This paper proposes a dynamic downlink load control scheme that jointly employs dynamic load threshold management and virtual coverage management schemes to reduce the degree of performance degradation due to traffic overload in two-tier femtocell networks. With the proposed scheme, the downlink load in a serving macrocell is controlled with a load threshold which is adjusted dynamically depending on the varying downlink load conditions of neighboring macrocells. In addition, traffic overloading is alleviated by virtually adjusting the coverage of the overloaded serving macrocell, based on the adjusted load threshold of the serving macrocell. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the performance of two-tier femtocell networks in terms of the outage probability and sum throughput. This improvement is significantly increased with appropriate values of load thresholds and with an intermediate-level adjustment of the virtual coverage area (i.e., handover hysteresis margin: HOM). Furthermore, the proposed scheme outperforms both a previously proposed load control scheme with a static load threshold and the LTE system without a HOM adjustment.

An optimization of the M/M/1 queue with impatient customers is studied. The impatient customer does not enter the system if his or her virtual waiting time exceeds the threshold K ＞ 0. After assigning three costs to the system, a cost proportional to the virtual waiting time, a penalty to each impatient customer, and also a penalty to each unit of the idle period of the server, we show that there exists a threshold K which minimizes the long-run average cost per unit time.

Cloud Computing can be viewed as a dynamically-scalable pool of resources. Virtualization is one of the key technologies enabling Cloud Computing functionalities. Virtual machines (VMs) scheduling and allocation is essential in Cloud Computing environment. In this paper, two dynamic VMs scheduling and allocating schemes are presented and compared. One dynamically on-demand allocates VMs while the other deploys optimal threshold to control the scheduling and allocating of VMs. The aim is to dynamically allocate the virtual resources among the Cloud Computing applications based on their load changes to improve resource utilization and reduce the user usage cost. The schemes are implemented by using SimPy, and the simulation results show that the proposed adaptive scheme with one threshold can be effectively applied in a Cloud Computing environment both performance-wise and cost-wise.

가상화 환경에서는 물리적 자원을 여러 가상 머신이 같이 사용한다. 그러나 특정 가상 머신이 컴퓨팅 자원을 많이 쓰면 다른 가상 머신들이 동작하지 못하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 다양한 방법이 있다. 이 중 대표적인 것이 특정의 가상 머신을 다른 서버(이 서버를 타겟 서버라고 함)에 이주시키는 방법이다. 이는 가상 머신을 타겟 서버에 이주시키면서 서버의 과부하가 전이되는 현상이 있고, 가상 머신을 다시 다른 서버로 이주시켜야 하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 동적으로 임계치를 적용하여 이주 대상을 결정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 동적 임계치를 적용한 이주 알고리즘은 다음과 같은 특징을 가진다. 첫째, 서버의 CPU, 네트워크, 그리고 메모리 등의 자원 사용률의 변화에 따라 동적으로 임계치를 적용한다. 둘째, 서버에서 임계치를 초과한 자원을 기준으로 가상 머신 집합과 타겟 서버를 결정한다. 셋째, 타겟 서버의 자원 사용률을 기준으로 가상 머신을 결정한다.

In the centralized cloud controlled environment, the decision-making and monitoring play crucial role where in the host controller (HC) manages the resources across hosts in data center (DC). HC does virtual machine (VM) and physical hosts management. The VM management includes VM creation, monitoring, and migration. If HC down, the services hosted by various hosts in DC can't be accessed outside the DC. Decentralized VM management avoids centralized failure by considering one of the hosts from DC as HC that helps in maintaining DC in running state. Each host in DC has many VM's with the threshold limit beyond which it can't provide service. To maintain threshold, the host's in DC does VM migration across various hosts. The data in migration is in the form of plaintext, the intruder can analyze packet movement and can control hosts traffic. The incorporation of security mechanism on hosts in DC helps protecting data in migration. This paper discusses an approach for dynamic HC selection, VM selection and secure VM migration over cloud environment.

Knowledge of a power semiconductor's operating temperature is important in circuit design and converter control. Designing appropriate circuitry that does not affect regular circuit operation during virtual junction temperature measurement at actual operating conditions is a demanding task for engineers. The proposed method enables virtual junction temperature estimation with a dedicated modified gate driver circuit based on real-time measurement of a semiconductor's quasi-threshold voltage. A simulation was conducted before the circuit was designed to verify the concept and to determine the basic properties and potential drawbacks of the proposed method.

최근 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스의 등장으로 멀티캐스트를 통한 컨텐츠의 전송이 빠르게 늘어나고 있으며 이를 처리하기 위한 스위치 기술의 중요성이 높아지고 있다. CICQ 스위치 구조는 cross point의 버퍼를 이용하여 HoL blocking 확률을 낮출 수 있으며 스케줄링이 간단하다는 장점이 있지만 트래픽의 부하가 높아짐에 따라 멀티캐스트 트래픽의 처리율이 급격히 떨어질 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 이를 해결하기 몇몇의 멀티캐스트 셀 할당 기법들과 입력 포트와 cross point 사이의 스케줄링 기법들이 제안되었지만 여전히 멀티캐스트 트래픽의 충분한 처리율을 보장하지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 BA 셀 할당 기법과 VT 기법을 제안하여 멀티캐스트 트래픽의 HoL blocking 확률을 낮추고 cross point 버퍼의 전용 공간을 확보하여 멀티캐스트 트래픽의 처리율을 보장 할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 방법을 이용하여 QoS를 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a new DR(Dead Reckoning) algorithm in client-server-based networked virtual environment using network delay estimation. In the algorithm, a new update packet is sent to server (or client) whenever the difference of current real value and tracking value after network delay is larger than threshold. To confirm the proposed algorithm, a test network game was implemented. Through iterative field tests, we knew that this algorithm provides fair service and stability.

This research studies real time interaction and dynamic data shared through 3D scenes in virtual network environments. In a distributed virtual environment of client-server structure, consistency is maintained by the static information exchange; as jerks occur by packet delay when updating messages of dynamic data exchanges are broadcasted disorderly, the network bottleneck is reduced by predicting the movement path by using the Dead-reckoning algorithm. In Dead-reckoning path prediction, the error between the estimated and the actual static values which is over the threshold based on the shared object location requires interpolation and multicasting of the previous location by the ESPDU of DIS. The shared dynamic data of the 3D virtual environment is implementation using the VRML.

In this paper, an analytical threshold voltage model is developed for a short-channel double-material-gate (DMG) strained-silicon (s-Si) on silicon-germanium ($Si_{1-X}Ge_X$) MOSFET structure. The proposed threshold voltage model is based on the so called virtual-cathode potential formulation. The virtual-cathode potential is taken as minimum channel potential along the transverse direction of the channel and is derived from two-dimensional (2D) potential distribution of channel region. The 2D channel potential is formulated by solving the 2D Poisson's equation with suitable boundary conditions in both the strained-Si layer and relaxed $Si_{1-X}Ge_X$ layer. The effects of a number of device parameters like the Ge mole fraction, Si film thickness and gate-length ratio have been considered on threshold voltage. Further, the drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) has also been analyzed for gate-length ratio and amount of strain variations. The validity of the present 2D analytical model is verified with ATLAS$^{TM}$, a 2D device simulator from Silvaco Inc.
