This paper investigates several existing techniques to reduce high-availability seamless redundancy (HSR) traffic. HSR is a redundancy protocol for Ethernet networks that provides duplicated frames for separate physical paths with zero recovery time. This feature makes it very useful for real-time and mission-critical applications, such as military applications and substation automation systems. However, the major drawback of HSR is that it generates too much unnecessary redundant traffic in HSR networks. This drawback degrades network performance and may cause congestion and delay. Several HSR traffic reduction techniques have been proposed to reduce the redundant traffic in HSR networks, resulting in the improvement of network performance. In this paper, we provide an overview of these HSR traffic reduction techniques in the literature. The operational principles, advantages, and disadvantages of these techniques are investigated and summarized. We also provide a traffic performance comparison of these HSR traffic reduction techniques.

The high-availability seamless redundancy (HSR) protocol is one of the most important redundancy IEC standards that has garnered a great deal of attention because it offers a redundancy with zero recovery time, which is a feature that is required by most of the modern substation, smart grid, and industrial field applications. However, the HSR protocol consumes a lot of network bandwidth compared to the Ethernet standard. This is due to the duplication process for every sent frame in the HSR networks. In this paper, a novel algorithm known as the reducing multicast traffic (RMT) is presented to reduce the unnecessary redundant multicast traffic in HSR networks by limiting the spreading of the multicast traffic to only the rings that have members associated with that traffic instead of spreading the traffic into all the network parts, as occurs in the standard HSR protocol. The mathematical and the simulation analyses show that the RMT algorithm offers a traffic reduction percentage with a range of about 60-87% compared to the standard HSR protocol. Consequently, the RMT algorithm will increase the network performance by freeing more bandwidth so as to reduce HSR network congestion and also to minimize any intervention from the network administrator that would be required when using traditional traffic filtering techniques.

Objectives: We analyzed the importance and performance of hospital social responsibility (HSR) according to the characteristics of hospitals, and presented strategies for HSR activities. Methods: An online HSR questionnaire was sent to hospitals nationwide from October 12 to 26, 2018. The 206 responses received were analyzed in accordance with the IPA to assess the performance and importance of HSR. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the employees and hospitals regarding the importance and performance of HSR activities. In the area of "sustained maintenance", items related to consumer issues such as "compliance with personal information processing policy", "patient confidentiality", "fair information provision", and "system for patient safety and infection prevention" were derived. In the area of "'high priority for improvement", there were three common items between hospitals and general hospitals: "regular donations and support from local communities", "active cooperation with related institutions", and "compliance with process-related laws and regulations". In the area of "low priority", four items were derived: "support for employee participation in community activities", "efforts to hire local residents", "education and cultural programs for local communities", and "transparent support for political activities". In the area of "sublation of excessive efforts", two items of "employee welfare efforts" and "efforts to improve labor relations", were commonly found in hospitals and general hospitals. Conclusions: It is necessary to improve the management efficiency of hospitals by the systematic allocation of manpower and resources through the establishment of four regional strategies based on the results of IPA analysis.

High-availability seamless redundancy (HSR) 은 두 개의 복제된 프레임을 각각의 경로로 전송하여 거의'0'시간에 고장을 복구하는 실시간 고장 허용 프로토콜이다. 그러므로 HSR은 스마트 그리드 통신과 같은 첨단 실시간 네트워크에 사용이 가능하다. 그러나 HSR 프로토콜은 고장 복구를 위해 생성되는 불필요한 트래픽이 목적지 노드가 포함되지 않은 하부 네트워크에도 지속적으로 순환하는 주요 단점이 있으며, 이는 네트워크의 트래픽 성능을 저하시키고, 네트워크의 활용 자원을 감소시키는 원인이 된다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해, 효율적인 두 가지 알고리즘, Quick Removing (QR) 과 Port Locking (PL) 이 발표된 바 있다. 본 논문은 QR과 PL을 결합한 새로운 알고리즘, QRPL의 구현 가능성 및 그 성능을 수학적으로 해석 제시하고 시뮬레이션으로 확인하였다. 그 결과 다수의 하위 ring이 연결된 HSR 네트워크에서 유니캐스트 트래픽을 적용시, 표준 HSR, QR, 또는 PL 알고리즘을 개별로 사용하는 것보다, QRPL 알고리즘을 사용하는 경우 성능이 크게 향상됨을 확인하였다.

