We propose a numerical scheme to simulate the time-domain echo signals at tracking radar for a realistic scenario where an EAD (expendable active decoy) and an airborne target are both in dynamic states. On various scenarios where the target takes different maneuvers, the trajectories of the EAD ejected from the target are accurately calculated by solving 6-DOF (Degree-of-Freedom) equations of the motion for the EAD. At each sampling time of the echo signal, the locations of the EAD and the target are assumed to be fixed. Thus, the echo power from the EAD can be simply calculated by using the Friis transmission formula. The returned power from the target can be computed based on the pre-calculated scattering matrix of the target. In this paper, an IPO (iterative physical optics) method is used to construct the scattering matrix database of the target. The sinc function-interpolation formulation (sampling theorem) is applied to compute the scattering at any incidence angle from the database. A simulator is developed based on the proposed scheme to estimate the echo signals, which can consider the movement of the airborne target and EAD, also the scattering of the target and the RF specifications of the EAD. For applications, we consider the detection probability of the target in the presence of the EAD based on Monte Carlo simulation.

Silicon nanoparticle is a promising material for electronic devices, photovoltaics, and biological applications. Here, we synthesize silicon nanoparticles via $CO_2$ laser pyrolysis and study the hydrogen flow effects on the characteristics of silicon nanoparticles using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry. In $CO_2$ laser pyrolysis, used to synthesize the silicon nanoparticles, the wavelength of the $CO_2$ laser matches the absorption cross section of silane. Silane absorbs the $CO_2$ laser energy at a wavelength of $10.6{\mu}m$. Therefore, the laser excites silane, dissociating it to Si radical. Finally, nucleation and growth of the Si radicals generates various silicon nanoparticle. In addition, researchers can introduce hydrogen gas into silane to control the characteristics of silicon nanoparticles. Changing the hydrogen flow rate affects the nanoparticle size and crystallinity of silicon nanoparticles. Specifically, a high hydrogen flow rate produces small silicon nanoparticles and induces low crystallinity. We attribute these characteristics to the low density of the Si precursor, high hydrogen passivation probability on the surface of the silicon nanoparticles, and low reaction temperature during the synthesis.

After starting digital terrestrial broadcasting, there have been a number oftrials to provide new services like data broadcasting on a spare bandwidth of a DTV channel. Recently, the Push-VOD service, which provides A/V contents on that bandwidth, gets more attention and is being standardized as NRT(Non-Real-Time) by ATSC. However, it is highly probable that the contents transmitted in this way contain many errors due to the DTV receiving environment. Thus, in order to improve the reliability of transmission, the contents should be transmitted repeatedly several times, considering the unidirectional property of DTV terrestrial network. In this paper, we propose a method to calculate the optimal number of repetitions to transmit each contents in a way that minimizes the number of errors occured, when trying to transmit several contents to the receiver in a restricted time, using Markov-chain modeling and dynamic programming approach.

Multicast Strategy is one of the cost-saving methods in the large scale VOD environment. However, it does involve complicated problems to implement VCR-like interactions for user's convenience in the multicast streaming system under considering the limited-server and the network's bandwidth in the multicast-transmission system. Therefore, the proper solution of settling such a problem is necessary. Thus, this paper which revised P2Patching[l] proposes LGST(Level Group Streaming Technique) which supports the VCR's function through cooperation among peers with heterogeneous bandwidth under the environment of P2P. This strategy can reduce latency by improving the acceptance of server and using the bandwidth of network efficiently. And for evaluate the proposed scheme's performance, I simulated the performance of streaming delivery topology and streaming quality in comparison with P2Patching. In evaluation to service request refusal ratio and service quality according to bandwidth decrement, the result of simulation shows that proposed LGST improves about $11{\sim}18%$ of performance than P2Patching. In the test of latency recovery according to fault probability and influence of VCR function operation duration, it shows similar performance.

