A femtocell network has been attracting attention as a promising solution for providing high data rate transmission over the conventional cellular network in an indoor environment. In this paper, we propose a distributed power control algorithm considering both indoor coverage and data load balancing in the femtocell network. As data traffic varies by time and location according to user distribution, each femto base station suffers from an unbalanced data load, which may degrade network performance. To distribute the data load, the base stations are required to adjust their transmission power dynamically. Since there are a number of base stations in practice, we propose a distributed power control algorithm. In addition, we propose the simple algorithm to detect the faulty base station and to recover coverage. We also explain how to insert a new base station into a deployed network. We present the simulation results to evaluate the proposed algorithms.

Recently, there are many active studies to enhance low I/O performance of hard disk device. The studies on the hardware make good progress whereas those of the system software to enhance I/O performance may not support the hardware performance due to its poor progress. In this paper, we propose a new method of prefetching n-blocks into the flash memory. The proposed method consists of three steps: (1)analyzing the pattern of read requests in block units; (2)determining the number of blocks prefetched to flash memory; (3)replacing blocks according to block replacement policy. The proposed method can reduce the latency time of hard disk and optimize the power consumption of the computer system. Experimental results show that the proposed dynamic n-block method provides better average response time than that of the existing AMP(Adaptive multi stream prefetching) method by 9.05% and reduces the average power consumption than that of the existing AMP method by 11.11%.

Recently with increase of data in the Internet, platform technologies that can process huge data effectively such as Google platform and Hadoop are regarded as worthy of notice. In this kind of platform, there exist network I/O overheads to send task outputs due to the MapReduce operation which is a programming model to support parallel computation in the large cluster system. In this paper, we suggest applying of TIPC (Transparent Inter-Process Communication) protocol for reducing network I/O overheads and increasing network performance in the distributed computing environments. TIPC has a lightweight protocol stack and it spends relatively less CPU time than TCP because of its simple connection establishment and logical addressing. In this paper, we analyze main features of the Hadoop-based distributed computing system, and we build an experimental model which can be used for experiments to compare the performance of various protocols. In the experimental result, TIPC has a higher bandwidth and lower CPU overheads than other protocols.

Android apps suffer from intent vulnerabilities in that they abnormally stop execution when Android components such as, activity, service, and broadcast receiver, take malformed intents. This paper proposes a method to prevent intent vulnerabilities by allowing programmers to write a specification on intents that a component expects to have, and by checking intents against the specification in runtime. By declaring intent specifications, we can solve the problem that one may miss writing conditional statements, which check the validity of intents, or one may mix those statements with another regular code, so making it difficult to maintain them. We perform an experiment by applying the proposed method to 7 Android apps, and confirm that many of abnormal termination of the apps because of malformed intents can be avoided by the intent specification based runtime assertion.

Recently data centers are being constructed actively by many cloud service providers, enterprises, research institutes, etc. Generally, they are built on tree topology using ECMP data forwarding scheme for load balancing. In this paper, we examine data center network topologies like tree topology and fat-tree topology, and load balancing technologies like MLAG and ECMP. Then, we propose a scheduling algorithm to efficiently transmit particular files stored on the hosts in the data center to the destination node outside the data center, where fat-tree topology and OpenFlow protocol between infrastructure layer and control layer are used. We run performance analysis by numerical method, and compare the analysis results with those of ECMP. Through the performance comparison, we show the outperformance of the proposed algorithm in terms of throughput and file transfer completion time.

In response to the increasing demand for unrestricted access to diverse services regardless of location, cost-effective and easily deployable Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) solutions have once again captured attention. This paper primarily addresses the implementation challenges of Autonomous Load-balancing Field-based Anycast routing+ (ALFA+) for three-dimensional (3D) WMNs. Subsequently, we evaluate the performance of ALFA+ in an 802.11-based 3D WMN testbed established within a university campus using commercial devices, thus validating the practical viability of ALFA+. While most prior research has relied on performance evaluation through virtual environment simulations, this study distinguishes itself by performance evaluations in a real-world testbed using commercial devices and providing detailed implementation-related information necessary for such evaluations. This approach holds considerable significance in assessing the actual applicability of ALFA+.

This study collects and provides environmental data related to weather by measuring the concentration levels of fine dust at different altitudes, with the aim of forecasting fine dust concentration changes, particularly in the areas where the vulnerable reside. Institutions in the healthcare-related fields can use the real-time data on the changing fine dust concentration, which is collected through different combinations of various measuring devices and drone technologies, which have recently developed at a rapid pace. The study first collects data on the following: PM1 (fine dust particles <1 ㎛ in size), PM2.5 (fine dust particles <2.5 ㎛ in size), and PM10 (fine dust particles <10 ㎛ in size) and predicts respective changes and suggests data on various high levels. The device that was used in the study measured fine dust concentration, humidity, temperature, atmospheric pressure, carbon dioxide, total volatile organic compounds (TVoc), and formaldehyde.

Although IoT systems are used in a variety of heterogeneous environments as cloud environments develop, all IoT devices are not provided with reliable protocols and services. This paper proposes an IoT data management technique that can extend the IoT cloud environment to an n-layer multi-level structure so that information collected from different heterogeneous IoT devices can be efficiently sorted and processed. The proposed technique aims to classify and process IoT information by transmitting routing information and weight information through wireless data link data collected from heterogeneous IoT devices. The proposed technique not only delivers information classified from IoT devices to the corresponding routing path but also improves the efficiency of IoT data processing by assigning priority according to weight information. The IoT devices used in the proposed technique use each other's reliable protocols, and queries for other IoT devices locally through a local cloud composed of hierarchical structures have features that ensure scalability because they maintain a certain cost.y channels of IoT information in order to make the most of the multiple antenna technology.
