In this paper, we introduce a new approach to the minimum energy routing (MER) for next generation (NG) multihop wireless networks. We remove the widely used assumption of deterministic, distance-based channel model is removed, and analyze the potentials of MER within the context of the realistic channel model, accounting for shadowing and fading. Rather than adopting the conventional unrealistic assumption of perfect power control in a distributed multihop environment, we propose to exploit inherent spatial diversity of mobile terminals (MT) in NG multihop networks and to combat fading using transmit diversity. We propose the cooperation among MTs, whereby couples of MTs cooperate with each other in order to transmit the signal using two MTs as two transmit antennas. We provide the analytical framework for the performance analysis of this scheme in terms of the feasibility and achievable transmit power reduction. Our simulation result indicate that significant gains can be achieved in terms of the reduction of total transmit power and extension of network lifetime. These gains are in the range of 20-100% for the total transmit power, and 25-90% for the network lifetime, depending on the desired error probability. We show that our analytical results provide excellent match with our simulation results. The messaging load generated by our scheme is moderate, and can be further optimized. Our approach opens the way to a new family of channel-aware routing schemes for multihopNG wireless networks in fading channels. It is particularly suitable for delivering multicast/ geocast services in these networks.

본 논문에서는 간단히 한국통신학회의 논문작성법에 대하여 설명하고자 합니다. (스타일-요약본문)협력 다이버시티 기법은 다중경로 페이딩 환경을 효과적으로 극복할 수 있는 통신 기술이다. 이 기술을 에너지 제한된 무선 센서 네트워크에 적용하기 위해서는 무선 센서네트워크에서 가장 중요한 성능요소인 네트워크 수명을 고려한 릴레이 선택과 전력 할당 방법 등이 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 수명을 최대화하기 위해 노드의 잔여전력을 고려한 새로운 다중 릴레이 선택 및 전력 할당 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 제시한 알고리즘은 2단계로 구분 되어 있다. 먼저 각 노드의 채널 상태를 고려하여 릴레이 후보노드를 선택 한 후 각 노드의 잔여전력을 고려하여 전력을 할당함으로써 전체 송신전력을 최소화함과 동시에 네트워크수명을 극대화 하도록 하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 알고리즘은 기본적으로 AF(Amplify and Forward) 릴레이 모델을 바탕으로 하였으며 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 방식이 기존의 방식에 비해 더 높은 네트워크 수명을 가지는 것을 입증할 수 있었다.

This paper identifies technology trends of national research and development (national R&D) by exploiting Korean national R&D patents, ranging from 2007 to 2010. In this paper, co-word analysis (CWA), which is a method to identify the relationship among technology terms by using their co-occurrences, is incorporated into network analysis to visualize the relationships among technology keywords of national R&D patents and calculate network indexes concerning inter-relationship diversity and strength of technology keywords. As a result, this research found that inter-relationship among technology keywords in national R&D are getting increasingly strengthening in an overall sense. In addition, the keyword inter-relationship diversity-strength map proposed in this paper revealed some significant technological keywords of national R&D : core technology keywords including "sensor", "film" and "fuel" and emerging keywords including "biosensor" and "thermoelectric". Because the proposed approach helps identify interdisciplinary trends of technology keywords from a massive volume of national R&D patents in a visual and quantitative way, we expect that the approach can be incorporated as a preliminary into the R&D planning process to assist R&D policy makers to understand technology convergence of national R&D and develop relevant R&D policies.

For autonomous driving without high-definition maps, we present a model capable of generating multiple plausible paths from egocentric images for autonomous vehicles. Our generative model comprises two neural networks: feature extraction network (FEN) and path generation network (PGN). The FEN extracts meaningful features from an egocentric image, whereas the PGN generates multiple paths from the features, given a driving intention and speed. To ensure that the paths generated are plausible and consistent with the intention, we introduce an attentive discriminator and train it with the PGN under a generative adversarial network framework. Furthermore, we devise an interaction model between the positions in the paths and the intentions hidden in the positions and design a novel PGN architecture that reflects the interaction model for improving the accuracy and diversity of the generated paths. Finally, we introduce ETRIDriving, a dataset for autonomous driving, in which the recorded sensor data are labeled with discrete high-level driving actions, and demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of the proposed model on ETRIDriving in terms of accuracy and diversity.

