Measurement of deflections of certain bridges is usually hampered by corruption of the GPS signal by multipath associated with passing vehicles, resulting to unrealistically large apparent displacements. Field data from the Gorgopotamos train bridge in Greece and systematic experiments revealed that such bias is due to superimposition of two major effects, (i) changes in the geometry of satellites because of partial masking of certain satellites by the passing vehicles (this effect can be faced with solutions excluding satellites that get temporarily blocked by passing vehicles) and (ii) dynamic multipath caused from reflection of satellite signals on the passing trains, a high frequency multipath effect, different from the static multipath. Dynamic multipath seems to have rather irregular amplitude, depending on the geometry of measured satellites, but a typical pattern, mainly consisting of a baseline offset, wide base peaks correlating with the sequence of main reflective surfaces of the vehicles passing next to the antenna. In cases of limited corruption of GPS signal by dynamic multipath, corresponding to scale distortion of the short-period component of the GPS waveforms, we propose an algorithm which permits to reconstruct the waveform of bridge deflections using a weak fusion of GPS and RTS data, based on the complementary characteristics of the two instruments. By application of the proposed algorithm we managed to extract semi-static and dynamic displacements and oscillation frequencies of a historical railway bridge under train loading by using noisy GPS and RTS recordings. The combination of GPS and RTS is possible because these two sensors can be fully collocated and have complementary characteristics, with RTS and GPS focusing on the long- and short-period characteristics of the displacement, respectively.

Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) have emerged as a promising solution to the problem of spectrum under utilization and artificial radio spectrum scarcity. The paradigm of dynamic spectrum access allows a secondary network comprising of secondary users (SUs) to coexist with a primary network comprising of licensed primary users (PUs) subject to the condition that SUs do not cause any interference to the primary network. Since it is necessary for SUs to avoid any interference to the primary network, PU activity precludes attempts of SUs to access the licensed spectrum and forces frequent channel switching for SUs. This dynamic nature of CRNs, coupled with the possibility that an SU may not share a common channel with all its neighbors, makes the task of multicast routing especially challenging. In this work, we have proposed a novel multipath on-demand multicast routing protocol for CRNs. The approach of multipath routing, although commonly used in unicast routing, has not been explored for multicasting earlier. Motivated by the fact that CRNs have highly dynamic conditions, whose parameters are often unknown, the multicast routing problem is modeled in the reinforcement learning based framework of learning automata. Simulation results demonstrate that the approach of multipath multicasting is feasible, with our proposed protocol showing a superior performance to a baseline state-of-the-art CRN multicasting protocol.

Ad hoc Network에서 효율적인 데이터 트래픽의 전송을 위하여 AODV 라우팅 알고리즘을 보안한 DM-AODV(Disjoint Multipath AODV)와 이를 활용하여 Qos율 높인 트래픽 분산 알고리즘인 TPA(Traffic Partitioning Algorithm)을 제안한다. 첫째, dynamic한 Ad hoc network환경에서 사용될 수 있는 DM-AODV을 사용하여 중복 노드가 없는 multipath들과 그 경로 각각의 최소 대역폭(bandwidth)을 구하고 둘째, 소스 노드에 들어오는 트래픽의 요구 대역폭과 TPA을 사용하여, 네트워크가 정상 일 때 전달 될 main path들과 네트워크 장애 시 할당 될 alternative path들에 들어오는 트래픽을 dynamic하게 분산시킴으로써 어플리케이션이 요구하는 높은 대역폭의 트래픽 수용 가능성을 높이고, 들어오는 트래픽의 안정적인 대역폭 보장과 속도의 향상, 폭주(congestion)의 감소 효과를 나타낸다. 또한 Main path에 장애 발생시, 미리 계산된 alternative Path에 트래픽을 전송함으로서 들어오는 패킷의 손실을 최소한으로 한다. 본 논문에서는 Ad hoc network에서의 QoS를 높이는 두 알고리즘을 소개하고, 동작 원리를 알아본다.

