When a new facility such as automobile assembly line is designed, computer simulation is often used to estimate its actual throughput level. If it falls short of the target throughput level, then the design must be modified to increase the throughput capacity. For complex facilities having parallel processes and network of material flows, the modification procedure is not trivial. Even if the capacity of a particular bottleneck process is increased, the target throughput may not be achieved because the bottleneck may move to another process. Furthermore, each process has a different set of options with different cost to increase the capacity. In this study, we present a systematic procedure of determining the cost-effective set of options which achieves the target throughput.

The port throughput situation has changed since the 2008 financial crisis in the US. Therefore, we studied the situation, accurately estimating port traffic of Korean port after the 2008 financial crisis. We ensured the proper port facilities in response to changes in port traffic. In the results of regression analysis, Korean GDP and the real effective exchange rate of Korean Won were found to increase the container throughput in Korean and Busan port, as well as trade volume with China. Also, the real effective exchange rate of Korean Won was found to increase the port transshipment cargo volume. Based on the ARIMA models, we forecasted port throughput and port transshipment cargo volume for the next six years (72 months), from 2015 to 2020. As a result, port throughput of Korean and Busan ports was forecasted by increasing annual the average from about 3.5% to 3.9%, and transshipment cargo volume was forecasted by increasing the annual average about 4.5%.

Power allocation of soft frequency reuse(SFR) to increase cell edge user throughput by reducing inter-cell interference is proposed for coordinated cellular systems. SFR is the effective technique to increase cell edge user throughput, however, it costs the degradation of total system throughput. The cost increases when SFR operated in distributed resource controlled systems fails to be fast adaptive in the change of user distribution. The proposed scheme enables coordinated cells to control transmit power adaptively depending on user distribution so that it minimizes the loss of system throughput introduced from SFR while it guarantees enhancement of cell edge user throughput. Through system level simulation considering neighboring two cells, evaluation result for adaptive power allocation is shown compared with static power allocation.

As a rapid increase of mobile network usage, many studies on solution for network traffic's demand problem have been done. Especially network environment measurement area provides basis for solving network traffic's demand problem by finding causes of problems through accurate network analysis. However, as increase of demand for smartphone, we should consider effects of mobile platform's property measuring mobile network. In this paper, we design a network traffic measurement system considering mobile platform. Through the information from packets, this system calculates packet transmission delay and throughput. We minimize computation cost required for a mobile device that is a client in this system. When fully using network resources, we found that Wi-Fi has shorter transmission delay, higher maximum throughput and lower loss rate than 3G, Android has shorter transmission delay and higher maximum throughput than iOS, and UDP has longer transmission delay and higher maximum throughput through this system.

In this paper, we evaluate the throughput performance of IEEE 802.15.4 Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) tree network using Contiki-NG operating system. We build a virtual simulation environment to compare the throughput performance of various IEEE 802.15.4 TSCH networks according to the changes in the number of nodes and the hop counts. The simulation results show that the throughput increases as the number of nodes increase while it decreases as the hop counts increase.

In this paper, the throughput performance of an ARQ scheme is analyzed with noisy feedback channel, in order to exactly analysis for performance of an ARQ scheme. An ARQ mechanism is presented by state diagram, and the throughput of an ARQ scheme is mathematically derived using generation function for a signal flow graph. The channel is modeled by the Nakagami-m fading channel which is distributed over far and wide, and the throughput performance of an ARQ scheme, which is applied in BPSK and BFSK systems, according to feedback gain and fading index m is analyzed through computer simulation. In the results, It is shown conformed that the throughput of an ARQ scheme decreased according to the increase of the noise for feedback channel, but it increased according to the increase of the feedback gain and fading index m. Also, it is shown that the throughput of an ARQ scheme using BPSK system is superior to BFSK system because of the difference of bit error probability between BPSK and BFSK systems.

In Ad-hoc networks, centralized power control is not suitable due to the absence of base stations, which perform the power control operation in the network to optimize the system performance. Therefore, each node should perform power control algorithm distributedly instead of the centralized one. The conventional distributed power control algorithm does not consider the adaptive bit loading operation to change the MCS (modulation and coding scheme) according to the received SINR (signal to interference and noise ratio), which limits the system throughput. In this paper, we propose a novel distributed bit loading and power control algorithm, which considers the adaptive bit loading operation to increase total system throughput and decrease outage probability. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs much better than the conventional algorithm.

This paper addresses the effect of protective capacity on the lead time and throughput of a re-entrant line where statistical fluctuations exist in the form of variation in processing times and machine breakdowns. The specific framework employed in the paper is a five station re-entrant line structured as a closed network mode. This paper argues that protective capacity can be used in conjunction with WIP inventory in order to reduce the lead time and to increase the increase the throughput of a line. Simulation analyses are included to give insight into the effectiveness of protective capacity.

In an environment with frequent job requests and short job processing times, thread pool methods are frequently used to increase throughput by reducing overheads due to thread creation and removal. A watermark method normally reduces unnecessary uses of resources by keeping the number of threads less than those needed in the maximum. In the absence of available threads, however, it processes jobs by creating additional threads up to a specified limit so that the system overhead increases due to creation of threads, which results in throughput degradation. This paper presents a history-based dynamic method that alleviates throughput degradation. By estimating and maintaining the number of threads needed for jobs, it reduces overheads due to thread creation and removal. According to experiments, compared to the watermark thread pool method, it shows average 33% increase in the number of threads kept and average 62% reduction in the number of threads created, which results in 6% increase in terms of system throughput.

In this paper, a scheme to increase the throughput of RFID systems is presented, which considers the capture effect in the context of framed ALOHA protocol. Under the capture model in which the probability of one tag is identified successfully depending on the number of tags involved in the collision, two probabilistic methods for estimating the unknown number of tags are proposed. The first method is the maximum likelihood estimation method, and the second method is an approximate algorithm for reducing the computational time. The optimal frame size condition to maximize the system throughput by considering the capture effect is also presented.
