The robustness of a network is usually measured by error tolerance and attack vulnerability. Significant research effort has been devoted to determining the network design with optimal robustness. However, little attention has been paid to the problem of how to improve the robustness of existing networks. In this paper, we investigate how to optimize attack tolerance and communication efficiency of an existing network under the limited link addition. A survival fitness metric is defined to measure both the attack tolerance and the communication efficiency of the network. We show that network topology reconfiguration optimization with limited link addition (NTRLA) problem is NP-hard. Two approximate solution methods are developed. First, we present a degree-fitness parameter to guide degree-based link addition method. Second, a preferential configuration node-protecting cycle (PCNC) method is developed to do trade-off between network robustness and efficiency. The performance of PCNC method is demonstrated by numerical experiments.

This paper proposes a DC-link voltage balance controller using the fourth-phase of a three-level neutral-point clamped (NPC) PWM converter with medium vector selection (MVS) PWM for common-mode voltage reduction. MVS PWM makes the voltage reference by synthesizing the voltage vectors that cannot generate common-mode voltage. This PWM method is effective for reducing the EMI noise emitted from converter systems. However, the DC-link voltage imbalance problem is caused by the use of limited voltage vectors. Therefore, in this paper, the effect of MVS PWM on the DC-link voltage of a three-level NPC converter is analyzed. Then a proportional-derivative (PD) controller for the DC-link voltage balance is designed from the DC-link modeling. In addition, feedforward compensation of the neutral point current is included in the proposed PD controller. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified by experimental results.

해상에서 이동하는 선박들은 가용 채널의 제한으로 지상과의 통신에 많은 제한이 발생하고 있다. 지상에선 무선 중계 시설, 유선 등 기반통신망을 통해 장거리 통신이 가능하게 된다. 또한, 공중에서 운행하는 항공기도 지상 기반통신망 및 고도에 따라 장거리 직선거리(LOS : Line of Sight) 통신이 가능하다. 반면, 해상에서는 해수면까지 직선거리 통신이 제한되기 때문에 위성을 통하거나, 수중에 설치된 통신 중계기기를 통한 통신방식이 연구되어 왔다. 하지만, 위성 혹은 수중 중계방식은 지상시설과 동일 수준의 보안유지 및 대역폭 확보가 제한된다. 본 논문에서는 TCP 기반 링크관절을 이용한 실시간 해상 보안통신에 대해 연구하였다. 열악한 해상 통신환경에서 실시간 통신 및 보안을 제공할 수 있는 링크관절을 제안한다. 본 연구를 통해 해상에서 보다 안전하고 편리하게 통신을 할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다.

A broadcast operation is the fundamental transmission technique in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). Because a broadcast operation can cause a broadcast storm, only selected forwarding nodes have the right to rebroadcast a broadcast message among the one-hop and two-hop neighboring nodes of a sender. This paper proposes the maximum intersection self-pruning (MISP) algorithm to minimize broadcasting redundancy. Herein, an example is given to help describe the main concept of MISP and upper bounds of forward node have been derived based on induction. A simulation conducted demonstrated that when conventional blind flooding (BF), self-pruning (SP), an optimized link state routing (OLSR) multipoint relay (MPR) set, and dominant pruning (DP), are replaced with the MISP in executing Strong duplicate address detection (DAD), the performances in terms of the energy consumption, upper bounds of the number of forward nodes, and message complexity have been improved. In addition, to evaluate the performance in reference to the link error probability, P_e, an enhancement was achieved by computing a proposed retransmission limit, S, for error recovery based on this probability. Retransmission limit control is critical for efficient energy consumption of MANET nodes operating with limited portable energy where Strong DAD reacts differently to link errors based on the operational procedures.

In this paper, design modification was performed to improve the structure of ex-developed 12 D.O.F Biped walking robot, KUBIR-1 similar with human beings. The motion of KUBIR-1 was slow and had a limited walking space. Hence I designed an improved BWR named KUBIR-2 with 12 degree of freedom. KUBIR-2 was designed to solve the following problems of KUBIR-1. First, KUBIR-2 was more simply designed in the four-bar-link mechanism, and its weight was reduced. Second, it had the built-in controller and motor driver. Third, walking velocity of KUBIR-2 was increased by improvement of speed and motion joint angle range. In addition to these, we modified the structure of the foot for more stable walking.

