Since the existing analog village broadcasting system has some technical problems in applying and degradations in performance due to its old equipments, it had been required to be changed to a digital system and to develop the standardization from now. Therefore, we have analyzed the service coverage in various environments in order to construct an effective digital wireless village broadcasting system. Also, a precise prediction of field strength should be set up in various propagation environments to design a digital radio stations with reliable transmit power. Using these results the received power and the propagation characteristics in various environments can be predicted to establish a standard and the testing service will be deployed in the near future.

In this study in order to evaluate the growth of RF propagation exposure rate generated according to the enhancement of its use, it is proposed for the ground to be able to examine and to contemplate the correlation between the human health and RF propagation exposure rate by measuring and analyzing the RF exposure source and exposure rate in an indoor environment. As a result of research, it is analyzed that the main exposure source of critically making effect in indoor environment is the frequency hand if radio broadcasting, mobile communication, wireless LAN, digital broadcasting, home appliance, etc., including the TV broadcasting. Among these, it is shown that the TV broadcasting and mobile communication band are the highest. And it is the concluded that RF exposure rate of the environmental sensitive equipment, like an institution for the aged, has lower possibility to exceed the human RF protection criteria by this evaluation.

This paper presents a set of candidate regulatory requirements for TV band devices (TVBDs) in the Rep. of Korea. To guarantee the protection of incumbent services, especially digital TV (DTV) and wireless microphones, in TV frequency bands, we suggest minimum separation distances of TVBDs from the noise-limited contour according to incumbent users and TVBD types. This paper also deals with multiple sets of separation distances of a co-channel TVBD network from a DTV protected contour on the basis of the radio propagation characteristics of different geographic areas to make good use of TV white space (TVWS) and safely protect the DTV service. We present a low-power transmission mode of TVBDs and the relevant separation distances for small-cell deployment. The service coverage reduction ratio of a TVBD network is investigated in the presence of DTV interference in four geographic areas. The TVWS field verification results, conducted on the island of Jeju (Rep. of Korea), show that incumbent services operate well without harmful interference from neighboring TVBDs with the proposed separation distances.

Spectrum sensing plays an important role in spectrum sharing. Energy detection is generally used because it does not require a priori knowledge of primary user (PU) signals; however, it is sensitive to noise uncertainty. An order statistics (OS) detector provides inherent protection against nonhomogeneous background signals. However, no analysis has been conducted yet to apply OS detection to spectrum sensing in a wireless channel to solve noise uncertainty. In this paper, we propose a robust spectrum sensing scheme based on generalized order statistics (GOS) and analyze the exact false alarm and detection probabilities under noise uncertainty. From the equation of the exact false alarm probability, the threshold value is calculated to maintain a constant false alarm rate. The detection probability is obtained from the calculated threshold under noise uncertainty. As a fusion rule for cooperative spectrum sensing, we adopt an OR rule, that is, a 1-out-of-N rule, and we call the proposed scheme GOS-OR. The analytical results show that the GOS-OR scheme can achieve optimum performance and maintain the desired false alarm rates if the coefficients of the GOS-OR detector can be correctly selected.

In mobile computing environments, to efficiently use the narrow bandwidth of wireless networks a mobile host caches the data that are frequently accessed. But, because the cached data can be inconsistent with the data n a server due to the host mobility and the disconnection from a server, the usefullness of cached data may be losted. The traditional methods emphasize on the cache consistency and assume that broadcasting times are synchronized at all mobile supprot stations. In this paper, we propose a strategy to maintain cache consistency, which resolves the problems that be caused by the migration of mobile host. The proposed strategy has asynchronous broadcasting time and reduces the communication overhead caused by the synchronization. Also, by preventing the unnecessary messages transmitting from the mobile support station to a mobile host, this strategy can reduce the communication cost and use the narrow bandwidth of wireless networks efficiently.

