Patent information, which is generated under a specific, objective rule for a prolonged period of time, has the properties of technology, right, and management. Because of these characteristics of patents, patent analysis is used to identify R&D capacities and performances, and management strategies of a given nation or enterprise. In this paper, we analyze LTE essential patents which are key IPRs for implementing standardized LTE technology and major weapons in a global patent war. Total of 2,307 LTE essential patents, published and registered applications from European Telecommunications Standards Institute(ETSI)'s online IPR database as of January 2011, are analyzed in quantitative methods. The analysis results present status and statistics of LTE essential patents by major countries, applicant companies and technical fields. And a comparative study is done using 4 patent indices limited to the LTE essential patents issued in the United States. It is expected that results herein are useful for not only figuring out the technological competitiveness of countries and companies in LTE market, but also suggesting a guide to strategic IPR management for related industries.

ICN (Information-Centric Network) is a next generation Internet communication technology for converting existing Internet communication paradigm to information-based communication paradigm to efficiently use a large amount of information that exists on the Internet. Therefore, unlike existing Internet communication technologies focused on the process of communication using the host address, ICN focuses on the purpose of communication for each information by defining the information of everything that exists on the Internet. For this purpose, ICN uses NbR (Name-based Routing) methods that assign a name to each piece of information, all routers participating in ICN have the physical storage so that they are able to share information with each other. NbR methods on ICN are divided into one-phase routing and two-phase routing depending on how to reach at the storage of each router. However, currently proposed NbR methods cause many problems because they do not reflect the unique characteristics of ICN. Therefore, this paper looked at various NbR issues from caching, access time, distribution, mobility, scaliability, and dissemination of information for an efficient NbR method, and analyzed existing methods proposed for ICN. This paper also proposed a research direction to study the efficient NbR for ICN based on the analysis information.

Cryptographic algorithm testing is performed to ensure that a specific algorithm implementation is implemented correctly and functions correctly. CMVP(Cryptographic Module Validation Program) of NIST in US is the well-known testing system that validates cryptographic modules to Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). There is no FIPS-approved stream cipher, and CMVP doesn't involve its validation testing procedure. In this paper we provide validation systems for three currently used light-weight stream ciphers: Bluetooth encryption algorithm E0, 3GPP encryption algorithm A5/3, and RC4 used for WEP and SSL/TLS Protocols. Moreover we describe our validation tools implemented by JAVA programing.

This paper deals with the design and fabrication of a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed super-wideband semicircular-disk-shaped dipole antenna operating in a frequency band of 2.4 GHz or higher. To feed the antenna, a CPW feed line was appended to the center of the lower arm of the semicircular-disk-shaped dipole antenna. For miniaturization, square patches were added to the ends of the two arms of the semicircular-disk-shaped dipole, whereas the slot width of the CPW feed line at the center of the dipole antenna was increased to improve impedance matching in the 5.4-6.3 GHz band. The simulated frequency band of the proposed antenna for a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2 was 2.369-30 GHz(170.7%), whereas the fabricated antenna was maintained VSWR less than 2 in the frequency range of 2.378-20 GHz when measured using a network analyzer operating up to 20 GHz so it can be applied as a super-wideband antenna for next-generation mobile communications.

For the 4th generation mobile communication, LTE-advanced system needs the broad frequency band up to 100MHz for providing the data rate of maximum 1Gpbs. However, it is very difficult to secure the broad frequency band in the current frequency allocation situation. So, carrier aggregation was proposed as the solution, in which several fragmented frequency bands are used at the same time. Basically, multiple parallel receivers are required to get the information data from the different frequency bands but this conventional multi-chain receiver system is very inefficient. Therefore, in this paper, we like to study the single chain system that is able to receive the multi-band signals in a single receiver based on the time division multiplexing (TDM) reception method. This proposed TDM receiver efficiently manage to receive the multi-band signals in time domain and handle the baseband signals with one DSP board. However, the serious distortion could be generated by the sampling timing offset (STO) in the TDM-based system. Therefore, we like to analyze STO effects in the TDM-based system and propose a compensation method using estimated STO. Finally, it is shown by simulation that the proposed method is appropriate for the single chain receiver and show good compensation performance.

