The broadcast environment is asymmetric communication aspect that is typically much greater communication capacity available from server to clients than in the opposite direction. In addition, most of mobile computing systems only allow the generation of read-only transactions from mobile clients for retrieving different types of information such as stock data, traffic information and news updates. Since previous concurrency control protocols, however, do not consider such a particular characteristics, the performance degradation occurs when those schemes are applied to the broadcast environment having quite a high data contention. In this paper, we propose OCC/2VTS (Optimistic Concurrency Control based on 2-Version and TimeStamp) that is most appropriate for broadcast environment. OCC/2VTS lets each client process and commit query transactions for itself by using two version data in cache. If the values of appropriate data items are not changed twice by invalidation report after a query transaction starts, the query transaction is committed safely independent of commitment of update transactions. OCC/2VTS decreases the number of informing server for the purpose of commitment. Due to broadcasting the validation reports including updated recent values, it reduces the opportunity of requesting a recent data values of server as well. As a result, OCC/2VTS makes full use of the asymmetric bandwidth. It also improves transaction throughput by increasing the query transaction commit ratio as much as possible.

We present an all-fiberized power-scalable, sub-nanosecond mode-locked laser based on a frequency-shifted-feedback ring cavity comprised of an erbium-doped fiber, a downshifting acousto-optic modulator (AOM), and a bandpass filter (BPF). With the aid of the frequency-shifted feedback mechanism provided by the AOM and the narrow filter bandwidth of 0.45 nm, we generate self-starting, mode-locked optical pulses with a spectral bandwidth of ~0.098 nm and a pulsewidth of 432 to 536 ps. In particular, the output power is readily scalable with pump power while keeping the temporal shape and spectral bandwidth. This is obtained via the consolidation of bound pulse modes circulating at the fundamental repetition rate of the cavity. In fact, the consolidated pulses form a single-entity envelope of asymmetric Gaussian shape where no discrete internal pulses are perceived. This result highlights that the inclusion of the narrow BPF into the cavity is crucial to achieving the consolidated pulses.

A fairness control method for Distributed-Queue Dual-Bus(DQDB) has been studied under specific traffic types such as equal probability traffic, symmetric traffic and asymmetric traffic. To distribute DQDB network bandwidth fairly to all stations under general traffic such as a client-server traffic that differs from specific traffic types, we propose an effective fairness control method. Based on an access limit, the proposed mechanism applies two bandwidth control mechanisms to DQDB networks. One is the mechanism that is called APS(Access Protection Scheme) for servers. And another is the mechanism that controls the allocation of bandwidth only using an access limit lot clients. Simulation results show that it outperforms other mechanisms.

A design method for a multisection impedance transforming branch-line hybrid using a genetic algorithm suitable for MMIC applications is proposed. In contrast to the previous design methods, an asymmetric structure is introduced to optimize the hybrid. Optimization is performed within the impedance range to achieve the realizable hybrids with a microstrip line in a desired frequency range. This design method is applicable to the hybrid which has the arbitrary power division ratio, impedance transforming ratio, isolation, directivity and bandwidth. The hybrid designed by the proposed method has 3∼10％ more bandwidth than the previous results.

This paper presents a modified TEM horn that improves radiation characteristics at a low frequency region. The proposed antenna consists of an asymmetric TEM (ATEM) horn and a loop structure with an elliptical shape. The bandwidth and gain at low frequency region can be enhanced by using the ATEM horn configuration and adding a loop structure with an elliptical shape to the ATEM horn. The bandwidth of the proposed antenna is from 2.14 to over 20 GHz, whereas that of the conventional TEM horn is from 2.7 to over 20 GHz, where the dimensions of both antennas are the same except for the thickness of the loop structure. The physical and electrical dimensions of the proposed antenna are $60mm{\times}62.5mm{\times}64mm$ ($width{\times}height{\times}length$) and $0.428{\lambda}_L{\times}0.445{\lambda}_L{\times}0.456{\lambda}_L$, where ${\lambda}_L$ corresponds to the lowest frequency of the bandwidth. The realized gain of the proposed antenna is improved by 0.802 dB on average at the low frequency region (2 to 8 GHz), where the maximum gain increase is 2.932 dB when compared to a conventional TEM horn.

We propose a wavelength filter based on long-range surface plasmon-polaritons (LR-SPP) supported by a asymmetric doubleelectrode LR-SPP structure. For the case of the asymmetric double-layered LR-SPP waveguide, LR-SPPs exist with a much broader range of index mismatches between core and clad materials. Thus, the asymmetric double-electrode LR-SPP waveguide is adequate to form a plasmonic band-gap device as we report in this paper by studying Bragg-reflection wavelength filter based on it. The structure for wavelength filter operating telecommunications wavelength is designed by using the method of line (MoL) and the transfer matrix method. The fabricated device shows a relatively high extinction ratio of 50 dB with a bandwidth of 2 nm, and the performance is very consistent with numerical simulations.

In this paper we proposed the tag antenna with a low performance distortion from an attached surface material using the asymmetric dual-arm dipole antenna(ADDA) structure. The tag is designed to exhibit low performance changes when the tag is attached on a target object(the medical litter receptacle, ${\varepsilon}_r=1.7,\;tan\;{\delta}=0.002$). Detail design parameters for the proposed antenna are optimized to maintain a good readable range in free-space as well as on a target object. The size of the optimized antenna is $100\;mm{\times}50\;mm$. The antenna shows the matching bandwidth($S_{11}$< -10 dB) of 3.7 % and the radiation efficiency of 80 % at the operating frequency. Finally we confirmed the readable range of the tag antenna by measurement and it shows about 5.3 m in free space and 5.5 m on the target object.

We newly proposed a polymer based vertical asymmetric optical coupler, which was characterized by simple fabricating procedure and short coupling length. And we fabricated a thermo-optic modulator using the polymeric optical coupler. We optimized the proposed device by coupling characteristic analysis. In a TE polarized 1.33${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ wavelength, we obtained very short coupling length(L=277.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) with 0.4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thickness of middle layer, high coupling efficiency(94%), and asymmetric vertical waveguides with n$_{u}$ = 1.522, n$_{l}$ = 1.51. We implemented vortical asymmetric thermo-optic modulator with lower inverted rib waveguide and upper slab waveguide. In the 600Hz bandwidth and 4.5㎽ input power, the extinction ratio of the mode was 17㏈ with an insertion loss of 4.5㏈.

A defect of decrease in TCP throughput can be investigated in asymmetric environment of different uplink and downlink bandwidths. Under two-way TCP traffic, the total link utilization is decreased by the successive injection of data packets in buffer. To solve these problems, terminal ACK filtering and packet scheduling mechanisms are introduced in this paper. ACK filtering eliminates the buffered ACK packets and transmits recent ACK packets in the uplink with limited bandwidth. Packet scheduling is the method of preventing 'clustering' and 'ack compression' states which are generated in the two-way TCP traffic. The guarantee of the data traffic in reverse TCP connection and the high throughput in forward TCP connection are investigated by simulation.