무선 인체 영역 네트워크(WBAN)와 바이오센서를 활용하는 IoT기술은 자원을 최소화 하고 환자를 모니터링 하는 보건산업에서 중요한 분야이다. IoT와 WBAN을 보다 효율적으로 통합하기 위해서는 WBAN의 제한된 자원 센서노드와 효율적인 데이터 전송을 위한 신속 정확한 라우팅을 구성하는 협력 프로토콜이 필요하다. 본 논문은 중복 데이터 전송감지, 제한된 네트워크 센서의 수명연장 문제를 해결하기 위해 에너지 효율적이고 협력이 가능한 링크 에너지 효율적인 라우팅 전략(LEERS)을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 잔류에너지 싱크쪽으로 가는 홉수 노드 혼잡 수준 및 대역폭과 효율적인 매개변수를 고려한다. 또한 노드의 경로비용함수를 결정하고 효과적인 멀티홉 라우팅을 제공함으로서 잔류에너지와 처리량 측면에서 효율성이 향상됨을 보인다.

The Rotterdam Rules provide that port terminal operator may avoid or limit their liability for cargo loss, damage or delay in delivery or breach of any other obligation under the Rules by invoking the provisions that may provide a defence for, or limit the liability of, the carrier. Consequently the port terminal operator who are involved in the provision of maritime services may avoid or limit their liability for cargo loss, damage or delay in delivery or breach of any other obligation under the Rules. The port terminal operator to be applied for the Himalaya clause under the Rules must show that it has the requisite link with a Contracting State. In addition, the port terminal operator performs service to the period of time between the arrival of the goods at the port of loading and their departure from the port of discharge. The port terminal operator's liability for breaches of its obligation is limited to 875 SDR per package or other shipping units, or 3 SDR per kilogram of the gross weight of the goods. In addition, compensation for delay shall be limited to an amount equivalent to two and one-half times the fright payable on the goods delayed.

In this paper, the Selective Harmonic Mitigation-PWM (SHM-PWM) method is used in single-phase and three-phase Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) inverters in order to fulfill different power quality standards such as EN 50160, CIGRE WG 36-05, IEC 61000-3-6 and IEC 61000-2-12. Non-equal DC link voltages are used to increase the degrees of freedom for the proposed SHM-PWM technique. In addition, it will be shown that the obtained solutions become continuous and without sudden changes. As a result, the look-up tables can be significantly reduced. The proposed three-phase modulation method can mitigate up to the 50th harmonic from the output voltage, while each switch has just one switching in a fundamental period. In other words, the switching frequency of the power switches are limited to 50 Hz, which is the lowest switching frequency that can be achieved in the multilevel converters, when the optimal selective harmonic mitigation method is employed. In single-phase mode, the proposed method can successfully mitigate harmonics up to the 50th, where the switching frequency is 150 Hz. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is verified by simulations and experiments on a 9-level CHB inverter.

A novel distributed compress-and-forward (CF) system based on multi-relay network is presented. In this system, as the direct link between the source and destination is invalid due to some reasons, such as the limited power, special working environment, or even economic factors, relays are employed to receive analog signals and carry on distributed compressed encoding. Subsequently, the digital signals are transmitted to the destination via wireless channel. Moreover, a theoretical analysis for the system is provided by utilizing the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) theory and Shannon channel capacity theory, and the rate-distortion function as well as the connection between the transmission rate and the channel capacity are constructed. In addition, an optimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) -based power allocation method is proposed to maximize the quantization SNR under the limited total power. Simulation result shows that the proposed CF system outperforms the amplify-and-forward (AF) system versus the SNR performance.

Recently, need of the parallel manipulator requiring superior precision is increasing for medical application and precision manufacturing. In this study, we convert a given complex translation trajectory of the moving platform into a set of segments and hence a complex motion of the moving platform can be tractable and easily controled in a very limited workspace. In addition force exerted. to each link is minimized so that the minimized force can be transmitted to the end effector of the moving platform. An user friendly program is developed to design Gough-type 6DOF parallel manupulator based on the proposed method.
