Cognitive radio (CR) features opportunistic access to spectrum when licensed users (LU) are not operating. To avoid interference to LU, cognitive users (CU) need to perform spectrum sensing. Because of local shadowing, fading, or limited sensing capability, it is suggested that multiple CUs cooperate to detect LU. In cooperative spectrum sensing, CUs should exchange their sensing data with minimum bandwidth and delay. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to efficiently report sensing data to the central node in an infrastructured OFDM-based CR network. All CUs simultaneously report their sensing data over unique and orthogonal signals on locally available subcarriers. By detecting the signals, the central node can determine subcarrier availability for each CU. Implementation challenges are identified and then their solutions are suggested. The proposed method is evaluated through simulation on a realistic channel model. The results show that the proposed method is feasible and efficient.

The Facing Targets Sputtering(FTS) system has several advantages for preparing films over a wide range of working gas pressure on plasma-free substrates. Co-Cr thin films seem to be one of the most promising media for perpendicular magnetic recording system. In this study, the capabillities of the system fordepositing C0-Cr films have been investigated. Under various Ar gas pressure, films with morphologically dense microstructure and good c-axis orientation were deposited, even when the incident angle $\psi_x$ of sputtered part icles to the film plane was below abount $50^{\circ}C$. this may imply that the shadowing effect by obique incidence of particle can be compensated by rapid surface diffusion owing to the high kinetic energy of particles arriving at the growing film. It has been confirmed that the FTS system is very useful for perparing Co-Cr thin films recorging media.

Amorphous carbon films have a variety of potential applications. In most such applications film properties are crucial and highly dependent on the film growth conditions. We here investigate the atomic structure of the films, which is generated at various incidence angles, using the classical molecular dynamics. Varying incidence angle of the deposited carbon atoms, different level of sp hybridization and porosity of the film are captured in our model. As the incidence angle becomes glancing, subplantation of the deposited carbon in vertical direction is significantly reduced, rather bouncing back of the incident carbon with slight modification of surface structure is mainly occurred at the early stage of the film growth. As the surface becomes rougher, shadowing effect at these glancing incidences also becomes more significant, which tends to cause asymmetrical and columnar structure. We describe incidence angle dependence of the evolution of the atomic structure of the film and its corresponding properties.

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.

To study the feasibility of applying wireless communication technology to the control of train for the effective control of train and for the reduction of cost and time to construct the necessary infra structure, we investigate into the application of the existing commercial WCDMA network to CBTC (communication-based train control) to grasp the obstacles and propose the solutions to circumvent them. The obstacles can be categorized into the hand-off problem, the interference problem near the stations, and the problem of radio shadow areas. We propose, as solutions, the cell overlap method and multi-terminal approach for the hand-off problem, the cell sectoring method for the interference problem, and establishment of new base stations along the railroad both to provide the wireless train control and communication service to the customers on the train which was otherwise impossible because of the shadowing effect.

A 4-year-old Chihuahua dog was referred for bilateral corneal ulcers. Slightly raised white fluorescein-positive plaque-like corneal lesions in both eyes appeared as intense hyperreflective areas with posterior shadowing on optical coherence tomography (OCT). Based on corneal cytology and culture, Candida albicans-induced fungal keratitis was diagnosed. Despite treatment, on OCT, endothelial plaques, increased stromal infiltration thickness, vertical shapes of the ulcer edge, and necrotic stromal space were judged to be aggravation of the disease, and surgery was performed. Conjunctival grafting surgery with topical 1% voriconazole effectively resolved fungal keratitis. OCT can provide detailed and objective information related to the disease prognosis.

In this paper, we consider the set of periodic shadowable points for homeomorphisms of a compact metric space, and we prove that this set satisfies some properties such as invariance and being a G_δ set. Then we investigate implication relations related to sets consisting of shadowable points, periodic shadowable points and uniformly expansive points, respectively. Assume that the set of periodic points and the set of periodic shadowable points of a homeomorphism on a compact metric space are dense in X. Then we show that a homeomorphism has the periodic shadowing property if and only if so is the restricted map to the set of periodic shadowable points. We also give some examples related to our results.

In this paper, we investigate a dynamic spectrum sharing problem for the centralized uplink cognitive radio networks using orthogonal frequency division multiple access. We formulate a large-scale joint rate and power allocation as an optimization problem under quality of service constraint for secondary users and interference constraint for primary users. We also suggest admission control to nd a feasible solution to the optimization problem. To implement the resource allocation on a large-scale, we introduce a notion of using the conservative factors $\alpha$ and $\beta$ depending on the outage and violation probabilities. Since estimating instantaneous channel gains is costly and requires high complexity, the proposed algorithm pursues a practical and implementation-friendly resource allocation. Simulation results demonstrate that the large-scale joint rate and power allocation incurs a slight loss in system throughput over the instantaneous one, but it achieves lower complexity with less sensitivity to variations in shadowing statistics.
