For the flexible frequency utilization, cognitive radio technique has been prominently considered. The most important requirement in cognitive radio networks is to protect the communications of primary users. Spectrum sensing task by secondary users should be seriously considered in cognitive radio networks, since the spectrum sensing process makes their current quality of service worse. In this paper, we propose the channel sensing scheduling method that keeps the requirements for protecting the primary and guarantee the secondary user's quality of service as possible. The quality of service of secondary user is analyzed in terms of packet delay and loss while the protection-requirements in terms of sensing interval and sensing time predefined. In numerical analysis, we can get appropriate parameters which guarantee QoS in various environment. And simulation results show that this method can improve the performance, delay and the number of transmitted packets against consecutive sensing method.

Beacon transmission is one of the fundamental mechanisms in vehicular ad hoc networks. Variety services including context awareness can be embodied by exchanging beacons in each vehicle. In this paper, we propose dual beacon transmission instead of traditional single beacon transmission for beaconing mechanism. dual beacon transmission divides beacon into two functions and operates two beaconing process independently. We verified the superiority of dual beacon transmission by comparing beacon packet delivery ratio with single beacon transmission. In conclusion, dual beacon transmission can reduce channel load and have both wider communication range and effective context awareness. In addition, implementing dual beacon transmission has less complexity and appliable with conventional adaptive beaconing schemes.

Prognostics and health management(PHM) is actively utilized by industry as an essential technology focusing on accurately monitoring the health state of a system and predicting the remaining useful life(RUL). An effective PHM is expected to reduce maintenance costs as well as improve safety of system by preventing failure in advance. With these advantages, PHM can be applied to the battery system which is a core element to provide electricity for devices with mobility, since battery faults could lead to operational downtime, performance degradation, and even catastrophic loss of human life by unexpected explosion due to non-linear characteristics of battery. In this paper we mainly review a recent progress on various models for predicting RUL of battery with high accuracy satisfying the given confidence interval level. Moreover, performance evaluation metrics for battery prognostics are presented in detail to show the strength of these metrics compared to the traditional ones used in the existing forecasting applications.

Noise cancellation is essential for the devices which use speech as an interface. In real environments, speech quality and recognition rates are degraded by the auditive noises coming near the microphone. In this paper, we propose a noise cancellation algorithm using stereo microphones basically. The advantage of the use of multiple microphones is that the direction information of the target source could be applied. The proposed noise canceller is based on the Wiener filter. To estimate the filter, noise and target speech frequency responses should be known and they are estimated by the spectral classification in the frequency domain. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with that of the well-known Frost algorithm and the generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) with an adaptation mode controller (AMC). As performance measures, the perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ), which is the most widely used among various objective speech quality methods, and speech recognition rates are adopted.

Cloud computing emerges as a new paradigm for deploying, managing and offering IT resources as a service anytime, anywhere on any devices. Cloud computing data center stores many IT resources through resource integration. So cloud computing system has to be designed by technology and policy to make effective use of IT resources. In other words, cloud vendor has to provide high quality services to all user and mitigate the dissipation of IT resources. However, vendors need to predict the performance of cloud services and the use of IT resources before releasing cloud service. For solving the problem, this research presents cloud service modeling on network environment and evaluation index for availability optimization of cloud service. We also study how to optimize an amount of requested cloud service and performance of datacenter using CloudSim toolkit.

Recently, many researchers have studied to solve the energy consumption of network equipments since the interest of Green IT has been increased. In this paper, we apply Low Power Idle (LPI) to OBS network to reduce energy consumption of network devices. Many previous researches have focused on maximizing the sleep time of network equipments to increase the energy saving efficiency of LPI. But transition overhead caused by LPI might not only depreciate the performance of energy saving but also increase packet delay. In this paper, Transition Decision (TD) algorithm is proposed to improve energy saving efficiency by reducing the number of unnecessary transition and guarantee the required QoS such as packet delay. To evaluate the performance of proposed algorithm, we model OBS edge router with LPI by OPNET and analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm in views of energy saving, transition count and average packet delay.

