This paper proposes a time slot allocation scheme for military patrol environments. This proposal comes from analysis of traffic properties in a military patrol environment. In the near future, robots are expected to explore enemy grounds and measure threat, taking the place of human patrol. In order to control such robots, control messages must be extremely accurate. One mistake from the control center could cause a tragedy. Thus, high reliability must be guaranteed. Another goal is to maintain a continual flow of multimedia data sent from patrol robots. That is, QoS (Quality of Service) must be guaranteed. In order to transmit data while fulfilling both attributes, the per-path based centralized TDMA slot allocation scheme is recommended. The control center allocates slots to robots allowing synchronization among robots. Slot allocation collisions can also be avoided. The proposed scheme was verified through the ns-3 simulator. The scheme showed a higher packet delivery ratio than the algorithm in comparison. It also performed with shorter delay time in the downlink traffic transmission scenario than the algorithm in comparison.

Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) transmission is now considered as one of essential techniques enabling high rate data transmissions in wireless communication systems. In addition, severe channel impairments in wireless systems should be compensated by using highly efficient forward error correction (FEC) codes. Turbo codes or low density parity check (LDPC) codes, using iterative decoding with soft decision detection information (SDDI), are the most common examples. The excellent performance of these codes should be conditioned on accurate estimation of SDDI from the MIMO detection process. In this paper, we propose a soft MIMO detection scheme using QR decomposition of channel matrices as an efficient means to provide accurate SDDI to the iterative decoder. The proposed method employed a two sequential soft MIMO detection process in order to reduce computational complexity. Compared to the soft ZF method calculating the direct inverse of the channel matrix, the complexity of the proposed method can be further reduced as the number of antennas is increased, without any performance degradation.

We propose a fast and accurate fluid solver of the Wavier-Stokes equations for the physics-based fluid simulations. Our method utilizes the solution of the Stokes equation as an initial guess for the velocity of the nonlinear term in the Wavier-Stokes equations. By guessing the initial velocity close to the exact solution of the given nonlinear differential equations, we can develop remarkably accurate and stable fluid solver. Our solver is based on the implicit scheme of finite difference methods, that makes it work well for large time steps. Since we employ the ADI method, our solver is also fast and has a uniform computation time. The experimental results show that our solver is excellent for fluids with high Reynolds numbers such as smoke and clouds.

To achieve safe and high-speed navigation of a mobile service robot, velocity of dynamic obstacles should be considered while planning the trajectory of a mobile robot. Trajectory planning schemes without considering the velocity of the dynamic obstacles may collide due to the relative velocities or dynamic constraints. However, the general planning schemes that considers the dynamic obstacle velocities requires long computational times. This paper proposes a velocity control scheme by scaling the time step of trajectory to deal with dynamic obstacle avoidance problem using the RNLVO (Robot Nonlinear Velocity Obstacles). The RNLVO computes the collision conditions on the basis of the NLVO (Nonlinear Velocity Obstacles). The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can deal with collision state in a short period time. Furthermore, the RNLVO computes the collisions using the trajectory of the robot. As a result, accurate prediction of the moving obstacles trajectory does not required.

This paper proposes a skeleton-based hierarchical shape description scheme, called a skeleton tree, for accurate shape-based image retrieval. A skeleton tree represents an object shape as a hierarchical tree where high-level nodes describe parts of coarse trunk regions and low-level nodes describe fine details of boundary regions. Each node refines the shape of its parent node. Most of the noise disturbances are limited to bottom level nodes and the boundary noise is reduced by decreasing weights on the bottom levels. The similarity of two skeleton trees is computed by considering the best match of a skeleton tree to a sub-tree of another skeleton tree. The proposed method uses a hybrid similarity measure by employing both Fourier descriptors and moment invariants in computing the similarity of two skeleton trees. Several experimental results are presented demonstrating the validity of the skeleton tree scheme for the shape description and indexing.

In this study, we suggest a stochastic finite element scheme for the probabilistic analysis of the composite laminated plates, which have been applied to variety of mechanical structures due to their high strength to weight ratios. The applied concept in the formulation is the weighted integral method, which has been shown to give the most accurate results among others. We take into account the elastic modulus and in-plane shear modulus as random. For individual random parameters, independent stochastic field functions are assumed, and the effect of these random parameters on the response are estimated based on the exponentially varying auto- and cross-correlation functions. Based on example analyses, we suggest that composite plates show a less coefficient of variation than plates of isotropic and orthotropic materials. For the validation of the proposed scheme, Monte Carlo analysis is also performed, and the results are compared with each other.

Deadlock recovery-based routing algorithms in wormhole networks have gained attraction due to low hardware complexity and high routing adaptability Progressive deadlock recovery techniques require a few dedicated resources to transmit deadlocked packets rather than killing them. Selection of deadlocked packets is primarily based on time-out value which should be carefully determined considering various traffic patterns or packet length. By its nature, current techniques using time-out accompany unignorable number of false deadlock detections especially in a heavy-loaded network or with long packet size. Moreover, when a deadlock occurs, more than one packet may be marked as deadlocked, which saturate the resources allocated for recovery. This paper proposes more accurate deadlock detection scheme which does not make use of time-out to declare deadlock. The proposed scheme reduces the probability to detect false deadlocks considerably. Furthermore, a single message is selected as deadlocked for each cycle of blocked messages, thereby eliminating recovery overheads.

There have been a lot of researches on providing privacy in MANET (Mobile Ad hoc NETwork) using trapdoor, onion, and anonymous authentication. Privacy protection in MANET can be divided into satisfying ID privacy, location privacy, route privacy, and unlinkability between sessions. Most of the previous works, however, were unsatisfactory with respect to location privacy or route privacy. Moreover, in previous schemes, cryptographic operation cost needed to meet the privacy requirements was relatively high. In this paper, we propose a new efficient anonymous routing protocol that satisfies all the privacy requirements and reduces operation costs. The proposed scheme does not use onion or anonymous authentication techniques in providing privacy. We also provide a more accurate analysis of our scheme's efficiency by considering all the nodes involved in the route establishment.

ICAO adopted the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) at the 39th General Assembly in 2016, and 115 countries, including South Korea, expressed their intention to participate in CORSIA as of January 1, 2023. Since carbon generated in the aviation industry is mainly caused by greenhouse gases emitted from aircraft engines, fuel consumption must be reduced to reduce carbon emissions. Prior research, such as simulation, is essential to predict the effectiveness of each plan and to make decisions about its implementation. High-quality data is needed to derive accurate results, but it has been difficult to secure actual fuel consumption data, as they are considered to be classified airline data. Therefore, in this paper, after establishing a model that estimates fuel consumption based on actual fuel consumption data, the model is to be advanced to improve its accuracy.

Linear compressors with a free piston driven by a linear motor are widely attention in the cooling apparatus such as refrigerator due to the high efficiency The stroke of piston in the linear compressor driven by LPMSM (Linear Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor) can be obtained from Integrating the input voltage and current of LPMSM, but it may be diverged due to dc components in the voltage and current. The strategy to prevent the divergence of stroke using both the high-pass filter and do offset compensation was suggested. The equations for the magnitude and phase of the stroke and also dc offset including the stroke are derived as a function of the cut-off frequency of HPF. The accurate stroke of a piston can be calculated by compensating for dc offset. The performance of the newly developed stroke calculation scheme has been verified by experimentally on a linear compressor drive system, where the control was implemented by a 16-bit DSP.
