RF energy harvesting technology is a promising technology for generating the electrical power from ambient RF signal to operate low-power consumption devices(eg. sensor) in wireless communication networks. This paper, motivated by this and building upon existing CR(Cognitive Radio) network model, proposes a optimal control policy for RF energy harvesting CR networks model where secondary users that have low power consumption harvest ambient RF energy from transmission by nearby active primary users, while periodically sensing and opportunistically accessing the licensed spectrum to the primary user's network. We consider that primary users and secondary users are distributed as Poisson point processes and contact with their intended receivers at fixed distances. Finally we can derive the optimal frame duration, transmission power and density of secondary user from the proposed model that can maximize the secondary users's throughput under the given several conditions and suggest future directions of research.

This paper proposes the efficient transmit antenna selection (TAS) scheme considering trade-off between the performance and the complexity in massive MIMO system. The massive MIMO system is a core technology to achieve performance objectives for 5 generation wireless communication. It achieve high spectral efficiency, a reliability, and a diversity gain. However many RF chains required by massive transmit antennas equipped in a base station create the problem such as high hardware cost and complexity. Therefor we investigates the transmit antenna selection scheme, in which the number of RF chains of BS is reduced, and the trade-off between the performance and the complexity is considered for proposed scheme. And, the spectral efficiency and complexity are analysed by transmit antenna selection schemes.

In this paper, proposed a new lighting control system which can reduce power consumption compared to conventional street lamps and intelligently control the light efficiently depending on whether there is a vehicle on the street. The new lighting control system proposed by this paper detects the presence of cars by collecting and analyzing sounds generated by the movement of cars. Then, the system controls lighting of street lamps based on the above car detection information, and turns on the street lamps sequentially by transmitting the car detection information. Experimental results showed that lightings were controlled based on the presence of cars and that operations of the lamps were made by turning on the lights sequentially by determining the moving direction of cars. This system is considered a technology that can reduce energies by applying to local roads with a few cars moving or national highways where lights are always turned on with low energy efficiency.

Data transfers occur during the execution time of a Java program, from constant to variable, from variable to other variable and so on. Data are located in memory and hence data transfer requires access to memory. As memory access generates both time delay and energy consumption it is absolutely necessary to know the data transfer overheads incurred among different paths not only to write an efficient program but also to build a high-performance Java virtual machine. In this paper we classify Java memory into three different regions, constant, local variable, and field, and then investigate data transfer overheads among these regions. The result says that the transfer between local variables incur the least overhead usually, while the transfer between fields incur the most. The difference of overheads reaches up to a double. Optimization techniques like JIT reduces the data transfer overhead dramatically. It is observed that the overhead is reduced from 14 to 27 times for the case of Hotspot JVM.

Mobile portable devices for wireless network solely depend on a limited battery power. Therefore, we need to design for wireless communication protocols with an energy efficiency. TCP-Westwood is one of the most important approaches on TCP performance improvement in wireless environments that estimates the available bandwidth by using the sampling mechanism. The advantage is that data can be transmitted efficiently using the estimation of available bandwidth. However, when the sender with TCP-Westwood is in a wireless environment, it does not consider of the sampling mechanism operation. In this thesis, a new energy saving transport protocol, called E2TP(Energy Efficient Transport Protocol), is proposed to solve problems which occur when the sender with TCP-Westwood is in a wireless environment. Also, when there are packet loss while doing frequent link error in a wireless environment, E2TP provides the instantaneous segment size adjustment for a more efficient data retransmission. The simulation result proves that the proposed E2TP has better performance in energy efficiency and throughput than both TCP and TCP-Westwood.

This paper presents a manufacture of the multiple subjects biotelemetry system using custom CMOS IC fabricated $1.5{\mu}m$ n-well process technology. The implantable circuits of the system except sensor interface circuits including FM transmitter are fabricated on a single chip with the sire of $4{\times}4mm^{2}$. It is possible to assemble the implantable system in a hybrid package as small as $3{\times}3{\times}2.5cm$ by using this chip, It's main function is to enable continuous measurement simultaneously up to 7-channel physiological signals from the selected one among 8 subjects. Another features of this system are to enable continuous measurement of physiological signals, and to accomplish ON/OFF switching of an implanted battery by subject selection signal with command signal from the external circuit. If this system is coupled with another appropriate sensors in medical field, various physiological parameters such as pressure, pH and temperature are to be measured effectively in the near future.

A cloud system has to deal with highly variable workloads resulting from dynamic usage patterns in order to keep the QoS within the predefined SLA. Aside from the aspects regarding services, another emerging concern is to keep the energy consumption at a minimum. This requires the cloud providers to consider energy and performance trade-off when allocating virtualized resources in cloud data centers. In this paper, we propose a resource provisioning approach based on dynamic thresholds to detect the workload level of the host machines. The VM selection policy uses utilization data to choose a VM for migration, while the VM allocation policy designates VMs to a host based on its service reputation. We evaluated our work through simulations and results show that our work outperforms non-power aware methods that don't support migration as well as those based on static thresholds and random selection policy.

This paper describes a design of cryptographic processor that implements the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) block cipher algorithm“Rijndael”. To achieve high throughput rate, a sub-pipeline stage is inserted into the round transformation block, resulting that the second half of current round function and the first half of next round function are being simultaneously operated. For area-efficient and low-power implementation the round transformation block is designed to share the hardware resources in encryption and decryption. An efficient scheme for on-the-fly key scheduling, which supports the three master-key lengths of 128-b/192-b/256-b, is devised to generate round keys in the first sub-pipeline stage of each round processing. The cryptoprocessor designed in Verilog-HDL was verified using Xilinx FPGA board and test system. The core synthesized using 0.35-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS cell library consists of about 25,000 gates. Simulation results show that it has a throughput of about 520-Mbits/sec with 220-MHz clock frequency at 2.5-V supply.

Recently, research are being conducted to provide an automated environment utilizing various sensors in a place where management is use. However, in an existing automation system environment because the measured sensor data is processed in a batch in the server, than the currently action task there arises a problem that a conflict occurs between task when a task that should operate preferentially occurs. In this paper, we propose a system that provides automation using Sensor Data Identification Algorithm to solve these problems. The algorithm distinguishes between real-time and non-real-time tasks and automatically control tasks what happens after priority is applied. Through this, it is expected that it can reduce manager intervention and reduce unnecessary work operation and power consumption and construct an efficient automation environment.

This paper presents a low power PLL based clock geneator circuit for microprocessors. It generates 32MHz${\sim}$1GHz clocks and can be integrated inside microprocessor chips. A high speed D Flip-Flop is designed using dynamic differential latch and a new Phase Frequency Detector(PFD) based on this FF is presented. The PFD enjoys low error characteristics in phase sensitivity and the PLL using this PFD has a low phase error. To improve the linearity of voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) in PLL, the voltage to current converter and current controlled oscillator combination is suggested. The resulting PLL provides wide lock range and extends frequency of generated clocks over 1 GHz. The clock generator is designed by using $0.65\;{\mu}m$ CMOS full custom technology and operates with $11\;{\mu}s$ lock-in time. The power consumption is less than 20mW.
