Several gateway selection schemes have been proposed that select gateway nodes based on a single Quality of Service (QoS) path parameter, for instance path availability period, link capacity or end-to-end delay, etc. or on multiple non-QoS parameters, for instance the combination of gateway node speed, residual energy, and number of hops, for Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs). Each scheme just focuses on the ment of improve only a single network performance, i.e., network throughput, packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, or packet drop ratio. However, none of these schemes improves the overall network performance because they focus on a single QoS path parameter or on set of non-QoS parameters. To improve the overall network performance, it is necessary to select a gateway with stable path, a path with themaximum residual load capacity and the minimum latency. In this paper, we propose a gateway selection scheme that considers multiple QoS path parameters such as path availability period, available capacity and latency, to select a potential gateway node. We improve the path availability computation accuracy, we introduce a feedback system to updated path dynamics to the traffic source node and we propose an efficient method to propagate QoS parameters in our scheme. Computer simulations show that our gateway selection scheme improves throughput and packet delivery ratio with less per node energy consumption. It also improves the end-to-end delay compared to single QoS path parameter gateway selection schemes. In addition, we simulate the proposed scheme by considering weighting factors to gateway selection parameters and results show that the weighting factors improve the throughput and end-to-end delay compared to the conventional schemes.

This paper proposes a method of applying an advanced preamble detection technology to wireless sensor nodes and analyzes the trade-off relationship between throughput and fairness that may occur when sensor nodes equipped with the MIM function compete with the legacy IEEE 802.15.4 sensors. Sensor nodes employing the MIM capability have more chances of concurrent transmissions than the legacy IEEE 802.15.4-based sensor nodes, resulting in gains in terms of throughput, whereas the transmission opportunities of 802.15.4 sensor nodes might be limited due to the additional simultaneous transmissions of the MIM sensor nodes. The extensive evaluation results performed under a test environment built using Python program with reflecting the setting value of a commercial sensor node shows MIM sensor nodes outperform up to 40% over the legacy 802.11 sensors. Meanwhile, it was confirmed that a balance can be achieved in terms of throughput and fairness by properly adjusting the concurrent transmission threshold.

Since OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology is applied into LTE(Long Term Evolution)/LTE-Advanced system, it is important to estimate the spectrum sharing and to analyze interference in LTE system based on the characteristics of frequency assignment. Therefore, in this paper, a study on the adjacent channel interference between two operators/systems to provide LTE services. For co-existence of LTE systems, the relative capacity loss and the relative throughput loss in uplink and downlink have been simulated to evaluated ACIR(Adjacent Channel Interference Ratio) values with 5% loss rate. Some parameters such as the location of user, aggressor bandwidth, and the separation offset affect the required ACIR value for spectrum sharing, and these results and interference analysis schemes in this article can provide reliable reference for LTE RF standardization and efficient frequency utilization in future.

Currently the research on input-queued ATM switches is one of the most active research fields. Many achievements have been made in the research on scheduling algorithms for input-queued ATM switches and also applied in commerce. The scheduling algorithms have the characteristics of improving throughput, satisfying QoS requirements and providing service fairly. In this paper, we studied on an implementation of scheduler which arbirates the input-queued ATM switches efficiently and swiftly. The proposed scheduler approximately provides 100% throughput for scheduling. The proposed algorithm completes the arbitration for N-port VOQ switch with 4-iterative matching. Also the proposed algorithm has a merit for implementing the scheduling algorithm with 1/2 area compared to that of iSLIP scheduling algorithm which is widely used. The performance of the proposed scheduling algorithm is superior to that of iSLIP in 4-iterative matching. The proposed scheduling algorithm was implemented in FPGA and verified on board-level.

