A safe and reliable protection system in distribution networks, specifically, those hosting distribution generation units, needs a robust over-current protection scheme. To avoid unintentional DG disconnection during fault conditions, a protection system should operate quickly and selectively. Therefore, to achieve this aim, satisfying coordination constraints are important for any protection scheme in distribution networks; these pose a challenging task in interconnected and large-scale networks. In this paper, a new coordination strategy, based on the same non-standard time-current curve for all relays, in order to find optimal coordination of directional over-current relays, is proposed. The main aim is to reduce violations, especially miscoordination between pair relays. Besides this, the overall time of operation of relays during primary and backup operations should be minimized concurrently. This work is being tackled based on genetic algorithms and motivated by the heuristic algorithm. For the numerical analysis, to show the superiority of this coordination strategy, the IEEE 30-bus test system, with a mesh structure and supplemented with distributed generation, is put under extensive simulations, and the obtained results are discussed in depth.

By the enormous increase in mobile nodes and diverse service requests on wireless networks, wireless mesh network(WMN) takes an interest as the solution for such requests. However, lots of issues which should be solved to deploy WMN are still remained. In the network layer, the performance improvement of routing protocols is the major issue of nowadays researches. WMN can be easily deployed by use of protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks(MANET) because it is much similar with MANET in multi-hop wireless routing and which node plays as host and router concurrently. Unfortunately, most routing protocols for MANET have drawbacks such as large traffic overhead and long delay time for route discovery due to the network extension. They are major factors of performance degradation of WMN and most researches are focused on them. In this paper, domain-based AODV which is amended AODV to be applied in hybrid WMN is proposed. The proposed scheme divides a hybrid WMN as several domains and performs route discovery by header layer domain. Therefore it can reduce the distance for route discovery as much as average hop count between domain header and member nodes. From the simulation, domain-based AODV was showed slowly increasing delay time due to the network extension.

In this paper, we propose a Cluster-based Multicast Routing (CMR) suitable for mobile ad-hoc networks. The main features that our proposed method introduces are the following: a) mobility-based clustering and group based hierarchical structure in order to effectively support stability and scalability, b) group based mesh structure and forwarding tree concepts in order to support the robustness of the mesh topologies which provides limited redundancy and the efficiency of tree forwarding simultaneously, and c) combination of proactive and reactive concepts which provide low route acquisition delay and low overhead. The performance evaluation of the proposed protocol is achieved via modeling and simulation. The corresponding results demonstrate the Proposed multicast protocol's efficiency in terms of packet delivery ratio, scalability, control overhead, end-to-end delay, as a function of mobility, multicast group size, and number of senders.

Recently, the small sized wireless terminals have problems of processing of large sized file because of the trends of a small sized terminals and a large sized files. Moreover, the web servers or the file servers have problems of the overload because of the concentration with many number of files to the them. Also, There is a security vulnerability of the data processing caused by the processing with a unit of the independent file. To resolve the problems, this paper proposes a new scheme of fat splining distribution using the P2P networks with the mesh topology. The proposed scheme is to distribute blocks of file into any peer of P2P networks. It can do that the small sized wireless terminals can process the large size file, the overload problems of a web or file servers can solve because of the decentralized files, and, the security vulnerability of the data processing is mitigated because of the distributed processing with a unit of the blocks to the peers.

When big fire in high rise building and multiplex happens, the needs for high prevention system of disaster are being increased for getting the real-time scene state, quick lifesaver, and safe life security. In this paper the proposed evacuation guidance algorithm which analyzed the feature and danger of fire in high rise buildings, gave simplicity and scalability. Our research shows as fire and disaster occur in high rise buildings we construct sensor networks and sense realtime location information on fire alive people, and the situation information for fire instructed quick and safe escaping route by using mesh routing algorithm scheme relative to exit sign.

AMI enables bi-directional exchange of information between utilities and consumers in order to maximize energy efficiency. To enable the AMI, it is essentially required to construct stable communication networks. This paper shows the AMI system based on IEEE 802.11s as one of the communication methods. Experimental results show that the wireless mesh network technology achieves a stable communication performance over a wide coverage.

