We consider connection-oriented wireless cellular networks. These networks employ dedicated radio channels for the transmission of signaling information. A forward signaling channel is a common signaling channel assigned to carry the multiplexed stream of paging and channel allocation(virtual circuit allocation) packets from a base station to mobile stations. The delay levels experienced by paging and channel allocation packets have serious effect on the utilization level of the limited radio channel capacity. While a slotted mode operation is used to reduce the power consumption level at mobile stations, it may induce an increase in packet delay levels. In this paper, we thus consider a multiplexing scheme for paging and channel allocation packets under which slots are dynamically allocated for the paging packet transmission. For this dynamic scheme, we develop an analytical method for deriving the delay characteristics exhibited by paging and channel allocation packets, and investigate the effect of network parameters on the delay level by using this method.

Recently, smartphones have been widely used in wireless communications which caused severe data overload in cellular networks. Cellular companies consider increasing wireless data capacity in overloaded areas. Determining overloaded areas is mainly made from user reports which are currently collected by calling or simple apps by some active users experiencing overloads. Since the current reporting method is inconvenient and does not contain detail information about the overload conditions, and therefore is used by only some active users, the overloaded areas determined from the reports are not likely to be accurate. Therefore, we need a new reporting method which is convenient enough for even inactive users to willingly report the overload condition and which delivers detail information about the overloads. In this paper, we design and implement a measurement function of smartphone's WCDMA communication quality including overload condition and management system of mobile wireless communication networks about smartphones' communication quality.

Wire-woven Bulk Kagome (WBK) is a new truss type cellular metal fabricated by systematic assembling of helical wires in six directions. In this work, the experiments of mechanical behaviors of WBK cored sandwich panels subjected to bending load were performed and the results were compared with those by the corresponding analytic solutions. And also, finite element simulations were performed to validate the optimal design according to the analytic solutions. It is found the sandwich panel with WBK core performed excellently in terms of energy absorption and deformation stability after the peak point as well as the load capacity.

Oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs) has been implicated in a variety of human diseases including cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and neurodegenerative disorders. Hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O$$_2$), a representative ROI which is produced during the cellular redox process, can cause cell death via apoptosis and/or necrosis depending on its concentrations.

In this study, authors investigated the cadmium tolerance, the accumulation of cadmium, and the cellular distribution of accumlated cadmium in lactic acid bacteria under the anaerobic condition. Lactic acid bacteria grew fairly well in modified EG medium containing 10 ppm of cadmium but could hardly grow at 50 ppm of cadmium. Tolerance to cadmium of genus Lactobacillus was greater than that of genus Streptococcus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus showed the higest cadmium tolerance amomg the bacteria tested. The capacity of cadmium accumlation (9.304-12.428 mg/g wet cell) of lactic acid bacteria was higher than that (6.775 mg/g wet cell) of Escherichia coli. Lactobacillus casei of them took up the largest amount of cadmium. The cadmium elimination amount (28.46-29.25%) of lactic acid bacteria from modified EG medium containing cadmium were also higher than that (14.43%) of Escherichia coli. Accumulated cadmium in Lactobacillus acidophilus was distributed by 42.41% at cell wall, 28.97% at cytoplasm, and 28.62% at plasma membrane, respectively.

In this paper, a computer simulation approach is proposed to analyze the performance of reverse traffic channels in a base station serving voice and data calls in CDMA cellular systems. It is assumed that multiple traffic channels simultaneously serve a data call and a voice call is served by one traffic channel in a base station. The numerical examples will be presented to derive the capacity of traffic channels from the parameters such as the arrival rates and mean durations of voice and data calls, the soft handoff area ratio, etc..

We examine the DS/SSMA system which is employing coherent BPSK with RAKE receiver. We adop Nakagami m-distribution as a multipath fading model. First, we analyze the performances of the system in the single cell environment and obtain the other-cell interference according to power control error. And considering the other-cell interference into the analysis of single cell system, we examine the cellular CDMA network. The average BER and outage probability are the figures of merit that characterize the system performance. The required BER, 1E-3, and required outage probability are the figures of merit that characterize the system performance. The requeired BER, 1E-3, and required outage probability, 1% for the voice transmission is considered to acquire the capacity of system.

Channel management is critical in designing a cellular mobile system that offers high capacity and high quality. In this paper, an integrated channel management scheme is proposed, which consists of a dynamic channel allocation scheme and an admission control scheme. The dynamic channel allocation scheme allocates a call request the channel which minimizes the impact on its interfering cell, and consists of two types of channel allocation strategies : nominal channel allocation strategy and non-nominal channel allocation strategy. The admission control scheme named the variable cutoff priority scheme reserves some frequency channels for handoff cells in each cell the number of which varies according to the blocking probability of handoff class in that cell. Computationl tests are performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of overall blocking probability, defined by the weighted value of the blocking probabilities of new calls and handoff calls. The results show that the proposed scheme yields better performance than other compared schemes.

Power control (PC) on the reverse link of CDMA cellular system is important to increase system capacity. PC eliminates fluctuations in the received signal level and hence reduces the required signal-to-interference ratio. However, both perfect PC and imperfect PC depend on number of interferences as number of users, which by using smart antenna system can decrease number of interferences in any directions except interferences from the main beam direction. In this paper , number of elements in smart antenna system, which directly relates to the main beam pattern, is studied to find the effects on the outage probability , bit energy-to-interference density ratio (Eb/Io) and the capacities of both perfect and imperfect PC.

Base station coordination has received much attention as a means to reduce the inter-cell interference in cellular networks. However, this interference reducing ability comes at the expense of increased feedback, backhaul load and computational complexity. The degree of coordination is therefore limited in practice. In this paper, we explore the trade-off between capacity and feedback load in a cellular network with coordination clusters. Our main interest lies in a scenario with multiple fading users in each cell. The results indicate that a large fraction of the total gain can be achieved by a significant reduction in feedback. We also find an approximate expression for the distribution of the instantaneous signal to interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and propose a new effective scheduling algorithm.
