In this paper, we propose a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) method based on channel alignment to simultaneously transmit multiple unicast and multicast streams in frequency-efficient manner. In this method, all receivers in a multicast cluster use the receive beamforming vectors that align their channels, and the base station uses the aligned channel information to design the transmit beamforming vectors that eliminate interference between multicast clusters. Using the effective receive channel information combined with the transmit beamforming vectors, unicast receivers design their own receive beamforming vectors that eliminate interference between unicast receivers. Since the proposed method effectively eliminates the interference, it achieves a higher sum rate than the existing orthogonal multiple access (OMA) method in high SNR regions. In addition, we present a hybrid method that exploits the benefits of the proposed NOMA method and the existing OMA method. Depending on the channel state, the hybrid method adaptively employs the existing OMA method, which improves the received signal power, in low SNR regions and the proposed NOMA method, which effectively eliminates the interference, in high SNR regions, thereby achieving a good sum rate over the entire SNR region.

This paper proposes a technique of sound beamforming that can generate high-directive sound beams, and this paper also presents applications of the proposed algorithm to multi-channel 3D sound systems. The proposed algorithm consists of two phases: first, optimum weights maximizing a sound pressure level ratio between the target and control acoustic regions are designed, and later, the directivity of the pre-designed sound beam is iteratively enhanced by modifying the covariance matrix. The proposed method was evaluated under various situations, and the results showed that it could provide more focused sound beams than the conventional methods.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive coordinated Tx-Rx beamforming scheme for inter-user interference cancellation, when a BS communicates with multiple users that each has multiple receive antenna. The conventional coordinated Tx-Rx beamforming scheme uses a fixed multi-stream per user regardless of the instantaneous channel states, that is, both user with ill-conditioned and well-conditioned channels have the same number of data streams. However, in the proposed adaptive coordinated Tx-Rx beamforming scheme, we select the number of streams per user to solve the inefficient problem of the conventional coordinated Tx-Rx beamforming. As a result of applying the adaptive coordinated Tx-Rx beamforming scheme, the BER performance is improved. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional coordinated Tx-Rx beamforming algorithm by 2.5dB at a target BER of $10^{-2}$.

The applications of composite materials have increased over the past few decades in a variety of structures that require high ratio of stiffness and strength to weight ratios. Recently the thick open section composite beams are used extensively as load carrying members and stiffeners of structural elements. However, most of studies on thick composite beams are limited only to closed section beams. In this study, an open cross-section thick-walled composite beam model which includes coupled stiffness, transverse shear, and warping effects is suggested and the deflections associated with the thick-walled composite beams and thin-walled composite beams are obtained and compared with the finite element analysis results.

The transmit adaptive array requires the forward link channel information for evaluating the optimum transmit weight vector in which a feedback channel provides transmitter with the forward link channel information. The larger transmit adaptive array is, the higher required rate of feedback channel is. Therefore we consider the system that the N-transmit antenna system is expanded to the 2N-transmit antenna system, while the feedback channel is maintained as that of N-transmit antenna system. The increase of the number of antennas can produce the additional diversity gain, however the insufficient feedback bits assigned to each antenna aggravates the quantization error. In this paper, we propose the transmit antenna selection in order to improve the performance of transmit adaptive array having an insufficient feedback channel information. The effective method to transmit the weight vector is also introduced. System performances are investigated for the case of N=4 corresponding to the antenna selection diversity schemes on the flat fading channel and the multipath fading channel. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can improve the system performance by 1 dB when the N is expanded to the 2N, while the feedback channel is restricted to that of N-transmit antenna system.

Thermal energy transport in a two-dimensional horizontal and vertical channel with an isothermal rectangular beam attached to one adiabatic wall is investigated from the numerical solution of Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The solutions have been obtained for dimensionless aspect equations. The solutions have been obtained for dimensionless aspect ratios of beam, H/B=$0.25{sim}4$, Reynolds numbers, Re=$50{\sim}500$ and Grashof numbers, Gr=$0{\sim}5{\times}10^4$. The mean Nusselt number, $\overline{Nu}$ for horizontal and vertical channels shows same value at Gr=0 and increases as Gr increases and decreases as H/B increases at Re=100. $\overline{Nu}$ of vertical channel shows higher in $0.25{\leq}H/B<1.1$ and lower in $1.1{\leq}H/B{\leq}4.0$ than that of horizontal channel at $Gr=10^4$, Re=100. $\overline{Nu}$ of vertical channel shows higher in $0.25{\leq}H/B<1.1$ and lower in $1.1{\leq}H/B=1.0$ than that of horizontal channel at Re=100, $0<Gr{\leq}5{\times}10^4$. A comparison between the experimental and numerical results shows good agreement.
