Frequency reuse in a cellular wireless communication environment gives rise to a phenomenon of cochannel interference. This paper introduces a power control strategy for OFDM based communication systems operating in such an environment. Among the existing power control schemes, IWF(iterative waterfilling) is known to exhibit relatively good performance. However, it requires feedback of power level and bit allocation information for each subcarrier from a receiver to its associated transmitter, which can lead to a considerable overhead, especially for the case of employing large number of subcarriers. Motivated by this, we present a simplified power control scheme with reduced overhead feedback, which allocates some nonzero identical power to the subcarriers of which channel conditions are above a certain threshold and zero power to the other ones. Computer simulations show that the proposed strategy produces a good approximation to the performance of the IWF in terms of the transmission power level while it requires less overhead feedback.

A topology decreased switching loss and voltage stress by zero voltage switching is presented in this paper. Generally, Switching mode converting productes voltage stress and power losses due to excessive voltage and current. which affect to performance of power supply and reduce overall efficiency of equipments. Virtually, In flyback converter, transient peak voltage and current at switcher are generated by parasitic elements. To solve these problems, present ZVS flyback converter topology applied a auxiliary circuit. Incorporation of auxiliary circuit into a conventional flyback topology serves to reduce power losses and to minimize switching voltage stress. Snubber capacitor in auxiliary circuit serves ZVS state by control voltage variable time at turn on and off of main switch, then reduces voltage stress and power losses. The proposed converter has lossless switching in variable load condition with wide range. A detailed analysis of the circuit is presented and the operation procedure is illustrated. A (50W 100kHz prototype) ZVS flyback converter using a auxiliary circuit is built which shows an efficiency improvement as compared to a conventional hard switching flyback converter.

This paper proposes an estimation algorithm of phase currents of inverter systems with the planar bus bars for brush-less DC (BLDC) motors. The planar bus bar can improve the characteristic of the EMC(Electro-Magnetic Compatibility). In these inverters, a single current sensor of the dc-link measures the sum of a smooth capacitor current and phase currents of brush-less DC motor. Thus, it is essential to extract phase currents from the measured single current to control BLDC motor. Therefore, in this paper, the phase current is estimated by analyzing equivalent circuits of the BLDCM in ON and OFF periods of switching elements. The usefulness of the proposed algorithm is verified through experimental results.

This paper presents an LED backlight driver IC consisting of three linear current regulators and an output-voltage regulation loop with a self-adjustable reference voltage. In the proposed LED driver, the output voltage is controlled by dual feedback loops. The first loop senses and controls the output voltage, and the second loop senses the voltage drop of the linear current regulator and adjusts the reference voltage. With these feedback loops, the voltage drop of the linear current regulator is maintained at a minimum value, at which the driver efficiency is maximized. The output of the driver is a three-channel LED setup with four LEDs in each channel. The luminance is adjusted by the PWM dimming signal. The proposed driver is designed by a $0.35-{\mu}m$ 60-V high-voltage process, resulting in an experimental maximum efficiency of approximately 85%.

We designed and implemented the attachable smart adapter for the general management of each company's agricultural machine regardless of whether it is equipped with a CAN (Controller Area Network) module. The smart adapter consists of a main board (Raspberry Pi3B), which operates agricultural machine's management software in Linux environment, and a self-developed interface board for power adjustment and status sensing. For the status monitoring, a sensing interface using a serial input was defined between the smart adapter and the sensors of the agricultural machine, and the state diagram of the agricultural machine was defined for diagnosis. We made a panel to simulate the sensors of the agricultural machine using the switch's on/off contact point, and confirmed the status monitoring and diagnostic functions by inputting each state of the farm machinery from the simulator panel.

The purpose of this study is to suggest functional priority to increase probability to be adopted by single-person household by designating single-person household as potential early adopter of smart home service. Smart home service is spread slowly for its value. This study applied diffusion of innovations theory to solve this problem. Single-person household who has no other family member who can take care of household is chosen as potential early adopter. This study tried to find grounds of functional priorities through an online survey. The survey questionnaires were composed as following. First, representative attributes of single- person household were reviewed, then measuring questions according to the attributes were recomposed based upon preceding study. After that, concept and status of smart home service were reviewed. and smart home service functions to be measured in this study were selected through analysis based upon representative cases, then Measuring questionnaire were made were three factors which chosen by referring to preceding study about perceived attributes of innovations applied to selected functions. As a result of analyzed 62 responses, except excluded functions which has perceived any special value, set priorites with 9 functions. These functional priorities obtained from these studies will play a role as fundamental data to provide valuable service to single-person household and have a meaning as a starting point to increase rate of adoption for smart home service.

In 2008, ETRI developed a new mobile digital ID wallet, in which anyone can store personal information and PKI credential. When the wallet is used, privacy protection is one of the most important problems and personal information should be protected under various usage scenarios such as exchanging sensitive information in on/off-line environments, joining as a new member in the web site, etc. In this paper, we propose a triangular trust management scheme that can effectively manage trustness and also protect sensitive personal information. This scheme relies on three techniques: PKI, reputation and condition (situation context). We implemented prototype of our scheme, and tested it under various scenarios, which showed that the proposed scheme can effectively be used for diverse cases.
