Spectrum sensing is an integral part of cognitive radio, which seeks to address the perceived spectrum scarcity that is caused by inefficient utilization of the available spectrum. In this paper, a spectrum sensing system using energy detection for analog TV and FM broadcast transmitters as well as modified Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting Terrestrial (ISDB-T) signals is implemented on a software-defined radio platform using GNU' Not Unix (GNU) radio and the N200 Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP). Real-time implementation and experimental tests were conducted in Metro Cebu, a highly urbanized area in the southern part of the Philippines. Extensive tests and measurements were necessary to determine spectrum availability, particularly in the TV band. This is in support of the Philippine government' efforts to provide internet connectivity to rural areas. Experimental results have so far met IEEE 802.22 requirements for energy detection spectrum sensing. The designed system detected signals at -114 dBm within a sensing time of 100 ms. Furthermore, the required $P_d({\geq}90)$ and $P_{fa}({\leq}10)$ of the standard were also achieved with different thresholds for various signal sources representing primary users.

The implementation of a low phase noise voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is important for the signal integrity of wireless communication terminal. A low phase noise wideband VCO for a wireless local area network (WLAN) application is presented in this paper. A 6-bit coarse tune capacitor bank (capbank) and a fine tune varactor are used in the VCO to cover the target band. The simulated oscillation frequency tuning range is from 8.6 to 11.6 GHz. The proposed VCO is desgned using 65 nm CMOS technology with a high quality (Q) factor bondwire inductor. The VCO is biased with 1.8 V VDD and shows 9.7 mA current consumption. The VCO exhibits a phase noise of -122.77 and -111.14 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from 8.6 and 11.6 GHz carrier frequency, respectively. The calculated figure of merit(FOM) is -189 dBC/Hz at 1 MHz offset from 8.6 GHz carrier. The simulated results show that the proposed VCO performance satisfies the required specification of WLAN standard.

Body balance necessary for ordinary daily activities can be undermined by diverse causes. In this study, as a way to control such a problem, we have produced smart insole as a wearable device in the form of insole and developed analysis software evaluating body balance, which measures ground reaction force applied to each area of sole and Center of Pressure (COP). The software visualized changes in COP positions while a user was moving and average COP positions, and it is also capable of measuring the COP values in the Anterior-Posterior (AP) and Medial-Lateral (ML) areas of feet. Through gait analysis, it can analyze the time of walking, strides, speed, COP trajectory while walking, etc. In addition, we have developed training contents for body balance improvement designed in consideration of Y-Balance Test and Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test. They were established in virtual reality similar to daily living environment so that people can expect more effective training results regardless of places.

This paper proposes to increase the efficiency of energy in nodes, which rapidly drops during the transmission of the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH), through the use of dual-hop layered application in the sensor field. Along with introducing the dual-hop method in the data transmission, the proposed single-hop method for short-range transmission and multi-hop transmission method between the cluster heads for remote transmission were also introduced. Additionally, by introducing a partial multi-hop method in the data transmission, a single-hop method for short range transmission method between the cluster heads for remote transmission was used. In the proposed DL-LEACH, the energy consumption of the cluster head for remote transmission reduced, as well as increased the energy efficiency of the sensor node by reducing the transmission distance and simplifying the transmission route for short-range transmission. As compared the general LEACH, it was adapted to a wider sensor field.

Network Coding (NC) is a new paradigm for network communication. In network coding, intermediate nodes create new packets by algebraically combining ingress packets and send it to its neighbor node by broadcast manner. NC has rapidly emerged as a major research area in information theory due to its wide applicability to communication through real networks. Network coding is expected to improve throughput and channel efficiency in the wireless multi-hop network. Many researches have been carried out to employ network coding to wireless ad-hoc network. In this paper, we proposed a dynamic queue management to improve coding opportunistic to enhance efficiency of NC. In our design, intermediate nodes are buffering incoming packets to encode queue. We expect that the proposed algorithm shall improve encoding rate of network coded packet and also reduce end to end latency. From the simulation, the proposed algorithm achieved better performance in terms of coding gain and packet delivery rate than static queue management scheme.

이 논문에서 지상파 DMB (T-DMB)의 데이터 서비스를 이용한 새로운 assisted GPS (A-GPS) 시스템을 제안한다. GPS 위성에서 전달되는 약한 신호와 신호 차단 때문에 델리매틱 단말기는 도심 환경에서 위치 결정에 어려움을 가지고 있다. 제안된 A-GPS 시스템은 GPS 위성으로부터 수신된 신호로부터 가상 거리를 계산하고 T-DMB 방송국으로부터 위성 정보 (ephemeris)를 수신하여 단말기의 위치를 결정하게 된다. GPS 시스템과 비교하여 제안된 시스템은 빠른 TTFF (time to first fix), 낮은 HDOP (horizontal dilution of position) 등의 향상된 성능을 보여준다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 시스템은 A-GPS 시스템으로서 구현 가능하고 강력한 방법이라는 사실을 확인할 수 있다.

Thanks to the great possibilities of providing different types of telecommunication traffic to a large geographical area, satellite networks are expected to be an essential component of the next-generation internet. As a result, issues concerning the designing and testing of efficient connection-admission-control (CAC) strategies in order to increase the quality of service (QoS) for multimedia traffic sources, are attractive and at the cutting edge of research. This paper investigates the potential strengths of a generic digital-video-broadcasting return-channel-via-satellite (DVB-RCS) system architecture, proposing a new CAC algorithm with the aim of efficiently managing real-time multimedia video sources, both with constant and high variable data rate transmission; moreover, the proposed admission strategy is compared with a well-known iterative CAC mainly designed for the managing of real-time bursty traffic sources in order to demonstrate that the new algorithm is also well suited for those traffic sources. Performance analysis shows that, both algorithms guarantee the agreed QoS to real-time bursty connections that are more sensitive to delay jitter; however, our proposed algorithm can also manage interactive real-time multimedia traffic sources in high load and mixed traffic conditions.

방송 통신융합 현상이 나타남에 따라 인증기준이 제정되지 않은 상황에서 제조자가 제품에 대한 출시 승인을 요청하는 상황이 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이러한 상황에 대처할 수 있는 행정처분절차는 부재한 상황이다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 잠정인종제도(잠정행정처분제도), SDoC와 기술기준의 민간화제도 등을 해결책으로 제시하였다. SDoC와 기술기준 민간화제도의 도입은 원천적으로 기술기준이 존재하지 않는 제품의 등장을 최소화시킬 수 있으며, 잠정인증제도는 기술기준이 부재한 경우에 행정적 해결책을 제시할 수 있을 것이다.
