Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the most widely used protocol in the cloud data centers today. However, cloud data centers using TCP experience many issues as TCP was designed based on the assumption that it would primarily be used in Wide Area Networks (WANs). One of the major issues with TCP in the cloud data centers is the Incast issue. This issue arises because of the many-to-one communication pattern that commonly exists in the modern cloud data centers. In many-to-one communication pattern, multiple senders simultaneously send data to a single receiver. This causes packet loss at the switch buffer which results in TCP throughput collapse that leads to high Flow Completion Time (FCT). Recently, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has been used by many researchers to mitigate the Incast issue. In this paper, a detailed survey of various SDN based solutions to the Incast issue is carried out. In this survey, various SDN based solutions are classified into four categories i.e. TCP Receive Window based solutions, Tuning TCP Parameters based solutions, Quick Recovery based solutions and Application Layer based solutions. All the solutions are critically evaluated in terms of their principles, advantages, and shortcomings. Another important feature of this survey is to compare various SDN based solutions with respect to different performance metrics e.g. maximum number of concurrent senders supported, calculation of delay at the controller etc. These performance metrics are important for deployment of any SDN based solution in modern cloud data centers. In addition, future research directions are also discussed in this survey that can be explored to design and develop better SDN based solutions to the Incast issue.

선박 통신에 있어서 선박자동식별시스템(automatic identification system)은 연안 해역의 선박 운항 모니터링, 선박 간의 항해 안전을 위한 정보 교환뿐만 아니라 해상관제 수단에도 필요하다. 그러나 이는 대략 160 MHz의 very high frequency (VHF) 대역을 사용함과 동시에 지구의 곡률로 인해 통신 거리의 한계가 존재한다. 이를 인공위성을 통해 해결하고 있지만, 저궤도의 초소형 위성에 대해서는 아직 많은 작업이 이루어지지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 소프트웨어 정의 라디오(SDR)를 활용하여 초소형위성용 선박정보수집장치의 수신시험을 증명하였다. R820T2 SDR을 활용하여 부산항에 정박해 있는 선박으로부터 AIS(automatic identification system) 데이터를 수집하였고, Adalm-Pluto와 매트랩 시뮬링크를 활용하여 이를 송신할 수 있는 환경을 구축하였다. 또한 감쇠기를 활용하여 위성까지 신호세기가 약해지는 과정을 모사하였다. 일련의 과정을 통해 AIS 탑재체에서 AIS 데이터의 수신 성공 여부를 시연하였다.

본 논문에서는 단일 수신기가 사용되는 환경에서 정확한 거리 추정을 위해 심층 인공신경망 (Deep Neural Network, DNN)을 활용한 Smoothed Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) 기반 거리 추정 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 거리 추정 정확도 향상을 위해 Data Splitting, 결측치 대치, Smoothing 단계로 구성된 전처리 과정을 수행하여 Smoothed RSSI 값을 도출한다. 도출된 다수의 Smoothed RSSI 값은 Multi-Input Single-Output(MISO) DNN 모델의 Input Data로 사용되며 Input Layer와 Hidden Layer를 통과하여 최종적으로 Output Layer에서 추정 거리로 반환된다. 제안 기법의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 제안 기법과 선형회귀 기반 거리 추정 기법의 성능을 비교하였다. 실험 결과, 제안 기법이 선형회귀 기반 거리 추정 기법 대비 29.09% 더 높은 거리 추정 정확도를 보였다.

In the fifth generation (5G) and beyond 5G (B5G) mobile communication, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has attracted great attention due to higher spectral efficiency and massive connectivity. We investigate the impacts of the channel estimation errors on the bit-error rate (BER) of NOMA, especially with the single-user decoding (SUD) receiver, which does not perform successive interference cancellation (SIC), in contrast to the conventional SIC NOMA scheme. First, an analytical expression of the BER for SUD NOMA with channel estimation errors is derived. Then, it is demonstrated that the BER performance degrades severely up to the power allocation less than about 20%. Additionally, we show that for the fixed power allocation of 10% in such power allocation range, the signal-to-noise (SNR) loss owing to channel estimation errors is about 5 dB. As a consequence, the channel estimation error should be considered for the design of the SUD NOMA scheme.

