We propose a general framework for studying resource allocation problem and the tradeoff between spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) for downlink traffic in power domain-non-orthogonal multiple access (PD-NOMA) and device to device (D2D) based heterogeneous cloud radio access networks (H-CRANs) under imperfect channel state information (CSI). The aim is jointly optimize radio remote head (RRH) selection, spectrum allocation and power control, which is formulated as a multi-objective optimization (MOO) problem that can be solved with weighted Tchebycheff method. We propose a low-complexity algorithm to solve user association, spectrum allocation and power coordination separately. We first compute the CSI for RRHs. Then we study allocating the cell users (CUs) and D2D groups to different subchannels by constructing a bipartite graph and Hungrarian algorithm. To solve the power control and EE-SE tradeoff problems, we decompose the target function into two subproblems. Then, we utilize successive convex program approach to lower the computational complexity. Moreover, we use Lagrangian method and KKT conditions to find the global optimum with low complexity, and get a fast convergence by subgradient method. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that by using PD-NOMA technique and H-CRAN with D2D communications, the system gets good EE-SE tradeoff performance.

Structural members are designed to maintain the load-carrying capacity as well as structural strength, and the structural serviceability such as the deflection, cracks, and vibration to give the occupants uncomfortable environment should be checked. Recently, the importance of the vibration has been issued since the Techno Mart accident due to vibration resonance. This study provides a passive vibration control system using the repulsion force of magnets to reduce dynamic vibrations. The systems is devised by importing the constraint condition by a hinge to operate magnets installed at two adjacent locations. The effectiveness of the proposed system is investigated by the vibration control test of a steel beam with and without the control system. It is illustrated in the test that the system is activated by the control forces executed by the magnets and can be utilized in reducing the dynamic responses. The system can be applied to pedestrian bridge and traffic bridge. The applicability is expected in the future by optimizing the factors to affect the dynamic responses like the intensity, mass, locations of magnets.

A mobile device accesses large-sized data in object-based IP storage as an object unit over IP network. It relies heavily on a WLAN device, which has been known as one of the major power consumers. This paper designs and implements low-power object-based IP storage for mobile devices using an efficient WLAN power control. The proposed WLAN power control exploits prefetch buffer to maximize the idleness for incoming network traffic and controls available WLAN power modes to minimize the power consumption. Our experimental results reveal that the proposed WLAN control can save the total power consumption in a PXA270-based mobile device about 9% while playing the multimedia contents through an object-based IP storage device

Wireless LAN Voice over IP(VoIP) equipment needs Quality-of-Service(QoS) with priority for processing real-time traffic. This paper shows transmit function implementation of wireless LAN(WLANs) media access control(MAC) support VoIP, and it has an advantage of guarantee of QoS and is adaptable to VoIP or mobile wireless equipment. The IEEE 802.11e standard in progress has four queues according to four access categories(AC) for transmit and the MAC transmits the data based on EDCA. The value of AC is from AC0 to AC3 and AC3 has the highest priority. The transmit method implemented at this paper ensure QoS using one transmit FIFO in hardware since real-time traffic data and non real-time traffic data has the different priority. The device driver classifies real-time data and non real-time data and transmit data to hardware with information about data type. The hardware conducts shorter backoff and selects faster AIFS slot for real-time data than it for non real-time data. Therefor It make give the real-time traffic data faster channel access chance than non real-time data and enhances QoS.

N-screen is an emerging technology to support multimedia multicasting, content sharing and content mobility. N-screen service providers should obtain the technology that provides the highest quality content seamlessly. Distributed nature of WiMedia distributed-MAC protocol can provide full mobility support, and achieves seamless medium access method in contrast to IEEE 802.15.3. So, in this paper, WiMedia distributed-MAC protocol is adopted and an asynchronous multicast transmission (AMT) technology is proposed to enhance performance of seamless N-screen wireless service based on distributed-MAC. The ACK frame transmissions are not required for multicast transmissions. By using this property in AMT, if a device is a multicast receiver, its reserved time slots can be reserved by the other devices with 1-hop distance. Furthermore, each N-screen device broadcasts and shares the information including an order in asynchronous traffic reservations to reduce conflicts in determining the transmission order of asynchronous N-screen packets. Therefore, AMT scheme expands the number of time slots available and throughputs for multicast and asynchronous traffic reservations when comparing with the distributed-MAC standard system. N-screen communications based on distributed-MAC with the proposed AMT shows a new framework for realizing N-screen wireless service with the full content mobility.

Unlike the past, modern urban intersections have dramatic growth in size and utilizations. As a result, continual traffic signal control is essential. Hence the individual or regional electrical blackout may bring about uncontrollable traffic congestion. Late summer of 2011 a regional blackout brought about traffic nightmare not including time and revenue loss associated with this disaster. Due to this disaster our national police agency and other government agencies are in process of introducing an UPS (uninterruptible power supply) system into essential intersections. This study estimates the power consumption necessary to sustain at least 2 continuous hours for a standard four-legged intersection. Prototype was studied using these standards. The field experiment of prototype showed positive results and was able to meet standard guidelines set forth. Prototype tested was able to meet standards in medium to large capacity of traffic size.
