To achieve high-speed (giga-bit) connectivity for short-range wireless multimedia applications, the millimeter-wave (mmWave) wireless personal area networks with directional antennas are gaining increased interest. Due to the use of directional antennas and mmWave communications, the probability of non-interfering transmissions increases in a localized region. Network throughput can be increased immensely by the concurrent time allocation of non-interfering transmissions. The problem of finding optimum time allocation for concurrent transmissions is an NP-hard problem. In this paper, we propose two enhanced versions of previously proposed multi-hop concurrent transmission (MHCT) schemes. To increase network capacity, the proposed schemes efficiently make use of the free holes in the time-allocation map of the MHCT scheme; thus, making it more compact.

IEEE 802.11 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function)는 소스와 목적지 단말의 데이터 전송 절차에 따라 2-way 핸드쉐이크와 4-way 핸드쉐이크 방식을 제공한다. 특정 단말이 채널을 점유할 경우 전송범위 안에 속해 있는 이웃 단말들은 데이터 신호를 수신하여 채널이 점유 중인 것을 감지하고 전송을 연기하게 된다. 하지만 먼저 전송 중인 소스와 목적지 단말에게 충돌을 발생시키지 않는 조건에서 이웃 단말이 동시 전송이 가능하다면 불필요하게 전송을 연기할 필요가 없을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 동시 전송이 가능한 조건에 대하여 연구해보고 이를 만족하는 경우 동시 전송을 수행하는 기법을 제안하였다.

In this paper, when concurrent transmission and diversity reception at each relay are assumed to increase bandwidth efficiency in linear multihop system, we analyze interference due to concurrent transmission and verify it. In the interference-free environment, more diversity sources at each relay result in better performance [1][2]. However, interference degrades BER performance because accumulated and propagated interference power surpasses original data power. Therefore, if we use the result of this paper, we can make bandwidth efficiency increase as well as BER performance good in linear multihop system by considering concurrent transmission with reuse factor and developing the algorithm which determines the number of diversity source.

This paper presents a concurrent channel time allocation scheme used in the reservation period for concurrent transmissions in 60-GHz wireless personal area networks (WPANs). To this end, the proposed resource allocation scheme includes an efficient method for creating a concurrent transmission group by using a table that indicates whether individual streams experience interference from other streams or not. The coordinator device calculates the number of streams that can be concurrently transmitted with each stream and groups them together on the basis of the calculation result. Then, the coordinator device allocates resources to each group such that the streams belonging to the same group can transmit data concurrently. Therefore, when the piconet coordinator (PNC) allocates the channel time to the individual groups, it should allow for maximizing the overall capacity. The performance evaluation result demonstrates that the proposed scheme outperforms the random grouping scheme in terms of the overall capacity when the beamwidth is $30^{\circ}C$ and the radiation efficiency is 0.9.

This paper presents an analysis of resource assignment for multihop communications in millimeter-wave (mm-wave) wireless personal area networks. The purpose of this paper is to figure out the effect of using directional antennas and relaying devices (DEVs) in communications. The analysis is performed based on a grouping algorithm, categorization of the flows, and the relaying DEV selection policy. Three schemes are compared: direct and relaying concurrent transmission (DRCT), direct concurrent transmission (DCT), and direct nonconcurrent transmission (DNCT). Numerical results show that DRCT is better than DCT and DCT is better than DNCT for any antenna beamwidths under the proposed algorithm and policy. The results also show that using relaying DEVs increases the throughput up to 30% and that there is an optimal beamwidth that maximizes spatial reuse and depends on parameters such as the number of flows in the networks. This analysis can provide guidelines for improving the performance of mm-wave band communications with relaying DEVs.

Internet technology opens up another domain for building future CAD/CAM environment. The environment will be global, network-centric, and spatially distributed. In this paper, we present a new approach to network-centric virtual prototyping (NetVP) in a distributed design environment. The presented approach combines the current virtual assembly modeling and analysis technique with distributed computing and communication technology fur supporting virtual prototyping activities over the network. This paper focuses on interoperability, shape representation, and geometric processing for distributed virtual prototyping. STEP standard and CORBA-based interfaces allow the bi-directional communication between the CAD model and virtual prototyping model, which makes it possible to solve the problems of interoperability, heterogeneity of platforms, and data sharing. STEP AP203 and AP214 are utilized as a means of transferring and sharing product models. In addition, Attributed Abstracted B-rep (AAB) is introduced as 3D shape abstraction for transparent and efficient transmission of 3D models and for the maintenance of naming consistency between CAD models and virtual prototyping models over the network.

