When tasks access shared resources in real-time systems, the unbounded priority inversion may occur. In such cases it is impossible to guarantee the schedulability of real-time tasks. Several resource access protocols have been proposed to bound the duration of priority inversion and sufficient conditions are given to guarantee the schedulability of periodic task set. In this paper, we show an improved sufficient condition for schedulability when the dynamic priority ceiling protocol is used. Our approach exploits the fact that a lower priority task can continue to execute as far as the higher priority tasks do not miss their deadlines. This permitting execution time of the higher priority tasks for a lower priority task can be excluded from the worst-case blocking time of the higher priority tasks. Since the worst-case blocking time of tasks can be reduced, the sufficient condition for schedulability of dynamic priority ceiling protocol becomes further tight.

실시간 시스템은 서버와 같은 공유자원들에 대해서 보다 높은 우선순위 활동의 최악 블록시간(worst case blocking time)을 결정해야한다. 현재까지 분산 시스템을 위한 여러 서버 모델들이 제안되었으며 이러한 서버모델들에 우선순위 규약을 적용하여 실시간성을 높이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 RT- Mach에서 실시간성을 향상시키기 위한 새로운 모델을 제시하여 우선순위 반전 문제를 해결하기 위해 동적 스레드 관리자(dynamic thread manager) 를 제안하였다. 기존의 여러 서버 모델들과 달리 서버마다 동적 스레드 관리자를 두어 작업자 그룹내에서 유혹 스레드(idle thread)와 바쁜스레드 (busy thread ) 판별하여 적절한 스레드를 선정, 조정하고 서버로부터의 요구에 대해 최상위 우선순위를 할당하여 서버간의 우선순위 반전을 중이고 실시간성을 향상시키고자 했다.

This paper presents the service handling schemes of an intelligent peripheral(IP) which provides the service function as a physical entity in the intelligent network. Four service request handling scheme are compared for and IP which can handle both ordinary requests and prioritized requests on the blocked-call-delayed basis. Delayed requests are assumed to be stored in a finite storage buffer. Scheme-I exclusively allows prioritized requests be stored and to use a fixed number of reserved servers. The other three schemes without reserved servers(Scheme-II.III,and IV) allow both types of requests to be stored and prioritized requests pushout ordinary requests if the buffer is full. For these four schemes, the blocking probabilities and delay distributions of both types of requests are numerically obtained. From the numericall results, the schemes without reserved servers reduce the blocking probability of ordinary requists without a severe penalty on proritized requests. For three schemes without reserved servers, it is noted that prioritized requests should br served on the first-in, first-out basis, and ordinary requests should be served on the last-in, first-out basis.

In this paper, we propose a fast block matching algorithm of motion estimation using early detection of optimal candidate with high priority and a threshold. Even though so many fast algorithms for motion estimation have been published to reduce computational reduction full search algorithm, still so many works to improve performance of motion estimation are being reported. The proposed algorithm calculates block matching error for each candidate with high priority from previous partial matching error. The proposed algorithm can be applied additionally to most of conventional fast block matching algorithms for more speed up. By doing that, we can find the minimum error point early and get speed up by reducing unnecessary computations of impossible candidates. The proposed algorithm uses smaller computation than conventional fast full search algorithms with the same prediction quality as the full search algorithm. Experimental results shows that the proposed algorithm reduces 30~70% compared with the computation of the PDE and full search algorithms without any degradation of prediction quality and further reduces it with other fast lossy algorithms.

This paper is concerned about applying the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) for a priority analysis of equipment operation plan to improve productivity of the container terminal in Gwangyang port. In this study, main elements of container terminal are assumed as into yard equipment area, transport equipment area, berth equipment area and C/Center area. A questionnaire is used to collect the opinions of equipment operating department and operational planning department. On the whole, the result of the analyses reveals that the most important area is yard equipment area. Examining each department is responses, equipment operating department preferred the C/Center area to other areas, on the other hand, operational planning department preferred yard equipment area. The result of this study suggests some guidelines for deciding priority of operation plan in the container terminal.

