In this paper, we consider an amplify-and-forward (AF) full-duplex relay network (FDRN) using simultaneous wireless information and power transfer, where a battery-free relay node harvests energy from the received radio frequency (RF) signals from a source node and uses the harvested energy to forward the source information to destination node. The time-switching relaying (TSR) protocol is studied, with the assumption that the channel state information (CSI) at the relay node is imperfect. We deliver a rigorous analysis of the outage probability of the proposed system. Based on the outage probability expressions, the optimal time switching factor are obtained via the numerical search method. The simulation and numerical results provide practical insights into the effect of various system parameters, such as the time switching factor, the noise power, the energy harvesting efficiency, and the channel estimation error on the performance of this network. It is also observed that for the imperfect CSI case, the proposed scheme still can provide acceptable outage performance given that the channel estimation error is bounded in a permissible interval.

In this letter, we consider a cooperation system with multiple untrusted relays (URs). To keep the transmitted information confidential, we obtain joint channel characteristics (JCCs) through combining the channels from the source to the destination. Then, in the null space of the JCCs, jammers construct artificial noise to confuse URs when the source node broadcasts its data. Through a distributed implementation algorithm, the weight of each node can be obtained from its own channel state information. Simulation results show that high-level security of the system can be achieved when internal and external eavesdroppers coexist.

The speed of SR(Switched Reluctance) motor can be controlled by switching angle. However, since the relation between speed and switching is nonlinear, it is difficult for simple adjustment schemes to achieve the desired performances. In this paper, an error.feedback nonlinear compensator with robustness is proposed for improving the performances of the switching angle controlled SR motor. The proposed controller consists of integral type control and relay type control. The integral type controller which operates regulation, is derived by the steady.state I/O(input/output) map and the relay type controller which works tracking, is designed by Lyapunov stability theory. The validities of the proposed controller are confirmed with the experimental results.

The dimmable magnetic ballast which applies the variable inductor needs a switching process for the dimming process, and it consists of mechanical relays because of costs and reliabilities. However, it is hard to operate with correct timing in mechanical relay, so relays reduce their own life time in inductive applications. Moreover this creates a destructive problem at the switching process. The life time reduction of relays means the life time reduction of the ballast. Thus, in this paper, we described the problem at the witching process in the dimmable magnetic ballast with a variable inductor, which consists of relays and the soft AC switching method in order to solve the problems. As result, we achieved the improvement of the life time and reliability of the ballast.

Energy harvesting (EH) and network coding (NC) have emerged as two promising technologies for future wireless networks. In this paper, we combine them together in a single system and then present a time switching-based network coding relaying (TSNCR) protocol for the two-way relay system, where an energy constrained relay harvests energy from the transmitted radio frequency (RF) signals from two sources, and then helps the two-way relay information exchange between the two sources with the consumption of the harvested energy. To evaluate the system performance, we derive an explicit expression of the outage probability for the proposed TSNCR protocol. In order to explore the system performance limit, we formulate an optimization problem to minimize the system outage probability. Since the problem is non-convex and cannot be directly solved, we design a genetic algorithm (GA)-based optimization algorithm for it. Numerical results validate our theoretical analysis and show that in such an EH two-way relay system, if NC is applied, the system outage probability can be greatly decreased. Moreover, it is shown that the relay position greatly affects the system performance of TSNCR, where relatively worse outage performance is achieved when the relay is placed in the middle of the two sources. This is the first time to observe such a phenomena in EH two-way relay systems.

