In this paper, a compact antenna is designed for the UWB lower half-band WVAN Gbps data-rate transceiver. The proposed antenna broadens the bandwidth less than -10 dB by placing the ring stubs and an open stub on the rectangular monopole above the partial ground and creating multiple resonant current paths. The designed antenna goes through the electromagnetic simulation and is fabricated and the implemented antenna has the characteristics of the return loss lower than -10 dB, the antenna gain greater than 5 dBi, and the efficiency over 80 % in the UWB lower half-band ranging from 3.197 GHz to 4.732 GHz. Therefore, it is thought that the proposed antenna is suitable for the size-reduced and excellently performing wireless communication transceiver.

Several equalizers are applied to the DVD-ROM(Digital Versatile Disc-Read Only Memory) system. Because imperfect writing process may cause nonlinear distortion in the reply signal, neural equalizers which have strong nonlinear mapping capability are applied to the system to compensate the nonlinear distortion. Experimental results to verify that the combination of decision-feedback type equalizers and modulation code is formidable are also given. The experimental results shwo that the SNR gain of the neural equalizers over the conventional equalizers becomes much as the nonlinearity in the channel increases. Furthermore, the decision-feedback type equalizers outperform the equalizers which have no decision-feedback in eliminating ISI(Intersymbol Interference) of random data sequence but there is no performance gain of the decision-feedback type equalizers over the equalizers without decision-feedback when these are applied to compensate the ISI of modulation-encoded data sequence.

There were telecommunication noise and malfunctions of the electronic devices occurred over a wide area due to the high harmonic voltage and/or current levels of the Back-to-back converter in the DFIG wind power system even though the magnitude of all harmonics is within the international standards. The triangular carrier signals of the PWM used in the power converter system is related to the telecommunication noise because they are in the range of audible frequencies and amplified by a variety of the standing waves that were excited by harmonic voltage sources in the weak grid system such as a long distance distribution transmission lines. This paper describes the characteristics of the harmonics in the wind turbine-generator, numerical analysis and simulation of the harmonics resonance phenomena in the distribution lines as well as measuring induced voltage of the telecommunication lines in parallel with power lines in order to verify the root cause of the telecommunication noise. These noise problems can occur in a wind turbine power system with a non-linear converter at any time, as well as photovoltaic power system. So, the preliminary review of suitable filter devices and switching frequencies of the PWM have to be required by considering the stability of the controller at the design stage but as part of the measures the effect of the telecommunication cable shields was analyzed by comparing the measured data between multi-conductor with/without shields so as to attenuate the sources of the harmonics voltage induced into the telecommunication lines and to apply the most cost-effective measures in the field.

A rapidly increasing demand of voice and data through mobile telecommunication service and the development of technologies related with the service are sufficiently said to make the service become an indispensible communicating means, not just selective one. However, in the other side of the generalizing of mobile telecommunication service, there is said to be a worsening situation of unbalanced benefits due to the problem of information difference between the non. The more advanced mobile telecommunication service proceeds, the more deepens the problem, and it is generally known that the problem cannot be solved by the ability of free market itself as seen in the wired telecommunication market. Therefore, we need to set up a systematic policy of mobile telecommunication service for solving this problem, and also think over whether to include the service within the range of universal service. In this study, we examine the required factors for including the service within the range of universal service, and analyze the validity of the including in the view point of institutional aspects.

The Korean mobile telecommunication service market is faced with a tremendous competitive period, in which the market is entering into the maturity stage with launching of the 3rd generation service and with introduction of mobile number portability. In general, it is more important to sustain the old customers than to attracting new customers, as the life cycle of an industry is entering the maturity stage in which the growth rate of new customers is decreasing gradually or becoming stagnant. Until now, many researches had tested whether the customer satisfaction and loyalty were the core factors of sustaining customers or not. Also service quality and switching cost were given a remarkable attention for their possibility of exogenous factors, which could exercise effects to customer satisfaction and loyalty. In the same context, mobile telecommunication business has to seek a way to maintain the existing customers instead of promoting new customers. So this study investigates whether the service quality and switching barrier of mobile telecommunication could have effects on the customer satisfaction and loyalty, which are recognized as an efficient means to sustain the current customers. In order to test the hypothesis on the effects of service quality and switching barrier of mobile telecommunication to customer satisfaction and loyalty in Korean telecommunication industry, this study collected the questionnaire response data of students including middle and high school students and undergraduates, who are regarded as the major customers in that mobile telecommunication industry.

This study explored the relationship between users' integrated estimates (motivation, activity, & performance) of telecommunication companies' CSR & service qualities and their preference and intention to subscribe telecommunication services. The data were collected from 637 college students for understanding the relationship among variables in KT and SKT. The result indicates that social benefit motivation, legal/moral activity, and social performance of the integrated CSR estimates affected their preference. The estimate of philanthropic activity, however, was not significantly affected on preference. On intention to take telecommunication services toward KT and SKT, the estimate of social performance was only a significant variable in KT and legal/moral activity and social performance were statistically significant in SKT. Generally, the estimate of service quality was the most affective factor toward telecommunication preference and intention to subscribe its services.

Recent advances in deep neural networks (DNNs) have greatly improved the accuracy and universality of various intelligent applications, at the expense of increasing model size and computational demand. Since the resources of end devices are often too limited to deploy a complete DNN model, offloading DNN inference tasks to cloud servers is a common approach to meet this gap. However, due to the limited bandwidth of WAN and the long distance between end devices and cloud servers, this approach may lead to significant data transmission latency. Therefore, device-edge collaborative inference has emerged as a promising paradigm to accelerate the execution of DNN inference tasks where DNN models are partitioned to be sequentially executed in both end devices and edge servers. Nevertheless, collaborative inference in heterogeneous edge environments with multiple edge servers, end devices and DNN tasks has been overlooked in previous research. To fill this gap, we investigate the optimization problem of collaborative inference in a heterogeneous system and propose a scheme CIS, i.e., collaborative inference scheme, which jointly combines DNN partition, task offloading and scheduling to reduce the average weighted inference latency. CIS decomposes the problem into three parts to achieve the optimal average weighted inference latency. In addition, we build a prototype that implements CIS and conducts extensive experiments to demonstrate the scheme's effectiveness and efficiency. Experiments show that CIS reduces 29% to 71% on the average weighted inference latency compared to the other four existing schemes.

This paper analyzes performance measures of a Bluetooth_based mobile home network system. The home network system consists of terminals with Bluetooth interfaces, access points (AP), a home PC, and a gateway A mobile host in wireless terminals uses Mobile IP for supporting the mobility This paper considers four types of data traffic, which are new connection traffic, handoff traffic, Internet data traffic, and control data traffic and suggests a queueing system model of the home network system, where the AP and the home PC are modeled as M/G/1 with four priority queues and the gateway is modeled as M/G/1 with a single queue The generation rate and service time of individual traffic influence their performance measures. Based ell the suggested model, we propose the elapsed time of data traffic in terms of the number of cells, the number of Home PCs, arrival rates of four types of traffic and the service rates of AP/Home PCs/Gateway To analyze influences on the elapsed time with respect to arrival rate of four types of traffic, some examples are given.

In this paper, a novel method for data hiding into binary images is proposed. Binary image has two tones: black and white. For this reason, it is not easy to hide messages into binary images. PWLC (pair-wise logical computation) is a new method to hide message into binary images. However, it yields images of unacceptable quality and its decoding process is unclear. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, we adopt the run-length method to achieve advanced reversible data hiding. That is, we find a proper region to hide messages to reduce visual degradation. In this paper, we introduce an improved procedure to hide messages into binary images.
