Since the wireless communications have a limited transmission, the devices just around a master node can exchange data. Though Bluetooth and Zigbee support ad hoc, they are not appropriate for real-time voice communications. In this paper, we present a TDMA-based relay protocol for several users to communicate simultaneously. The proposed protocol can relay data or voice to other nodes in real-time by the multi-hop transmission method using TDMA. And the proposed protocol improves the network performance by allocating different frequencies to the slaves depending on the routing path scheduled by the routing table. NS-2 simulation shows that the performance of the proposed protocol is good in terms of the transmission delay and pecket loss probability in the real-time voice transmission.

In this paper, the impact damage behavior of USN-150B carbon/epoxy composite laminates subjected to high velocity impact was studied experimentally and numerically. Square composite laminates stacked with $[45/0/-45/90]_{ns}$ quasi-symmetric and $[0/90]_{ns}$ cross-ply stacking sequences and a conical shape projectile with steel core, copper skin and lead filler were considered. First high-velocity impact tests were conducted under various test conditions. Three tests were repeated under the same impact condition. Projectile velocity before and after penetration were measured by infrared ray sensors and magnetic sensors. High-speed camera shots and C-Scan images were also taken to measure the projectile velocities and to obtain the information on the damage shapes of the projectile and the laminate specimens. Next, the numerical simulation was performed using explicit finite element code LS-DYNA. Both the projectile and the composite laminate were modeled using three-dimensional solid elements. Residual velocity history of the impact projectile and the failure shape and extents of the laminates were predicted and systematically examined. The results of this study can provide the understanding on the penetration process of laminated composites during ballistic impact, as well as the damage amount and modes. These were thought to be utilized to predict the decrease of mechanical properties and also to help mitigate impact damage of composite structures.

In this study, a two-layer feed-forward neural network was constructed and applied to determine a mapping associating mix design and testing factors of cement-nano silica (NS)-rice husk ash ternary blended concrete samples with their performance in conductance to the water absorption properties. To generate data for the neural network model (NNM), a total of 174 field cores from 58 different mixes at three ages were tested in the laboratory for each of percentage, velocity and coefficient of water absorption and mix volumetric properties. The significant factors (six items) that affect the permeability properties of ternary blended concrete were identified by experimental studies which were: (1) percentage of cement; (2) content of rice husk ash; (3) percentage of 15 nm of $SiO_2$ particles; (4) content of NS particles with average size of 80 nm; (5) effect of curing medium and (6) curing time. The mentioned significant factors were then used to define the domain of a neural network which was trained based on the Levenberg-Marquardt back propagation algorithm using Matlab software. Excellent agreement was observed between simulation and laboratory data. It is believed that the novel developed NNM with three outputs will be a useful tool in the study of the permeability properties of ternary blended concrete and its maintenance.

Many routing algorithms, proposed for ad-hoc wireless networks, we based on source routing scheme and shortest path route has short lifetime especially in highly dense ad-hoc wireless networks. So some routing protocols such as SSA and ABR are considering the link stability and try finding more stable route. In this paper we propose a new routing algorithm considering utilization metric based on SSA routing algerian in Ad-Hoc networks. To reduce the bottleneck by specific metric of SSA, proposed scheme makes load balancing in networks by distributing the connections to several routes. For the evaluation of the performance we compare our scheme with existent routing protocol AODV and SSA. And the results, obtained using the ns-2 network simulation platform, show good performance that reduced the number of reconstructions remarkably by distributing the whole traffic to several routes when there are several stable routes.

The multi-band wireless local area network (WLAN) using 60 GHz band and the lower band (typically 2.4 GHz/5 GHz band) can support the very high data rate in short-distance communication using 60 GHz band and the long-distance communication using the lower band. For heightening the efficiency of multi-band WLAN, an band selection scheme is a necessity. In this paper, we propose an effective frequency band selection scheme for multi-band WLANs. By using computer simulation with NS-3, we show the performance of the proposed schemes when the stations suffer from the human blockage and the log-normal shadowing.

