Cognitive radio (CR) has been proposed as an effective technology for flexible use of the radio spectrum. The interference between primary users and CR users, however, becomes a critical problem when they are using adjacent frequency channels with different transmission power levels. In this paper, a robust CR orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) architecture, which can effectively suppress interference to nearby primary users and overcome adjacent channel interference (ACI) to the CR user, is proposed. This new approach is characterized by adaptive data repetition for subcarriers under heavy ACI, and adaptive time spreading for subcarriers near the borders of the CR user's spectrum. The data repetition scheme provides extra power gain against the ACI coming from primary users. Time spreading guarantees an acceptable interference level to nearby primary users. By computer simulation, we demonstrate that, under a CR environment, the proposed CR OFDM architecture outperforms conventional OFDM systems in terms of throughput and BER performance.

Due to the temporal and spatial simultaneity and the high-frequency repetition, the data set retrieved from the satellite observation is considered to be the most desirable ones for the study of air-sea interaction. With rapidly developing sensor technology, satellite-retrieved data has experienced improvement in the accuracy and the number of parameters. Nevertheless, since it is still impossible to directly measure the heat fluxes between air and sea, the bulk method is an exclusive way for the evaluation of the heat fluxes at the sea surface. It was noted that the large deviation of air temperature in the winter season by the linear regression despite good correlation coefficients. We propose a new algorithm based on the Fourier series with which the SST and the air temperature. We found that the mean of air temperature is a function of the mean of SST with the monthly gradient of SST inferred from the latitudinal variation of SST and the spectral energy of air temperature is related linearly to that of SST. An algorithm to obtain the air temperature over the sea was completed with a proper analysis on the relation between of air temperature and of SST. This algorithm was examined by buoy data and therefore the air temperature over the sea can be retrieved based on just satellite data.

무선 환경에서는 채널의 대역폭과 휴대장치의 전력이 제한된다. 이러한 환경에서 데이타를 브로드캐스트(Broadcast) 하는 것은 효과적으로 클라이언트(Client)에게 데이타를 제공하기 위한 훌륭한 기법이 된다. 싱글 채널(Single channel)에서 뿐만 아니라 다중 채널(Multi-channel) 환경에서 클라이언트들의 데이타에 대한 접근 패턴에 따라 브로드캐스트 프로그램을 작성하는 기법이 연구되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 물리적으로 독립된 다중 채널 환경에서의 효과적인 브로드캐스트 기법에 대해 소개한다. 기존에 소개된 기법들에서는 데이타의 접근 확률(access probability)을 기초로 주어진 물리지 채널 수만큼 데이타 집합을 분할하게 된다. 이러한 기법들은 높은 접근 확률을 가지는 소수의 데이타의 낮은 접근 확률을 가지는 다수의 데이타로 나누게 된다. 하지만 이러한 기법들은 단순히 채널 수에 따라 데이타의 구분에만 관심이 있기 때문에, 동등한 채널 내에서 생기는 데이타들 간의 접근 확률의 차이가 무시된다. 실제 환경에서는 많은 수의 물리 채널을 확보하기가 어렵고, 상당히 많은 수의 데이타를 브로드캐스트 해야 한다. 따라서 동등한 채널 내에서도 접근 확률을 기초로 브로드캐스트 프로그램을 작성할 수 있다면 기존의 기법에서보다 더 좋은 성능을 낼 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 데이타의 집합을 채널 수에 맞게 분할함과 동시에 채널 내에서 브로드캐스트 되는 횟수를 정함으로써 다중 채널에서 접근확률의 편차가 심한 데이타를 브로드캐스트 해야 하는 상황에서 보다 적합한 방법을 제안한다.

Spaceborne radar interferometry has been widely used to estimate the topography and deformation of the Earth. It is difficult to obtain coherent interferometric SAR pairs especially over coastal areas mainly because of variation of surface conditions. We carried out the experiment using a cross-interferometric pair with a perpendicular baseline of about 1.4 km, a 30 minutes temporal separation and the height sensitivity of about 6 meters. The temporal decorrelation can be reduced by the cross interferometric technique with a 30 minutes temporal separation. Accurate coregistration was performed through resampling of ENVISAT ASAR data to equivalent pixel spacing to the ERS SAR data, because of the differences of the pulse repetition frequency and range sampling rate between the two sensors. Then we estimated range and azimuth offset to a sub-pixel accuracy using image intensity cross correlation. A larger window chip size than a general case was used because it was difficult to distinguish typical features. As range bin increased, the difference of Doppler centroid also increased. It resulted in lower coherence in far range than in near range. Coherences over wetland in near and far range were about 0.8 and 0.5, respectively. The coherence was improved by applying azimuth and range common band filtering, but coherence gap still existed. ERS-ENVISAT cross-interferogram usually lost information in urban area. However, high coherence over a city in this pair was shown, because of less man-made structures than other major cities. Accuracy of the DEM constructed by the ERS-ENVISAT 30-minute pair in a coastal area is to be evaluated.
