Background
 Java Programming have been increasingly used and studied in
some university around the world lately.

 The way of learning Java programming language in my University is

still ineffective and inefficient.

 The way of learning Java Programming language in my University

only makes student understand in the first few moment.

 During my internship, I studied about JPLAS

(Java Programming Learning Assistant
System).

By JPLAS
• Explain about the
lecture
• Give some JPLAS
Assignment (Fill-in

• Easier to understand for student
• More efficient
• Easier to check for teacher
• Student can study everywhere
and try as mush as they want
• Get the student’s
score
• Get to know how well
• Finish the Assignment the student
• Submitted the result understand about the
lesson

• Student only understand for a moment.

• Teacher get more distress to check
Way of learning Java Programming every student’s result
without JPLAS • Takes more time

• Copy paste the source • Get the student’s score

• Explain the source code from teacher in • Get to know how well the
code their own PC student understand about
• Give the source code • Analyze the source code the lesson
to Student if there’s an error • Give some homework
• Submitted the result (if necessary) 11

My Opinion and Conclusion
About Java Programming Learning Assistant System

 Learning Java Programming by JPLAS is more understanding for student.

 JPLAS is easier and more efficient to used for teacher generate a source code.

 JPLAS support students’ self-studies at various learning levels.

 JPLAS performs excellently in reducing the load of evaluating the codes and in
improving a student’s motivation with immediate responses to his/her answers .

 JPLAS helps me improve my knowledge and skill in Java Programming

Background

 IEEE 802.11 wireless local-area networks (WLANs) have

been deployed everywhere.

 IEEE 802.11 consist of two bands;

1) 2.4 GHz (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band).
2) 5 GHz (Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure
(U-NII) band).

 The 2.4 GHz is widely used

compared to 5 GHz due to long
distance transmission and
signal propagation through
obstacles. 17
Background

 There are various types of wireless local area networks.

 Many APs cause interference and lower the throughput

due to limited frequencies.

 Throughput also depends on the number of Hosts

connected to the AP and the distance/
received signal strength (RSS) from the
AP to connected host.

 During my internship, I studied on

TCP Fairness control method for
Video Web Server. 18

Types of Communication
 Single Communication
Only one host communicate
Host1
with the AP at a time
AP
Host2

 Concurrent Communication
Host1
Multiple hosts communicate
AP
Host2
simultaneously with AP

 Unfairness Problem in Concurrent Communication

With different distance of

AP
Host1 hosts, unfairness problem
happens
Host2

They are implemented the TCP Fairness Control Method[1]

Where the transmission delay is introduced by Linux command at
the communication with the faster host in order to provide the
slower host with more transmission opportunities

The delay is dynamically optimized by using the PI controller

Unfairness Problem in Concurrent Communication
Why unfairness in throughput occurs?

Near host occupies

more bandwidth
than far host
Near host
Server Far host
AP

Unfairness of the packet Caused by difference in the MCS and

transmitting interval TCP windows size between links
MCS = Modulation Coding Scheme

 Fairness Index

Jain’s Fairness Index[2]

Where
= total number of connections
= throughput for the connection

shared computer system,” East. Res. Lab. (DEC), vol. 38., 1984.
