The performance of satellite range measurement using tone method was analyzed in the presence of satellite link AWGN. The phase errors in range measurement are generated by AWGN of satellite up- and down-link and the degradations of satellite range measurement are dependent on the transmission mode and loop bandwidth of satellite measurement system. The analyzed effects for satellite measurement in presence of satellite link noise were also analyzed with the measured satellite range data via satellite range measurement system operating in satellite link AWGN. In RAU mode, the satellite range differences of 14.4 to 40.6 m were occurred according to the loop bandwidth of satellite range measurement system and the degradation of 0.3 dB compared with theoretical value was generated under condition of the signal-to-noise ratio of 43 dB. In RAU and TM mode, the performances of range measurement were approximately agreed to the that of RAU mode. In order to get the equal performance characteristics with RAU mode, the signal-to-noise ratio of satellite link for RAU and TM mode should be increased by signal power of 2.3 dB, which is a power loss due to transmission of telemetry signal.

FlashLinQ, one of the typical D2D communication systems developed by Qualcomm, considers a single-tone communication based distributed channel-aware link scheduling method to realize the link scheduling process with low control overheads. However, considering the frequency selective fading effect of practical multi-path channel, the single-tone based SIR estimation causes a critical scheduling error problem because the received single-tone signal has quite different channel gain at each sub-carrier location. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a novel link scheduling method based on CAZAC (Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation) sequence for D2D communication system. In the proposed method, each link has a unique offset value set for the generation of CAZAC sequences. CAZAC sequences with the cyclic offsets are transmitted using multiple sub-blocks in the entire bandwidth, and then each device can obtain nearly full-band SIR using a good cyclic cross-correlation property of CAZAC sequence.

This study explores potential capability of a machine learning approach for monitoring urban morphology based on an evident case study. The case study conveys year 2006 investigations on interpreting urban morphology of Boston Main Streets by applying a machine learning approach. From the lesson of the precedent study, in 2016, another field research and interview was conducted to compare changes in urban situation, data commons culture, and technology innovation during the decade. This paper describes open possibilities to advance urban monitoring for morphological changes. Most of all, a multi-participatory data platform enables managing urban data system in real time. Second, collaboration with machines with artificial intelligence can intervene the framework of the urban management system as well as transform it through new demands of innovative industries. Recently, urban regeneration became a dominant urban planning strategy in Korean, therefore, urban monitoring is on demand. It is timely important to correspond to in-situ problems based on empirical research.

Performance analysis and comparison of the hybrid DS-SFH spread-spectrum (SS) system using coherent MSK and QPSK modulation techniques over Rayleigh fading channel are considered in the presence of MTJ(multi-tone jamming). To analyze the BER performance of the hybrid systems with or without the Rake receiver, signal-to-noise plus interference ratio is derived as a function of the average signal-to-noise ratio, the jammer-to-signal ratio and other system parameters. Numerical results show that the performance difference between the two modulation schemes, MSK and QPSK, is negligible for low JSR, while it becomes significant with the increase of JSR. In multi-path Rayleigh fading channel without Rake receiver, the performances of the two modulation schemes are slightly improved as the DS spreading gain is increased when the total SS bandwidth is fixed. In particular, there is an optimum DS spreading gain for large JSR, in which a minimum BER is achieved, while only DS spreading gives the best performance for small JSR. For hybrid systems with Rake receiver, it is shown that the hybrid system of the MSK modulation scheme provides better anti-jamming performance and larger performance improvement with the increase of multi-path resolution capability of Rake receiver than that of QPSK modulation for all conditions.

Natural gas liquefaction process which spends a huge amount energy is operated under cryogenic conditions. Thus, many researchers have studied on minimizing energy consumption of LNG plant. However, a few studied for cost optimization have performed. This study focused on the cost analysis for the single mixed refrigerant (SMR) process, one of the simplest natural gas liquefaction process, which has different capacity. The process capacity is increased from 1 million ton per annum (MTPA) to 2.5 MTPA by 0.5 MTPA steps. According to the increase of plant size, only flow rate of natural gas and mixed refrigerant are increased and other operating conditions are fixed. Aspen Economic Evaluator(v.8.7) is used for the cost analysis and six tenths factor rule is applied to obtain multi stream heat exchanger cost data which is not supplied by Aspen Economic Evaluator. Moreover, the optimal plant sizes for different sizes of gas wells are found as the result of applying plant cost to small scale gas wells, 20 million ton (MT), 40 MT, and 80 MT. Through this cost analysis, the foundation is built to optimize LNG plant in terms of the cost.