Overall, accuracy as a performance measure does not fully consider modular accuracy: the accuracy of classifying 1 (or true) as 1 is not same as classifying 0 (or false) as 0. A smarter classification algorithm would optimize the classification rules to match the modular accuracies' goals according to the nature of problem. Correspondingly, smarter algorithms must be both more generalized with respect to the nature of problems, and free from decretization, which may cause distortion of the real performance. Hence, in this paper, we propose a novel vertical boosting algorithm that improves modular accuracies. Rather than decretizing items, we use simple classifiers such as a regression model that accepts continuous data types. To improve the generalization, and to select a classification model that is well-suited to the nature of the problem domain, we developed a model selection algorithm with smartness. To show the soundness of the proposed method, we performed an experiment with a real-world application: predicting the intellectual properties of e-transaction technology, which had a 47,000+ record data set.

In this paper, we propose a smart meter that uses GRU model, which is one of artificial neural networks, for the efficient energy management. We collected power consumption data that train GRU model through the proposed smart meter. The implemented smart meter has automatic power measurement and real-time observation function and load control function through power consumption prediction. We determined a reference value to control the load by using Root Mean Squared Error (RMS), which is one of performance evaluation indexes, with 20% margin. We confirmed that the smart meter with automatic load control increases the efficiency of energy management.

This study was conducted to evaluate the indole acetic acid (IAA) formation in soils as a biological indicator for the health of rice paddy soils with control, nitrogen sole, chemical fertilizer (NPK), and chemical fertilizer plus compost (CNPK) plots. There was a positive relationship between colorimetric method and high performance liquid chromatography for IAA in soils determined, and the values were similar between two methods, as $0.83{\sim}1.23{\mu}g\;IAA\;g^{-1}h^{-1}$ in colorimetric method, $0.80{\sim}1.29{\mu}g\;IAA\;g^{-1}h^{-1}$ in HPLC method. Numbers of dehydrogenase-producing bacteria and the IAA production in soils were high in NPK and CNPK plots comparing with control and nitrogen sole plots. Also there was high correlation between numbers of dehydrogenase-producing bacteria and IAA production in soils.

도시 유역의 강우-유출 모의에는 지표 투수율 및 하수관거 영향 등 인위적 배수계통의 영향을 고려할 수 있는 도시유출모형이 널리 이용되고 있으며, 모형 검증을 통해 모의 성능을 평가한다. 도시유출모형의 검증은 일반적인 강우-유출 모형과 같이 강우사상별 유량의 관측시계열과 모의시계열의 목적함수가 최소가 되는 최적 매개변수를 탐색하는 과정이다. 도시유출모형의 검증에서 발생하는 문제점은 크게 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대규모 도시 유역의 복잡하고 다양한 하수관거에 대한 최적매개변수를 관거별로 구하는 것은 물리적으로 불가능하다. 따라서 동일 배수분구내 하수관거의 매개변수 값은 동일하다고 가정하거나, 모형 단순화 과정을 통해 매개변수의 물리적 범위 내에서 최적해를 탐색해야 하는 단순화에서 기인한 불확실성이 있다. 둘째, 다양한 매개변수들의 물리적 범위를 고려하기 위해서는 전역최적화기법이 유효하다. 그러나 전역최적화 종류, 목적함수, 모의횟수, 목표성능별 최적 매개변수 결과가 각각 다르므로 추정된 최적 매개변수의 범위에 대한 불확실성이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Bayesian 모형과 EPA SWMM(Storm Water Management Model)을 연계하여 도시유출모형의 매개변수 불확실성을 정량적으로 분석할 수 있는 모형을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 서울 우이천 유역을 대상으로 SWMM 모형을 구축하고, 절단 정규분포(truncated Gaussian distribution)를 사전분포(prior)로 가정하여 매개변수의 물리적 범위를 고려하였다. 최종적으로 결합확률분포로 계산된 각 매개변수간 사후분포를 통해 모의된 유출량의 불확실성을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 모형은 대규모 도시 유역의 도시유출모형 구축 시 다양한 매개변수의 물리적 범위를 고려한 최적화와 동시에 내재된 불확실성을 정량적으로 분석할 수 있으므로, 침수예측 및 홍수예경보 등의 문제에서 상당한 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
