The new complexity arising from the genome sequencing projects requires new comprehensive post-genomic strategies: advanced studies in regulatory mechanisms, application of new high-throughput technologies at a genome-wide scale, at the different levels of cellular complexity (genome, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome), efficient analysis of the results, and application of new bioinformatic methods in an integrative or systems biology perspective. This can be accomplished in studies with model organisms under controlled conditions. In this review a perspective of the favourable characteristics of yeast as a touchstone model in post-genomic research is presented. The state-of-the art, latest advances in the field and bottlenecks, new strategies, new regulatory mechanisms, applications (patents) and high-throughput technologies, most of them being developed and validated in yeast, are presented. The optimal characteristics of yeast as a well-defined system for comprehensive studies under controlled conditions makes it a perfect model to be used in integrative, 'systems biology' studies to get new insights into the mechanisms of regulation (regulatory networks) responsible of specific phenotypes under particular environmental conditions, to be applied to more complex organisms (e.g. plants, human).

If the PNC is shutting down or wants to leave the WPAN, it uses the handover process to give control to another device in the piconet. However when the PNC is selected, only the device capability information is checked in the WPAN standard specification and no detail criteria is described. In this paper, the PNC selection method with considering the number and density of device to maximize the piconet data throughput in the WPAN is studied. From the numerical analysis results, the considering with the devices concentration has higher data throughput compared with the uniform distribution. For the efficient performance, the device distribution within the piconet should be considered in the PNC selection.

In this paper, we propose a novel scheduling algorithm for downlink transmission which utilizes scarce wireless resource efficiently in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access/Time Division Duplex system. Scheduling schemes which exploit channel information between a Base Station and terminals have been proposed recently for improved performance. Time series analysis is used to estimate the channel state of mobile terminals. The predicted information is then used for prioritized scheduling of downlink transmissions for improved throughput, delay and jitter performance. Through simulation, we show that the total throughput and mean delay of the proposed scheduling algorithm are improved compared with those of the Proportional Fairness and Maximum Carrier to Interference Ratio schemes.

In this paper, we evaluate a performance on a resource allocation algorithm for prioritized data services in CDMA networks supporting real-time and non-real-time data services. The weighted aggregate data throughput is used to characterize the performance of the prioritized data service. Our prioritized data service is implemented so that the weighted aggregate data throughput is maximized via efficient power and spreading gain allocation. Numerical experiments are performed to evaluate a suboptimal resource allocation algorithm for typical parameters.

Soft-decision detectors are used in many FEC and ARQ schemes to enhance the bit-error-probability and system throughput. Also, the hybrid-ARQ protocol is a very efficient schemeto achieve overall performance improvement. In this paper, we propose a new hybrid-ARQ protocol based on the first-order Reed-Muller codes employing soft-decision detectors. The Reed-Muller codes have the virtue of being able to use the fast Green machine decoder that is simple to implement. As the performance measures, the bit-error-probability and system throughput are evaluted for the proposed hybrid-ARQ procol, and compared with those of other hybrid-ARQ schemes. It is shown that the use of the proposed hybrid-ARQ protocol results in significant performance improvement without causing much loss in view of system complexity.

With the on-going wireless access technologies, the Internet has become accessible anytime anywhere. In wireless networks, link errors significantly degrade the performance of the transmission control protocol (TCP). To cope with this issue, this paper improves the recently-proposed terrestrial REFWA (T-REFWA) scheme by adding a new error recovery mechanism to its original design. In the T-REFWA scheme, senders are acknowledged with appropriate sending rates at which an efficient and fair utilization of network resources can be achieved. As the feedback values are computed independently of link errors, senders can keep transmitting data at high rates even in case of link error occurrences. Using this feature, the proposed error recovery mechanism can achieve high throughput in environments with high bit error rates. The throughput is further improved by disabling the exponential back-off algorithm of TCP so that long idle times are avoided in case of link errors. We show through simulations that the proposed method improves TCP performance in high bit error rates. Compared with several TCP variants, the proposed error recovery scheme exhibits higher link utilization and guarantees system fairness for different bit error rates.

The Asynchronous Transfer Mode(ATM) networks are being adopted as backbones over various parts of Internet. Also, TCP is one of the most widespread transport protocols, nowadays. It can be used with ATM. But, TCP shows poor end-to-end performance on ATM networks. Effective throughput of TCP over ATM can be quite low when cells are dropped at the congested ATM switch. The low throughput is due to wasted bandwidth as congested link transmits cells from corrupted packets. This paper examines the behavior of TCP over ATM-UBR using EPD switch in a broadband environment. With a threshold close to the buffer size, the buffer can be used more efficiently, but more drops and retransmission occurs. If the threshold is much less than buffer size, efficient is not good, but few drops can happen. Therefore, decision of the threshold is important.

In this paper, a study on finding an appropriate helper node that can help increase effective frame transmission rate for cooperative communications at ad hoc networks is carried out. Those researches from reference use the reactive helper node selection mechanism which starts its role after exchanging RTS and CTS frames between source and destination nodes, and are implemented into our simulator for performance comparison. System throughput and average channel access delay are used for performance measures and all communicating nodes are assumed to move independently within the communication range. It is anticipated that this research result can be used as basic information for designing a new efficient helper node selection scheme.

In this paper, we discuss and propose an efficiently parallelized block cipher algorithm on the CELL BE processor. With considering the heterogeneous feature of the CELL BE architecture, we apply different encoding/decoding methods to PPE and SPE and improve the throughput. Our implementation was fully tested, with execution results showing achievement of high throughput, capable of supporting as high network speed as 2.59 Gbps. Compared to various parallel implementations on multi-core systems, our approach provides speedup of 1.34 in terms of encoding/decoding speed.

As the number of a smart phone user over the world surprisingly grows and a wireless Internet market expands, service requirement of a mobile terminal is increasing. However, because there is no consideration of mobility in the early standard step, it is difficult to expect to improve the service performance in handover procedure. This paper proposes a PFMIPv6 handover scheme by using probe request message and authentication message and by using buffering scheme in IEEE 802.11. In addition, we simulated this proposal scheme and verified that the proposed handover scheme is improved in terms of handover delay, and average FTP throughput during the handover period.
