Measurement was done by using a scale model in microwave frequency with lattice period P=26.5 mm, diameter of pillar .=7.5mm and its dielectric constant ƒÃr=36.0 around 4 GHz. First, symmetric Y-branch waveguide was set up by using line-defect in array of pillars. After confirming symmetric branching operation in frequency range between 3.6 and 4.2 GHz, a pair of pillars which have length of 3.0P and 2.5P respectively, were situated in each output waveguide as cavities. These cavities showed resonant characteristics at frequencies corresponding to ƒÉg/2 in the waveguide. Also, good extinction ratios of over 20 dB between output ports were observed at these resonant frequencies. Next, cascading the Y-branch by two stages and situating four cavities with different lengths at each output port, filtering characteristics were observed at each output in frequency range of 3.6 to 4.2 GHz. The extinction ratios at each resonance frequency were over 17 dB. Though the structure showed good filtering characteristics, unnecessary resonances in frequency domain were observed near main peaks of filtered frequency. To suppress these unwanted peaks, stabs with length of ƒÉg/4 were inserted after the cavities, where ƒÉg is wavelength of the unnecessary frequency. Due to the stabs, peaks of the unnecessary resonances were suppressed over 20 dB compared with simple cavities. This structure is applicable as a basic filter component in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems in photonic crystal optical circuits.","PeriodicalId":391671,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications","volume":"179 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123026241","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 main contribution of this work is a novel approach to enhancing position security in VANETs. We propose a general active detection architecture including two components: eye-devices and ear-devices. Eye-devices include radar, infrared, camera, etc. Ear-device is the wireless transceiver. We achieve local security by enlisting the help of several on-board eye-devices to detect neighboring vehicles and to confirm their announced position coordinates heard by ear-device. We apply cosine similarity to these data to reach an agreed-location. Our solution is predicated on the widely accepted assumption that the vast majorities of vehicles are honest and behave responsively.","PeriodicalId":391671,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122785798","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}

In this communication we consider the problem of the design of an airborne system whose function is to solve the problem of allocation of transportation aircraft actuators during manoeuvres. The case of a roll manoeuvre, which may be quite demanding for the wings structure, is more particularly considered. The aim of this supervision function, similar to the load alleviation function, is to control the bending and flexion moments of the wings while performing a manoeuvre which can turn to be extreme. The wings actuators considered are the ailerons, the spoilers and the flaps, but the other aerodynamic actuators, elevators and rudders, must be considered to take into account the existing coupling effects between the three body axis. The proposed approach may be applied specially in the case in which some of the actuators are failed (stuck to a particular deflection or flapping in the wind stream) while theirs limitations, such as position, speed and response time, are considered explicitly in this study.","PeriodicalId":391671,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131523031","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 P2P communication has been applied to diverse systems such as the VoIP and the file sharing system for the P2P potential ability. The distributed file sharing system over the P2P network can especially provide the quick search, while the file accesses from the remote user do not follow the uniform distribution causing the degradation of searching performance. In this paper, we propose the new framework to implement the access method of shared objects into the real environment using the MPI (Message Passing Interface). In addition, we implemented the conventional Lock/Unlock method using MPI to compare the proposed owner permission method to access shared objects. The proposed shared object management system implemented on the MPI middleware can improve the processing speed compared to the Lock/Unlock method.","PeriodicalId":391671,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122940402","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 sensor networks cover various application fields such as safety management, health management, grasping of nature environment, military and so on. The sensor networks will be used as a technique for constructing ubiquitous society because of low cost and easy construction. However, since the nodes are small, the consumption power is limited. Also, they have problems with transmission power and speed. To solve these problems, various protocols are proposed. In this paper, we propose a MAC protocol for power reduction based on load estimation called R-MAC. The R-MAC estimates the network load and its behavior is adapted based on the network load. Therefore, it is possible to improve the power consumption and transmission delay. We evaluated the performance of R-MAC protocol by computer simulation and verified that R-MAC has better performance than S-MAC protocol.","PeriodicalId":391671,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126867940","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}

Numerous techniques have been developed. Location fingerprinting, which is based on received signal strength measurements, is a frequently used approach for indoor applications. In this paper, we examine the possibility to obtain the location fingerprinting method characterized with more accurate mapping between the signal-space and the physical-space. An implemented well-known weighted k-nearest neighbor (WkNN) method is enhanced by two steps: a) pre-processing by the unsupervised learning technique during radio map building and b) post-processing of initial estimates obtained by the WkNN localization method. In this post-processing step signal-space and physical-space are transformed and mapped using two techniques of the dimension reduction: principal component analysis and multidimensional scaling. The aim of this transformation step is to de-correlate and refine initially obtained location estimates. Parameters such as number of access points and number of nearest reference nodes are examined for their impact on accuracy of the presented localization techniques. Performances are examined and verified through the experiments with real environment data.","PeriodicalId":391671,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125986332","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}
