In general, WBAN environment which use wearable devices on the human body show the different characteristics from other personal area networks. It is usually composed of sensors contacting the body and user terminal collecting the data from the sensors. The sensors are under the significant constraint of the energy resources, but the user terminal is different because it can be recharged and relatively have large energy resources. Under this characteristics, we design a new MAC protocol considering this requirements. The proposed MAC protocol can increase the energy efficiency of sensors and loads the unavoidable energy consumption to the user terminal for high energy efficiency of sensors. Additionally, the proposed MAC protocol provides the low delivery delay of the emergency information for the differentiated QoS because the emergency data requires more rapid transmission than the periodic sensed data. For this requirement, we employ the IFS (Inter Frame Space). For the efficient and objective evaluation of the proposed MAC protocol, IEEE 802.15.6 MAC is used to compare with it and we show that the advantage of the proposed MAC meet our expectation.

Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (E.C.4.1.1.9) catalyzes the conversion of malonyl-CoA to acetyl-CoA. Although the metabolic role of this enzyme has not been fully defined, it has been reported that its deficiency is associated with mild mental retardation, seizures, hypotonia, cadiomyopathy, developmental delay, vomiting, hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and malonic aciduria. Here, we isolated a cDNA clone for malonyl CoA decarboxylase from a rat brain cDNA library, expressed it in E. coli, and characterized its biochemical properties. The full-length cDNA contained a single open-reading frame that encoded 491 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular weight of 54, 762 Da. Its deduced amino acid sequence revealed a 65.6% identity to that from the goose uropigial gland. The sequence of the first 38 amino acids represents a putative mitochondrial targeting sequence, and the last 3 amino acid sequences (SKL) represent peroxisomal targeting ones. The expression of malonyl CoA decarboxylase was observed over a wide range of tissues as a single transcript of 2.0 kb in size. The recombinant protein that was expressed in E. coli was used to characterize the biochemical properties, which showed a typical Michaelis-Menten substrate saturation pattern. The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ were calculated to be $68\;{\mu}M$ and $42.6\;{\mu}mol/min/mg$, respectively.

Multimedia streaming service is susceptible to loss and delay of data as it requires high bandwidth and real time processing. Therefore QoS cannot be guaranteed due to data loss caused by heavy network traffic and error of wireless channel. To solve these problems, studies about algorithms which improve the quality of multimedia by serving differently according to the priority of packets in multimedia stream. Two algorithms are proposed in this paper. The first algorithm proposed is WMS-1(Wireless Multimedia Scheduling-1) algorithm which acts like IWFQ when any wireless loss is occurred but assigns channels first in case of urgent situation like when the running time of multimedia runs out. The second algorithm proposed is WMS-2(Wireless Multimedia Scheduling-2) algerithm that assigns priority to multimedia flow and schedules flow that has higher priority according to type of frame first. The comparison with other existing scheduling algorithms shows that multimedia service quality of the proposed algorithm is improved and the larger the queue size of base station is, the better total quality of service and fairness were gained.

In the Internet, as computer resource is developed, multimedia data request being increase more and more. It is effective way that process both high capacity-data and real-time data. Overlay Multicast is an effective method for efficient utilization of system resources and network bandwidth without using hardware customization. Overlay Multicast is an effective method for multimedia data service to multi-users. Multicast tree reconstruction is required when a non-leaf host leaves or fails. In this paper, relay-frame interval is selected as revealed network-state with jitter. In our proposal, multi-user service control algorithm gives a delay effect in multimedia request time. The simulation results show that our proposal takes shorter period of time than the other algorithms to reconstruct a similar tree and that it is a more effective way to deal with a lot of nodes that have lost their multi-user nodes.

Noncoherent receivers are favored for block-code-modulated ultrawideband impulse radio (UWB-IR) systems because of their low implementation complexity compared with coherent rake receivers. However, existing noncoherent schemes, such as transmitted reference (TR) systems and averaged differential receivers (ADR), suffer from performance degradation and energy efficiency loss. Codeword matching and signal aggregation (CMSA) is a low complexity noncoherent receiver for UWB-IR. As the frame/symbol duration is shortened to boost data rate, interframe interference (IFI) or intersymbol interference (ISI) occurs and degrades the detection performance of CMSA. In this paper, block coded correlator which consists of the delay components and the reference signal is proposed to improve the performance of the receiver. Simulation results show that the proposed system leads to the better performance compared to the conventional CMSA receiver.

In typical video streaming services such as MPEG encoded video, the transmission data sizes change depending on the frame types and the required bandwidth for QoS support also changes as time passes. Accordingly, in video streaming services using the Internet it could happen that the video services stop occasionally due to instantaneous deficiencies of the required bandwidth under unexpected congestion even if the highest priority is allocated to the service by network administration. In this paper, we investigate several methods for bandwidth allocation and traffic engineering to support MPEG video traffic and propose a new method to reduce the transmission delay and enhance the throughput, there by provisioning the QoS requirements. In the proposed scheme, LSPs are established based on temporal variation patterns of the Internet traffic and the CQ_LLQ policing scheme is applied for traffic shaping at the ingress routers. Finally we verified the performance of the proposed scheme via computer simulations using OPNET.

Turbo processing have been known as methods close to Shannon limit in the aspect of wireless multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communications similarly to wireless single antenna communication. The iterative processing can maximize the mutual effect of coding and interference cancellation, but LDPC coding has not been used for turbo processing because of the inherent decoding process delay. This paper suggests a LDPC coded MIMO system with turbo parallel space-time (Turbo-PAST) processing for high-speed wireless communications and proposes a average soft-output syndrome (ASS) check scheme at low signal to noise ratio (SNR) for the Turbo-PAST system to decide the reliability of decoded frame. Simulation results show that the suggested system outperforms conventional system and the proposed ASS scheme effectively reduces the amount of turbo processing iterations without performance degradation from the point of average number of iterations.

This paper proposes a vision-based food recognition method for automated production of custom cakes. A small camera module mounted on a food art printer recognizes objects' shape and estimates their center points through image processing. Through the perspective transformation, the top-view image is obtained from the original image taken at an oblique position. The line and circular hough transformations are applied to recognize square and circular shapes respectively. In addition, the center of gravity of each figure are accurately detected in units of pixels. The test results show that the shape recognition rate is more than 98.75% under 180 ~ 250 lux of light and the positioning error rate is less than 0.87% under 50 ~ 120 lux. These values sufficiently meet the needs of the corresponding market. In addition, the processing delay is also less than 0.5 seconds per frame, so the proposed algorithm is suitable for commercial purpose.

Recently, as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure(VDI) is widely used not only in office work environments but also in workloads that use high-spec multi-core-based applications, the requirements for real-time and stability of VDI are increasing. Accordingly, the display protocol used for remote access in VDI and performance optimization of virtual machines have also become more important. In this paper, we propose two ways to configure desktop virtualization for multi-core-based application operation. First, we propose a codec configuration of a display protocol with optimal performance in a high load situation due to multi-processing. Second, we propose a virtual CPU scheduling optimization method to reduce scheduling delay in case of CPU contention between virtual machines. As a result of the test, it was confirmed that the H.264 codec of Blast Extreme showed the best and stable frame, and the scheduling performance of the virtual CPU was improved through scheduling optimization.
