인지 라디오 기술에서는 통신 대역의 우선권을 가지고 있는 일차 시스템이 대역을 사용하지 않을 때 이차 시스템이 기회 적으로 대역을 활용하게 함으로써 추가적 주파수 할 당 없이 전체 통신 시스템의 수율을 향상시킨다. 따라서 인지 라디오 기술에서는 일차 시스템의 대역 사용 여부를 판단하는 기술인 대역 센싱이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 인지 라디오 기술을 사용하는 셀룰러 시스템에서 이종 일차 시스템이 공존하는 환경에서의 협력 대역 센싱에 대해서 다루었다. 특히 일차 시스템이 다양한 전송 파워 및 센싱 요구 조건을 가지고 있어서 이차 시스템의 일부 단말들만 일차 시스템의 존재를 인지 할 수 있을 경우를 고려한 다중 스테이지 센싱 기반 협력 센싱 기술을 제안하였다. 또한 기존에 제안된 OR-rule, AND-rule, MAJORITY-rule 기반 협력 센싱 방안들의 성능을 이종 일차 시스템 환경에서 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안 방안이 기존 방안들에 비해 높은 정확도로 일차 시스템 존재 여부를 판단할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we investigate the problem of power allocation in a heterogeneous network that is composed of a pair of cognitive users (CUs) and an infrastructure-based primary network. Since CUs have only limited effective spectrum-sensing ability and primary users (PUs) are not active all the time in all locations and licensed bands, we set up a new multi-area model to characterize the heterogeneous network. A novel combined interference-avoidance policy corresponding to different PU-appearance situations is introduced to protect the primary network from unacceptable disturbance and to increase the spectrum secondary-reuse efficiency. We use dual decomposition to transform the original power allocation problem into a two-layer optimization problem. We propose a low-complexity joint power-optimizing method to maximize the transmission rate between CUs, taking into account both the individual power-transmission constraints and the combined interference power constraint of the PUs. Numerical results show that for various values of the system parameters, the proposed joint optimization method with combined PU protection is significantly better than the opportunistic spectrum access mode and other heuristic approaches.

The problem of optimal channel sensing in heterogeneous cognitive networks is considered to maximize the system throughput performance. The characteristics of an optimal operating sensing point maximizing the overall system rate are investigated under several rate criteria including the sum rate, the minimum of the primary and secondary rates, and the secondary rate with a guaranteed primary rate. Under the sum rate criterion, it is shown that the loss by imperfect sensing is no greater than half of the sum rate achieved by the perfect time sharing approach in a two user case if the sensing point is optimally designed.

In this paper, we considered heterogeneous spectrum sharing system where the number of subcarriers of the primary user (PU) was twice as much as that of the secondary user (SU). In this case, due to non-orthogonality and inter-carrier interference (ICI) from SU to PU, it is difficult to satisfy the interference constraint of PU. In order to mitigate ICI and satisfy the interference constraint, we proposed a new transmission scheme of the SU with power allocation scheme. The proposed scheme will only generate subcarrier-by-subcarrier interference. Therefore, it can easily satisfy the interference constraint of the PR and enhance the capacity of the SU. In addition, we derived the ergodic capacity of the SU. Based on numerical results, we confirmed that the proposed schemes could guarantee SU with a reliable capacity while satisfying the interference constraint of the PU. In addition, the derived capacity well matched the numerical results.

Recently, the use of mobile devices has increased, and mobile traffic is growing rapidly. In order to deal with such massive traffic, cognitive radio (CR) is applied to efficiently use limited-spectrum resources. However, there can be multiple communication systems trying to access the white space (unused spectrum), and inevitable interference may occur to cause mutual performance degradation. Therefore, understanding the effects of interference in CR-based systems is crucial to meaningful operations of these systems. In this paper, we consider a long-term evolution (LTE) system using additional spectra by accessing the TV white space, where low-power devices (LPDs) are licensed primary users, in addition to TV broadcasting service providers. We model such a heterogeneous system to analyze the co-existence problem and evaluate the interference effects of LPDs on LTE user equipment (UE) throughput. We then present methods to mitigate the interference effects of LPDs by 'de-selecting' some of the UEs to effectively increase the overall sector throughput of the CR-based LTE system.

