This paper proposes a method for selecting the capacitance of DC-link capacitors of inverters. In general, the DC-link capacitance of the inverter system must be considered for DC-link voltage, ripple current, switching frequency, ripple voltage, and pulse-width modulation techniques. Therefore, the appropriate capacitance can be determined by finding the rms and peak values of the ripple current of the capacitor. In this paper, the process of extracting the ripple current of DC-link capacitor is described in detail. In addition, the simple method for finding DC-link capacitor capacitance using the result value is presented through the simulations.

The link-fault recovery in the normal Ethernet bridged networks has relied on the Spanning Tree Protocol(STP) or Rapid STP. However, STP can not offer fast error recovery which is needed real-time services such as aircraft. In this paper, we compare automatic protection switching(APS) providing fault-tolerant function in the BcN back bone system with Avionic Full Duplex Switched Ethernet(AFDX) which is recently equipped in the A380 for Airbone Databuses. Also, we propose a link-bypass scheme for improving fault-tolerant performance of the AFDX by connecting switches and bypass fault section when a fault is originated on the link. For comparing and verifying the performance of proposed scheme, we simulated Ethernet, AFDX, APS and proposed AFDX with link-bypass scheme using NS-2. The proposed AFDX with link-bypass scheme can be applied to aircrafts, BcN backbone networks and industrial automatic networks.

A high speed serial link transmitter using multi-level signaling is proposed. To achieve high data rate m high speed serial link, 4-pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) is used. By transmitting 2 bit data in each symbol time, high speed data transmission, two times than binary signaling, is achieved. The transmitter transmits current-mode output instead of voltage-mode output Current-mode output is much faster than voltage-mode output, so higher data transmission is available by increasing switching speed of driver. $2^5-1$ pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) generator is contained to perform built-in self test (BIST). The 4-PAM transmitter is designed in Dongbu HiTek $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology and achieves 8 Gb/s, 160 mV of eye height with 1.8 V supply voltage. The transmitter consumes only 98 mW for 8 Gb/s transmission.

In this paper, we have proposed a Parallel Resonant Soft Switching Inverter based on Delta-Modulation Method. The conventional full-bridge inverter generates switching losses due to the hard switching. The proposed inverter operates soft switching using a DC-link switch and resonant circuit. So, all of the switches in the proposed inverter operates soft switching. Therefore the proposed inverter can reduce not only switching loss but also capacity and size of passive devices due to the resonant elements. The validity of the proposed inverter is verified thorough the theoretical analysis and simulation.

An LC filter is required to reduce the output current ripple in the auxiliary resonant snubber inverter (ARSI) for high-performance applications. However, if the traditional control method is used in the ARSI with LC filter, then unnecessary current flows in the auxiliary circuit. In addressing this problem, a novel load-adaptive control that fully uses the filter inductor current ripple to realize the soft-switching of the main switches is proposed. Compared with the traditional control implemented in the ARSI with LC filter, the proposed control can reduce the required auxiliary current, contributing to higher efficiency and DC-link voltage utilization. In this study, the detailed circuit operation in the light load mode (LLM) and the heavy load mode (HLM) considering the inductor current ripple is described. The characteristics of the improved ARSI are expressed mathematically. A prototype with 200 kHz switching frequency, 80 V DC voltage, and 8 A maximum output current was developed to verify the effectiveness of the improved ARSI. The proposed ARSI was found to successfully operate in the LLM and HLM, achieving zero-voltage switching (ZVS) of the main switches and zero-current switching (ZCS) of the auxiliary switches from zero load to full load. The DC-link voltage utilization of the proposed control is 0.758, which is 0.022 higher than that of the traditional control. The peak efficiency is 91.75% at 8 A output current for the proposed control, higher than 89.73% for the traditional control. Meanwhile, the carrier harmonics is reduced from -44 dB to -66 dB through the addition of the LC filter.

This paper proposes a voltage compensation method to improve the control performance of B4 inverter which is studied for low-cost drive systems. The B4 inverter employs only four switches and it has a center-tapped connection in the split dc-link capacitors to one phase of a three-phase motor. In the B4 topology unbalan-cd three-phase voltages will be generated by the dc link voltage ripple. To solve this problem we present a voltage compensation method which adjusts switching times considering dc link voltage ripple. The proposed method is verified by simulation results,

In this paper, we derive forward link Erlang capacity reflecting both outage probability and blocking probability of each traffic type in mixed traffics environment. We firstly determine the number of available virtual trunks of the forward link from a circuit switching perspective. Then, capacity sharing model and generalized Erlang model are employed to derive joint Erlang capacity of various traffics types.

Network virtualization has been regarded as a core attribute of the Future Internet. In a network virtualization environment (NVE), multiple heterogeneous virtual networks can coexist on a shared substrate network. Thus, a substrate network failure may affect multiple virtual networks. In this case, it is increasingly critical to provide survivability for the virtual networks against the substrate network failures. Previous research focused on mechanisms that ensure the resilience of the virtual network. However, the resource efficiency is still important to make the mapping scheme practical. In this paper, we study the survivable virtual network embedding mechanisms against substrate link and node failure from the perspective of improving the resource efficiency. For substrate link survivability, we propose a load-balancing and re-configuration strategy to improve the acceptance ratio and bandwidth utilization ratio. For substrate node survivability, we develop a minimum cost heuristic based on a divided network model and a backup resource cost model, which can both satisfy the location constraints of virtual node and increase the sharing degree of the backup resources. Simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the solutions. The proposed load balancing and re-configuration strategy for substrate link survivability outperforms other approaches in terms of acceptance ratio and bandwidth utilization ratio. And the proposed minimum cost heuristic for substrate node survivability gets a good performance in term of acceptance ratio.

In mobile communication systems, there are areas where signal coverage is not adequately accomplished by base stations. These areas may be underground parking zones, underground stores, tunnels, and insides of buildings, etc. In these areas, repeaters are broadly used as an economical solution. However, the capacity is decreased as the number of repeaters increases because the noise power that flows to a base station in the reverse link is proportional to the number of repeaters. The reduction of capacity in the reverse link is no longer negligible in the case that several tens or hundreds repeaters are connected to a base station. In this paper, we propose c repeater that is switched off automatically when there is no active user within its coverage. With the switching repeater, we can reduce the unnecessary noise level enhancement when there is no active user within the repeaters coverage. The reverse link capacity of a DS/CDMA system with AOS repeater is analyzed mathematically and compared with that without switching repeater. From the numerical results, noticeable improvement with the switching repeaters is shown.
