In this paper, a tradeoff between the total energy consumption-per-bit and the end-to-end rate under spatial reuse in wireless multi-hop network is developed and analyzed. The end-to-end rate of the network is the number of information bits transmitted (end-to-end) per channel use by any node in the network that is forwarding the data. In order to increase the bandwidth efficiency, spatial reuse is considered whereby simultaneous relay transmissions are allowed provided there is a minimum separation between such transmitters. The total energy consumption-per-bit includes the energy transmitted and the energy consumed by the receiver to process (demodulate and decoder) the received signal. The total energy consumption-per-bit is normalized by the distance between a source-destination pair in order to be consistent with a direct (single-hop) communication network. Lower bounds on this energy-bandwidth tradeoff are analyzed using convex optimization methods. For a given location of relays, it is shown that the total energy consumption-per-bit is minimized by optimally selecting the end-to-end rate. It is also demonstrated that spatial reuse can improve the bandwidth efficiency for a given total energy consumption-per-bit. However, at the rate that minimizes the total energy consumption-per-bit, spatial reuse does not provide lower energy consumption-per-bit compared to the case without spatial reuse. This is because spatial reuse requires more receiver energy consumption at a given end-to-end rate. Such degraded energy efficiency can be compensated by varying the minimum separation of hops between simultaneous transmitters. In the case of equi-spaced relays, analytical results for the energy-bandwidth tradeoff are provided and it is shown that the minimum energy consumption-per-bit decreases linearly with the end-to-end distance.

본 논문에서는 OFDMA 기반 relay 시스템에서 throughput 성능개선을 위한, Base Station (BS)과 Relay Station (RS)의 sub-cell 커버리지 설정기법을 제안한다. Relay 시스템에서는 BS-RS 링크에서 무선 자원을 추가로 소비하므로, RS간 자원의 재사용을 고려하면 자원의 효과적 사용이 가능하다. 그러나, 이때 신호의 간섭이 증가하므로 단말기의 수신 Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 그리므로 본 연구에서는 자원 재사용 정도에 따른 사용가능 자원의 증가를 수신 SINR과 함께 sub-cell 커버리지 결정의 요인으로 함께 고려한다. 모의실험을 통한 결과분석을 통해 throughput 성능을 개선할 수 있는 sub-cell 커버리지를, 다양한 자원재사용 패턴에 따라 도출하였다.

재사용을 지원하는 라이브러리 구축을 위해서는 다양한 응용영역에 적용할 수 있는 분류스킴과 검색방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 재사용 단계의 접근성의 핵심을 이루는 분류스킴을 클러스터를 이용한 계층적인 구조를 통해 정의하였다. 또한 검색시스템의 기능과 정확도를 결정하는 라이브러리 구조에 클러스터링 정보를 첨가하여 부품의 표현방법과 클래스들간의 유사관계를 기술, 관리하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이에 따라 개발자에게 소프트웨어 부품의 인덱싱 및 스테밍 등을 통한 분류 및 검색 방법을 제공함으로써 재사용부품에 대한 탐색가능성을 높이고 재사용의 효과를 증진시키려한다. 그 결과로 재사용 라이브러리의 구축과정을 자동화하였고 기존의 문제점인 확장성과 관련된 모두를 고려한 분류스킴을 통하여 재사용라이브러리와 검색시스템을 구축하였으며 관련연구를 클러스터 계층도를 통해 시각화함으로써 탐색가능성에 대한 효과를 높였다. 또한 검색결과는 재사용시스템 CARS 2.1에 통합되었다.

IEEE 802.11를 비롯한 여러 무선 네트워크에서는 multi-rate을 활용한 시스템 성능향상에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중에 한가지 연구결과로 제안된 방법이 rDCF.이다. 만약 Mesh 네트워크에서 rDCF를 동작시킨다면, 시스템 throughput의 증가, Packet delay의 감소와 항께 채널상태에 따라 포워딩 전략을 다르게 함으로써 채널 error의 영향이 줄어들 것으로 기대해 볼 수 있다. 하지만 기존의 rDCF를 아무런 revision 없이 Mesh 네트워크에 적용하기에는 spatial reuse 측면에서 비효율적이다. Mesh 네트워크에서는 외부 네트워크와 access point 지점이 되는 portal쪽으로 traffic이 집중되는 것이 일반적이므로 portal에 가까울수록 traffic간의 contention도 가중되므로 시스템 전체 성능에 영향을 미치게 된다. 이러한 문제를 줄이기 위하여 무선 네트워크 환경에서 spatial reuse 측면을 향상시킴으로써 동시에 진행되는 communication 수를 늘리는 방법이 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서 rDCF의 spatial reuse를 늘임으로써 좀더 Mesh Network위에서도 효율적으로 작동할 수 있는 기법을 제시하고자 한다.

