Blind interference alignment (BIA) scheme has demonstrated a way of interference alignment (IA) without channel state information at transmitter (CSIT). While it shows superior performance in high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime stemming from the maximal degrees of freedom (DoF) gain, BIA scheme achieves inferior sum-rate performance in low SNR regime. This paper proposes a dual-mode transmission strategy which switches between single user (SU) SISO with receive mode selection and the BIA scheme depending upon the range of SNR. First, we derive a closed-form achievable rate for each transmission-mode. Secondly, we propose a low-complex transmission-mode selection algorithm.

천리안위성은 우리나라 최초의 정지궤도복합위성(COMS: Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite)으로 2010년 6월 27일, 남미 기아나 쿠루기지에서 아리안-5 로켓에 의해 발사된 후 동경 128.2도, 적도 상공 약 35,800 km 고도의 정지궤도에 안착되었다. 이 후 궤도상시험 기간과 안정화 기간을 거쳐 2011년 4월 1일, 기상청은 위성자료 서비스를 시작하였다. 천리안위성의 기상영상기는 한반도 주변의 기상변화와 전 지구적 기후 변화 및 대기 운동을 감시하기 위해 실시간 관측 및 전송 시스템을 갖춘 탑재체이다. 이 기상영상기는 하루 8번의 지구 반면 영역과 각각 80번 내외의 북반구 및 한반도 영역을 관측하며, 이 자료는 지상에서 복사보정과 기하보정을 거친 후 위성을 통해 다시 사용자에게 배포된다. 천리안위성 기상영상기는 쉼 없이 관측하고, 일정 시간 이내에 그 자료를 배포해야 한다. 이러한 자료서비스는 운영시스템의 장애나 자연현상에 의한 자료 미수신 혹은 미처리가 발생할 경우 운영 결과 및 성과에 영향을 미친다. 이와 같은 장애에 대비해 국가기상위성센터는 이중화된 시스템을 구축했으며, 자료 백업 부기관으로서 한국항공우주연구원과의 사이트 이중화도 시행하고 있다. 그러나 정지궤도에 있는 위성과 태양 및 지구의 역학적인 관계에 따라 태양 전파 잡음의 영향인 태양간섭과, 위성 태양전지판 충전 장애를 일으킬 수 있는 위성식, 그리고 위성 자정 주변에 발생할 수 있는 태양광 침입 및 산란광 영향 등은 미리 예측되어야 하며, 이 시기 운영 방안 마련과 사용자 공지 등의 조치가 수반되어야 한다. 국가기상위성센터는 춘 추분 시기에 발생하는 이러한 태양 영향을 예측하고 검증했으며, 이 시기 위성 및 지상국의 효율적인 운영방안을 마련하였다.

One of the problems for practical use of fiber-reinforced plastics is the performance degradation by fatigue damage in the joints. The study is to develop a nondestructive technique for real-time evaluation of adhesively bonded composite-metal joints. From the prior study we confirmed that the bonding strength can be estimated from the correlation between the qualify of bonded parts and AUP's. We obtained a curve showing the correlation between the degree of fatigue damage and AUP's calculated from signals acquired during fatigue loading of single-lap and double-lap joints of CFRP and Al6061. The curve is an analogy to the one showing stiffness reduction ($E/E_o$) of polymer matrix composites by fatigue damage. From those facts, it is plausible to predict the degree of fatigue damage in real-time. Amplitude and AUP2 appeared to be optimal parameters to provide more reliable results for single-lap joints whereas Amplitude and AUP2 did for double-lap joints. It is recommended to select optimal parameters for different geometries in the application for real structures.

This paper proposes a cooperative power allocation with the use of partial channel information (e.g., the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and transmit correlation) in multi-cell dual-hop multi-input single-output (MISO) relay systems. In a dual-hop MISO relay channel, it is desirable to allocate the transmit power between dual-hop links to maximize the end-to-end capacity. We consider the maximization of the end-to-end capacity of a dual-hop MISO relay channel under sum-power constraint. The proposed scheme adaptively allocates the transmit power considering the average channel gain of the target relay and the transmit correlation of the desired and inter-relay interference channel from adjacent relays. It is shown by means of upper-bound analysis that the end-to-end capacity can be maximized by making the angle difference of the principal eigenvectors of the desired and inter-relay interference channel orthogonal in highly-correlated channel environments. Finally, the performance of the proposed scheme is verified by computer simulation.

