A bandwidth-enhanced ultra-wide band (UWB) CMOS balun-LNA is implemented as a part of a software defined radio (SDR) receiver which supports multi-band and multi-standard. The proposed balun-LNA is composed of a single-to-differential converter, a differential-to-single voltage summer with inductive shunt peaking, a negative feedback network, and a differential output buffer with composite common-drain (CD) and common-source (CS) amplifiers. By feeding the single-ended output of the voltage summer to the input of the LNA through a feedback network, a wideband balun-LNA exploiting negative feedback is implemented. By adopting a source follower-based inductive shunt peaking, the proposed balun-LNA achieves a wider gain bandwidth. Two LNA design examples are presented to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed approach. The LNA I adopts the CS amplifier with a common gate common source (CGCS) balun load as the S-to-D converter for high gain and low noise figure (NF) and the LNA II uses the differential amplifier with the ac-grounded second input terminal as the S-to-D converter for high second-order input-referred intercept point (IIP2). The 3 dB gain bandwidth of the proposed balun-LNA (LNA I) is above 5 GHz and the NF is below 4 dB from 100 MHz to 5 GHz. An average power gain of 18 dB and an IIP3 of -8 ~ -2 dBm are obtained. In simulation, IIP2 of the LNA II is at least 5 dB higher than that of the LNA I with same power consumption.

In this paper, we propose QAPM(Quadrature Amplitude Position Modulation) modulation scheme for improving power efficiency and we compare existing PSSK(Phase Silence Shift Keying) and QAPM. An existing PSSK Modulation is extension from PSK modulation technique. The conventional PSSK modulation technique can be regarded as an extension from PSK modulation. And this PSSK has better power efficiency than PSK modulation. The Bandwidth efficiency of PSSK is half than PSK, but improved BER(Bit Error Rate) performance. A propose QAPM scheme is build on QAM. And BER performance of QAPM is better than PSSK because BER performance of QAM is better than PSK. In this paper, we compare PSSK and QAPM regard to bit error rate and throughput.

In this paper, a new circuit topology of an ultra-wideband (UWB) 3.1-10.6GHz CMOS low noise amplifier is presented. The proposed UWB low noise amplifier is designed utilizing RC feedback and LC filter networks which can provide good input impedance matching. In this design, the current-reused topology is adopted to reduce the power consumption and the inductor-peaking technique is applied for the purpose of bandwidth extension. The performance results of this UWB low noise amplifier simulated in $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process technology exhibit a power gain of 14-14.9dB, an input matching of better than -10.8dB, gain flatness of 0.9dB, and a noise figure of 2.7-3.3dB in the frequency range of 3.1-10.6GHz. In addition, the input IP3 is -5dBm and the power consumption is 12.5mW.

Control network adopted in the national power-plant or manufactory are mostly vendor-dependent products, which have their own special specification, components and individual communication methods. These systems not only raise installation cost, but also bring many difficulties to maintenance and extension. To overcome these problems, this paper introduces a development and application case of a new "PC/Ethernet-based fieldbus" architecture and protocol to be used in mid-level fieldbus. The designed system has a basic idea of "3 Layers fieldbus over Standard-LAN" and implemented on PCs. PC gives user friendly environment. By using an open standard Ethernet in layer 1,2, the system has low cost, wide communication bandwidth and high compatibility. Layer 3 protocol designed for large realtime data communication makes user bypass TCP/IP layer and gives user direct access to the Ethernet. This new protocol eliminates potential collision of Ethernet, and transmits large periodic/non-periodic control data by using long-frame/wide-bandwidth of Ethernet effectively, and offers simple API-Services to the upper layer. Since the system have installed in H-power plant simulator and U-nuclear power plant simulator in Korea, it have been proved to be efficient and stable without any trouble in realtime communication service for full-scope plant simulator that has a lot of control elements.

