The powerful benefits of multi-antenna systems can be obtained by cooperative communications among users in multiple access environments without the need for physical arrays. This paper studies a novel cooperative signaling strategy that achieves high performance and low implementation complexity for synchronous code division multiple access (CDMA) wireless mobile networks. The validity of the proposed strategy under slow flat Rayleigh fading channel plus additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is verified through closed-form error probability expressions and MonteCarlo simulations. A variety of analytical results reveal that the new cooperative strategy significantly outperforms direct transmission subject to the same spectral efficiency and transmit power constraint.

While the value of information technology has long been a hot issue, few solid results have been found as of yet. It is partly due to methodological factors and model underspecifcation. This study empirically develops a ITS(information technology structure) taxonomy and investigates the relationships between ITS taxonomy and business performance in the Korean firms. Among factors that impact business performance, organization structure and control system are selected and they are hypothesized to moderate-the relationships between ITS taxonomy and business performance. By surveying 91 manufacturing firms and applying hierarchical cluster analysis, four ITS are identified : centralized, decentralized, centralized cooperative, decentralized cooperative. ANOVA, correlation analysis and crosstable analysis say the presence of moderating effect of organization structure and control system. Cooperative ITS is best in business performance. Centralized ITS is related to functional organizational form. Decentralized ITS is related to product organizational form with decentralized decision making, Centralized cooperative ITS is related to matrix organizational form. Decentralized cooperative ITS is related to matrix organizational form with high integration. These findings have implications for the opportunities and challenges to match information technology with organization structure and control system.

Complex "lifelike" behaviors are composed of local interactions of individuals under fundamental rules of artificial life. In this paper, fundamental rules for cooperative group behaviors, "flocking" and "arrangement", of multiple autonomous mobile robots are represented by a small number of fuzzy rules. Fuzzy rules in Sugeno type and their related paramenters are automatically generated from clustering input-output data obtained from the algorithms the group behaviors. Simulations demonstrate the fuzzy rules successfully realize group intelligence of mobile robots.

Recently, realization of an intelligent cooperative interaction system between a man and robot systems is required. In this paper, HyperCard with a voice control is used for above system because of its easy handling and excellent human interfaces. Clicking buttons in the HyperCard by a mouse device or a voice command means controlling each joint of a robot system. Robot teaching operation of grasping a bin and pouring liquid in it into a cup is carried out. This robot teaching method using HyperCard provides a foundation for realizing a user friendly cooperative interaction system.

In this paper, we describe a system for controlling the perceptual processes of two cooperative mobile robots that addresses the issue of enhancing perceptual awareness. We define awareness here as knowing the location of other robots in the environment. The proposed system benefits from a formalism called perceptual anchoring. Here, perceptual anchoring enhances the awareness of the system by employing an anchor-based active gaze control strategy or active perceptual anchoring to control the perceptual effort according to what is important at a given time. By anchoring we extend the notion of awareness as knowing what the symbols in the control module represent to by connecting them to the objects or features in the environment. We demonstrate the present system through a simulation of two nonholonomic mobile robots performing a cooperative transportation by carrying a cargo to a target location where there are two other robots moving about. The system is able to efficiently focus the perceptual effort and thus able to safely carry the cargo to the target position.

This paper makes a study of the Shapley value in cooperative fuzzy games, games with fuzzy coalitions, which enable the representation of players' participation degree to each coalition. The Shapley value has so far been introduced only in an class of fuzzy games where a coalition value is not monotone with respect to each player's participation degree. We consider a more natural class of fuzzy games such that a coalition value is monotone with regard to each player's participation degree. The properties of fuzzy games in this class are investigated. Four axioms of Shapley functions are described and a Shapley function of a fuzzy fame in the class is given.

