In this paper, an algorithm that provisions absolute differentiation of packet delays is proposed with an objective for enhancing quality of service (QoS) in future packet networks. It features an adaptive scheme that compensates the deviation for prediction on the traffic to be arrived continuously. It predicts the traffic to be arrived at the beginning of a time slot and measures the actual arrived traffic at the end of the time slot, and derives the deviation between the two quantity. The deviation is utilized to the delay control operation for the next time slot to offset it. As it compensates the prediction error continuously, it shows superior adaptability to the bursty traffic as well as the constant rate traffic. It is demonstrated through simulation that the algorithm meets the quantitative delay bounds and shows superiority to the traffic fluctuation in comparison with the conventional mechanism.

무선 센서 네트워크는 고정 인프라 없이 센서 노드만으로 정보를 수집하는 네트워크로서 센서들의 위치정보 식별은 매우 중요하다. 센서 노드간 거리 측정은 신호의 도착시간차(Time of Arrival: ToA), 신호세기(Received Signal Strength: RSS), 신호각도(Angle of Arrival: AoA)에 기반을 둔 방법 등이 있다. 무선 센서 네트워크에 배치되어 있는 각 센서 노드간 정확한 거리 식별을 위해 기존의 거리 측정 방법을 보완하여 거리 오차를 줄이는 ToA기반의 RSS보정 방법을 제안한다. 구체적으로 초음파를 통한 거리측정 값에 맵(RF-MAP)을 통해 보정한 RSS값을 가중치로 보정하여 기존의 거리 측정 방법보다 측정오차를 줄였다. 실험을 통해 제안한 방법은 기존 ToA보다 실내(5m×7m)에서 평균 0.1cm, 실외(10m×10m) 평균 0.6cm 측정 오차를 줄일 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다.

센서네트워크에서 이동물체의 경로 추적과 같이 실시간으로 패킷이 목적노드에 도착하여야 데이터가 유효한 응용의 경우에는 패킷 전송의 실시간을 보장할 수 있는 전송경로설정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 패킷을 전송하는데 있어서 지연시간을 증가시키는 요소인 혼잡상황과 낮은 링크 퀄리티를 가지는 경로를 회피함으로 전송지연시간을 최소로 줄이는 전송경로 설정 기법을 제안한다 네트워크의 위상에 따라 노드마다 다른 양상을 보이는 채널 부하도를 효과적으로 측정하고 네트워크의 혼잡상황을 판단하는 기준으로 삼는다. 이와 함께 링크의 전송 성공률을 이용하여 이웃 노드들의 전송경로 선택의 적합도를 계산하고 확률적으로 경로를 선택한다.

This paper presents a method of PRI do-interleaving for LASER pulse signals. When the PRI of LASER pulse is periodically changed, the first deviation and the second deviation of TOA is used to calculate the PRI pattern of input LASER signals of receiver. If the standard deviation of the first difference of TOA is less than 5% of the average of the first difference of TOA, the PRI pattern of LASER signal is fixed or jittered type. If the standard deviation is larger than 5% of the average, those are triangular PRI patterns or sawtooth PRI patterns.

UWB(Ultra Wide Band)는 기존의 스펙트럼에 비해 매우 넓은 대역에 걸쳐 낮은 전력으로 대용량의 정보를 전송가능하며 정확성면에서 탁월하며 신호 도달거리가 길다는 장점에서 실내 위치 측위기술로 가장 적당하다. 측위 기술 방법 중 각도를 측정하여 위치를 측정 하는 AoA방식과 도착 시간을 이용해서 위치를 측정하는 ToA방식, 그리고 두 리더기간의 시간의 차를 측정하여 리더기 간의 거리차가 일정함을 통해 얻는 쌍곡선의 교점을 이용하는 TDoA방식이 가장 대표적으로 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 2개의 리더기에서 AOA방법을 통한 두 각의 교점과 ToA의 두 원들과의 교점, TDOA방식의 한 쌍의 쌍곡선의 교점을 이용하여 3개의 리더기가 아닌 2개의 리더기 사용으로 리더기의 개수를 최소화 하며 위치 추적의 정확도를 높이고자 한다. UWB의 특징과 실내 위치 결정 측위 방법 소개와 더불어 Hybrid를 통하여 얻을 수 있는 효과를 설명한다.

