In this paper, we proposed a simulation model to which apply the AAL 2 (AAL type 2) between BSC and MSC in the cellular mobile communication systems. We suggested the frame structure of processing the packets of short length and the scheme which multiplex to one or more ATM cell. Also, we analyzed the performance of the APR, transmission delay, and channel transmission efficiency used in the packetized voice traffic and the low bit-rate data traffic such as fax. From the simulation results, the maximum number of users are 47 users without using AAL 2 multiplexing, but the maximum number of users are 70 (Non-Overlapping scheme) users, 110 (Overlapping scheme) users, respectively. Thus, we knew that the Overlapping scheme is more efficient than the Non-Overlapping scheme. Finally, we showed that the optimum transmission buffer size is 4 ATM cells in the cellular communication systems with the bandwidth of 2 Mbps.

To cope with recently increasing demand for data traffics, heterogeneous networks have been actively studied, where small cells are deployed within a macro cell coverage with the same frequency band. To mitigate the interference from the macro cell to small cells, an enhanced Inter-cell Interference Coordination (eICIC) technique has been proposed, where ABS (Almost Blank Subframe) is used in time domain. However, there is a waste of resource since no data is transmitted in a macro-cell in ABS. In this paper, we propose a new interference management method by using a 3D sector beam based on Active Antenna System (AAS), where Genetic Algorithm (GA) is applied to reduce the antenna gain toward a small-cell. With the proposed scheme, the macro-cell and small cells can transmit data at the same time with the AAS antenna pattern generating reduced interference to small cells. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated by using an LTE-Advanced system level simulator.

The Qis visualizational spreadsheet environment is shown to be extremely effective in supporting the organized visualization of multi-dimensional data sets. The Qis consists of the reconfigurative 2D arrangement of spreadsheet elements at run time and each spreadsheet element has a novel framestack. As the feature, it supports 3D data structure of each element on the Qis. It enables the visualization spreadsheet to effectively manage, rapidly organize, and compactly encapsulate multi-dimensional data sets for visualization. Using several experiments with scientific users, the Qis has been demonstrated to be a highly interactive visual browsing tool for the analysis of multidimensional data, displaying 2D and 3D graphics, and rendering in each frame of the spreadsheet.

In order to resolve coverage hole problems caused by indoor-BS (IBS) faults, we propose a new frame structure and practical algorithm based on optimization technique. Our main contributions can be described as follows: 1) a frame structure with healing channels for solving abnormal IBS faults; and 2) an efficient heuristic resource allocation algorithm with fixed IBS selection to reduce the complexity for the optimization problem. Through intensive simulations, we evaluate the performance excellency of our proposed algorithm with respect to average cell capacity and user fairness compared with conventional algorithms.

III-V 화합물 태양전지는 실리콘 등 다른 태양전지에 비해 1sun상 30% 이상의 고효율을 갖고 있고 direct bandgap과 높은 이동도 등의 물질특성과 3족과 5족의 비율 조절로 같은 결정구조에서 에너지 bandgap이 다른 물질들을 만들기에 용이하여 태양전지 스펙트럼의 넓은 영역을 흡수할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나 셀 자체의 물질이 실리콘에 비하여 고가여서 고성능이 요구되는 우주 인공위성 등에 적용이 되었지만, 2000년대 이후로 집광에 적용 가능한 태양전지의 연구를 거듭하여 2005년부터는 값싼 프레넬 렌즈를 이용하여 1 sun에 비해 500배 해당하는 빛을 셀에 집광하여 보다 효율을 증가시킴으로써 지상발전용에도 적용 가능한 셀을 형성하게 되었다. 더불어 태양전지의 효율을 증가시키기 위한 다양한 구조적 변화의 시도도 많이 이루어지고 있다. 최근 실리콘 태양전지의 표면에 texture 구조를 주어 높은 흡수율과 낮은 반사율을 갖게 함으로써 효율을 증가시키는 사례가 많아지고, III-V 화합물 태양전지도 texturing에 의해 증가된 효율을 발표한바 있다. 본 연구에서는 III-V 화합물 InGaP 태양전지의 window층으로 사용되는 InAlP 층에 Metal-assisted chemical etching (mac etching) 방법으로 texture 구조를 형성하여 etching 시간에 따른 InAlP층의 표면 변화와 반사율의 변화를 분석하였다.

