In this paper, we analyze the active RFID system ISO/IEC 18000-7. In order to apply to USN, which consists active RFID tags and sensor nodes, we propose UWB-based Class 4 active RFID protocol using active RFID relay tag as relay AP. To compare the performance between the existing ISO/IEC 18000-7 system and the proposed system, we introduce sensitivity-based measurement of achieved coverage and system efficiency. Also, we analyze the performance of the proposed system and compare it with that of the existing system through MCL analysis and SLS analysis.

The growing demand to make wireless data services 5G compatible has necessitated the development of an energy-efficient approach for an effective new wireless environment. In this paper, we first propose a cognitive sensor node (CSN) based game theory for deriving energy via a primary user-transmitted radio frequency signal. Cognitive users' time was segmented into three phases based on a time switching protocol: energy harvest, spectrum sensing and data transmission. The proposed model chooses the optimal energy-harvesting phase as the effected factor. We further propose a distributed energy-harvesting model as a utility function via pricing techniques. The model is a non-cooperative game where players can increase their net benefit in a selfish manner. Here, the price is described as a function pertaining to transmit power, which proves that the proposed energy harvest game includes Nash Equilibrium and is also unique. The best response algorithm is used to achieve the green connection between players. As a result, the results obtained from the proposed model and algorithm show the advantages as well as the effectiveness of the proposed study. Moreover, energy consumption was reduced significantly (12%) compared to the benchmark algorithm because the proposed algorithm succeeded in delivering energy in micro which is much better compared to previous studies. Considering the reduction and improvement in power consumption, we could say the proposed model is suitable for the next wireless environment represented in 5G.

In last several years, a number of volume localization techniques, such as ISIS, VSE, SPARS and STEAM etc., have been developed for the MR spectroscopy. These localizing techniques, however, require application of several RF pulses for the 3-D volume selection and suffer from T1 and T2 decays due to relatively long RF excitation time. In this paper, we propose a single-shot RF pulse localization technique to achieve the localized 3-D volume selection. This technique combines the cylindrical volume selection technique with a radial gradient coil with single-shot RF pulse and the oscillating selection gradient technique, so thai it minimizes the volume selection time. We report some experimental results obtained with the proposed method which appears promising for 3-D volume imaging and localized spectroscopy.

CDMA scheme has received a great deal of attenttion as a multiple-access method for future mobile networks. Its main advantage: are higher radio capacity and the capacity of flexible data tranmission. And CDMA scheme is a key technology in the proposals submitted to the ITU on next generation multimedia system with integrated services, namely real-time voice services and non real-time data services. In this paper, capacity evaluation of multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) Multi-Carrier(MC)/CDMA system is considered to mitigate multiple access interference, partial-band interference and enhance system channel capacity in wireless channel. Recently, to increase the spectrum efficiency and the link reliability, MIMO-MC/CDMA scheme is devised to exploit multi-path in a scattering wireless channel. In particular, the channel capacity of MIMO-MC/CDMA system is evaluated according to Eb/No. Mc, p and B. From the results, in order to inappropriate spacing and the signals are frequency overlapped by partial band interference, the channel capacity of MIMO-MC/CDMA system becomes substantially smaller.

A ultrahigh vacuum chemical vapor deposition(UHVCVD)/metalorganic chemical vapor deposition(MOMBE) system equipped with a radio frequency(RF)-plasma cell was employed to grow GaN layer on the sapphire at a low temperature. The x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of nitrogen composition on the nitridated sapphite surface indicated that a nitridation process is mostly affected by the RF power at low temperature. Atomic force microscope images of nitridated surface the protrusion density on the nitridated sapphire is dependent on the nitridation temperature. The crystallinity of GaN grown at $450^{\circ}C$ was found to be much improved when the sapphire was nitridated at low temperature prior to the GaN layer growth. Moreover, a strong photoluminescence spectrum of GaN grown by UHVCVD/MOMBE with a rf-nitrogen plasma was observed for the first time at room temperature.

