In order to apply a piezoelectric energy harvester to a smart sensor system, an energy harvest interface circuit including an AC-DC rectifier is required. In this paper, we compared the performance of full bridge rectifier, which is a typical energy harvester interface circuit, and synchronous piezoelectric energy harvest interface circuit by using board-level simulation. As a result, the output power of a synchronous electric charge extraction(: SECE) circuit is about four times larger than that of the full bridge rectifier, and there is little load variation. And a high voltage comparator, which is essential for the SECE circuit for the piezoelectric energy harvester with an output voltage of 40V or more, was designed using 0.35 um BCD process. The SECE circuit using the designed high-voltage comparator proved that the output power is 427 % higher than the FBR circuit.

In this paper, we propose an asynchronous UWB (Ultra Wide Band) Positioning scheme that can provide precise positioning performance with low complexity and low power consumption. We also present the residual test to improve the positioning performance in multipath channels having heavy NLoS (Non-Line of Sight) components. As compared to conventional ToA (Time of Arrival) positioning scheme that requires round-trip transmissions as many as the number of beacons, the proposed UWB positioning scheme effectively decrease power consumption and processing delay since a single round-trip transmission is only required. Also, as compared to conventional TDoA (Time Difference of Arrival) positioning scheme requiring precise synchronization among the beacons, asynchronous nature of the proposed scheme achieves very low system complexity. Through simulations in LoS (Line of Sight) channel models, we observe that the proposed scheme requires low system complexity, low power consumption, while providing positioning performance of almost the same accuracy as the conventional ToA and TDoA positioning schemes. In addition, the proposed scheme by employing the residual test achieves accurate positioning performance even in multipath channels having heavy NLoS components.

Most existing mobile distance learning systems are asynchronous ones that allow students to download lecture video and presentation material. However, there are a few synchronous real-time mobile distance learning systems that support slide, annotation, feedback from student, and lecture video and audio at the same time. These live mobile distance learning systems have an advantage of supporting real-time interaction between students and a lecturer thereby making students understand the lecture better. But, they also have a disadvantage in the sense that they don't allow students to experience the past lecture. This problem can be solved by recording and replaying lecture session. So far, there are few mobile distance learning systems that support session recording and replay. This paper presents a synchronous mobile distance learning system that supports video and audio, slide with annotation, and real-time feedback from students, as well as session recording and replay, which is not supported by the existing mobile distance learning systems. The evaluation of the system among students shows that 61.3% of them were satisfied while 3.2% weren't.

최근의 과학 실험은 그 규모나 내용에 있어서 점차 대형화되는 동시에 복잡해지고 있다. 이로 인하여 다양한 측정 장비로부터 도출된 실험 결과를 효율적으로 분석, 관리, 종합하는 도구의 필요성이 커지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 원격 측정 장치로부터 서로 다른 포맷의 실험 데이터를 자동 수집한 후 이중 정제한 데이터들만 추출하여 웹에서 시각화하는 실험 데이터 통합 관리 시스템을 제안한다. 먼저 원격 측정 장치의 데이터를 자동으로 수집하기 위해 폴링 서버를 설계하여 장치마다 폴링 에이전트를 도입하였다. 이를 통해 관리자가 각 측정 장치에 직접 접근하지 않고도 데이터를 수집할 수 있다. 폴링으로 확보한 데이터는 파싱을 통해 정제하고, 이들 데이터로 데이터베이스를 구축한다. 정제한 데이터는 시각화하여 사용자가 웹에서 쉽게 파악할 수 있다. 데이터 폴링은 TCP/IP Socket을 통해 수행하므로 보편적으로 사용하는 FTP 방식에 비해 데이터 확보 시 신뢰성을 높일 수 있으며, 폴링 여부 판단 시에는 동기식, 실제 폴링 시에는 비동기식 통신 방법을 사용하여 폴링의 효율을 높였다. 본 시스템을 활용하여 사용자의 임의적인 데이터 접근을 최소화하였고 데이터의 전송, 저장, 관리를 자동화함으로써 편의성을 높였다. 본 시스템을 활용하여 원격 실험 장치로부터 데이터를 확보할 때의 정확성과 폴링 및 파싱 속도를 실험을 통해 측정하였고, 그 결과 폴링 시 100%의 정확도와 정상 포맷의 데이터에 대해서 100%의 파싱 결과를 보임으로써 본 시스템이 원격 장치의 실험 데이터를 통합 관리할 때 적합함을 알 수 있었다. 추후 데이터의 속성에 따라 클러스터링 할 예정이며 클러스터링에 따른 시각화 서비스를 제공할 계획이다.

This paper analyzes the power allocation scheme to maximize the sum-rate for heterogeneous networks based on asynchronous time division duplex. We consider heterogeneous networks where a small cell exists in the macro cell coverage and the small cell and the macro cell share the same time-frequency resources. We formulate the optimization problem which maximizes the sum-rate of the heterogeneous network subject to the target signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. We analyze the feasible region in order for the optimal solution to exists and the optimal power allocation scheme for maximizing the sum-rate. Simulation results show that the proposed power allocation schemes outperform the maximum power transmission scheme.

The short-range communication module was developed in this paper which is suitable for the point-to-multipoint circumstances of 40 terminals communicating frequently in about 50 meters. The media access control layer of this communication module using asynchronous time-division multiplexing provides a fast and robust performance even in the worst case of simultaneous transmission events, and low packet error rate was measured a in LOS (Line-of-sight) circumstance by adding the function of acknowledge response to media access control layer. The difference test was carried out in order to measure the performance of point-to-multipoint communication. Two communication modules are respectively measured and graphed in 10 branches to 40 branches. The communication module developed in this paper showed a faster performance than the commercial Zigbee module in the specific case presented in this paper. Especially, in over 20 branches showed wide differences of the transmission speed. This results is caused by more network overhead of Zigbee whose wider applications needs the network layer and applicaiton layer besides media access control layer. Also, the asynchronous time-division multiplexing proposed in this paper are more suitable than CSMA-CA of Zigbee module when a lot of module ought to be frequently communicated in small area.

Wireless network has been used in many applications due to its advantages such as convenience, mobility, productivity, easy deployment, easy expandability and low cost. When it comes to stability, wireless network still shows its limitation which makes it difficult to be used for real-time control system. One of the first problems of using wireless network for control system is clock synchronization. There have been synchronization schemes proposed for wired networked control system as well as wireless network. But these should not be applied directly in wireless network control system. In this paper, we point out the importance of clock synchronization in wireless network control system. Then based on the characteristic of wireless networked control system, we propose a clock synchronization scheme for it. Furthermore, we simulate our scheme and compare with previous synchronization scheme in wired and wireless environments.
