Green communication is a new paradigm of designing the communication system which considers not only the processing performance but also the energy efficiency. Power control management is one of the approaches in green communication to reduce the power consumption in distributed communication system. In this paper, we propose improved power control schemes for mobile satellite systems with ancillary terrestrial components (ATCs). In order to increase system capacity and reduce the transmitting power of the user's equipment, we propose an efficient channel estimation method consisting of a modified open-loop power control (OLPC) and closed-loop power control (CLPC). The OLPC works well if the forward and reverse links are perfectly correlated. The CLPC is sensitive to round-trip delay and, therefore, it is not effective in a mobile satellite system. In order to solve the above problem, we added monitoring equipment to both the OLPC and CLPC to use information about transmitting power that has not yet been received by the receiver over the satellite/ATC channel. Moreover, we adapted an efficient pilot diversity of both OLPC and CLPC in order to get a better signal to interference plus noise ratio estimation of the received signal.

This case study aims to explore how RDA PLA model affects the agri-SMEs' empowerment. As an agri-business management renovation program from main workshop it was conducted on March to December 2011 with agri-SMEs and extension officials nationwide by RDA. Especially, as a packaged action learning process in the model used participatory action research. This study collected data with participants observation, interviews, situational analysis and systematic review of discourse in qualitative method. For the validity and identifying empirical results, this study used statistic analysis as a mixed method. Further including various pedagogic methods and business coaching skills, this model was conducted from workshop in RDA, in turn, on-farm business coaching as follow-up, CoPs' activities, and local ATCs extension services by each actors. The dynamic process and effects of each process led some change for farmers' innovative knowledge, skills, attitude, practice and aspiration on their farm business. RDA PLA model development based on the previous practices and research, which provided a configurated picture in the holistic action learning process. In statistic research, this study focused on 279 farmers as respondents who had participated in the program. It shows that their income and benefits increased from their renovative practices on farm business. Following the sampling group, it was surveyed by four indicators - products, customer, quality and cost. The level of contribution of education on economic impact 15% is quoted from previous paper. Even in some limitations of public sector, RDA PLA model actively suggests the paradigm shift of agricultural HRD and development of alternative extension-service system.

The profile shops in shipyards produce section steels required for block production of ships. Due to the limitations of shipyard's production capacity, a considerable amount of work is already outsourced. In addition, the need to improve the productivity of the profile shops is growing because the production volume is expected to increase due to the recent boom in the shipbuilding industry. In this study, a scheduling optimization was conducted for a parallel welding line of the profile process, with the aim of minimizing tardiness and the number of set-up changes as objective functions to achieve productivity improvements. In particular, this study applied a dynamic scheduling method to determine the job sequence considering variability of processing time. A Markov decision process model was proposed for the job sequence problem, considering the trade-off relationship between two objective functions. Deep reinforcement learning was also used to learn the optimal scheduling policy. The developed algorithm was evaluated by comparing its performance with priority rules (SSPT, ATCS, MDD, COVERT rule) in test scenarios constructed by the sampling data. As a result, the proposed scheduling algorithms outperformed than the priority rules in terms of set-up ratio, tardiness, and makespan.

실시간 신호제어군의 결합 및 분리를 통한 실시간 연동신호교차로군 조절은 최근에 강조되고 있는 첨단교통신호제어시스템의 기능 중 하나이다. 필요에 따라 연동축 및 연동방향을 능동적으로 조절하는 과정에서 신호제어군의 실시간 분리 결합 상황이 발생하며, 이때 필수적으로 옵셋을 재조정을 위한 '옵셋전이시간'이 소요된다. 이 때 '옵셋전이시간'이 필요이상 긴 경우 비효율적인 신호운영변수가 장시간 적용됨으로 인하여, 필요이상 짧은 경우 갑작스런 신호시간 변화에 따른 교통흐름 장애 (turbulence)로 인하여 해당 구간 신호제어 운영 효율성이 저하될 수 있다. 현재의 국내 실시간 신호제어시스템은 3주기에서 5주기에 걸쳐 '옵셋전이시간'을 적용할 것을 개략적으로 권고하고 있으나 해당분야에서의 공학적 연구가 미비하다. 본 연구에서는 네 가지 다른 옵셋전이시간(한 주기길이, 두 주기길이, 세 주기길이, 네 주기길이)를 활용하는 네 가지 다른 옵셋전이방법의 성능을 CORSIM 모의실험 환경에서 CORSIM RTE 기능을 이용하여 분석하고 비교하였다. 설정된 총 15가지 상이한 교통소통 상황을 토대로 다양한 무작위난수를 적용하는 모의실험을 수행하며 수집된 평균 차량지체자료를 통계 분석한 결과 한 주기 길이 옵셋전이시간이 본 연구에서 설정된 모든 교통상황에서 기타 옵셋전이시간보다 우수하거나(낮은 지체도) 적어도 동일한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구는 한 주기 '옵셋전이길이' 적용을 옵셋전이 적용지침으로 사용할 것을 제안한다.
