실시간 시스템(real-time system)은 논리적 연산을 일정한 시간적 제약 하에서 수행하는 시스템이다. 시간적 제약을 충족하도록 주기적 태스크(periodic task)를 스케줄(schedule)할 때 일반적으로 태스크 오프셋(initial offset)이 0 이거나 고정된 것으로 가정한다. 그러나 오프셋에 약간의 유연성을 허용함으로써 태스크들의 평균 응답 시간을 줄일 수도 있다. 이 논문에서는 주기적 태스크의 오프셋을 주어진 허용 범위 안에서 선택하여 평균 응답 시간(response time)을 최적화할 수 있음을 보이고, 임의의 태스크 집합에 대하여 최적 오프셋이 존재하는 좁은 범위를 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose a complexity reduction method of sample adaptive offset (SAO), which is an in-loop filter in high-efficiency video coding (HEVC). In the conventional SAO, an offset value is calculated for each coding tree block (CTB) to minimize the error between the original and reconstructed images. In order to determine the optimal offset value, all offset candidates are examined and the offset value that leads to the smallest rate-distortion cost is chosen. Thus, SAO occupies a significant amount of the computational complexity in the HEVC encoder. In the proposed method, we determine the least-used band (LUB) by considering the statistical characteristics of offset values and without processing the offset value included in the LUB. Also, in the offset value decision stage, we check only a certain number of candidates rather than all of them. Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces the encoding time by approximately 8.15% without yielding a significant loss in terms of coding efficiency.

In this paper, an enhanced initial ranging algorithm for large-cell coverage fixed wireless communication system is proposed. In typical wireless communication system such as WiBro, because a round-trip delay between a transmitter and a receiver is within one OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbol duration, a frequency-domain differential correlation method is generally used. However, the conventional method cannot be applied due to an increase of a maximum time delay in large-cell system. In case of an accumulative differential method, estimation errors can occur because of frequent sign transitions. In this paper, therefore, we propose an algorithm which can estimate a total timing offset in a ranging channel structure for 15 km cell. The proposed method can improve performance by sign comparison based sign error correction rule between the estimated values and using a weighting scheme based on channel correlation, the number of accumulations, and the noise reduction effect in normalization process. Also, it can estimate the integer timing offset of symbol duration by comparing peak-powers after compensating for the fractional timing offset of symbol duration.

Indoor wireless positioning system uses ranging information of beacons in order to precisely estimate a tag location. To estimate distance between each beacons and tag, the system calculates arrival time of a tag pulse with clock of each beacon including independent clock offset. This clock offset seriously affects the performance of ranging and positioning. We propose in this paper a clock offset compensation method to solve this problem. To verify the performance of the proposed method, we simulated location estimation with random clock offset between -1,000ppm and 1,000ppm, and the result shows that the proposed scheme effectively solves the clock offset problem.

In this paper, the carrier frequency offset estimator is proposed for the China multimedia mobile broadcasting (CMMB). The fractional carrier frequency offset is estimated by utilizing the cyclic prefix in each CMMB symbol. In addition, the integer carrier frequency offset can be estimated with the synchronization signal in every CMMB frame. The proposed estimator is the most suitable for the frame structure of CMMB. It shows a prominent performance even in timing offset and multipath conditions.

본 논문에서는 넓은 영전압 스위칭 범위와 작은 DC 오프셋 전류를 가지는 비대칭 하프-브릿지 컨버터를 제안한다. 기존의 비대칭 하프-브릿지 컨버터는 설계 시 홀드업 시간 만족을 위하여 정상 상태에서 극심한 비대칭 동작을 하게 된다. 이는 변압기의 큰 DC 오프셋 전류, 비대칭 전류 스트레스 등의 문제를 야기하며 이로 인하여 전반적인 변환 효율이 감소하게 된다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여, 제안하는 컨버터는 정상 상태에서 비대칭 동작을 최소화하고 낮은 입력전압에서 추가 스위치를 동작시킴으로써 커뮤테이션 구간을 줄여 전압이득을 높인다. 또한 추가 인덕턴스를 사용하여 영전압 스위칭 에너지를 키우고 추가 스위치의 내부 바디 다이오드를 이용하여 2차측 정류단의 전압 스트레스를 줄인다. 이를 통하여 높은 효율을 가지면서 작은 DC 오프셋 전류를 가지는 비대칭 하프-브릿지 컨버터를 제안하였으며, 500W의 프로토타입 컨버터를 제작하고 실험을 통해 이를 검증하였다.

본 논문은 OFDM 방식의 고속 광대역 모뎀의 주파수 오프셋을 추정하고 보상하는 알고리즘에 관한 것이다. 설계된 주파수 오프셋 추정 및 보상 알고리즘은 프리앰블 구간에서 초기 CFO(carrier frequency offset)를 추정 및 보상하고, 데이터 전송구간에도 잔류 CFO를 추정하고 보상하도록 동작한다. 초기 CFO보상은 시간축에서 동작하고, 잔류 CFO 보상은 FEQ 뒤에서 파일럿 캐리어의 정보를 이용하여 이루어진다. 잔류 주파수 오프셋을 보상할 때에는 ADC/DAC의 SFO(sampling frequency offset)도 추정하여 잔류 CFO와 동시에 보상하게 된다.

It is important to know phase offsets of PN (Pseudo Noise) sequences in spread spectrum communications since the acquisition is equivalent to make a phase offset between a receiving PN sequence and a PN sequence of local PN generator be identical. In this paper, a phase offset enumeration method for PN sequences with error detection, and its application to the synchronization are proposed. The phase offset enumeration far an n-tuple PN sequence and its error detection are performed when one period of the sequence is received. Once the phase offset of the receiving sequence is calculated, we can easily accomplish the synchronization by initializing shift registers of a local PN generator according to the phase offset value. The mean acquisition time of the proposed synchronization method is derived analytically, and we see that the method acquires very fast acquisition in the high SNR (Signal-to- Noise Ratio) environment.

In this paper, we propose the algorithm to reduce guard time of UWB MAC time slot for throughput gain. In the proposed draft by multiband ofdm alliance (MBOA), Guard time of each medium access slot (MAS) is composed of shortest inter-frame space (SIFS) and MaxDrift which is the time caused by maximum frequency offset among devices. In this paper, to reduceguard time means that we nearly eliminate MaxDrift term from guard time. Each device of a piconet computes relative frequency offset from the device initiating piconet using periodically consecutive transferred beacon frames. Each device add or subtract the calculated relative frequency offset to the estimated each MAS starting point in order to synchronize with calculated MAS starting point of the device initiating piconet. According to verification of simulations, if the frequency offset estimator is implemented with 8 decimal bit, the ratio of the wasted time to Superframe is always less than 0.0001.
