An adaptive sub-optimal method using a preset threshold for combining partial transmit sequence (PTS) of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal is presented. The results show that adaptive sub-optimal method reduces the 0.1% PAP by 3.4dB, while iterative flipping method reduces it by 3dB and PTS reduce it by 4.1dB. The complexity of adaptive sub-optimal method is 2.4% of that of PTS method for M=8.

OFDM system has a disadvantage of sensitiveness about the effect of frequency offset caused by the discord of oscillators in the transmitter and receiver. Either, the frequency offsets in mobile radio channels distort the orthogonality between sub-carriers resulting in the inter-carrier interference(ICI). In this paper, we analyze the effect of the ICI and propose a new method using SC technique. To analyze BER(Bit Error Rate) and CIR(Carrier to Interference Ratio) performance of the proposed method. the simulation program MATLAB is used. By the simulation results, SNR performance is improved by this method. In case the frequency offset is 0.3 and 0.5, SNR gains are over 0.5dB and 1dB in the BPSK modulation and 1dB and 2dB in the QPSK modulation at BER of $10^{-3}$ respectively. In addition, CIR performance is improved over 15dB. As a result, the proposed method is more effective to improve the system performance than the conventional method.

The degree of relative similarity between 2D patterns is obtained using Open-Ball Scheme. Open-Ball Scheme employs a method of transforming the geometrical information on 3D objects or 2D patterns into the features to measure the relative similarity for object(patten) recognition, with invariance on scale, rotation, and translation. The feature of an object is used to obtain the relative similarity and mapped into [0, 1] the interval of real line. For decades, Moment-Invariant Method has been used as one of the excellent methods for pattern classification and object recognition. Open-Ball Scheme uses the geometrical structure of patterns while Moment Invariant Method uses the statistical characteristics. Open-Ball Scheme is compared to Moment Invariant Method with respect to the way that it interprets two-dimensional patten classification, especially the paradigms are compared by the degree of closeness to human's intuitive understanding. Finally the effectiveness of the proposed Open-Ball Scheme is illustrated through simulations.

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have been spotlighted as an advanced composite material, accordingly the intensive studies have focused on FGMs to examine their mechanical behaviors. Among them is thermal buckling which has been a challenging subject, because its behavior is connected directly to the safety of structural system. In this context, this paper presents the numerical analysis of thermal buckling of metal-ceramic functionally graded (FG) plates. For an accurate and effective buckling analysis, a new numerical method is developed by making use of (1,1,0) hierarchical model and 2-D natural element method (NEM). Based on 3-D elasticity theory, the displacement field is expressed by a product of 1-D assumed thickness monomials and 2-D in-plane functions which are approximated by NEM. The numerical method is compared with the reference solutions through the benchmark test, from which its numerical accuracy has been verified. Using the developed numerical method, the critical buckling temperatures of metal-ceramic FG plates are parametrically investigated with respect to the major design parameters.

In this paper, a new PAPR reduction method using correlation of input data sequence is proposed in order to overcome the serious drawbacks, such as necessity of side information transmission or increase of system complexity and calculation which are the basis of previous SLM, PTS and DSI method. A new PAPR reduction method can be classified into Method 1 and Method 2. Method 1 reduces the correlation between the smallest sub-sequence and neighbor smallest sub-sequence. And, to consider the own correlation in detail, the Method 2 reduces two case of correlation between neighbor smallest sub-sequences and neighbor largest sub-sequences. According to simulation result, Method 1 and Method 2 has about 0.5 $\~$ O.8 dB and 1 $\~$ l.2 dB PAPR reduction effect respectively. If more detailed process to reduce the correlation of input data sequence is considered, we can achieve better PAPR reduction performance.

In this paper we consider efficient 1-D and 2-D linear-phased half-band filter designs. We first introduce a new derivation of the existing Vaidynathan-Nguyen 's half-band filter design method, which verifies that the design provides optimal half-band filters. We then propose an approximately-linear-phased IIR half-band filter design method, which is based on the all-pass equalizer design with the linear phase -$\omega$/2. Finally, we propose an efficient method to design optimal 2-D half-band filters, for which we utilize a 2-D all pass prototype filter of half the order of the desired 2-D half-band filters.

In this paper, we propose a method of generating a 2D gray image from LiDAR 3D reflection intensity. The proposed method uses the Fully Convolutional Network (FCN) to generate the gray image from 2D reflection intensity which is projected from LiDAR 3D intensity. Both encoder and decoder of FCN are configured with several convolution blocks in the symmetric fashion. Each convolution block consists of a convolution layer with $3{\times}3$ filter, batch normalization layer and activation function. The performance of the proposed method architecture is empirically evaluated by varying depths of convolution blocks. The well-known KITTI data set for various scenarios is used for training and performance evaluation. The simulation results show that the proposed method produces the improvements of 8.56 dB in peak signal-to-noise ratio and 0.33 in structural similarity index measure compared with conventional interpolation methods such as inverse distance weighted and nearest neighbor. The proposed method can be possibly used as an assistance tool in the night-time driving system for autonomous vehicles.

Seismic analyses of a pile under a large rigid basement foundation embedded in the homogeneous soil layer were performed practically by a response displacement method assuming a sinusoidal wave form. However, it is hard to take into account the characteristics of a large mat foundation and a heterogeneous soil layer with the response displacement method. The response displacement method is relevant to the 2D problems for longitudinal structures such as tunnel, underground cave structure, etc., but might not be relevant with isolated foundations for building structures. In this study, seismic pile analysis by a pseudo 3D finite element method was carried out to compare numerical results with results of the response displacement method considering 3D characteristics of a foundation-soil system which is important for the building foundation analyses. Study results show that seismic analyses results of a response displacement method are similar to those of a pseudo 3D numerical method for stiff and dense soil layers, but they are too conservative for a soft soil layer inducing large soil pressures on the foundation wall and large pile displacements due to ignored foundation rigidity and resistance.

Interoperability is the key issue in NCW. However, old-fashioned weapon systems have low level interoperability. The representative example is BTCS. Therefore, we apply KVMF R1 to BTCS in order to improve interoperability and testify the effectiveness of how to apply without any changes in existing software. In this paper, we have proposed a message and software architecture design method for applying KVMF to developed weapon system. Finally, it is confirmed that the proposed method is superior to apply KVMF to existing weapon system in a point of verifying how to highly efficiently apply KVMF on existing weapon system.

This paper provides a method for generating flight path of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that is intended to be used in visual inspection of dome-type nuclear containment building. The method basically employs 3-D model to extract accurate location coordinates. Two basic route patterns that provide guide lines in defining moving locations were defined for each side wall and dome section of the containment. The route patterns support sequential capturing of images as well. In addition, several simple equations and an algorithm for calculation of the moving location on the route were developed on the basis of 3-D geometric characteristics of the containment building. A prototype computer program has been implemented to validate the proposed method, and a case study shows the method can visualize covering area in 3-D model as well.