The general interference is the imperative trouble for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system. Although interference has bad influences on the performance of the system, it carries energy simultaneously. In this paper, the energy-constrained relay of the SWIPT system needs to spend much time on energy collecting (EC) in the information transmission (IT) period. Therefore, we propose the scheme of interference signal energy collecting (ISEC) when the interference is strong, and the SWIPT system does not carry out IT. The relay of the system continues to collect energy and stores it until the interference has minimal impact on IT. Then the system performs IT. We divide the collected interference energy equally into several parts, and each IT block receives one part. The proposed scheme is appealing because it can reduce the time of EC in IT period to make the relay spends more time forwarding the received signal in order to improve the performance of the system throughput. Furthermore, we propose a time-switching (TS) protocol based on EC at the relay. And it allows the relay forwarding signal at an appropriate power. Under the protocol, the time of EC can be flexible according to the forwarding power that we give so that the collected energy can be used more efficiently. We give the expressions of the system throughput according to the proposed scheme and protocol. Moreover, the influence of the interference power on the system throughput is also studied.

기존의 ISDN 교환기에서 패킷 통신을 위하여 사용되는 X.25교환 방식은 호의 설정 (call set-up) 과정에서 제어 정보의 교환 및 처리가 필요해서 전송지연이 누적되는 단점이 있으며, 또한 64 Kbps 이상의 고속 패킷 통신의 수용은 불가능하다. 본 논문에 서는 기존의 TDX-10 ISDN 교환기의 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 프레임 릴레이 교환 방식을 기존의교환기에 적용하는 방식을 제안하였으며이에 필요한 프레임릴레이 교환 장치 (ASS_F)의 설계에 관하여 논하였다. 제안된 프레임 릴레이 교환장치(ASS-F)를 수용하는 프레임 릴레이 교환 구조에서는 기존의 64 Kbps 패킷 통신을 효율적으로 수행할 뿐만 아니라, 고속의 패킷 통신을 가능하게 하여준다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 시스템의 성능 특성을 비교하기 위하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 교환시스템은 전송 대역폭을 효율적으로 이용하여 방대한 트래픽을 처리 할 수 있으며, 고속의 패킷 통신을 가능하게 하여 주기 때문에 광대역 ISDN으로의 진화 과정중의 중간 단계로 사용될 수 있다.

This paper proposes a way to predict electrical lifetime of a relay using Accelerated Life Testings (ALTs). The relay of interest mounting on printed circuit boards is usually under an inrush current stress. The inrush current is generated and accelerated through controlling a lamp switching device in the ALT. We find that the dominant failure mechanism under high levels of inrush current would be contact welding in the contact surface of the relay and the contact welding process is accelerated according to increase in inrush current. The electrical lifetime model based on Inverse Power Law in term of inrush current is proposed, and parameters characterizing relay's lifetime distribution are statistically estimated using ALTA 6 PRO software.

ATM과 non-ATM 간의 서비스가 연동도기 위해서는 트래픽 파라메타가 고려되어야 한다. 예를 들면 프레임 기반의 FR 트래픽 제어와 셀 기반의 ATM UPC와는 QoS 측면에서 정확하게 일치하기 어렵다. ATM 과 FR은 서로 다른 전달 모드와 트래픽 파라메타를 가지며, 기본 단위가 프레임과 셀로서 별도의 제어 방법을 갖는다. 또한 동일 사용자 정보를 전송하는데 ATM 측의 대역이 FR보다 훨씬 크다. 이는 ATM 셀 및 AAL5 구성 형태에서 기인하는데 FR/ATM 연동시 트래픽 파라메타를 사상하는데 대역비가 사용된다. 따라서 FR/ATM 연동에서 트래픽 파라메타를 사상하여 망간의 QoS를 유지시키며, 망의 자원을 효율적으로 활용하기 위해서는 적합한 트래픽 대역비를 고려하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 ATM 망에서 FR과 ATM 간 QoS를 유지하기 위하여 이들 간의 트래픽 파라메타를 사상하는 방법을 소개하고, 도일 사용자 정보를 전달하는데 필요한 FR과 ATM 간의 대역 비를 예측하는 방법을 기술한다. 본 논문에서는 대역비를 예측하는데 필요한 사용자 트래픽의 프레임 길이 분포를 Erlang 또는 지수 함수로 가정하고 수행하였다.
