Currently economical communication technologies are needed for high speed data exchange at sea. Wireless environments at sea require some special communication security solutions as well. In this paper, an augmented WiMAX MMR protocol is proposed as a solution of the broadband data communications and security at sea environments fundamentally with no base station.

For Binary CDMA network, communication can be accomplished only within a Pico-net on the boundary of management by the master station because it manages network resources of each entity. In this research, we try to overcome these limits and extend the application for Binary CDMA system to broad-band network. We suggest a new Binary CDMA router such that network is devised by cell unit and multiple Pico-net and a unique address is assigned to each Pico-cell to relaying data between Pico-cells.

We developed a cement mill control system to improve performances of cement mill and conveyance facilities in view of TPM(Total Productive Maintenance). The system replaces the conventional sequence control relay panel and the mimic panel by the PLC(Programmable Logic Control) and the operation station with a monitor, respectively. In addition, the updated A3A CPU is added to the melsec PLC. All networks of the system are operated through ethernet communications. This system as a domestic product is setup at S company and outperforms other foreign products in views of operation efficiency and process stability.

The Satellite Technology Research Centre (SaTReC), Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has developed and is to launch STSAT-1 (Science and Technology Satellite - 1) on 27$^{th}$ September 2003. The data collection system (DCS) is the one of its payloads. The DCS is a data relay system used for transmission from ground-based sensors through satellite to receiving station. This is one of the important methods collecting global data from the remote locations. In this paper, the DCS on the STSAT-1 will be introduced and the development of the mobile terminal (MT) will be reported.

널리 보급된 컴퓨터와 인터넷 그리고 모바일기기의 발달은 우리사회에 큰 변화를 주었다. 이는 이동성을 제공하면서 휴대 인터넷을 사용할 수 있는 서비스를 절실히 필요로 하게 되었고 그러한 요구에 부응하여 WiBro가 탄생하였다. 본 논문에서는 WiBro의 Downlink(DL)와 Uplink(UL)의 속도를 다양한 환경에서 현재 시판중인 WiBro 모뎀으로 성능을 평가해 보았고, 그 결과 WiBro에서 추구하는 DL:UL의 비율과 비슷하게 나옴을 확인하였다. 하지만 서비스 지역의 건물 내에서 WiBro의 서비스를 원활하게 받지 못하는 문제점을 발견하였고, 그 해결책으로 Fixed RS, Nomadic RS, 그리고 Mobile RS 3가지 방식을 제안하였다. 특히 건물의 경우는 Fixed RS(Relay Station)에서 Broadcast message 방식과 Wake-up 방식을 사용하도록 제안하였다.

In the 3GPP LTE systems, SC-FDMA is adopted for the uplink owing to its good PAPR efficiency. In the frequency domain, however, the performance of SC-FDMA is degraded due to frequency selective fading. As a compromise, a Hybrid OFDMA/SC-FDMA was proposed in the LTE-Advanced systems. Hybrid scheme uses SC-FDMA in the edge of cell area, while it uses OFDMA nearby the base-station. In this paper, uplink relays based on hybrid scheme is proposed to increase the performance of the 3GPP LTE systems. With different positions of mobile and relay, the proposed scheme can adaptively select SC-FDMA or OFDMA to improve the link performance. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves a better performance in terms of end-to-end BER and power consumption.

PEGASIS, a chain-based protocol, forms chains from sensor nodes so that each node transmits and receives from a neighbor. In this way, only one node (known as a HEAD) is selected from that chain to transmit to the sink. Although PEGASIS is able to balance the workload among all of the nodes by selecting the HEAD node in turn, a considerable amount of energy may be wasted when nodes which are far away from sink node act as the HEAD. In this study, DERP (Distance-based Energy-efficient Routing Protocol) is proposed to address this problem. DERP is a chain-based protocol that improves the greedy-algorithm in PEGASIS by taking into account the distance from the HEAD to the sink node. The main idea of DERP is to adopt a pre-HEAD (P-HD) to distribute the energy load evenly among sensor nodes. In addition, to scale DERP to a large network, it can be extended to a multi-hop clustering protocol by selecting a "relay node" according to the distance between the P-HD and SINK. Analysis and simulation studies of DERP show that it consumes up to 80% less energy, and has less of a transmission delay compared to PEGASIS.

The nearest-neighbor multihop routing with/without infrastructure support is known to achieve the optimal capacity scaling in a large packet-erasure network in which multiple wireless nodes and relay stations are regularly placed and packets are erased with a certain probability. In this paper, a throughput scaling law is shown for an infrastructure-supported erasure network where wireless nodes are randomly distributed, which is a more feasible scenario. We use an exponential decay model to suitably model an erasure probability. To achieve high throughput in hybrid random erasure networks, the multihop routing via highway using the percolation theory is proposed and the corresponding throughput scaling is derived. As a main result, the proposed percolation highway based routing scheme achieves the same throughput scaling as the nearest-neighbor multihop case in hybrid regular erasure networks. That is, it is shown that no performance loss occurs even when nodes are randomly distributed.

Delay- and Disruption-Tolerant Network (DTN) has been considered as a key technology to overcome main challenges in interplanetary communications such as an intermittent connectivity and high bit error rates. The lack of end-to-end connectivity between source and destination results in long and variable delays and data loss, hence the Internet Protocols cannot operate properly in such environments because it requires an end-to-end connectivity. The DTN, which utilizes 'store-and-forward' message passing scheme between nodes, can overcome the lack of end-to-end connectivity in Interplanetary Network (IPN). In this paper, DTN is applied to 3-hop relay IPN, where messages are transmitted from Earth ground station to Lunar lander through Earth satellite and Lunar orbiter. ONE simulator is used to reflect the real environment of IPN and an efficient resource management method are analyzed to guarantee the message delivery by optimizing a message TTL (Time to Live), buffer size and message fragmentation.

NOMA (Non-orthogonal multiple access) system is the most promising multiple access technology to satisfy the requirements of the spectral efficiency and the performance of 5G cellular systems. NOMA system simultaneously serves multiple users in the power domain, and adapts SIC (Successive interference cancellation) at the receivers to cancel the interference from multiple users. Since in a realistic wireless fading channel the perfect SIC is impossible, the study of the effect of the imperfect SIC to a NOMA system is necessary. This paper considers a cooperative NOMA system with SIC error, and the performance of the system is analytically derived. And the optimum power allocation to minimize the system performance is obtained. When the transmit power is fixed, the distances between a base station and the relay is considered for different SIC errors. The derived analytical results are verified through Monte Carlo simulation, and the results are perfectly matched.
