Phytochrome A (phyA) and phytochrome B (phyB) perceive light and adapt to fluctuating circumstances by different manners in terms of effective wavelengths, required fluence and photoreversibility. Action spectra for induction of seed germination and inhibition of hypocotyl elongation using phytochrome mutants of Arabidopsis showed major difference. PhyA is the principal photoreceptor for the very low fluence responses and the far-red light-induced high irradiance responses, while phyB controls low fluence response in a red/far-red reversible mode. The structural requirement of their bilin chromophores for photosensory specificity of phyA and phyB was investigated by reconstituting holophytochromes through feeding various synthetic bilins to the following chromophore-deficient mutants: hy1, hyl/phyA and hyl/phyB mutants of Arabidopsis. We found that the vinyl side-chain of the D-ring in phytochromobilin interacts with phyA apoprotein. This interaction plays a direct role in mediating the specific photosensory function of phyA. The ethyl side-chain of the D-ring in phycocyanobilin fails to interact with phyA apoprotein, therefore, phyA specific photosensory function is not observed. In contrast, both phytochromobilin and phycocyanobilin interact with phyB apoprotein and induce phyB specific photosensory functions. Structural requirements of the apoproteins and the chromophores for the specific photoperception of phyA and phyB are discussed.

Leaf senescence is a developmental process by which a plant actively remobilizes nutrients from aged and photosynthetically inefficient leaves to young growing ones by disassembling organelles and degrading macromolecules. Senescence is accelerated by age and environmental stresses such as prolonged darkness. Phytochrome B (phyB) inhibits leaf senescence by inhibiting phytochrome-interacting factor 4 (PIF4) and PIF5 in prolonged darkness. However, it remains unknown whether phyB mediates the temperature signal that regulates leaf senescence. We found the light-activated form of phyB (Pfr) remains active at least four days after a transfer to darkness at 20℃ but is inactivated more rapidly at 28℃. This faster inactivation of Pfr further increases PIF4 protein levels at the higher ambient temperature. In addition, PIF4 mRNA levels rise faster after the transfer to darkness at high ambient temperature via a mechanism that depends on ELF3 but not phyB. Increased PIF4 protein then binds to the ORE1 promoter and activates its expression together with ABA and ethylene signaling, accelerating leaf senescence at high ambient temperature. Our results support a role for the phy-PIF signaling module in integrating not only light signaling but also temperature signaling in the regulation of leaf senescence.

S-CDMA is the advanced physical layer modulation techniques of DOCSIS 2.0 specification. S-DMT is another challenging modulation technique for cable modem upstream channel due to the intrinsic robustness for fading and impulse noise. The BER performance of S-DMT and S-CDMA over the mixed channel model of AWGN and impulse noise were evaluated in comparison with TDMA. The mathematical BER derivation and the comparison of those three types of technique were performed based on the ${\varepsilon}-mixture$ non-Gaussian impulse noise model. The results of simulation show good compliance with those of analytic BER derivation. By the results of comparisons, it was verified that the performance of S-CDMA and S-DMT is almost the same, but the performance of S-DMT is far superior to that of TDMA at typical BER range of the practical data communications.

The WAVE specification, which for the Next-Generation ITS environment is a common title: IEEE 802.11p and IEEE P1609 specifications. These days, there are many activities for researching WAVE specification by release of the IEEE 802.11p specification. The difference between high-speed vehicle environment and the indoor environment, the wireless communication channel mode is that much more severe. Thus, the wireless communication system design, temperature, noise, multipath fading and can degrade the performance of the system points should be fully considered matters of. In this paper, we showed WAVE wireless communication system which based on IEEE 802.11p PHY/MAC design process, and also showed solving process many implementation problems.

In this paper, the WAVE technology for IT based on Intelligent Transport System(ITS) which using by IEEE 802.11a PHY, IEEE 802.11p MAC(Medium Access Control) and IEEE P1609.3 was implemented. The WAVE system was designed that has maximum 0.5km communication range for RSU(Road Side Equipment) between vehicle, 12Mbps transfer speed when downlink at maximum 120km/h vehicle speed. To verify suitableness of the WAVE system for ITS, we measured several parameters on the real road: communication range when low and high speed, link establishment time, data transfer speed, PER (Percent Error Rate), and latency. From the experiment results, we demonstrated that WAVE is a suitable technology for IT based on ITS.

According to the complete standard document for PHY/MAC layer of visible light communication through the IEEE 802.15.7 WG on Sept. 2011, visible light communication lays a good foundation for developing a variety of application services. Thus, visible light communication moves to the advanced research period for developing application services, but most of applications are limited only to PtP service model. However, PtMP communication environment for VLC is required to accommodate more various applications. In this paper, we analyze an effect of key parameters on network performance in the star topology based visible personal area network system. We implement a simulator with considering attributes of PHY and MAC layer which are defined by IEEE 802.15.7 standard documents, and analyze the VLC performance.

In this study, we analyzed an outdoor visible light communication system and implemented it through a simulation. We designed a Reed-Solomon encoder, a variable interleaver structure, and set it to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.15.7 PHY I specification mode. We also analyzed the performance of an additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) channel environment using a root-raised-cosine (RRC) filter, implemented a MATLAB simulation and analyzed its performance. The results showed a requirement for an additional signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of approximately 1.5 dB in a 3-ray multipath visible light channel environment than in an AWGN environment.

In this paper, the structure and detailed specifications of the HDR-WPAN physical layer have been analyzed and the block module of transmitter and receiver have been also designed, and analyzed the performance as well. In the process of transmitter design, it concentrated on all possibility of modulation of QPSK, DQPSK and 16/32/64QAM-TCM, which could be available for mode selection due to the transmission rate. In addition to the receiver module, DQPSK and TCM decoding algorithm is mainly concerned. After designing the transceiver MODEM using VHDL, we have programmed on the platform board and verified the functions of the MODEM. Some experimental results showed that it can be considered a possibility of data communication without error over SNR 22dB.
