This paper describes implementation of the 5.0GHz RF frequency synthesizer with $0.18{\mu}m$ silicon CMOS technology being used as an application of the IEEE802.15.4 USN sensor node transceiver modules. To get good performance of speed and noise, design of the each module like VCO, prescaler, 1/N divider, fractional divider with ${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$ modulator, and common circuits of the PLL has been optimized. Especially to get good performance of speed, power consumption, and wide tuning range, N-P MOS core structure has been used in design of the VCO. The chip area including pads for testing is $1.1*0.7mm^2$, and the chip area only core for IP in SoC is $1.0*0.4mm^2$. Through comparing and analysing of the designed two kind of the frequency synthesizer, we can conclude that if we improve a litter characteristics there is no problem to use their as IPs.

A Si(Silicon) MEMS(Micro Electro Mechanical System) package using a doped lossy Si carrier for CPW(Coplanar Waveguide) MMICs(Microwave and Millimeter-wave Integrated Circuits) is proposed in order to reduce parasitic problems of leakage, coupling and resonance. The proposed chip-carrier scheme is verified by fabricating and measuring a GaAs CPW on the two types of carriers(conductor-back metal, doped lossy Si) in the frequency from 0.5 to 40 ㎓. The proposed MEMS package using the lightly doped lossy(15 Ω$.$cm) Si chip-carrier and the HRS(High Resistivity Silicon, 15 ㏀$.$cm) shows the optimized loss and parasitic problems-free since the doped lossy Si-carrier effectively absorbs and suppresses the resonant leakage. The Si MEMS package for CPW MMICs has an insertion loss of only - 2.0 ㏈ and a power loss of - 7.5 ㏈ at 40 ㎓.

In rapid urbanization, demand for utility tunnel increases more, and tunnel boring machine (TBM) has been used widely. Prediction of TBM penetration rate is important for proper estimation of construction period and cost. Although there are several methods, such as NTNU model and CSM model that require many input parameters, fundamental understanding on correlations between rock properties and TBM penetration rate is critical. In this study, we explored the brittleness indices of hard rocks according to various definitions, and the correlations between the brittleness indices and the TBM penentration rates.

Due to the depletion of fossil fuels and the increase in environmental pollution, electric vehicles are attracting attention as next-generation transportation and are becoming popular all over the world. As the interest in electric vehicles and the penetration rate increase, studies on the charging infrastructure with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and information technology are actively under way. In particular, communication with the grid network is the most important factor for stable charging and load management of electric vehicles. However, with the existing centralized infrastructure, there are problems when control-message requests increase and the charging infrastructure cannot efficiently operate due to slow response speed. In this paper, we propose a new charging infrastructure using mobile edge computing (MEC) that mitigates congestion and provides low latency by applying distributed cloud computing technology to wireless base stations. Through a performance evaluation, we confirm that the proposed charging infrastructure (with low latency) can cope with peak conditions more efficiently than the existing charging infrastructure.

Spectrum sharing between wireless systems becomes a critical issue clue to emerging new technologies and spectrum shortage. Recently, IMT system has been allocated in the same frequency C band (3400-4200MHz) along with FSS services on co-primary basis which means that harmful. interference probability may be inspired. In this paper, to estimate the spectrum sharing between IMT and FSS systems, I propose the minimum separation distances as a sharing criterion of I/N=-10dB using the interference to noise ratio(I/N) received at the reference FSS earth station from IMT multiple base station. Especially, same results imply that I/N values can be greatly reduced with MMO SDMA interference mitigation technique of IMT base station so that FSS and IMT systems can co-exist in the sam e frequency with appropriate separation distance.

In this paper, we propose the interference probability according to distance between mobile stations and the maximal power of interfering transmitter as parameters which are used for analysis to co-exist in co-channel of different systems. In order to analyze interfering between each systems, we consider two cases. First, WiBro is an interfering transmitter and WLAN is a victim receiver. Second, WLAN is an interfering transmitter and WiBro is a victim receiver. When the interfering transmitter is WiBro or WLAN, interference probability according to distance between systems is analyzed by setting transmit power of 25 and 23 dBm, respectively. Analyzed coexistence results under various co-use scenarios may be widely applied into the technique developed to get the coexisting condition for wireless devices using many communication protocols in same frequency.

In recent years, owing to the growing user demand for the two-way internet service based on the mobile global broadband communications, a new type of satellite terminal has been developed, known as ESIM(Earth Station in Motion). This service was required by Resolution 158(WRC-15) to study on the coexistence with the co-primary FS(Fixed Service) in 27.5-29.5 GHz as a FSS(Fixed Satellite Service) uplink. In this paper, the average received power on ESIM within -10 dB of beam width of FS and its outage probability was analyzed theoretically and also simulated to account for the azimuth angle with uniform distribution. From the results, it can be concluded that this theoretical analysis is very useful to analyze the interference from ESIM into FS based on the statistical and probabilistic method. Therefore, it is necessary to control the azimuth angle due to a moving terminal as well as the inclination angle of moving path, the operation hours, and the speed of ESIM to protect the co-primary FS.

For the construction of smart factory that are part of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, data from the production environments and production machines should be collected, analyzed, and feedback should be given to predict when failures take place or parts should be replaced. For this purpose, a system that monitors the production environments and the status of the production machines are required. In this paper, the monitoring system for mobile devices and PC is implemented by collecting environmental data from production sites and sensor data of production machine using LoRa, a low-power wireless communication technology. On the mobile devices, production environments and vibration data can be displayed in real time. In PC monitoring program, sensor data can be displayed graphically to check standard deviation and data variation. The implemented system is used to collect data such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure of the production environment, and vibration data of production machines.

Recently, various applications of location trigger service have been required and developed as users of location-based services are increasing. The location trigger is detecting event of entering in, existing in or leaving from pre-specified area, and then alerting by short message service, an e-mall or servicing other pre-defined action to mobile subscribers. The conventional methodology of supporting location trigger is detecting location trigger events as periodical requesting location of mobile communication terminal to location gateway server in mobile communication network. But these conventional methods cause mobile communication interruption when the location trigger services are overloaded; thereby inducing performance of core server to be fell off. So in this paper, we have studied a new location trigger technology, named multilevel location trigger, to reduce mobile core network sewer triggering bottleneck and power consumption caused embedded GPS device of mobile phone. Actually, as design and evaluating the performance of location trigger after building test-bed environment, we contribute toward improving echnology of location trigger.

Mobile portable devices for wireless network solely depend on a limited battery power. Therefore, we need to design for wireless communication protocols with an energy efficiency. TCP-Westwood is one of the most important approaches on TCP performance improvement in wireless environments that estimates the available bandwidth by using the sampling mechanism. The advantage is that data can be transmitted efficiently using the estimation of available bandwidth. However, when the sender with TCP-Westwood is in a wireless environment, it does not consider of the sampling mechanism operation. In this thesis, a new energy saving transport protocol, called E2TP(Energy Efficient Transport Protocol), is proposed to solve problems which occur when the sender with TCP-Westwood is in a wireless environment. Also, when there are packet loss while doing frequent link error in a wireless environment, E2TP provides the instantaneous segment size adjustment for a more efficient data retransmission. The simulation result proves that the proposed E2TP has better performance in energy efficiency and throughput than both TCP and TCP-Westwood.
