Start Ongoing next generation networks are expected to be deployed over current existing networks, in the form of overlayed heterogeneous networks, in particular, in hot spot areas. Therefore, it will be necessary to develop an interworking technique such as load balancing, to achieve increased overall resource utilization in the various heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we present a new load balancing mechanism termed 'soft' load balancing where the IP(Internet Protocol) traffic of a user is divided into sub-traffic, each of which flows into a different access network. The terminology of soft load balancing involves the use of both load sharing and handover techniques. Through a numerical analysis, we obtain an optimal LBR (Load Balancing Ratio) for determining the volume of traffic delivered to each network over an overlayed multi-cell environment. Using the optimal LBR, a more reliable channel transmission can be achieved by reducing the outage probability efficiently for a given user traffic.

Cluster is the cost-effective parallel processing environment, and consists of the off-the-shelf computers connected by the computer net works. The characteristics of cluster are the node heterogeneity, the variety of node load, and the variety of network load. Because these characteristics influence the performance of parallel program executions, the load sharing for cluster is important, and by using the proper load sharing strategy, we can reduce the execution time of parallel programs. In this paper, we propose modified GSS algorithm, αGSS. In the proposed load sharing algorithms α GSS, the size of tasks are decided using the BogoMIPS of node. From the result of out experiments, we conclude that the proposed αGSS algorithm is effective in the heterogeneous cluster.

Planetary gear sets are widely used in power transmission components, which have high efficiency and good durability. Their most important design parameter is the load-sharing characteristics among several planetary gears. In this study, the load sharing of planetary gears was analyzed according to the carrier pinhole position error of planetary gear sets. The loads acting on planetary gears varied with the pinhole position error of the carrier, and the load sharing of planetary gears improved as the input load increased. In addition, the load of the planetary gear with a carrier pinhole position error was relatively higher than that of other planetary gears without carrier pinhole position errors. This trend appeared more clearly in the non-floating-type carrier than the floating-type carrier.

The pitch reducer consists of several planetary gearsets, and they should have good load distribution over gear tooth flank and load sharing among the planets to improve the durability. This work investigates how bearing internal clearances influence both the load distribution over the gear tooth flank and the planet load sharing. A whole system model is developed to analyze a pitch reducer. The model includes non-linear mesh stiffness of gears, non-linear stiffness of bearings. The results indicate that the face load factor and mesh load factor decrease, and the fatigue life of output shaft bearings increase as bearing internal clearances of output shaft decrease. Therefore, the internal clearance of output shaft bearing must be considered when designing the pitch reducer for wind turbines.

Gearboxes are mechanical components that transmit power by adjusting input and output speed and torque. Their design requirements include small size, light weight, and long lifespan. We have investigated the effects of carrier pinhole position error on the load sharing and load distribution characteristics of a planetary gear set with four planet gears. The simulation model for a simple planetary gear set was developed and verified by comparing analytical results with a putative model. Then, we derived the load sharing and load distribution characteristics under various pinhole position error conditions using the prototypical simulation model. The results showed that the mesh load factor and face load factor increased with the pinhole position error, which then influenced the safety factor for tooth bending strength and surface durability.

The concrete cap, which was established on the top of the micropile, usually considered as an important structural component in micropile supported foundation systems. However, relatively few studies have been made on the load sharing behavior of the capped micropile foundation systems. The primary objective of this study is to assess the load sharing behavior of the capped micropile foundation systems. Therefore, a full-scale test on an instrumented capped micropile is conducted for establishing the load-displacement responses. Nonlinear numerical method was used to quantify the load sharing behavior of the pile cap and micropile respectively. As a result, it was found that the pile cap shares about 50% load from final loading steps in the case of 2 by 1 micropile foundation systems. In the case of 2 by 2, the pile cap shares about 30% load from final loading steps. In addition, the load sharing behavior of the micropile cap becomes larger with an increase in spacing and the battered angle of micropile respectively.

The design of Piled Raft foundations considering the load sharing between raft and piles provides a more economical solution than the conventional design approach based on bearing capacity of piles only. Generally, numerical methods are used to analyze the behavior of Piled Rafts due to its complexity and load sharing ratio is also estimated by numerical methods about some limited cases under specific load level and soil conditions. In this study, a method to estimate the load sharing between the raft and piles was developed which is based on load-settlement characteristics of foundation elements. Normalized load-settlement curves of the raft and pile groups were derived individually, and the relationship between load sharing ratio and foundation settlement was proposed by using these curves. For each load-settlement curves, hyperbolic type was adopted in order to describe the non-linear behavior of foundations. Centrifuge test results were compared with the results from proposed method, and the trends of variation of load sharing ratio with settlement presented from both were similar.

Networks often evolve to provide a host with multiple access points to the Internet. In this paper, we propose a transport layer load distribution mechanism utilizing the multiple network interfaces simultaneously. We specifically propose an extension of Stream Control Transmission Protoco1 (SCTP) to have load sharing over multiple network interfaces. We named the particular service provided by the Proposed load sharing mechanism to be LS (Load Sharing) mode service. LS mode service is based on the following four key elements: (i) the separation of flow control and congestion control, (ii) congestion window based striping, (iii) redundant packet retransmission for fast packet loss recovery, (iv) a novel mechanism to keep track of the receiver window size with the SACKS even if they arrive out-of-order. Through simulations, it is shown that the proposed LS mode service can aggregate the bandwidth of multiple paths almost ideally despite of the disparity in their bandwidth. When a path with a delay of 100% greater is utilized as the second path, the throughput is enhanced about 20%.

Since there are various networks and heterogeneity of nodes in Internet, the existing load-sharing algorithms are hardly adapted for use in Internet-based clustering systems. Therefore, in Internet-based clustering systems, a load-sharing algorithm must consider various conditions such as heterogeneity of nodes, characteristics of a network and imbalance of load, and so on. This paper has proposed an expanded-WF algorithm which is based on a WF (Weighted Factoring) algorithm for load-sharing in Internet-based clustering systems. The proposed algorithm uses an adaptive granularity strategy for load-sharing and duplicate execution of partial job for fault-tolerance. For the simulation, the to matrix multiplication using PVM is performed on the heterogeneous clustering environment which consists of two different networks. Compared to other algorithms such as Send, GSS and Weighted Factoring, the proposed algorithm results in an improvement of performance by 55%, 63% and 20%, respectively. Also, this paper shows that It can process the fault-tolerance.
