This paper makes the case that a new policy strategy to enhance a global green recovery is needed urgently. The new strategy requires two essential elements. First, G20 economies should follow the lead of South Korea and China and turn their green stimulus investments into a serious long-term commitment, and to support these investments, they should adopt environmental pricing policies and instigate pricing and regulatory reforms to reduce carbon dependency. Second, the G20 also needs to target and coordinate assistance to developing economies in science, technology and innovation (STI) for clean energy. Such assistance is essential to help developing economies to overcome the skills, technological and capital gap that they face in clean energy technologies over the long term. Reform of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is also necessary to establish a long-term global price signal for carbon, and to increase the coverage of developing economies, the sectors and technologies and the overall financing of clean energy projects. Formulating such a policy strategy should appeal to both the Asian-Pacific and Western economies comprising the G20, and by working together to formulate such a strategy, the G20 could lead the way toward a new era of global economic management and STI cooperation in clean energy.

The detection of yellow sand dust using satellite has been utilized from various bands from ultraviolet to infrared channels. Among them, Infrared channels have an advantage of detecting aerosols over high reflecting surface as well as during nighttime. Especially, brightness temperature difference between 11 and 12{\mu}m(BTD) was often used to distinguish between water cloud and yellow sand, because Ice and liquid water particles preferentially absorb longer wavelengths while aerosol particles preferentially absorb shorter wavelengths. We have found that the BTD significantly depends on surface temperature, emissivity, and zenith angle and thereby the threshold of BTD. In order to overcome these problems, we have constructed the background brightness temperature threshold of BTD and then subtracted it from BTD. Along with this, we utilized high temporal coverage of geostationary satellite, MTSAT-1R, to verify the reliability of the retrieved signal in conjunction with forecasted wind information. The statistical score test illustrated that this newly developed algorithm showed a promising result for detecting mineral dust by reducing the errors in the current BTD method.

Two-tier femtocell networks, consisting of a conventional cellular network underlaid with femtocell hotspots, play an important role in the indoor coverage and capacity of cellular networks. However, the cross- and co-tier interference will cause an unacceptable quality of service (QoS) for users with universal frequency reuse. In this paper, we propose a novel downlink interference mitigation strategy for spectrum-shared two-tier femtocell networks. The proposed solution is composed of three parts. The first is femtocells clustering, which maximizes the distance between femtocells using the same slot resource to mitigate co-tier interference. The second is to assign macrocell users (MUEs) to clusters by max-min criterion, by which each MUE can avoid using the same resource as the nearest femtocell. The third is a novel adaptive power control scheme with femtocells downlink transmit power adjusted adaptively based on the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) level of neighboring users. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively increase the successful transmission ratio and ergodic capacity of femtocells, while guaranteeing QoS of the macrocell.

In this paper, modified power control algorithms are proposed for a satellite mobile communications system with ATC (ancillary terrestrial component). In order to increase system capacity and reduce the transmitting power of the user's equipment, we propose the modified power control scheme consisting of the modified closed-loop and open-loop power control. The modified CLPC (closed-loop power control) algorithm, combining the delay compensation algorithms and pilot diversity, is mainly applied to the ATC link in urban areas because it is more suitable to the short RTD (round-trip delay). In the case of rural areas where ATCs are not deployed or a signal is not received from ATCs, combining monitoring transmitting power equipment and OLPC (open-loop power control) algorithms using an efficient pilot diversity is mainly applied to the link between the user's equipment and the satellite. Two power control algorithms are applied equally to the boundary areas where two kinds of signals are received in order to ensure coverage continuity. The simulation results show that the modified power control scheme has good performance compared to conventional power control schemes in a GEO (geostationary earth orbit) satellite system with ATC.

