Geofence is a virtual perimeter for a real-world geographical area, which could be statically or dynamically established the specified area if necessary. Many geofencing applications incorporate 2D(two-dimensional) map such as the Google map, allowing administrators to define boundaries on top of a satellite view of a specific geographical area. But these applications do not provide 3D(three-dimensional) spatial information as well as 2D location information no matter where indoor or outdoor. Therefore we propose a mechanism to identify indoor or outdoor location for 3D geofence, and implement 3D geofence using smartphone. The proposed mechanism identifies the position information on 3D geofence regardless of indoor or outdoor, inter-floor with only GPS and WiFi. In the near future, 3D geofence as well as LBS are promising applications that become possible when IoT can become organized and connected by location.

아이폰을 비롯한 새로운 스마트 기기의 도입으로 촉발된 폭발적인 데이터 트래픽의 증가는 사회.경제적으로 큰 변화를 가져 왔으며, 앞으로도 그 추세가 계속될 것으로 예측되고 있다. 국내의 경우 증가하는 데이터 트래픽을 수용하기 위해 10MHz의 LTE 시스템을 도입하여 상용 서비스를 시작한 바 있으며, 올해 하반기부터는 20MHz의 광대역 LTE 서비스와 함께 2개의 반송파를 집성하는 CA(Carrier Aggregation) 기술이 적용된 LTE-Advanced, 즉 4G 상용 서비스를 이미 개시하였다. LTE 상용 서비스가 본격화 되기 시작하면서 제조업체와 대학, 연구소 등을 중심으로 다음 세대 이동통신 기술에 대한 관심이 보다 높아졌으며, 최근 LTE-Advanced 상용 서비스 개시를 계기로 5G 이동통신에 대한 논의가 본격적으로 시작되고 있다. ITU-R WP(Working Party) 5D는 2012년 7월에 개최된 제13차 회의에서 2020년 및 그 이후의 미래 IMT 시스템을 위한 비전(Vision) 및 기술동향 연구를 수행하기로 결정하였으며, 2013년부터 본격적인 연구에 착수하여 미래 IMT 기술동향 보고서와 미래 IMT 비전 권고를 각각 2014년과 2015년까지 개발할 계획이다. 이와 관련하여 3GPP와 IEEE 802도 현재 표준화가 진행되거나 진행 예정인 최신 기술들을 중심으로 미래 IMT 기술동향 보고서에 대한 기고를 제출하였다. 향후 ITU-R WP 5D는 전례로 볼 때 현재 진행 중인 2020년 및 그 이후의 미래 IMT 시스템을 위한 비전 및 기술동향 연구 작업이 마무리하면, 4G인 IMT-Advanced의 경우와 마찬가지로 5G의 기술적 요구사항을 정의하고, 5G 후보 기술규격을 외부 표준화 기구들로부터 제안 받아 5G 기술로 승인하는 과정을 밟게 될 것이며, 이후 이 요구사항을 만족하는 시스템을 5G 이동통신 시스템이라고 명명하게 될 것이다. 5G 이동통신 시스템에 대한 요구사항은 다양한 의견 교류를 통해 큰 틀에서 컨센서스를 이루어가는 중이며, 이러한 내용이 ITU-R WP 5D의 기술적 요구사항에 반영되어 보다 구체화 될 것이다. 반면 5G에 대한 기술적 접근방법에 대해서는 여러 시각들이 존재하는 것이 사실이나, 현재 이에 대한 논의가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 결국은 관련 표준화 기구들에서의 논의를 통해 그 접근방법이 최종적으로 결정될 것으로 보인다. 본 고에서는 먼저 5G 이동통신 요구사항과 4G 이후의 표준화 기술에 대해 살펴 본 후, 향후 이동통신 기술이 어떤 시나리오에 따라 발전할 것인지, 5G 네트워크는 어떤 구조를 갖게 될지, 그리고 어떤 기술이 적용될 지 등에 대해 개인적인 시각에서 전망해보고자 한다.

