An analytical method for identifying terrestrial broadcasting coverages is proposed for a terrestrial broadcasting transmission system adopting a hierarchical modulation technique. Bit Error Rates(BERs) are derived for hierarchically modulated non-uniform QAM constellations based on the Q-function analysis in AWGN environments. The derived BERs depend on the hierarchical modulation factor ${\alpha}$(HMF) and could be mapped to the broadcasting coverages according to the link budget analysis based on the log-distance path loss model. Finally the broadcasting coverage ratios for high priority(HP) streams and low priority(LP) streams are calculated and presented for the determination of the HMF.

HAP(High Altitude Platform) systems have been proposed due to their unique advantages over terrestrial and satellite systems as the alternative wireless communication system to deliver the third generation IMT-2000 wireless services. It has been required to study for the power control in W-CDMA HAP system as well as the terrestrial mobile system in order to mitigate interference and increase the capacity. In this paper, a new power control has been proposed for HAP system considering the interference profile into the DB(distributed balancing) SIR(signal to interference ratio)-based algorithm which has been considered in terrestrial system, and estimated by the outage performance of the proposed DB algorithm is better remarkably than DBPA(distance-based power allocation) which is proposed for HAP system, and it is the same regardless of the antenna maximum gain and its sidelobe characteristics.

It is necessary to develop an integration model which can account for various data acquired at different measurement scales in environmental thematic mapping with high-resolution ground survey data and relatively low-resolution remote sensing data. This paper presents and applies a multi-scale geostatistical methodology for downscaling of thematic maps generated from lowresolution remote sensing data. This methodology extends a traditional ordinary kriging system to a block kriging system which can account for both ground data and remote sensing data which can be regarded as point and block data, respectively. In addition, stochastic simulation based on block kriging is also applied to describe spatial uncertainty attached to the downscaling. Two downscaling experiments including SRTM DEM and MODIS Leaf Area Index (LAI) products were carried out to illustrate the applicability of the geostatistical methodology. Through the experiments, multi-scale geostatistics based on block kriging successfully generated relatively high-resolution thematic maps with reliable accuracy. Especially, it is expected that multiple realizations generated from simulation would be effectively used as input data for investigating the effects of uncertain input data on GIS model outputs.

글로벌 위성 기반의 강수량 관측에 대한 역사는 1979년에 Arkin의 의해 제안된 IR방법에 의해 위성으로부터 강우자료를 유도하는 개념이 도입된 이후 1987년 해양에서의 비교적 정확한 강수량 추정이 가능한 다중 채널의 마이크로파(MW) 복사계를 이용한 방법으로 위성강수 추정에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되었다. 이후 두 IR과 MW를 혼합한 방법에서, 또다시 1997년 TRMM위성의 PR(Precpipitation Radar)의 레이더를 이용하는 방법, 그리고 2014년 GPM 핵심 위성(GPM Core Observatory)에 탑재된 Dual PR에 의한 방법으로 위성강수의 정확도를 매우 높여가고 있다. 본 연구는 KOICA 사업으로 진행중인 모로코 세부강 유역 홍수방지 마스터플랜 사업에서 모로코 세부강 유역의 2010년 홍수사상에 대한 위성강우 및 지상계측 일일자료를 이용하여 홍수유출량을 추정하는 것으로 목적으로 하고 있다. 모로코 세부강(Oued Sebou) 유역은 모로코의 서북부에 위치하며 유역면적은 한강유역과 유사한 $38,380km^2$이고 하천연장은 450km로 모로코 국토면적의 약 7% 정도를 차지하며 모로코 농업생산의 중심지역이고 유역의 기후 및 기상 특성은 겨울철 온난다습하고 여름에 고온 건조한 지중해성 기후를 나타내며, 연강수량은 400mm이상으로 보고하고 있다(이산 등, 2015). 유역내 49개 관측소의 일일 강우량 자료를 분석한 결과 2000년부터 2010년까지의 유역 산술평균 강수량은 607.1mm/yr로 분석되었고, 2010년 가장 많은 강수를 기록한 지역은 Jbel oudka로 1874.1mm/yr였고, 가장 적은 강수량을 기록한 지역은 Allal Al Fassi - Barrage로 289.9mm/yr로 나타났다. 2010년 홍수가 발생한 시기인 2009년 12월 19일부터 2010년 1월 18일까지의 1시간 간격의 위성강우자료와 1일 관측 지상계측자료를 합성하여 위성보정강우량을 추정하였다. 보정 방법은 순위상관방법을 적용하였다. 사용한 모형은 일본 ICHARM에서 개발한 IFAS와 한국건설기술연구원의 MapWindow 기반 GRM 모형(mwGRM)을 이용하였다. 모형의 적용 결과 세부강 유역 본류의 첨두유출량은 $6,010m^3/s$(mwGRM)과 $5,878m^3/s$(IFAS)로 분석되었다. 향후 위성강우 및 지상계측 강우의 시계열적 정확도와 총강우량 등의 정확도 평가를 수행할 계획이다.

In underwater communications, there are many challenges due to energy limitations, long propagation delay, low data rate, and high power loss, unlike terrestrial RF communications. Especially, the propagation delay of underwater acoustic channel is five orders of magnitude higher than in electro-magnetic terrestrial channels due to the low speed of sound(1,500m/s). Thus, the MAC protocols for terrestrial communications are not suitable for underwater network. In this paper, we studied the considerations for MAC protocol in underwater acoustic channel. Here, we concentrated on CSMA based MAC protocols. From the results, we confirmed that the number of control packets has an important effect on the performance in underwater environment. These results would be useful in designing MAC protocols for underwater acoustic communications.

