With the ever growing demand of data applications, the joint macro-relay networks are emerging as a promising heterogeneous deployment to provide coverage extension and throughput enhancement. However, the current cellular networks are usually designed to be performance-oriented without enough considerations on the traffic variation, causing substantial energy waste. In this paper, we consider a joint macro-relay network with densely deployed relay stations (RSs), where the traffic load varies in both time and spatial domains. An energy-efficient scheme is proposed to dynamically adjust the RS working modes (active or sleeping) according to the traffic variations, which is called traffic-aware relay sleep control (TRSC). To evaluate the performance of TRSC,we establish an analytical model using stochastic geometry theory and derive explicit expressions of coverage probability, mean achievable rate and network energy efficiency (NEE). Simulation results demonstrate that the derived analytic results are reasonable and the proposed TRSC can significantly improve the NEE when the network traffic varies dynamically.

Thanks to the great possibilities of providing different types of telecommunication traffic to a large geographical area, satellite networks are expected to be an essential component of the next-generation internet. As a result, issues concerning the designing and testing of efficient connection-admission-control (CAC) strategies in order to increase the quality of service (QoS) for multimedia traffic sources, are attractive and at the cutting edge of research. This paper investigates the potential strengths of a generic digital-video-broadcasting return-channel-via-satellite (DVB-RCS) system architecture, proposing a new CAC algorithm with the aim of efficiently managing real-time multimedia video sources, both with constant and high variable data rate transmission; moreover, the proposed admission strategy is compared with a well-known iterative CAC mainly designed for the managing of real-time bursty traffic sources in order to demonstrate that the new algorithm is also well suited for those traffic sources. Performance analysis shows that, both algorithms guarantee the agreed QoS to real-time bursty connections that are more sensitive to delay jitter; however, our proposed algorithm can also manage interactive real-time multimedia traffic sources in high load and mixed traffic conditions.

This paper proposes a scheme for distributed load balancing in mobile communication networks based on supervisory control framework. Using load information exchanged with neighboring cells, the "supervisors" that reside in the base stations distribute load among cells by controlling handover parameters in a distributed manner. The supervisors are designed so that the load difference among neighboring cells are kept under a pre-defined value. Results from systematic analysis and simulation indicate that our scheme effectively balances traffic load among cells and reduces call blocking rate of the overloaded cells.

An effective live load model for analyzing probable maximum live load effects in longitudinal direction such as moment and shear was developed. The main procedure of this live load model is composed of two parts. Firstly, determination of the appropriate influence lines, and secondly, application of the characteristics of vehicles and traffic patterns. Through this procedure, probabilistic distributions of maximum probable load effects are deduced in the form of probability density function (PDF) or cumulative density function (CDF). The proposed live load model is not limited by bridge types(number of spans or girders) and can consider local or global deterioration of bridges in the analysis. Besides, load effects can be determined at any section without restrictions.

본 논문에서는, WLAN과 셀룰러망의 중첩된 환경에서 망자원을 효율적으로 하는 호수락제어 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 비실시간 트래픽을 WLAN으로 분산 이동시킴으로써 셀룰러망의 혼잡도를 완화시킨다. 제안된 호수락제어 방식에 대해서 수치 분석과 시뮬레이션 분석을 한다. 시뮬레이션 결과로써, 제안된 호수락제어 방식이 기존의 방식보다 좋은 성능을 보여준다. 특히, 실시간 트래픽 보다 비실시간 트래픽의 높은 입력 트래픽율에 대해서 좀 더 안정적인 QoS를 유지할 수 있다.

최근 중화물 차량의 적재율 증가와 교통량의 증가 등으로 인해 강도로교에서는 반복하중에 의한 피로손상이 많이 발생하고 있으며 이러한 손상은 교량의 안전성에 심각한 영향을 미치고 있다. 따라서 사용기간 동안에 발생하는 피로손상을 합리적으로 반영할 수 있는 피로설계하중을 결정하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 미국 AASHTO의 LRFD 피로설계방법을 고찰하였으며 그 결과 교폭에 관계없이 1대의 피로설계트럭을 재하하여 설계하는 것은 일정한 안전수준을 확보하지 못하는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서, 교폭에 따라 설계하중 재하방법을 다르게 하는 것이 보다 일관성 있는 안전수준을 가지는 것으로 나타났으며 본 연구에서는 다양한 교량구조형식과 통행특성에 따라 발생하는 피로손상을 합리적으로 반영할 수 있는 피로설계하중의 재하방법과 수준 및 형식을 제시하였다.