수문학적 가뭄 발생의 직접적 영향은 강수부족량이나, 다양한 사회경제적 인자들은 수문학적 가뭄에 간접적으로 영향을 미치고 있다. 물관리 선진기관에서는 인간의 활동 및 물관리 방식에 따라 수문학적 가뭄을 심화시키거나 완화시킬 수 있음을 인지하고, 인간의 물사용이 가뭄에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위한 다양한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 강수량 및 미래의 인구변화에 따른 수문학적 가뭄의 영향의 정도를 판단함으로써, 인간의 활동이 가뭄에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 제시하고자 한다. 충정북도 시군지역을 대상지역으로 선정하였으며, 시군 장래인구 추정값을 미래 인구자료로, 미래 유출량이 산정되어 제공되는 RCP 4.5와 RCP 8.5시나리오를 활용하여 미래 가뭄상황 예측하였다. 강수량 및 인구변화가 수문학적 가뭄에 미치는 영향 평가를 위하여 코플라함수 기반의 베이지안 네트워크 모형이 활용하였다. 베이지안 네트워크는 강수량, 인구밀도, 수문학적 가뭄사이의 관계 도출을 위하여 활용되었으며, 베이지안 네트워크 내의 결합확률의 산정을 위하여 코플라 함수가 활용되었다. 미래의 강수량 및 인구밀도의 변화에 따른 수문학적 가뭄의 영향 관계를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 강수량이 인구밀도보다 수문학적 가뭄의 발생에 영향을 미치며, 약 0.2~0.3 정도 발생확률이 크게 산정되었다. 두 인자를 동시에 고려할 경우, 강수량이 적고, 인구밀도가 높아지는 조건(F(강수량)=0.1, F(인구밀도)=0.9)에서는 조건부 CDF 변화율이 크게 나타나, 곧 수문학적 가뭄의 위험성이 높음을 확인할 수 있었다. 인구밀도는 수문학적 가뭄의 발생 위험성을 높이 알려져 있으나, 정량적으로 그 값을 제시한 연구 사례는 찾기 어렵다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 가뭄의 영향정도를 정량적으로 표현하였으며, 한 인자만의 영향이 아닌 두 개 이상의 인자들의 복합적인 영향 정도를 제시함으로써 수치적인 비교가 가능하게 하였다. 미래 추정 인자가 인구자료가 한정적이라 인구 자료만을 활용하여 수문학적 가뭄에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으나, 다른 사회경제적 지표를 활용하여 미래 변화에 따른 미래 수문학적 가뭄의 영향 정도의 비교 및 분석 결과를 바탕으로 가뭄 대응 우선순위 선정을 위한 연구자료로 활용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Shannon of the 5G smartphone and Fourier of the signal processing meet in the sampling theorem (2 times the highest frequency 1). In this paper, the initial Shannon Theorem finds the Shannon capacity at the point-to-point, but the 5G shows on the Relay channel that the technology has evolved into Multi Point MIMO. Fourier transforms are signal processing with fixed parameters. We analyzed the performance by proposing a 2N-1 multivariate Fourier-Jacket transform in the multimedia age. In this study, the authors tackle this signal processing complexity issue by proposing a Jacket-based fast method for reducing the precoding/decoding complexity in terms of time computation. Jacket transforms have shown to find applications in signal processing and coding theory. Jacket transforms are defined to be $n{\times}n$ matrices $A=(a_{jk})$ over a field F with the property $AA^{\dot{+}}=nl_n$, where $A^{\dot{+}}$ is the transpose matrix of the element-wise inverse of A, that is, $A^{\dot{+}}=(a^{-1}_{kj})$, which generalise Hadamard transforms and centre weighted Hadamard transforms. In particular, exploiting the Jacket transform properties, the authors propose a new eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) method with application in precoding and decoding of distributive multi-input multi-output channels in relay-based DF cooperative wireless networks in which the transmission is based on using single-symbol decodable space-time block codes. The authors show that the proposed Jacket-based method of EVD has significant reduction in its computational time as compared to the conventional-based EVD method. Performance in terms of computational time reduction is evaluated quantitatively through mathematical analysis and numerical results.

