The existing protocol which processes sequentially synchronization has the problem where synchronization tasks which are requested subsequently from multiple client. Should be waited for a long time. In this paper, we propose a implementation of concurrent synchronization protocol that is capable of reducing the waiting time. If there are no update conflicts among different synchronization tasks, the proposed protocol synchronizes using the multi-queue based on the round-robin scheme, in order to reduce the waiting time.

This paper derives and computes the detection probability of timing synchronization in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system encountered with a multipath Rayleigh fading channel and imperfect noise estimation. The timing synchronization scheme using a simple repeated constant amplitude zero auto-correlation (CAZAC) training symbol and correlation techniques is adopted. With this provision, we focus on the numerical analysis for OFDM timing synchronization scheme employing a preadvancement technique to reduce the inter-symbol interference (ISI). For measuring system performance, the detection performance derived in the considered system is presented in a multipath Rayleigh fading channel.

In this paper, we proposed new fast scattered pilot synchronization techniques to reduce the burst synchronization time for the DVB-H receiving system with robustness. DVB-H terminals employ a TDM system called 'Time-Slicing' to reduce power consumption. In order to fully exploit the potential power reduction, the synchronization time for the DVB-H receiver must be very short. A typical DVB-T system uses the TPS Synchronization to determine the position of scattered pilots which are used for channel estimation, and it takes 68 OFDM symbol time. In this paper, several new fast scattered pilot synchronization techniques are proposed.

이 연구는 DVB-H 수신기의 전력소모를 줄이기 위한 새로운 동기방법을 제안하였다. DVB-H 시스템에서는 수신기의 전력소모글 줄이기 위하여 Time-Slicing 방법을 사용하는데 버스트 주기가 작을수록 수신기의 유효동작시간 이 줄어들게 되어 전력소모가 감소된다. 수신기의 유효동작시간에는 버스트를 동기화하기 위한 시간이 포함되므로 이 동기화시간을 줄이면 DVB-H 수신기의 전력소모를 줄일 수 있다. 제안방식은 한 프레임(68개 OFDM 심볼) 또는 연속된 5개의 OFDM 심볼을 이용하는 기존방식과 달리 이전 수신버스트의 OFDM 심볼 네 개 또는 송신기의 OFDM 심볼 네 개와 현재 수신되는 심볼 1개를 사용하기 때문에 동기시간을 1/68 또는 1/5 까지 줄일 수 있다. 제안방식의 강건성을 분석하기 위하여 다양한 이동수신 채널환경에서 최소보호비를 구하여 기존 방식과 비교 분석하였다.

The sensor networks can be used attractively for various application areas. Time synchronization is important for any Ubiquitous Sensor Networks (USN) systems. USN makes extensive use of synchronized time in many contexts for data fusion. However existing time synchronization protocols are available only for homogeneous sensor nodes of USN. It needs to be extended or redesigned in order to apply to the USN with heterogeneous sensor nodes. Because heterogeneous sensor nodes have different clock sources with the SinkNode of USN, it is impossible to be synchronized global time. In addition, energy efficiency is one of the most significant factors to influence the design of sensor networks, as sensor nodes are limited in power, computational capacity, and memory. In this paper, we propose specific time synchronization based on master-slave topology for the global time synchronization of USN with heterogeneous sensor nodes. The time synchronization master nodes are always able to be synchronized with the SinkNode. Then time synchronization master nodes enable time synchronization slave nodes to be synchronized sleep periods. The proposed master-slave time synchronization for heterogeneous sensor nodes of USN is also helpful for power saving by maintaining maximum sleep time.

Participants of a NVE(networked virtual environment) may have different hardwares and network environments, and to guarantee the fairness, messages of participants should be synchronized. A solution for the synchronization problem is to wait for a certain amount of time until the server processes the message. It is not easy to determine a suitable waiting period because of the trade-off between the fairness and the responsiveness. In this paper we propose a method to decide a waiting period by considering only the participants with small network delays and perform experiments for the performance evaluation. Experiments show that the proposed method leads to significant improvement of responsiveness, while retaining fairness.

Recently, IEC 61850 supports the standardized communication technique in both station bus and process bus, and presents substation automation model. In order to implement the IEC 61850 based communication in a substation using the MU (merging unit) which is one of the important data acquisition equipments in substation automation, the time synchronization is demanded for cooperative operation between the devices. This paper proposes the precision time synchronization technique using IRIG-B protocol to develop the MU under IEC 61850 communication protocol. The proposed technique is implemented and its performance is verified experimentally.

블록체인은 모든 참여자가 동일한 원장을 유지하는 분산 원장 기술로써, 신규로 참여하는 블록체인 노드는 원장을 동일하게 유지하기 위한 동기화 절차를 거쳐야 한다. 일반적으로, 동기화는 블록체인 상의 모든 블록을 순차적으로 적용하는 과정을 거처야 함으로 많은 시간이 걸리게 된다. 본 논문에서는 ETRI에서 자체 개발한 PON 기반 블록체인에서 동기화 성능을 개선하기 위해 비잔틴 환경에서 병렬적으로 동기화 요청하는 고속 병렬 동기화 모드와 최신 상태만 동기화하는 최신 상태동기화 모드를 개발하였다. 성능 평가 결과 100,000 개 블록 동기화시 고속 병렬 동기화 모드가 기본 동기화 대비 5 배, 최신 상태 동기화 모드가 기본 동기화 대비 880 배 빠른 것을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a prototype realization of multi-view HD video transport system with synchronized multiplexing over IP networks. The proposed synchronized multiplexing considers the synchronization during video acquisition and the multiplexing for the interactive view-selection during transport. For the synchronized acquisition from multiple HDV camcorders through IEEE 1394 interface, we estimate the timeline differences among MPEG-2 compressed video streams by using global time of network between the cameras and a server and correct timelines of video streams by changing the time stamp of the MPEG-2 system stream. Also, we multiplex a selected number of acquired HD views at the MPEG-2 TS (transport stream) level for the interactive view-selection during transport. Thus, with the proposed synchronized multiplexing scheme, we can display synchronized HD view.