By securing golden time, this study analyzed the effects of an emergency vehicle priority system in Cheongju, North Chungcheong province. Until the scene of a fire is reached, severe obstacles in the street, such as traffic congestion, cars coming forward, non-cooperative vehicles etc., are significant. To solve these problems of road obstacles, it is essential to adopt an emergency vehicle priority system. From April 2017 to June 2018 (1 year and 2 months, 426 days), the dispatch time and date, fire truck moving distance and required time, traffic signal control section and pass time, and shortening time, were measured. This study selected 140 cases consisting of five heavy traffic and frequent dispatch routes out of 293 cases. The effects of the emergency vehicle priority system were excellent. Overall, it took 3 min 3 s to pass 1 km on an uncontrolled traffic signal section. On the other hand, it took 1 min 23 s to pass 1 km on the same section that was controlled. The shortening time to pass 1 km was 1 min 40 s, showing a 45.4% reduction. This means that the 15 min driving time can be reduced to 6 min and 49 s. From this result, an emergency vehicle priority system should be implemented nationwide as soon as possible.

This study examined the socio-economic and clinical characteristics associated with the use of ambulance services among pregnant, childbearing, and postpartum women based on data from the 2008-2016 Korea Health Panel. The analysis revealed that among the pregnant, childbearing, and postpartum women, the proportion using all ambulance services was 18.9% whereas 12.0% used private and 119 ambulances. Moreover, among those using ambulance services, delivery was the most common reason (38.7%) followed by complications of labor and delivery (20.0%) and pregnancy with abortive outcome (17.3%). There were statistically significant differences between the users and non-users of ambulance services in terms of the average annual household income, emergency arrival time, and delayed arrival at the emergency room. As childbirth becomes more complicated due to low fertility and elderly mothers, the expansion and improvement of ambulance services as a social safety net for pregnant, childbearing, and postpartum women will become increasingly important.

In this paper, we derived a closed-form equation of a Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE) estimator for the 3 dimensional estimation of the position of the emitter based on the Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) technique. The BLUE derived for the case of estimating 3 dimensional position of the emitter with 4 base stations or sensors, and for this purpose, we used an approximated equation of the TDOA hyperbola equation obtained from the first order Taylor-series after setting the reference points of the position. The derived equation can be used for any kind of noises which are uncorrelated in each other in the TOA measurement noises and for a white Gaussian noise also.

In this paper, we analyze the location accuracy of real-time locating systems (RTLS) in multipath environments, where the RTLS complies with an ISO/IEC 24730-2 international standard. RTLS readers should have an ability not only to recover the transmitted signal but also provide arrival timing information from the received signal. In the multipath environments, in general, the transmitted signal goes through both direct and indirect paths, and then it becomes some distorted form of the transmitted signal. Such multipath components have a critical effect on deciding the first arrival timing of the received signal. To analyze the location error of the RTLS in the multipath environments, we assume two multipath components without considering an additive white Gaussian noise. Through the simulation and real test results, we confirm that the location error does not occur when the time difference between two paths is more than 1.125Tc, but the location error of about 2.4m happens in case of less than 0.5Tc. In particular, we see that the resolvability of two different paths depends largely on the phase difference for the time difference of less than 1Tc.

In this paper, we proposed receiver structure based on an iterative turbo equalization to cope with phase difference between two sensors in MIMO underwater communication channel. In a space-time coded system, it is often assumed that there are no phase errors among the multiple transmitter and receiver chains. In this paper, we have studied the effect of the phase errors between different transmit sensors and different propagation paths in the environment of MIMO underwater communication system, and have shown through BER performance by computer simulations that the bit-error-rate performance can be severely degraded. A decision-directed estimation and compensation algorithm has been proposed to minimize their effects on the system performance. In this paper, we investigate the phase differences and their effects on multiple-input and multiple-output systems, and propose a compensation algorithm for underwater channel model to minimize their effects.
