Experimental investigation has been carried out to study the effect og gamma ray radiations on silicon solar cells. The measured experimental data are compared with the theoretical results obtained by computer simulation programs before and after radiation. P-N junction silicon cell samples were used for the study showing degradation behavior for the output power and the short circuit current with less effect on the open circuit voltage as the radiation doses increases. Enhanced series resistance was added to the solar cell model due to deformation of I –V characteristics resulting from gamma ray radiations. Wide spread spectrum of doses were employed to study the effect of the radiation on the crystal deformation and damages on different parameters of solar cells. Study reveals an improvement in the output power and short circuit current due to post annealing effect of gamma ray radiations. The conclusion consist of suggestions to protect the solar cells in space satellites.

Abstract Ad-hoc networking is a concept in computer communications, which means that users wanting to communicate with each other form a temporary network, without any form of centralized administration. Each node participating in the network acts both as host and a router and must therefore be willing to forward packets for other nodes.In a multi-hop wireless packet network, a packet traverses more than one wireless link in traveling from its source to its destination. Such wireless networks have received considerable attention recently in the context of ad hoc networks. Ad-Hoc networks are self-organizing multi-hop wireless networks where not all links along the path of a packet can be activated simultaneously. Hence the performance of a higher level mechanism, such as congestion window or Transport Layer protocol (TCP) will depend crucially on how the links are scheduled for transmission. In multiple access networks, such as the IEEE802.11 wireless LAN, the scheduling of transmissions is done by the medium access control (MAC) protocol. This transmission scheduling is completely unaware of the needs of the TCP congestion window protocol. This thesis is concerned with the poor interaction between the TCP adaptive window protocol, the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol, and the IEEE 802.11 Ad-Hoc routing protocol. Our thesis follow on the work done by the researchers K. Nahm and C. Kuo in the paper entitled “TCP over 802.11 Multihop networks issues and Performance Enhancement” [1]. Our contributions are two-fold. First we have repeated and confirmed the simulation results reported by K.Nahm and C.Kuo using NS-2 network simulator. Second we have introduced a simple modification in the 802.11 DSR routing protocol which reduces the unnecessary VI reroutings triggered by MAC packet collisions and enforces the TCP to enter the fast retransmit / fast recovery phase to quickly recover the packet loses. This modification has been simulated using NS-2 network simulator and from the results we have found that it provides a substantial improvement in TCP performance in the situations that we have considered in the simulation models

The introduction of new services with different bandwidth requirements, e.g., data and multimedia, to cellular mobile radio networks makes many of the traditional mechanisms unusable or less efficient. The call admission control and the handover handling are the most sensitive issues to this extension. The performance of all services including the traditional voice and the new services can be dramatically effected if no appropriate schemes are used. In this research work, a new call admission and handover handling schemes for a cellular mobile network that offers two service types: voice and data is proposed. The data connections are assumed to be transmitted at different data rates, which are an integer multiple to that of one traffic channels, which are full speed(Cd1) & reduced peed(Cd2). In order to reduce the handover failure probability of data connections, the data mobile terminals (MT) are assumed to have the capability of transmitting at two different data rates. If the handover request can not be satisfied by the base station of the destination cell due to unavailable free traffic channels, the data mobile terminals tries with a lower data rate. The handover fails if the network is incapable on providing the minimum data rate at which the mobile terminal can transmit. The reduced data connection or data rate can be speeded up to full data rate or full speed as soon as enough bandwidth is available. The effect of different traffic and configuration parameters on the performance of the different models for two cell model with equal input traffic intensity, two cell model with different input traffic intensity, and two cell model with equal input traffic intensity considering the congestion rate for the highway model are studied as the models of this research. These models are built using MOSEL language (Modeling Specification and Evaluation Language). The results of investigating the mentioned models showed the effect of the handover, and speed of data on these different models.
