In this study, a new type of self-centering beam-column joint with tapered steel plate links is proposed. Firstly, mechanical property of the basic joint (with the prestressed steel strands only, to provide the self-centering ability) and the combined joint (with both the prestressed steel strands and tapered steel plate links, to provide self-centering and energy dissipation simultaneously) is theoretically analyzed. Then, three joints with different dimensions and combinations of tapered plate links are designed and tested through a series of quasi-static cyclic loading tests. Test results show that a nearly bilinear elastic moment-rotation relationship for the basic joint is obtained. With the addition of tapered steel plate links, typical flag-shape hysteretic curves are obtained, which indicates good self-centering and energy dissipating ability of the combined joint. By installing multiple tapered plate links, stiffness and bearing capacity of the beam-column joint can be enhanced. The theoretical moment-rotation relationships agree well with the test results. A simplified macro model of the proposed joint is developed using OpenSees, which simulates reasonably well its hysteretic behavior.

무선 애드-혹 망에서 경쟁기반 전달방식은 다중 수신자 중에서 채널상태가 최적인 수신자를 선택하므로 전송실패율을 낮춘다. 그러나, 경쟁기반 전달방식은 다중 수신자간에 동시전송에 따른 충돌문제로 인하여 전송지연을 증가시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 손실이 있는 무선 링크 환경에서 경쟁기반 전달방식이 경험할 수 있는 지연 및 충돌을 반영한 분석모델을 제시한다. 분석모델을 통해서 무선링크모델 및 지연모델에 따른 단일-홉 전송에서의 기대되는 전송지연(delay)과 목적지로의 전진(progress)을 구한다. 분석결과로써 최적의 지연 및 전진을 얻기 위해서는 무선링크의 특성이 고려된 지연모델이 선택되어야함을 밝힌다.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of multi-channel cognitive radio networks (CRNs) by taking into consideration the problem of channel assignment and link scheduling. We assume that secondary nodes are equipped with multiple radios and can switch among multiple channels. How to allocate channels to links and how much power used on each channel to avoid mutual interference among secondary links are the key problem for such CRNs. We formulate the problem of channel assignment and link scheduling as a combinatorial optimization problem. Then, we propose a the optimal solution and show that it converges to maximum optimum in some iterations by using numerical results.

무선 메쉬 네트워크(Wireless Mesh Network, WMN)는 무선 링크를 이용한 무선 백본 네트워크를 형성하여 사용자에게 인터넷 서비스를 효율적으로 제공할 수 있는 해결책 중의 하나이다. WMN에서 널리 사용되고 있는 기술은 IEEE 802.11 이며, 이는 멀티 채널 (multichannel)과 멀티 레이트(multirate)를 제공한다. WMN에서 중요한 이슈 중의 하나는 네트워크 용량(capacity) 이며, 이를 높이기 위한 멀티 채널 프로토콜이 절실하다 하지만, 다른 레이트로 동작하는 무선 링크가 같은 채널에서 동작하면, 높은 레이트(high-rate) 링크의 성능이 낮은 레이트(low-rate) 링크로 인해 저하되는 성능 이상(performance anomaly) 현상이 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 완화하기 위해 본 논문에서는 데이터 레이트를 멀티채널로 분산시키기 위한 트리기반 채널 할당(Tree-based Channel Assignment, TreeCA) 프로토콜을 제안한다. TreeCA는 인터넷 트래픽을 효율적으로 전달하기 위해 트리 WMN 구조를 기반으로 채널 할당을 수행한다. 부모 노드는 다른 레이트로 연결된 자식 노드를 다른 채널로 분산시켜서, 성능 이상 현상을 완화한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 TreeCA가 기존 멀티 채널 WMN 프로토콜 보다 향상된 성능을 보임을 관찰하였다.

Multi-hop relaying communications have great potentials in improving transmission performance by deploying relay nodes. The benefit is critically dependent on the accuracy of the channel state information (CSI) of all the transmitting links. However, the CSI has to be estimated. In this paper, we investigate the channel estimation problem in one-way multi-hop MIMO amplify-and-forward (AF) relay system, where both the two-hop and three-hop communication link exist. Traditional point-to-point MIMO channel estimation methods will result in error propagation in estimating relay links, and separately tackling the channel estimation issue of each link will lose the gain as part of channel matrices involved in multiple communication links. In order to exploit all the available gains, we develop a novel channel estimation model by structuring different communication links using the PARAFAC and PARATUCK2 tensor analysis. Furthermore, a two-stage fitting algorithm is derived to estimate all the channel matrices involved in the communication process. In particular, essential uniqueness is further discussed. Simulation results demonstrate the advantage and effectiveness of the proposed channel estimator.