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are self-configuring networks where the nodes are vehicles equipped with wireless communication technologies. In such networks, limitation of signal coverage and fast topology changes impose difficulties to the proper functioning of the routing protocols. Traditional Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) routing protocols lose their performance, when communicating between vehicles, compromising information exchange. Obviously, most applications critically rely on routing protocols. Thus, in this work, we propose a methodology for investigating the performance of well-established protocols for MANETs in the VANET arena and, at the same time, we introduce a routing protocol, called Genetic Network Protocol (G-NET). It is based in part on Dynamic Source Routing Protocol (DSR) and on the use of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) for maintenance and route optimization. As G-NET update routes periodically, this work investigates its performance compared to DSR and Ad Hoc on demand Distance Vector (AODV). For more realistic simulation of vehicle movement in urban environments, an analysis was performed by using the VanetMobiSim mobility generator and the Network Simulator (NS-3). Experiments were conducted with different number of vehicles and the results show that, despite the increased routing overhead with respect to DSR, G-NET is better than AODV and provides comparable data delivery rate to the other protocols in the analyzed scenarios.

Femtocell provides better coverage and higher spectrum efficiency in areas rarely covered by macrocells. However, serious two-tier interference emerging from randomly deploying femtocells may create dead zones where the service is unavailable for macro-users. In this paper, we present adopting cognitive radio spectrum overlay to avoid intra-tier interference and incorporating spectrum underlay and overlay to coordinate cross-tier interference. It is a novel centralized control strategy appropriate for both uplink and downlink transmission. We introduce the application of proper spectrum sharing strategy plus optimal power allocation to address the issue of OFDM-based femtocells interference-limited downlink transmission, along with, a low-complexity suboptimal solution proposed. Simulation results illustrate the proposed optimal scheme achieves the highest transmission rate on successfully avoiding two-tier interference, and outperforms the traditional spectrum underlay or spectrum overlay, via maximizing the opportunity to transmit. Moreover, the strength of our proposed schemes is further demonstrated by comparison with previous classic power allocation methods, in terms of transmission rate, computational complexity and signal peak-to-average power ratio.

무선랜은 무선으로 근거리 단말들을 연결하는 통신 기술로, 일반적인 무선랜의 구성은 하나의 AP와 하나 이상의 단말 기기가 BSS를 구성한다. 무선랜 서비스 영역에서 AP와 거리가 가까운 단말은 고속의 데이터 전송률을 보장받을 수 있지만 AP에서 거리가 멀리 떨어진 단만은 신호의 세기가 약해지므로 고속데이터 전송률의 보장을 받을 수 없는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 무선 단말 중 일부를 중계 단말로 이용함으로써 그룹화를 통해 고속데이터 전송을 가능하게 하는 방법을 제안하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 무선 단말의 그룹화를 위해 제안한 깊이우선탐색 알고리즘과 넓이우선탐색 알고리즘을 비교, 분석하였다. 그 결과 넓이우선탐색 알고리즘이 무선 단말을 위한 그룹화에 보다 효과적인 알고리즘임을 보였다.

이동 통신 시스템에서 음영 지역의 셀 커버리지를 확보하기 위하여 다양한 종류의 중계기가 사용되고 있다. 그러나 일반적인 무선 중계기는 송 수신 안테나 간의 궤환신호로 인한 발진 문제 때문에 고출력 옥외 중계기로 상용하기 어렵다. 궤환 간섭제거 중계기는 디지털 적응필터를 이용하여 송 수신 안테나 간의 궤환신호를 제거하여 발진을 방지한다. 본 논문에서는 dual NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square) 알고리듬을 제안하며, 궤환 채널의 도플러 주파수 추정을 통하여 적응필터의 스텝 사이즈를 결정한다. 시불변 채널 및 다중 경로 페이딩 채널 환경에서 제안하는 알고리듬의 성능을 분석하고 모의 실험을 통하여 검증한다.

본 연구에서는 데이터통신을 사용하기 위하여 기계간의 통신을 기초로 한 TCP/IP는 CDMA/GSM을 사용한다. 이 통신방식은 근해정박부이에서는 시스템 서버에 데이터 백업을 위하여 광법위하게 사용된다. 기후나 신호적용범위 때문에 TCP/IP M2M 통신방식은 종종 데이터 전송이 실패하거나 서버에서의 데이터손실을 유발한다. 해양통신이나 기상학적인 해석을 위해서는 데이터 손실을 줄여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 데이터 전달 손실을 최소화하고 데이터복구에서 사용되는 재시도를 위하여 M2M 데이터손실을 최소화하는 소프트웨어방식을 연구하였다. 이 연구의 유용성을 입증하기 위하여 근해에 위치하는 기상용 부이에서 통신을 이용하여 연구의 유용성을 보여주었다.
