As the spectrum shortage problem has accelerated by the emergence of various services, New Radio-Unlicensed (NR-U) has appeared, allowing users who communicated in licensed bands to communicate in unlicensed bands. However, NR-U network users reduce the performance of Wi-Fi network users who communicate in the same unlicensed band. In this paper, we aim to simultaneously maximize the fairness and throughput of the unlicensed band, where the NR-U network users and the WiFi network users coexist. First, we propose an optimal power allocation scheme based on Monte Carlo Policy Gradient of reinforcement learning to maximize the sum of rates of NR-U networks utilizing rate-splitting multiple access in unlicensed bands. Then, we propose a channel occupancy time division algorithm based on sequential Raiffa bargaining solution of game theory that can simultaneously maximize system throughput and fairness for the coexistence of NR-U and WiFi networks in the same unlicensed band. Simulation results show that the rate splitting multiple access shows better performance than the conventional multiple access technology by comparing the sum-rate when the result value is finally converged under the same transmission power. In addition, we compare the data transfer amount and fairness of NR-U network users, WiFi network users, and total system, and prove that the channel occupancy time division algorithm based on sequential Raiffa bargaining solution of this paper satisfies throughput and fairness at the same time than other algorithms.

In the environment where multiple AGVs(Automated Guided Vehicles) operate concurrently in limited space, collisions, deadlocks, and livelocks which have negative effect on the productivity of AGVs occure more frequently. The accelerated motion of an AGV is also one of the factors that make the AGV routing more difficult because the accelerated motion makes it difficult to estimate the vehicle's exact travel time. In this study, we propose methods of avoiding collisions, deadlocks, and livelocks using OAR(Occupancy Area Reservation) table, and selecting best route by estimating the travel time of an AGV in accelerated motion. A set of time-driven simulation works validated the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

This paper presents a deadlock avoidance method for AGVs in automated container terminals. For a more efficient use of AGV traveling area, we divided the area into small-sized grids not enough to cover a whole AGV. Our deadlock avoidance method controls AGVs by identifying strongly connected components(SCCs) in a graph derived from the paths of AGVs on the grids. Also in this paper we suggest a route selection scheme which selects a route by predicting and comparing travel times of candidate routes by using a regression formula. Simulation experiments have shown that the proposed method can control AGVs for 48 hours without deadlocks and the count of AGV visits per QC is increased by $2\~10$ an hour.

Wireless services and devices that use frequency increase more and more because of advancement of the industry. Therefore, the available spectrum band becomes increasingly insufficient. Cognitive Radio, which adaptively utilizes the vacant licensed spectrum band, is considered as an effective way to utilize the spectrum resource shortage. CR user should move from current allocated channel to vacant channel to avoid the interference to the primary user when the primary user appears in the current channel. In this case, CR system undergoes the break off time until handshake is completed. So, in order to guarantee the Quality of Service(QoS) of CR system, fast handshake method is required. In this paper, we propose the embedded control signal transmission technique to reduce the break off time. This method can transmit the control signals in data transmission period as well as the broadcasting period. Proposed method can improve the data throughput and decrease the break off time. Computer based simulation proves that our proposed scheme outperforms conventional one.

In this paper, the perceived audio level metering algorithm of digital audio sound to be able to operate in real-time is proposed. Through analyzing a conventional recommendation ITU-RBS1387-I for objective audio quality analysis, FFT-based loudness metering algorithm is implemented and the real-time method of that algorithm was advised and proved. The proposed method is based on look-up table. In order to prove the proved method, using 23 pure tones and 30 preselected digital audio samples, its performance and operation time is evaluated. Its performance, compared with an original algorithm's, have a good figure of less than $2\;\%$ error even if look-up table related with spectral spreading have large level resolution of $10\;\cal{dB}$. The proposed algorithm take only 1/21 of original algorithm's measuring time. Also, in the proposed algorithm auditory pitch group energy calculation take 1/450 of original algorithm's and excitation calculation take 1/3.57. In conclusion, the proposed algorithm is expected to be implemented into DSP-based real-time loudness meter.

