In this paper, we introduce a new method to reduce the inter-channel crosstalk in visible light communication (VLC) systems using the synchronizing pulses transmitted through the power lines. Synchronizing pulses are simultaneously transmitted to multiple VLC transmitters and receivers through the 220V power line. Each VLC transmitter modulates an LED and each VLC receiver demodulates the signal light in the time slot that is allocated with reference to the synchronizing pulses. This method is very simple and effective to prevent the inter-channel crosstalk in VLC systems for sensor networks because every VLC system can easily get the synchronizing pulses from the nearby power line.

The medical industries are integrated with information technology with mobile devices and wireless communication. The advent of mobile healthcare systems can benefit patients and hospitals, by not only providing better quality of patient care, but also by reducing administrative and medical costs for both patients and hospitals. Security issues present an interesting research topic in wireless and pervasive healthcare networks. As information technology is developed, many organizations such as government agencies, public institutions, and corporations have employed an information system to enhance the efficiency of their work processes. For the past few years, healthcare organizations throughout the world have been adopting health information systems (HIS) based on the wireless network infrastructure. As a part of the wireless network, a mobile agent has been employed at a large scale in hospitals due to its outstanding mobility. Several vulnerabilities and security requirements related to mobile devices should be considered in implementing mobile services in the hospital environment. Secure authentication and protocols with a mobile agent for applying ubiquitous sensor networks in a healthcare system environment is proposed and analyzed in this paper.

This paper considers a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) power line communication (PLC) network where interference alignment (IA) technique is used to mitigate the interference that arises in multi-user networks. IA as a precoding technique requires perfect channel state information (CSI) to achieve maximum multiplexing gain. Due to the common-mode reception at the receiver ports, we assume imperfect CSI for the IA precoding design. Here, the CSI is quantized and sent via feedback to the transmit ports. For different levels of CSI quantization, we evaluate the performance of various IA algorithms via Monte Carlo simulations. Simulation results reveal the superior performance of the proposed scheme due to common-mode reception in IA MIMO PLC networks. It is shown that for a quantization level of 5 bits, the CM reception improves the sum-rate by up to 70%.

The explosive wireless data service requirement accompanied with carbon dioxide emission and consumption of traditional energy has put pressure on both industria and academia. Wireless networks powered with the uneven and intermittent generated renewable energy have been widely researched and lead to a new research paradigm called green communication. In this paper, we comprehensively consider the total generated renewable energy, QoS requirement and channel quality, then propose a utility based renewable energy allocation policy. The utility here means the satisfaction degree of users with a certain amount allocated renewable energy. The energy allocation problem is formulated as a constraint optimization problem and a heuristic algorithm with low complexity is derived to solve the raised problem. Numerical results show that the renewable energy allocation policy is applicable not only to soft QoS, but also to hard QoS and best effort QoS. When the renewable energy is very scarce, only users with good channel quality can achieve allocated energy.

Reducing the interference to the licensed mobile users and obtaining the energy efficiency are key issues in cognitive heterogeneous networks. A corresponding rate loss constraint is proposed to be used for the sensing-based spectrum sharing (SBSS) model in cognitive heterogeneous networks in this paper. Resource allocation optimization strategy is designed for the maximum energy efficiency under the proposed interference constraint together with average transmission power constraint. An efficiency algorithm is studied to maximize energy efficiency due to the nonconvex optimal problem. Furthermore, the relationship between the proposed protection criterion and the conventional interference constraint strategy under imperfect sensing condition for the SBSS model is also investigated, and we found that the conventional interference threshold can be regarded as the upper bound of the maximum rate loss that the primary user could tolerate. Simulation results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed protection criterion overcome the conventional interference power constraint.

