본 논문에서는 DS-CDMA 신호들의 코드 타이밍을 획득하기 위하여 안테나 어레이의 이용에 관한 내용을 다루고자 한다. 다중 사용자 환경의 시변 Rayleigh 페이딩 채널 하에서 다중의 고정 빔들을 기존의 MUSIC 동기 획득 방법에 적용함으로서 동기 획득 확률들을 평가한다. 전 방위각 영역을 공간 필터링을 위해서 안테나의 수만큼 나누어서 각각의 고정 빔이 각 방위각 구역을 맡도록 한다. 간섭 신호 억제 능력을 가진 고정 빔들은 부가적인 자유도를 제공한다. 그리하여 단 하나의 안테나를 사용하는 기존의 MUSIC 알고리즘보다 더 많은 사용자들의 동기 획득을 위해서 다중 빔 기반의 MUSIC 추정기를 사용할 수 있도록 한다. 이러한 다중 빔 기반의 부분공간 접근 방법을 다중 사용자 시나리오에서 단 하나의 안테나를 사용하는 MUSIC 기법의 성능을 상당히 개선할 수 있음을 검증하기 위해서 시뮬레이션을 수행한다.

The combination of multiple antennas and multi-carrier code division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) is a strong candidate for the downlink of the next generation mobile communications. The study of such systems in scenarios that model real-life trans-missions is an additional step towards an optimized achievement. We consider a realistic MIMO channel with two or four transmit antennas and up to two receive antennas, and channel state information (CSI) mismatches. Depending on the mobile terminal (MT) class, its number of antennas or complexity allowed, different data-rates are proposed with turbo-coding and asymptotic spectral efficiencies from 1 to 4.5 bit/s/Hz, using three algorithms developed within the European IST-MATRICE project. These algorithms can be classified according to the degree of CSI at base-station (BS): i) Transmit space-frequency prefiltering based on constrained zero-forcing algorithm with complete CSI at BS; ii) transmit beamforming based on spatial correlation matrix estimation from partial CSI at BS; iii) orthogonal space-time block coding based on Alamouti scheme without CSI at BS. All presented schemes require a reasonable complexity at MT, and are compatible with a single-antenna receiver. A choice between these algorithms is proposed in order to significantly improve the performance of MC-CDMA and to cover the different environments considered for the next generation cellular systems. For beyond-3G, we propose prefiltering for indoor and pedestrian microcell environments, beamforming for suburban macrocells including high-speed train, and space-time coding for urban conditions with moderate to high speeds.

It is difficult to observe the potential risks of lifting or turn-over operations in the early stages before a real operation. Therefore, many dynamic simulations have been designed to predict the risks and to reduce the possibility of accidents. These simulations, however, have usually been performed for predetermined and fixed scenarios, so they do not reflect the real-time control of an operator that is one of the most important influential factors in an operation; additionally, lifting or turn-over operations should be a collaboration involving more than two operators. Therefore, this study presents an integrated method for a collaborative simulation that allows multiple workers to operate together in the virtual world. The proposed method is composed of four components. The first component is a dynamic analysis that is based on multibody-system dynamics. The second component is VR (virtual reality) for the generation of realistic views for the operators. The third component comprises the control devices and the scenario generator to handle the crane in the virtual environment. Lastly, the fourth component is the HLA (high-level architecture)-based integrated simulation interface for the convenient and efficient exchange of the data through the middleware. To show the applicability of the proposed method, it has been applied to a block turn-over simulation for which one floating crane and two crawler cranes were used, and an offshore module installation for which a DCR (dual-crane rig) was used. In conclusion, the execution of the proposed method of this study is successful regarding the above two applications for which multiple workers were involved.

The classical flexibility difference method detects damage by observing the difference of conventional deflection flexibility matrices between pre- and post-damaged states of a structure. This method is not able to identify multiple damage scenarios, and its criteria to identify damage depend upon the boundary conditions of structures. The key point behind the inability and dependence is revealed in this study. A more feasible flexibility for damage detection, the Angle-between-String-and-Horizon (ASH) flexibility, is proposed. The physical meaning of the new flexibility is given, and synthesis of the new flexibility matrix by modal frequencies and translational mode shapes is formulated. The damage indicators are extracted from the difference of ASH flexibility matrices between the pre- and post-damaged structures. One feature of the ASH flexibility is that the components in the ASH flexibility matrix are associated with elements instead of Nodes or DOFs. Therefore, the damage indicators based on the ASH flexibility are mapped to structural elements directly, and thus they can pinpoint the damaged elements, which is appealing to damage detection for complex structures. In addition, the change in the ASH flexibility caused by damage is not affected by boundary conditions, which simplifies the criteria to identify damage. Moreover, the proposed method can determine relatively the damage severity. Because the proposed damage indicator of an element mainly reflects the deflection change within the element itself, which significantly reduces the influence of the damage in one element on the damage indicators of other damaged elements, the proposed method can identify multiple damage locations. The viability of the proposed approach has been demonstrated by numerical examples and experimental tests on a cantilever beam and a simply supported beam.

This paper provides an evaluation of an optimization-based, multiple-input double-output (MIDO) run-to-run (R2R) control scheme for general semiconductor manufacturing processes. The controller in this research, termed adaptive dual response optimizing controller (ADROC), can serve as a process optimizer as well as a recipe regulator between consecutive runs of wafer fabrication. In evaluation, it is assumed that the equipment model could be appropriately described by a pair of second-order polynomial functions in terms of a set of controllable variables. Of practical relevance is to consider a drifting effect in the equipment model since in common semiconductor practice the process tends to drift due to machine aging and tool wearing. We select a typical application of R2R control to chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) in semiconductor manufacturing in this evaluation, and there are five different CMP process scenarios demonstrated, including mean shift, variance increase, and IMA disturbances. For the controller, ADROC, an on-line estimation technique is implemented in a self-tuning (ST) control manner for the adaptation purpose. Subsequently, an ad hoc global optimization algorithm based on the dual response approach, arising from the response surface methodology (RSM) literature, is used to seek the optimum recipe within the acceptability region for the execution of next run. The main components of ADROC are described and its control performance is assessed. It reveals from the evaluation that ADROC can provide excellent control actions for the MIDO R2R situations even though the process exhibits complicated, nonlinear interaction effects between control variables, and the drifting disturbances.

