A textile and capillary tube composite panel(TCP) was developed to simultaneously retrofit the seismic performance and the energy efficiency (e.g. heating or insulation performance) of existing unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. TCP is a light-weight mortar panel in which carbon textile reinforcements and capillary tubes are embedded. Textile reinforcements plays a role of seismic retrofit and capillary tubes that hot water circulates contribute to the energy retrofit. In this paper, the static cyclic loading tests were performed on the masonry walls with/without TCP to understand the seismic retrofit effect of TCP retrofit and the results were summarized. The results of the test showed that the TCP contributed to increase the capacity of the Shear strength and ductility of the URM walls. In addition, the deformation of the wall after cracking was substantially controlled by the carbon textile.

TCP is the most widely used transport protocol in Internet applications that guarantees a reliable data transfer. But, in the wireless multi-hop networks, TCP performance is degraded because it is designed for wired networks. The main reasons of TCP performance degradation are contention for wireless medium at the MAC layer, hidden terminal problem, exposed terminal problem, packet losses in the link layer, unfairness problem, reordering problem caused by path disconnection, bandwidth waste caused by exponential backoff of retransmission timer due to node's mobility and so on. Specially, in the mobile ad-hoc networks, discrepancy between a station's transmission range and interference range produces hidden terminal problem that decreases TCP performance greatly by limiting simultaneous transmission at a time. In this paper, we propose a new MAC algorithm for mobile ad-hoc networks to solve the problem that a node can not transmit and just increase CW by hidden terminal. In the IEEE 802.11 MAC DCF, a node increases CW exponentially when it fails to transmit, but the proposed algorithm, changes CW adaptively according to the reason of failure so we get a TCP performance enhancement. We show by ns-2 simulation that the proposed algorithm enhances the TCP performance by fairly distributing the transmission opportunity to the failed nodes by hidden terminal problems.

The biodegradable $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate ($\beta$-TCP)/poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) composites were synthesized by in situ polymerization with microwave energy. The degradation behavior of $\beta$-TCP/PLGA composite was investigated by soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 4 weeks. The molecular weight of the $\beta$-TCP/PLGA composites decreased with soaking time until week 2, whereas the loss rate of molecular weight reduced after week 2. The incubation time was needed for the degradation of the $\beta$-TCP, indicating that the $\beta$-TCP should be detached from the PLGA matrix and then degraded into SBF solution. The studies of mass loss of the composites with the soaking time revealed that the degradation behavior of PLGA would be processed with the transformation from the polymer to the oligomer followed by the degradation. Morphological changes, whisker-like, due to transformation and degradation of polymer in the composites were observed after week 2. On the basis of the results, it found that the degradation behavior of $\beta$-TCP/PLGA composites was influenced by the $\beta$-TCP content in the composites and the degradation rate of the composites could be controlled by the initial molecular weight of PLGA in the composites.

Ad-Hoc networks consist of a set of mobile hosts that communicate using wireless links, without the use of other communicate support facilities (such as base stations). The topology of an Ad-Hoc network changes due to the movement of mobile host. which may lead to sudden packet loss. Recently, a large amount of research has focused on the routing protocols needed in such an environment. but researches about Internet traffic performance analysis were unexhausted. Accordingly, we have simulated Ad-Hoc mobile network that using AODV routing protocol and Ad-Hoc mobile network topology size and node speed as simulation estimation-factor to analysis traffic performance. As the result of the simulation, we identify that TCP /Reno was more sensitive than TCP/Sack about node speed and a number of the node.

In this paper we verified that the window based TCP performance of throughput can be improved by the traffic connection efficiency. and have studied the performance of traffic congestion control that is controlling transmission rate. In wireless network, the bidirectional node is run by estimating the usage rate of link of error control idle and the throughput is shown by transmitting segments. The throughput rate shows almost no delay due to the bidirectional traffic connection efficiency up to the allowable point as increasing the transport rate by the critical value, depending on the size of end-to-end node queue of the increase of transport rate. This paper reports the performance improvement as the number of feedback connection traffic congestion control increases because of the increase of the number of asynchronous transport TCP connections.

