In this paper, we propose a new power-saving mechanism (PSM) for Long-Term Evolution (LTE) systems by considering a round-trip delay between a user equipment (UE) and its correspondence node. The proposed PSM changes the order of the operational procedures of the legacy LTE PSM by taking the traffic arrival pattern suffering the round-trip delay into account. After modeling the round-trip delay, we numerically analyze the proposed PSM with respect to energy consumption and buffering delay. Then, we characterize these performances by employing a simple energy-delay tradeoff (EDT) curve according to the operational parameters. The resulting EDT curve clearly shows that the proposed PSM outperforms the legacy LTE PSM in terms of both the energy consumption and buffering delay.

넥서스는 물, 에너지, 식량, 토지, 기후 및 환경 등의 부문 간 연관성과 상호의존성을 나타내며, 이러한 넥서스 개념은 최근에 학계와 정책결정자들에게 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 더 나아가 넥서스 관점의 도입으로 단일 부문별로 자원을 관리하는 기존의 정책 결정 체계의 한계를 극복하고, 관련 있는 부문 간의 시너지와 트레이드오프를 고려한 지속가능한 발전을 위한 의사 결정이 가능하게 되었다. 일반적으로 취수-도수-정수처리-송수-분배·급수-물이용-하수집수-하수처리-물재이용으로 구성되는 도시 물순환 시스템에서 공급과정에서 발생되는 물손실 관리를 위한 전략 및 프로그램은 물부문 만에서 평가를 통해 수립되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 시스템 다이나믹스(System Dynamics)를 적용하여 물, 에너지 및 환경 부문을 동시에 고려한 도시 물순환 시스템 모델을 개발하여, 넥서스 관점에서의 합리적인 도시 물손실 관리 방안을 도출하고자 하였다. 그리고 모델 내 부문 간 자원의 사용량 및 이동량의 정량화를 위해 물, 에너지, 환경 지표로 각각 물발자국(Water Footprint), 총 에너지 사용량(Total Energy Use) 및 탄소발자국(Carbon Footprint)이 적용되었다. 개발된 모델을 3개의 도시 에너지 인텐시티 현황(낮음, 보통, 높음)과 4개의 물손실 현황(낮은 물손실, 높은 물손실&낮은 명목손실비, 높은 물손실&보통 명목손실비, 높은 물손실&높은 명목손실비)을 고려한 12개의 시나리오에 적용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 기존의 경제적인 측면 중심의 의사결정 과정에서는 명목손실이 물손실 관리 전략 수립 및 적용의 우선순위였으나, 넥서스 관점에서는 실손실 부분의 개선이 중요함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 도시의 단위 물공급 에너지 인텐시티가 자원 사용 및 이동에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되어서, 넥서스 관점의 의사결정시 사전적으로 분석해야 하는 중요 항목인 것으로 도출되었다. 이와 같은 범용적이고 포괄적인 도시 물순환 물-에너지-환경 넥서스 모델을 통해, 지속가능하고, 체계적이며, 구체적이고, 실현가능한 넥서스관점의 물손실 관리가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

A data-centric routing protocol considering a data aggregation technique at relay nodes is required to increase the lifetime of wireless sensor networks. An energy-efficient data-centric routing algorithm is proposed by considering a tradeoff between acquisition time and energy consumption in the wireless sensor network. First, the proposed routing scheme decides the sink node among all sensor nodes in order to minimize the maximum distance between them. Then, the proposed routing extends its tree structure in a way to minimize the link cost between the connected nodes for reducing energy consumption while minimizing the maximum distance between sensor nodes and a sink node for rapid information gathering. Simulation results show that the proposed data-centric routing algorithm has short information acquisition time and low energy consumption; thus, it achieves high energy efficiency in the wireless sensor network compared to conventional routing algorithms.

In this paper, we propose two novel detection schemes with low-complexity based on the unified receiver architecture which minimizes a fundamental tradeoff at rate-energy region in SWIPT system. The proposed detection schemes are twofold: The two-stage detection scheme and Euclidean distance combination detection scheme. The two-stage detection scheme detects amplitude information of symbols from rectified signals for energy harvesting. In the sequel, it detects symbols based on phase information of baseband signals for information decoding. The Euclidean distance combination detection scheme detects symbols using linear positive-weighted sum of two metrics: Euclidean distance based on baseband signals for information decoding and Euclidean distance based on rectified signals for energy harvesting. For numerical results, we confirm that the proposed detection scheme can achieve better performance than the conventional scheme in terms of symbol error rate, symbol success rate-energy region and achievable rate-energy region.

