Energy spreading transform (EST) based modulation is an effective technique to combat frequency-selective fading in broadband wireless communication. It performs close to the inter-symbol interference (ISI)-free matched filter bound (MFB) only at the complexity of a linear detector. Originally, EST-based modulation has been proposed for QPSK. However, to fully utilize the capacity of multipath fading channels, higher-order modulations are also necessary. In this paper, we review the EST based modulation that has originally been proposed for QPSK and discuss its extension to 8 PSK and 16 QAM. The performance of the extended system is verified through simulation in Proakis B and 8-tap fading channel. The EST based modulation for 8 PSK shows the performance which is very close to MFB and the EST based modulation for 16 QAM shows the performance gap between its receiver and MFB.

Taking experts' knowledge to recommend items has shown some promising results in recommender system research. In order to improve the performance of the existing recommendation algorithms, previous researches on expert-based recommender systems have exploited the knowledge of a common expert group for all users. In this paper, we study a problem of identifying personalized experts within a user group, assuming each user needs different kinds and levels of expert help. To demonstrate this idea, we present a framework for using Support Vector Machine (SVM) to find varying expert groups for users; it is shown in an experiment that the proposed SVM approach can identify personalized experts, and that the person-alized expert-based collaborative filtering (CF) can yield better results than k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) algorithm.

To manage cell outage problem in indoor wireless communication systems, we should resolve the problem of abrupt network failure quickly. In this paper, we propose a near-optimal cell outage management (NoCOM) scheme to support seamless services to users. In consideration of system throughput, user fairness, and the guarantee of QoS simultaneously, the NoCOM scheme finds the solution of subchannel and power allocations using a non-convex optimization technique and allocates radio resources to users iteratively. Through intensive simulations, we verify the outstanding performances of the proposed NoCOM scheme with respect to the average cell capacity, user fairness, and computational complexity.

As the construction of trans infrastructure using the underground tunnel have been rapidly increased, various nearby excavation of existed underground facility including subway structure has been occurred in urban tunnelling. The concern and worry relating to the safety and stability of the existed facility by nearby excavation is becoming the key issues in urban tunnelling. In this study, it was conducted for existed the subway station structure at Seoul subway line which was closely located in the new Dongbuk urban metro railway to determine the behavior characteristics of station structure according to adjacent tunnel construction. Also, it was reviewed the evaluation of the safety zone and excavation method for subway structure. And after a review of damage evaluation, track irregularities and structural calculation by using a numerical analysis, stability of the subway structure according to nearby tunnel excavation was evaluated to be secured. This study is expected to be applied as useful reference in advance if you need to review the effects of existed structure according to nearby construction in complex urban tunnelling.

With the recent development of static and dynamic modulated brachytherapy methods in brachytherapy, which use radiation shielding to modulate the dose distribution to deliver the dose, the amount of parameters and data required for dose calculation in inverse treatment planning and treatment plan optimization algorithms suitable for new directional beam intensity modulated brachytherapy is increasing. Although intensity-modulated brachytherapy enables accurate dose delivery of radiation, the increased amount of parameters and data increases the elapsed time required for dose calculation. In this study, a GPU-based CUDA-accelerated dose calculation algorithm was constructed to reduce the increase in dose calculation elapsed time. The acceleration of the calculation process was achieved by parallelizing the calculation of the system matrix of the volume of interest and the dose calculation. The developed algorithms were all performed in the same computing environment with an Intel (3.7 GHz, 6-core) CPU and a single NVIDIA GTX 1080ti graphics card, and the dose calculation time was evaluated by measuring only the dose calculation time, excluding the additional time required for loading data from disk and preprocessing operations. The results showed that the accelerated algorithm reduced the dose calculation time by about 30 times compared to the CPU-only calculation. The accelerated dose calculation algorithm can be expected to speed up treatment planning when new treatment plans need to be created to account for daily variations in applicator movement, such as in adaptive radiotherapy, or when dose calculation needs to account for changing parameters, such as in dynamically modulated brachytherapy.

This paper implements and integrates algorithms for terrain following of UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles): trajectory generation, guidance, and navigation. Terrain following is very important for UCAVs because they perform very dangerous missions such as Suppression of Enemy Air Defences while the terrain following can improve the survivability of UCAVs against from the air defence systems of the enemy. To deal with the GPS jamming, terrain referenced navigation based on nonlinear filter is chosen. For the trajectory generation, Voronoi diagram is adopted to generate horizontal plane path to avoid the air defense system. Cubic spline method is used to generate vertical plane path to prevent collisions with ground while flying sufficiently close to surface. Follow-the-Carrot and pure pursuit tracking methods, which are look-ahead point based guidance algorithms, are applied for the guidance. Numerical simulation is performed to verify the performance of the integrated terrain following algorithm.