Mobile Wireless Sensor Network is an organized collection of sensor nodes and mobile sink nodes, in which the sensor node transmits the signal to the sink node. In real environment, there are many cases in which sinks have mobility caused by the people, the vehicle and etc. Since all nodes in the sensor networks have limited energy, many researches have been done in order to prolong the lifetime of the entire network. In this paper we propose Dynamic Local Update-based Routing Protocol(D-LURP) that prolong the lifetime of the entire network to efficiently maintain frequent location update of mobile sink static sensor nodes in Mobile WSNs. When the sink node moves out of the local broadcasting area the proposed D-LURP configures dynamically the local update area consisted of the new local broadcasting area and the previous dissemination node(DN) and find the path between the DN and the sink node, instead of processing a new discovering path like LURP. In this way the processing of broadcasting sink node's location information in the entire network will be omitted. and thus less energy will be consumpted. We compare the performances of the proposed scheme and existing Protocols.

In mobile computing environments, invalidation and propagation method based on broadcasting is used to transmit the information for cache maintenance of mobile hosts. Previous researches generally adopted invalidation method that easily adapts to the limited network bandwidth and the frequent disconnection. But the invalidation of frequently accessed data causes the contention on the wireless network with the increasing cache requests. Although the propagation method can reduce the cache requests, the high probability of broken message or loss of message is the main factor that degrades the system performance. To resolve these problems, we propose adaptive cache maintenance scheme that dynamically adjusts the broadcasting ratio of invalidation and propagation, according to the wireless network connection states. The proposed scheme broadcasts the propagation message in stable connection state, so it can reduce the cache requests and server response time. With the decreasing available network bandwidth by the frequent partial disconnection and disconnection, the proposed scheme dynamically increases the broadcasting ratio of the invalidation messages to minimize the broken message or the loss of message probability. Consequently, the proposed scheme resolves the problems which arise in the invalidation or propagation method in mobile computing environments.

It is crucial to derive a protection ratio between two communication systems before deploying a new communication systems in the vicinity of frequencies occupied by the existing communication systems. In this paper, computer simulation based protection ratio estimating scheme between ASTC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) digital broadcasting systems and WiBro (Wireless Broadband Internet) systems is proposed. The proposed scheme can be effectively exploited when a new communication services are deployed in the surplus frequency band after the expiration of the analog television broadcasting scheduled in 2012 in Korea.

The typical evacuation guidance system based on fire detectors, which is being widely used in theaters and large buildings, is often operated in an analog manner. In case of fire, it often causes the system to lose a wired line or wireless fire detection sensor, resulting in the difficulty of transmitting signals from a wired or wireless fire detection sensor to the main fire monitoring device. Accordingly, this paper has proposed the broadcasting system for disaster management, having an efficient evacuation guidance plan when a disaster occurs. The system reacts to an emergency situation along with fire alarm sirens in real time. We have implemented the above system by means of a simulation program that prints the evacuation guidance information (e.g., location and time of fire, and evacuation path) on an LCD located in a building through the fire sensor network in case of an emergency (e.g., actual fire). We have developed the simulation system by using mathematical algorithms, such as the optimal path search and the fire smoke diffusion algorithm. This simulation program considers the structure of a building and the location where the fire has initially occurred, applying it to the simulator.

For vehicle safety-related services using wireless communications, reliable collection of various driving informations transmitted periodically by neighbor vehicles is the most important. Every host vehicle analyses them to estimate a potential dangerous situation in a very short time and warns drivers to prevent an accident. However tremendous amount of periodic messages can cause the wireless communication in chaos and the services not in safe. In this paper, we propose a time-division broadcasting protocol to mitigate the communication congestion. It utilizes the received information of vehicle velocity and location, i.e. vehicle traffic density on a road to adjust the number of time slots in a given broadcasting period, and transmission power. The simulation results show that message reception ratio is changed to approximately 40% and channel access time also decreased from 10ms to 0.23ms.