Multipath routing technique is recognized as one of the effective approaches to improve the reliability of data forwarding. However, the traditional multipath routing focuses only on how many paths are needed to ensure a desired reliability. For this purpose, the protocols construct additional paths and thus cause significant energy consumption. These problems have motivated the study for the energy-efficient and reliable data forwarding. Thus, this paper proposes an energy-efficient concurrent multipath routing protocol with a small number of paths based on interaction between paths. The interaction between paths helps to reinforce the multipath reliability by making efficient use of resources. The protocol selects several nodes located in the radio overlapped area between a pair of paths as bridge nodes for the path-interaction. In order to operate the bridge node efficiently, when the transmission failure has detected by overhearing at each path, it performs recovery transmission to recover the path failure. Simulation results show that proposed protocol is superior to the existing multipath protocols in terms of energy consumption and delivery reliability.

In this paper, we consider a resource allocation scheme for millimeter wave-based wireless personal area networks using directional antennas. This scheme involves scheduling the reservation period of medium access control for IEEE 802.15.3c. Objective functions are considered to minimize the average delay and maximize throughput; and two scheduling algorithms-namely, MInMax concurrent transmission and MAxMin concurrent transmission-are proposed to provide a suboptimal solution to each objective function. These are based on an exclusive region and two decision rules that determine the length of reservation times and the transmission order of groups. Each group consists of flows that are concurrently transmittable via spatial reuse. The algorithms appropriately apply two decision rules according to their objectives. A real video trace is used for the numerical results, which show that the proposed algorithms satisfy their objectives. They outperform other schemes on a range of measures, showing the effect of using a directional antenna. The proposed scheme efficiently supports variable bit rate traffic during the reservation period, reducing resource waste.

The trend of an increasing demand for a high-quality user experience, coupled with a shortage of radio resources, has necessitated more advanced wireless techniques to cooperatively achieve the required quality-of-experience enhancement. In this study, we investigate the critical problem of rate splitting in heterogeneous cellular networks, where concurrent transmission, for instance, the coordinated multipoint transmission and reception of LTE-A systems, shows promise for improvement of network-wide capacity and the user experience. Unlike most current studies, which only deal with spectral efficiency enhancement, we implement an optimal rate splitting strategy to improve both spectral efficiency and energy efficiency by exploring and exploiting cooperation diversity. First, we introduce the motivation for our proposed algorithm, and then employ the typical cooperative bargaining game to formulate the problem. Next, we derive the best response function by analyzing the dual problem of the defined primal problem. The existence and uniqueness of the proposed cooperative bargaining equilibrium are proved, and more importantly, a distributed algorithm is designed to approach the optimal unique solution under mild conditions. Finally, numerical results show a performance improvement for our proposed distributed cooperative rate splitting algorithm.

최근 5G에 기술에서는 신호 감쇄와 신호 도달 거리 확장을 위해 사용될 수 있는 릴레이(Relay)를 통한 통신 기술이 주목 받고 있다. 릴레이는 소형 기지국으로 사용이 가능하며, 셀룰러 망으로 지원하기 어려운 환경하에서 통신 기기들이 협력하여 통신하는 자율 네트워크 기법에 사용이 가능하기 때문에, 저전력화와 무선 용량 증대에 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대되고 있다. 한정된 릴레이 자원을 활용하여 최적의 성능을 달성하기 위해서는 효과적인 릴레이 선택 기법이 필요하다. 특히, 두 개의 노드가 릴레이를 통해 메시지를 교환하는 경우, 릴레이 선택 방법에 따라서, 릴레이의 공간적 위치를 활용하여 간섭을 줄이고, 시스템 전송률을 최대화 할 수 있다. 이를 위해서는 릴레이 선택에 따른 평균 데이터 전송률에 대한 분석이 선행되어야 한다. 본 논문은 두 노드가 릴레이를 이용하여 동시 전송을 통해 메시지를 교환할 경우, 평균 데이터 전송률을 분석한다. 이를 위해 Nakagami-m 페이딩 채널 환경하에서 복호 후 전송(Decode and Forward) 방식으로 동작하는 이중홉(dual-hop) 릴레이의 동시 전송으로 인한 간섭을 고려하여 전체 데이터 전송률을 유도한다. 분석식은 m=1인 Rayleigh 페이딩 채널을 포함하여 다양한 Nakagami-m 페이딩 채널에 대한 전체 데이터 전송률을 보여준다. 유도된 분석은 몬테카를로 모의실험을 통해 정확성을 입증하였으며, 요구되는 데이터 전송률이 높을수록, 자원 효율적인 동시 전송 방식이 전체 시스템의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
