스마트 폰을 비롯한 모바일 기기들은 멀티미디어 정보를 포함하는 대용량 무선 데이터 서비스를 위해 진화하고 있다. 이에 따라 통신 서비스 제공업체의 네트워크들은 점점 더 복잡해지고 다양한 서비스를 위한 장비들로 구성되고 있다. 스몰셀 기지국(access point, Henb)들은 기존의 매크로셀과 같이 이동통신 사업자에 의해 지정된 최적의 위치에 설치되는 것이 아니고 사용자가 개별적으로 구매하여 설치하기 때문에, 셀의 배치를 위한 지역적인 설계가 없다. 따라서 스몰셀 기지국 스스로가 주변 환경을 탐지하여, 각종 파라미터를 최적으로 설정하는 것을 기본 성능으로 요구한다. 이에 따라, 과거 일정한 커버리지를 갖는 소형의 기지국 장비들을 지칭하던 펨토셀, 피코셀 등의 명칭도 현재에는 적응적인 커버리지 조절의 기능을 고려하여 스몰셀(small cell)로 통칭되고 있다. 스몰셀 기술은, 3GPP에서 스몰셀 기술이 제안되기 시작하면서 급증하고 있으며 국내외 학계와 업계가 표준을 기반으로 하는 R&D와 특허 출원을 현재에도 진행하고 있다. 각 국가들의 스몰셀 기술은 현재까지 발전기에 속하여 앞으로도 지속적인 연구개발과 표준화, 그리고 특허 출원으로 이어지는 국가간의 경쟁이 치열할 것으로 전망된다. 본 고에서는 스몰셀 표준을 통해 세부 기술을 도출하고, 이로부터 관련 특허를 검색하고 분석하여 향후 표준 특허로 확보하는 방법론을 제시한다.

Inside a rotorcraft fuel cell, pipes and components are located for fuel storage and fuel supply into the engine. Utility helicopters, operated in battle fields, fly at lower altitude compared to fixed-wing aircraft and hence are more likely to be exposed to gunfire. Since internal pressure of fluid increases when hit, the effect on LRU due to increase in pressure must taken into account when designing the aircraft for survivability. However, it is costly and time consuming to manufacture a fuel cell for gunfire test, and due to constraints from usage of live ammunition, related data gathered through numerical simulation is needed. In this study, numerical simulation on rotorcraft fuel cell exposed to gunfire was carried out using Autodyn to analyze bullet movement inside the fuel cell after hit, and internal pressure of fluid and equivalent stress on fuel cell assessed.

In cellular mobile radio systems with frequency reuse, the interference signals degrade the channel estimation and signal detection performance due to the low signal-to-interference ratio near coverage boundaries. When the preamble pilot sequences from different cells are orthogonal or located in disjointed positions, they can be used for multi-cell channel estimation and interference cancellation. In time-varying channels caused by Doppler spread, data pilot symbols are needed for channel estimations. However, data pilot symbols are usually located in identical positions for the overhead reduction, which degrades the channel estimation performance. In this paper, we demonstrate a significant amount of performance improvement is achieved by multiplying different pseudonoise(PN) sequences to the data pilot symbols from adjacent interference cells. In particular, for detection scheme using maximal ratio combining(MRC) and inter-cell spatial demultiplexing(ISD), quantitative performance gain of spectral efficiency for different values of Doppler frequency and interference power is presented.

This study was conducted to investigate the feeding effect of selenium provided by different sources on the physico-chemical properties of M. longissimus thoracis. Twenty Hanwoo steers(20～24 months, approximately 613kg) were assigned to 4 different feeding groups of each five, depending on the sources of selenium such as inorganic selenium(sodium selenite), organic selenium(Yeast, USA Sel-Plex), Se-SMC(Se-spent mushroom compost) and the control(no selenium). The selenium level in feed was 0.9 ppm for all groups except the control. Animals were fed with different feeding treatments for 12 weeks and slaughtered at National Livestock Research Institute. The inorganic selenium group had the highest cooking loss(CL. %) and followed by the Se-SMC group and organic selenium group. No significant differences in chemical composition, WB-shear forces, water-holding capacity(WHC) and sensory properties were found among the groups(P>0.05). There were 40% frequencies of grade A in the inorganic selenium group and followed by the organic selenium group(20%). Se-SMC group had 80% of frequencies for grade 1+ and followed by the inorganic selenium group(40%), whereas the organic selenium group and the control group had the 20% frequencies for grade 1+. From the results of this study showed that the selenium sources did not affect chemical composition, WHC and tenderness of Hanwoo steers. However, the inorganic selenium group had the highest cooking loss(%) and lowest pH when compared to the other groups.