Recently, broadcasting technologies have evolved as high-quality AV services such as domestic terrestrial UHD(Ultra-High Definition) broadcasting have been increasing, and broadcasting standards have been newly defined. Also, as network technology develops, contents are consumed not only in the country but also the world. Accordingly, content insertion technology, which is a method of providing suitable contents in accordance with the national and local environments, will be needed. This paper proposes a content insertion service system model and synchronization scheme using ATSC(Advanced Television Systems Committee) 3.0 Event Signaling standard under heterogeneous network environment of broadcasting network and internet network based on transmission standard DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP)/ROUTE(Real time Object delivery Over Unidirectional Transport) and MMT(MPEG Media Transport) of terrestrial UHD broadcasting. It also verifies that the service operates in an environment that meets the broadcast standard.

In this paper, we quantitatively analyzed the required UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) failure rate of small UAV (≤25kg) based on the harm to human caused by UAV crash to fly over the populated area. We compute the number of harm to human when UAV falls to the ground at certain descent point by using population density, car traffic, building to land ratio, number of floors of building data of urban area and UAV descent trajectory modeling. Based on this, the maximum allowable UAV failure rate is calculated to satisfy the Target Level of Safety(TLS) for each UAV descent point. Then we can generate the failure rate requirement in the form of map. Finally, we divide UAV failure rate into few categories and analyze the possible flight area for each failure rate categories. Considering the Youngwol area, it is analyzed that the UAV failure rate of at least 10^-4 (failure/flight hour) is required to access the residential area.

If radio interference occurs or there is no navigation device, radio navigation of high-speed moving object becomes impossible. Nevertheless, if there are multiple ground stations and precise range measurement between the high-speed moving object and the ground station can be secured, it is possible to estimate the position of moving object. This paper proposes a position estimation method using high-precision TDOA measurement generated using TLM signal. In the proposed method, a common error of moving object is removed using the TDOA measurements. The measurements is generated based on TLM signal including SOQPSK PN symbol capable of precise timing synchronization. Therefore, since precise timing synchronization of the system has been performed, the timing error between ground stations has a very small value. This improved the position estimation performance by increasing the accuracy of the measured values. The proposed method is verified through software-based simulation, and the performance of estimated position satisfies the target performance.

In this paper, we describe the results of the docking phase test in the ground environment of the rendezvous/docking technology verification satellite under development for the first time in Korea. rendezvous/docking technology is a high-level technology in space technology, which is also very important for accessing and performing tasks on relative objects in space orbit. In this paper, we describe the ground test results that the chaser finally docks the fixed target using an air bearing device. Based on the thrust control algorithm in the docking phase and the relative object recognition and relative distance estimation algorithm using visual-based sensors validated in this paper, we intend to use them for later expansion to rendezvous/docking algorithms in three-dimensional space for testing in space.

대규모 댐과 같은 수공구조물의 파괴시 상당한 피해가 발생하므로 구조물설계시 가능최대강수량(PMP) 기준이 적용된다. 포락선 방법은 가장 극심했던 강우량의 포락선을 작성하여 PMP를 산정하는 방법으로 기상 및 강수량자료가 부족시 PMP 추정이 어려운 경우에 사용한다. 포락선의 근사식은 지속시간의 거듭제곱인 멱함수 형태로 나타내며, 우리나라의 경우 1일을 전후로 계수와 차수가 다른 식을 사용한다. 이러한 근사식은 우리나라의 이상홍수 발생빈도 및 규모가 커짐에 따라 검토될 필요성이 있다. 또한, PMP 산정시 활용하는 제한된 수의 지상관측자료는 시공간적 변동성을 완전히 포착할 수 없어 한계가 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위하여 기상레이더 자료를 기반으로 우리나라 전역의 최대 강우깊이-지속시간 관계를 분석 및 새로운 PMP 포락선을 제시한다. 활용한 레이더는 CMAX(Column Maximum)로 2009~2018년간 10분 단위자료를 수집하였다. 레이더 자료와 비교하기 위하여 지상관측자료 AWS를 함께 수집하였다. AWS는 1997~2022년간 1분 단위자료로 우리나라 전역의 547개 지점관측자료를 활용하였다. 레이더자료는 Z-R 관계식으로 변환하여 가외치(outlier)를 제거 및 보정하였다. 그 후, 정규 크리깅기법으로 생성한 지상관측 강우장과 병합하는 CM(Conditional Merging)기법을 적용하였다. 우리나라 최대 강우깊이-지속시간 관계를 산정한 결과, 기존 포락선의 값이 낮게 산정되었음을 확인하였다. 이는 기후변화 등에 따라 최근 극한 호우가 발생한 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 실제 근사식은 멱함수 거동에서 벗어난 형태로 나타났고, 지점관측자료가 기상레이더 값보다 과소추정되는 경향을 확인하였다. 특히 같은 기간에서 확인하였을 때, 강우지속시간이 짧을수록 AWS값과 레이더자료의 강수량이 2배 정도 차이를 보여 지점관측소가 없는 지역의 국지성 호우 존재를 확인할 수 있었다. 추후, 미래에 더 긴 레이더 시계열을 사용한다면, 더욱 신뢰성 있는 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.
