With vast amounts of spectrum available in the millimeter wave (mmWave) band, small cells at mmWave frequencies densely deployed underlying the conventional homogeneous macrocell network have gained considerable interest from academia, industry, and standards bodies. Due to high propagation loss at higher frequencies, mmWave communications are inherently directional, and concurrent transmissions (spatial reuse) under low inter-link interference can be enabled to significantly improve network capacity. On the other hand, mmWave links are easily blocked by obstacles such as human body and furniture. In this paper, we develop a multi-hop relaying transmission (MHRT) scheme to steer blocked flows around obstacles by establishing multi-hop relay paths. In MHRT, a relay path selection algorithm is proposed to establish relay paths for blocked flows for better use of concurrent transmissions. After relay path selection, we use a multi-hop transmission scheduling algorithm to compute near-optimal schedules by fully exploiting the spatial reuse. Through extensive simulations under various traffic patterns and channel conditions, we demonstrate MHRT achieves superior performance in terms of network throughput and connection robustness compared with other existing protocols, especially under serious blockage conditions. The performance ofMHRT with different hop limitations is also simulated and analyzed for a better choice of the maximum hop number in practice.

인터넷을 통해서 침입하는 해커나 침입자로부터 기관의 내부 정보시스템을 보호하기 위하여 침입 차단 시스템(firewall)의 사용이 보편화되고 있다. 하지만 사용자 입장에서는 침입 차단 시스템의 성능을 확인 할 수 없을 뿐 아니라, 동작 모드(브리지 모드(Bridge Mode), 게이트웨이 모드(Gateway Mode))에 따른 성능 차이를 알 수 없다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 침입 차단 시스템의 운영체제(Windows 2000, Linux, FreeBSD) 환경에 따른 성능을 분석하였다. 끝으로 FreeBSD 커널 기반의 침입 차단 시스템을 서로 다른 동작 모드에서 성능을 비교하고 침입 차단 정책 수가 성능에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였다.