Rapid advances in mobile computing and the availability of wireless communications will soon provide mobile users with the ability to access data regardless of the location of the user or of the data. SRA(Static Replica Allocation) that is traditional scheme has been used for the replication method on the server. This replicates the data on the replica server after a moving host has been transferred to the cell. This strategy is simple and can easily relocate data. However, if a mobile user does not exist in the cell, the replicated data can be deleted in order to maintain data consistency. In addition to, if the mobile host leaves from replicated cell, it is difficult to access data in terms of replication route. Therefore, this paper proposes a new method of relocation based on data consistency strategy called USRAC(User Selection Replica Allocation based on Consistency) and also analyzes access cost according to the moving rate of mobile users, according to the access rate of mobile hosts, and according to the number of cells of mobile users and mobile hosts.

The present USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Networks) node deployment practices have many limitations in terms of positional connectivity. The aim of this research was to minimize a redundancy of USN route nodes, by integrating spatially weighted parameters such as visibility, proximity to cell center, road density, building density and cell overlapping ratio into a comprehensive GIS database. This spatially weighted approach made it possible to reduce the number of route nodes (11) required in the study site as compared to that of the grid network method (24). The field test for RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) indicates that the spatially weighted deployment could comply with the quality assurance standard for node connectivity, and that reduced route nodes do not show a significant degree of signal fluctuation for different site conditions. This study demonstrated that the spatially weighted deployment can be used to minimize a redundancy of USN route nodes in a routine manner, and the quantitative evidence removing a redundancy of USN route nodes could be utilized as major tools to ensure the strong signal in the USN, that is frequently encountered in real applications.

A 3D-ray tracing tool is a software considering reflection, penetration, and diffraction of the signals to provide accuracy. To provide communication resources effectively, communication standards adopt Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) that includes small cells. A 3D performance evaluation methodology becomes more and more important since the coverage of the small cell networks is narrower than that of the macro cell networks. It is difficult to directly apply conventional 2D mathematical models due to the complexity of small cell network; since they have many considerations such as topography, placement of buildings and 3D beamforming techniques. In this paper, we introduce an effective performance evaluation methodology for small cell networks using 3D-ray tracing tool. From simulation results, we conclude that new performance evaluation methodologies by using 3D-ray tracing tool is more suitable than conventional methodology for small cell networks.

This paper proposes the modified image method scheme to search the reflected points and the method to calculate the number of rays. These methods are applied to the ray tracing technique for received power and delay profile prediction in microcelular environment. With ray tracing model using these methods, we show the simulated results for various environmental structures. To demonstrate the validity of this approach, these simulated results are compared and analysed with measured results in apartment towns along the street. In addition we proposed the optimum number of multipath rays with the results in microcellular environment.

This paper presents a concurrent design approach that deals with manufacturing cell formation and cellular layout in Cellular Manufacturing System. Manufacturing cell formation is to group machines into machine cells dedicated to manufacture of part families, and cellular layout problem determines layout of the manufacturing cells within shop and layout of the machines within a cell. In this paper, a concurrent approach for design of machine cell and cellular layout is developed considering manufacturing parameters such as alternative process plans, alternative machines, production volume and processing time of part, and cost per unit time of operation. A mathematical model which minimizes total cost consisting of machine installation cost, machine operating cost, and intercell and intracell movements cost of part is proposed. A hybrid method based on genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the manufacturing cell formation and cellular layout design problem concurrently. The performance of the hybrid method is examined on several problems.
