This paper presents a novel and efficient data transmission scheme based on mobile edge computing for the massive IoT environments which should support various type of services and devices. Based on an accurate and precise synchronization process, it maximizes data transmission throughput, and consistently maintains a flow's latency. To this end, the proposed efficient software defined data transmission scheme (ESD-DTS) configures and utilizes synchronization zones in accordance with the 4 usage cases, which are end node-to-end node (EN-EN), end node-to-cloud network (EN-CN), end node-to-Internet node (EN-IN), and edge node-to-core node (EdN-CN); and it transmit the data by the required service attributes, which are divided into 3 groups (low-end group, medium-end group, and high-end group). In addition, the ESD-DTS provides a specific data transmission method, which is operated by a buffer threshold value, for the low-end group, and it effectively accommodates massive IT devices. By doing this, the proposed scheme not only supports a high, medium, and low quality of service, but also is complied with various 5G usage scenarios. The essential difference between the previous and the proposed scheme is that the existing schemes are used to handle each packet only to provide high quality and bandwidth, whereas the proposed scheme introduces synchronization zones for various type of services to manage the efficiency of each service flow. Performance evaluations show that the proposed scheme outperforms the previous schemes in terms of throughput, control message overhead, and latency. Therefore, the proposed ESD-DTS is very suitable for upcoming 5G networks in a variety of massive IoT environments with supporting mobile edge computing (MEC).

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.

Opportunistic routing is designed for an environment where there is no stable end-to-end routing path between source node and destination node, and messages are forwarded via intermittent contacts between nodes and routed using a store-carry-forward mechanism. In this paper, we consider PRoPHET(Probabilistic Routing Protocol using History of Encounters and Transitivity) protocol as a base opportunistic routing protocol and propose an efficient context-aware opportunistic routing protocol by using the context information of delivery predictability and node type, e.g., pedestrian, car, and tram. In the proposed protocol, the node types of sending node and receiving node are checked. Then, if either sending node or receiving node is tram, messages are forwarded by comparing the delivery predictability of receiving node with predefined delivery predictability thresholds depending on the combination of sending node and receiving node types. Otherwise, messages are forwarded if the delivery predictability of receiving node is higher than that of sending node, as defined in PRoPHET protocol. Finally, we analyze the performance of the proposed protocol from the aspect of delivery ratio, overhead ratio, and delivery latency. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol has better delivery ratio, overhead ratio, and delivery latency than PRoPHET protocol in most of the considered simulation environments.

The bolted end-plate beam-column connections have been widely used in steel structure and composite structure because of its excellent seismic performance. In this paper, the end-plate bolted connection is applied in the concrete structure, A new-type of fabricated beam-column connections with end-plates is presented, and steel plate hoop is used to replace stirrups in the node core area. To study the seismic behavior of the joint, seven specimens are tested by pseudo-static test. The experimental results show that the new type of assembly node has good ductility and energy dissipation capacity. Besides, under the restraint effect of the high-strength stirrup, the width of the web crack is effectively controlled. In addition, based on the analysis of the factors affecting the shear capacity of the node core area, the formula of shear capacity of the core area of the node is proposed, and the theoretical values of the formula are consistent with the experimental value.

다중 유니캐스트 전송기법보다 멀티캐스트 전송기법이 장점이 많은 것이 사실이지만 IP 멀티캐스트 프로토콜은 간편한 관리제어 목적으로 몇몇 네트워크 영역으로 국한된다. 영역간 멀티캐스트 배치는 기술적인 면과 관리적인 면으로 인하여 진척이 느려지고 있다. 이에 대안으로 최근에 오버레이 멀티캐스팅 기술이 제시되었고, 본 논문에서 우리는 종단 호스트 멀티캐스트 트리 프로토콜 (EMTP)를 제안한다. EMTP는 리프 노드에 도달할 때까지 한번에 트리의 두 레벨을 검색하면서 또 한편으로는 가입하고자 하는 노드와 트리상의 가장 가까운 노드를 찾아낸다. 비록 해당 위치의 노드가 허용 가능한 차수가 없을지라도 그 노드를 잠재적인 부모노드로 선택 가능하게 함으로써 차후에 스위칭 횟수를 줄여 트리의 안정성을 높이고 데이터 전송 시간의 감소를 가져온다.

