Ubiquitous location based services (u-LBS) will be interested to an important services. They can easily recognize object position at anytime, anywhere. At present, many researchers are making a study of the position recognition and tracking. This paper consists of postion recognition and user identification system. The position recognition is based on location under services (LBS) using a signal strength map, a database is previously made use of empirical measured received signal strength indicator (RSSI). The user identification system automatically controls instruments which is located in home. Moreover users are able to measures body signal freely. We implemented the multi-hop routing method using the Star-Mesh networks. Also, we use the sensor devices which are satisfied with the IEEE 802.15.4 specification. The used devices are the Nano-24 modules in Octacomm Co. Ltd. A RSSI is very important factor in position recognition analysis. It makes use of the way that decides position recognition and user identification in narrow indoor space. In experiments, we can analyze properties of the RSSI, draw the parameter about position recognition. The experimental result is that RSSI value is attenuated according to increasing distances. It also derives property of the radio frequency (RF) signal. Moreover, we express the monitoring program using the Microsoft C#. Finally, the proposed methods are expected to protect a sudden death and an accident in home.

Failures in optical networks that have huge transmission capability provoke service discontinuitH and thus large economical damage. Even though many algorithms are proposed for protection and restoration on a single failure, there are few algorithms for multiple failures. Eulerian tour is known to be effective to protect and restore a single failure in the literature. This paper proposes an algorithm that can perform efficient protection and restoration for multiple failures based on combined Eulerian tours. The proposed one is very effective on protection and restoration in general cases with two failures, and the comprehensive computer simulation shows that the restoration rate increases up to about 90%.

The conventional object tracking techniques using PTZ camera detects object movements by analyzing acquired image. However, this technique requires expensive hardware devices to perform a complex image processing. And it is occasionally hard to detect object movements, if an acquired image is low quality or image acquisition is impossible. In this paper, we proposes a smart security CCTV system applying to wireless sensor network technique based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard to overcome the problems of conventional object tracking technique, which enables to track suspicious objects by detecting object movements and GPS data in sensor node. This system enables an efficient control of PTZ camera to observe a wide area, decreasing image processing complexity. Also, wireless sensor network is implemented using mesh networks to increase the efficiency of installing sensor node.

This paper studies network recovery methods for WDM optical mesh networks, concentrating on improving spare resource utilization. The resource efficiency can be obtained by sharing spare resources needed for network recovery. To improve the sharability of spare resources in WDM networks, methods to share backup paths us well as spare capacity should be studied. The proposed method in this paper uses multiple ring-covers and this method provides fast and simple recovery operation by exploiting the characteristics of logical ring topology, and also provides efficient resource utilization by using multiple distributed backup paths to improve the sharability of overall spare resources in the networks. This method can provide layered reliability to network service by enabling hierarchical robustness against multiple failures. The performance results show that the proposed method provide improved resource efficiency for single failure and enhanced robustness for multiple failures.

Many studies have investigated the smart grid architecture and communication models in the past few years. However, the communication model and architecture for a smart grid still remain unclear. Today's electric power distribution is very complex and maladapted because of the lack of efficient and cost-effective energy generation, distribution, and consumption management systems. A wireless smart grid communication system can play an important role in achieving these goals. In this paper, we describe a smart grid communication architecture in which we merge customers and distributors into a single domain. In the proposed architecture, all the home area networks, neighborhood area networks, and local electrical equipment form a local wireless mesh network (LWMN). Each device or meter can act as a source, router, or relay. The data generated in any node (device/meter) reaches the data collector via other nodes. The data collector transmits this data via the access point of a wide area network (WAN). Finally, data is transferred to the service provider or to the control center of the smart grid. We propose a wireless cooperative communication model for the LWMN.We deploy a limited number of smart relays to improve the performance of the network. A novel relay selection mechanism is also proposed to reduce the relay selection overhead. Simulation results show that our cooperative smart grid (coopSG) communication model improves the end-to-end packet delivery latency, throughput, and energy efficiency over both the Wang et al. and Niyato et al. models.

무선 매쉬 네트워크에서의 액세스 포인트의 배치는 예상 가입자의 위치와 서비스 공급자의 위치, 액세스 포인트의 수를 모두 고려해야 하는 NP-complete 문제이나, 효율과 비용의 측면에서 간과할 수 없는 매우 중요한 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 대규모 매쉬 네트워크의 효율적인 배치를 위해, 유전 알고리즘을 사용하여 최소한의 액세스 포인트를 사용하여 최대한의 가입자를 수용할 수 있는 무선 메쉬 네트워크의 배치 방안을 모색한다. 구현을 통한 성능평가 결과와 수치적 분석은 본 문제 공간에서의 유전 알고리즘의 효용성을 입증한다.

Due to limited spectrum resources and differences in link loads, network congestion is one of the key issues in cognitive radio wireless mesh networks. In this letter, a congestion avoidance model with power control, channel allocation, and routing under the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio is presented. As a contribution, a nested optimization scheme combined with a genetic algorithm and linear programming solver is proposed. Extensive simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm.

In this paper, our study for the recognition of Hand-written Korean characters, Arabic numbers and alphabets by neural netwoks. This System extracts feature of character by using the MESH feature point of handwritten character, Arabic numbers and alphabets. To reduce the input image data, features are extracted from each input images. A MLP(multi-layer perceptron) with one hidden layer was trained with a modified BEP(back error propagation) algorithm. This method extracts feature sets of the characters directly from the scanner and can enhance computation speed without using the special preprocesses such as size normalization, smoothing, and thinning.

본 논문에서는 ATM PNNI(Private Network-Network Interface) 망에서 경로 배정을 위해 필요로 하는 링크 상태 정보(link state information)를 효율적으로 집단화(aggregation)하는 두 가지 방법을 제시한다. 이 방법들은 집단화할 동료 집단(peer group)의 경계노드(border node)들을 셔플넷(shufflenet)이나 de Bruijn 그래프의 노드들로 사상시킴으로써 표현해야 할 링크의 수를 완전 그물망 방법(full-mesh approach)의 N2에서 aN(a는 정수, N은 경계노드 수)으로 줄인다. 이는 공간 복잡도가 0(N)인 신장 트리(apanning tree) 방법에서 필요로 하는 링크의 수와 비슷하지만, 신장 트리 방법과는 달리 비대칭망(asymmetric network)에서 사용할 수 있다는 것이 큰 장점이다. 모의 실험 결과 셔플넷 방법은 aN개의 링크만을 표현하면서도 상태 정보의 정확성은 완전 그물망 방법에 근접함을 알 수 있었고, de Bruijn 방법은 정보의 정확성에서는 셔플넷 방법에 못 미치지만 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 별모양 방법(star approach) 방법보다는 훨씬 정확하며, 계산 복잡도 면에서 셔플넷 방법보다 효율적이었다.

This paper overviews clock design problems related to the circuit reliability in deep submicron design technology. The topics include the clock polarity assignment problem for reducing peak power/ground noise, clock mesh network design problem for tolerating clock delay variation, electromagnetic interference aware clock optimization problem, adjustable delay buffer allocation and assignment problem to support multiple voltage mode designs, and the state encoding problem for reducing peak current in sequential elements. The last topic belongs to finite state machine (FSM) design and is not directly related to the clock design, but it can be viewed that reducing noise at the sequential elements driven by clock signal is contained in the spectrum of reliable circuit design from the clock source down to sequential elements.
