MRAM (Magneto-resistive Random Access Memory)은 자성체의 스핀 방향을 정보원으로 하는 비휘발성 메모리로 magneto-resistance 물질을 정보 저장 소자로 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 MRAM 시뮬레이션시 MTJ (Magnetic Tunneling Junction)의 hysteretic 특성, asteroid 특성, R-V 특성을 HSPICE에서 재현할 수 있는 새로운 macro-model을 제안하고 HSPICE에 적용하여 그 정확도를 검증하였다. 또한 종래의 reference cell 회로에 비하여 정확한 중간 저항 값을 유지하는 새로운 reference cell 회로를 제안하고 이를 본 논문에서 제안한 macro-model을 이용하여 검증하였다.

Recently, there has been growing interests in the magneto-resistive random access memory (MRAM) because of its great potential as a future nonvolatile memory. In this paper, a CMOS macro-model for MRAM cell based on a twin cell structure is proposed. The READ and WRITE operations of the MTJ cell can be emulated by adopting data latch and switch blocks. The behavior of the circuit is confirmed by HSPICE simulations in a 0.35-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process. We expect the macro model can be utilized to develope the core architecture and the peripheral circuitry. It can also be used for the characterization and the direction of the real MTJ cells.

Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) transmission / reception is being studied in Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) for future evolution of the $3^{rd}$ Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) LTE. Support of soft handover is essential for improving the performance of cell edge users. CoMP provides a natural framework for enabling soft handover in the LTE system. This paper evaluates the soft handover gain in LTE-A downlink. Mathematical analysis of signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) gain and the handover margins for soft handover and hard handover are derived. CoMP system model is developed and an inter-cell and intra-cell interference model is derived, taking into account the pathloss, shadowing, cell loading, and traffic activity. Reference signal received power (RSRP) is used to define the triggers and the measurements for soft handover. Our results indicate that parameter choices such as handover margin and the CoMP set size impact CoMP performance gain.

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication underlaying macro-small cell networks, as one of the promising technologies in the era of 5G, is able to improve spectral efficiency and increase system capacity. In this paper, we model the cross- and co-tier D2D communications in two-tier macro-small cell networks. To avoid the complicated interference for cross-tier D2D, we propose a mode selection scheme with a dedicated resource sharing strategy. For co-tier D2D, we formulate a joint optimization problem of power control and resource reuse with the aim of maximizing the overall outage capacity. To solve this non-convex optimization problem, we devise a heuristic algorithm to obtain a suboptimal solution and reduce the computational complexity. System-level simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, which can provide enhanced system performance and guarantee the quality-of-service (QoS) of all devices in two-tier macro-small cell networks. In addition, our study reveals the high potential of introducing cross- and co-tier D2D in small cell networks: i) cross-tier D2D obtains better performance at low and medium small cell densities than co-tier D2D, and ii) co-tier D2D achieves a steady performance improvement with the increase of small cell density.

A heterogeneous cellular network (HCN) is useful to increase the spectral and energy efficiency of wireless networks and to reduce the traffic load from the macro cell. The performance of the secondary user equipment (SUE) is affected by interference from the eNodeB (eNB) in a macro cell. To decrease the interference between the macro cell and the small cell, allocating resources properly is essential to an HCN. This study considers the scenario of a software-defined heterogeneous cellular network and performs the resource allocation process. First, we show the system model of HCN and formulate the optimization problem. The optimization problem is a complex process including power and frequency resource allocation, which imposes an extremely high complexity to the HCN. Therefore, a hierarchical resource allocation scheme is proposed, which including subchannel selection and a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based power allocation algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed hierarchical scheme is effective in improving the system capacity and energy efficiency.

Reinforcement corrosion is the main cause of the durability failure of reinforced concrete (RC) structure. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) numerical model of macro-cell corrosion is established to reveal the corrosion mechanisms of steel reinforcement in RC structure. Modified Direct Iteration Method (MDIM) is employed to solve the system of partial differential equations for reinforcement corrosion. Through the sensitivity analysis of electrochemical parameters, it is found that the average corrosion current density is more sensitive to the change of cathodic Tafel slope and anodic equilibrium potential, compared with the other electrochemical parameters. Furthermore, both the anode-to-cathode (A/C) ratio and the anodic length have significant influences on the average corrosion current density, especially when A/C ratio is less than 0.5 and anodic length is less than 35 mm. More importantly, it is demonstrated that the corrosion rate of semi-circumferential corrosion is much larger than that of circumferential corrosion for the same A/C ratio value. The simulation results can give a unique insight into understanding the detailed electrochemical corrosion processes of steel reinforcement in RC structure for application in service life prediction of RC structures in actual civil engineer.

기존의 이종 셀룰러 망 환경에 허가된 사용자만이 기지국에 접속되는 closed access 정책이 적용되면, 매크로셀 사용자는 주변의 접속이 허용되지 않는 소형셀 기지국으로 인한 cross-tier 간섭 문제를 겪게 된다. 이 문제를 완화하기 위해 해당 소형셀 기지국이 매크로셀 사용자의 채널에 직교하는 빔형성 벡터를 사용하여 자신에게 속한 사용자에게 데이터를 전송하는 기법이 제안되었다. 이 기법을 적용하기 위해서는 매크로셀 기지국, 매크로셀 사용자, 소형셀 기지국 간의 상호 정보교환이 필요하므로 이로 인해 시스템의 복잡도가 증가하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 상호 정보교환 없이 소형셀 기지국이 스스로 환경을 인지하여 co-tier 간섭전력뿐만 아니라 cross-tier 간섭전력을 동시에 줄일 수 있는 인지 빔형성 기법을 제안한다. 구체적으로 소형셀 기지국이 cross-tier 간섭문제를 겪는 사용자를 파악한 후, 해당 사용자의 채널과 주변 소형셀 사용자 채널에 동시에 직교하는 빔형성 벡터를 생성하여 데이터 전송에 사용하여 cross-tier 간섭과 co-tier 간섭을 동시에 줄인다. 제안 기법의 유효성을 검증하기 위해 시스템 레벨 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고, 해당 결과를 통해 제안된 기법이 cross-tier 간섭을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.