이기종 컴퓨팅 환경에서 방향성 비순환 그래프(directed acyclic graph DAG)의 효율적인 스케줄링은 시스템의 성능을 높게 만드는데 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 이기종의 컴퓨팅 환경에서 DAG로 표현되는 프로그램의 최적 스케줄링 방법을 찾는 것은 잘 알려진 '정해진 시간 내에 해결하기 어려운 문제(NP-complete)' 이다. 본 논문은 분산 이기종 컴퓨팅 시스템에서 병렬로 실행 가능한 프로그램을 위한 새로운 리스트 스케줄링 알고리즘인 HRPS(Heterogeneous Rank-Path Scheduling)를 제안하였다. HRPS의 가장 궁극적인 목적은 프로그램의 실행시간을 최소화하는 것이다. 알고리즘의 성능을 위해 DAG 입력 그래프를 이용하여 기존에 제안되어진 CPOP, HCPT, FLB 알고리즘과 스케줄의 길이를 비교한 결과 성능 향상의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

As the technologies for telecommunication have been evolving, more enhanced information services and integrated information systems have been introduced, which can manage a variety of information from the heterogeneous systems. The major obstacle for the integrated information systems is the integrating heterogeneous databases in the systems and the heterogeneity problems can be classified into the structural and data heterogeneities. However, the previous researches have mainly highlighted into the solving structural heterogeneity problems. This paper identifies the data heterogeneity problems for multi-database schema integrations and proposes a new solving method. We analyze the semantics equivalence in data values based on the functional dependency, primary and candidate keys, and present a procedural solution of data heterogeneity in the perspective of the concept of attribute equivalence, integration key and conceptual integration table.

In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), hybrid overlay and underlay sharing transmission mode is an effective technique for improving the efficiency of radio spectrum. Unlike existing works in the literature, where only one secondary user (SU) uses overlay and underlay modes, the different transmission modes should be allocated to different SUs, according to their different quality of services (QoS), to achieve the maximal efficiency of radio spectrum. However, hybrid sharing mode allocation for heterogeneous services is still a challenge in CRNs. In this paper, we propose a new resource allocation method for hybrid sharing transmission mode of overlay and underlay (HySOU), to achieve more potential resources for SUs to access the spectrum without interfering with the primary users. We formulate the HySOU resource allocation as a mixed-integer programming problem to optimize the total system throughput, satisfying heterogeneous QoS. To decrease the algorithm complexity, we divide the problem into two sub-problems: subchannel allocation and power allocation. Cutset is used to achieve the optimal subchannel allocation, and the optimal power allocation is obtained by Lagrangian dual function decomposition and subgradient algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm further improves spectrum utilization with a simultaneous fairness guarantee, and the achieved HySOU diversity gain is a satisfactory improvement.

Asthma in childhood is a heterogeneous disease with different phenotypes and variable clinical manifestations, which depend on the age, gender, genetic background, and environmental influences of the patients. Several longitudinal studies have been conducted to classify the phenotypes of childhood asthma, on the basis of the symptoms, triggers of wheezing illness, or pathophysiological features of the disease. These studies have provided us with important information about the different wheezing phenotypes in young children and about potential mechanisms and risk factors for the development of chronic asthma. The goal of these studies was to provide a better insight into the causes and natural course of childhood asthma. It is well-known that complicated interactions between genes and environmental factors contribute to the development of asthma. Because childhood is a period of rapid growth in both the lungs and the immune system, developmental factors should be considered in the pathogenesis of childhood asthma. The pulmonary system continues to grow and develop until linear growth is completed. Longitudinal studies have reported significant age-related immune development during postnatal early life. These observations suggest that the phenotypes of childhood asthma vary among children and also in an individual child over time. Improved classification of heterogeneous conditions of the disease will help determine novel strategies for primary and secondary prevention and for the development of individualized treatment for childhood asthma.

Multi-server Markovian retrial model with heterogeneous servers is analyzed. Arriving customers constitute the MMAP(Marked Markovian Arrival Process). Distribution of the primary customers among the servers is performed randomly depending on the type of a customer and the number of the server. Customers from the orbit have the exponential service time distribution with a parameter depending on the server only. The choice of the server for a retrial is made randomly as well. Multidimensional continuous time Markov chain describing operation of the model is investigated by means of reducing to asymptotically quasi-toeplitz Markov chaius.