High-availability seamless redundancy (HSR) is a redundancy protocol for Ethernet networks that provides two frame copies for each frame sent. Each copy will pass through separate physical paths, pursuing zero fault recovery time. This means that even in the case of a node or a link failure, there is no stoppage of network operations whatsoever. HSR is a potential candidate for the communications of a smart grid, but its main drawback is the unnecessary traffic created due to the duplicated copies of each sent frame, which are generated and circulated inside the network. This downside will degrade network performance and might cause network congestion or even stoppage. In this paper, we present two approaches to solve the above-mentioned problem. The first approach is called quick removing (QR), and is suited to ring or connected ring topologies. The idea is to remove the duplicated frame copies from the network when all the nodes have received one copy of the sent frame and begin to receive the second copy. Therefore, the forwarding of those frame copies until they reach the source node, as occurs in standard HSR, is not needed in QR. Our example shows a traffic reduction of 37.5%compared to the standard HSR protocol. The second approach is called the virtual ring (VRing), which divides any closed-loop HSR network into several VRings. Each VRing will circulate the traffic of a corresponding group of nodes within it. Therefore, the traffic in that group will not affect any of the other network links or nodes, which results in an enhancement of traffic performance. For our sample network, the VRing approach shows a network traffic reduction in the range of 67.7 to 48.4%in a healthy network case and 89.7 to 44.8%in a faulty network case, compared to standard HSR.

In this paper, we present an algorithm called redundant logical paths (RLP) for efficient HSR traffic reduction. It creates redundant logical paths between each HSR node and all the other nodes. Eventually, a logical full-meshed network or paths will be established among all HSR node types, except the Quadbox type, which is used only for interconnection. The logical full-meshed network will be used instead of using the standard HSR protocol that depends on the concepts of the duplication and forwarding of the received frame until it reaches the destination node. The RLP algorithm results in significantly less frame traffic because there is no random forwarding as in the standard HSR protocol. For the sample network in this paper simulation results showed a 61.5-80% reduction in network frame traffic compared to the standard HSR. Our algorithm will avoid latency issues in the network and even network congestion, thus improving network efficiency.

Ethernet 기반 차량 네트워크 구성 시 신뢰성은 요구조건 중 하나이다. 이를 위해 차량 네트워크 구조에 High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) protocol (IEC 62439-3 clause 5)를 사용할 수 있다. HSR 프로토콜은 프레임을 전송할 때 서로 다른 경로에 각각의 복제된 프레임들을 제공한다. 이는 전송 오류로 인해 하나의 경로에서 프레임을 전송받지 못하더라도 목적지 노드는 다른 경로를 통해 적어도 하나의 프레임을 받을 수 있어 네트워크의 고장 발생 시에도 네트워크의 중단이 없음을 의미한다. 고장 발생 시에도 목적지 노드는 Zero-recovery time으로 하나의 프레임을 받을 수 있기 때문에 표준 Ethernet 과는 달리 보낸 프레임의 손실시 네트워크를 재구성하는 시간이 필요 없다. 하지만 HSR 프로토콜은 복제 전송하는 프레임으로 인해 불필요한 트래픽을 발생시키는 단점이 있다. 이에 HSR 프로토콜의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 QR, VRing, RURT, DVP와 같은 방법들이 이미 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 차량 네트워크에 HSR 프로토콜을 적용한 3가지 구조를 제안하였고 여기에 트래픽 향상을 위해 QR, VRing을 적용하였으며 이 구조들의 트래픽 성능을 측정 및 비교하였다. QR과 VRing을 적용할 때 표준 HSR 프로토콜에 비해 48-75%의 트래픽 감소를 보여주었다. 이는 차량에서 신뢰성 향상을 위해 HSR 프로토콜은 Ethernet을 대신하여 사용할 수 있음을 의미한다.

Korean Train Express (KTX) has opened to commercial traffic since 2004 at maximum speed 300km/h, and Korea High-speed Railway (HSR-350x) was developed by Korean government, several institutes, and related companies. HSR-350x is now being investigated its performance and tested at the high speed line. In 2004 December, HSR-350x was run over 350km/h and proved its running performance. In vehicle system, the faster the vehicle runs, the more vibration increases. To improve the riding comfort of high-speed trains, it needs to devise the vibration absorber. In this paper, we propose the installation of the semi-active damper to the power car of HSR 350x and present the specification and the damping characteristics.