Most of the study on fairness control method for Distributed-Queue Dual-Bus(DQDB) have been performed under specific load types such as equal probability load types or symmetric load types. On Web-based internet enviroments client-server load types are more practical traffic patlerns than specrfic load types. In this paper, an effiective fairness control method to distribute DQDR network bandwidth fairly to all stations under a client-server load is proposed. In order to implement a dynamic bandwidth timing capabihty needed to distribute the bandwidth fairty at heavy loads, the proposed method uses two pararnetexs, one is an access hrnit to legulate each station's packet transmission and the other is the number of extra emply slots that are yielded to downstream stations. In point of implementation this mechanism is simpler and easier than Bandwidth Tuning Mechanism(BTM) that uses an intermediate pattern and an adptation function. Simulation results show that it outperforms othen mecharusms.

With the rapid increase in the number of mobile terminals, demand for wireless technologies has sharply increased these days. While wireless communication provides advantages such as ease of deployment, mobility of terminals, continuity of session, and almost comparable transmission bandwidth to the wired communication, it has vulnerability to malicious radio attacks such as eavesdropping, denial of service, session hijacking, and jamming. Among a variety of methods of preventing wireless attacks, the MTD(Moving Target Defense) is the technique for improving the security capability of the defense system by constantly changing the ability of the system to be attacked. In this paper, in order to develop a resilient software defined radio communication testbed system, we present a novel MTD approach to change dynamically and randomly the radio parameters such as modulation scheme, operating frequency, packet size. The probability of successful attack on the developed MTD-based SDR communication system has been analysed in a mathematical way and verified through simulation.

Work to improve network throughput has been focused on network coding as the utilization of IoT-based application services increases and network usage increases rapidly. In network coding, nodes transform packets received from neighboring nodes into a combination of encoded packets for transmission and decoding at the destination. This scheme is based on trust among nodes, but in the IoT environment where nodes are free to join, a malicious node can fabricate the packet if it legally participates in the configuration. It is difficult to identify the authenticity of the encoded packet since the packet received at destination is not a single source but a combination of packets generated by several nodes. In this paper, we propose a method to detect "look-like-valid" packets that have been attacked and disguised in packets received at destination, and to identify valid messages in the reconstructions. This method shows that network coding performance is significantly improved because the destination can reconstruct a valid message with only received packets without retransmission with a high probability, despite the presence of disguised packets.

In this paper, we propose a novel relay selection technique which utilizes a priori decoding information at relays for buffer-aided successive relaying networks. In the conventional relaying schemes, a single relay pair is selected for receiving data from the source and transmitting data to the destination. In the proposed technique, however, all relays except the relay selected for transmitting data to the destination try to decode the received signal from the source, and they store the data if they succeed decoding. The proposed technique selects the relay such that it can succeed its own transmission and it maximizes the number of relays successfully decoding the data from the source at the same time. It is shown that the proposed relaying technique significantly outperforms the conventional buffer-aided relaying schemes in terms of outage probability through extensive computer simulations.

To support the WBAN, IEEE 802.15 Task Group 6 announced standardized documents on technical requirements of the PHY and MAC. In the IEEE 802.15.6 MAC protocol, CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) algorithm is performed based on the eight-level priorities according to the type of traffics of the periodic data from medical sensor nodes. Several nodes, which detected the changed bio signals, transmit emergency data at the same time, so latency could be higher than emergency latency and energy consumption will increase. In this thesis, we proposed a CSMA/CA algorithm in WBAN to solve these problems. Simulations are performed using a Castalia based on the OMNeT++ network simulation framework to estimate the performance of the proposed superframe and algorithms. Performance evaluation results show that the packet transmission success rate and energy efficiency are improved by reducing the probability of collision using the proposed MAC protocol.

Most of the energy used to operate a cellular network is consumed by a base station (BS), and reducing the transmission power of a BS is required for energy-efficient cellular networks. In this paper, a distributed transmit power control (TPC) algorithm is proposed based on the flocking model to improve the energy efficiency of a cellular network. Just as each bird in a flock attempts to match its velocity with the average velocity of adjacent birds, in the proposed algorithm each mobile station (MS) in a cell matches its rate with the average rate of the co-channel MSs in adjacent cells by controlling the transmit power of its serving BS. Simulation results show that the proposed TPC algorithm follows the same convergence properties as the flocking model and also effectively reduces the power consumption at the BSs while maintaining a low outage probability as the inter-cell interference increases. Consequently, it significantly improves the energy efficiency of a cellular network.