In this paper, we investigate survivability in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) mesh networks and propose a new algorithm called improved shared-path protection (ISPP) to completely tolerate the double-link failures. Compared with previous algorithms for protecting double-link failures, i.e., shared-path protection (SPP) and shared-link protection (SLP), the advantage of ISPP is to allow primary paths and backup paths to share the mixed wavelength-links based on the proposed new rules in which some primary wavelength-links can be changed to mixed wavelength-links, which can be shared by primary paths and backup paths. In addition, some mixed wavelength-links also can be shared by different backup paths for saving resources. Simulation results show that ISPP algorithm performs better in resource utilization ratio and blocking probability than conventional SPP and SLP algorithms.

In this paper, we derive analytical closed results for the first (a, b)-KA index, the Sombor index, the modified Sombor index, the first reduced (a, b)-KA index, the reduced Sombor index, the reduced modified Sombor index, the second reduced (a, b)-KA index and the mean Sombor index mSO_α for the OTIS biswapped networks by considering basis graphs as path, wheel graph, complete bipartite graph and r-regular graphs. Network theory plays a significant role in electronic and electrical engineering, such as signal processing, networking, communication theory, and so on. A topological index (TI) is a real number associated with graph networks that correlates chemical networks with a variety of physical and chemical properties as well as chemical reactivity. The Optical Transpose Interconnection System (OTIS) network has recently received increased interest due to its potential uses in parallel and distributed systems.

LED(Light Emitting Diode) 소자는 현대 기술의 발달로 형광등이나 전구보다 수명이 길고 전력소모가 작으며 제어가 쉽다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 이유로 LED 소자를 이용한 조명이 많이 사용되고 있다. 최근 LED 소자의 고속응답특성을 이용한 통신기법인 가시광통신(Visible Light Communication, 이하 VLC)이 주목받기 시작하였다. VLC의 경우 전파를 사용하지 않아 주파수 할당이 필요가 없으며, 데이터전송에 ISM(Industrial Scientific Medical band)과 같은 간섭 또한 존재하지 않는다. 그렇기 때문에 VLC에 관한 연구 결과가 많이 나오고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 LED 조명을 사용한 VLC와 수중환경에서의 VLC에 대한 survey를 진행하고 활용방법을 살펴보았다.

커뮤니티 네트워크는 이기종(heterogeneous) 노드들이 시간과 장소에 구애받지 않고 정보를 공유할 수 있는 통신 환경을 말한다. 이를 위해 이동 노드들은 사전에 구성된 통신 인프라 시설에 의존하지 않고 자가 구성될 수 있어야 하고 노드의 이동성으로 인해 변경되는 네트워크 토폴로지에 적응할 수 있어야 한다. 준-인프라 기반 무선 애드-혹 네트워크는 이러한 요구사항을 지원하기에 적합한 통신 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 준-인프라기반 애드-혹 네트워크 프로토콜의 실험에 용이한 평가 도구인 VTC(virtual topology coordinator) 시스템을 제안한다. VTC는 모든 통신장비간 단일 홉 통신만이 가능한 작은 공간에서도 선택적 MAC(Medium Access Control) 프레임 수신 메커니즘을 이용하여 다중 홉 네트워크 토폴로지를 가상으로 구성하도록 해준다. VTC 시스템은 실제의 무선 특성을 모두 반영하기는 어려우나 시뮬레이션을 통한 검증보다는 실 특성을 보다 다양하게 반영시킬 수 있다.

전자무역 기술 관련 동향의 흐름은 기능적이고 계층적 측면으로 서비스와 어플리케이션, 네트워크계층으로 발전해 가고 있는데, 대부분의 계층적 분야가 전자무역 확산이 본격화되기 이전에 정립되다 보니 기존의 체계는 국제교역 관점의 기술을 포괄하는데 한계가 있게 되었다. 따라서 이 같은 한계를 극복하기 위해 새로운 기술 동향의 정책 정립이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 기술 분야의 기업간 통합을 포함하여 내부적 네트워크 및 이에 따른 문제점과 개선방안을 제시하였다. 또한, 전자무역이 새로운 기술 환경에서 제공하는 가능성과 이것이 기업들에 미치는 효과를 제시하였다.
