In this paper, we analysis to consider the performance of PSPM (Phase Shift Pulse-position Modulation), the one of the low power communication technique, in near-field underwater sound channel by sea trial. PSPM is a QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) modulation combined with PPM(Pulse Position Modulation) for low power communication in WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network). It is known that the bandwidth efficiency of PSPM is lower than conventional PSK but the power efficiency increases. In this paper, we will analyze the BER performance of PSPM using data acquired from the sea trials. The BER of QPSK was $6.04{\times}10^{-2}$, PSPM was $3.5{\times}10^{-1}$. Also, PSNR of QPSK was 9.37 dB and in case of PSPM was 9.11 dB.

Approximate computing is an computational technique that is acceptable degree of inaccurate results of accurate results. Approximate multiplication is one of the approximate computing methods for high-performance and low-power computing. In this paper, we propose a high-density, low-power, and high-speed approximate multiplier using approximate 4-2 compressor and improved full adder. The approximate multiplier with approximate 4-2 compressor consists of three regions of the exact, approximate and constant correction regions, and we compared them by adjusting the size of region by applying an efficient partial product reduction. The proposed approximate multiplier was designed with Verilog HDL and was analyzed for area, power and delay time using Synopsys Design Compiler (DC) on a 25nm CMOS process. As a result of the experiment, the proposed multiplier reduced area by 10.47%, power by 26.11%, and delay time by 13% compared to the conventional approximate multiplier.

광 바이오 센서 시스템에서 Trans-Impedance amplifier (TIA)는 광검출기로부터 입력단으로 들어오는 미세한 전기 신호를 원하는 신호레벨까지 증폭하는 역할을 한다. TIA는 광 바이오 센서 시스템의 감도 (sensitivity)를 결정하는 매우 중요한 회로로 저잡음, 저전력, 낮은 입력 임피던스 등의 특성이 요구되어진다. 본 논문에서는 광 바이오 센서 시스템에서 요구되어 지는 저전력, 저잡음 성능을 구현하기 위하여 regulated cascode (RGC) TIA를 설계하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존 common gate (CG) 기법의 TIA에서 전류원 역할을 하는 current source를 저항으로 대체하고, local feedback stage를 이용하는 RGC TIA를 저잡음, 저전력 특성 및 회로 면적 감소의 장점을 갖도록 설계하였다.

This paper proposes a scheduling algorithm that can reduce the power consumed for execution of application programs and the communication cost incurred due to dependencies among tasks. The proposed scheduling algorithm can increase energy efficiency of the DVS(Dynamic Voltage Scaling) by estimating laxity usage during scheduling, making up for conventional algorithms that apply the DVS after scheduling. Energy efficiency can be increased by applying the proposed algorithm to complex multimedia applications. Experimental results show that energy consumptions for executing HD MPEG4, MotionJPEG codec, MP3, and Wavelet have been reduced by 11.2% on the average, when compared to conventional algorithms.

A container security device (CSD) monitors intrusions through the cargo door; it is a reduced function device that uses IEEE 802.15.4 with a beacon mode. However, in the beacon mode, the CSD consumes too much battery power in periodical idle listening and sensing trials. Moreover, the CSD cannot send the message to the CSD reader actively, and it makes big latency problem. Therefore, we propose a low-power CSD to reduce the unnecessary power consumption. The proposed CSD follows the requirements of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and reduces battery consumption through a power-efficient hardware design, a night-watch mechanism for low-power operation and low-power sensing to reduce unnecessary monitoring. And the CSD sends alert message to the CSD reader. Simulation results show that our CSD reduces battery consumption by over 70% through the night-watch mechanism and by approximately 80% through the low-power sensing. And the CSD can send the alert message to the remote CSD reader by over 94%.

From the simulation result, the proposed circuit was evaluated with about 82% power consumption reduction effect in comparison with conventional LED controller block. This research is expected to be helpful for the low power operation and the solution for heat problem of LED display.

본 논문은 무선환경에서 TCP를 이용한 데이터 전송시 전력 소비를 감소시킬 수 있는 저전력 전송 기법을 제안한다. TCP 프로토플은 재전송, 그리고 혼잡제어 등의 기능을 통해 효율적이고 신뢰성있는 통신을 지원한다. 이러한 특성은 망상태가 악화될 경우 이동기기에서 과다한 재전송 및 혼잡제어를 일으켜 이동기기의 전력소비를 증가시키는 주요한 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 재전송 제어를 통해 이를 해결하고 제시된 기법이 기존의 프로토콜보다 전력 소비면에서 효율적임을 시뮬레이션을 통해 밝힌다.
