In this paper, in order to increase system capacity and reduce the transmitting power of the user's equipment, we propose an efficient power estimation consisting of a modified open-loop power control (OLPC) and closed-loop power control (CLPC) schemes for mobile/satellite communications systems. The OLPC works well if the forward and reverse links are perfectly correlated and the CLPC is sensitive to round-trip delay (RTD). Therefore, it is not effective in mobile/satellite system. In order to solve the above problem, we added monitoring equipment to both the OLPC and CLPC to use information about transmitting power that has not yet been received by the receiver over the satellite/ATC channel. Moreover, we adapted an efficient pilot diversity of both OLPC and CLPC in order to get a better signal to interference plus noise ratio (SIR) estimation of the received signal.

기존의 TCP/IP 네트워크 상에서 혼잡을 제어하는 일반적인 방법은 end-to-end 피드백 방식이다. 혼잡이 발생했는지의 여부는 수신측의 ACK 신호로 예측할 수밖에 없으므로 RTT(round trip time)가 길어질 경우 혼잡처리 시간이 길어지게 된다. Active Network 기술을 이용한 ACC(Active Congestion Control)의 경우 혼잡이 발생한 라우터에서 전송자에게 직접적으로 정보를 전송하기 때문에 보다 빠른 혼잡처리가 가능하다. 비록 코어 라우터에서 패킷을 누락시키는 방법에 있어 상태정보를 필요로 하는 단점이 있지만 모의 실험 결과 향상된 처리량을 보여주었다. 혼잡처리에 있어 새로운 처리 방식은 AQM(Active Queue Management)이다. 이 방식은 RED 를 기본 모델로 변형된 것이 대부분이며 RED 가 갖는 단점을 개선하고 혼잡처리와 공평성(fairness)을 향상 시키는데 목적이 있다. 본 논문에서는 ACC 의 피드백 메커니즘과 AQM 의 융통성 있는 큐 관리 기법을 이용하여 보다 향상된 혼잡제어 기법을 보이겠다.

ABR traffic form ATM LAN is controlled through RM cell, and the interface function to public ATM network is necessary to provide ABR service efficiently. This paper presnets new interface architecture, which is based on "Projected Node" [6]. using AIPU(ABR Interface Proxy Unit) to support ABR traffic streams incoming from ATM LAN in the public ATM network. For the efficient interworking, the AIPU has designed for interworking functions with ERICA switch mechanism. Conventional ERICA switch mechanism specified in TM 4.0 is basically used for short distance comparative to public network, however AIPU adopts the novel control mechanism to cover logng roud trip time (RTT). To improve the problems and to provide a dynamic range of UCI(Update Count Interval), this paper proposes, a novel control scheme, DUCI ( Dynamic Update Count Interval. And the paper shows inefficiencies of ERICA mechanism with fixed UCI through the simulation results, and represents the performance enhancement of DUCI mechanism developed to adjust the update count interval dynamically.

This paper addresses the inventory rationing issue embedded in the regional supply chain inventory replenishment problem (RSIRP). The concerned supply chain, which was fed by the national supply chain, consisted of a single warehouse distributing a single product to multiple stores (M-stores) with independent and normally distributed customer demand. It was assumed that the supply chain operated under the order-up-to level inventory replenishment system and had only one truck at the regional warehouse. The truck could make one replenishment trip to one store per period (a round trip per period). Based on current inventories and the vehicle constraint, the warehouse must make two decisions in each period: which store in the region to replenish and what was the replenishment quantity? The objective was to position inventories so as to minimize lost sales in the region. The warehouse inventory was replenished in every fixed-interval from a source outside the region, but the store inventory could be replenished daily. The truck destination (store) in each period was selected based on its maximum expected shortage. The replenishment quantity was then determined based on the predetermined order-up-to level system. In case of insufficient warehouse inventories to fulfill all projected store demands, an inventory rationing rule must be applied. In this paper, a new inventory rationing rule named Expected Cost Minimization (ECM) was proposed based on the practical purpose. The numerical results based on real data from a selective industry show that its performance was better and more robust than the current practice and other sharing rules in the existing literature.

