This work focuses on the behavior of the overpotential increase due to a utilization rise in a molten carbonate fuel cell. The behavior is generally explained by Nernst loss, which is a kind of voltage loss due to the thermodynamic potential gradients in a polarization state due to the concentration distribution of reactant species through the gas flow direction. The evaluation of Nernst loss is carried out with a traditional experimental method of constant gas utilization (CU). On the other hand, overpotential due to the gas-phase mass-transport resistance at the anode and cathode shows dependence on the utilization, which can be measured using the inert gas step addition (ISA) method. Since the Nernst loss is assumed to be due to the thermodynamic reasons, the voltage loss can be calculated by the Nernst equation, referred to as a simple calculation (SC) in this work. The three values of voltage loss due to CU, ISA, and SC are compared, showing that these values rise with increases in the utilization within acceptable deviations. When we consider that the anode and cathode reactions are significantly affected by the gas-phase mass transfer, the behavior strongly implies that the voltage loss is attributable not to thermodynamic reasons, namely Nernst loss, but to the kinetic reason of mass-transfer resistance in the gas phase.

본 논문에서는 ATM 망에서 사용되고 있는 예방적 트래픽 제어 방법의 하나인, 사용 변수 제어(UPC : Usage Parameter Control)를 ATM 셀(Cell) 헤더(Header)내에 있는 셀 손실 우선순위 정보(Cell Loss Priority Bit)를 기반으로 하는 개선된 UPC 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 ITU-T 1.371에서 정의한 사용 변수 제어 알고리즘을 적용했을 경우 알고리즘의 시작점에 따라 우선순위가 높은 셀(CLP = 0)의 손실률이 크게 차이 날 수 있다는 단점을 제거하였다. 즉 제안한 알고리즘은 우순순위가 높은 셀의 손실률을 최소로 하고, 트래픽의 다중화 및 역다중화 과정에서 발생되는 트래픽의 군집성(Burstiness of the traffic)을 해소할 수 있다는 장점을 갖고 있다. 제안한 알고리즘의 성능 평가를 위해 이산시간 분포를 갖는 입력 트래픽에 대한 모의실험을 행하였고, 그 결과 ITU-T에서 정의한 UPC 알고리즘보다 우수한 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a new buffer management scheme to service delay-sensitive traffic and loss-sensitive traffic fairly in ATM networks. The proposed scheme uses tow buffers for delay-sensitive traffic and loss-sensitive traffic. To satisfy the average delay time of delay-sensitive traffic, cells in real-time buffer are served first. When congestion occurs in nonreal-time buffer, low loss priority cell in real-time buffer can be pushed out by high loss priority cell in nonreal-time buffer can be transferred to real-time buffer considering threshold value in real-time buffer. Using computer simulation, the existing methods and proposed scheme are compared and analyzed with respect to cell loss rate and average delay time. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme have superior performance to conventional schemes.

This paper proposes an ATM switch architecture called Output Queued Batcher-Banyan switch (OQBBS). It consists of a Sorting Module, Expanding Module, and Output Queueing Modules. The principles of channel grouping and output queueing are used to increase the maximum throughput of an ATM switch. One distinctive feature of the OQBBS is that multiple cells can be simultaneously delivered to their desired output. The switch architecture is shown to be modular and easily expandable. The performance of the OQBBS in terms of throughput, cell delays, and cell loss rate under uniform random traffic condition is evaluated by computer simulation. The throughput and the average cell delay are close to the ideal performance behavior of a fully connected output queued crossbar switch. It is also shown that the OQBBS meets the cell loss probability requirement of $10^{-6}$.

ATM망의 스위칭 노드나 ATM멀티플랙서에서는 셀의 헤더내에 있는 1-비트의 CLP(Cell Loss Priority)를 사용하여 우선순위 제어를 함으로써 대역폭의 사용효율을 높인다. 본 논문에서는 기존 공간 우선순위 제어(space priority control) 메카니즘들의 단점들을 보완하고 높은 우선순위 셀의 손실 확률을 줄이기 위한 혼합형 메커니즘을 제안하며 이 메커니즘에 대한 성능을 셀 손실 확률면에서 분석하였다. 제안한 혼합형 메카니즘의 성능 평가는 우선순위 제어가 없는 메카니즘, 축출 메카니즘 및 부분버퍼공유 메카니즘에 대한 셀 손실 확률을 비교하였다. 셀 손실 확률은 M/D/1/N모델링과 2-state MMPP/D/1/N모델링을 사용하여 해석하였으며 이 두 가지 모델링에 대한 비교도 병행하였다. 각 메카니즘에 대한 해석값은 PC의 SIMSCRIPT II.5를 이용한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 검증하였다.

Under most system assumptions, closed form solutions of performance measures for ATM switches with input queueing are not available. In this paper, we present expressions and bounds for the derivatives of cell loss probabilities with respect to the arrival rate evaluated at a zero arrival rate. These bounds are used to give an approximation by Taylor expansion, thereby providing an economical way to estimate cell loss probabilities in light traffic.

In this paper we propose an approximate method to estimate the cell loss probability(CLP) due to buffer overflow in ATM networks. The main idea is to relate the buffer capacity with the CLP target in explicit formula by using the approximate upper bound for the tail distribution of a queue. The significance of the proposition lies in the fact that we can obtain the expected CLP by using only the source traffic data represented by mean rate and its variance. To that purpose we consider the problem of estimating the cell loss measures form the statistical viewpoint such that the probability of cell loss due to buffer overflow does not exceed a target value. In obtaining the exact solution we use a typical matrix analytic method for GI/D/1B queue where B is the queue size. Finally, in order to investigate the accuracy of the result, we present both the approximate and exact results of the numerical computation and give some discussion.

In this paper, performance analysis of video traffic shaper for Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) video traffic in on ATM network are investigated. Traffic shaping for MPEG video traffic is proposed as a traffic control function in ATM networks. The proposed shaper smoothes video traffics by controling the output rate of the buffer, which is placed in an MPEG source, according to I,B,P frame sequences of MPEG. In performance analysis of an video traffic shaper, a periodic botch arrival model is suggested to describe cell streams in a frame of MPEG video traffic. The queueing model which has periodic independent botch arrival and periodic deterministic service time is used to obtain the cell loss ratio, the mean cell delay, and the measure of smoothing effect. Simulation results are used to validate this queueing model. The cell loss performance of ATM multiplexer is measured by simulation study with real MPEG-1 data. From the viewpoint of traffic load, the cell loss ratio is observed to be considerably high, which is considered to result from the burstiness of MPEG video traffic. As a result, it is shown that the shaping decreases cell loss ratio of multiplexer. The results of this paper can be employed to establish a basic guideline in the implementation of a traffic control scheme and the design of ATM multiplexer for MPEG video traffic.