Decomposition of carbon dioxide is studied using $Ar/CO_2$ mixture inductively coupled plasmas (ICP). Argon gas was added to generate plasma which has high electron density. To measure decomposition rate of $CO_2$, optical emission actinometry is used. Changing input power, pressure and mixture ratio, the plasma parameters and the spectrum intensity were measured using single Langmuir probe and spectroscope. The source characteristic of Carbon dioxide ICP observed from the obtained plasma parameters. The decomposition rate is evolved depending on the reaction and discharge mode. This result is analyzed with both the measurement of the plasma parameters and the dissociation mechanism of $CO_2$.

CuS (copper sulfide) thin films having the same thickness of 100nm were deposited on the glass substrates using by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method. RF powers were applied as a process variable for the growth of CuS thin films. The structural and optical properties of CuS thin films deposited under different power conditions (40-100W) were studied. XRD analysis revealed that all CuS thin films had hexagonal crystal structure with the preferential growth of (110) planes. As the sputtering power increased, the relative intensity of the peak with respect to the (110) planes decreased. The peaks of the two bands (264cm^-1 and 474cm^-1) indicated in the Raman spectrum exactly matched the typical spectral values of the covellite (CuS). The size and shape of the grains constituting the surface of the CuS thin films deposited under the power condition ranging from 40W to 80W hardly changed. However, the spacing between crystal grains tended to increase in proportion to the increase in sputtering power. The maximum transmittance of CuS thin films grown at 40W to 80W ranged from 50 % to 51 % based on 580nm wavelength, and showed a relatively small decrease of 48% at 100W. The band gap energy of the CuS thin films decreased from 2.62eV (at 40W) to 2.56eV (at 100W) as the sputtering power increased.

In a modern smart building, sensors can detect various physical conditions, such as temperature, humidity, sound, motion, and light, which can be used in medical services and security, and for energy savings. This paper presents an efficient elevator scheduling system that utilizes smart sensor technologies with radio-frequency identification, video, and floor sensors to detect the arrival of elevator users in advance. The detected information is then delivered to the elevator scheduling system via building networks. By using this information, the proposed system makes a reservation call for efficient control of the elevator's direction and time. Experiments under a spectrum of traffic conditions show that the proposed system performs better than a legacy system with respect to average wait time, maximum wait time, and energy consumption.

As satellite communication technology with high efficiency and spatiality evolves, demands of customer for efficient and effective satellite broadcasting services are increasing due to interval reduction of the between satellites, and the limited radio-frequency spectrum resources. Recently, research on antenna that it possible to simultaneously receive multiple signal from various satellites while holding maintain the same number of previous reception channels by using the single reflector has been ongoing. It is necessary to be able to simultaneously receive signals from various satellites in order to maintain the same number of previous reception channels. We suggest a multiband antenna which can be simultaneously and independently receiving Ku band and Ka band satellite broadcasting signals transmitted by three adjacent satellites. We have designed and simulated using commercial design tools TICRA CHAMP and CST MWS to meet the target specifications. It appears that the antenna has -10 dB return loss, and more than 40 dBi directivity gain in Ku band and Ka band respectively.

Underwater wireless communication is a challenging issue for realizing the smart aqua-farm and various marine activities for exploring the ocean and environmental monitoring. In comparison to acoustic and radio frequency technologies, the visible light communication is the most promising method to transmit data with a higher speed in complex underwater environments. To send data at a speedier rate, high-performance photodetectors are essentially required to receive blue and/or cyan-blue light that are transmitted from the light sources in a light-fidelity (Li-Fi) system. Here, we fabricated high-performance organic phototransistors (OPTs) based on P-type donor polymer (PTO2) and N-type acceptor small molecule (IT-4F) blend semiconductors. Bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) PTO2:IT-4F photo-active layer has a broad absorption spectrum in the range of 450~550 nm wavelength. Solution-processed OPTs showed a high photo-responsivity >1,000 mA/W, a large photo-sensitivity >10³, a fast response time, and reproducible light-On/Off switching characteristics even under a weak incident light. BHJ organic semiconductors absorbed photons and generated excitons, and efficiently dissociated to electron and hole carriers at the donor-acceptor interface. Printed and flexible OPTs can be widely used as Li-Fi receivers and image sensors for underwater communication and underwater internet of things (UIoTs).