Throughput and latency of interconnection network are important factors of the performance of multiprocessor systems. The dual-link CC-NUMA architecture using point-to-point unidirectional link is one of the popular structures in high-end commercial systems. In terms of optimal path between nodes, several paths exist with the optimal hop count by its native multi-path structure. Furthermore, transaction latency between nodes is affected by congestion of links on the transaction path. Hence the transaction latency may get worse if the transactions make a hot spot on some links. In this paper, I propose a dynamic transaction routing algorithm that maintains the balanced link utilization with the optimal path length, and I compare the performance with the fixed path method on the dual-link CC-NUMA systems. By the proposed method, the link competition is alleviated by the real-time path selection, and consequently, dynamic transaction algorithm shows a better performance. The program-driven simulation results show $1{\~}10\%$ improved fluctuation of link utilization, $1{\~}3\%$ enhanced acquirement of link, and $1{\~}6\%$ improved system performance.

This paper proposed lightweight aluminum bipolar plates as an alternative for conventional graphite bipolar plates in fuel cell systems used as a power source for small reconnaissance UAVs. Since bipolar plates occupy more than 80% of the total weight of the fuel cell system, lightweight aluminum bipolar plates can improve the overall payload and flight time of the fuel cell UAV. The aluminum and graphite bipolar plates were fabricated to compare the performance of each of them. A 15% higher performance per weight was obtained from aluminum bipolar plates than the graphite bipolar plates. Also, the performance of a single cell using aluminum bipolar plates was evaluated under various operating conditions.

WFQ (Weighted Fair Queuing) is the most popular fair queuing algorithm, but it had the inherent drawback of a poor bandwidth utilization, particularly under the traffic requiring a low rate but tight delay bound such as internet phone, It was recently identified that the poor utilization is mainly due to non optimized latency of a flow and then LOFQ(Latency-Optimized Fair Queuing) to overcome the drawback was introduced, LOFQ was also improved through introducing an occupied resource optimization function and the implementation complexity of recursive resource transformation was reduced with revising the transformation scheme. However, the performance of LOFQ has been evaluated by means of simulation, so that there are some difficulties in evaluating the performance in the terms of the accuracy and evaluation time, In this paper, we develop how to analytically compute the bandwidth utilization in LOFQ.

본 논문은 현재 무선 LAN 환경에서 적용되고 있는 매체접근제어 프로토콜인 IEEE 802.11 CSMA/CA를 이용함으로써, 음성 위주의 항공이동통신에서 음성과 데이터 채널을 통합하여 사용하도록 하고 있다. 또한, 표준으로 제정되어 있는 기존의 CSMA/CA 매체접근제어 프로토콜에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 성능 개선 방안을 제안하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 채널 효율을 향상시켰다. IEEE 802.11 매체접근제어(MAC, Medium Access Control) 프로토콜은 데이터 유형에 따라 채널을 두 개의 구간(PCF와 DCF 구간)으로 나누어 전송하도록 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는, 데이터 유형별로 적용되는 구간 중, DCF 구간에서의 패킷간의 충돌 가능성을 줄임으로써 데이터 전송 효율을 높이는데 주안점을 두고 있다. 제안 방안으로는 경쟁 구간에서의 전송에서 충돌에 따른 손실을 보완할 수 있도록 Wireless Window Protocol(이하, WWP)을 적용한 후 전송 과정을 제어하였다. Hidden 터미널의 영향이 적으므로 가시권내 통신에 적합한 기존의 2-Way CSMA/CA 프로토콜을 항공통신에 적용하여 상태 천이 과정을 5개에서 6개로 세분화하였고, 주어진 확률에 의하여 나누어진 두 개의 그룹별로 상태 천이 과정을 다르게 적용하였다. 따라서, 채널이 한 항공기에 의해 점유되는 PCF를 제외한, DCF 구간에서의 데이터 전송 효율을 높일 수 있었다. 시뮬레이션은 채널 대역폭과 패킷 크기 등을 파라미터 값으로 하여 수행하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과 CSMA/CA에 비해 새로 제안한 알고리즘이 데이터 전송 과정에서 발생하는 충돌 가능성을 감소시킴으로써 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

Traditionally, Mobile Teletraffic model consists of two sub-models, i.e. the network traffic model and the traffic source model. In this paper, we present the traffic source model by developing MobCall(Mobile Call Simulator) which analyses various mobile wireless environments based on regional characteristics that the base stations are located. User mobility is presented by regional average vehicle speeds and the transportation share rate. Moreover, the user mobility on subway, which is increasing in urban area, is considered in MobCall. Using MobCall, the accumulated number of calls in residential and commercial regions, the handoff rate with respect to traffic sources of Seoul, the handoff rate on highway, and the handoff rate according to the call duration are presented. MobCall enables the simulation of dynamic handoff buffering and functional entity control of one base station according to the changes in user's calling pattern at the design phase.
