Performance analysis of IEEE 802.11 cognitive radio ad hoc networks

IEEE 802.11 standard is the dominant technology for wireless local area networks (WLANs). In the last two decades, the Distributed coordination function (DCF) of IEEE 802.11 standard has become the one of the most important media access control (MAC) protocols for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The DCF protocol can also be combined with cognitive radio, thus the IEEE 802.11 cognitive radio ad hoc networks (CRAHNs) come into being. There were several literatures which focus on the modeling of IEEE 802.11 CRAHNs, however, there is still no thorough and scalable analytical models for IEEE 802.11 CRAHNs whose cognitive node (i.e., secondary user, SU) has spectrum sensing and possible channel silence process before the MAC contention process. This paper develops a unified analytical model for IEEE 802.11 CRAHNs for comprehensive MAC layer queuing analysis. In the proposed model, the SUs are modeled by a hyper generalized 2D Markov chain model with an M/G/1/K model while the primary users (PUs) are modeled by a generalized 2D Markov chain and an M/G/1/K model. The performance evaluation results show that the quality-of-service (QoS) of both the PUs and SUs can be statistically guaranteed with the suitable settings of duration of channel sensing and silence phase in the case of under loading.

Análise de desempenho sobre redes IEEE 802.3/PM-AH: protoclo multicilos para automação hospitalar

Com a incorporação de conceitos da automação em ambientes hospitalares surge uma série de novos requisitos pertinentes a área médica. Dentre esses requisitos, um que merece destaque é a necessidade do estabelecimento de uma rede de comunicação segura e eficiente entre os elementos do ambiente hospitalar, visto que, os mesmos encontram-se de maneira distribuída. Nesse sentido, existe uma série de protocolos que podem ser utilizados no estabelecimento dessa rede, dentre os quais, um que merece destaque é o PM-AH (Protocolo Multiciclos para Automação Hospitalar) justamente por ser voltado a automatização de ambientes hospitalares tanto no que diz respeito ao cumprimento dos requisitos impostos nesse tipo de ambiente, como pelo fato de ser projetado para funcionar sobre a tecnologia Ethernet, padrão esse que é comumente utilizado pela rede de dados dos hospitais. Em decorrência disso, o presente trabalho aborda uma análise de desempenho comparativa entre redes PM-AH e puramente Ethernet visando atestar a eficiência do primeiro no que diz respeito ao cumprimento dos requisitos impostos pela automação hospitalar

Mistranslations of Film Titles: Between Fidelity and Advertising

In the paper, the authors present and analyse examples of mistranslated film titles into the Polish language, selected from a database of over 1,100 titles and presented on the sample of the film genre comedy with all its subgenres. The authors discuss various film title translation strategies and procedures with reference to the literature on the subject. In the conclusions, the authors attempt to explain the reasons for the selection of certain translation procedures, with special focus on the free formulation of titles as the least transparent.

Real-time PMU monitoring of an IEEE 5-Bus Network implemented on OPAL system

This thesis studies the state-of-the-art of phasor measurement units (PMUs) as well as their metrological requirements stated in the IEEE C37.118.1 and C37.118.2 Standards for guaranteeing correct measurement performances. Communication systems among PMUs and their possible applicability in the field of power quality (PQ) assessment are also investigated. This preliminary study is followed by an analysis of the working principle of real-time (RT) simulators and the importance of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) implementation, examining the possible case studies specific for PMUs, including compliance tests which are one of the most important parts. The core of the thesis is focused on the implementation of a PMU model in the IEEE 5-bus network in Simulink and in the validation of the results using OPAL RT-4510 as a real-time simulator. An initial check allows one to get an idea about the goodness of the results in Simulink, comparing the PMU data with respect to the load-flow steady-state information. In this part, accuracy indices are also calculated for both voltage and current synchrophasors. The following part consists in the implementation of the same code in OPAL-RT 4510 simulator, after which an initial analysis is carried out in a qualitative way in order to get a sense of the goodness of the outcomes. Finally, the confirmation of the results is based on an examination of the attained voltage and current synchrophasors and accuracy indices coming from Simulink models and from OPAL system, using a Matlab script. This work also proposes suggestions for an upcoming operation of PMUs in a more complex system as the Digital Twin (DT) in order to improve the performances of the already-existing protection devices of the distribution system operator (DSO) for a future enhancement of power systems reliability.

Impact of retransmissions in IEEE 802.11bd

The main goal of this thesis is to study the impact of retransmissions in the upcoming IEEE 802.11bd standard and to determine an algorithm which can, on a vehicle to vehicle basis, activate them or not depending on the channel state, using the channel busy rate (CBR) as the leading metric. The study was based on simulations performed with the WiLabV2Xsim, which is an open source discrete event simulator that can be used to simulate communication between vehicles under the rules of different protocols.

Compliance verification of virtual Phasor Measuring Unit using Ip-DFT algorithm according to the IEEE-60255-118-1(2018).

With the increase in load demand for various sectors, protection and safety of the network are key factors that have to be taken into consideration over the electric grid and distribution network. A phasor Measuring unit is an Intelligent electronics device that collects the data in the form of a real-time synchrophasor with a precise time tag using GPS (Global positioning system) and transfers the data to the grid command to monitor and assess the data. The measurements made by PMU have to be very precise to protect the relays and measuring equipment according to the IEEE 60255-118-1(2018). As a device PMU is very expensive to research and develop new functionalities there is a need to find an alternative to working with. Hence many open source virtual libraries are available to replicate the exact function of PMU in the virtual environment(Software) to continue the research on multiple objectives, providing the very least error results when verified. In this thesis, I executed performance and compliance verification of the virtual PMU which was developed using the I-DFT (Interpolated Discrete Fourier transforms) C-class algorithm in MATLAB. In this thesis, a test environment has been developed in MATLAB and tested the virtually developed PMU on both steady state and dynamic state for verifying the latest standard compliance(IEEE-60255-118-1).