Objective: The main objectives of the present study were to assess the genetic diversity, population structure and to appraise the efficiency of ongoing selective breeding program in the closed nucleus herd of Nellore sheep through pedigree analysis. Methods: Information utilized in the study was collected from the pedigree records of Livestock Research Station, Palamaner during the period from 1989 to 2016. Genealogical parameters like generation interval, pedigree completeness, inbreeding level, average relatedness among the animals and genetic conservation index were estimated based on gene origin probabilities. Lambs born during 2012 and 2016 were considered as reference population. Two animal models either with the use of F_i or ΔF_i as linear co-variables were evaluated to know the effects of inbreeding on the growth traits of Nellore sheep. Results: Average generation interval and realized effective population size for the reference cohort were estimated as 3.38±0.10 and 91.56±1.58, respectively and the average inbreeding coefficient for reference population was 3.32%. Similarly, the effective number of founders, ancestors and founder genome equivalent of the reference population were observed as 47, 37, and 22.48, respectively. Fifty per cent of the genetic variability was explained by 14 influential ancestors in the reference cohort. The ratio f_e/f_a obtained in the study was 1.21, which is an indicator of bottlenecks in the population. The number of equivalent generations obtained in the study was 4.23 and this estimate suggested the fair depth of the pedigree. Conclusion: Study suggested that the population had decent levels of genetic diversity and a non-significant influence of inbreeding coefficient on growth traits of Nellore lambs. However, small portion of genetic diversity was lost due to a disproportionate contribution of founders and bottlenecks. Hence, breeding strategies which improve the genetic gain, widens the selection process and with optimum levels of inbreeding are recommended for the herd.

멀티홉 네트워크에서 TPSN, RBS, FTSP와 같은 기존의 시간 동기화(TS : Tims Synchronization) 방법들은 네트워크의 홉수가 증가 할 경우 TS 오류 또한 증가하게 된다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이는 멀티홉 네트워크를 통해 구현되는 passive multistatic 레이더 시스템 및 무선 센서 네트워크 노드들 간의 시간 동기화 오류를 증가시켜 시스템 정확도를 저하시키는 중요한 원인이 된다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 동시 협동 전송(CCT : Concurrent Cooperative Transmission)과 반협동 스펙트럼 융합 전송(SCSF : Semi-Cooperative Spectrum Fusion)의 두 종류의 CT (Cooperative Transmission)을 이용한 시간 동기화 방법을 제안하고자 한다. CT를 이용하면 시간 정보가 전달되는 데에 필요한 홉수를 줄여 결과적으로 TS 오류를 줄일 수 있다는 장점을 가지게 된다. CCT는 협동하고 있는 노드들이 디지털하게 인코딩된 동일한 메시지를 각각의 직교한(orthogonal) 채널을 통해서 동시에 전송하면, 수신노드는 이를 수신하여 통합하여 디코딩함으로써 diversity gain을 얻는 전송방식이다. 반면 SCSF는 각각의 노드들이 상관성 있는 아날로그 데이터를 스펙트럼에 실어 동시에 전송하는 방식이다. 이 논문에서는 이 두 가지의 전송방식을 융합한 아날로그 및 디지털 협동 전송 시간 동기화 프로토콜, 즉 CANDI 프로토콜을 제안하고, 이 프로토콜이 멀티홉 네트워크에서 기존의 시간 동기화 방식인 TPSN과 비교하여 상당히 큰 격차로 시간 오류를 줄이는 것을 시뮬레이션을 통해서 증명하고자 한다.

Roof greening in a city can contributes to not only providing network opportunities for dispersed greenspace patches but also bringing more greenspaces into a city. In addition, it can help to flooding and microclimate control in the city. Recently, a number of roof greening projects have been introduced, mainly to public buildings and schools. Roof peening need to offers both ecological functions and convenience and satisfaction for urban residents. This study aims to provide directions for improving ecological benefits and visual preference of roof greening. Twelve scene slides were adopted to measure people's visual preference. The survey results show that landscape images can be categorized into naturalness, visual diversity, uniqueness, and spatial flexibility. Physical scenes can be classified into type I mostly greened by plants, type II mixed between convenience facilities and plants, and type III constructed with pond. People show high preferences to type I and type II when visual diversity is high. The results of this study suggest to enhance the visual preference by considering visual diversity when applying the ecological design methods to improve naturalness for roof greening.

We propose new routing scheme, Cooperative Diversity-based Routing (CDR)which utilize the cooperative space diversity for power saving and for performance enhancement of wireless ad-hoc networks. The end-to-end performance of the proposed routing, CDR, is analyzed based on the Haenggi's link model. The improved performance is compared with Multi-hop Relay Routing (MRR) by analytical methods. When the required outage probability is $1{\times}10^{-3}$ at the destination node in ad-hoc networks with 7 nodes, we noticed that each node can save power consumption by 21.5 dB in average, by using our proposed CDR compared to MRR.
