In this paper, an asymmetric WDM-EPON transmission scheme is proposed to be used in a high speed access network system, which is required to implement the convergence of broadcast and communication. WDM is used for downstream transmission from OLT to access nodes, satisfying wide bandwidth requirement for broadcasting and various multimedia services. And an EPON scheme, which is cheaper than WDM, is applied to upstream transmission where less bandwidth is required. A transmission test in physical layer was performed successfully and the results are provided. If ONUs are to be used in a home gateway, its protocol should be appropriate to its traffic pattern. Voice is sensitive to a time delay while data is not. A new dynamic bandwidth assignment protocol for PON system, which can cope with various types of data in access network is proposed and its performance is analysed. A maximum cycle time is specified to achieve the QoS of signals sensitive to time delay. And a minimum window is specified to prevent the downstream control signals from uprising. It is shown by simulation that the proposed EPON protocol can provide a better performance than previous ones.

In order to monitor the impact locations in smart structures, multipoint ultrasonic sensors are to be employed. In this study, a multiplexing demodulator with wide dynamic range was proposed to detect the impact locations using FBG sensors, and a stabilization controlling system was also developed for the maintenance of maximum sensitivity of sensors. Two FBG sensors were attached on the bottom side of the aluminum beam specimen and low velocity impact tests were performed to detect the one-dimensional impact locations. As a result, multiplexed in-line FBG sensors could detect the moment of impact precisely, and found the impact locations with the average location error below 0.58mm.

In optical burst switching(OBS) networks, the ingress edge router assembles packets in the same class queue into the appropriate size of burst. A burst control packet(BCP) is generated for channel reservation of corresponding data burst and sent earlier than the corresponding data burst with an offset time. Offset time is determined considering the number of hops from source to destination and the required quality of service(QoS). After offset time, the burst data is passed through tile pre-configured optical switches without any O/E/O conversion. But a failure in OBS networks may lead to the loss of bursts until the ingress nodes receive the failure indication signal. This results in a significant degradation in QoS. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a fault-tolerant node architecture based on sub-carrier multiplexing to reduce the effects of failure in OBS networks. The Performance of the proposed fault-tolerant node architecture exhibits considerable improvement as compared with the previous ones.

In this paper, we present an efficient hardware architecture for the H.263 video codec and its VLSI implementation. This architecture is based on the unified interface by which internal hardware engines and an internal RISC processor are connected one another. The unified interface enables the modular design of internal blocks, efficient hardware/software partitioning, and pipelined paralled operations. The developed VLSI supports the H.263 version 2 profile 3 @ level 10, and moreover, both the control protocol H.245 and the multiplexing protocol H.223. Therefore, it can be used for the complete ITU-T H.324 or 3GPP 3G 324M multimedia processor with the help of an external audio codec. Simultaneous encoding and decoding of QCIF format images at a rate greater than 15 frames per second is achieved at 40 MHz clock frequency.

In this paper, a trellis-coded 3-dimensional (3-D) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is presented and its performance is analyzed. Here, a set-partitioning technique for trellis coding with respect to a 3-D signal constellation is also presented. We show theoretically that the proposed system, which exploits a trellis coding scheme with recursive systematic convolutional codes (RSC) of code rate R = 1/3 and 2/3, can improve symbol error rate (SER) up to 7.8 dB as compared with the uncoded OFDM system in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. Computer simulation confirms that the theoretical analysis of the proposed system is very accurate. It is, therefore, considered that the proposed trellis-coded 3-D OFDM system is well suited for the high quality digital transmission system without increase in the available bandwidth.

In this paper, we propose a heuristic wavelength routing algorithm for IP datagrams in WDM (Wavelength-Division Multiplexing) networks which operates in a distributed manner, while most previous works have focused centralized algorithms. We first present an efficient construction method for a loose virtual topology with a connectivity property, which reserves a few wavelength to cope with dynamic traffic demands properly. This connectivity property assures that data from any source node could reach any destination node by hopping one or multiple lightpaths. We then develop a high-speed distributed wavelength routing algorithm adaptive to dynamic traffic demands by using such a loose virtual topology and derive the general bounds on average utilization in the distributed wavelength routing algorithms. Finally, we show that the performance of the proposed algorithms is better than that of the FSP(Fixed Shortest-Path) wavelength routing algorithms through simulation using the NSFNET[1] and a dynamic hot-spot traffic model, and that the algorithms is a good candidate in distributed WDM networks in terms of the blocking performance, the control traffic overhead, and the computation complexity.

In this paper, we designed and implemented the system for telemetering ELF(Extremely Low Frequency) magnetic field intensity. The magnetic field measurement system used a 3-axis magnetic field sensor to measure the magnetic field with isotropy and the equalizer to compensate the frequency characteristic in band. By multiplexing three output signals of the magnetic field sensor in time domain, we got the uniform gain and frequency characteristic among three axes. This system was designed that the magnetic field measurement level range was $0.01{\sim}10.0\;uT$ and the measurement frequency band was $40{\sim}180\;Hz$. The control system would access to the magnetic field measurement system with RF and the maximum access distance was 1.0 km. We confirmed that the measurement level error of the fabricated system was within 5 %. The fabricated system was installed to a golf practice range where a high voltage power transmission line was crossed.

In OBS (Optical Burst Switching) networks which decouple the burst from its header, the fault of a fiber link can lead to the failure of all the light-path that traverses the fiber. Because each light-path is expected to operate at a rate of a few Gbps by using WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology, any failure may lead to large data loss. Therefore, an efficient recovery scheme must be provided. In this paper, we analyze network utilization and BCP (Burst Control Packet) loss rate according to each link failure by applying the conventional restoration schemes in OBS networks. And through these simulation results, an ASPR scheme is proposed improve the fault management scheme in terms of recovery time and throughput. Finally, We compare the performance of our proposed scheme with that of the conventional one with respect to burst loss rate, resource utilization and throughput by OPNET simulations.

The Internet is evolving from best-effort service toward an integrated or differentiated service framework with quality-of-service (QoS) assurances that are required for new multimedia service applications. Given this increasing demand for high bandwidth Internet with QoS assurances in the coming years, an IP/MPLS-based control plane combined. with a wavelength-routed dense-wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical network is seen as a very promising approach for the realization of future re-configurable transport networks. This paper proposes a differentiated lambda establishment process for QoS guarantees based on the differentiated MPLS service (DMS) model. According to the QoS characteristics of wavelength in optical links and the type of used Optical Cross-Connect (OXC) nodes in DWDM next generation optical Internet backbone network, a differentiated wavelength assignment strategy that considers QoS recovery capability is also suggested.