센서 네트워크에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지면서 센서 네트워크 보안에 대한 문제점이 많이 야기되고 있다. 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 개방된 환경에서 제한적인 자원을 가지는 노드들로 구성되어 있다. 개방된 환경에 배치된 노드들은 공격자에게 쉽게 노출되어질 수 있다. 공격자는 노드를 물리적으로 포획하여 데이터 인증에 사용하는 인증키와 같은 보안 정보들을 획득할 수 있다. 공격자는 포획된 노드를 통하여 허위 보고서로 무선 센서 네트워크에 쉽게 삽입시킬 수 있다. 이는 허위 보고서로 인한 혼란 및 위조 정보의 전달과정에서 발생하는 에너지 고갈 등의 문제점을 유발시키게 된다. 이러한 허위 보고서를 조기에 탐지 및 폐기하기 위하여 동적 여과 프로토콜(DEF: Dynamic En-route Filtering scheme)이 제안되었다. DEF에서 인증키를 재배포 하는 주기는 보안 강도와 비용을 트레이드-오프 하는 관계에 놓여있으므로 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 센서네트워크에서 동적 여과 프로토콜의 인증키 재배포 주기를 결정하는 기법을 제안한다. 배포된 노드들의 위상변화, BS까지 도달한 허위보고서 비율, 공격자에게 포획된 노드의 수 등을 고려하여 재배포 여부를 결정하고 재배포가 결정되면 각 클러스터 헤드들에게 재배포를 명령하게 된다.

This study investigates computing offloading effect of cloud in real-time video personal broadcast service, whose server is mobile device. Mobile device does not have enough computing resource for encoding video. The computing burden is offloaded to cloud, which has abundant resources in terms of computing, power, and storage compared to mobile device. By reducing computing burden, computation energy can be saved while transmission data amount increases because of decreasing compression efficiency. This study shows that the optimal operation point can be found adaptively to time-varying LTE communication condition result of tradeoff analysis between offloaded computation burden and increase in amount of transmitted data.

In the study, the effect of low boiling point oxygenates in high viscous fuels on the exhaust emissions has been investigated for a single cylinder DI diesel engine. It was tested to estimated change of engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics for the base fuels and low boiling point oxygenates blended fuel which have six kinds of fuels and various mixed rates. The results of the study may be con eluded as follows By blending of various low boiling point oxygenated agents to lower grade fuels, significant improvements were simultaneously obtained in smoke, CO, PM, SOF and BSEC. Especially, these trends were remarkably obtained by retarding injection timing, by decreasing boiling point and increasing blending contents of additives in case of oxygenated agents rather than non-oxygenated agents. Also, it was revealed that when 20 vol.％ DMM added to high viscosity fuels and injection timing was retarded, Nox-smoke trade off relationship was much better than that of ordinary diesel fuel. Thus, lower grade fuels with high viscosity could be expected to be used efficiently and cleanly in diesel operation by blending low boiling point oxygenates.

A wireless sensor network which is deployed in hostile environment can be easily compromised by attackers. The selective forwarding attack can jam the packet or drop a sensitive packet such as the movement of the enemy on data flow path through the compromised node. Xiao, Yu and Gao proposed the checkpoint-based multi-hop acknowledgement scheme(CHEMAS). In CHEMAS, each path node enable to be the checkpoint node according to the pre-defined probability and then can detect the area where the selective forwarding attacks is generated through the checkpoint nodes. In this scheme, the number of hops is very important because this parameter may trade off between energy conservation and detection capacity. In this paper, we used the fuzzy rule system to determine adaptive threshold value which is the number of hops for the ACK packets. In every period, the base station determines threshold value while using fuzzy logic. The energy level, the number of compromised node, and the distance to each node from base station are used to determine threshold value in fuzzy logic.

Petrochemical is an energy consuming industry that consumes about 30% of total industrial energy consumption and is a representative carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission source. Among them, the Naphtha Cracking Center (NCC), which produces ethylene, propylene, propane and mixed C4, consumes large amounts of energy and emits significant amounts of CO₂. For this reason, an integrated techno economic- environmental impact assessment aimed at reducing energy consumption and environmental impact factors is necessary to ensure efficiency in terms of economics and environment. This study aims to analyze the efficiency of the heat exchanger network used in the existing NCC base on the pinch analysis and select an improvement plan that can reduced energy consumption. In order to reduces the utility consumption in the process, an optimal heat exchanger network considering the high-temperature and low-temperature stream was derived, and the economic evaluation was conducted by considering the trade-off between the reduction in utility consumption and the increase in heat exchanger installation cost. In addition, an environmental impact assessment was conducted on the reduced CO₂ emission in consideration of the environmental aspect, and the economic environmental impact assessment used the payback period to recover the invested funds to come up with an energy saving plan that can be applied based on the actual process. As a result of considering the economic-environmental impact assessment, when the environmental impact assessment was not considered, it was 4.29 months, 3.21 months, and 3.39 months for each case, and when considering the environmental impact assessment, it was 4.24 months, 3.17 months, and 3.35 months for each case. These results appeared equally both when the environmental impact assessment was not include and when it was include. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was conducted for each case to determine how important factors affect the payback period. As a result of the sensitivity analysis, the cost of the heat exchanger was identified as a major factor influencing the overall cost.
