In this paper, the on line volt/var control algorithms of the food Load Tap Changer (LTC) transformer and Shunt Capacitor(SC) are proposed for distribution volt/var regulation. In the existing volt/var control of the distribution substation, the voltage of feeders and var of distribution systems is mainly controlled by the LTC transformer tap position and on/off status of the shunt capacitor. The LTC and shunt capacitor bank has discrete operation characteristics and therefore it is very difficult to control volt/var at the distribution networks within the satisfactory levels. Also there is limitation of the operation times of the LTC and shunt capacitor bank because it is affects on their functional lifetime. The proposed volt/var control algorithm determine an optimal tap position of LTC and on/off status of shunt capacitors at a distribution network with the multiple feeders. The mathematical equations of the proposed method are introduced. Simple case study was performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Recently there is a growing interest in mobile cellular network providing multimedia service. However, the link bandwidth of mobile cellular network is not sufficient enough to provide satisfactory services to users. To overcome this problem, an adaptive framework has been proposed. In this study, we propose a new method of estimating DPR(Degradation Period Ratio) in an adaptive multimedia network where the bandwidth of ongoing call can be dynamically adjusted during its lifetime. DPR is a QoS(Quality of Service) parameter which represents the ratio of allocated bandwidth below a pre-defined target to the whole service time of a call. We improve estimation method of DPR using DTMC(Discrete Time Markov Chain) model by calculate mean degradation period, degradation probability more precisely than in existing studies. Under Threshold CAC(Call Admission Control) algorithm, we present analytically how to guarantee QoS to users and illustrate the method by numerical examples. The proposed method is expected to be used as one of CAC schemes in guaranteeing predefined QoS level of DPR.

IEEE 802.11p is a standard MAC protocol for wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVEs). If a packet collision happens when a safety message is sent out, IEEE 802.11p chooses a random back-off counter value in a fixed-size contention window. However, depending on the random choice of back-off counter value, it is still possible that less important messages are sent out first while more important messages are delayed longer until sent out. In this paper, we present a new scheme for safety message scheduling, called the enhanced message priority mechanism (EMPM). It consists of the following two components: the benefit-value algorithm, which calculates the priority of the messages depending on the speed, deceleration, and message lifetime; and the back-off counter selection algorithm, which chooses the non-uniform back-off counter value in order to reduce the collision probability and to enhance the throughput of the highly beneficial messages. Numerical results show that the EMPM can significantly improve the throughput and delay of messages with high benefits when compared with existing MAC protocols. Consequently, the EMPM can provide better QoS support for the more important and urgent messages.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 소스(Source)에서 Sink까지의 데이터 수집(Data Dissemination)은 정확한 정보를 제공, 구축하는데 있어 중요한 부분 중에 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 필요한 정보만을 신속하고 정확하게 얻기 위하여 모바일 싱크(Mobile Sink)을 이용한다. 모바일 싱크(Mobile Sink) 대해서 에너지를 효율적으로 사용할 수 있는 라우팅 기법을 소개하고, 모바일 싱크(Mobile Sink)가 이동할 때 네트워크의 연결 유지 시간(network lifetime)을 연장시키기 위해 Source에서 모바일 싱크(Mobile Sink)까지 데이터 수집(Data Dissemination)을 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법으로 Source와 Mobile Sink까지 가상 좌표를 통해 data dissemination path를 효율적으로 설정하고, 모바일 싱크(Mobile Sink)가 다른 좌표로 이동하였을 경우 전 좌표에서 설정되었던 경로와 새로운 좌표에서 설정된 경로를 유지, 수정을 통해 over-hearing 현상을 줄임으로써 효율적으로 에너지를 소비하도록 한다. 제안된 기법은 무선 센서 네트워크 환경에서 노드들의 수명을 연장시키고, 데이터 전송 시간을 단축시켜 더 빠른 데이터 수집(Data Dissemination)을 수식적으로 결과를 보여 준다.

