This work presents a test platform for the assessment and benchmarking of modern actuators which have been specifically developed for the new field and service robotics applications. This versatile platform has been designed for the comparative analysis of actuators of dissimilar technology and operating conditions. It combines a modular design to adapt to linear and rotational actuators of different sizes, shapes and functions, as well as those with different load capacities, power and displacement. This test platform emulates the kinematics of robotic joints while an adaptive antagonist-load actuator allows reproducing the variable dynamic loads that actuators used in real robotics applications will be subjected to. A data acquisition system is used for monitoring and analyzing test actuator performance. The test platform combines hardware and software in the loop to allow actuator performance characterization. The use of the proposed test platform is demonstrated through the characterization and benchmarking of three controllable impedance actuators recently being incorporated into modern robotics.

Various inventory control theories have tried to modelling and analyzing supply chains by using quantitative methods and characterization of optimal control policies. However, despite of various efforts in this research filed, the existing models cannot afford to be applied to the realistic problems. The most unrealistic assumption for these models is customer demand. Most of previous researches assume that the customer demand is stationary with a known distribution, whereas, in reality, the customer demand is not known a priori and changes over time. In this paper, we propose a reinforcement learning based adaptive echelon base-stock inventory control policy for a multi-stage, serial supply chain with non-stationary customer demand under the service level constraint. Using various simulation experiments, we prove that the proposed inventory control policy can meet the target service level quite well under various experimental environments.

The architecture of the CDMA mobile system (CMS) is developed based on three function groups - service resource, service control, and service management groups. In this paper, the CMS architecture is discussed from the point of view of implementing these functions. The variable length packets are used for transmission. The synchronization clock signals are derived form the GPS receiver. The open loop and closed loop techniques are used for the power control. The internationally accepted signaling and network protocols are employed. The call control for the primary services in designed to provide efficient mobile telecommunication services. The softer handoff is implemented in one card. The mobile assisted handoff and the network assisted handoff are employed in the soft and hard handoffs. The authentication is based on the secret data which includes random numbers. The management functions, which include the location management, resource management, cell boundary management and OAM management, are implemented to warrant the system efficiency, maximum capacity and high reliability. The architecture ensures that the CMS is flexible and expandable to provide subscribers with economic and efficient system configuration. The dynamic power control, adaptive channel allocation. and dynamic cell boundary management are recommended for future work.

Passive optical networks (PONs) will be the pervasive choice in the design of next-generation access networks. One possible solution to implementing Passive optical access network is to rely on wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). In this paper, we solve the problem of providing real-time service to both hard and soft real-time messages in conjunction with a conventional vest-effort service in WDM. we propose an adaptive scheduling algorithm to schedule and manage the message transmissions in the optical access network. Proposed algorithm is MLF-MQF. Also, we suggest dynamic bandwidth algorithm(DBA) in Loop-back WDM-PON (LPB-PON).our mechanism based on bandwidth reservation protocol.

This research aims to formulate a mathematical model and develop an algorithm for solving a location problem in emergency medical service vehicle parking. To find an optimal parking location which has the least risk score or risk priority number calculated from severity, occurrence, detection, and distance from parking location for emergency patients, data were collected from Pratoom sub-district Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Center from October 2010 to April 2011. The criteria of risk evaluation were modified from Automotive Industry Action Group's criteria. An adaptive simulated annealing algorithm with multiple cooling schedules called multi-agent simulated quenching (MASQ) is proposed for solving the problem in two schemes of algorithms including dual agent and triple agent quenching. The result showed that the solution obtained from both scheme of MASQ was better than the traditional solution. The best locations obtained from MASQ-dual agent quenching scheme was nodes #5 and #133. The risk score was reduced 61% from 6,022 to 2,371 points.

The new mobile edge network architecture has been required for an increasing amount of traffic, quality requirements, advanced driver assistance system for autonomous driving and new cloud computing demands on highway. This article proposes a hierarchical cloud computing architecture to enhance performance by using adaptive data load distribution for buses that play the role of edge computing server. A vehicular dynamic cloud is based on wireless architecture including Wireless Local Area Network and Long Term Evolution Advanced communication is used for data transmission between moving buses and cars. The main advantages of the proposed architecture include both a reduction of data loading for top layer cloud server and effective data distribution on traffic jam highway where moving vehicles require video on demand (VOD) services from server. Through the description of real environment based on NS-2 network simulation, we conducted experiments to validate the proposed new architecture. Moreover, we show the feasibility and effectiveness for the connected car media service on highway.

본 논문에서는 Gigabit Ethernet-PON의 상향 트래픽 제어를 위해 기존에 제안되었던 Interleaved polling with Adaptive Cycle Time (IPACT) 방식의 gated service 스케줄링의 성능을 수학적으로 분석하였다. 성능분석 방법은 EPON MAC 프로토콜을 polling system으로 모델링하고, mean value analysis를 사용하였다. Arrival rate λ의 값을 세 구간으로 나누고, 구간마다 의 수학적 분석과정을 제시하였다. 첫 번째 구간은 λ의 값이 매우 작아서 ONU들의 데이터 전송이 거의 없는 구간이고, 두 번째 구간은 λ의 값이 충분히 커서 ONU들의 연속적인 데이터 전송이 일어나는 구간이고, 세 번째 구간은 λ의 값이 매우 커서 ONU들의 버퍼가 항상 포화상태에 있는 구간이다. 분석결과 gated service의 평균 패킷 지연시간과 평균 큐 사이즈, 평균 싸이클 시간 등을 구하고, 수학적 성능분석의 정확성을 검증하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 수학적 분석결과와 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교하였다. 이를 통해 수학적 분석결과와 시뮬레이션 결과가 상당히 일치함을 확인하였다. 기존에 IPACT의 성능 평가는 시뮬레이션에만 의존하였는데, 이 방법은 시간과 노력이 많이 필요한 반면, 수학적 성능분석은 성능지표를 단시간 내에 다양하게 구할 수 있어서 시스템 설계에 널리 활용될 수 을 것이라 예상된다. 이때 EPON의 제어 파라미터를 조절함으로써 트래픽 특성에 맞는 시스템을 설계할 수 있다.

4G mobile networks are expected to support various multimedia services over IP networks and also satisfy high spectral efficiency requirement. In cellular systems including 4G networks, hotspot cells can occur when available wireless resources at some location are not enough to sustain the needs of users. The hotspot cell can potentially lead to blocked and dropped calls, which can deteriorate the service quality for users. In a 4G mobile network, a band of users enjoying multimedia services can move around, which may generate heavy flows of traffic load. This situation can generate the hotspot cell which has a short life span of only a few minutes. In this paper, we propose a handover-based scheme which can effectively manage hotspot cells in 4G mobile networks. With the scheme, the current serving cell can recognize the load status of the target cell in advance before handover execution. Adaptive handover time control according to the amount of traffic load of cells can effectively and flexibly manage the hotspot cell in the network. And, through our hotspot cell management scheme, acceptable service quality can be supported as users continuously maintain connections with the network. In the simulation results, we find that our scheme generates smaller number of hotspot cells and supports higher service quality than the compared schemes.