A mulitpath MIN(Multistage Interconnection Network), CSMP(Chained Shuffle Multi-Path) network, is proposed, having fault-tolerance and dynamic reroutability. The number of stages and the number of links between adjacent stagges are the same as in single path MINs, so the overall hardware complexity is considerably reduced in comparison with other multipath MINs. The CSMP networks feature links between switches belonging to the same state, forming loops of switches. The network can tolerate multiple faults, up to (N/4)*(log$_2$N-1), having occured in any stages including the first and the last ones(N:NO. of input). To analyze reliability, terminal reliability (TR) and mean time to failure( MTTE) age given for the networks, and the TR figures are compared to those of other static and dynamic rerouting multipath MINs. Also the MTTE figures are compared. The performance of the proposed network with respect to its bandwidth (BW) and probability of acceptance(PA) is analyzed and is compared to that of other more complex multipath MINs. The cost efficiency analysis of reliability and performance shows that the network is more cost-effective than other previously proposed fault-tolerant multipath MINs.

This paper presents a new baseband modulation system for the reception improvement of VSB system in dynamic multipath channel. By introducing the 1/2 Trellis Coded Modulation in baseband modulation, the TOV of proposed modulation is improved very much compared with 8-VSB modulation and better than the pseudo 2-VSB modulation of Philips which is the most robust modulation for VSB transmission system as far. Through the computer simulation, the performance of the proposed modulation is examined and the results are shown.

The multipath multistage interconnection network is proposed which has the capability of dynamic rerouting. Construction of the network gets simpler, and the number of stages is reduced to $LOG_{2}$(N), so hardware complexity is reduced. This proposed algorithm makes it possible that destination adresses are used as routing tags, and it is easy to set up the path. Because this proposed network has a dynamic rerouting, backtracking is not necessary to set up another path when conflicts of switch faults are occurred. To estimate a performance, analytic methods are used and it is proved that probability of acceptance is improved in this Multipath MIN.

Recent advancements in network infrastructures provide increased opportunities to support data delivery over multiple paths. Compared with multi-homing scenario, overlay network is regarded as an effective way to construct multiple paths between end devices without any change on the underlying network. Exploiting multipath characteristics has been explored for TCP with multi-homing device, but the corresponding exploration with overlay network has not been studied in detail yet. Motivated by improving quality of experience (QoE) for reliable data delivery, we propose a multipath message transport protocol based on application level relay (MPMTP-AR). MPMTP-AR proposes mechanisms and algorithms to support basic operations of multipath transmission. Dynamic feedback provides a foundation to distribute reasonable load to each path. Common source decrease (CSD) takes the load weight of the path with congestion into consideration to adjust congestion window. MPMTP-AR uses two-level sending buffer to ensure independence between paths and utilizes two-level receiving buffer to improve queuing performance. Finally, the MPMTP-AR is implemented on the Linux platform and evaluated by comprehensive experiments.

Single path routing schemes using dynamic routing metric amy find out the dynamic network status and recompute paths to keep the traffic from the highly loaded regions of the network. This type of routing approach, however, may lead to a routing oscillation, and further, it cannot exploit multi-paths that may frequently exist in the real network. We propose a multipath routing scheme with dynamic load balancing, called MP-DLB, which is capable of reducing the overhead incurred by the multipath routing with dynamic load balancing approach while taking advantage of the high routing performance provided by the approach. According to the analysis of Internet packet traces which show that a high percentage of network traffic is destined for a small number of networks, MP-DLB applies the multipath routing with dynamic load balancing only to a limited subset of all the destinations in the network. For the rest of the destinations, it applies traditional single path routing scheme. This approach may reduce overall routing overheads by limiting the number of destinations to apply the more complicated routing scheme while it can keep the routing performance high by providing efficient routing for the most significant traffic in the routing performance. A series of simulations are done to analyze the performance of MP-DLB. The simulation results show that MP-DLB may effectively cope with the congestion and achieve high routing performance by distributing traffic streams that are generated from varying sources and heading toward a specific hot destination over multi-paths.

With the invention of MPLS and the Improvement in traffic engineering, multipath packet forwarding and dynamic load control has become a reality. A dynamic load control, while it can improve network efficiency by controlling loads between paths according to the network state, can lead to unstable and oscillating state because of the staleness of the state information. In this paper, we propose a efficient load control scheme which remains stable. The proposed scheme introduces prediction to reduce the staleness of state message and to prevent oscillation.

This paper presents a mobile measurement technique of the ghost-flutter caused in mobile television reception. The ghost-flutter is caused by timing variation of the television horizontal synchronizing pulse due to frequency selective fading in a multipath propagation environment. The ghost-flutter can be detected by measuring the dynamic timing variation of horizontal synchronizing pulse. Especially, in this paper, a technique for measuring horizontal synchronizing timing fluctuations which cause the ghost-flutter is developed, using a Rubidium oscillator as a time standard with high stability.