In this study, the thermoelastic properties of poly lactic acid (PLA) based nanocomposites are predicted by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and a micromechanics model. The stereocomplex mixed with L-lactic acid (PLLA) and D-lactic acid (PDLA) is modeled as matrix phase and a single walled carbon nanotube is embedded as reinforcement. The glass transition temperature, elastic moduli and thermal expansion coefficients of pure matrix and nanocomposites unit cells are predicted though ensemble simulations according to the hydrolysis. In micromechanics model, the double inclusion (D-I) model with a perfect interface condition is adopted to predict the properties of nanocomposites at the same composition. It is found that the stereocomplex nanocomposites show prominent improvement in thermal stability and interfacial adsorption regardless of the hydrolysis. Moreover, it is confirmed from the comparison of MD simulation results with those from the D-I model that the interface between CNT and the stereocomplex matrix is slightly weak in nature.

Vehicular communication networking is one of the most important building blocks of Intelligent Transportation System(ITS). The vehicular communication network is a wireless communication system enabling vehicles to communicate with each other as well as with roadside base stations. Especially, Wi-Fi based vehicle-to-infrastructure(V2I) communication is an emerging solution to improve the safety, traffic efficiency, and comfort of passengers. In this paper, we proposed a new communication hub platform for vehicles, and explained vehicle communication technology in short. Through car simulation results, we show thar our proposed system reduces signaling interference.

It is known that the elastic modulus, maximum stress, and maximum strain of fiber-reinforced polymer composites are affected by high pressure. Fracture behavior is also known to be affected by high pressure. In this work, the pressure effect on the compressive fracture toughness of thick quasi-isotropic composites was investigated. Dog-bone type specimens of stacking sequence, [0$^{\circ}$/$\pm$45$^{\circ}$/90$^{\circ}$]$_{11s}$ were used. Compressive fracture tests were conducted under four pressure levels. The pressure levels applied were 0.1 MPa, 100 MPa, 200 MPa, and 300 MPa. Fracture toughness for each pressure level was determined from the compliance method. The results show that the compressive fracture toughness increases with increasing pressure. Specifically, fracture toughness increases 44% as the pressure increases from 0.1 MPa to 300 MPa.

RBS와 XRD를 이용하여 C o-Nb이중층 실리사이드와 구리 배선층간의 열적안정성에 관하여 조사하였다. Cu$_{3}$Si등의 구리 실리사이드는 열처리시 40$0^{\circ}C$정도에서 처음 형성되기 시작하였는데, 이 때 형성되는 구리 실리사이드는 기판의 상부에 존재하던 준안정한 CoSi의 분해시에 발생한 Si원자와의 반응에 의한 것이다. 한편, $600^{\circ}C$에서의 열처리 후에는 CoSi$_{2}$층을 확산.통과한 Cu원자와 기판 Si와의 반응에 의하여 CoSi$_{2}$/Si계면에도 구리 실리사이드가 성장하였는데, 이렇게 구리 실리사이드가 CoSi$_{2}$/Si 계면에 형성되는 것은 Cu원자의 확산속도가 여러 중간층에서 Si 원자의 확산속도 보다 더 빠르기 때문이다. 열처리 결과 최종적으로 얻어진 층구조는 CuNbO$_{3}$/Cu$_{3}$Si/Co-Nb합금층/Nb$_{2}$O$_{5}$CoSi$_{2}$/Cu$_{3}$Si/Si이었다. 여기서 상부에 형성된 CuNbO$_{3}$는 Cu원자가 Nb$_{2}$O$_{5}$및 Co-Nb합금층과 반응하여 기지조직의 입계에 석출되어 형성된 것이다.

In this paper, we performed the comparisons between polarization diversity using dual polarization antennal which has $\pm45^{\circ}$slanted linear polarization characteristics and conventional space diversity in rural and residential areas. The analysis was done by evaluating the diversity gain improvement and cross correlation coefficients between two received signals through each diversity branch. From the results, we could confirmed that space diversity has bigger diversity gain than polarization diversity by 1~2 dB, and there is a little difference of $\pm0.1$ in cross correlation coefficients by analyzing CDF under portable mobile phone environments.

In this paper, we will design a 800MHz broadband antenna after a problem of the narrow bandwidth is improved. This multiple band antenna unifies the CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access), GSM(Global System for Mobile telecommunication) and TRS(Trunked Radio System) band in the UHF bandwidth, and then it is possible at the shore base station or repeater as the commercial use. It used the duplex resonance effect It had the L-shaped feeding structure which adds the V-slot. And it improved profit using stack structure. It was measured that the frequency bandwidth of the designed antenna which is planed $792{\sim}1040MHz$ with 248MHz(33%). And the antenna gain is 9.4dBi, 3dB beam width $60^{\circ}$ in radiation pattern.