본 논문에서는 차세대 전술이동통신체계에서의 무선 MSAP Mesh망에서 효율적으로 인증 키를 관리하고 전술이동통신체계의 부하를 줄이는 새로운 혼합형 인증기법을 제안한다. 기존 방식에서 각 MSAP이 체계 접속을 위해서는 중앙집중형 인증기법과 분산형 인증기법을 활용할 수 있는데 각각의 문제점을 안고 있다. 즉, 중앙집중형 인증기법은 MSAP 노드의 빈번한 가입 및 탈퇴로 인한 과다한 지연 문제가 있고 분산형 인증기법은 인증에 필요한 정보를 사전에 공유해야 하는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하는 동시에 전술적인 환경에서 악의적인 MSAP 접속 거부와 네트워크 보안성을 극대화하기 위해서는 보다 효과적인 인증기법이 요구된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 미 인증된 MSAP이 EAP-TLS 기법을 기반으로 전술이동통신 네트워크 진입시 초기인증과 이웃 MSAP간의 상호인증 등 다양한 시나리오를 군의 특수한 환경에 맞추어 구체적으로 제시하고 각 인증 기법의 장 단점을 분석하여 혼합형 인증기법 적용에 타당성을 강조하였다.

This paper presents an investigation of variables that cause spurious cracking in numerical modeling of concrete fracture. Spurious cracks appear due to the approximate nature of numerical modeling. They overestimate the dissipated energy, leading to divergent results with mesh refinement. This paper is limited to quasi-static loading regime, homogeneous models, cracking as the only nonlinear mode of deformation and cracking only due to tensile loading. Under these conditions, some variables that can be related to spurious cracking are: mesh alignment, ductility, crack band width, structure size, mesh refinement and load increment size. Case studies illustrate the effect of each variable and convergence analyses demonstrate that, after all, load-increment size is the most important variable. Theoretically, a sufficiently small load increment is able to eliminate or at least alleviate the detrimental influence of the other variables. Such load-increment size might be prohibitively small, rendering the simulation unfeasible. Hence, this paper proposes two alternatives. First, it is proposed an algorithm that automatically find such small load increment size automatically, which not necessarily avoid large computations. Then, it is proposed a double simulation technique, in which the crack is forced to propagate through the localization zone.

기존의 무선 네트워크에 비해 빠르고 저렴하며 설치가 편리한 무선 메쉬 네트워크를 인터넷망 구성에 도입하려고 하는 것이 최근의 경향이다. 무선 메쉬 네트워크는 이종망간의 네트워크를 통합함으로 수많은 클라이언트들을 통제해야하며 기존의 IPv4 주소는 10년 내에 고갈이 됨으로, IPv6 주소 환경에 적합하게 연구 개발하여야 한다. 그러나 아직 무선 메쉬 네트워크는 개발 중인 기술로써 보완해야할 보안상의 문제점들이 발견되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 무선 메쉬 네트워크에 MIPv6를 어떻게 도입할지를 언급하고 MIPv6 도입 시에 발생하게 되는 보안상의 문제점을 SEND(SEcure Neighbor Discovery)와 MCGAs를 이용하여 해결하는 방법을 소개한다.

무선 메쉬 네트워크(WMN, Wireless Mesh Network)에서의 전체적인 성능은 채널의 간섭을 최소화함으로써 개선될 수 있다. 본 논문은 3개의 멀티 채널을 지원하는 IEEE 802.11b/g 기반 WMNs를 위해 제안된 클러스터 기반 채널 할당 기법인 CB-CA(Cluster-Based Channel Assignment)[3] 알고리즘을 멀티 라디오 멀티 채널 WMN 환경에 적합하게 개선시키고자 한다. CB-CA 알고리즘에서는 메쉬 라우터들중에 선택된 클러스터 헤드(CH, Cluster Head) 노드들과 클러스터들 간의 에지 게이트웨이(EG, Edge Gateway) 노드들 간에는 모두 동일 채널을 사용함으로써 채널 스캐닝과 채널 스위칭을 수행하지 않는다. 그러나 이러한 모든 CH들과 EG들 간의 동일 채널의 사용은 많은 노드들에서 채널 간섭을 발생 시키는 문제점이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 송수신 인터페이스를 구분하고 각 인터페이스에서의 채널을 랜덤하게 설정하고 이를 통신 범위 내에 인접한 이웃 클러스터들에게 알림으로써 서로 간섭이 발생하지 않는 채널들이 설정되도록 한다. 이로써 각 클러스터 간의 채널 간섭을 최소화 할 수 있음과 동시에 다중 인터페이스와 다중 채널을 모두 활용할 수 있어서 QoS를 향상시킬 수있다.
