Recently Wireless communication among short-distance devices has come to notice due to smart phone generalization recently. However, instead of setting up additional H/W, communication technology providing wireless communication based on S/W is in need due to limited availability of NFC's use. Accordingly, short-distance wireless communication technology that makes great use of mike and speaker which installed in every device draws attention. Our thesis suggests improvement of acoustic transmission speed by applying multi-channel parallel transmission and advancement of transmission rate that differed from each mike's own characteristics through optimizing adaptive threshold. The study is not only just applied in specific and limited conditions such as promoting corporation and payments system but also fast and convenient data transmit system general users-oriented.

In this paper, we intend to improve the availability by integrating Sonobuoy, the most essential detection system used in anti-submarine operations, with LTE communication of smart devices. Anti-submarine capability to respond to the threat of North Korean submarine forces is becoming increasingly important, and continuous research and development is required. This paper aims to enhance the ability of acoustic tactics by using a military-only LTE communication system installed on a ship, smart devices that can be linked to it, and a multi-static sonobuoy controlled by them. The proposed system can increase the visual effect by not only displaying coordinate values by receiving accurate coordinate information of each sonobuoy to a smart device, but also displaying a marker on a map.

For the acoustic models of embedded speech recognition systems, hidden Markov models (HMMs) are usually quantized and the original full space distributions are represented by combinations of a few quantized distribution prototypes. We propose a maximum likelihood objective function to train the quantized distribution prototypes. The experimental results show that the new training algorithm and the link structure adaptation scheme for the quantized HMMs reduce the word recognition error rate by 20.0%.

Due to the difference between the underwater communication environment and the terrestrial communication environment, the radio communication mainly used on the ground cannot be used in underwater. For this reason, in the underwater communication environment, various communication media such as acoustic waves, infrared rays, light and so on has been studied, but there exist several difficulties in operating them individually due to their physical limitations. The concept for overcoming these difficulties is the very underwater multi-media communication, a method to select a communication medium best suitable for the current underwater environment among underwater communication multimedia whenever there occurs underwater communication failure. In this paper, we present an underwater multi-media communication network based on star topology and a fragmentation and reassembly technique to solve the problems caused by the different MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) sizes among different underwater communication media. We also present the estimations and analysis on processing times in each of fragmentation and reassembly and the total data amount for transmitting fragments in our proposed underwater multi-media communication network.

In this paper, cobalt (Co)-electrode FBAR devices fabricated on seven-layered Bragg Reflectors are presented along with their resonance characteristics. ZnO films are used as the resonating material in FBAR devices where the Co electrode is 3000${\AA}$ thick. All processes are preformed in an RF magnetron sputtering system. As a result of characterization, the resonance characteristics are observed to depend strongly on the quality of ZnO film and Bragg Reflectors. In addition, the FBAR devices with W/$SiO_2$ reflectors show good resonance characteristics in term of return loss and quality-factor (Q-factor).

The frequency selective fading by multipaths determines a performance of underwater acoustic communication system in shallow littoral ocean. In this study, a characteristics of underwater acoustic channel and performance of multi-carrier system is evaluated in littoral ocean with a 50m deep water, an effective wave height of 0.5m and sandy mud bottom near Busan city. A multipath delay spread and time and frequency domain are presented as a function of a transmitter-to-receiver range. A bit-error-rate of a 5 channel 4FSK(Frequency Shift Keying) with a transmission rate of 1kbps, is examined and RS(Reed-Solomon) code is also adopted to remove a burst error due to time domain fading. A number of multipath are less than four and a bit-error-rate is decreased as an increase of a transmitter-to-receiver range which gives a congestion of multi-paths resulting in a decrease of time and frequency domain fading. The measured bit-error-rate is about 10-4 at greater than 600m of transmitter-to-receiver range.

The convolution code(CC) of code rate 1/2 as a forward error correction (FEC) in Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) is applied to decrease bit error rate (BER) by background noise and multipath in shallow water acoustic channel. Ratio of transmitting signal bandwidth to channel coherence bandwidth is defined as frequency selectivity index. BER and bit energy-to-noise ratio gain of transmitted signal according to frequency selectivity index are evaluated. In the results of indoor water tank experiment, BER is well matched theoretical results at frequency selectivity index less than about 1.0. And bit energy-to-noise ratio gain is also matched theoretical value of 5 dB. BER is effectively decreased at frequency selective multipath channel with frequency selectivity index higher than 1.0. But bit energy-to-noise ratio greater than a certain size in terms of CC weaving is effective in reducing bit errors. In the results, the defined frequency selectivity index in this study could be applied to evaluate a performance of CC in multipath channel. Also it could effectively reduced BER in a low speed underwater acoustic communication system without an equalizer.

Recently, as the industrial scope of multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV) is greatly expanded, the demands for data collection, processing, and analysis using UAV are also increasing. However, the acoustic data collected by using the UAV is greatly corrupted by the UAV's motor noise and wind noise, which makes it difficult to process and analyze the acoustic data. Therefore, we have studied a method to enhance the target sound from the acoustic signal received through microphones connected to UAV. In this paper, we have extended the densely connected dilated convolutional network, one of the existing single channel acoustic enhancement technique, to consider the inter-channel characteristics of the acoustic signal. As a result, the extended model performed better than the existed model in all evaluation measures such as SDR, PESQ, and STOI.
