The next generation of wireless network will be problably developed as a mobile communications which will support ATM-based multiMedium traffic. We need to develop an dffective MAC protocol in order to support multimedia traffic having variety of QoS characteristics on wireless neteworks. In this paper, we propose a MAC protocol a MAC protocol where mobile terminals having cells to transmit, request slots to base station through requested slot then the base station analyze parameters from mobile and allocate slots to mobile according to priority. The multimedia slot allocation(MSA) protocol divides multimedias applications into real-time/ variant and non real-time services. Entire slots of the frameare partitioned proportionallyby sizeof bandwidth according to types of services, so that related services can use allocated-slots in priority. The proposed algorithm guarantees real time operation since real-time service share slots allocated for non real-real services. The algorithm whih divides slots of the frame is called as an Algorithm A, otherwise as an Algorithm B. The simulation compares by average delay time and cell loss probability between Algorithm and Algorithm B by increasing number of mobile terminal using the proposed MAC protocol. the simulation result for real-time services shows that average delay time and cell loss probability of Algorithm A is better than those of Algorithm B.

The Mathematic model of bit synchronization charge-pump Phase Locked Loop (PLL) is presented which takes into account the aperiodic reference pulses and the leakage current of the loop filter. We derive theoreitcal static phase error, overload and stability of bit synchronization charge-pump PLL using presented model and compare it with one of the conventional charge-pump PLL model. We can analysis bit synchronization charge-pump PLL exactly because our model takes into account the leakage current of the loop filter and aperiodic input data which are the charateristics of bit synchronization charge-pump PLL. We also verify it using HSPICE simulation with a bity synchronizer circuit.

A linearly-chirped fiber grating for the dispersion compensation over 520km of 1.3.mu.m single mode fiber is designed. The compensation characteristics of the gratings apodized each with Gaussian and hyperbolic tangent function are studied. the ripples in reflection and delay curves are coniderably reduced for both cases, but the reflection bandwidth for the hyperbolic tangent apodization is much less shrinked than that of the Gaussian apodization.

We summarize, in this paper, that we have learned from the slftwar reliability analysis of a large switching software composed of functional blocks which form slotware units. To determine the time of management activity related to sopftware reliability growth, we review the process of detection and correction of software failures. Also we apply the two softwre reliability frowth model, Goel-Okumoto and S-shaped model, to estimate the global software reliability growth to a set of failure found during period of the system test. The analysis methods and results can be applied to other large software development projects.

In this paper, we propose signaling procedures amon network elements for a connection rerouting method which can reduce inter-switch handoff processing delay reduces the delay in the connection re-routing by reserving VPI/VCIs for possible inter-switch handoff calls in advance. Additionally, we mathematically analyze the signaling procedures and then suggest solutions to the relations with cluser size, network topoloty, handoff-request rete and handoff delay. With simulation, the solutions are validated. From numerical examples, we concluded taht handoff delay, one of the handoff QoSs, can be satisfied by adjusting the cluster size and network topology according to the handoff -request rate of service area. With our proposed signaling and analytic methods, we concluded that the connection rerouting method using cluster-sectoring effectively reduces the delay of inter-switch handoff processing than dynamic connection rerouting method. Our solutions are useful in guaranteeing the requested handoff delay (especially, inter-switch handoff delay) when the connection rerouting method is applied to ATM-based wireless/wired integrated network.

This paper represents identification and control designs using neural networks for a class of nonlinear dynamic systems. A proposed neuro-controller is a combination of a linear controller and a neural network, and is trained by indirect neuro-control scheme. The proposed neuro-controller is implemented and tested on an IBM PC-based bar system, and is applicable to many dc-motor-driven precisiion servo mechanisms. The ideas, algorithm, and experimental results are described. Experimental resutls are shown to be superior to those of conventional control.

In this paper, a gain scheduling method of PID controller is proposed using fuzzy logic for balancing control of an inverted pendulum. First, gains of PID controller are calculated using pole-placement technique for the linearized model of an inverted pendulum and these gains are modified by fuzzy logic throughout control operations. A PD controller is used by switching near the set-point to improve the performance. It is illustrated by simulations that the proposed hybrid fuzzy control method yidels smaller rising time and overshoot compared to the fixed-gain PID controller or fuzzy logic-based only PID controller.

