Coordinated multi-point transmission (CoMP) techniques are being touted as enabling technologies for interference mitigation in next generation heterogeneous wireless networks (HetNets). In this paper, we present a comparative performance study of uplink (UL) CoMP algorithms for the 3GPP LTE HetNets. Focusing on a distributed and functionally-split architecture, we consider six distinct UL-CoMP algorithms: 1. Joint reception in the frequency-domain (JRFD) 2. Two-stage equalization (TSEQ) 3. Log-likelihood ratio exchange (LLR-E) 4. Symmetric TSEQ (S-TSEQ) 5. Transport block selection diversity (TBSD) 6. Coordinated scheduling with adaptive interference mitigation (CS-AIM) where JRFD, TSEQ, S-TSEQ, TBSD and CS-AIM are our main contributions in this paper, and quantify their relative performances via the post-processing signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio distributions.We also compare the CoMP-specific front-haul rate requirements for all the schemes considered in this paper. Our results indicate that, with a linear minimum mean-square error receiver, the JRFD and TSEQ have identical performances, whereas S-TSEQ relaxes the front-haul latency requirements while approaching the performance of TSEQ. Furthermore, in a HetNet environment, we find that CS-AIM provides an attractive alternative to TBSD and LLR-E with a significantly reduced CoMP-specific front-haul rate requirement.

본 논문에서는 3GPP LTE 시스템에서 셀 주변부 및 하위 5%의 사용자 전송률을 높이기 위한 새로운 주파수 할당 기법을 제안한다. 단일 안테나 전송 방식(SISO: Single Input Single Output)에서 셀 주변부의 사용자 전송률을 늘리기 위하여 여러 가지 셀간 간섭 관리에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되었으나, 간섭 관리 알고리즘 적용 방식이 실제 구현에 있어 상당히 복잡한 점이 있다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 모든 셀 영역에 동일한 주파수 할당 방식을 적용할 수 있어 운용의 복잡도를 낮추고, 셀 주변부의 사용자 전송량을 늘리도록 한다. 시스템 레벨 시뮬레이션(SLS: System Level Simulation)을 통하여 제안하는 알고리즘의 셀 주변부 및 하위 5% 사용자 전송률을 비교 분석한다.

In this paper, we investigate the scheduling and power allocation for coordinated multi-point transmission in downlink long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) systems, where orthogonal frequency division multiple-access is used. The proposed scheme jointly optimizes user selection, power allocation, and modulation and coding scheme (MCS) selection to maximize the weighted sum throughput with fairness consideration. Considering practical constraints in LTE-A systems, the MCSs for the resource blocks assigned to the same user need to be the same. Since the optimization problem is a combinatorial and non-convex one with high complexity, a low-complexity algorithm is proposed by separating the user selection and power allocation into two subproblems. To further simplify the optimization problem for power allocation, the instantaneous signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and the average SINR are adopted to allocate power in a single cell and multiple coordinated cells, respectively. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can improve the average system throughput and the cell-edge user throughput significantly compared with the existing schemes with limited feedback.

유역에서의 정확한 유출을 계산하기 위해서는 강우-유출현상의 비선형성을 고려해야한다. 그러나 대부분의 강우-유출모형이 선형성을 가정하고 있거나 해석하기가 복잡하여, 비선형성을 고려하면서도 비교적 간단히 계산이 가능한 저류함수법을 유출계산에 이용해오고 있다. 저류함수법은 강수특성과 유역특성에 따라 달라지는 5개의 매개변수를 포함하고 있으며, 주로 유역별로 개발된 회귀식이나 유전자 알고리즘 등 최적화 기법을 이용하여 추정하나, 그 정확한 산정이 어렵다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 인공 신경망과 유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 Metamodel을 이용하여 매개변수 최적화를 시도하였다. 제안된 기법은 두 단계로 나누어지는데, 첫 번째 단계에서는 기존의 강우-유출관계를 인공신경망에 입력하여 일대일대응 관계를 규명한 후, 두 번째 단계에서는 훈련된 인공신경망과 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 강우사상에 대한 저류함수법의 매개변수를 최적화한다. 제안된 모형은 평창강 유역 21개 강우사상에 적용되어 그 적용성을 입증하였다.

Changes in the styles of communities are leading of increases in the number of high-rise apartments and commercial-apartment structures. Tall high-rise structures, while presenting unique economies of scale and cost effectiveness, tend to be highly engineered and complex structures. In the event of a fire, this complexity in design also results in a complexity in the behavior of fire propagation and control. High-rise structures are among the most potentially dangerous due to the high population density in the building, and the inherent limitations on evacuation and on fire control services. One of the most critical points of fire propagation is the movement of fire through the outer wall structures. Controlling such propagation is essential in controlling the spread of the fire throughout the building itself, as well as controlling the potential for its spread to adjacent buildings. In this study, we will be examining the potential for fire control design and effects mitigation using a 1/4.5 scale model. The primary focus of the study will be the effects of extended balconies into the structure of high-rise apartments. The authors will also consider the effectiveness of reduced-scale model tests.

