The composite lognormal-GPD models (LN-GPD) enjoys both merits from log-normality for the body of distribution and GPD for the thick tailedness of the observation. However, in the estimation perspective, LN-GPD model performs poorly due to numerical instability. Therefore, a two-stage procedure, that estimates threshold first then estimates other parameters later, is a natural method to consider. This paper considers five nonparametric threshold estimation methods widely used in extreme value theory and compares their performance in LN-GPD parameter estimation. A simulation study reveals that simultaneous maximum likelihood estimation performs good in threshold estimation, but very poor in tail index estimation. However, the nonparametric method performs good in tail index estimation, but introduced bias in threshold estimation. Our method is illustrated to the service time of an Israel bank call center and shows that the LN-GPD model fits better than LN or GPD model alone.

As ground air traffic control at the airport is one of the most important tasks in air transport, attention to the development of a related simulator has expanded all around the world. For this reason, this research describes the characteristics and advantages of this advanced aerodrome traffic control simulator, developed in South Korea, as well as its linkage with A-SMGCS, which is planned to be developed in the future. One of the characteristics of this simulator is that it is possible to train an air traffic controller independently, especially under various conditions such as in different weathers and normal or abnormal circumstances. Therefore, this aerodrome traffic control simulator, through the comprehensive training under various conditions, will contribute to aviation safety and airport capacity enhancement training.

This study proposes the improvement of the present Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) management system of MOE (Ministry of Environment). The margin of safety (MOS) is calculated by a method using standard error and a method using variability and uncertainty. The allocation of pollutant loads are calculated using three methods, equal load reduction method, equal percent removal method and method using equity standards. This study applied the improved TMDL management system to the Anyangcheon watershed. Since MOS varies from 12% to 44% due to the high variability of measured and simulated data, it must not be ignored in the TMDL. The method using equity standards is the most proper in this application since the others produced unrealistic allocations. Area, runoff, water use quantity, population and budget are considered for equity standards. This study shows that this allocation method can be also applicable for the administrative units as well as the sub-watersheds. Finally, Hydrologic Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) with the allocated pollutant load was used to confirm whether it satisfy the water quality standard or not. This study will be helpful to improve the MOS and allocation system TMDL in the future.

The aspect of future warfare is NCW(Network Centric Warfare) in accordance with the IT development, so MND have the planning of M-BcN(Military Broadband convergence Network) establishment as the basic system of NCW by the end of 2008. IPv6 address must be managed systematically as a essential element of NCW. In the previous study, it is designed on the basis of the present military information communication network topology. However, it makes some problems. First, it is difficult for present topology to adapt the future M-BcN which is different from the present military network topology. Second, it has defects of inefficiency of route aggregation and enlargement of routing table size. In this paper, we improved the route aggregation and routing table size by assigning the hierarchical address on the basis of M-BcN topology and adjusting the position of field identifying service network. Furthermore, it is proved by the network simulation program(OPNET 12.0).

Quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning for a cognitive mesh network (CMN) with heterogeneous services has become a challenging area of research in recent days. Considering both real-time (RT) and non-real-time (NRT) traffic in a multihop CMN, [1] studied cross-layer resource management, including joint access control, route selection, and resource allocation. Due to the complexity of the formulated resource allocation problems, which are mixed-integer non-linear programming, a low-complexity yet efficient algorithm was proposed there to approximately solve the formulated optimization problems. In contrast, in this work, we present an application of genetic algorithm (GA) to re-address the hard resource allocation problems studied in [1]. Novel initialization, selection, crossover, and mutation operations are designed such that solutions with enough randomness can be generated and converge with as less number of attempts as possible, thus improving the efficiency of the algorithm effectively. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the newly proposed GA-based algorithm. Furthermore, by comparing the performance of the newly proposed algorithm with the one proposed in [1], more insights have been obtained in terms of the tradeoff among QoS provisioning for RT traffic, throughput maximization for NRT traffic, and time complexity of an algorithm for resource allocation in a multihop network such as CMN.

Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) is the next-generation technology mitigating the bottleneck between high-capacity local area networks (LANs) and a backbone network. The bottleneck is aggrevated depending on burstiness and long range dependence (LRD) of traffic characteristics as well as amount of outgoing traffic from the high-capacity LANs. The proposed scheme decreases average packet delay for data upstreaming by considering such traffic characteristics to dynamically allocate bandwidth to multiple optical network units (ONUs). In addition, it can appropriately support delay-sensitive traffic such as constant bit ratio (CBR) traffic by making maximum cycle time fix regardless of the number of ONUs. The comprehensive simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme acheives up to 77% and 82% lower than previous schemes in terms of average packet delay and average queue size while it limits the maximum cycle time to twice of the basic cycle time.

This study analyzed the system level performance of the Mobile WiMAX-based TICN, and the effects of the use of BS-OTM in terms of the throughput of individual users as well as the overall system, assuming that other stationary BSs are distributed randomly. When BS-OTM is used, the CINRs decrease due to the additional interference from the BS-OTM from the perspective of SSs that are served by the same BS as when OTM BS is not used. On the other hand, from the perspective of SSs that had low CINRs, the CINRs increase significantly due to the new service from BS-OTM. Considering both effects, the cell throughput can be increased using BS-OTM. The CINR distribution and throughput of the overall system, changing the carrier frequency, position and velocity of the BS-OTM were also evaluated.

This paper presents a new idea of structural design of the optical access network for IPOW(IP over WDM) services. More efficient network can be constructed, because the IP packets are transmitted directly to the WDM without going through an intermediate layer of networks. The wavelength Routing is based on a label switching technology. The ability to transmission of high volume traffics and QoS capability of the optical label switching directly to the end user of the IPOW optical internet networks is provided. As in AON(Active Optical Network) flexible bandwidth on demand subscribers is allocated. By the Simulation of the proposed optical access networks to measure the BER(Bits Error Ratio) at the end of the nodes the network characteristics are analyzed. These results are based on the design of efficient optical network.

Overlay networks have been widely deployed upon the Internet by Service Providers (SPs) to provide improved network services. However, the interaction between each overlay and traffic engineering (TE) as well as the interaction among co-existing overlays may occur. In this paper, we adopt both non-cooperative and cooperative game theory to analyze these interactions, which are collectively called hybrid interaction. Firstly, we model a situation of the hybrid interaction as an n+1-player non-cooperative game, in which overlays and TE are of equal status, and prove the existence of Nash equilibrium (NE) for this game. Secondly, we model another situation of the hybrid interaction as a 1-leader-n-follower Stackelberg-Nash game, in which TE is the leader and co-existing overlays are followers, and prove that the cost at Stackelberg-Nash equilibrium (SNE) is at least as good as that at NE for TE. Thirdly, we propose a cooperative coalition mechanism based on Shapley value to overcome the inherent inefficiency of NE and SNE, in which players can improve their performance and form stable coalitions. Finally, we apply distinct genetic algorithms (GA) to calculate the values for NE, SNE and the assigned cost for each player in each coalition, respectively. Analytical results are confirmed by the simulation on complex network topologies.

Wireless services and devices that use frequency increase more and more because of advancement of the industry. Therefore, the available spectrum band becomes increasingly insufficient. Cognitive Radio, which adaptively utilizes the vacant licensed spectrum band, is considered as an effective way to utilize the spectrum resource shortage. CR user should move from current allocated channel to vacant channel to avoid the interference to the primary user when the primary user appears in the current channel. In this case, CR system undergoes the break off time until handshake is completed. So, in order to guarantee the Quality of Service(QoS) of CR system, fast handshake method is required. In this paper, we propose the embedded control signal transmission technique to reduce the break off time. This method can transmit the control signals in data transmission period as well as the broadcasting period. Proposed method can improve the data throughput and decrease the break off time. Computer based simulation proves that our proposed scheme outperforms conventional one.