In this paper, we investigate the effect of cooperative and selection relaying schemes on multiuser diversity in downlink cellular systems with fixed relay stations (RSs). Each mobile station (MS) is either directly connected to a base station (BS) and/or connected to a relay station. We first derive closed-form solutions or upper-bound of the ergodic and outage capacities of four different downlink data relaying schemes: A direct scheme, a relay scheme, a selection scheme, and a cooperative scheme. The selection scheme selects the best access link between the BS and an MS. For all schemes, the capacity of the BS-RS link is assumed to be always larger than that of RS-MS link. Half-duplex channel use and repetition based relaying schemes are assumed for relaying operations. We also analyze the system capacity in a multiuser diversity environment in which a maximum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) scheduler is used at a base station. The result shows that the selection scheme outperforms the other three schemes in terms of link ergodic capacity, link outage capacity, and system ergodic capacity. Furthermore, our results show that cooperative and selection diversity techniques limit the performance gain that could have been achieved by the multiuser diversity technique.

소집단협동학습은 학습자가 지식의 습득과정에 적극적으로 참여하는 학습자 중심의 학습방법으로 학업 성취와 함께 상호작용 기술의 습득, 학습의 동기유발, 나아가 창의성을 향상할 수 있는 교수-학습법이다. 정보의 급증과 함께 학습자의 능동적인 참여를 요구하는 현 시점에서 교육현장에서 시행되는 협동학습은 더욱 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 특히 교수매체로서 통신망의 도입은 기존에 교실에서 수행되어온 소집단 협동학습에 새로운 조명을 가져온다. 그러나 통신망이 협동학습을 도와줄 수 있다는 교육적 기대에도 불구하고 이를 수행하기 위한 구체적인 지침 및 전략에 관한 연구는 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소집단 협동학습에 유용한 통신망의 특성을 기반으로 기존의 협동학습 모형을 고찰하였다. 이를 기반으로 교실 수업에서 교수-학습의 도구로서 통신망기반 소집단 협동학습의 실천적인 전략을 제시하였다.

협력 스펙트럼 센싱은 스펙트럼 센싱의 신뢰성 및 정확도를 높이기 위해 다수의 CR 기기들이 정보를 공유하여 면허 사용자를 검출하는 방식이다. 이때, CR 기기의 센싱 결과를 융합하는 방식에 따라 경판정 방식(hard decision method)과 연판정 방식(soft decision method)으로 구별할 수 있다. 본 논문은 면허 사용자와 CR 기기 사이의 거리에 따른 가중치가 적용된 결합 방식(Distance based Weight Combining: DWC)을 사용하여 에너지 검출기반 협력 스펙트럼 센싱을 제안하고, 이에 따른 분석 및 모의 실험 결과를 나타낸다. 면허 사용자의 신호는 OFDM 기반의 시스템을 가정하였으며, 면허 사용자와 CR 기기 사이의 무선 채널은 가우시안(Gaussian) 채널로 모델링하였다. 에너지 검출법을 위한 임계값은 각 채널의 SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio)에 따라 다르게 적용되었으며, 각 채널의 잡음 신호의 평균값으로 가정하였다. DWC를 적용한 협력 스펙트럼 센싱을 수행한 결과, 거리에 따라 다양한 검출 확률을 나타낸 단일 센싱에 비해 비교적 안정된 검출 확률을 나타내는 것으로 알 수 있었으며, 동일 이득 결합을 반영하여 협력 스펙트럼 센싱을 수행한 것보다 우수한 스펙트럼 센싱을 나타내었다.

Cooperative beamforming has previously been proven to be an efficient way to improve the cooperative diversity. This method generally requires all relay nodes to participate in beamforming, which can be seen as "all participate" cooperative beamforming. However, not all relay nodes have constructive impacts on the end-to-end bit error rate (BER) performance. Based on this observation, we propose a new cooperative scheme which only selects those "appropriate" relay nodes to perform cooperative beamforming. Such relay nodes can be simply determined with mean channel gains. Therefore, the selection complexity is significantly reduced as global instantaneous channel state information is not required. This scheme guarantees that energy is only allocated to the "appropriate" relay nodes, and hence provides superior diversity. We also prove that power allocation among source and selected relay nodes is a convex problem, and can be resolved with lower computational complexity. Simulation results demonstrate that our scheme achieves an essential improvement in terms of BER performance for both optimal and limited feedback scenarios, as well as high energy-efficiency for the energy-constrained networks.