In this paper, we propose a model-based FDI(fault detetion and isolation) algorithm to detect and isolate fault in a linear system. The proposed algorithm is gased on an HFC(hydrid fault classifier) which consists of an FCART2(fault classifier by ART2 neural network) and an FCFM(fault classifier by fault models) which operate in parallel to isolate faults. The proposed algorithm is functionally composed of three main parts-parameter estimation, fault detection, and isolation. When a change in the system occurs, the estimated parameters go through a transition zone in which errors between the system output and the stimated output and the estimated output cross a predetermined thrseshold, and in this zone the estimated parameters are tranferred to the FCART2 for fault isolation. On the other hand, once a fault in the system is detected, the FCFM statistically isolates the fault by using the error between ach fault model out put and the system output. From the computer simulation resutls, it is verified that the proposed model-based FDI algorithm can be performed successfully to detect and isolate faults in a position control system of a DC motor.

In this study, a multi-element ultrasound transducer has been developed aiming at basic experiment of three-dimension endovascular ultrasound endscopy for clinical diagnos, and experimental results of two-dimensional object imaging in the water are presented by the ultrasound tranducer and neural network. Each ultrasound echo received by thirty-six angular transducer elements is inputed to the eural network, and then backpropagation is used as a learning algorithm. A three-layer artificial neural network is used for learning and imaging of targetw placed in front of the transducer. The object shape of imaging is restricted to rectangular shapes by considering experimental restraint conditions. As a result, rough visualization can be realized even for objects with unlearned shapes through the training by primitive patterns of a various sized rectangular targets.

In this paper, we introduce a new DCT based hierarchical finite state vector quantization. Our proposed scheme uses difference of DCT coefficients to find a representative vector, and classifies image blocks into different hierarchical levels depending on their structural characteristics, and uses different coding rates and different number os state codebooks at each hierarchical levels. As a result, we obtained reconstructed images having satisfiable quality objectively.

A new gray-scale thinning algorithm using local min/max operations is proposed. In this method, erosion and dilation properties of local min/max operations are using for generating new rides and detecting ridges in gray scale image, and gray-scale skeletons are gradually obtained by accumulating the detected ridges. This method can be applicable to the unsegmented image in which object are not specified, and the obtained skeletons correspond to the ridges (high gray values) of an input image.

A new image processor is implemented for high-speed digital copiers and facsimiles. The imgage processor performs CCD and CIS interface, pre-processing, enlargement andreduction of gray level image, and various halftoning algorithms.

In receiving mode, it converts the resolution of received binary image for compatibility with conventional facsimile. In copy mode, a line of A3 paper with 400 dpi is processed with in 2.5 ms. The prototype of image processor was implemented usig Laser Programmable Gate Array (LPGA) with 0.8.mu.m technology.

In this paper, we introudce the notion of the smoothly perfect 8-conntected (SP8C) contour and describe a coding technique for the SP8C contours. Based on the simplificationusing the majority filter proposed by Gu, SP8C contours are restricted on the contour lattice from the segmented image. By noting thating SP8C contours are restricted to travel in only 3 different directions along the contours, we attempt to encode the SP8C contours using the following two techniques. The one is the neighbouring direction segmentcoding, while the other is to employ the notion of the entropy endoding. Computer simulations reveal that the contours can be efficiently encoded by the two technique.

For generation and analysis of the multi-sensory image, we propose a new three dimensional (3D) modeling method considering an iternal heat source. We represent the heat conduction process within th object as an equivalent thermal circuit. Therefore, without a complex computation, our modeling approach can obtain thermal features of the object. By using the faceted model, the proposed method can express the accurate visual signatures of the object. Comparing the estimates datum with the obtained surface temperatures, we have demonstrated that the proposed method can provide a precise thermal features. The thermal images by out model is applicable to simulate a tracking loop of an IR missile.

This paper presents a method to estimate subpixel accuracy motion vectors using a mathermatical model withoug interpolation. the proposed method decides the coefficients of mathematical model, which represents the motion vector which is achieved by full search. And then the proposed method estimates subpixel accuracy motion vector from achieved mathematical model. Step by step mathematical models such as type 1, type 2, type 3, modified bype 2, modified type 3, and Partial Interpolation type 3 are presented. In type 1, quadratic polynomial, which has 9 unknown coefficients and models the 3by 3 pixel plane, is used to get the subpixel accuracy motion vectors by inverse matrix solution. In type 2 and 3, each quadratic polynomial which is simplified from type 1 has 5 and 6 unknown coefficients and is used by least square solution. Modified type 2 and modified type 3 are enhanced models by weighting only 5 pixels out of 9. P.I. type 3 is more accurate method by partial interpolation around subpixel which isachieved by type 3. LThese simulation results show that the more delicate model has the better performance and modified models which are simplified have excellent performance with reduced computational complexity.

We propose an efficient method of de-interlacing in the post-pocessing of HDTV signal. Since the proposed method considers human visual weight, it gives the better performance in the edge information preservation than that of the median filter. The processing time of the proposed method is twice faster than median filter, therefore the proposed method is suitable for the real-time de-interlacing in the post-processing of HDTV signal.
