The duty-cycle synchronization among mobile sensor nodes with energy-harvesting is very important. The nodes should keep their duty-cycle same to others as much as possible because they have to cooperate each other and to consume energy efficiently. The distribution of node position in network affects not only node connectivity but also the active time of synchronized nodes, and it relates to network life-time finally. In this paper, we introduce a network topology change algorithm (TCA) for energy-harvesting mobile sensor networks based on self-synchronized duty-cycling. The algorithm tries to change a network topology into a balanced topology where the mobile sensor nodes are unified according to the density of the number of nodes. For TCA, both fluid flow algorithm and flock dispersion algorithm are proposed and they are evaluated through the simulation in agent based modeling language. TCA is applied to the energy-harvesting mobile sensor networks to improve the synchronization of duty-cycle and to reduce the variation of energy consumption among nodes.

In this paper, we propose the hierarchical network synchronization scheme that is backward compatible for the existing commercial system, efficient for total system performance, and whose hardware modification is minimized. This system performance is, the relationship among bandwidth efficiency, complexity and MODEM performance, and superiority of network system applicability. The proposed structure can remedy the high hardware complexity and the lower accuracy of network sychronization that the existing satellite communication terminal system in the star network based on TDM/MF-TDMA of DVB-S2/RCS standards has. Besides, It has high efficiency in view of cost and system performance if the system designed for satellite broadcast requires system upgrade. In the body section, its hardware complexity and system performance of the proposed algorithm is analysed theoretically and treated with the related parameters(symbol rate, spreading factor, etc.) and the BER performance of control channel through the computer simulation for its verification that it can be applied for communications system.

In RNC of IMT-2000, main control processors such as ASP, ACP and OMP are responsible for call control function, and the high reliability and real-time property should be provided for it. So, the study of real-time fault-tolerant for it is needed. In this paper, we proposes an Task based duplication method, in which Tasks in active side operated on message unit and send the updated data to standby side after operation, log in the message to standby side for recovery during take-over. This scheme decreases the dual down and the complexity of synchronization procedure, and performs the synchronization more exactly because Tasks control the synchronization of system. This paper also proposes the fault detection and the fault handing method for effective implementation of Task based duplication. This scheme focus on increasing the fault detection rate and intercepting originally that fault data is send to standby side.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of the encoding and the modulation processes in the downlink and uplink of the EPCglobal Gen-2 system through the analysis and simulation. Furthermore, the synchronization issues on time and frequency domain and the preamble architecture are evaluated. By incorporating the encoding and the modulation technigue in the downlink and uplink, we assess the performance of the EPCglobal Gen-2 system. We also introduce the encoding and backscatter modulation process as well as the BER performance of FM0 code. In addition, the importance and the role of the frequency and time synchronization, such as the preamble and frame synchronization are explained. Through the simulation in the uplink on the detection probability through preamble, we find that the detection probability approaches 1 for 13 dB $E_b/N_0$.

Recently a protocol was developed that precisely synchronizes the time of ovulation in Hanwoo. Cows were treated with GnRH on Day 0, PGF$_2$$\alpha$ 7 d later, GnRH 2 d later, and then time-inseminated approximately 24 h after this second treatment with GnRH. Ovarian morphology was monitored cows by trans-rectal ultrasonography 6.5MHz linear transrectal probe(Sonovet - 600., Medison co. Korea) from 24 hr to 31 hrs after second GnRH injection. The result obtained summarized as follows - 1. Induced ovulation were 24 to 31hr after the second GnRH injection, but high induced ovulation was 28hr. 2. Conception rate with HML(High meat lin) and HIL(High milk lin) treatment were 48.1％(38/79) and 43.9％(40/91), respectively. 3. Conception rate of 1∼2 parity and 3∼4 parity was 44.3％ and 55％, respectively. 4. Conception rate of spring, autumn was more increased, 47.3％ than summer.

Recently, hybrid positioning system combining GPS, vision sensor, and inertial sensor has drawn many attentions to estimate accurate vehicle positions. Since accurate multi-sensor fusion requires efficient time synchronization, this paper proposes an efficient method to obtain time synchronized measurements of vision sensor, inertial sensor, and OBD device based on GPS time information. In the proposed method, the time and position information is obtained by the GPS receiver, the attitude information is obtained by the inertial sensor, and the speed information is obtained by the OBD device. The obtained time, position, speed, and attitude information is converted to the color information. The color information is inserted to several corner pixels of the corresponding image frame. An experiment was performed with real measurements to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed method.

With the development of artificial intelligence and unmanned technologies, the remote surveillance/autonomous driving systems have been actively researched. For an effective performance analysis of the developed remote control system, it is important to record the data of it in real time. In addition, in order to analyze the performance between the control system and the remote system, the recorded data from them should be synchronized with time. In this paper we proposed a novel time synchronization method for the remote control system. The proposed remote control system satisfies the time difference of the recorded data within 1 ms, and we can reduce the time difference by using a CPU shielding and affinity setting. The performance of the proposed method was proved through various network data storage experiments. And the experiments confirmed that the proposed method can be applied to recording devices of unmanned ground vehicles and control vehicles. The proposed method will be used as a method for analyzing network data of UGV-R (Unmanned Ground Vehicle - Reconnaissance).

In the relational database systems, the join operation is one of the most time-consuming query operations. Many parallel join algorithms have been developed to reduce the execution time. Multiple hash join algorithm using allocation tree is one of most efficient ones. However, it may have some delay on the processing each node of allocation tree, which is occurred in tuple-probing phase by the difference between one page reading time of outer relation and the processing time of already read one. In this paper, to solve the performance degrading problem by the delay, we develop a join algorithm using the concept of 'synchronization of page execution time' for multiple hash joins. We reduce the processing time of each nodes in the allocation tree and improve the total system performance. In addition, we analyze the performance by building the analytical cost model and verify the validity of it by various performance comparison with previous method.

In UMTS terminal modem uses 3 step search procedure for initial cell search, which comprises 1) slot synchronization, 2) code group identification and frame synchronization, and 3) scrambling-code identification. The performance of initial cell search procedure depends on search parameters like observation time and threshold. The purpose of this paper is to get the optimal observation time and threshold of each step for minimum mean acquisition time. In this paper we induce mean detection time of each step and mean acquisition timefrom the model of 3 step search procedure using state diagram. Also we propose initial cell search algorithm which utilize window search method against initial oscillator error, and select an appropriate observation time and threshold of each step by the analysis of simulation and induced result. It is shown that the mean acquisition time in multipath fading channel can be shorter than 500ms by using the determined observation time and threshold of each step.