The Republic of Tajikistan has ten former uranium mining sites. The total volume of all tailings is approximately 55 million tonnes, and the covered area is more than 200 hectares. The safe management of legacy uranium mining and tailing sites has become an issue of concern. Depending on the performance requirements and site-specific conditions (location in an arid, semiarid or humid region), a cover system for uranium tailings sites could be constructed using several material layers using both natural and man-made materials. The purpose of this study is to find a feasible cost-effective cover system design for the Degmay uranium tailings site which could provide a long period (100 years) of protection. The HELP computer code was used in the evaluation of potential Degmay cover system designs. As a result of this study, a cover system with 70 cm thick percolation layer, 30 cm thick drainage layer, geomembrane liner and 60 cm thick barrier soil layer is recommended because it minimizes cover thickness and would be the most cost-effective design.

In this paper, we studied the design and implementation of fading compensation systems at aspects of narrowband mobile communication using TTIB SSB. The mobile radio channel with multipath fading places fundamental limitations on the performance of wireless communication systems. The multipath fading is compensated using pilot tone in TTIB SSB. The TTIB transceiver was implemented using the prevailing digital signal processing (DSP) techniques and compensation for the multipath fading was incorporated in the receiver in the form of DSP algorithm. In order to evaluate fading compensation performance in TTIB transceiver, we first used computer simulation. In the simulation results, we found that the TTIB transceiver could compensate for the multipath fading as expected. Second, we carried out some experiments on TTIB transceiver implementation with DSP boards and later with hardwares including RF circuits with center frequency of 145MHz. Through these experiments, we found that fading compensation performance in TTIB transceiver was almost as good as that obtained from simulation.

T-Lohi, a MAC protocol for underwater acoustic sensor networks, has been designed to support dense networks consisting of short-range acoustic modems. However when T-Lohi is applied to large networks in which multi-hop routing is necessary, it suffers a lot of packet collisions due to the hidden terminal problem. To combat this problem, we propose a new MAC protocol which employs RTS/CTS handshaking. To our knowledge, this protocol is the first to adopt both a tone-based approach and RTS/CTS handshaking for dense underwater acoustic sensor networks. Simulation results show that this new protocol drastically reduces packet collisions while achieving good network utilization.

본 연구는 SWSI를 보완한 식을 이용하여 금강유역에 대해 농업가뭄지수(ASWSI)를 산정하고 농업가뭄 분포도를 작성하여 가뭄지수에 의한 농업용 저수지 유역의 가뭄을 평가하는 방법을 제시하였다. SWSI는 유역 단위의 수문학적 가뭄을 평가하기 위하여 개발된 지표로서 융설량, 강수량, 하천유출량, 저수지 저류량이 입력인자로서 유역별, 계절별로 입력인자를 선택적으로 적용하여 유역의 수문학적 가뭄을 평가한다. 본 연구에서는 가뭄에 영향을 미치는 인자를 강수량, 저수지 유입량 및 저수량으로 결정하고 ASWSI의 입력인자를 저수지 상류유역은 강수량과 유입량, 하류지역은 강수량과 저수량을 사용하였다. 금강유역 내 천만톤 이상의 대표 저수지 7개를 선정하여 16개년(1991-2006) 동안의 저수지 상 하류 유역의 농업가뭄지수를 산정하였으며, 산정된 결과를 토대로 다중회귀분석을 실시하여 금강유역 용수구역별 농업가뭄지수 분포도를 작성하였다. 적용결과를 과거 가뭄사상에 검증한 결과, 1994년 1, 2차 가뭄 피해기간인 7월과 9월에 대해서 심한가뭄 상태로 표현하였고, 1995년 가장 가뭄이 심화되었던 6월의 가뭄에 대해서도 심한가뭄으로 표현하였으며, 2001년에도 5월의 최대 용수부족 상황에 대해서 심한가뭄을 표현하였다. 이처럼 ASWSI가 실제 가뭄 발생 현상과 일치함을 확인하였으며, 농업가뭄을 표현하는데 있어 적합한 것으로 판단된다.