The frequency of reactor coolant leakage is expected to increase over the lifetime of a nuclear power plant owing to degradation mechanisms, such as flow-acceleration corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. When loss of coolant accidents (LOCAs) occur, several parameters change rapidly depending on the size and location of the cracks. In this study, leak flow during LOCAs is predicted using a deep fuzzy neural network (DFNN) model. The DFNN model is based on fuzzy neural network (FNN) modules and has a structure where the FNN modules are sequentially connected. Because the DFNN model is based on the FNN modules, the performance factors are the number of FNN modules and the parameters of the FNN module. These parameters are determined by a least-squares method combined with a genetic algorithm; the number of FNN modules is determined automatically by cross checking a fitness function using the verification dataset output to prevent an overfitting problem. To acquire the data of LOCAs, an optimized power reactor-1000 was simulated using a modular accident analysis program code. The predicted results of the DFNN model are found to be superior to those predicted in previous works. The leak flow prediction results obtained in this study will be useful to check the core integrity in nuclear power plant during LOCAs. This information is also expected to reduce the workload of the operators.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of multiple tiny and power constrained sensors which use radio frequencies to carry out sensing in a designated sensor area. To effectively design and implement reliable WSN, it is critical to consider models, protocols, and algorithms that can optimize energy consumption of all the sensor nodes with optimal amount of packet delivery. It has been observed that deploying a single sink node comes with numerous challenges especially in a situation with high node density and congestion. Sensor nodes close to a single sink node receive more transmission traffic load compared to other sensors, thus causing quick depletion of energy which finally leads to an energy hole and sink hole problems. In this paper, we proposed the use of multiple energy efficient sink nodes with brute force technique under optimized parameters to improve on the number of packets delivered within a given time. Simulation results not only depict that, deploying N sink nodes in a sensor area has a maximum limit to offer a justifiable improvement in terms of packet delivery ratio but also offers a reduction in End to End delay and reliability in case of failure of a single sink node, and an improvement in the network lifetime rather than deploying a single static sink node.

IEEE 802.15.4 is the standard wireless link technology for low power, low cost, but long lifetime applications including wireless sensor network (WSN). Currently, whether or not IP architecture should be used in WSN over its 802.15.4 link is under dispute. Such kind of arguments may last for a long time without some convincing experimental measurements of real case performances of IP over 802.15.4 implementation, and thus prevent the advance of related research. In RFC4944, IETF proposed the 6LoWPAN specification to enable IPv6 communication over low power, wireless personal area networks. We try to alleviate the dispute and make the direction clearer to the community so as to promote further valuable research in this topic.

센서네트워크에서 가장 기본적이고 중요한 기능 중 하나는 주변정보를 수집하고 수집한 정보를 취합하는 것이다. 하지만 정보 취합 과정에서 특정 경로를 자주 이용하게 되면, 해당 경로상의 노드들에게 에너지 소비가 집중되어 네트워크가 일찍 단절 될 수 있다. 따라서 다양한 라우팅 경로를 갖고, 모든 노드의 부하를 균등하게 분산하여 네트워크 라이프타임을 늘리는 것이 중요하다. 그간, 여러 논문에서 리니어프로그래밍을 통해 각 노드의 부하를 균등하게 분산하기 위한 연구들이 활발히 이루어 졌다. 하지만 기존 연구들에서는 무선환경에서의 충돌, 감쇄 등으로 인한 전송 실패와 재전송에 드는 에너지측면을 제대로 반영하지 못하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 무선 네트워크 환경에서, 노드 간 링크퀄리티를 반영하여 재전송에 드는 비용까지 고려된, 정교한 부하 균등 분산 기법을 소개한다. 링크퀄리티를 고려하였을 때, 그렇지 않았을 때에 비해 에너지 측면과 전송 지연 측면에서 최대 100%를 상회하는 성능향상 결과를 보인다.

Wireless sensor network is wieldy use for IoT application. The sensor node consider as physical device in IoT architecture. This all sensor node are operated with battery so the power consumption is very high during the data communication and low during the sensing the environment. Without proper planning of data communication the network might be dead very early so primary objective of the cluster based routing protocol is to enhance the battery life and run the application for longer time. In this paper we have comprehensive of twenty research paper related with clustering based routing protocol. We have taken basic information, network simulation parameters and performance parameters for the comparison. In particular, we have taken clustering manner, node deployment, scalability, data aggregation, power consumption and implementation cost many more points for the comparison of all 20 protocol. Along with basic information we also consider the network simulation parameters like number of nodes, simulation time, simulator name, initial energy and communication range as well energy consumption, throughput, network lifetime, packet delivery ration, jitter and fault tolerance parameters about the performance parameters. Finally we have summarize the technical aspect and few common parameter must be fulfill or consider for the design energy efficient cluster based routing protocol.

A multipath routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) provides advantage such as reliability improvement and load balancing by transmitting data through divided paths. For these reasons, existing multipath routing protocols divide path appropriately or create independent paths efficiently. However, when the sink node moves to avoid hotspot problem or satisfy the requirement of the applications, the existing protocols have to reconstruct multipath or exploit foot-print chaining mechanism. As a result, the existing protocols will shorten the lifetime of a network due to excessive energy consumption, and lose the advantage of multipath routing due to the merging of paths. To solve this problem, we propose a multipath creation and maintenance scheme to support the mobile sink node. The proposed protocol can be used to construct local grid structure with restricted area and exploit grid structure for constructing the multipath. The grid structure can also be extended depending on the movement of the sink node. In addition, the multipath can be partially reconstructed to prevent merging paths. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol is superior to the existing protocols in terms of energy efficiency and packet delivery ratio.