With the rise of internet of things (IoT), there have been several studies to analyze the technological trend and technological convergence. However, previous work have been relied on the qualitative work that investigate the IoT trend and implication for future business. In response, this study considers the patent information as the proxy measure of technology, and conducts a quantitative and analytic approach for analyzing technological convergence using patent co-classification analysis and text mining. First, this study investigate the characteristics of IoT business, and characterize IoT business into four dimensions: device, network, platform, and services. After this process, total 923 patent classes are classified into four types of IoT technology group. Since most of patent classes are classified into device technology, we developed a co-classification network for both device technology and all technologies. Patent keywords are also extracted and these keywords are also classified into four types: device, network, platform, and services. As a result, technologies for several IoT devices such as sensors, healthcare, and energy management are derived as a main convergence group for the device network. For the total IoT network, base network technology plays a key role to characterize technological convergence in the IoT network, mediating the technological convergence in each application area such as smart healthcare, smart home, and smart grid. This work is expected to effectively be utilized in the technology planning of IoT businesses.

In a closed workplace, the management of the workplace is important because the environmental data at the workplace has a great influence on the safety of workers. Today's industrial sites are transformed into data-based factories that collect and analyze data through sensors in those sites, requiring a management system to ensure safety. In general, a safety management system stores and manages data on a central server associated with a database. Since such management system introduces high possibility of forgery and loss of data, workers often suspect the reliability of the information on the management system. In this paper, we present a worker safety management system based on the EOS blockchain which is considered as third-generation blockchain technology. The developed system consists of a set of smart contracts on the EOS blockchain and 3 decentralized applications associated with the blockchain. According to the roles of users, the worker and manager applications respectively perform the process of initiating or terminating tasks as blockchain transactions. The entire transaction history is distributed and stored in all nodes participating in the blockchain network, so forgery and loss of data is practically impossible. The system administrator application assigns the account rights of workers and managers appropriate for performing the functions, and specifies the safety standards of IoT data for ensuring workplace safety. The IoT data received from sensor platforms in workplaces and the information on initiation, termination or approval of tasks assigned to workers, are explicitly stored and managed in the EOS smart contracts.

In the IoT environment, various things could be connected. Those connected things learn and operate themselves, by acquiring data. As human being, they have self-learning and self-operating systems. In the field of IoT study, therefore, the key issue is to design communication system connecting both of the two different types of subjects, human being(user) and the things. With the advent of the IoT environment, much research has been done in the field of UI design. It can be seen that research has been conducted to take complex factors into account through keywords such as multi-modality and interusability. However, the existing UI design method has limitations in structuring or testing interaction between things and users of IoT environment. Therefore, this paper suggests a new UI prototyping method. In this paper, the major analysis and studies are as follows: (1) defined what is the behavior process of the things (2) analyzed the existing IoT product (3) built a new framework driving personality types (4) extracted three representative personality models (5) applied the three models to the smart home service and tested UI prototyping. It is meaningful with that this study can confirm user experience (UX) about IoT service in a more comprehensive way. Moreover, the concept of the personality of things will be utilized as a tool for establishing the identity of artificial intelligence (AI) services in the future.

Since various smart devices are being developed, a growing number of people are reading eBooks instead of paper books. However, people started making eBooks on their own by scanning paper books because there are not enough eBooks provided from market. The term "Bookscan" was made with this reason. The number of bookscan company is increasing because the equipment is too expensive. However, the commercial activity of bookscan company is against copyright law. Also bookscan files are in danger of being illegally distributed on web, because bookscan companies are not protecting copyright. Publication market follows the same procedure with sound market which was collapsed due to copyright problem. Therefore, the technical methods should be prepared for law system against bookscan. The previous ICOP(Illegal Copyrights Obstruction Program) system has been applied to sound and movie files, but not applied to publication. This paper suggests the framework for bookscan file management based on practical mechanism.
