  • This paper presents a dual-loop sub-sampling digital PLL for a 2.4 GHz IoT applications. The PLL initially performs a divider-based coarse lock and switches to a divider-less fine sub-sampling lock. It achieves a low in-band phase noise performance by enabling the use of a high resolution time-to-digital converter (TDC) and a digital-to-time converter (DTC) in a selected timing range. To remove the difference between the phase offsets of the coarse and fine loops, a phase offset calibration scheme is proposed. The phase offset of the fine loop is estimated during the coarse lock and reflected in the coarse lock process, resulting in a smooth transition to the fine lock with a stable fast settling. The proposed digital PLL is designed by SystemVerilog modeling and Verilog-HDL and fully verified with simulations.

  • Existing beacons are suitable for providing untact services, but they have the disadvantage of difficulty in accurate indoor positioning because the deviation in signal strength increases depending on the environment. In general, trilateration technique can reduce deviation, but if the distance between beacons is quite irregular, it becomes difficult to apply the algorithm. Therefore, in this paper, we studied how to reduce the signal power measurement error between beacons. First, we transformed the distance measurement formula using RSSI, assuming that the TX values were the same. In addition, we compared measurement errors with existing beacons by searching beacons with beacons scanner applications implemented with Android. As a result, it was confirmed that if a certain distance was further away, the measurement was measured more accurately than the non-changing beacon. Through this, accurate indoor positioning will be possible even in various disability situations. It is also expected that there will be more cases of establishing services that combine beacon with non-face-to-face services.

  • Since CMOS device scaling has stalled, three-dimensional (3-D) integration allows extending Moore's law to ever high density, higher functionality, higher performance, and more diversed materials and devices to be integrated with lower cost. 3-D integration has many benefits such as increased multi-functionality, increased performance, increased data bandwidth, reduced power, small form factor, reduced packaging volume, because it vertically stacks multiple materials, technologies, and functional components such as processor, memory, sensors, logic, analog, and power ICs into one stacked chip. Anticipated applications start with memory, handheld devices, and high-performance computers and especially extend to multifunctional convengence systems such as cloud networking for internet of things, exascale computing for big data server, electrical vehicle system for future automotive, radioactivity safety system, energy harvesting system and, wireless implantable medical system by flexible heterogeneous integrations involving CMOS, MEMS, sensors and photonic circuits. However, heterogeneous integration of different functional devices has many technical challenges owing to various types of size, thickness, and substrate of different functional devices, because they were fabricated by different technologies. This paper describes new 3-D heterogeneous integration technologies of chip self-assembling stacking and 3-D heterogeneous opto-electronics integration, backside TSV fabrication developed by Tohoku University for multifunctional convergence systems. The paper introduce a high speed sensing, highly parallel processing image sensor system comprising a 3-D stacked image sensor with extremely fast signal sensing and processing speed and a 3-D stacked microprocessor with a self-test and self-repair function for autonomous driving assist fabricated by 3-D heterogeneous integration technologies.

  • Machine to Machine (M2M) technology has gained attention due to the fast diffusion of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and smart devices. Most wireless network experts believe that Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Communications technology in an iBeacon network has amazing advantages in terms of providing communication services at a low cost in smartphone applications. Specifically, BLE does not require any pairing process during its communication phases, so it is possible to send a message to any node without incurring additional transmissions costs if they are within the BLE communication range. However, BLE does not require any security verification during communication, so it has weak security. Therefore, a security authorization process would be necessary to obtain customer confidence. To provide security functions for iBeacon, we think that the iBeacon Message Encryption process and a Decryption (Authorization) process should be designed and implemented. We therefore propose the BLE message Authorization Mechanism based on a One Time Password Algorithm (BLE-OTP). The effectiveness of our mechanism is evaluated by conducting a performance test on an attendance system based on BLE-OTP.

  • With the recent development of IoT and artificial intelligence technology, research and applications for optimization of real-world problems by collecting and analyzing data in real-time have increased in various fields such as manufacturing and smart city. Representatively, the digital twin platform that supports real-time synchronization in both directions with the virtual world digitized from the real world has been drawing attention. In this paper, we define a digital twin concept and propose a digital twin platform prototype that links real objects and predicted results from the virtual world in real-time by utilizing the oneM2M-based IoT platform. In addition, we implement an application that can predict accidents from object collisions in advance with the prototype. By performing predefined test cases, we present that the proposed digital twin platform could predict the crane's motion in advance, detect the collision risk, perform optimal controls, and that it can be applied in the real environment.

  • Along with the expansion of areas in which ICT and Internet of Things (IoT) devices are utilized, open source software has recently expanded its scope of applications to include computers, smart phones, and IoT devices. Hence, as the scope of open source software applications has varied, there have been increasing malicious attempts to attack the weaknesses of open source software. In order to address this issue, various secure coding programs have been developed. Nevertheless, numerous vulnerabilities are still left unhandled. This paper provides some methods to handle newly raised weaknesses based on the analysis of histories and patterns of previous open source vulnerabilities. Through this study, we have designed a weaknesses analysis system that utilizes weakness histories and pattern learning, and we tested the performance of the system by implementing a prototype model. For five vulnerability categories, the average vulnerability detection time was shortened by about 1.61 sec, and the average detection accuracy was improved by 44%. This paper can provide help for researchers studying the areas of weaknesses analysis and for developers utilizing secure coding for weaknesses analysis.

  • This paper proposes a low-complexity central processing unit (CPU) that is suitable for deeply embedded systems, including Internet of things (IoT) applications. The core features a 16-bit instruction set architecture (ISA) that leads to high code density, as well as a multicycle architecture with a counter-based control unit and adder sharing that lead to a small hardware area. A co-processor, instruction cache, AMBA bus, internal SRAM, external memory, on-chip debugger (OCD), and peripheral I/Os are placed around the core to make a system-on-a-chip (SoC) platform. This platform is based on a modified Harvard architecture to facilitate memory access by reducing the number of access clock cycles. The SoC platform and CPU were simulated and verified at the C and the assembly levels, and FPGA prototyping with integrated logic analysis was carried out. The CPU was synthesized at the ASIC front-end gate netlist level using a $0.18{\mu}m$ digital CMOS technology with 1.8V supply, resulting in a gate count of merely 7700 at a 50MHz clock speed. The SoC platform was embedded in an FPGA on a miniature board and applied to deeply embedded IoT applications.

  • After introducing the industry 4.0 policy, Korean government announced 'Digital New Deal' and 'Green New Deal' as 'Korean New Deal' in 2020. We analyzed Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM)'s research projects related to that policy and conducted markets analysis focused on Digital Twin and environmental monitoring technologies. Regarding 'Data Dam' policy, we suggested the digital geo-contents with Augmented Reality (AR) & Virtual Reality (VR) and the public geo-data collection & sharing system. It is necessary to expand and support the smart mining and digital oil fields research for '5th generation mobile communication (5G) and artificial intelligence (AI) convergence into all industries' policy. Korean government is suggesting downtown 3D maps for 'Digital Twin' policy. KIGAM can provide 3D geological maps and Internet of Things (IoT) systems for social overhead capital (SOC) management. 'Green New Deal' proposed developing technologies for green industries including resource circulation, Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS), and electric & hydrogen vehicles. KIGAM has carried out related research projects and currently conducts research on domestic energy storage minerals. Oil and gas industries are presented as representative applications of digital twin. Many progress is made in mining automation and digital mapping and Digital Twin Earth (DTE) is a emerging research subject. The emerging research subjects are deeply related to data analysis, simulation, AI, and the IoT, therefore KIGAM should collaborate with sensors and computing software & system companies.
