ATC로 대응시킬 수 있고, 각 ATC는 CLP에 따른 대역의 조합 구성이 가능하다. ATM 대역 계산에서도 FR 연결의 최대 대역을 AR 또는 CIR+EIR로 사용할 수 있다. 기존 ITU-T 방식은 서비스 연동만으로 제한하였고, ATM Forum 방식은 가능한 방법을 나열함으로써 연동 시스템 간의 기능 차이에 의한 선택이 어렵다. 또한 변환식을 실제로 적용하기 위해서는 기존 방식에서 고찰되지 않은 많은 문제점들이 있다. 따라서 본 고에서는 기존 방식을 고찰하고, 최근의 연구 및 기술 동향을 반영한 변환 방식을 제안하고, 가상 AR 적용과 운용시의 변환식 선택 및 고려할 점 등에 대하여 기술한다.

1990년대 초반 Frame-Relay 망이 출현하면서부터 등장한 VPN 기술은 최근에도 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 VPN을 형성하는 기술들이 매우 다양하고, 그 특성도 달라 실제 이용하는 측면에서는 어떤 기술에 기반한 VPN을 채택해야 하는지에 대한 기준이 분명하지 않다. 이런 기준의 하나로 VPN 기술에 따른 트래픽 부하를 들 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 현존하는 VPN 기술들에 의해 트래픽 부하가 실제 얼마나 부가하는지에 대한 실험 결과를 보인다. SP의 Frame-Relay나 ATM 망과 연동하여 ISP측에 기반통신망 없는 DSL 서비스 등을 가능케 했던 주역인 L2TP, Microsoft측에서 내어놓은 PPTP, MPLS VPN와 같이 최근에 많은 연구가 되고 있는 IP-VPN의 대표적인 예인 IPSec, 그리고 필드에서 실제 많이 구현되고 있는 조합인 IPSec/L2TP 기술에 대해 인터넷이 배제된 망에서 트래픽 부하를 측정하고 분석하였다. 이에 따라 향후 VPN 기술의 효율성 제고에 지침을 제공하고자 한다.

Relay technology is becoming more important for mobile communications and wireless internet of things (IoT) networking because of the extended access network coverage range and reliable quality of service (QoS) it can provide at low power consumption levels. Existing mobile multihop relay (MMR) technology uses fixed-point stationary relay stations (RSs) and a divided time-frame (or frequency-band) to support the relay operation. This approach has limitations when a local fixed-point stationary RS does not exist. In addition, since the time-frame (or frequency-band) channel resources are pre-divided for the relay operation, there is no way to achieve high channel utilization using intelligent opportunistic techniques. In this paper, a different approach is considered, where the use of mobile/IoT devices as RSs is considered. In applications that use mobile/IoT devices as relay systems, due to the very limited battery energy of a mobile/IoT device and unequal channel conditions to and from the RS, both minimum energy consumption and QoS support must be considered simultaneously in the selection and configuration of RSs. Therefore, in this paper, a mobile RS is selected and configured with the objective of minimizing power consumption while satisfying end-to-end data rate and bit error rate (BER) requirements. For the RS, both downlink (DL) to the destination system (DS) (i.e., IoT device or user equipment (UE)) and uplink (UL) to the base station (BS) need to be adaptively configured (using adaptive modulation and power control) to minimize power consumption while satisfying the end-to-end QoS constraints. This paper proposes a minimum transmission power consuming RS selection and configuration (MPRSC) scheme, where the RS uses cognitive radio (CR) sub-channels when communicating with the DS, and therefore the scheme is named MPRSC-CR. The proposed MPRSC-CR scheme is activated when a DS moves out of the BS's QoS supportive coverage range. In this case, data transmissions between the RS and BS use the assigned primary channel that the DS had been using, and data transmissions between the RS and DS use CR sub-channels. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed MPRSC-CR scheme extends the coverage range of the BS and minimizes the power consumption of the RS through optimal selection and configuration of a RS.

A FR-ATM interworking function that has FR and ATM interfaces, should guarantee the QoS of both frame relay and ATM networks. The IWF requires the policing mechanisms for FR and ATM respectively, and needs to map the traffic parameters each other. In this case, traffic parameter mapping and policing function are performed independently. In the aspect of FR traffic policing, this function degrades processor performance if it is worked by software, or includes additional hardware function. The best way to solve this is to integrate this function into ATM function because ATM is performed by well defined hardware already. In this paper we propose the integrated traffic control mechanism. That is, frames are segmented to cells first, and then policing mechanism is applied to the cells to guarantee the FR QoS. Therefore proper policing algorithm is essential to the integrated FR traffic mechanism. The evaluations are done with simulations in comparison of existing FR algorithms, ATM VBR and GFR policing algorithms, and the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we investigate the throughput capacity of a multi-hop relay with cognitive radio (CR) enabled relay stations (RS). We suggest a TDMA/FDMA based frame structure where RSs dynamically select unused channels to communicate with the base station (BS) using CR techniques to analyze the throughput capacity. We develop the throughput capacity model for the proposed system based on utilization factor. The analytical results based on those equations show significant improvement in throughput capacity for CR enabled multi-hop relay system.

