This paper designs and implements a software prober to support a more effective power analysis for Linux-based embedded systems by using power consumption data measured in hardware. The proposed software prober, which is included in a target system as a module, collects power data and provides a service to discover major power consumers in user functions of applications or kernel functions through time synchronization between the power data measured in hardware and software. In addition, we verified usefulness of the implemented software prober by running user applications on target systems.

As a new type of a linear decorrelating receiver, the Pseudo-Decorrelator was presented for asynchronous code division multiple access systems by the author. In this paper, the concept of the Pseudo-Decorrelator is extended to derive a multiuser receiver for WCDMA uplink systems over a Rayleigh fading multipath channel. Starting with the analysis of the multiple access components of the decision statistics, a non-square cross-correlation matrix for each bit is obtained. This cross-correlation matrix is then inverted, and the inverted matrix is applied to the decision statistics obtained from a conventional receiver. This receiver is near-far resistant and outperforms conventional receivers even for the cases in which synchronization errors, such as time delay errors and phase errors exist.

In this paper, we proposed a burst mode symbol timing recovery unit that is applicable to the VDL Mode-2 using D8PSK modulation. A method that IIR loop filter is used to minimize symbol timing error is hard to apply to burst mode because its convergence time is long. That is, the fast convergence property is important. In this paper, the proposed method takes one sample which has maximum symbol power after the initial synchronization has been achieved by using preambles. The main principle of operation is that the unit moves one sample clock to advance or retard according to symbol power. We verify that the proposed method is operated well in ${\pm}100$ ppm or greater through the test results between Australia ADS Corp. transmitter and the designed receiver.

In this paper, we developed a new MSRDS(Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio) simulator for a quadruped pet robot with synchronization of virtual and real robots. By using this simulator, it is possible to reduce time and cost for gait and motion design and it will help for commercialization of service pet robots. In the research point of view, the simulator can be used to examine the model differences between the virtual and the real robots. Since this simulator implements the coordinated control of the virtual and real robots, it can be used as an internet game using two remote pet robots.

Upstream data frame of TDM-PON includes various types of overheads, and there exist guard bands between consecutive frames from different ONUs. Although they are indispensible in synchronization and performance, they cause bandwidth waste at the same time. To solve this problem, a new TDM-PON that uses two types of wavelengths in upstream transmission is suggested. By even distribution of two wavelengths among ONUs and overhead overlap between frames that use different wavelengths, almost 100% bandwidth efficiency could be achieved. A serializer that multiplexes signals from two wavelengths is implemented for this purpose.

The deblocking filter (DF) reduces blocking artifacts in encoded video sequences, and thereby significantly improves the subjective and objective quality of videos. Statistics show that the DF accounts for 5-18% of the total decoding time in high-efficiency video coding. Therefore, speeding up the DF will improve codec performance, especially for the decoder. In view of the rapid development of multicore technology, we propose a parallel DF scheme based on a modified order of accessing the coding tree units (CTUs) by analyzing the data dependencies between adjacent CTUs. This enables the DF to run in parallel, providing accelerated performance and more flexibility in the degree of parallelism, as well as finer parallel granularity. We additionally solve the problems of variable privatization and thread synchronization in the parallelization of the DF. Finally, the DF module is parallelized based on the HM16.1 reference software using OpenMP technology. The acceleration performance is experimentally tested under various numbers of cores, and the results show that the proposed scheme is very effective at speeding up the DF.

Fault tolerance is a crucial design for a mission-critical computer such as engagement control computer that has to maintain its operation for long mission time. In recent years, software fault-tolerant design is becoming important in terms of cost-effectiveness and high-efficiency. In this paper, we propose MPCMCC which is a model-based software component to implement fault tolerance in mission-critical computers. MPCMCC is a fault tolerance design that synchronizes shared data between two computers by using the one-way message-passing scheme which is easy to use and more stable than the shared memory scheme. In addition, MPCMCC can be easily reused for future work by employing the model based development methodology. We verified the functions of the software component and analyzed its performance in the simulation environment by using two mission-critical computers. The results show that MPCMCC is a suitable software component for fault tolerance in mission-critical computers.

In this paper, we develop design procedures for carrier tracking loop for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems or other systems of blocked data. In such communication systems, phase error measurements are made infrequent enough to invalidate the traditional loop design methodology which is based on analog loop design. We analyze the degradation in the OFDM schemes caused by the tracking loop and show how the performance is dependent on the rms phase error, where we distinguished between the effect of the variance in the average phase over the symbol and the effect of the phase change over the symbol. We derive the optimal tracking loop including optional delay in the loop caused by processing time. Our solution is general and includes arbitrary phase noise apd additive noise spectrums. In order to guarantee a well behaved solution, we have to check the design against margin constraints subject to uncertainties. In case the optimal loop does not meet the required margin constraints subjected to uncertainties, it is shown how to apply a method taken from control theory to find a controller. Alternatively, if we restrict the solution to first or second order loops, we give a simple loop design procedure which may be sufficient in many cases. Extensions of the method are shown for using both pilot symbols and data symbols in the OFDM receiver for phase tracking. We compare our results to other methods commonly used in OFDM receivers and we show that a large improvement can be gained.