We consider a specific interference-limited wireless relay system that comprises several cooperation units (CUs) which are defined as a source and destination node pair with an associated relay node. In the wireless relay system, all source nodes simultaneously transmit their own signals and the relay node in each CU then forwards the received signal to the destination node, causing co-channel interference at both the relay node and the destination node in each CU. The co-channel interference at the relay node is closely related to that at the destination node in each CU. We first derive the end-to-end outage probability in a CU over Rayleigh slow-fading channels with interference for the decode-and-forward (DF) relaying strategy. Then, on the assumption that each CU is allocated with equal power we design an optimal power allocation between the source node and the relay node in each CU to minimize the outage probability of the investigated CU. At last, in the case that each CU is not allocated with equal power and the sum of their power is constrained, we present an optimal power allocation between CUs to minimize the sum of the outage probability of all CUs. The analytical results are verified by simulations.

The domestic and foreign scholars conducted many studies on mechanical properties of wave web steel beam and high-strength spiral stirrups confined concrete columns. Based on the previous research work, studies were conducted on the anti-seismic property of the end plate bolt connected wave web steel beam and high-strength spiral stirrups confined concrete column nodes applied with pre-tightening force. Four full-size node test models in two groups were designed for low-cycle repeated loading quasi-static test. Through observation of the stress, distortion, failure process and failure mode of node models, analysis was made on its load-carrying capacity, deformation performance and energy dissipation capacity, and the reliability of the new node was verified. The results showed that: under action of the beam-end stiffener, the plastic hinges on the end of wave web steel beam are displaced outward and played its role of energy dissipation capacity. The study results provided reliable theoretical basis for the engineering application of the new types of nodes.

ATM/AAL2는 패킷의 길이가 작은 지연 민감성 응용 서비스의 효율적인 전송을 위하여 표준화된 전송 방식으로 UMTS망의 Node-B와 RNC사이의 $I_{ub}$ 인터페이스에서 음성 및 데이터 트래픽을 전송하기 위하여 사용되고 있다. AAL2의 성능을 분석하기 위하여 단대단으로 UMTS 망의 성능을 분석할 수 있는 시뮬레이터를 개발하였으며 UTRAN에서 음성 및 데이터 서비스에 따른 시뮬레이션을 실행하였다. 결과로 $I_{ub}$ 인터페이스에서 AAL2 다중화의 이득은 Node-B에서 최대 17%정도 높으며 데이터 트래픽의 경우 음성 트래픽에 비하여 대역이득이 적다는 것을 발견하였다. 또한 집선기에서 대역이득은 트래픽의 양이 증가할수록 감소하는 결과를 볼 수 있었다.

이동 네트워크 환경에서 MN(Mobile Node)의 핸드오버 후 새로운 경로 상에 자원을 예약할 때 시그널링 지연을 최소화하기 위해서는 이전 경로와 새로운 경로가 만나는 지점에 있는 노드인 크로스오버 노드(Crossover Node:CRN)를 발견하는 것이 중요하다. 일반적으로 크로스오버 노드의 발견은 MN과 CN(Correspondent Node)간 설립된 종단간 SID(Session ID)를 주요키로 사용하여 이루어지지만, HMIPv6(Hierarchical Mobile IPv6) 네트워크에서 MAP(Mobility Anchor Point)과 HA(Home Agent)간 군집(Aggregate) 세션 단위로 자원예약을 하는 경우에는 이와 같은 일반적인 방법의 적용이 어렵다. 군집 예약을 할 때에는 종단간 SID와는 별도로 군집 SID를 사용하는데, MN의 핸드오버 후 이전 MAP과 HA간 설립된 세션의 군집 SID가 새로운 MAP과 HA간 설립된 세션의 군집 SID와 달라서 SID를 이용하여 크로스오버 노드를 발견할 수 없기 때문이다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 HMIPv6 네트워크에서 차세대 네트워크 시그널링 프로토콜인 NSIS(Next Step in Signaling)를 이용하여 자원을 예약하는 경우 군집 예약이 이루어진 MAP과 HA간 터널상에서 크로스오버 노드를 발견하고, 크로스오버 노드를 발견한 즉시, 군집 예약된 자원의 갱신이 지역적으로 이루어지도록 하는 방안을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해, 시그널링 메시지가 항상 터널의 끝 노드까지 전달되는 기존 방안에 비해 제안하는 방안이 자원 예약을 위한 시그널링 지연을 단축시키고, 핸드오버 동안의 평균 처리율을 향상시킴을 알 수 있었다.