전기요금수준과 요금체계는 산업의 생산비와 가계의 소비생활패턴에 직접적인 영향을 미쳐, 생산활동 산업구조 소비형태에 변화를 초래한다. 또한 적정요금의 부과는 미래의 전력수요에 부응하는 전원개발의 비용확보와 이를 통한 전력수급 안정에 필수적인 사항이다. 전기요금체계가 경제적으로 효율적인 한계비용방식으로 장기적으로 전환되겠지만 이에는 상당한 시간이 필요하다고 예상되므로, 본 논문에서는 현재 한전이 택하고 있는 평균비용방식에 의거한 용도별 요금체계의 문제점을 지적하고 중단기적 개선방안을 제시한다. 현재 용도별 요금에서의 문제점을 지적하자면, 일반용요금은 평균비용에 비해 과다하게 높은 데 반해 농사용요금은 과다하게 낮다. 또한 일반용에서 계시별 구분을 적용받는 소비자가 너무 적으며 선택요금이 다양하지 못하다는 문제점이 있다. 주택용요금은 평균비용과 상당한 괴리가 있으며, 현재의 7단계분류는 보통 외국의 3단계 분류에 비해 복잡하며 단계별 누진율이 과다하게 높다. 주택용의 기본요금과 전력량요금이 모두 누진적이나 이에 대한 경제적 논거가 약하다. 전기요금의 중단기적 개선의 기본방향은 한계요금체계에의 근접화, 정책적 왜곡의 최소화, 수요관리 요금체계의 강화로 정리될 수 있다. 현재의 전기요금체계는 산업정책 소득정책 정치적 선택 등 정책적 요소를 혼용하고 있는데, 정부의 경제개입이 줄어드는 추세에 맞추어 전기가 필수재라는 요소 이외의 정책적 요소는 사라져야 한다. 또한 전기가 피크기의 수요에 맞추어 용량을 확보해야 하는 특성을 가지고 있으므로 피크기의 수요관리는 설비비용의 절약으로 소비자 모두에게 혜택을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 위의 기본방향을 기반으로 하여 구체적 개선방안으로 산업용 일반용 교육용의 전압별 통합, 산업용 일반용의 선택요금 및 차등폭 확대, 요금의 비용 근접화, 농사용내의 구분 단일화, 주택용의 체계 단순화, 누진율의 대폭 완화, 하계수요관리 요금의 도입, 계시별 차등요금시간대 단순화를 제안한다. 이러한 개선방안은 현재의 전기요금체계를 경제학적 논리기반에 근접화시키고 좀도 효율화 합리화시킬 수 있을 것이다.

As networked virtual environment (NVE) scales in terms of users and network latency, a key aspect to consider is scalability for interactive performance because a large number of objects likely impose heavy burden especially on the network and computational resources. To improve the scalability, various relevance-filtering mechanism have been proposed. However, the existing filtering mechanism do not scale well in terms of interactive performance as the number of users increase and crowds in a specific place. In this paper, we propose a new scalable filtering scheme which reduces the number of messages by dynamically grouping users based on their interests and distance. Within a group, members communicate with each other with high fidelity. However, a representative sends up-to-dated group information of members with low transmission frequency when they are not of immediate interest but are still within the interest area. The representative is elected from members of the group in distributed manner. The proposed scheme enhances the interactive performance scalability of large-scale NVE systems as much as 18% compared with the existing approach.

In this study, we developed a deep learning and vision sensor-based assembly performance evaluation method isfor prefabricated steel structures. The assembly parts were segmented using a modified version of the receptive field block convolution module inspired by the eccentric function of the human visual system. The quality of the assembly was evaluated by detecting the bolt holes in the segmented assembly part and calculating the bolt hole positions. To validate the performance of the evaluation, models of standard and defective assembly parts were produced using a 3D printer. The assembly part segmentation network was trained based on the 3D model images captured from a vision sensor. The sbolt hole positions in the segmented assembly image were calculated using image processing techniques, and the assembly performance evaluation using the k-nearest neighbor algorithm was verified. The experimental results show that the assembly parts were segmented with high precision, and the assembly performance based on the positions of the bolt holes in the detected assembly part was evaluated with a classification error of less than 5%.