This paper proposes a fast and scalable priority queue architecture for use in high-speed networks which supports quality of service (QoS) guarantees. This architecture is cost-effective since a single queue can generate outputs to multiple out-links. Also, compared with the previous multiple systolic array priority queues, the proposed queue provides fast output generation which is important to high-speed packet schedulers, using a special control block. In addition this architecture provides the feature of high scalability.

The Competitiveness of Hybrid hard disk drive(H-HDD) for solid state disk(SSD) comes from both lower power consumption and higher reading speed. This paper suggests a prefetching scheme that can improve the performance of Non-Volatile cache(NVCache) memory installed on the H-HDD through prefetching disk blocks as well as files to the NVCache. The proposed scheme makes the highly used data such as booting files copy to the NVCache as an unit of file and the frequently accessed blocks copy to the NVCache. This prefetching is done on the idle time of disk queue and the priorities of prefetched target blocks are based on both time and spatial locality of blocks. Experiments results show that the suggested method can improve response time of H-HDD and also lower the power consumption.

We propose a novel call admission control scheme which improves the handoff drop and the new call block probabilities of high priority services, minimizing the negative impact on low priority services, in multimedia service cellular networks. This paper proposes three schemes to solve this problem; the packing scheme in which available channels of a cell distributed to each frequency channel are concentrated on one frequency channel and a high transmission rate service is assigned to the frequency channel; the queuing scheme in which the queue is used for high transmission rate calls; and the power reallocation scheme in which the power assigned to calls under service is temporarily reduced and a high transmission rate service is allowed. The simulation results revealed that our scheme improved the drop and the block probabilities of the high priority services compared with the conventional scheme.

In this thesis, we propose a Speed Accommodation Priority Algorithm Scheme(SPAS) and Traffic Control Model Scheme (TCMS) to satisfy a desired handoff dropping probability and to reduce the blocking probability of new calls using mobility characteristics and handoff rate in mobile communication networks. The guard channels below threshold can guarantee the Quality of Service(QoS) in terms of the request handoff dropping probability and the guard channels above the threshold can be used to handle high priority new calls and high priority handoff calls. When the ratio of the handoff call arrival rate is less then the ratio of the new call arrival rate, the proposed method can guarantee the new call better than the previous guard channel scheme.

이 논문에서는 CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access)셀룰러 시스템에서 우선순위 큐(Queue)에 기반을 둔 핸드오프채널할당기법의 모델을 제안하였다. 또한 제안한 모델의 성능을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 비우선순위기법 및 FIFO(First In First Out)큐기법과 비교하였다. 제안하는 모델의 핸드오프 채널할당 기법에서는 이동국의 진행방향에 있는 인접 셀(Neighbor Cell)의 파일롯 중에서 임계치가 T-ADD 이상인 파일롯이 있을 경우 기지국이 이 파일롯(Pilot)에 대한 파일롯 세기 측정메시지를 이동국으로부터 수신 한 지점에서 드롭타이머가 종료된후 현재의 셀에서 사용중인 파일롯에 대한 파일롯 세기 측정 메시지를 이동국으로부터 수신한 시점까지 핸드오프 처리가능 영역으로 정의하고 이를 우선순위 큐의 최대큐 대기시간으로 사용하였다. 제안된 기법의 성능을 분석하기 위한 성능평가 척도는 강조종료확률, 호 블록킹 확률, 전체 제공 트래픽에 대한 수행 트래픽 비율, 평균 규크기미치 핸드오프 시 평균 지연시간이다. 성능시뮬레이션결과, 제안된 기법이 전체 시스템 호처리 용량면에서 약간의 단점은 발생하지만 핸드오프 처리에 있어서 높은 성능을 유지함을 알수 있었다.