Both coordinated multi-point transmission and frequency reuse are effective approaches to mitigate inter-cell interference and improve network coverage. The motivation of this work is to explore the manner to effectively utilize the spectrum resource by reasonably combining cooperation and frequency reuse. The $Mat{\acute{e}}rn$ cluster process, which is appropriate to model networks with hot spots, is used to model the spatial distribution of base stations. Two cooperative mechanisms, coherent and non-coherent joint transmission (JT), are analyzed and compared. We also evaluate the effect of multiple antennas and imperfect channel state information. The simulation reveals that the proposed approach to combine cooperation and frequency reuse is effective to improve the network coverage for users located at both the center and the boundary of the cooperative region.

The adaptive reuse of older buildings to housing for the elderly persons is a relatively new but growing phenomenon in the Western Societies. With regard to many tangible and intangible benefits, adaptive reuse can be a way to help older persons who choose "aging-in-place" in the "long-term" community. The exploratory case study indentifies changes in the stisfaction level of residents after relocation to an adaptive reuse elderly apartment in a rural community in the U.S. Data were collected using personal interviews with 17 pre-occupancy and 16 post-occupancy respondents. Findings described characteristics of respondents and dwelling, neighborhood, and overall satisfaction level changes. This exploratory study, one of few studies about adaptive reuse for housing for the elderly, suggests implications for futher studies.

With expansion of modern cities, a huge number of old industrial facilities have been abandoned. Thus, in the development of ecological city, this study aims to conclude on these old facilities and their ecological landscape designs by analyzing successful cases. The approaches adopted are as follows. Starting with literature review, whereby old industrial facility's definition and developing process are pinpointed, the paper studies representative cases with reuse and re-development theories of ecological design for old industrial facilities, of which renovation types, reuse effects, and design features are particularly examined. Case studies also demonstrate considerations in ecological reuse designs, such as ecological restoration, energy conservation, rainwater collection, and utmost pollution reduction, etc. However, technology, environment and circumstance differences determine that each design project requires concrete analysis, which should also be considered in future ecological design for old industrial facilities.

Component-based software reuse has been generally regarded as a promising approach to improving software productivity and quality within software development. However, progress in component-based software reuse has been slower than expected. Much of the software reuse literature points to the lack of software components that can maximize users' benefits as the most important source of the slow progress. Considering that the underlying processes behind component-based software reuse are strikingly similar to commercial software marketing, this paper attempts to identify the aspects of software components that consumers value and to establish relationships between the identified aspects and consumer behavior in the software component market. More specifically, this paper focuses on the perceived subjective features of software components. This study was conducted in a web-based artificial market environment called "SofTrade."

For mobile wireless systems with full frequency reuse, co-channel interference near the cell coverage boundaries has a significant impact on the signal reception performance. This paper addresses an approach to efficiently mitigate the effect of downlink co-channel interference when multi-antenna terminals are used in cellular environments, by proposing a signal detection strategy combined with a system-level coordination for dynamic frequency reuse. We demonstrate the utilization of multi-antennas to perform spatial demultiplexing of both the desired signal and interfering signals from adjacent cells results in significant improvement of spectral efficiency compared to the maximal ratio combining (MRC) performance, especially when an appropriate frequency reuse based on the traffic loading condition is coordinated among cells. Both analytic expressions for the capacity and experimental results using the adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) are used to confirm the performance gain. The robustness of the proposed scheme against varying operational conditions such as the channel estimation error and shadowing effects are also verified by simulation results.

Due to open source policy, Android systems are exposed to a variety of security problems. In particular, app reuse attacks are detrimental threat to the Android system security. This is because attacker can create core malign components and quickly generate a bunch of malicious apps by reusing these components. Hence, it is very imperative to discern whether Android apps contain reused components. To meet this need, we propose an Android app reuse analysis technique based on the Sequential Hypothesis Testing. This technique quickly makes a decision with a few number of samples whether a set of Android apps is made through app reuse. We performed experimental study with 6 malicious app groups, 1 google and 1 third-party app group such that each group consists of 100 Android apps. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed analysis technique efficiently judges Android app groups with reused components.
