Automatic fault detection, isolation, and recovery in transparentall-optical networks

Network fault identification is an important network management function, which is closely related to fault management and has an impact on other network management functions such as configuration management, and performance management. This paper investigates fault surveillance and fault identification mechanisms for a transparent optical network in which data travels optically from the source node to the destination node without going through any optical-to-electrical (O/E) or electrical-to-optical (E/O) conversion. Mechanisms and algorithms are proposed to detect and isolate faults such as fiber cuts, laser, receiver, or router failures. These mechanisms allow nonintrusive device monitoring without requiring any prior knowledge of the actual protocols being used in the data transmission     

Modulation and Equalisation Considerations for High Performance Radio LANs

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has recently defined a European standard for a high performance radio LAN (known as HIPERLAN). To operate as wired LAN replacements, these systems will operate at 5.2 GHz and support instantaneous bit rates of just under 24 Mb/s. To counteract the time dispersive nature of the indoor radio channel, the use of adaptive equalisation is suggested. In this paper a number of possible modulation and equalisation techniques are presented and, in particular, the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of quasi-coherent GMSK combined with Decision Feedback Equalisation is explored through computer simulation. The trade off between symbol spaced and fractionally spaced equalisation is considered together with the importance of feedfoward and feedback synchronisation to the channel's power delay profile. The paper also includes a comparison of the RLS and LMS based training algorithms and compares the modem developed under the ESPRIT III LAURA project with that specified in HIPERLAN.The application of dual antenna diversity is investigated and its impact on the number of received error free data packets obtained as a function of signal leval and rms delay spread. The use of such diversity is shown to greatly improve the BER performance of a HIPERLAN modem. The problem of frequency offset is considered and modifications are proposed to the HIPERLAN frame structure to improve the receiver's tolerance to such errors. Important practical issues such as frame and symbol synchronisation, frequency offset correction and hardware implementation are discussed from both the LAURA and HIPERLAN viewpoint.     

Economic cost modeling of environmental-stress-screening andburn-in

The electronics industry is highly competitive. The introduction of new advanced integrated circuits continues. The manufacturer must develop a product with adequate life cycle, high quality and low failure rate in the specified time period. Environmental stress screening (ESS) is widely used in the electronics industry to assist in eliminating early or patent failures. The bathtub curve is a common model for the failure rate of a population. The classic bathtub curve has three parts: infant mortality; useful life; and wearout. However, some electronic products have latent defects which are not detected by conventional inspection or functional testing, and occur during the product useful life. Most electronic systems have finite useful life. As a result, technology obsolescence is of concern and should be considered, This paper uses a new interpretation and development of the bathtub curve that integrates: (1) latent failures; and (2) the concept of obsolescence, by constructing an integrated cost model used to determine both optimal burn-in and ESS times in the same environment     

R-Calculus for ELP:An Operational Approach to Knowledge Base Maintenance

Sme concepts used in knowledge base maintenace,such as sequence,new law,user‘s rejection and reconstructions of a knowledge base,are first introduced,and then a framework for extended logic programming(ELP)is given,where an extended logic program is equivalent to a knowledge base.A transition system called R-calculus for ELP is provided.For a given knowledge base and a user‘s rejection,the R-calculus for ELP will deduce best revisions of the base.The soundness and the completeness of the R-calculus for ELP are proved,and the R-calculus for ELP is implemented in Prolog.In addition,the research is compared with other relevant work.