In this paper, we extend the multiple time scale control framework to window-based congestion control, in particular, TCP This is performed by interfacing TCP with a large tine scale control nodule which adjusts the aggressiveness of bandwidth consumption behavior exhibited by TCP as a function of "large time scale" network state. i.e., conformation that exceeds the horizon of the feedback loop as determined by RTT Our contribution is threefold. First, we define a modular extension of TCP-a function call with a simple interface-that applies to various flavors of TCP-e.g., Tahoe, Reno, Vegas and show that it significantly improves performance. Second, we show that multiple time scale TCP endows the underlying feedback control with preactivity by bridging the uncertainty gap associated with reactive controls which is exacerbated by the high delay-bandwidth product in broadband wide area networks. Third, we investigate the influence of three traffic control dimensions-tracking ability, connection duration, and fairness-on performance. Performance evaluation of multiple time scale TCP is facilitated by a simulation bench-mark environment which is based on physical modeling of self-similar traffic.

Fast decision support systems and accurate diagnosis have become significant in the rapidly growing healthcare sector. As the number of disparate medical IoT devices connected to the human body rises, fast and interrelated healthcare data retrieval gets harder and harder. One of the most important requirements for the Healthcare Internet of Things (HIoT) is semantic interoperability. The state-of-the-art HIoT systems have problems with bandwidth and latency. An extension of cloud computing called fog computing not only solves the latency problem but also provides other benefits including resource mobility and on-demand scalability. The recommended approach helps to lower latency and network bandwidth consumption in a system that provides semantic interoperability in healthcare organizations. To evaluate the system's language processing performance, we simulated it in three different contexts. 1. Polysemy resolution system 2. System for hyponymy-hypernymy resolution with polysemy 3. System for resolving polysemy, hypernymy, hyponymy, meronymy, and holonymy. In comparison to the other two systems, the third system has lower latency and network usage. The proposed framework can reduce the computation overhead of heterogeneous healthcare data. The simulation results show that fog computing can reduce delay, network usage, and energy consumption.

In this paper we proposed a candidate algorithm on G.711.1 and G.722 superwideband extension codec which is under standardization by ITU-T. The proposed codec not only provides an interoperable bitstream with ITU-T G.711.1 and G.722, but also encodes a superwideband signal with a bandwidth of 50-14,000 Hz using superwideband extension layer. The candidate codec consists of a core layer to provide an interoperability with conventional wideband codecs and superwideband extension layer using linear prediction-based sinusoidal coding. The proposed extension codec operates on 5ms frame and provides four superwideband bitrates of 64, 80, 96, and 112 kbit/s depending on the core codec. Since the resulting bitstream has an embedded structure, it can be converted into core bitstream by simple truncation without transcoding. The proposed codec has a short algorithmic delay and low complexity and passed the qualification test of G.711.1 and G.722 superwideband extension codec performed by ITU-T.

In this paper, we present an extension of the multi-code CDMA (code division multiple access) systems based on bi-orthogonal modulation by employing a convolutional encoder and an interleaver before serial-to-parallel conversion in the modulator. Bandwidth expansion by the convolutional encoder can be compensated for by the bi-orthogonal modulation, and the interleaver in the system scrambles the convolutionally encoded data bits so that, after serial-to-parallel conversion, each code channel conveys those bits far apart in time. The result is that the proposed system with several order of magnitude less implementational complexity, achieves quite close performance of the conventional systems comprised of Walsh modulation and multiple convolutional encoders and interleavers in all the code channels.

A wideband stacked patch antenna fed by an L-strip feeder is studied experimentally. The objective of this paper is to design small wideband antenna for PCS and IMT-2000 service. Experimental results confirm that an impedance bandwidth(VSWR$\leq$2) of 704.7 MHz(35.95 %) is achieved at PCS and IMT-2000 frequency band. The studied antenna can be designed easily for extension of away because it has simple structure.

This article discusses a capacity planning method in QoS-guaranteed IP networks such as BcN (Broadband convergence Network). Since IP based networks have been developed to transport best-effort data traffic, the introduction of multi-service component in BcN requires fundamental modifications in capacity planning and network dimensioning. In this article, we present the key issues of the capacity planning in multi-service IP networks. To provide a foundation for network dimensioning procedure, we describe a systematic approach for classification and modeling of BcN traffic based on the QoS requirements of BcN services. We propose a capacity planning framework considering data traffic and real-time streaming traffic separately. The multi-service Erlang model, an extension of the conventional Erlang B loss model, is introduced to determine required link capacity for the call based real-time streaming traffic. The application of multi-service Erlang model can provide significant improvement in network planning due to sharing of network bandwidth among the different services.
