The cooling water circulation plates had been used to drop the temperature of refractory outside shell of common cooling system by using cooling plate or stave type. When they are attacked by surrounding gas, they are corroded and the water flows in the refractory due to leakage of water. So, the life of refractory material is shortened and changed due to the worse conditions of cooling system. The automatic sensing device for water leakage of cooling plate is developed to check the position of trouble by using the microprocessor system when cooling water leak and gas are flowed into the cooling plate through the leakage position. The flowed gas is detected in the micro-process system which delivers the detected position of cooling plate or stave to main control room through the wireless-radio relay station. This system can be possible to detect the position of cooling plate or stave against the water leakage part immediately and then deliver the signal to main control room by using the microprocessor system and wireless-radio relay station. This system will be developed in changing the working condition from manual system to unmanned auto alarm system.

All the power generating station require dc auxiliary power systems to operate those dc components that must be available if a loss of ac power occur. Some examples of such components are auxiliary motors, circuit breakers, relays and solenoids. The dc source may be one common battery for both power and control or two separate batteries; one for power and another for control. Typically, a dc auxiliary power system is designed as an ungrounded system, instead of grounded system, so that a low-resistance ground fault on one of its two polarities will not affect the operation of the system, thus increasing system reliability and continuity of service. A ground detector should provide a high polarity-to-ground resistance so that a single ground fault occurring on the system will not affect the operation of that system. Sensitive relays have been known to energize momentarily while the cable and capacitive charge to ground shifts[1]. A power station had experienced this kind of incident and performed root cause analysis based on PC based simulation program known as PSpice. This simulation showed adapted relays on the system energize momentarily and design criteria on this relay should be corrected.

In this paper, carrier frequency offset and 2-D AoA (Angle-of-Arrival) estimation methods are proposed for an OFDM-based MRS (Mobile Relay Station) with UCA (Uniform Circular Array). The proposed methods are performed by using the preamble symbol in downlink and can improve the performance of CFO estimation significantly, compared with the conventional method. The proposed methods can be divided into two methods (method 1 and method 2) depending on the order of the AoA estimation and CFO estimation. It is shown by computer simulation under Mobile WiMAX environments that the proposed methods can estimate the CFOs and AoAs of adjacent BSs effectively.

In this paper wideband dipole antenna that is usable as PCS/WCDMA/WiBro/WiMax public relay station antenna is proposed. The proposed antenna that designed by using double ring structure improves bandwidth performance of existing dipole antenna to wideband performance. To verify wideband performance and isotropic radiation pattern of the proposed antenna, simulation and fabrication have progressed its radiation characteristic has measured and then compared with calculated result. Measured result is similar to calculated result and has gain of 2dB VSWR of 2:1 over 1.75~3GHz. It is considered that the dipole antenna that designed in this paper can be usable as PCS/WCDMA/WiBro/WiMax public relay station antenna.

This paper proposes a multichannel random access channel allocation scheme for multihop cellular networks to guarantee the stable throughput of a random access. The fundamental contribution is a mathematical formula for an optimal partition ratio of shared random access channels between a base station and a relay station. In addition, the proposed scheme controls the retransmission probability of random access packets under heavy load condition. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can guarantee the required random access channel utilization and packet transmission delay even if the a random access packet arrival rate is higher than 0.1.

In this paper, the effect of a Doppler Spread caused by a mobile station (MS) is analyzed for transparent mobile multi-hop relays (MMR) systems based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The exact expression of interchannel interference (ICI) power and the upper bounds of ICI power are derived for OFDM systems with cooperative MMR or non-coopeartive throughput enhancement (TE) MMR. Also, the exact signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) and its lower bound as well as ICI power and its upper bound, derived in this paper, are evaluated by computer simulation with the OFDM parameter set used for mobile WiMax (WiBro) systems.

In this paper, we propose new cell structures using multi-hop Relay Station(RS) based on IEEE802.16j in Narrow-Beam Trisector Cell (NBTC) and Wide-Beam Trisector Cell (WBTC), which are two methods for cell sectorization using 3-sector directional antennas. Then, we analyze our proposed structures compared with the existing system which does not use any RS about the numbers of optimized Base Station (BS) and multi-hop relay, the extended BS coverage, and the deployment cost according to the traffic density using optimization model. According to the results, we know the reduction of total deployment cost of the proposed systems and that WBTC is suitable when the traffic density is high and NBTC is suitable when the traffic density is low in our proposed multi-hop based NBTC and WBTC structures.

Cooperative diversity is a promising technique for range extension and diversity increase without the use of multiple transmit antennas at the user equipment. In this paper, we propose a cooperative hybrid automatic repeat request relay method with adaptive retransmission to increase the throughput when the SNR of a source user is low. In the proposed method, the source user transmits the first segment of a codeword to relay users and a base station. If the base station fails to recover the information from the received packet, it requests the source or some relay users to retransmit the packet previously sent. In addition, the retransmission type of a selected user is chosen from repetition or incremental redundancy according to the quality of systematic bits in a turbo codeword. Simulation results show that the proposed method improves the throughput compared to conventional methods, and the improvement is significant when the source user has a low SNR.

The data forwarding transmission is an important function of the relay in cooperative communication in wireless communication systems. However, additional relay cause the waste of power consumption and cost. Therefore, in this paper, we consider how to use the user mobile devices in stead of relays to deal with this problem. In this paper, we proposed the protocol that divide each relay into two states of idle and non-idle. The receiver has two functions of base station and user mobile device. In this case, it is possible that no additional cost, and improve the spectral efficiency and network capacity. We verified BER performance for the proposed protocol over Rayleigh fading through Monte-Carlo simulation.

A wireless sensor network is the combination of a large number of deployed sensors over an area. Communication between the sensors is the most important factor for a successful sensor network. It is mandatory that long distance and multi-hop communication will occur between sensors. Generally sensors relay the sensed data of a particular territory to the command center via a base station. For the non uniformed deployment of sensors many sensors may deploy in hostile areas surrounded by full of obstacles or in other condition it may be out of the direct communication range of the base station. It seems a critical problem for routing data to and from those sensors to the base station. This paper proposes a route management scheme using a dynamic load balancing approach based on residual energy of each agent sensors.