This study analyzed influence factors and the correlation among pollutants which affect occurrence of leaked pollution based on the long-term runoff flow and water quality investigation results to understand the characteristics of highway rainfall runoff pollution load. According to the result of correlation analysis on TSS (Total Suspended Solid) concentration, anteceded dry days, rainfall intensity, traffic volume and etc. as major influence factors of highway rainfall runoff pollution loads, the correlations were weak or scarce in most items. These results might be attributed that runoff pollutant concentration changes vary severely on changes of rainfall intensity and rainfall duration within rainfall and it is affected by disturbances of vehicles and street cleaning and etc. as characteristics of the highway. While Cu, Fe and Zn which are discharged with high concentrations out of heavy metals showed high correlation with particulate matter, organic matter(COD), nutrient(TN, TP), Ni and Pb showed relatively low correlation in a correlation evaluation by pollutant. Significant correlation with traffic volumes was not shown and TSS concentration even decreased in accordance with increase of the traffic volume. In the comparison with precedent studies, it was considered necessary additional analysis of the effects of rainfall section analysis, road type, disturbances of surface contaminants by vehicles, rainfall and climate conditions, surrounding terrains etc.

교량의 확폭공사에는 대개 기설부와 교량을일체화시키는 접합시공법이 행해지고 있다. 그러나 접합시공방법은 설계 및 시공상 여러 가지 복합적인 문제를 야기시킨다. 본 연구는 실험 및 구조해석을 통하여 접합시공에 따른 제반 문제점중 확폭교량 시공방법에 따른 구조거동과 콘크리트 양생시 기설부 교량을 통과하는 차량에 의해 발생하는 진동이 신설부 교량에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 실시하였다. 연구결과, 낮은 하중에서 접합면에 휨균열이 발생하였고, 접합부 철근에서 약간의 응력집중현상 및 철근과 콘크리트간에 슬립현상이 관찰되었으나, 접합시공에 따른 전체적인 강도의 감소는 미소하였다. 또한, 신설부 교량의 콘크리트 양생중 진동에 의한 강도의 감소는 없음을 알 수 있었다.

Recent advancements in broadband wireless communication technologies enable mobile users to receive video streaming services with various smart devices. The long term evolution (LTE) network provides high bandwidth and low latency for several emerging mobile applications. This paper proposes the buffer aware scheduling (BAS) approach to schedule the downlink video traffic in LTE network. The proposed BAS scheme applies the weighting function to heuristically adjust the scheduling priority by considering the buffer status and channel condition of UE so as to reduce the time that UE stays in the connected state without receiving data. Both of 1080P and 2160P resolution video streaming sources were applied for exhaustive simulations to examine the performance of the proposed scheme by comparing to that of the fair bandwidth (FB) and the best channel quality indicator (CQI) schemes. The simulation results indicate that the proposed BAS scheme not only achieves better performance in power saving, streaming delivery time, and throughput than the FB scheme while maintaining the similar performance as the best CQI scheme in light traffic load. Specifically, the proposed scheme reduces streaming delivery time and generates less signaling overhead than the best CQI scheme when the traffic load is heavy.

The network coding mechanism has attracted much attention because of its advantage of enhanced network throughput which is a desirable characteristic especially in a multi-hop wireless network with limited link capacity such as the device-to-device (D2D) communication network of 5G. COPE proposes to use the XOR-based network coding in the two-hop wireless network topology. For multi-hop wireless networks, the Distributed Coding-Aware Routing (DCAR) mechanism was proposed, in which the coding conditions for two flows intersecting at an intermediate node are defined and the routing metric to improve the coding opportunity by preferring those routes with longer queues is designed. Because the routes with longer queues may increase the delay, DCAR is inefficient in delivering real-time multimedia traffic flows. In this paper, we propose a network coding-aware routing protocol for multi-hop wireless networks that enhances DCAR by considering traffic load distribution and link quality. From this, we can achieve higher network throughput and lower end-to-end delay at the same time for the proper delivery of time-sensitive data flow. The Qualnet-based simulation results show that our proposed scheme outperforms DCAR in terms of throughput and delay.
