This paper presents a fault location algorithm using direct 3-phase circuit analysis for distribution power networks. The unbalanced feature of distribution networks due to single phase loads or asymmetric operation prohibits us from using the conventional symmetrical component transformation. Even though the symmetrical component transformation provides us with a very easy tool in three phase network analysis, it is limited to balanced systems in utilizing its strong point, which is not suitable for distribution networks. In this paper, a fault location algorithm using direct 3-phase circuit analysis is developed. The algorithm is derived and it Is shown that the proposed method if we use matrix inverse lemma, is not more difficult then the conventional methods using symmetrical component transformation. Since the symmetrical component transformation is not used in the suggested method, unbalanced networks also can be handled with the same difficulty as balanced networks. The case study results show the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper studies relay selection and power allocation for amplify-and-forward (AF) based two-way relay networks (TWRN) with asymmetric traffic requirements (ATR). A joint relay selection and power allocation algorithm is proposed to decrease the outage probability of TWRN with ATR. In this algorithm, two sources exchange information with the help of the relay during two time slots. We first calculate the optimal power allocation parameters based on instantaneous channel state information (CSI), and then derive a tight lower bound of outage probability. Furthermore, we propose a simplified relay selection criterion, which can be easily calculated as harmonic mean of instantaneous channel gains, according to the outage probability expressions. Simulation results verified the theoretical analyses we presented. It is shown that the outage probability of our algorithm improves 3-4dB comparing with that of other existing algorithms, and the lower bound is tight comparing with actual value for the entire signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region.

Controlling the production of diverse cell/tissue types is essential for the development of multicellular organisms such as animals and plants. The Arabidopsis thaliana root, which contains distinct cells/tissues along longitudinal and radial axes, has served as an elegant model to investigate how genetic programs and environmental signals interact to produce different cell/tissue types. In the root, a series of asymmetric cell divisions (ACDs) give rise to three ground tissue layers at maturity (endodermis, middle cortex, and cortex). Because the middle cortex is formed by a periclinal (parallel to the axis) ACD of the endodermis around 7 to 14 days post-germination, middle cortex formation is used as a parameter to assess maturation of the root ground tissue. Molecular, genetic, and physiological studies have revealed that the control of the timing and extent of middle cortex formation during root maturation relies on the interaction of plant hormones and transcription factors. In particular, abscisic acid and gibberellin act synergistically to regulate the timing and extent of middle cortex formation, unlike their typical antagonism. The SHORT-ROOT, SCARECROW, SCARECROW-LIKE 3, and DELLA transcription factors, all of which belong to the plant-specific GRAS family, play key roles in the regulation of middle cortex formation. Recently, two additional transcription factors, SEUSS and GA- AND ABA-RESPONSIVE ZINC FINGER, have also been characterized during ground tissue maturation. In this review, we provide a detailed account of the regulatory networks that control the timing and extent of middle cortex formation during post-embryonic root development.

There exist several types of distributed subscriber networks using Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line(ADSL), Very high -bit rate Digital subscriber Line(VDSL), and Data Oner Cable Service Interface Specifications(DOCSIS). The efficient and concentrated network management of those several distributed subscribers networks and resources requires the general management information model of network, which has abstract and conceptual managed objects of the heterogeneous networks and its equipment to manage the integrated subscriber network. This paper presents the general Internet subscribers network modeling framework using RM-ODP to manage that network in the form of integrated hierarchy. This paper adopts the object-oriented development methodology with UML and designs and implements the HFC network of DOCSIS as an example of the subscriber network.

Delay estimation is a difficult Problem in computer networks. Accurate one-way delay estimation is crucial because it serves a very important role in network performance and thus application design. RTT(Round Trip Time) is often used as an approximation of the delay, but because it is a sum of the forward and reverse delays, the actual one-way delay cannot be estimated accurately from RTT. To estimate one-way delay accurately, this paper proposes a new scheme that analytically derives one-way delay, forward and reverse delay respectively. We show that the performance of TCP can improve dramatically in asymmetric networks using our scheme. A key contribution of this paper is that our one-way deiay estimation is much more accurate than RTT estimation so that TCP can quickly find the network capacity in the slow start phase. Since RTT is the sum of the forward and reverse delays, our scheme can be applied to any protocol that is based on RTT.

A two-way relaying (TWR) system is analyzed, where two source terminals with unequal numbers of antennas exchange data via an amplify-and-forward relay terminal with a single antenna. In the system considered herein, the link quality between the sources and relay can generally be asymmetric due to the nonidentical antenna configuration, power allocation, and relay location. In such a general setup, accurate bounds on the average sum rate (ASR) are derived when beamforming or orthogonal space time block coding is employed at the sources. We show that the proposed bounds are almost indistinguishable from the exact ASR under various system configurations. It is also observed that the ASR performance of the TWR system with unequal numbers of source antennas is more sensitive to the relay location than to the power allocation.

In this paper, we propose a new parallel computer topology, called the postorder Fibonacci circulants and analyze its properties. It is compared with Fibonacci cubes, when its number of nodes and its degree is kept the same of comparable one. Its diameter is improved from n-2 to [$\frac{n}{3}$] and a its topology is changed from asymmetric to symmetric. It includes Fibonacci cube as a spanning tree.

In this paper, we propose and analyze a new parallel computer topology, called the Fibonacci posterorder circulants. It connects ${\Large f}_x,\;n{\geq}2$ processing nodes, same the number of nodes used in a comparable Fibonacci cube. Yet its diameter is only ${\lfloor}\frac{n}{3}{\rfloor}$ almost one third that of the Fibonacci cube. Fibonacci cube is asymmetric, but it is a regular and symmetric static interconnection networks for large-scale, loosely coupled systems. It includes scalability and Fibonacci cube as a spanning subgraph.

CSMA/CA를 기반으로 하고 있는 802.11 MAC 프로토콜에서는 RTS/CTS를 이용한 reservation 기법으로 medium을 공유하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 기법은 모든 노드의 송/수신 범위가 같을 때만 유효하다. 현실적으로 송/수신기와 안테나 특성, shading 효과 등으로 인하여 노드의 송/수신 범위가 달라지기 때문에 비대칭 링크가 발생하고, 이 경우 데이터 충돌이 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 환경하에서 MAC 계층 패킷의 층돌을 방지하기 위해 BTS(Block-to-Send) 패킷을 도입하여 비대칭 링크 노드의 데이터 전송을 막는 기법을 제안한다.

현재 ad hoc 라우팅 프로토콜들은 두 노드사이의 동일한 전파 전송 영역을 가정한 대칭 링크만을 지원하는데 반해 이동 ad hoc 망에서는 각각의 노드들의 전파 전송 영역의 차이로 인해 잦은 비대칭 링크가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 라우팅 프로토콜의 성능을 향상 시키고 비대칭 라우팅 프로토콜을 구현하기 위한 링3설정 알고리즘을 제시한다. 이를 기존 AODV 라우팅 프로토콜에 적용한 경우를 GlomoSim을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 성능 평가하였다.