In this paper, stochastic models for the cross-correlation of multiple channels are established based on measurement data collected using a wideband multiple-input multiple-output relay Band Exploration and Channel Sounder system at 3.7 GHz. We propose models for the cross-correlation characteristics of large-scale parameters (LSPs) between two links, that is, the base station and mobile station (MS) link and the relay station and MS link. The LSPs include shadow fading, Rician K-factor, delay spread, angle spread of arrival, and angle spread of departure. Furthermore, models are established for the cross-correlation of the small-scale fading in the impulse responses of two links. The statistics of these model parameters are investigated as functions of geometrical features of the multilink. They are extracted from a large amount of cross-correlation observations, which are obtained in three measurement sites along more than one hundred measurement routes. These models can be used together with the standard single-link channel models for the generation of correlated components, for example, path clusters, in two separate channels.

After an accident involving mooring link failures in an offloading buoy, verification of the fatigue safety in terms of the out-of-plane bending (OPB) and in-plane bending (IPB) moments has become a key engineering item in the design of various floating offshore units. The mooring links for an 8 MW floating offshore wind turbine were selected for this study. To identify the OPB stiffness (OPB moment versus interlink angle), a numerical simulation model, called the 3-link model, is usually composed of three successive chain links closest to the fairlead or chain hawse. This paper introduces two numerical simulation techniques for the 3-link analyses. The conventional and advanced approaches are both based on the prescribed rotation approach (PRA) and direct tension approach (DTA). Comparisons of the nominal stress distributions, OPB stiffnesses, hotspot stress curves, and stress concentration curves are presented. The multiple link analyses used to identify the tension angle versus interlink angle require the OPB stiffness data from the 3-link analyses. A convergence study was conducted to determine the minimum number of links for a multi-link analysis. It was proven that 10 links were sufficient for the multi-link analysis. The tension angle versus interlink angle relations are presented based on multi-link analyses with 10 links. It was found that the subsequent results varied significantly according to the 3-link analysis techniques.

본 논문에서는 광 이더넷 시스템에 대하여 상용 광 트랜시버 모듈의 사용이 가능하면서도 에너지 절감기능을 제공할 수 있도록 트래픽 예측모듈을 사용하는 동적 레인제어방식을 제안한다. 40/100Gbps급 상용 광 트랜시버는 4개 또는 10개의 광 트랜시버를 사용하는데 이들 각각은 트래픽 부하와 상관없이 항상 켜져 있어 많은 에너지를 소모한다. 이러한 에너지 소모를 감소시키기 위하여 제안된 동적 레인제어방식은 부하에 따라 일부 레인의 트랜시버를 끄고 나머지 활성화된 레인으로만 프레임을 처리하도록 한다. 이때 레인의 갯수가 변동될 때 발생할 수 있는 바이트 전송순서 어긋남을 보완하기 위하여 새로운 전송율 제어모듈을 xGMII 인터페이스 상위에 위치한 정합부계층에 설치하는 것을 제안하였다. 이것은 비활성화된 레인상으로 가상적인 바이트열을 삽입하는 기능을 수행하는 것으로써 이 바이트열들은 비활성화된 PMD에서 무시된다. 실제 이 모듈의 구현은 PHY모듈과 별개로 동작하므로 상용 PHY모듈의 사용이 가능한 장점을 제공한다. 이러한 시스템에서 변동되는 부하에 적응하여 활성화된 레인의 갯수를 결정하는 것이 중요하므로 구현관점에서 용이한 트래픽 예측기를 제시하였다. 이것은 주기적으로 샘플링된 현재의 송신버퍼크기와 지금까지 사용되었던 버퍼크기 예측값에 서로 다른 가중치를 부여하여 변화하는 트래픽에 적응하도록 한다. 이러한 시스템에 대하여 OMNET++기반의 시뮬레이터를 구현하여 적응정도와 에너지 절감효과를 분석하였다.

In this paper, we investigate the tradeoff between security and reliability for a multi-hop protocol in cluster-based underlay cognitive radio networks. In the proposed protocol, a secondary source communicates with a secondary destination via the multi-hop relay method in the presence of a secondary eavesdropper. To enhance system performance under the joint impact of interference constraint required by multiple primary users and hardware impairments, the best relay node is selected at each hop to relay the source data to the destination. Moreover, the destination is equipped with multiple antennas and employs a selection combining (SC) technique to combine the received data. We derive closed-form expressions of the intercept probability (IP) for the eavesdropping links and the outage probability (OP) for the data links over a Rayleigh fading channel. Finally, the correction of our derivations is verified by Monte-Carlo simulations.
