Device-to-device (D2D) communication is a potential solution to the incessant increase in data traffic on cellular networks. The greatest problem is how to control the interference between D2D users and cellular mobile users, and between D2D users themselves. This paper proposes a solution for this issue by putting the full control privilege in cellular network using the software-defined networking (SDN) concept. A software virtual switch called Open vSwitch and several components are integrated into mobile devices for data forwarding and radio resource mapping, whereas the control functions are executed in the cellular network via a SDN controller. This allows the network to assign radio resources for D2D communication directly, thus reducing interference. This solution also brings out many benefits, including resource efficiency, energy saving, topology flexibility, etc. The advantages and disadvantages of this architecture are analyzed by both a mathematical method and a simple implementation. The result shows that implementation of this solution in the next generation of cellular networks is feasible.

In a CDMA system, the capacity is variable and mainly depends on multiple access interference. The multiple access interference has a deep relationship with transmitted or received power The capacity of CDMA2000 1x system is considered to be limited by the forward link capacity Different rate data traffic requires different transmitted power and rate controlling enables the system utilize radio resource more efficiently. A very simple rate control algorithm for data calls in CDMA2000 1x system is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, by monitoring the total transmit power, we can simply adjust data rate to channel conditions and efficiently use radio resources. The proposed algorithm is easy to implement in power controlled CDMA systems.

Patients have the paralysis of their wrists, and can't use of their wrists freely. But their wrists can be recovered by wrist-bending rehabilitation exercise. Professional rehabilitation therapeutists exercise the wrists of patients in hospital. But the wrists of patients have not exercised enough for the rehabilitation, because the therapeutists are much less than patients in number. Therefore, the wrist rehabilitation robot should be developed, and it have to measure the applied force to the patients' wrists for their safety. In this paper, the four-axis force/moment sensor was designed for the wrist rehabilitation robot. As a test results, the interference error of the four-axis force/moment sensor was less than 0.91%. It is thought that the sensor can be used to measure the applied force to the patients' wrists.

This paper combines research in the areas of replacement and machine interference. Although over the past three decades there has been a great deal of research in the area of optimal replacement for stochastically deteriorating equipment and research dealing with machine interference problems : there has been a lack of research when these two areas are combined. However, the melding of these two well-known areas yields a very practical problem which demands theoretical investigation. In this paper we derive the steady state probabilities with a control limit policy for a two-machine one repairman problem. The control policy is a simple age dependent control described by the control limit, $t^{*}$. Once $t^{*}$ is fixed, the steady state probabilites that one, two, and no machines are working will be obtained.

To study the feasibility of applying wireless communication technology to the control of train for the effective control of train and for the reduction of cost and time to construct the necessary infra structure, we investigate into the application of the existing commercial WCDMA network to CBTC (communication-based train control) to grasp the obstacles and propose the solutions to circumvent them. The obstacles can be categorized into the hand-off problem, the interference problem near the stations, and the problem of radio shadow areas. We propose, as solutions, the cell overlap method and multi-terminal approach for the hand-off problem, the cell sectoring method for the interference problem, and establishment of new base stations along the railroad both to provide the wireless train control and communication service to the customers on the train which was otherwise impossible because of the shadowing effect.

In this paper, we first analyze carrier-to-interference ratio performance of the space-frequency block coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (SFBC-OFDM) system in the presence of phase noise (PHN) and residual carrier frequency offset (RCFO). From the analysis, we observe that conventional SFBC-OFDM systems suffer severely in the presence of PHN and RCFO. Therefore, we propose a new inter-carrier interference (ICI) self-cancellation method - namely, ISC - for SFBC-OFDM systems to reduce the ICI caused by PHN and RCFO. Through the simulation results, we show that the proposed scheme compensates the ICI caused by PHN and RCFO in Alamouti SFBC-OFDM systems and has a better performance than conventional schemes.

This paper considers two-tier networks consisting of macrocells and femtocells operating in the same spectrum. This paper proposes a femtocell spectrum reuse scheme that determines the shared spectrum and transmit power for the femtocells to mitigate the effects of cross-tier interference between the macrocells and femtocells. The proposed scheme provides macrocell throughput that is unaffected by the increasing number of femtocells per cell site and improves the femtocell signal quality at the same time by limiting the cross-tier interference. This study analyzed the per-tier signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) and outage probability of the proposed scheme to investigate the macrocell and femtocell performance. The total throughput of the proposed scheme was analyzed based on the outage probabilities. The analysis and numerical results proved that high femtocell throughput can be achieved using only a small fraction of the spectrum while protecting the macrocell throughput. As a result, an improved total throughput was achieved enforcing higher spatial reuse.

A worm screw is widely used in a geared motor unit for motion conversion from rotation to linear. For mass production of a high quality worm, the current rolling process is substituted with the milling process. Since the milling process enables the integration of all operations of worm manufacturing on a CNC(Computer Numerical Control) lathe, productivity can be remarkably improved. In this study, the tooling system for side milling on a CNC lathe to improve machinability is developed. However, the cutting tool-workpiece interference is important factors to be considered for producing high quality worms. For adaptability of various worms machining, the tool-workpiece interference simulation system based on a tool-tip trajectory model is developed. The developed simulation system is verified through several kinds of worms and experimental results.

This paper introduces a refined opportunistic interference alignment (OIA) technique that uses minimum mean square error (MMSE) detection at the receivers in multiple-input multiple-output multi-cell uplink networks. In the OIA scheme under consideration, each user performs the optimal transmit beamforming and power control to minimize the level of interference generated to the other-cell base stations, as in the conventional energy-efficient OIA. The result showed that owing to the enhanced receiver structure, the OIA scheme shows much higher sum-rates than those of the conventional OIA with zero-forcing detection for all signal-to-noise ratio regions.