Recently to introduce new services of ultra-high speed wireless access and systems beyond the 3rd generation mobile communication, 5 GHz band has been highly interested. As a way of getting the required frequency, it is considered that microwave relay bands below 6 GHz, which shows a slow decrease in demand and less cost-effectiveness, should be moved to other bands above 6 GHz. In this paper, as a tool for analyzing microwave link design and its service quality, the outage prediction based upon Vigants & Barnett＇s model is reviewed. To show outage and availability calculation, simulations are performed for the operating 4 GHz radio sites, and some results and features regarding frequency movement to 6.7 as well as 8 GHz are also discussed in terms of diversity techniques, bit error rate, and availability As the results, it is confirmed that only the diversity techniques of space or space and frequency can satisfy the annual objective of availability irrespective of frequency movement.

모바일 폰은 최근 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 사용자 제작 컨텐츠 (User-Created Content: UCC)의 생산과 공유를 위한 중요한 수단이다. 또한 HSDPA나 4G와 같은 차세대 이동통신 기술은Flickr나 YouTube 등의 웹 사이트에서 제공되고 있는 UCC 서비스가 모바일 폰을 통해서도 더욱 활발히 이용될 수 있는 가능성을 제시하고 있다. 그러나 모바일 폰이 가지고 있는 작은 화면 크기와 불편한 입력 장치라는 기본적인 한계는 모바일 UCC 서비스의 성공에 큰 장애 요인으로 작용할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 정보 구조 (Information Structure) 및 정보 시각화 (Information Visualization)와 관련된 기존 이론 및 연구들을 기반으로 4가지 다른 모바일 폰 인터페이스들을 개발하고, 사용자들의 모바일 폰을 통한 탐색적 UCC 서비스 사용을 지원하는데 어떠한 인터페이스가 더 적합한지 실험 방법론을 통해 검증하는 것을 기본 목적으로 한다. 본 연구를 위하여 개발된 인터페이스들은 컨텐츠 구조의 관점에서 폴더 기반 계층 구조 (Folder-Based Hierarchical Structure)이나 태그 기반 네트워크 구조 (Tag-Based Network Structure)를 가지고 있으며, 컨텐츠 시각화의 관점에서는 고정 버튼 (Fixed Buttons)이나 멀티 디스플레이 버튼 (Multi-Display Buttons)를 가지고 있다. 66명의 실험 참가자들을 대상으로 한 실험 결과, 사용자들은 탐험 지향적 탐색 과업 (Exploratory Browsing)에서 태그 기반 네트워크 구조 또는 멀티 디스플레이 버튼이 제공된 모바일 인터페이스에 대하여 상대적으로 더 높은 유용성, 즐거움, 만족도, 향후 사용의도 등을 나타내었다.

승자독식(Winner Takes All)이라는 글로벌 경쟁원리로 인해 세계 주요 국가들 사이에 R&D 경쟁이 갈수록 치열해지고 있다. 이에 우리나라에서도 R&D 지원 확대 및 다양한 정책기획 활동 등이 전개되었다. 이러한 노력에도 불구하구 국가 차원에서 기획 및 정책조정이 효과적으로 추진되지 못하고 있으며, 국가연구개발사업 차원에서는 "기획의 양척 과다와 질적 부실"이라는 비판이 제기되고 있다. 반면에 기술 융복합화의 가속화 등 R&D 환경의 불확실성은 더욱 높아졌으며 국가연구개발사업의 규모 증가와 함께 연구기획의 복잡성은 더욱 더 높아졌다. 최근에는 국가 차원의 비전수립과 중장기 정책기획에 기초하여 사업기획과 과제기획을 연계 수행하는 등 기획을 통해 과제를 도출하는 하향식 접근이 강조되면서 기획의 중요성은 더욱 커졌다. 최근 연구기획의 새로운 기법으로서 정보분석 방법론(Information Analysis Method)이 대두되고 있다. 국가연구개발사업의 효율적 기획을 위하여 기존 기술기획 위원회(Peer Review) 방식 외에 정보분석 방법론을 통한 보완이 필요하다. 본고의 목적 크게 두 가지로 설명할 수 있다. 첫째, 현재 진행되고 있는 연구기획 및 연구기획 방법론으로 기장 많이 활용되고 있는 전문가 위원회의 한계를 제시하였다. 둘째, 최근 대두되고 있는 정보분석 방법론과 정보분석 시스템 구축, 그리고 이를 활용한 10대 기술(반도체, 디스플레이, 디지털 망원전파, 이동통신, BcN, 차세대 컴퓨팅, SW솔류션, 디지털콘텐츠, 임베디드 SW, 지식정보보안)에 대한 유망기술 발굴 실증분석을 실시하였다.