This paper presents a Monte-Carlo based method to obtain a probability of interference among systems. We show an efficient algorithm to calculate not only in-band interference for a given emission mask, but out-of-band interference, which depends on the blocking performance of a victim receiver filter. Applying the proposed method to an arbitrary system, we show the simulation results by Matlab and compare them with those by a SEAMCAT software

As a clean fuel, LNG or LPG is widely used in large restaurants or plants instead of coal. These fuels are easy to use and cheap. However, they are inflammable very much and easily exploded at the worst. So there are many laws and regulations legislated for the handling and usage of the gas facilities. Nevertheless, very harsh explosions occurred in several domestic or foreign places. In this paper a gas detection and alarm system was developed for large facilities. A new concept for connecting many gas detectors was proposed and based upon that a system including hardware and software have been developed and tested. Although up to 16 gas detectors apart 1 km from main controller can be connected currently, this system can be easily expanded for more detectors because each gas detector receiver communicates with main controller using industrial standard RS-485 multi drop technique. Furthermore several additive functions was included for the installation and maintenance convenience.

Michibiki is the first QZSS satellite, which was launched by a H-IIA rocket departing from the Tanegshima in Japan on 11 September, 2010 and now operated successfully. This paper presents the results obtained from processing of the L1 C/A signal transmitted from the QZSS satellite. The acquisition and tracking are performed by the L1 software receiver implemented by ETRI. The signal processing results show that QZSS L1 C/A signal is normally processed through the tracking loop results of FLL, PLL, and DLL, the EPL correlator output, and the C/No output. Finally, the paper demonstrates that the QZSS satellite could be used in the navigation system together with the GPS satellite in Korea.

해상에서의 선박 항해에 있어서 GPS와 같은 위성항법시스템에 대한 의존도가 매우 높다. 하지만 전파 교란 등과 같은 열악한 환경이 선박 주위에 가해질 경우 선박에 탑재된 GPS 수신기에서 위치를 추정할 수 없기 때문에 정상적인 항해가 어렵게 된다. 본 논문에서는 위와 같은 약한 전파 교란 환경을 가정하여 열악한 환경 내에서 GPS 수신기가 위치 추정 정확도는 열화되더라도 자신의 위치를 처음 파악하는 데 걸리는 시간인 TTFF(Time To First Fix)를 감소시켜 선박의 신속한 위치 계산을 위한 개략 위치 추정 기법을 설계하였다. 또한 열악한 신호 환경을 가정하여 진행된 실험에서 기존 GPS TTFF와의 비교를 통해 설계된 기법을 검증하였다.

Steganography, which is popular as an image processing technology, is the art of using digital images to hide a secret message in such a way that its existence can only be discovered by the sender and the intended receiver. This technique has the advantage of concealing secret information in a cover medium without drawing attention to it, unlike cryptography, which tries to convert data into something messy or meaningless. In this paper, we propose two efficient least significant bit (LSB)-based steganography techniques for designing an image-based steganography system on chip using hardware description language (HDL). The proposed techniques manipulate the LSB plane of the cover image to embed text inside it. The output of these algorithms is a stego-image which has the same quality as that of the original image. We also implement the proposed techniques using the Altera field programmable gate array (FPGA) and Quartus II design software.

In conducting indoor positioning by code division multiple access using spread spectrum ultrasonic waves, it is required to detect signals under the influence of near-far problem occurred by difference on signal power, caused by distance between transmitter and receiver. For discussing robustness to the problem, we verified measuring accuracy on distance from an experiment on a real space with a hardware device where our proposed method is mounted. The proposed method performs automatic signal detection by setting threshold level dynamically. As an experimental result, measurable distance were improved by the proposed method, and measurement errors were up to 50mm in distances from 1000mm to 6000mm; therefore, enough accuracy to realize self-localization or navigation for autonomous mobile robot or human was obtained.
