In this paper, we investigate the capture effect through experiments conducted with Iris nodes equipped with AT86RF230 radio transceivers. It is shown that the first arriving packet in a collision can capture the radio channel for equal power transmissions and may be decoded depending on the amount of overlap. A new 3-packet-capture scenario is introduced and implemented. To be able to understand the impact of capture on the throughput performance of wireless sensor networks, we present an analysis of the capture coefficient using our practical results. For real-world implementations, the throughput of pure ALOHA considering a finite number of users is presented in analytical form. The capture coefficient is then applied to pure ALOHA as a case study. Using analytical and practical implementations of the capture effect on ALOHA, a very good match in channel throughput performance enhancement is demonstrated over the non-capture effect case. TinyOS-2.x is used to program the nodes and to observe data exchange on a computer through a base station.

This paper proposed a systematic analysis for slotted ALOHA with capture effect. This is a generalization for slotted ALOHA system. Based on this model, we can increase the maximum through-put of slotted ALOHA system with two power levels. Lee's algorithm is consider to be an extension of ALOHA system with capture effect. In this paper, we showed that, the choice of Lee's algorithm is not an optimum one. Based on the previous experimental results, we proposed here a more practical analysis for slotted ALOHA system. The result is very accurate and can be applied to other wireless systems which also employed capture effect.

In RFID systems, one important issue is how to effectively address tag collision, which occurs when multiple tags reply simultaneously to a reader, so that all the tags are correctly identified. However, most existing anti-collision protocols assume isotropic collisions where a reader cannot detect any of the tags from the collided signals. In practice, this assumption turns out to be too pessimistic since the capture effect may take place, in which the reader considers the strongest signal as a successful transmission and the others as interference. In this case, the reader disregards the other collided tags, and in turn, fails to read the tag(s) with weaker signal(s). In this paper, we propose a capture effect-aware anti-collision protocol, called Multi-Round Collision Tree (MRCT) protocol, which efficiently identifies the tags in real RFID environments. MRCT deals with the capture effect as well as channel error by employing a multi-round based identification algorithm. We also analyze the performance of MRCT in terms of the number of slots required for identifying all tags. The simulation results show that MRCT significantly outperforms the existing protocol especially in a practical environment where the capture effect occurs.

This work presents a deterministic channel that rules according to inverse a power propagation law. The proposed channel model allows us to derive the lower bound and upper bound of packet's capture probability in Rayleigh fading and shadowing cellular mobile system. According to these capture probabilities, we analyze the system performance in the case of finite stations and finite communicated coverage of a base station. We also adopted a dynamic backoff window size to discuss the robustness of IEEE 802.11 draft standard. Some suggestions and conclusions from numerical results are given to establish the more strong CSMA/CA protocol.

Direct Containment Heating, DCH, is supposed to occur during a core melt-down accident if the primary system pressure is still high at the time of vessel breach in a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). In this case, DCH is considered to be one of very important severe phenomena during postulated severe accident scenario because of the fast heat transfer rate to atmosphere and the sharp pressure increase in a containment. To reduce the effect of this DCH phenomena, the capture volume wes designed at Ulchin NPP units 3 and 4. But, the effect of this has not been studied extensively. This work consists of experimental and numerical analyses of the effects of capture volume in the cavity on DCH phenomena. The experimental model is a 1/30 scaled-down model of Ulchin NPP units 3 and 4. We used three types of capture volumes to investigate the effect of size. Numerical analysis using CONTAIN 1.2 is performed with the correlation for the dispersed fraction of molten corium from the cavity into the containment derived from the experimental data to examine the effect of capture volume on DCH phenomena in full scale of Ulchin NPP units 3 and 4.

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.

802.11 무선랜의 편리함으로 인해 무선랜의 광범위한 보급은 WiFi가 오늘날 인터넷 접근 기술에서 없어서는 안 될 부분이 되었다. 인터넷 접근 망의 연구는 단대단 성능에 지대한 영향을 미치는 중요한 역할을 함에도 불구하고 과거 연구는 캡쳐 효과(capture effect)로 기인한 오작동에 대한 충분한 고려없이 MAC 프로토콜의 성능향상, 분석 또는 시뮬레이션 평가를 수행해 왔다. 또한, 캡쳐 효과는 무선 환경에서 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며 노드 간에 불평등을 초래하는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 그래서, 우리는 그러한 불평등한 환경 하에서 형평성(fairness)을 제공할 수 있는 Fair MAC 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한, 노드간에 형평성을 유지함과 동시에 시스템 전체 처리율(throughput)을 최대화되도록 한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안된 Fair MAC 알고리즘이 처리율 감소 없이 형평성을 달성하는 것을 보여 준다.

The vortex ventilation system (VV) which uses a rotating finned swirler installed coaxially with the exhaust duct is a very effective local ventilator. VV can enhance the capture depth by a factor of 3-5 compared to the conventional exhaust hood, in the absence of any solid walls nearby. In real situations there may exist ceiling, side wall and floor, all of which can affect the flow field and suction performance by way of the no-slip condition on the walls. 3D CFD simulation was performed in order to see the effect of the floor on the capture performance of the VV. The presence of floor reduced suction flow velocity, and increased the critical rotational speed which is the rotational speed required for stable vortex formation. Flow velocity profile along the axis could be well approximated by a universal functional form when the distance from the exhaust inlet is non-dimensionalized by the distance to the floor. Capture depth, define by the distance from the exhaust inlet to a point of velocity decreased to 10% of that at the inlet, is reduced by about 10% when the floor distance is 6 times the exhaust hood diameter.

본 논문에서는 레일리 페이딩(Raylelgh fading)과 산란효과(Scattering effect), 원근효과(Near-far effect)를 고려한 무선 채널환경에서 CSMA/CD(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) 시스템의 성능을 분석하였다. 또한 전파 특성에 따른 신호 전력의 불규칙성을 이용한 포획기술(capture effect)을 CSMA/CD 프로토콜에 적용시켰고, 마르코프(Markov) 모델링을 이용하여 성능의 향상 정도를 연구하였다. 그 결과 무선환경에 기인한 채널 오류만을 고려한 경우에는 CSMA/CD 시스템의 효율은 저하됨이 나타났으나 포획효과를 고려하면 시스템의 성능이 향상됨은 물론, 시스템이 매우 안정화됨을 확인하였다.