This study attempts to evaluate and compare the land consumption efficiencies of various urban transport modes, utilizing the time-area method. With the careful considerations of travel conditions and modal characteristics, equations for the computation of time-area for various different modes are derived. With the appropriate assumed values of parameters, time-area consumptions per person per km for each mode both for peak and off-peak situations are computed and evaluated. The relationships between the time-area consumed and operating speed for each mode are graphically demonstrated and discussed. An example of the time-area consumed for a hypothetical commuter round-trip using various modes are also presented in order to clearly show the consumption of parking requirements by specific modes. It shows that regardless of facilities used, auto users are by far the worst in terms of area efficiency and that transit, especially rail rapid transit, is a superior mode. Pedestrian and bicycle, though consuming more than expected, also demonstrate the advantage in case of a short-distance trip in terms of area efficiency compared with the bus transit modes.

In this paper, modified power control algorithms are proposed for a satellite mobile communications system with ATC (ancillary terrestrial component). In order to increase system capacity and reduce the transmitting power of the user's equipment, we propose the modified power control scheme consisting of the modified closed-loop and open-loop power control. The modified CLPC (closed-loop power control) algorithm, combining the delay compensation algorithms and pilot diversity, is mainly applied to the ATC link in urban areas because it is more suitable to the short RTD (round-trip delay). In the case of rural areas where ATCs are not deployed or a signal is not received from ATCs, combining monitoring transmitting power equipment and OLPC (open-loop power control) algorithms using an efficient pilot diversity is mainly applied to the link between the user's equipment and the satellite. Two power control algorithms are applied equally to the boundary areas where two kinds of signals are received in order to ensure coverage continuity. The simulation results show that the modified power control scheme has good performance compared to conventional power control schemes in a GEO (geostationary earth orbit) satellite system with ATC.

This study examines dynamic flow control method in UDP, analyzes packet loss which is frequently used element in measuring existing dynamic flow control and characteristics of round trip time, and proposes a new method of measurement, RSST. The algorithm that uses the proposed RSST enables accurate measurement of network status by considering both the currently measured network status and the past history of network status in controlling the transmission rate. For comparison study, a network status measurement software program that displays detailed information about volume of transmission generation of network status, and flow pattern of network was developed. The performance test shows that the proposed algorithm can better adjust to network condition in terms of low pack loss rate over existing algorithms.

The performance of a packet data multiplexer with stop­and­wait ARQ protocols under Markovian interruption is considered in this work It is assumed that the input process, into the system is Poisson process, and that the output channel is divided into a series of time slots and a data packet can be transmitted in a slot time. In this system the round­trip propagation delay is defined to be the frame time. It is modeled that the output channel can be blocked by some Markevian interruption, whose state change between the blocking and non­-blocking states is given by Markov process. The overall system has been analyzed by constructing a relationship, taking the Markovian interruption into account, about the buffer behavior between the successive frames of slots. The validity of this analytical results has been verified by computer simulation.

Due to the advancement of mobile wireless networks, various LBS's (Location Based Service) with the knowledge of mobile station's current position are emerging. Providing LBS is very essential feature in Mobile WiMAX networks such as WiBro networks for their competitiveness. To this end, WiMAX Forum has established recently the network architecture and protocols for providing LBS and they are included in the Network working group's release 1.5 documents. Though there have been many research efforts on location determination in Wibro networks, none of them addresses the location determination mechanism complying to Forum's recent LBS standards. This paper proposes an enhanced TDOA-RTD combined location determination mechanism, which complies to the Forum's LBS architecture.

In this paper, we extend the multiple time scale control framework to window-based congestion control, in particular, TCP This is performed by interfacing TCP with a large tine scale control nodule which adjusts the aggressiveness of bandwidth consumption behavior exhibited by TCP as a function of "large time scale" network state. i.e., conformation that exceeds the horizon of the feedback loop as determined by RTT Our contribution is threefold. First, we define a modular extension of TCP-a function call with a simple interface-that applies to various flavors of TCP-e.g., Tahoe, Reno, Vegas and show that it significantly improves performance. Second, we show that multiple time scale TCP endows the underlying feedback control with preactivity by bridging the uncertainty gap associated with reactive controls which is exacerbated by the high delay-bandwidth product in broadband wide area networks. Third, we investigate the influence of three traffic control dimensions-tracking ability, connection duration, and fairness-on performance. Performance evaluation of multiple time scale TCP is facilitated by a simulation bench-mark environment which is based on physical modeling of self-similar traffic.