육상에서는 기지국을 통해 고속의 무선 통신 시스템을 사용하고 없는 반면, 해상의 경우 기지국을 설치하는데 제약이 따르고, 이로 인해 긴 전송거리를 갖는 저속의 MF/HF 대역 모뎀을 주로 사용 하고 있다. 고속 전송을 위해 해상위성통신이 사용되기도 하지만, 비용이 비싸다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 낮은 비용으로 전송속도를 증가시키기 위해서는 Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET)과 같은 기지국이 없는 상황에서 단말간의 통신이 가능한 네트워크의 구성이 필요한데, 해상의 경우 육상과는 다른 환경적인 특징들을 갖기 때문에 본 논문에서는 해상에서의 Ad-hoc 네트워크를 Nautical Ad-hoc Network (NANET) 이라 칭하며 NANET을 위한 시나리오를 설정하고, 시나리오 별 Multiple Access 및 Duplex 방식을 분석한 후, NANET을 구축하기 위한 주요 후속 연구 주제들을 정리하여 해상 무선 통신 연구를 위한 기본적인 Guide Line을 제시한다.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) predicted that recent extreme hydrological events would affect water quality and aggravate various forms of water pollution. To analyze changes in water quality due to future climate change, input data (precipitation, average temperature, relative humidity, average wind speed and sunlight) were established using the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 8.5 climate change scenario suggested by the AR5 and calculated the future runoff for each target period (Reference:1989-2015; I: 2016-2040; II: 2041-2070; and III: 2071-2099) using the semi-distributed land use-based runoff processes (SLURP) model. Meteorological factors that affect water quality (precipitation, temperature and runoff) were inputted into the multiple linear regression analysis (MLRA) and artificial neural network (ANN) models to analyze water quality data, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), suspended solids (SS), total nitrogen (T-N) and total phosphorus (T-P). Future water quality prediction of the Anseongcheon River basin shows that DO at Gongdo station in the river will drop by 35% in autumn by the end of the $21^{st}$ century and that BOD, COD and SS will increase by 36%, 20% and 42%, respectively. Analysis revealed that the oxygen demand at Dongyeongyo station will decrease by 17% in summer and BOD, COD and SS will increase by 30%, 12% and 17%, respectively. This study suggests that there is a need to continuously monitor the water quality of the Anseongcheon River basin for long-term management. A more reliable prediction of future water quality will be achieved if various social scenarios and climate data are taken into consideration.

Early detection of small concrete crack or reinforcement corrosion is necessary for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Global vibration based methods are advantageous over local methods because of simple equipment installation and cost efficiency. Among vibration based techniques, FRF based methods are preferred over modal based methods. In this study, a new coupled method using frequency response function (FRF) and proper orthogonal modes (POM) is proposed by using the dynamic characteristic of a damaged beam. For the numerical simulation, wave finite element (WFE), coupled with traditional finite element (FE) method is used for effectively incorporating the damage related information and faster computation. As reported in literature, hybrid combination of wave function based wave finite element method and shape function based finite element method can addresses the mid frequency modelling difficulty as it utilises the advantages of both the methods. It also reduces the dynamic matrix dimension. The algorithms are implemented on a three-dimensional reinforced concrete beam. Damage is modelled and studied for two scenarios, i.e., crack in concrete and rebar corrosion. Single and multiple damage locations with different damage length are also considered. The proposed methodology is found to be very sensitive to both single- and multiple- damage while being computationally efficient at the same time. It is observed that the detection of damage due to corrosion is more challenging than that of concrete crack. The similarity index obtained from the damage parameters shows that it can be a very effective indicator for appropriately indicating initiation of damage in concrete structure in the form of spread corrosion or invisible crack.

현대 무선통신 시스템은 대규모의 안테나 요소가 장착된 메시브 배열 안테나를 사용하여 다수의 사용자에게 원활한 통신 서비스를 지원하기 위해 빔형성 기술을 활용한다. 신뢰도 높은 빔형성 기술은 안테나로 입사되는 신호에 대한 도래각(Angle-of-Arrival : AOA) 정보가 필수적으로 요구되는데, 일반적으로 도래각 정보는 고분해 성능을 가지는 MUSIC(: Multiple Signal Classification)과 같은 도래각 추정 알고리즘을 통해 추정된다. MUSIC 알고리즘은 우수한 추정성능을 갖지만, 메시브 배열 안테나 사용 시 알고리즘의 급격한 복잡도 증가로 인해 실시간 도래각 추정이 어렵다. 이와 같은 문제점을 개선하기 위해, 본 논문은 안테나 요소 ON/OFF 기능을 가지는 FMCCA(: Flexible Massive Concentric Circular Array) 안테나 기반의 캐스케이드 도래각 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 캐스케이드 AOA 추정 알고리즘은 전체 안테나 요소 중 일부 안테나 요소를 사용하는 CAPON 알고리즘과 전체 안테나 요소를 사용하는 Beamspace MUSIC 알고리즘으로 구성되며, 다양한 시나리오를 가정한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 알고리즘의 도래각 추정 성능을 검증한다.
