TCP is considered as one of the major candidate transport protocols even for constrained IoT networks..In our previous work, we investigated the congestion control mechanism of the uIP TCP. Since the uIP TCP sets the window size to one segment by default, managing the retransmission timer is the primary approach to congestion control. However, the original uIP TCP sets the retransmission timer based on the fixed RTO, it performs poorly when a radio duty cycling mechanism is enabled and the hidden terminal problem is severe. In our previous work, we proposed a TCP retransmission timer adjustment scheme for uIP TCP which adopts the notion of weak RTT estimation of CoCoA, exponential backoffs with variable limits, and dithering. Although our previous work showed that the proposed retransmission timer adjustment scheme can improve performance, we observe that the scheme often causes a node to set the retransmission timer for an excessively too long time period. In this work, we show that slightly modifying the dithering mechanism of the previous scheme is effective for improving TCP fairness.

무선 네트워크는 한정된 배터리 전원에 의존하는 이동 휴대 기기를 사용하기 때문에 무선 통신 프로토콜을 설계하는데 있어서 에너지 효율에 대한 고려가 필요하게 되었다. 무선 환경에서 대표적인 TCP 성능 향상 연구 중에 하나인 TCP-Westwood는 ACK를 이용한 샘플링 기법으로 가용 대역폭을 측정한다. 측정한 가용 대역폭을 이용해서 효과적인 데이타 전송을 할 수 있다는 장점을 갖는 반면에, TCP-Westwood 송신단이 무선 구간에 있을 경우에 대한 고려가 미흡하다. 본 논문에서는 TCP-Westwood의 송신단이 무선 구간에 있을 경우에 발생하는 문제점을 보완하기 위해서 새로운 전송 프로토콜인 E2TP(Energy Efficient Transport Protocol)를 제안한다. 제안한 E2TP는 패킷 손실이 발생할 경우에는 일시적인 전송 단위 조절을 이용한 재전송 방법을 사용하여 보다 효과적인 데이타 전송을 수행한다. E2TP의 성능을 검증하기 위한 실험 결과, E2TP가 전송률 및 에너지 효율 측면에서 TCP와 TCP-Westwood보다 성능이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Distributed piezoelectric sensor and actuator have been designed for efficient vibration control of a cantilevered beam. Both PZT and PVDF are used in this study, the former as an actuator and the latter as a sensor for our integrated structure. For the PZT actuator, the position and size have been optimized. Optimal electrode shape of the PVDF sensor has been determined. For multi-mode vibration control, we have used two PZT actuators and a PVDF sensor. Electrode shading of PVDF is more powerful for modal force adjustment than the sizing and positioning of PZT. Finite element method is used to model the structure that includes the PZT actuator and the PVDF sensor. By deciding on or off of each PZT segment, the length and the location of the PZT actuator are optimize. Considering both of the host structure and the optimized actuators, it is designed that the active electrode width of PVDF sensor along the span of the beam. Actuator design is based on the criterion of minimizing the system energy in the control modes under a given initial condition. Sensor is designed to minimize the observation spill-over. Modal control forces for the residual(uncontrolled) modes have been minimized during the sensor design. Genetic algorithm, which is suitable for this kind of discrete problems, has been utilized for optimization. Discrete LQG control law has been applied to the integrated structure for real time vibration control. Performance of the sensor, the actuator, and the integrated smart structure has been demonstrated by experiments.