In this paper, we analyze TCP congestion control algorithm over ATM-UBR network. TCP congestion control algorithm consists of slow start, congestion avoidance, fast recovery, fast retransmit. We analyze the ATM-UBR network service using the BSD 4.3 TCP Reno, Vanilla. However we found the fact that the characteristic of fast retransmit, recovery algorithm makes a serious degradation of Performance in multiple losses of packets. We propose new fast retransmit, recovery algorithm to improve the problem. The results of performance analysis improve the multiple losses of packets using a proposed fast retransmit, recovery algorithm.

위성 ATM 망에서 TCP/IP 기반의 응용 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 위성의 긴 전송지연과 이성 채널의 버스트 오류 특성에 따른 정확한 전송 성능의 영향과 분석이 요구되며, 아울러 성능 목표치가 제시되어야 한다. 본 논문은 2Mbps급 KOREASAT위성을 이용한 위성망과 지상망이 상호 연동된 실제 위성/지상 ATM LANE(LAN Emulation)을 구현하고, 위성 채널의 Eb/No와 TCP 소켓 버퍼 크기, 그리고 전송 메시지 크기를 바꾸어 가면서 그때의 TCP/IP 트래픽과 FTP의 전송성능을 비교 분석하였다. 아울러 IPoA(IP over ATM)기반의 영상회의 서비스에 대한 전송 품질 및 메시지 전달 특성 등을 분석하였다. 연구결과 TCP 소켓 버퍼 크기가 증가할 때 TCP의 전체 성능이 증가함을 알 수 있으나 제한된 최대 윈도우 크기 64kbytes와 위성채널의 오류 특성으로 인해 실제 최대 전송속도는 이론상의 목표치를 달성하지 못함을 보여 주었다. 또한 2Mbps 위성링크에서 Eb/No가 6dB 이하에서는 실제적으로 제공할 수 있는 최대 전송성능의 50%이하로 떨어져 TCP/IP over ATM 서비스가 거의 불가능함을 보여주었다. FTP의 경우, 파일 크기가 작으면 최대 전송속도에 도달하기 전에 파일 전송이 완료되어 대역폭 이용의 효율성 측면에서 TCP/IP의 slow start 메케니즘이 적절하지 않음을 보여주었다. 이울러 IPoA영상회의 서비스에서도 Eb/No가 약 6.5dB 이하에서는 영상이 거의 정지되고, 메시지 전달시간도 ITU에서 권고하는 목표치를 훨씬 상회하여 서비스가 거의 불가능함을 보였다.

In this paper, we have proposed a novel re-marking strategy at tbe ingressive edge router to improve TCP fairness of DiffServ Assured Services. Our re-marking strategy introduces a configuration method of the Temporary Permitted Rate (TPR). By using this new configuration method of TPR, IN packets of greedy TCP flows are re-marked to OUT packets pertinently and constantly whenever the network traffic changes. Simulation Results show that this novel re-marking strategy can regulate the packet transmission rate of each TCP flow to the contract rate without a decrease in the link utilization.

Stream Control Transmission Protocol(SCTP) is a transport layer protocol to support the data transmission. SCTP is similar to Transmission Control Protocol(TCP) in a variety of aspects. However, several features of SCTP including multi-homing and multi-streaming incur the performance difference from TCP. This paper highlights the data transfer during the initial slow start phase in SCTP congestion control composed of slow start phase and congestion avoidance phase. In order to compare the mean transfer time between SCTP and TCP, we experiment with different performance parameters including bandwidth, round trip time, and data length. By varying data length, we also measure the corresponding initial window size, which is one of factors affecting the mean transfer time. For the experiment, we have written server and client applications by C language using SCTP socket API and have measured the transfer time by ethereal program. We transferred data between client and server using round-robin method. Analysis of these experimental results from the testbed implementation shows that larger initial window size of SCTP than that of TCP brings the reduction in the mean transfer time of SCTP compared with TCP by 15 % on average during the initial slow start phase.

In this paper, we propose PEP based on cross-layer and network coding in digital video broadcasting-return channel via satellite (DVB-RCS) networks. In particular, we propose not only a scheme of cross-layer information exchange for interaction between TCP and the resource allocation (RA) scheme in the link layer but also a tuning algorithm for the TCP contention window (CWND) by using information on the RA in the link layer and the redundancy rate for network-coded packets. The simulation results show that TCP CWND can be adjusted by RA information in the proposed protocol. Furthermore, through the transmission of network-coded packets and the proposed CWND tuning algorithm, TCP throughput is enhanced in lossy environment due to user mobility without the unnecessary resource overhead.
