A mobile station in a cell receives interference signals from neighboring base stations. Due to the interference signals, the forward link capacity of the cellular system is reduced. Pilot signal received from a neighboring base station is one of the interference signals. Since the pilot signal is a known signal for all the mobile stations, the pilot interference signal can be cancelled by interference cancellation techniques. In this paper, we propose a demodulator with interference canceller to cancel pilot interference signals received from neighboring base stations. The simulation results show that Eb/No value to obtain BER = 10-2 is lowered by 3㏈ in the propose demodulator.

In this paper, we analyze the blocking probability of a call in a PC communication network. In a PC communication network, a call generated from the PSTN (public switched telephone network) requests the connection to the ICPS(information communication processing system) which interconnects the the PSTN and the PSDN(packet switched data network). Then, as a second step, a packet call is requested to the specific service database attached in the PSDN. The call blocking probabilies are analyzed for these two interface points, the PSTN interface ports of the ICPS and the PSDN interface link of the database. We also present some numerical results to show the effects of the system parameters on the performance of the network. The results show the effects of the capacity of each interface point on the performance point.

This paper investigates schemes to improve TCP performance in multipath forwarding networks. In multipath routing, packets to the same destination are sent to multiple next-hops in either packet-level or flow-level forwarding mode. Effective bandwidth is increased since we can utilize unused capacity of multiple paths to the destination. In packet-level multipath forwarding networks, TCP performance may not be enhanced due to frequent out-of-order segment arrivals at the receiver because of different delays among paths. To overcome this problem, we propose simple TCP modifications. At the sender, the fast retransmission threshold is adjusted taking the number of paths into consideration. At the receiver, the delayed acknowledgment scheme is modified such that an acknowledgment for an out-of-order segment arrival is delayed in the same way for the in-order one. The number of unnecessary retransmissions and congestion window reductions is diminished, which is verified by extensive simulations. In flow-level multipath forwarding networks, hashing is used at routers to select outgoing link of a packet. Here, we show by simulations that TCP performance is increased in proportion to the number of paths regardless of delay differences.

This paper describes our design of a hybrid amplifier composed of a distributed Raman amplifier and erbium-doped fiber amplifiers for C- and L-bands. We characterize the distributed Raman amplifier by numerical simulation based on the experimentally measured Raman gain coefficient of an ordinary single mode fiber transmission line. In single channel amplification, the crosstalk caused by double Rayleigh scattering was independent of signal input power and simply given as a function of the Raman gain. The double Rayleigh scattering induced power penalty was less than 0.1 dB after 1000 km if the on-off Raman gain was below 21 dB. For multiple channel amplification, using commercially available pump laser diodes and fiber components, we determined and optimized the conditions of three-wavelength Raman pumping for an amplification bandwidth of 32 nm for C-band and 34 nm for L-band. After analyzing the conventional erbium-doped fiber amplifier analysis in C-band, we estimated the performance of the hybrid amplifier for long haul optical transmission. Compared with erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, the optical signal-to-noise ratio was calculated to be higher by more than 3 dB in the optical link using the designed hybrid amplifier.

This paper deals with the design method for a small waterproof 4-axis robot arm. An extensive analysis was performed on the torque applied to the robot joint as a result of the payload, as well as the design of the joint actuator capacity. In addition, a study was undertaken on the design of a waterproof joint actuator that works at depths greater than 10 m and the wiring design for a small waterproof connector to avoid obstructing the robot motion. Finally, a finite element method simulation was carried out to analyze the strength of the designed robot arm link, and its stability was verified through a simulation test.

The combination of spatial latticed structures (hereafter SLS) and flexible cables, the cable-stayed spatial latticed structures (hereafter CSLS) can cross longer span. According to variation principle, a novel geometric nonlinear formulation for 3-D bar elements considering large displacement and infinitesimal rotation increments with second-order precision is developed. The cable nonlinearity is investigated and it is taken that the secant modulus method can be considered as an exact method for a cable member. The tower column with which the cables link is regarded as a special kind of beam element, and, a new simplified stiffness formulation is presented. The computational strategies for the nonlinear dynamic response of structures are given, and the ultimate load carrying capacities and seismic responses are analyzed numerically. It is noted that, compared with corresponding spatial latticed shells, the cable-stayed spatial latticed shells have more strength and more stiffness, and that the verical seismic responses of both CSLS and CLS are remarkably greater than the horizontal ones. In addition, the computation shows that the stiffness of tower column influences the performance of CSLS to a certain extent and the improvement of structural strength and stiffness of CSLS is relevant not only to cables but also to tower columns.

When eccentrically braced steel frames (EBFs) are in the desired failure mode, links yield at each layer and column bases appear plastically hinged. Traditional design methods cannot accurately predict the inelastic behavior of structures owing to the use of capacity-based design theory. This paper proposes the use of performance-based seismic design (PBSD) method for planning eccentrically braced frames. PBSD can predict and control inelastic deformation of structures by target drift and failure mode. In buildings designed via this process, all links dissipate energy in the rare event of an earthquake, while other members remain in elastic state, and as the story drift is uniform along the structure height, weak layers will be avoided. In this condition, eccentrically braced frames may be more easily rehabilitated after the effects of an earthquake. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated through a sample case study of ten-story K-type EBFs and Y- type EBFs buildings, and is validated by pushover analysis and dynamic analysis. The ultimate state of frames designed by the proposed method will fail in the desired failure mode. That is, inelastic deformation of structure mainly occurs in links; each layer of links involved dissipates energy, and weak layers do not exist in the structure. The PBSD method can provide a reference for structural design of eccentrically braced steel frames.

This tutorial paper presents the design methodology of system-level simulators targeted for code division multiple access (CDMA) cellular standards such as EV-DO (Evolution-Data Only) and broadcast multicast service (BCMCS). The basic structure and simulation flow of system-level simulators are delineated, following the procedure of cell layout, mobile drops, channel modeling, received power calculation, scheduling, packet error prediction, and traffic generation. Packet data transmissions on the forward link of CDMA systems and EV-DO BCMCS systems are considered for modeling simulators. System-level simulators for cellular standards are modeled and developed with high-level languages and utilized to evaluate and predict air interface performance metrics including capacity and coverage.

Modem warfares have changed from PCW (platform Centric Warfare) to NCW (Network Centric Warfare). Therefore, it is more important to operate and manage the network. This paper proposed a node management scheme in military wireless networks. In military wireless networks, nodes can join and leave the networks easily. It causes a degradation of network capacity. This paper figured out a problem caused by node which is leaving the network. This paper proposed a RSSI based method of estimating and detecting the leaving nodes in the networks. Finally, an experimental result was demonstrated to show the efficiency of the proposed method.