With the advent of digital cinema, more and more movies are digitally produced, distributed via digital medium such as hard drives and network, and finally projected using a digital projector. However, digital cameras capable of shotting at 2K or higher resolution for digital cinema are still very expensive and bulky, which impedes rapid transition to digital production. As a low-cost solution for acquiring high resolution digital videos, we propose a hybrid camera consisting of a low-resolution CCD for capturing videos and a high-resolution CCD for capturing still images at regular intervals. From the output of the hybrid camera, we can synthesize high-resolution videos by software as follows: for each frame, 1. find pixel correspondences from the current frame to the previous and subsequent keyframes associated with high resolution still images, 2. synthesize a high-resolution image for the current frame by copying the image blocks associated with the corresponding pixels from the high-resolution keyframe images, and 3. complete the synthesis by filling holes in the synthesized image. This framework can be extended to making NPR video effects and capturing HDR videos.

This paper presents an efficient hardware architecture to improve the frame memory interface occupying the largest hardware area together with motion estimator in implementing MPEG-2 video encoder as an ASIC chip. In this architecture, the memory size for internal data buffering and hardware area for frame memory interface control logic are reduced through the efficient memory map organization of the external SDRAM having dual bank and memory access timing optimization between the video encoder and external SDRAM. In this design, 0.5 m, CMOS, TLM (Triple Layer Metal) standard cells are used as design libraries and VHDL simulator and logic synthesis tools are used for hardware design add verification. The hardware emulator modeled by C-language is exploited for various test vector generation and functional verification. The architecture of the improved frame memory interface occupies about 58% less hardware area than the existing architecture[2-3], and it results in the total hardware area reduction up to 24.3%. Thus, the (act that the frame memory interface influences on the whole area of the video encoder severely is presented as a result.

This paper presents an efficient hardware architecture of frame memory interface in MPEG-2 video encoder. To reduce the size of memory buffers between SDRAM and the frame memory module, the number of clocks needed for each memory access is minimized with dual bank operation and burst length change. By allocating the remaining cycles not used by SDRAM access, to the random access cycle, the internal buffer size, the data bus width, and the size of the control logic can be minimized. The proposed architecture is operated with 54MHz clock and designed with the VT $I^{тм}$ 0.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS TLM standard cell library. It is verified by comparing the test vectors generated by the c-code model with the simulation results of the synthesized circuit. The buffer area of the proposed architecture is reduced to 40 % of the existing architecture.

This paper proposes a method to drive an AC plasma display panel(PDP) with a significantly improved contrast ratio. In the proposed method, during the first sub-field of one frame, all PDP cells are reset by the ramp waveform, and during the other sub-fields, only the cells turned on in the previous sub-field are reset. No light is emitted during the reset period of every sub-field except the first sub-field. For a 10-bit picture, the luminance of the dark level for the proposed method is 10 times lower than that for the conventional method, in which the ramp waveform for the reset is used in every sub-field. Accordingly, the contrast ratio for the proposed method is 10 times higher than that for the conventional method. For the 10-bit picture, the measured contrast ratio was about 3080:1 for the proposed method and about 285:1 for the conventional method, resulting in 10.8 times increase in the contrast ratio. This result shows that the proposed method can realize an image with high contrast ratio.

셀룰러 이동통신망을 이용한 멀티캐스트/브로드캐스트 전송 기술은 이미 수 년 전부터 표준화되어 왔지만 무선 전송 대역의 부족과 멀티캐스트/브로드캐스트 서비스의 필요성에 대한 문제로 상용화까지는 이루어지지 못하고 있었다. 그러나， 3GPP의 LTE와 mobile WiMAX 기술의 등장으로 인하여 전송 대역의 부족에 대한 문제가 해결되었고 스마트폰 등 첨단 기능을 가지는 이동 단말의 등장으로 인하여 멀티캐스트/브로드캐스트 서비스에 대한 요구가 증가되는 등 기술 및 시장에 형성되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 3GPP LTE에서 멀티미디어 멀티캐스트/브로드캐스트 전송 기술에 대한 표준화 동향에 대해서 살펴보고 이를 제공하기 위한 망구조에 대하여 설명한다. 그리고 3GPP LTE에서 동기화된 멀티셀 전송을 위한 전송 기술, 프레임 구조아 동기화 기술에 대해서 기술한다.
