Wearable computer systems can use the wireless universal serial bus (WUSB) that refers to USB technology that is merged with WiMedia PHY/MAC technical specifications. In this paper, we focus on an integrated system of the wireless USB over the IEEE 802.15.6 wireless body area networks (WBAN) for wireless wearable computer systems supporting U-health services. And a communication structure that performs the hibernation for low power consumption is proposed for WUSB over IEEE 802.15.6 hierarchical protocol. In the proposed hibernation mechanisms, WUSB communications are permitted at each m-periodic inactive periods of WBAN superframes by using the WBAN information of Wakeup Period and Wakeup Phase message fields. In our performance evaluations, performances according to amount of WUSB traffic and Wakeup Periods are analyzed respectively to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed hibernation structure in WUSB over IEEE 802.15.6.

We investigated the radiation shielding competence for TeO₂-V₂O₅-MoO₃ glasses. The Phy-X software was used to report the radiation shielding parameters for the present glasses. With an increase in TeO₂ and MoO₃ content, the samples' linear attenuation coefficient improves. However, at low energies, this change is more apparent. At low energy, the present samples have an effective atomic number (Z_eff) that is relatively high (in order of 16.17-24.48 at 0.347 MeV). In addition, the findings demonstrated that the density of the samples is a very critical factor in determining the half value layer (HVL). The minimal HVL for each sample can be found at 0.347 MeV and corresponds to 1.776, 1.519, 1.391, 1.210 and 1.167 cm for Te1 to Te5 respectively. However, the highest HVL of these glasses is recorded at 1.33 MeV, which corresponds to 3.773, 3.365, 3.218, 2.925 and 2.908 cm respectively. The tenth value layer results indicate that the thickness of the specimens needs to be increased in order to shield the photons that have a greater energy. Also, the TVL results demonstrated that the sample with the greatest TeO₂ and MoO₃ concentration has a higher capacity to attenuate photons.

The architecture and the implementation details of a UTMI(USB2.0 Transceiver Macrocell Interface) compatible USB2.0 transceiver chip were presented. To confirm the validation of the incoming data in noisy channel environment, a squelch state detector and a current mode Schmitt-trigger circuit were proposed. A current mode output driver to transmit 480Mbps data on the USB cable was designed and an on-die termination(ODT) which is controlled by a replica bias circuit was presented. In the USB system using plesiochronous clocking, to compensate for the frequency difference between a transmitter and a receiver, a synchronizer using clock data recovery circuit and FIFO was designed. The USB cable was modeled as the lossy transmission line model(W model) for circuit simulation by using a network analyzer measurements. The USB2.0 PHY chip was implemented by using 0.25um CMOS process and test results were presented. The core area excluding the IO pads was $0.91{\times}1.82mm^2$. The power consumptions at the supply voltage of 2.5V were 245mW and 150mW for high-speed and full-speed operations, respectively.

Recently, ultra wideband(UWB) is emerging as a solution for the IEEE 802.15.3a(TG3a) standard because of its potential to enable high-speed data transmission with low power consumption. One of the submitted systems as s PHY proposal is M-ary biorthogonal keying direct sequence ultra wideband(M-BOK DS-UWB). In this paper, adaptive multiple antenna transmission scheme for achieving high capacity and reliability in M-BOK DS-UWB is proposed. This proposed system can overcome the limitations of STBC and V-BLAST, such as bit error rate performance and throughput.

This paper presents the circuit design and implementation of a HomePNA (Home Phoneline Network Alliance) 1M8 PHY transceiver for specification ver1.1. This paper describes a physical medium interface, an Ethernet MAC controller unit interface, and a management interface of the HomePNA transceiver. The designed HomePNA transceiver can support any specifications having more than 32Mbits/sec(maximum in HomePNA ver2.0) transmission rate by changing physical medium interface, because Ethernet MAC controller unit interface has been designed by using MII.

In this paper, the performances of a single-user DS-UWB system applying two simple proposed channel estimation schemes are introduced, according to the newly updated DS-UWB PHY Layer standard from IEEE P802.15.3a. The performances of error control coding, different combining schemes in selective Rake receiver for DS-UWB system are analyzed. Both of the two channel estimation schemes using data-independent structure work well in DS-UWB system with few pilot bits. For the purpose of channel estimation and reduces the number of pilot bits, we apply a pilot symbol spreaded with $2{^8}-1\;or\;2{^9}-1$ periods of m-sequence for different channel estimation schemes.

In this work, it is proposed new PD(partial discharge) detection technique using electro-optic effect, for which partial discharges generated from needle-plane electrode in air were detected through optical measuring system by use of $LiNbO3_3$ electro-optic crystal. As a result, it is noticed that PD measurable phase intervals are limited by the asymmetrical D-E hysteresis loop of the crystal with defects and half-wave voltage. However, both number of measured PD pulses and their amplitude were increased with applied voltage, which likely implies that it is possible to detect PD through newly proposed electro-optic method.

최근 차세대 휴대 인터넷 기술로 WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access)가 주목을 받고 있으며 성능 향상을 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. WiMAX의 성능향상을 위해서는 실제 네트워크 환경에서 연구가 수행되어야 하지만 아직 연구 목적으로 사용할 수 있는 소프트웨어가 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 WiMAX 네트워크의 연결을 관리하고, 연결된 WiMAX 네트워크의 환경 및 PHY/MAC 계층의 정보를 모니터링할 수 있는 소프트웨어인 WiMAX CM(Connection Manager)를 개발하였다. 개발된 WiMAX CM은 확장성을 고려하여 핵심 기능이 SDK(Software Development Kit)형태로 설계되었으며 다양한 WiMAX 네트워크 연결을 위해 접속 프로파일을 관리하고, 네트워크 정보를 실시간으로 모니터링하여 사용자에게 제공한다.

현대 사회에서 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크 환경을 제공하기 위해 활발한 활동이 이루어지고 있다. LR-WPAN 기술인 IEEE802.15.4가 표준화 되면서 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크의 중심 기술로 자리 매김하게 되었다. IEEE802.15 표준은 WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network) 즉, 비교적 짧은 거리에서 휴대하여 이동할 수 있는 장치들이 근처의 다른 장치들과 통신이 가능하도록 만든 무선 네트워크 통신 표준이다. 이러한 IEEE802.15 표준들은 PHY와 MAC에 대해서만 표준을 정의 하고 있다. 센서 네트워크에서 가장 중요한 이슈중의 하나는 제한된 자원 즉, 센서 노드에 주어진 에너지를 활용하여 네트워크의 수명을 최대로 연장 하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 NS-2 시뮬레이션을 통해 WPAN에서 노드의 전송거리에 따른 에너지 효율을 분석한다.
