It is well-known that the performance of turbo codes can be improved by allocating different energies per code symbol. In this paper, based on this observation, we propose a joint encoding and modulation scheme for quadrature amplitude modulated turbo code systems. In the proposed scheme, the amount of energy difference between the turbo coded symbols is optimized by optimizing the constellation of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). The proposed scheme offers better coding gain compared to the conventional combination of binary turbo code and QAM at the bit error rate of 10$^{-5}$. Also, the performance of binary turbo codes with the proposed QAM constellation for various code symbol mapping strategies are verified.

In this paper, we propose a new design method of signal constellation of the spiral quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) exploiting a modified gradient descent search algorithm and its binary mapping rule. Unlike the conventional method, the new method, which uses and the constellation optimization algorithm and the maximum number of iterations as a parameter for the iterative design, is more robust to phase noise. And the proposed binary mapping rule significantly reduces the average Hamming distance of the spiral constellation. As a result, the proposed spiral QAM constellation has much improved error performance compared to the conventional ones even in a very severe phase noise environment. It is, therefore, considered that the proposed QAM may be a useful modulation format for coherent optical communication systems and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems.

In this paper, design of a new 3-dimensional (3-D) 16-ary signal constellation with constant envelope is presented and analyzed. Unlike the conventional 16-ary constellations, all signal points of the new constellation are uniformly located on the surface of a sphere so that they have a unique amplitude level and a symmetrical structure. When average power of the constellations is normalized, the presented 16-ary constellation has around 11.4% increased minimum Euclidean distance (MED) as compared to the conventional ones that have non-constant envelope. As a result, a digital communication system which exploits the presented constellation has 1.2dB improved symbol error rate (SER). While signal points of the conventional constant-envelope constellation are not distributed uniformly on the surface of a sphere, those of the proposed constellation has a completely symmetric distribution. In addition, the new signal constellation has much lower computational complexity for practical implementation than the conventional one. Hence, the proposed 3-D 16-ary signal constellation is appropriate for the application to a communication system which strongly requires a constant-envelope characteristic.

In this paper, we design and implement the simulator for the transmitter and receiver of 4D-8PSK TCM with 2.0, 2.25, 2.5, and 2.75 bits/symbol-channel transmission efficiency recommended by the CCSDS for satellite communications, and then analyze the BER performance of 4D-8PSK TCM system in AWGN channel. The transmitter of 4D-8PSK TCM is designed in accordance with the recommendation in the CCSDS standard. Meanwhile, for the receiver design of 4D-8PSK TCM, we design the differential decoder generalizing the differential encoder/decoder scheme. The trellis decoding algorithm is designed by applying the auxiliary trellis information and the Viterbi algorithm, and an 8-dimensional constellation mapper equation given in the CCSDS standard is deconstructed to design constellation mapper. Especially, we present the optimized receiver for 4D-8PSK TCM system by investigating the BER performances for the traceback lengths in the Viterbi decoder through computer simulations..

Tone injection scheme has been known as one of peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction methods deployable to multi-carrier system like orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The basic idea in tone injection scheme is to enforce the constellation size larger so that each of original constellation points is mapped into the preassigned distinct locations. According to the tone injection scheme, it increases symbol power highly induced inherently by expanding constellation to get optimal PAPR reduction. In the other hand, to get optimal power increase, the PAPR would be reduced insufficiently with limited tone injection signal. To withstand these problems, this paper consider the reduction of the PAPR and power increase problem simultaneously, Toward this, the tone injection scheme accomplished by employing the weighted sum genetic algorithm which has been utilized to solve multi-objective optimization problem (MOOP). The simulation results verifies that the proposed scheme can control the effective PAPR performance and alleviation of power increase flexibly by the weight value at the expense of relatively low complexity.

해양쓰레기는 해안의 심미적 가치 저하뿐만 아니라 생태계 파괴, 유령 어업에 따른 수산업 피해 등의 사회적·환경적 문제를 발생시키며, 그중 70% 이상은 육상 기인으로 플라스틱 및 기타 쓰레기가 주를 이루는 해외와 달리 국내의 경우 다량의 초목류를 포함하고 있다. 다양한 부유쓰레기에 대한 기존의 해양쓰레기량 추정의 한계와 하천·하구 쓰레기 수거의 효율화를 위해 해양으로 유입되는 부유쓰레기 방지를 위한 실효성 있는 대책 수립이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구는 해양 유입 전 하천의 차단시설에 차집된 부유쓰레기의 수거 효율화 및 지속가능한 해양쓰레기 데이터 구축을 위해 AI기반의 기술을 통해 부유쓰레기 성상 분석 기법(Object Detection)과 차집량 분석 기법(Semantic Segmentation)을 활용하였다. 실제와 유사한 데이터 수집을 위해 다양한 하천 환경(정수조, 소하천, 급경사수로)에 대해 탁도(녹조, 유사), 광량, 쓰레기형상, 초목류 함량, 날씨(소하천), 유속(급경사수로) 등의 실험조건에 대하여 해양쓰레기 분류 기준 및 통계를 바탕으로 부유쓰레기 종류 선정하여 학습을 위한 데이터를 수집하였다. 학습 목적에 따라 구분하여 라벨링(Bounding box, Polygon)을 수행하고, 각 분석 기법별 전이학습을 통해 Phase 1(정수조), Phase 2(소하천), Phase 3(급경사수로) 순서로 모델을 고도화하였다. 성상 분석을 위해 YOLO v4를 활용하여 Train, Test DataSet(9:1)을 구성하고 학습 및 평가는 Iteration마다의 mAP, loss 값을 통해 비교하였으며, 학습 Phase에 따라 모델 고도화로 Test Set의 mAP 값이 성상별로 높아짐을 확인하였으며, 차집량 분석을 위해 Unet을 활용하여 Train, Test, Validation DataSet(8.5:1:0.5)을 구성하고 epoch별 IoU(intersection over Union), F1-score, loss 값을 비교하여 정성적, 정량적 평가 모두 Phase 3에서 가장 높은 성능을 확인하였다. 향후 하천 환경에서의 다양한 영양인자별 분석을 통해 주요 영향인자 도출 및 Hyper Parameter 최적화를 통한 모델 고도화로 인해 활용성이 높아질 것으로 판단된다.