In proteomics, recent advancements In mass spectrometry technology and in protein extraction and separation technology made high-throughput analysis possible. This leads to thousands to hundreds of thousands of MS/MS spectra per single LC-MS/MS experiment. Such a large amount of data creates significant computational challenges and therefore effective data analysis methods that make efficient use of computational resources and, at the same time, provide more peptide identifications are in great need. Here, SIFTER system is designed to avoid inefficient processing of shotgun proteomic data. SIFTER provides software tools that can improve throughput of mass spectrometry-based peptide identification by filtering out poor-quality tandem mass spectra and estimating a Peptide charge state prior to applying analysis algorithms. SIFTER tools characterize and assess spectral features and thus significantly reduce the computation time and false positive rates by localizing spectra that lead to wrong identification prior to full-blown analysis. SIFTER enables fast and in-depth interpretation of tandem mass spectra.

Mobile communication systems have been adopting link adaptive transmission schemes such as adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) and hybrid-ARQ (HARQ). Incremental redundancy (IR) HARQ scheme is known to be highly efficient in terms of throughput and power consumption and can be a good solution for mobile communication systems. In this paper, we propose an IR-HARQ scheme based on dual-diagonal parity-type block LDPC codes in which we define a transmission priority of coded bits and propose the sub-packet construction rule. We present the throughput performance of IR-HARQ with various modulation and coding and multi-antenna modes. Consequently, the proposed scheme provides the improvement of system throughput by elaborate link adaptation with CQI information.

In recent years, high-throughput genome-wide RNA interference screening is emerging as an essential tool to biologists in understanding complex cellular processes. The manual analysis of the large number of images produced in each study spends much time and the labor. Hence, automatic cellular image analysis becomes an urgent need, where segmentation is the first and one of the most important steps. However, those factors such as the region overlapping, a variety of shapes, and non-uniform local characteristics of cellular images become obstacles to efficient cell segmentation. To avoid the problem, a new watershed-based cell segmentation algorithm using a localized segmentation method and a feature vector is proposed in this paper. Localized approach in segmentation resolves the problems caused by a variety of shapes and non-uniform characteristics. In addition, the poor performance of segmentation in overlapped regions can be improved by taking advantage of a feature vector whose component features complement each other. Simulation results show that the proposed method improves the segmentation performance compared to the method in Cellprofiler.

The need for broadband wireless data networks such as IEEE 802.16e WiMAX systems increases as a variety of wireless information devices like smart phones are adopted rapidly in everyday life. Since most of mobile applications employ TCP as their transport layer protocol, the performance improvement of TCP in WiMAX systems is crucial. This paper proposes an efficient method to transmit uplink piggyback ACK packets by exploiting the uplink packet buffering which happens because of the resource allocation scheme of the WiMAX systems. The proposed method can support not only the ACK filtering but also the merging of the piggyback ACK packets. As a result, the bandwidth reduction in the piggyback ACK packet transmission leads to the improvement of the downlink throughput. The simulation results show that the bandwidth for the ACK packets reduces more than 90%, and the downlink throughput increases at least 30%.

This paper considers the multi-objective optimization of a multi-service arrayed waveguide grating-based single-hop WDM network with the two conflicting objectives of maximizing throughput while minimizing delay. This paper presents a genetic algorithm based methodology for finding the optimal throughput-delay tradeoff curve, the so-called Pareto-optimal frontier. Genetic algorithm based methodology provides the network architecture parameters and the Medium Access Control protocol parameters that achieve the Pareto-optima in a computationally efficient manner. The numerical results obtained with this methodology provide the Pareto-optimal network planning and operation solution for a wide range of traffic scenarios. The presented methodology is applicable to other networks with a similar throughput-delay tradeoff.

Frequency selective fading is a limiting factor for transmission rate and performance in high-speed multimedia communications. In this paper, we propose a turbo coded adaptive quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) system for efficient high-speed transmission. By making use of a user-friendly simulation platform of SPW, the proposed turbo coded adaptive QAM system(TuAQAM) is developed and its performance is evaluated in terms of throughput and BER performance. Two channel models having delay spreads of 700ns and 1400ns are created for the simulations. It is shown that the proposed TuAQAM system provides a performance improvement of approximately 3dB and improved throughput for the channel model whose delay spread is 700ns. Similarly, a performance improvement is also achieved for the channel model whose delay spread is 1400ns.