Frequency reuse among relay stations (RSs) in a down-link access zone is widely adopted for throughput enhancement in IEEE 802.16j relay networks. Since the areas covered by the RSs or the base station (BS) may overlap, some mobile stations (MSs) at the border between two neighboring transmitting stations (RS or BS) using an identical frequency band may suffer severe interference or outage. This co-channel interference within the cell degrades the quality of service (QoS) fairness among the MSs as well as the system throughput. Exclusive use of a frequency band division (orthogonal resource allocation) among RSs can solve this problem but would cause degradation of the system throughput. We observe a trade-off between system throughput and QoS fairness in the previously reported schemes based on frequency reuse. In this paper, we propose a new frequency reuse scheme that achieves high system throughput with a high fairness level in QoS, positioning our scheme far above the trade-off curve formed by previous schemes. We claim that our scheme is beneficial for applications in which a high QoS level is required even for the MSs at the border. Exploiting the features of a directional antenna in the BS, we create a new zone in the frame structure. In the new zone, the RSs can serve the subordinate MSs at the border and prone to interference. In a 3-RS topology, where the RSs are located at points $120^{\circ}$ apart from one another, the throughput and Jain fairness index are 10.64 Mbps and 0.62, respectively. On the other hand, the throughput for the previously reported overlapped and orthogonal allocation schemes is 8.22 Mbps (fairness: 0.48) and 3.99 Mbps (fairness: 0.80), respectively. For a 6-RS topology, our scheme achieves a throughput of 18.38 Mbps with a fairness of 0.68; however, previous schemes with frequency reuse factors of 1, 2, 3, and 6 achieve a throughput of 15.24 Mbps (fairness: 0.53), 12.42 Mbps (fairness: 0.71),8.84 Mbps (fairness: 0.88), and 4.57 Mbps (fairness: 0.88), respectively.

The low-rate (LR) UWB is a promising technology for the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) due to its extremely low power consumption and simple transceiver implementation. However the limited communication range is a bottleneck for its widespread use. This paper deals with a new frame structure of class 4 active RFID multi-hop relay system based on ISO/IEC 18000-7 standard integrating with IEEE 802.15.4a LR-UWB PHY layer specification, which sets up a connection to USN. As a result of the vital importance of the coverage and throughput in the application of USN, further we analyze the performance of the proposed system considered both impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) and chirp spread spectrum (CSS). Our simulation results show that the coverage and throughput are remarkably increased.

It is known that the progressive edge-growth (PEG) algorithm can be used to construct low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes at finite code lengths with large girths through the establishment of edges between variable and check nodes in an edge-by-edge manner. In [1], the authors derived a class of LDPC codes for relay communication systems by extending the full-diversity root-LDPC code. However, the submatrices of the parity-check matrix H corresponding to this code were constructed separately; thus, the girth of H was not optimized. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a modified PEG algorithm for use in the design of large girth and full-diversity LDPC codes. Simulation results indicated that the LDPC codes constructed using the modified PEG algorithm exhibited a more favorable frame error rate performance than did codes proposed in [1] over block-fading channels.

In this paper, we evaluate the system throughput and the method of optimal wireless resource allocation for the access zone (AZ) and relay zone (RZ) in downlink when the cell coverage is extended using the non-transparent Relay Station (RS) in a 2-hop cellular relay system based on IEEE802.16j, which uses the OFDMA-TDD structure. For the analyses, we first introduce the MAC (Media Access Control) frame structure in the non-transparent mode, then we investigate the interfering elements in both AZ and RZ for the network devices such as the Mobile Station (MS) and RS. Through computer simulation, we analyze the cell coverage extension and system throughput in terms of the distance between Base Station (BS) and RS, then we present the amount of the optimal allocation of wireless resource for the AZ and RZ in downlink using our results.

In this paper, a semi-analytical approach is proposed for DSF(Decode and Selective Forward)-Relay MC-CDMA(MultiCarrier-Code Division Multiple Access) systems over multipath Rayleigh fading channels. Considering BER(bit error rate) performance and complexity, the MMSE-C(Minimum Mean squared Error-per subCarrier) is used as the combining method for MC-CDMA systems. At first, the analytical method based on error-events at relay nodes for DSF-Relay schemes is utilized in order to derive the averaged BER. Then, the averaged BER is expressed as the form considering possible all error-events. Also, proposed semi-analytical expressions have been verified by comparing with simulation results. Finally, it is verified that the derived analytical expressions can be a frame work to cover different multipath Rayleigh fading channel conditions and to measure the upper performance for DSF-Relay MC-CDMA systems.
