Modern long-span floor system typically possesses low damping and low natural frequency, presenting a potential vibration sensitivity problem induced by human activities. Field test and numerical analysis methods are available to study this kind of problems, but would be inconvenient for design engineers. This paper proposes a simplified method to determine the acceleration amplitudes of long-span floor system subjected to walking or running load, which can be carried out manually. To theoretically analyze the acceleration response, the floor system is simplified as an anisotropic rectangular plate and the mode decomposition method is used. To facilitate the calculation of acceleration amplitude a_P, a coefficient α_wmn or α_Rmn is introduced, with the former depending on the geometry and support condition of floor system and the latter on the contact duration t_R and natural frequency. The proposed simplified method is easy for practical use and gives safe structural designs.

In existing wireless ad-hoc networks, how to distribute network resources fairly between many users to optimize data transmission is an important research subject. However, in wireless mesh networks (WMNs), it is one of the research areas to avoid gateway bottleneck more than the fair network resource sharing. It is because WMN traffic are concentrated on the gateway connected to backhaul. To solve this problem, the paper proposes Weighted Fairness Time-sharing Access (WFTA). The proposed WFTA is a priority time scheduling scheme based on Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ).

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are used for metropolitan area network that requires high network throughput for handling many users. TDMA-based access is a common solution for this problem and several scheduling methods have been proposed. However, existing heuristic methods have room for improvement at network throughput although they are low complexity. In this paper, we propose a novel divided scheduling method based on structural characteristics in order to improve network throughput in WMNs. It separately schedules neighbor links of gateways and that of the other links by different scheduling algorithms. Simulation-based evaluations show that our proposal improves up to 14% of network throughput compared with conventional scheduling algorithm script.

In wireless mesh networks multi-rate technology environment, a mesh node can dynamically modify the data transmission rate on a particular link, in response to link distance, or more accurately, the perceived SNR ratio between neighbor nodes. In such networks, existing route selection schemes use a link quality metric. Thus, these schemes may easily result in the network being overloaded. In this paper, a new route metric is proposed; it considers both per-hop service delay and link quality at mesh nodes. In addition, the Load-Aware AODV (LA-AODV) protocol using the proposed metric is presented. The performance evaluation is performed by simulation using the OPNET simulator. It is demonstrated that the LA-AODV protocol outperforms the existing routing protocols using other existing route metrics in multi-rate WMN environment.

Due to its ease of deployment, low cost, self-configuring and self-healing capabilities, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have emerged as a key technology to be used in a wide scale applications in personal, local, campus, and metropolitan areas. Security and more specifically privacy is an important issue in this type of multi-hop WMN which has given a little attention in the research community. We focus on privacy compromise of a mesh client in a community mesh network that may lead an attacker to reveal mesh clients identity. his other profiles and gain information about mobility. In this paper. we have presented an authentication mechanism with the aid of blind signature that ensures a mesh client to anonymously authenticate itself with a nearby mesh router and thereby preserve identity privacy We have also presented the security and performance analysis of the proposed scheme.

This letter proposes a new distributed scheduling scheme combined with routing to support the quality of service of real-time applications in wireless mesh networks. Next, this letter drives average end-to-end delay of the proposed scheduling scheme that sequentially schedules the slots on a path. Finally, this letter simulates the time division multiple access network for performance comparison. From the simulation results, when the average number of hops is 2.02, 2.66, 4.1, 4.75, and 6.3, the proposed sequential scheduling scheme reduces the average end-to-end delay by about 28%, 10%, 17%, 27%, and 30%, respectively, compared to the conventional random scheduling scheme.

Wireless networks (WNs) are developed and applied widely in a lot of areas. Now, a new generation of wireless networks is coming, and that is Wireless Mesh Network (WMN). At present, there are not so many researches which deal on this area. Most researches are derived from Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) and WNs. In WMNs, there are some applications that require real-time delivery. To guarantee this, rate control and congestion control are needed. This problem leads to optimization issue in transport layer. In this paper, we propose a mathematical model which is applied in rate and congestion control in WNMs. From this model, we optimize rate and congestion control in WMNs by maximizing network utility. The proposed algorithm is implemented in distributed way both in links and sources.

In a wireless mesh network, there are two types of nodes: mesh routers and mesh clients. These two contradistinct network entities will be characterized and modeled depending on their role in the network. Mesh routers are essentially not mobile unlike the mesh clients. The differences on these nodes should be noted in any protocol design. In this paper, we present a mobility management for wireless mesh network (WMN). This mobility management handles movement of wireless mesh clients as it leaves from a coverage area of a wireless mesh router to another. We consider signaling overhead and mobility as performance metrics.

무선멀티홉네트워크(WMNs)는 무선 채널의 페이딩 및 가변적인 대역폭에 의해 패킷 손실 및 전송 지연에 의해 비디오 스트리밍의 성능이 저하된다. 고품질의 비디오 스트리밍의 성능을 보장하기 위해 FEC (Forward Error Correction) 기반의 네트워크 적응적인 비디오 스트리밍 기법이 제안되어 왔다. 종단간 FEC와 홉간의 FEC 기법 등을 사용하는 기존 네트워크 적응 기법들은 제한적인 모니터링 정보에 기반 하므로 스트리밍 경로의 전체적인 상태를 반영하기 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 WMNs 환경에서 모니터링 기반의 네트워크 적응적 FEC 코디네이션을 이용하여 모니터링을 통해 경로 전체의 네트워크 상태를 판별한 후 적응적으로 특정 홉으로부터 종단까지 제어하는 H2E(hop-to-end) FEC 기법을 제안한다. H2E-FEC 기법은 FEC의 시작노드와 중복도(redundancy)를 네트워크 상태에 따라 적절히 결정해야 하며, 이를 위해 중앙집중형 코디네이터를 활용해 획득한 정확한 모니터링 정보를 바탕으로 H2E-FEC를 위한 코디네이션을 적용한다. 제안된 기법은 OMF(Orbit Measurement Framework) 기반의 WMN 테스트베드에서 다수의 실험을 통해 검증하며, 강압적인 네트워크 환경에서 H2E-FEC가 기존의 E2E 및 HbH-FEC 기법에 비해 패킷 복구율 및 전송 지연 시간에 의한 복잡성에서 높은 성능을 나타낸다. 구축된 테스트베드 환경에서 코디네이터를 적용한 후 E2E-FEC 기법에 비해 패킷 복구율이 약 17% 향상됨을 보인다.

무선 메쉬 네트워크 기술은 유선과 비슷한 전송속도를 가지는 무선 통신 기술을 이용해서 무선 백본망으로 사용하는 기술을 의미하며 토폴로지는 메쉬 형태를 갖는다. 이러한 형태는 Ad-hoc 네트워크와 유사한 점을 가지고 있지만 운용 목적과 내부 동작에서 다르기 때문에 채널접속 제어방법을 설정하기 위한 메트릭이 요구 된다. 본 논문에서는 데이터를 전달하기 위한 효율적인 채널접속 제어방법을 개선하여 무선 메쉬 네트워크의 성능을 향상시키는 방안에 대하여 제안하였으며 음영과 노출 메쉬 클라이언트, 채널 독점 등을 통해서 제안한 방법에 대한 성능을 분석하였다.