The third generation cellular system requires the seamless macro/micro mobility support. Mobile IP provides a simple and scalable macro mobility solution but lacks the support for fast handoff control in micro-domain. However, A lot of micro-mobility protocols have been proposed to complement the Mobile IP capability by providing the fast, seamless, and local handoff control. Cellular If also provides the seamless mobility support in limited geographical area. But semi-soft handoff mechanism of Cellular IP produces the packet loss and the duplication problem due to the difference of propagation delay between the new path and the old path. In this paper, we present an efficient handoff mechanism in micro-domain. The proposed handoff mechanism uses the SCD (Suitable Cross Delay) in order to minimize the packet loss and the duplication problem during the handoff. Also, the proposed mechanism is verified by the performance evaluation through the NS-2 Simulation.

In this paper, we propose an address autoconfiguration mechanism and a route establishment mechanism appropriate for the modified MANET architecture which overcomes the multi-link subnet problem. For the delivery of Router Advertisement (RA) messages without causing the duplicate packet reception problem in the multi-hop wireless network environment, the Scope-Extended RA (Scope-Extended Router Advertisement) message is defined. Also, by defining the MANET Prefix option, a MANET node is allowed to send packets destined to a host not in the MANET directly to the gateway. This can prevent the performance degradation caused by broadcasting control messages of the reactive routing protocol for route establishment. The performance of the proposed mechanism is analyzed through NS-2 based simulations and, according to the simulation results, it is shown that the proposed mechanism performs well in terms of the control message overhead.

The development of wireless network technology allows high data rate seamless communication irrespective of the place and time in various emerging mobile service environment. Unlike wired networks, however, wireless networks utilize expensive limited bandwidth. MBS(Multicast Broadcast Service), which is supported by mobile WiMAX system based on IEEE802.16e, overcomes this problem using a shared downlink channel for efficiently supporting a number of users. However. the coverage and throughput of the system are significantly affected by the channel condition. In this paper we propose on MBS system employing Mobile Multi-Hop Relay(MMR) and adaptive modulation and coding(AMC) scheme. The result of NS-2 computer simulation shows that the throughput and transmission time are substantially improved by the proposed approach compared to the existing MBS system.

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) can be expected to provide improved network performance because it transmits data through multiple paths. However, Bufferbloat, which unexpectedly occurs in the transmission path, degrades not only the performance of the corresponding path but also the performance of other paths, so that the performance is worse than that of a single TCP. In this paper, we propose the transmission status monitoring method at the sender's MPTCP level and also HoL packets retransmission algorithm in order to solve the Bufferbloat problem. The proposed algorithm enables Bufferbloat detection by the sender side independently, and it can resolve the HoL blocking problem by identifying the HoL packet in the proposed transmission status monitoring buffer and retransmitting it to the normal path. Simulation results based on NS-3 show that the proposed algorithm achieves the improved throughput performance up to 22.8% compared to the existing MPTCP, and the average number of queued packets in the sender and receiver's buffers is decreased to 44.3% and 9.2%, respectively.

In wired networks, packet losses mostly occur due to congestion. TCP reacts to the congestion by decreasing its congestion window, thus to reduce network utilization. In wireless networks, however, losses may occur due to the high bit-error rate of the transmission medium or due to fading and mobility. Nevertheless, TCP still reacts to packet losses according to its congestion control scheme, thus to reduce the network utilization unnecessarily. This reduction of network utilization causes the performance of TCP to decrease. In this paper, we predict packet loss by using RSS(Received Signal Strengths) on the wireless and suggest adding RSS flag bit in ACK packet of MH. By using RSS flag bit in ACK, the FH(Fixed Host) decides whether it adopt congestion control scheme or not for the maximum throughput. The result of the simulation by NS-2 shows that the proposed mechanism significantly increases sending amount and receiving amount by 40% at maximum.
