In this paper, we investigate two soft handover algorithms used in the different mobile communication system. These different systems are IS-95 system and 3GPP system. The performances of two different soft handover are compared under similar conditions in terms of propagation, environment and mobility behavior. For performance comparison of soft handover, we model cell environment, radio channel and mobility. With these models the computer simulation are performed and the result of computer simulation are reported.

In this letter, an MMSE based iterative soft decision interference cancellation scheme for massive MIMO systems is proposed. To reduce the complexity, the proposed scheme uses the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury formula to compute the entire MMSE filtering vectors in one iteration by one matrix inverse operation. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme also has a comparable BER to the conventional scheme for massive MIMO systems.

Methods for risk engineering is a bundle of engineering tools including fundamental concepts and approaches of soft computing with application to real issues of risk management. In this talk fundamental concepts and soft computing approaches of risk engineering will be introduced. As the term of risk implies both advantageous and hazardous uncertainty in its origins, a fundamental theory to describe uncertainties is introduced that includes traditional probability and statistical models, fuzzy systems, as well as less popular modal logic. In particular, modal logic capabilities to express various kinds of uncertainties are emphasized and relations with rough sets and evidence theory are described. Another topic is data mining related to problems in risk management. Some risk mining techniques including fuzzy clustering are introduced and a recently developed algorithm is overviewed. A numerical example is shown.

In this study, strength reduction factors are investigated for SDOF systems with period range of 0.1-3.0 s with elastoplastic behavior considering soil structure interaction for 64 different earthquake motions recorded on different site conditions such as rock, stiff soil, soft soil and very soft soil. Soil structure interacting systems are modeled and analyzed with effective period, effective damping and effective ductility values differing from fixed-base case. For inelastic time history analyses, Newmark method for step by step time integration was adapted in an in-house computer program. Results are compared with those calculated for fixed-base case. A new equation is proposed for strength reduction factor of interacting system as a function of structural period of system (T), ductility ratio (${\mu}$) and period lengthening ratio (T/T). It is concluded that soil structure interaction reduces the strength reduction factors for soft soils, therefore, using the fixed-base strength reduction factors for interacting systems lead to non-conservative design forces.

The capability to bilaterally telemanipulate soft-tissues for medical applications could increase the quality of telemanipulation systems. Since most soft-tissue manipulation tasks include constrained motion interacting with an unknown and dynamic bioenvironment through contact, bilateral telemanipulation raises problems due to stability and transparency issues. It is well understood that knowledge of environments plays an important role in pursuing transparent telemanipulation and achieving telepresence, and in particular, online estimation of environmental parameters with an explicit environment model can improve these systems' performance. In this study, a continuum mechanics-based environment model with an online environmental property estimation algorithm and an adaptive telemanipulation control scheme is proposed. The proposed method can improve the telemanipulation performance in terms of stability and transparency and can offer valuable information (e.g., elastic modulus of soft tissues) pertaining to diagnostic examinations.

This paper presents a new circuit topology of high-frequency soft switching commutation boost type PWM chopper-fed DC-DC power converter with a loadside auxiliary passive resonant snubber. In the proposed boost type chopper-fed DC-DC power converter circuit operating under a principle of ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off commutation, the capacitor and inductor in the auxiliary passive resonant circuit works as the lossless resonant snubber. In addition to this, the voltage and current peak stresses of the power semiconductor devices as well as their di/dt or dv/dt dynamic stress can be effectively reduced by the single passive resonant snubber treated here. Moreover, it is proved that chopper-fed DC-DC power converter circuit topology with an auxiliary passive resonant snubber could solve some problems on the conventional boost type hard switching PWM chopper-fed DC-DC power converter. The simulation results of this converter are illustrated and discussed as compared with the experimental ones. The feasible effectiveness of this soft witching DC-DC power converter with a single passive resonant snubber is verified by the 5kW, 20kHz experimental breadboard set up to be built and tested for new energy utilization such as solar photovoltaic generators and fuel sell generators.

In this paper, the Window-Masking Method and HAT (Hardware Attached Top) CPU SoM (System on Module) are used to improve the performance and reduce the weight of the MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc Network) network synchronization system using time division redundancy. We propose converting it into a RISC-V based soft-core MCU and mounting it on an FPGA, a hardware accelerator. It was also verified through experiment. In terms of performance, by applying the proposed technique, the synchronization acquisition range is from -50dBm to +10dBm to -60dBm to +10dBm, the lowest input level for synchronization is increased by 20% from -50dBm to -60dBm, and the detection delay (Latency) is 220ns. Reduced by 43% to 125ns. In terms of weight reduction, computing resources (48%), size (33%), and weight (27%) were reduced by an average of 36% by replacing with soft-core MCU.

In TD-SCDMA systems based on TDD, when mobiles move to cell from cell, Baton Handover was used to maintain an ongoing call. But baton handover has a great demand for the equipment and system. Then both hard handover and baton handover are used alternativly in real systems. But ratio of handover success in real system is 95% which is too low to be used in systems. This paper proposes to employ Soft Handover in TD-SCDMA systems which has performed in WCDMA systems. Also we carry out the simulation, which get result of the BER performance between baton handover method and proposed handover method. The proposed method is forward to be better performance than those of the baton and hard handover.

This paper presents an algorithm for scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems. To simplify the scheduling for soft real-time systems, we introduce two-level deadline scheme. Each job in the system has two deadlines, which we call first-level and second-level deadlines, respectively. The first-level deadline is the same as the deadline in traditional real-time systems. The second-level deadline is later than the first-level deadline, and defines the latest point in time when the result is still acceptable. Partial-credit is given for jobs meeting the second-level deadline but missing the first-level deadline, whereas jobs meeting the latter are given full credit. We heuristically compute priorities of jobs in a dynamic way by combining the first-level adn second-level deadlines with the partial-credit. Simulation results indicate that our two-level scheduling algorithm is a viable approach for dealing with both soft real-time systems and temporary overloaded hard real-time systems.

In real-time control systems, the traditional timing analysis based on worst-case response-time(WCRT) is too conservative for the firm and soft real-time control systems, which permit the maximum utilization factor greater than one. We suggested a probabilistic analysis method possible to apply the firm and soft real-time control systems under considering dependency relationship between tasks. The proposed technique determines the deadline miss probability(DMP) of each task from computing the average response-time distribution under a fixed-priority scheduling policy. The method improves the predictable ability forthe average performance and the temporal behavior of real-time control systems.