전력선 통신(PLC: Power Line Communication)은 저비용으로 고속 전송이 가능하여 스마트 그리드와 연계하여 다양하게 활용되고 있다. 그러나 전력선 채널은 임펄스 잡음으로 인하여 많은 문제가 있어 이를 해결하기 위하여 다양한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 최근에는 아날로그 신호에 대한 비선형 필터에 적응형 clippling을 사용하는 ACDL(Adaptive Cannonical Differential Limiter)이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 이의 특성을 분석하고 간략화하여 오버샘플링된 디지털신호에 대해 slew rate를 검출하는 방안과 유사함을 보였다. 제안된 방식은 모의 실험으로 PRIME 표준에서 성능을 검증하여 ACDL과 동일 수준 이상의 성능을 가지면서도 훨씬 간단히 구현이 가능한 장점을 확인하였다. BER 성능은 동등하면서도 복잡도는 10%이하로 줄어든다.

Drift angle is a significant index for diagnosing post-event structures. A common way to estimate this drift response is by using modal parameters identified under natural excitations. Although the modal parameters of shear structures cannot be identified accurately in the real environment, the identification error has little impact on the estimation when measurements from several floors are used. However, the estimation accuracy falls dramatically when there is only one accelerometer. This paper describes the susceptibility of single sensor identification to modelling error and simulations that preliminarily verified this characteristic. To make a robust evaluation from measurements of one floor of shear structures based on imprecisely identified parameters, a novel scheme is devised to approximately correct the mode shapes with respect to fictitious frequencies generated with a genetic algorithm; in particular, the scheme uses constrained minimization to take both the mathematical aspect and the realistic aspect of the mode shapes into account. The algorithm was validated by using a full-scale shear building. The differences between single-sensor and multiple-sensor estimations were analyzed. It was found that, as the number of accelerometers decreases, the error rises due to insufficient data and becomes very high when there is only one sensor. Moreover, when measurements for only one floor are available, the proposed method yields more precise and appropriate mode shapes, leading to a better estimation on the drift angle of the lower floors compared with a method designed for multiple sensors. As well, it is shown that the reduction in space complexity is offset by increasing the computation complexity.

본 논문에서는 직교 주파수 분할 다중 접속 방식(Orhogonal Frequency Division Multiple Acccss) 상향 링크에서의 간섭 완화를 위한 측부엽 억제 기법을 제안한다. 제안되는 측부엽 억제 기법은 특정 사용자와 그 외 사용자간의 서로 다른 주파수 오차에 의해 발생한 다중 접속 간섭을 완화시켜준다. 이러한 측부엽 억제 기법의 성능은 평균 신호대 간섭비와 비트 오율에 의해서 평가되었다. 모의 실험 결과에 의해서 제안되는 기법이 기존의 OFDMA 시스템과 비교하여 약 5∼10dB 가량의 신호대 간섭비 이득에 의한 성능을 향상시키는 것을 확인할 수 있으며, 특히 부대역 내의 모든 부반송파의 성능을 일정한 수준으로 유지시켜 준다. 측부엽 억제기를 구현하기 위해서는 사용자별로 할당되는 부대역 크기만큼의 메모리를 가지는 실수 검색 테이블과 부대역 크기만큼의 곱셈/덧셈 연산만이 요구되기 때문에 부가적으로 발생하는 시스템의 복잡도 증가가 거의 없다.

Due to the tendency towards large capacity and complexity of power system, an enhancement of power system equipment make a system impedance to be low in power system. Generally if an equivalent impedance of system becomes lower, a system stability will be better. But the fault current becomes very larger. The 345kV ultra-high voltage system will use current limit reactors(CLR) in a transmission line or a bus in substation to limit the magnitude of fault current. The CLR makes a significant contribution to the severity of the transient recovery voltage(TRV) experienced by feeder and bus circuit breakers on clearing feeder faults. Based on the conclusions of an investigation of actual circuit breaker failures while performing this duty, the mitigation of the transient recovery voltage associated with the reactors is described. Therefore in this article we simulated the TRV by EMTP at Bus Terminal Fault.

While the chirp signal is extensively used in radar and sonar systems for target decision in wireless communication systems, it has not been widely used for positioning in indoor environments. Recently, the IEEE 802.15.4a standard has adopted the chirp spread spectrum (CSS) as an underlying technique for low-power and low-complexity precise localization. Chirp signal based ranging solutions have been established and deployed but their ranging performance has not been analyzed in multipath environments. This paper presents a ranging performance analysis of a chirp signal and suggests a method to suppress multipath error by using a type of non-linear chirp signal. Multipath ranging performance is evaluated using a conventional linear chirp signal and the proposed non-linear chirp signal. We verify the feasibility of both methods using two-ray multipath model simulation. Our results demonstrate that the proposed non-linear chirp signal can successfully suppress the multipath error.
