Most of this device is developed using DBR mirror in order to achieve high reflectivity. However, the usage of this mirror will increase the cost and complexity of MEMS FP OTF fabrication. Some application requires minimal bandwidth where it needs only 95% mirror reflectivity. This can be achieved using metallic mirror. The usage of metallic mirror reduces the complexity of MEMS FP OTF fabrication process. Therefore, FEM simulation model for MEMS FP OTF using Al metallic mirror is developed using CoventorWare 2006 software in order to investigate the performance in terms of optical Intensity and output spectrum within 1200nm to 1600nm wavelength range. Thickness of Al thin film is varied from 100nm to 1000nm to investigate the absorbance, A for a slice of metallic thin film mirror without substrate. MEMS FP OTF using LAI;=200nm and LAI;=500nm Al thin film are developed and simulated using Coventor Ware2006 software. Results are analyzed in terms of transmittivity, Free spectral Range (FSR) and Bandwidth (FWHM).","PeriodicalId":363625,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th IFIP International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications Networks (WOCN '08)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129269488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The device uses the concepts of combination of optical add/drop multiplexing and optical cross connect between two main transmission lines in order to implement the wavelength routing operation [10]. MEMS optical switches are integrated in the device to make it re-configurable. With excellent features, the device is particularly designed to improve network efficiency, flexibility and survivability [7][8]. The device can be used in point to point, ring or mesh network topology to provide functionality such as routing, supervision, transport, multiplexing and restoration of client digital signals processed predominantly in the optical domain [7]. The wavelengths on each optical trunk can be switched between each other while implementing add and drop functions simultaneously. The multiplexer has undergone performance test at 2.5 Gbps (OC- 48) with BER less than 10-9. The maximum length can be achieved by OXADMs is 71 km without amplification at insertion loss 6 dB. A comparison between OXADM with the previous devices such as, OXC, TRN and OXN is also been studied.","PeriodicalId":363625,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th IFIP International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications Networks (WOCN '08)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114328308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result inefficiency of spectrum usage is unavoidable, drop calls, and or outage probability of the interference victim (IS-95 Mobile Station) may reach an intolerable level. Therefore, a minimum guard band and or a Minimum Separation Distance are required to reduce the interference impact. Considering the SIR and receiver sensitivity as the reference level, a simulation is developed in this research to find the outage probability assuming that mobile stations are uniformly distributed in the cell with an downlink macro cell propagation model. The results showed, in an environment with a lognormal shadowing deviation standard of 10 dB and 10 MHz guard band, the victim need to be separated 20 m from the WCDMA mobile station in order to obtain outage probability less than 1% if no additional filter is installed.","PeriodicalId":363625,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th IFIP International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications Networks (WOCN '08)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127998792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research is focused on layer 3 handover issue based on IEEE 802.16e wireless network. We propose an architecture which uses the method of Pre-Binding Update in order to accelerate FMIPv6 operation, and also combines with 802.21 media independent handover services to avoid incorrect layer 3 handover prediction and reduce the transmission of signal.

Low delay and also to reduce burst overlap in the electronic domain of an ingress node and hence to reduce burst loss improves quality of service (QoS). A mathematical model for delay versus traffic loads considering both low and large traffic conditions is developed. In a metropolitan ring network the minimum delay zone is shown considering the variation of channel capacityC, burst size B, and token round trip time R. In a general OBS node it is required to delay some of the transmission of bursts in the ingress node with an electronic buffer. It is shown that in a burst overlapping condition, at lower traffic loads, data produces more delays and increases with the increase of delayed burst time, but at higher loads, the delays are almost same for all values of delayed burst time.","PeriodicalId":363625,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th IFIP International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications Networks (WOCN '08)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131543344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the important steps in pervasive computing is context-awareness. Context-aware pervasive systems rely on information about the context and user preferences to adapt their behavior. However, context-aware applications do not always behave as user's desire, and can cause users to feel dissatisfied with unexpected actions. To solve these problems, context-aware systems must provide mechanisms to adapt automatically when the context changes significantly. The interesting characteristic of context is its own behaviors which depend on various aspects of the surrounding contexts. This paper uses contextual graphs to solve the problem \"the mutual relationships among the contexts\". We describe the most relevant work in this area, as well as ongoing research on developing context-aware system for ubiquitous computing based on contextual graph. The usage of contextual graph in context- awareness is expected to make it effective for developers to develop various applications with the need of context reasoning.","PeriodicalId":363625,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th IFIP International Conference on Wireless and Optical Communications Networks (WOCN '08)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116495296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The base-stations coordinate their transmission to the two cell-edge users in order to improve their Signal-to-interference-noise ratio (SINR) and throughput. Selective Cooperation, where the selection criteria is based on throughput, is proposed. The capacity achieved through Cooperation is shared equally among the cell-edge users.
